Abstract: 10,979. Bennis, E. May 21. [Cognate Application No. 24,865, A.D. 1908, dated Nov. 19.] Smoke-consuming; blast apparatus; mechanical stoking. - Salt-impregnated steam obtained by heating salt or sea water in a boiler of the " geyser " or " flash " type is supplied to a boiler furnace through or beneath the hollow fire-bars for the purpose of consuming smoke and creating a forced draught, and is also utilized in an engine which operates the mechanical stoker and reciprocating fire-bars. The salt-impregnated steam is generated in a coiled-tube boiler which may be arranged in the uptake of a marine boiler, as shown at E, Fig. 4, or separate from the main boiler as shown at E, Fig. 5. The exhaust steam from the engine H, Fig. 5, which operates the stoker may be led to the chimney of the auxiliary boiler or main boiler, or discharged in the form of jets at the ends of the fire-bars, as shown at b, Fig. 4, or through the pipe a beneath the grate. Live steam from the boiler E may be used instead of exhaust steam for creating a draught. The engine H also serves to operate a pump G for feeding the boiler E. According to the earlier Provisional Specification, the steam may be impregnated with salt by passing it through a salt container.

Filed: 1909-07-12
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 16,211. Kunheim & Co. Jan. 25. [Convention date]. Light, obtaining by friction of metallic and other particles.-Pyrophoric bodies are prepared from hydrides of the rare-earth metals, rendered stable to air by the addition of a metal not difficultly fusible, or a hydride of such a metal. Magnesium and aluminium, or hydride of magnesium, are particularly suitable. The bodies may be used for igniting volatile liquid, combustible gases, or wool, and they are suitable for use in miner's lamps. As it is difficult to exclude air when fusing together the rare-earth metal hydride and the added metal or metal hydride, some of the hydrogen is burnt out and may be replaced by treating the fused product with hydrogen. Or the pyrophoric body may be prepared by treating with hydrogen a mixture obtained by fusing one or more rare-earth metals and another metal, for example, a mixture of cerium metals and magnesium.

Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 25,999. Becke, M., and Beil, A. April 8, [Convention date]. Dyeing mixed goods with substantive and acid dyes; multi-colour dyeing.-In dyeing half-wool, the wool fibre is first dyed with an acid dye, and is rendered incapable of absorbing any further dye by treatment with a tanning substance and a metallic salt, as described in Specification 19,668/00; the cotton fibre is then dyed with a substantive dye; the wool and cotton may be dyed the same or contrasting tints. Variegated effects are obtained by using half-wool containing wool fibres which have been previously treated by the process described in the Specification referred to above. According to examples: -(1) Half-wool fabric is dyed in a bath containing sulphuric acid, new coccine 0, Glauber's salt, and tannin; tartar emetic is then added and the dyeing continued; the fabric is then dyed in a second bath containing dianil blue G, Glauber's salt, and tartar emetic; scarlet and blue shades are thus obtained. (2) A mixed fabric of cotton and shoddy is dyed in a bath containing amido black E, sulphuric acid, Glauber's salt, and tannin, and then in a second bath containing patent dianil black EF conc., Glauber's salt, and tartar emetic; a black shade is thus obtained. (3) Mixed worsted and cotton yarn is dyed in a bath containing naphthalene blue B, sulphuric acid, Glauber's salt, and tannin, then in a bath containing dianil direct yellow S, Glauber's salt, and tartar emetic; blue and yellow shades are thus obtained. (4) A half-wool fabric, containing yellow, red, and green effect-threads which before being woven have been treated with tannin and tartar emetic according to the before-mentioned Specification, is dyed in a bath containing azo acid black 3BE and tartrazine, Glauber's salt, acetic acid, and tannin, and then in a bath containing patent dianil black EB conc., Glauber's salt, and tartar emetic; a black with red, yellow, and green effects is thus obtained. Similarly the wool may be dyed blue, green, or brown, and. the cotton black. The tanning-substance may be added after the wool dye has been absorbed; the metallic salt for fixing the tanning-substance may be added in a separate bath or in the second dye bath.

Abstract: 16,621. Lanston Monotype Corporation, and Pierpont, F. H. July 12. Separating or sorting gauges.-Relates to a machine for gauging and sorting articles, such as type matrices &c., in which the articles are placed in a carrier and singly moved to the measuring position, where the article can be adjusted, a microscope being employed, the gauging-means then setting a stop to control the delivery of the article as under, correct, or over gauge. The articles Y are raised from a series in a galley J by a vertical slide K and thrust into a shouldered recess in a carrier A by an horizontal slide K<1> operated by a bentlever k, k<3> with spring play between the arms, from a pin L<1> on a cam-wheel, the two slides being connected by a bent lever k<5>. The carrier A is pivoted to and has spring bearing on a lever A<1>, the other end of which is adapted to engage, after measurement, one of three stops on a lever D, which is arrested by a pin C<2> on a slide C<3>, Fig. 12, inclined so as to thrust the gauging-needle B into the cavity to be measured, the article being pressed by a spring plunger S against a plate M. During measurement, the specimen is observed by reflection from a mirror E<2>, through a hole in which the needle passes, and a second mirror in the body of a microscope E, and can be adjusted laterally by turning a screw R' and vertically by a screw R and bent lever R<2>. When the needle meets the surface, an electro-magnet is energized to clamp the slide C, the circuit including a wiper and cam L'‹, L", which are in contact only from shortly before the needle moves until the longest travel can be made. A wedge C<6> behind the cam C facilitates an accurate setting by a screw C<8>. The stop lever D is always returned to initial position by a spring-controlled arm on a cam, and is held where placed by the pin C<2> by a friction catch D<5>. After measurement, the carrier being brought to delivery position, one of three ejectors O, O<1>, O<2>, attached to a spring- controlled plate, engages, when the plate is thrust forward by its actuating-lever O<6> engaging a pin O<5>, with a slide in the carrier so as to push the article into the over or correct gauge galleys J<1>, J<2>, or into the under gauge shoot. The needle B is spring-mounted on a holder in its slide, which is bevelled to engage the slide C. The machine is driven by a worm-wheel l<1> engaging a worm l<2>, which is depressed at starting by a hand lever L<4> against the action of a spring, the motion bringing a pin L<3> into a cam groove L<2> which retains the parts in gear until the end of a revolution, when the pin rides up to engage a shoulder in the groove and stop the shaft, this stop occurring when the article has been brought to gauging position, and is to be manually adjusted by means of the screws R, R', under visual control through the microscope.
