Title: Method of Mordanting Fibrous Materials
Inventor: BLUMENTHAL FERDINAND
Filed: 1907-01-16
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 1193. Blumenthal, F., and Wolff, J. Jan. 16. Dyeing.-In mordantingfibrous materials, extract lyes are used which are all but free from tannin, and result from the manufacture of gallic acid, gallaminic acid, &c. They fix chromium oxide on the fibre and yield true colours with mordant dyestuffs. They may also be used with aluminium compounds. In an example, animal fibre is slowly heated to the boiling-point io the mordanting-bath with potassium bichromate, with or without sulphuric acid, and is then washed and dyed.

The ribbon is secured to the spool by means of a split sleeve. The other end of the ribbon is secured by a spring clip to the drum R, which is actuated to feed the ribbon at the peripheral speed of the rollers D, F by a wheel t<2> meshing with a gear t<1> on a clutch member T, which is adapted to engage, against the action of a spring t, with a seat in the end of the drum, Fig. 9. Adjacent to the member T are loose washers t<4>, t<5> prevented from rotating by a pin which passes into the framing. Between the washers is a plate t<6> pivoted on the stud S and having apertures for receiving balls t<7> which normally rest in recesses in the washers, but which, when the plate t<6> is turned at intervals determined by a cam f on the cylinder F, separate them and force the member T into its seat. The plate t<6> is turned by the rod U, actuated by a spring U<3> and connected to a bellcrank U' carrying a spindle V, on which are mounted the cam - roller U' and the paper - fed roller. After an impression has been made, the ribbon is rewound on the spool N by the spring n<4>. The paper is fed between springs V<3> and the contacting feed - roller which, when the spindle V drops, engages the impression cylinder and feeds the sheet into the bite of the printing and impression rollers D, F. In order to re-ink the inking- ribbon, or for direct printing, an inking-roller X is provided. This roller consists of a perforated ink receptacle covered with felt ; it runs in contact with the type surface and is driven by a gear x<6>.

Abstract: 11,616. Charvin, A. May 29, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor road vehicles.-Comprises a construction of combined change-speed, reversing, and ratchet or free-wheel gear all arranged in one oil-tight casing. Fig. 4 shows a gear having three speeds, the casing being removed. A sliding shaft driven by the motor can be clutched to either of the bevel-wheels b<1>, c<1>, d<1>, by means of square feathers on the end of the shaft which engage with internal grooves in the bevel-wheels. These bevel-wheels are always in mesh with toothed rims on the disk a, which can thus be driven at either ot three speeds. The disk a drives the half axles h, h<1> by means of pawls f, f<1> and ratchet-wheels g, g'. For reversing, the motor is connected by the sliding shaft with both the wheels j and i<2> at once, and the disks i, i<1>, which are keyed to the half axles, are then positively driven in the reverse direction through the bevelwheel i<2> and the wheels j<1>, i<3> respectively. Should a reverse differential drive be required, the sliding shaft is clutched to one only of the wheels i<2> , j, the respective road-wheel in each case being driven and the other running free. The half axles are maintained in relative position by the bolt k provided with end ball bearings. The rims of the disks i, i<1> are grooved for braking purposes. The ratchet pawls allow the road wheels to over-run the driving-disk a in turning corners.
