Patent GB-190603222-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture of Formaldehyde Sulphoxylates
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1906-02-09
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 3222. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Feb. 9. Formaldehyde sulphoxylates are produced by treating alkali hydrosulphites with acetone or ethylmethyl ketone, crystallizing the ketone sulphoxylate in vacuo, and treating with formaldehyde. Or acetone sulphoxylate may be obtained as zinc compound by the action of zinc dust on acetone and sulphur dioxide at 50-60‹ C., and this is converted into the sodium compound by' treating it with sodium carbonate. The ketone sulphoxylate is treated with formaldehyde, and the ketone is eliminated, with formation of formaldehyde sulphoxylates. The change is readily detected because the solution of the ketone sulphoxylates treated with the equivalent proportion of formaldehyde no longer reduces indigo sulphonic acid in the cold. The formaldehyde sodium sulphoxylate may then be obtained by evaporating in vacuo. Other salts, such as zinc salts, may be used in like manner for sodium ketone sulphoxylates. The preparation of ketone sulphoxylates from acetone or ethylmethyl ketone and alkali hydrosulphites with their isolation by crystallization is described, for instance, in Specification No. 6216, A.D. 1904.

Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 14,050. Zawadzki, J., and Knabe, B. June 19. Pile fabrics ; carpets ; looms, pile forming and cutting in ; healds and leashes ; shedding- motions. - Pile fabrics, resembling chenille fabrics, for carpets and covers are produced by weaving simultaneously a ground fabric and trausverse chenille strips, and binding the strips to the ground fabric. The ground warps b, Fig. 3, which are of jute twine and are preferably woven double, and the binding-warps d of well-twisted cotton or of iron wire are shed by heald frames, and the pile warps g, g<1>, g<2> are passed through the small eyes of jacquard leashes h, Fig. 2. The leashes h are divided into groups, and the oddnumbered leashes i<1>, i<3> are connected by bars L, which are raised and lowered by lever mechanism and pass through elongated eyes on the leashes. The leashes i<2>, i<4> are similarly connected by bars L. To weave the fabric, the warps d are raised, the warps b are lowered, and the selected pile warps are lowered by the jacquard and shed by the bars l, L and connected mechanism while the wefts m, m<1>, m<2>, m<3> are inserted. All the pile warps and the warps bare then raised, the warps dare lowered, and a body weft n is inserted. The warps b are then lowered, a sharp-edged or grooved rod o is inserted, and the process is repeated. The fabrics can be produced without the use of the bars l, L but in this case more jacquard cards are required. The rods o may be withdrawn without cutting the pile loops, in which case the pile threads are cut flush to form tufts after the fabric is removed from the loom. When the rods o are withdrawn in the loom so as to cut the pile threads above them, a movable and rotatable roller is preferably arranged at the front of the loom and is adapted to press the fabric against a board to hold the cut pile threads in position and prevent them from being drawn out of the fabric.

Patent GB-190626300-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: FELL JOHN CORRY
Filed: 1906-11-20
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 26,300. Fell, J. C., [Union Typewriter Co.]. Nov. 20. Typewriters. - Relates to platen stop arrangements for facilitating condensed record work &c. A stop 28, Fig. 2, turns with the platen and cooperates with a rear stop 38, or with both the rear stop 38 and a front stop 43 ; the stops 38, 43 are normally movable with the platen in either direction, but can be locked in different positions in the path of the stop 28. The stop 28 is a tongue on a disk 27, Figs. 2 and 8, fast on a hub 26 secured to the platen shaft 13. The stops 38, 43 are pins projecting from the faces of disks 34, 39 mounted on the hub 26. Springs 44,45 fitted in notches in the hub 26 bear against the disks 34, 39, so that they normally rotate with the platen. The disks 34, 39 are formed with notches 36, 42 at line-space intervals, to receive a flange or lip 54 on a lever 50. The disk 34 is somewhat larger than the disk 39, so that the flange 54 can lock either the disk 34 or both disks. The lever 50 is formed with three recesses 63, 64, 65 for adjustment over a spring pin in a bushing 60. Lugs 58, 59 on the lever 50 engage the bushing 60 in the extreme positions of the lever. The step-disks may be enclosed in a casing 66, 67, Fig. 8, slotted for the passage of the flange 54. In setting the stops 33, 43, the disk 34 is locked by setting the lever 50 at the middle recess 64, and the platen is turned forwards until it is arrested, and then backwards until it is again arrested. By this adjustment, the stop 28 is brought into contact with the stop 38, and the stop 43 into contact with the stop 28. From this position, the platen is turned forwards to position the bill &c., and then the lever 50 is set at the upper recess 63 to release the disk 34. When the next bill is to be inserted, the lever 50 is set at the lower recess 65 to lock both desks 34, 39, so that the backward movement of the platen and the subsequent forward movement are limited. The disk 39 and spring 45 may be omitted, in which case the forward rotation to the printing line is gauged by the eye. Fig. 12 shows such an arrangement, together with 'a modification of the means for locking the stop-disk. The edge of the disks 34<b> is smooth instead of being notched, and the disk extends between the jaws 72 of a screw c!amp.

Title: Improvements in Shuttle-brake Mechanism
Inventor: LAFORET JEAN
Filed: 1907-07-11
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 16,001. Laforet, J. July 16, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Looms, checking shuttles in ; swells ; shuttle - relief m o t i o n s.-Shuttles are checked and automatically released by a device comprising a tongue of special construction connected to a pivoted arm, which is moved by the connecting- rod or other reciprocated part of the loom. The arm G, Figs. 2 and 4, carrying a lug J to which the tongue I, acted on by an adjustable spring K, is jointed, is adjustably pivoted to a support H and has buffer springs G<1> received between the jaws D, D'. The jaw D has an adjustable U- shaped piece E which embraces the connecting-rod C, which in the position shown allows the tongue to enter the shuttle box. When the shuttle enters, it bears on the front portion of the tongue, which is thus rocked ; when the shuttle has moved till it abuts on the shoulder of the tongue, the latter is rocked in the opposite direction and bears against the rear of the shuttle, the springs G<1> allowing the arm G to yield. The shuttle is released by the rod C, which moves the jaw D on its pivot E<11> until it abuts against the screw F of the jaw D<1>. The jaw is then moved together with the arm G, thus withdrawing the tongue I. The arm G has a rod O, which moves the lug P of the safety-catch. The following forms of tongue are also described. The tongue I is jointed to the part J by a spring R, Fig. 6, forming a socket, a second spring R<1> and a regulating-screw T being also used. The part J may be placed beyond the tongue. In another form, a flat spring is provided to increase the pressure on one end of the tongue when the shuttle bears on the other. In the construction shown in Fig. 9, when the shuttle contacts with the spring X, this bears against the screw V and rocks the tongue, causing the front part to bear against the shuttle. In a similar form, the tongue is directly pivoted on the lay. Another tongue has its heel cut away to provide a seat for an adjustable protruding spring. The tongue shown in Fig. 12 consists of parts I, I', each of which when displaced by the shuttle transmits motion to the other by the spring U. As shown in Fig. 14, the lug J may be at the front end of the tongue, and bosses Z, Z' connected by a spring d are provided. The catch P is operated by the rod O and hook Y. In a simpler form, the bosses Z, Z' are dispensed with. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also a statement that the checking of the shuttle can be effected without the intervention of the pivoted arm, which is then only used for the release motion. Also the movement of the tongue can be obtained by other means, such as a roller rolling on an inclined plane fixed to the tongue or the arm controlling the tongue. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
