Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Dyeing Textile Materials.
Inventor: SMITH WILLIAM ROSCO
IPC: D06B5/14
Filed: 1913-01-04
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 294. Smith, W. R. Jan. 4. Passing fluids through materials; circulating liquids with materials treated suspended therein. -In apparatus for dyeing textile materials in the form of thread, yarn, or woven fabrics, the material treated is immersed in a dye-bath and agitated bv air forced into the bottom of the tank while it is, preferably, moved with the liquor over the air-inlets; the liquor is heated simultaneously, and the heated air and vapour rising from the liquor are returned to the bottom of the tank. The materials and liquor are placed in an elongated, annular tank a provided with paddle-wheels b mounted on oppositely rotating shafts c so that the mass of materials and liquor are circulated round the tank. A practically air-tight cover d and paddle-boxes e prevent loss by evaporation; hinged end-parts d<1> give access to the tank a. An air-pump k draws air from the top of the tank through conduits m and forces it through conduits j, i to tuyeres f, in the bottom of the tank a, which have narrow elongated outlets g. Each tuyere f is subdivided into two chambers by a partition, one communicating with the air conduit i and outlet g and the other with a steam-conduit o and a narrow elongated outlet p. The steam conduits o branch from a conduit comprising a drum r which is utilized for introducing fresh dye liquor &c., in a thoroughly mixed condition, by means of a funnel t pro vided with a valve.

Title: Locks.
Inventor: AUGENBRAUN PETER FRIDERICH
IPC: E05B55/00
Filed: 1913-03-26
Granted: 1914-01-08
Abstract: 7250. Augenbraun, P. F. March 26. Latches, sliding; cases; preventing operation. -The outside knob follower of a latch can be secured against operation by a thumb-turn on the inside and released by a lock located in the outer knob. A finger 25 on the thumbturn is adapted to operate a bell-crank 24, the arm 21 of which can engage a notch 22 in the outer follower 8, Figs. 2 and 3. When so engaged, a pin 29 secured to the arm 21 is brought into the path of a cam 31<a> on a follower 12 with which the lock connecting-bar 32 is in engagement, so that the follower 8 is released when the lock 33 is operated by the key. On then turning the knob to withdraw the latch, the end 5<a> of the latch rod 4 impinges against a finger 31<b> on the lock follower 12 and returns this to the normal position and allows the bellcrank to re-engage the follower 8 under the action of its spring 20. The follower 8 is always secured unless released by the thumb-turn 25. The latch bolt 2 is mounted on a plate 6 secured centrally within the casing. The bolt rods 4 have terminal heads 5<a> and pass through lugs 5 fixed on the plate 6 and through loose plates 7 on which the followers 8, 8<a> are adapted to bear to withdraw the bolt. To assist in holding the parts in position, the heads 5<a> have extensions bearing on one side of the plate 6, and the plates 7 are connected by a yoke 7<a>, Fig. 6, located on the other side of the plate 6. Two extra rods 4<a> are rigidly connected to the plates 7 and carry springs 11<a> compressed between the ends of the rods and the lugs 5. A lever 19, held inoperative when the door is open by an extension 17 of a slide 3 engaging a pin 18 thereon, is allowed to fall behind the bolt when the door is shut and the slide 3 pressed in. When either follower is turned to withdraw the bolt, a projection 19b on the yoke 7<a> raises the lever 19 out of engagement. The lock follower 12 and the stop mechanism 21 are also mounted on the plate 6, so that with the exception of the knob followers 8, 8<a> which are journaled in the outer and inner plates of the casing, the whole of the mechanism can easily be removed.

Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 544. Wulffing, J. W. Jan. 8. Aerial machines with aerostats; aerostats; controlling motive power, gear for; propelling; steering and balancing.-An air-ship is fitted with a number of propellers by which it is propelled forwardly, upwardly or downwardly, or transversely, and means are provided whereby the air-ship is steered and balanced by propellers and elevating-planes. A propeller a, with forwardly -inclined braced blades, is connected to a motor in the front of the aerostat by a universal joint, and serves to force the air along the sides of the aerostat. A motor t, Fig. 8, at the rear drives four or more propellers b, the shafts of which are set at an inclination of about “ to ¢ of that of the walls of the aerostat to the longitudinal axis of the vessel. These propellers serve to create a region of denser air behind the aerostat. Each propeller b can be disconnected by means of a clutch u for steering the ship, and the clutches may be operated by electric means, through a gravity-controlled switch, when the nose of the ship dips or rises so as automatically to balance the vessel. The gravity-controlled switch may cause the elevators to be operated with the propellers. One or more of the tubes w, Figs. 1 and 8, of the aerostat may be open at each end so that air ind uced by the movement of the ship may be directed against the motor t to cool it. Under the aerostat at each end are arranged propellers c, B, f spirally at different levels, so that each works in a fresh current of air. Each propeller is directly coupled to its motor and can be put into or out of action as desired. The front and rear motors and propellers c are mounted on platforms rotatable about a vertical axis for steering. The motors and propellers f can be adjusted about an horizontal axis for aiding upward and downward movements. The motors d, Fig. 10, are coupled direct to the driving- propellers B, through a clutch c<1> ; and, through reversing bevel gearing e<1>, f<1>, g<1>, each motor d drives a propeller la on a shaft x at right-angles to the longitudinal motor sbaft h<1>. The frame k, carrying the propeller la, can be swung around the shaft h<1> and looked in position by a detent n' and senaicircular rack m<1>, so that the propeller l<a> serves for upward, downward, or transverse propulsion. A lifting-propeller g<2> is placed at the lower end of an open-ended shaft q through the aerostat. The motor t may be used to operate the steering-planes. All the motors may be put into or out of operation simultaneously, for example, by electric means.
