Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Gum Tragasol from Locust Bean Kernels
Inventor: CASTLE PETER CAMERON DOUGLAS
Filed: 1905-05-24
Granted: 1906-08-24
Abstract: 10,822. Castle, P. C. D. May 24. Gums.-In the extraction of gum tragasol from kernels of the locust tree, the kernels are treated with water and formaldehyde or similar substance: In an example, the split kernels, with the gum removed, are placed in a jacketed vat, and cold water and some commercial formalin are added, or formaldehyde may be passed into the liquid ; after standing with occasional stirring, more water is added and stirred, and the liquid is then pumped or run off as far as possible. Water containing formalin is then added to the kernels, and after standing for a time the vat is heated for some hours with periodic additions of hot water to the mash. After the final addition of water, the material is heated with occasional agitation for some time, and is then filtered. In another example, after addition of the first quantity of cold water and formalin, the whole is allowed to stand until all the water is absorbed ; the process is then combined as above by the addition of water and heating; a slightly coloured product is obtained in this case. Instead of formalin, trioxymethylene, formaldehyde derivatives, mineral and other naphthas, or alcohol, may be used. Specifications No. 24,877, A.D. 1894, and No. 6151, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Grain &c.], are referred to.

Abstract: 11,750. Nelson, G. F., Bean, J. H., May, H., and Brett, L. M. June 5. Cutters; combination tools.-A wire cutter formed with, or adapted to be fitted to, a bayonet, so as not to interfere with the proper functions of the weapon, performs an automatic cutting movement relatively to the bayonet when forced against a wire. A drop-forged bracket A is recessed at A' to fit upon a bayonet B'. The bottom of the bracket rests upon the hilt B of the bayonet, while a spring catch C engages the lower edge of the bayonet, while a spring catch C engages the lower edge of the hilt. The bracket A has a wire-receiving, curved, edged notch D and a lug E upon which a cutter disk F is mounted. When the bayonet is thrust across the wire to be cut, the wire enters the opening D and is forced between the disk F and a cutting-blade G, pivoted at G', and so cut. A spring H carried by the blade G and bearing upon the hilt of the bayonet tends to throw the cutting-blade into its normal position. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the cutting- edge of the blade works behind the cutting-edge of the disk. Two pivoted cutting-blades may also be used, as shown in Fig. 5, or two cutting-disks as shown in Fig. 6. A further modification may be used as shown in Fig. 7 in which a sliding band K, to which is pivoted a cutting-blade L, has a cutting- edge K<1>. The blade L is pivoted to a link M, the opposite end of which is pivoted to the bracket at M<1>. The sliding band K has a collar K<2> through which a guide-pin N works.

Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 27,186. Hugo, L. du B., and Pearsall, R. H. Dec. 29. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to gearing for motorvehicles of the type in which the velocity ratio is caused to vary automatically with the speed by means of centrifugal clutches. The driving and driven shafts a, b are connected through a centrifugal clutch e, which comes into action when the shaft b yields so as to give the high speed. Toothed wheels a', a<2> on the shaft a mesh with wheels c<1>, c<2>, which are connected to a countershaft c by a free-wheel clutch and by a centrifugal clutch d respectively. A wheel b<1> on the shaft b meshes with a wheel c<3> also mounted by a free-wheel clutch on the shaft c. During the high speed, the wheels c<1>, c<3> overrun their shaft. As the shaft b moves more slowly, the clutch e falls out of action and the drive takes place through the wheels a<2>, c<2>, the clutch d, the shaft c, and the wheels c<3>, b<1>. A further reduction in speed causes the clutch d to fall out and the drive to take place through the wheels a', c' to the shaft c. Reversal may be arranged for by mounting the wheel c<3> on a sliding sleeve with a pinion c<4> which may gear with a wheel b<2> on the shaft b through an idler r. Each of the clutches d, e, Figs. 2, 3, and 4, contains a helical strap h connected at one end h<1> to a disk f secured to the shaft c and at the other h<2> to a lever j capable of being thrust over to tighten the strap around a loose drum g to effect the engagement of the clutch. This is done by weights k, which at a certain speed fly out centrifugally against the action of springs n and actuate toggle linkages l, l<1>, the ends of which are connected to the lever and to the disk f respectively. When out of action, the strap h is supported by stops m.
