Title: Improvements in Leather Treating Machines.
Inventor: KEHRHAHN ALEXANDER HEINRICH
IPC: C14B17/04
Filed: 1909-10-30
Granted: 1910-09-22
Abstract: 25,002. Kehrhahn, A. H. Oct. 30. Rotating - tool machines. - The beds of machines for fleshing, unhairing, setting, and otherwise treating hides are formed of sections hinged or jointed together so as to yield without forming sharp edges between adjacent sections. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the bed sections 19 are carried in a casing 18, mounted as usual in rocking-arms 14, and are pressed out towards the hide 6 by springs 21, 22, which are adjustable by screws 23. The sections are pivoted together at 25<a>, the pivots also carrying links 26<a> attached to screws 28, which allow individual sections to be adjusted to suit the thickness of the hide. Looseness of the sections may be taken up by springs 33 bearing on the casing 18. The springs 21, 22 have different time periods, so that jointly they tend to prevent the sections from vibrating. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the sections 19 are pressed out by weighted arms 36 and rods 38, which cause sufficient friction between the casing 18 and the sections to prevent the latter from vibrating. The sections are not linked together, but the formation of sharp edges on the bed is prevented by a yielding band 39, which is stretched between the hide and the bed. A form is shown in Fig. 9, in which the sections 19, which are carried by arms universally jointed to the casing at points vertically below the contact point of the hide and the tool, are controlled by springs 21 and screw-rods 26<a>, and are carried in sets by bars 53. The bars are traversed by pairs of screws 55 which are chaingeared at 56, so that by turning either of them, a relatively long portion of the bed may be advanced or withdrawn to give the required cut. The sections are pressed together laterally by a spring 46 or equivalent device. The band 39 may be backed by a rubber bedding, and be secured to the sections 19 by hooks 45. In the alternative form of bed section shown in Fig. 11, alternate short and long lugs 58, 60 are provided, the latter having set-screws 62 for adjusting the height of the sections, and in the form shown in Fig. 16, the sections have corresponding lugs 64 and recesses 63 on their working faces 19<f>.

Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 28,826. Wise, F. Dec. 9. Liquid supply controlled by motion of gas-holder; generators supplied with liquid successively; purifying gases.-The water-supply of an acetylene-generator is regulated by the rise and fall of a pipe f, Fig. 3, carried by the gas-bell c. The pipe works in a cylinder k, and is perforated at the bottom, so as to take water from the tank a or an overhead supply-tank, the water leaving the pipe by a neck g. When the bell is in its lowest position, the tube f rests on a valve m and closes it, but the apparatus may be started by pouring water into the generators. Two or more generators are used, arranged so that, when one is exhausted, the water fills one side of the supply-trough 3, Fig. 4, and rocks the device 13, causing the water to pass into the second generator. The generators consist of a casing q, Fig. 1, with an inner lining r, and the space between these two parts is filled with water in which a cap s dips. The carbide is placed in cages y superposed in a holder v, and the water from the trough 3, fills the space between the holder v and the lining r, and overflows into the carbidereceptacle through a hole w. The gas passes either through the water-seal 5, Fig. 5, in the cap 4, or through pipes 6, and is led by a pipe 7, through a scrubber 8 into the gas-bell c.

Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 24,163. Ramen, A. Oct. 31. Precipitating.-Vessels a for use in the precipitation of copper from solutions by means of iron are subdivided by substantially vertical perforated walls e into three chambers, the centre chamber g containing the iron and the two outer chambers f communicating with each other at the top of the vessel by one or more horizontal channels b. These channels are open at the ends and contain paddle wheels d or other devices for propelling the liquid from one end to the other. By this means, the liquor is caused to circulate substantially in an hori. zontal direction, at first through the whole charge of scrap iron, but afterwards only through the upper layers, as the lower part becomes clogged by precipitated copper. The circulating liquor is thus largely prevented from circulating through the precipitated metal, thereby preventing re-solution of the metal. Where each vessel has two channels, the paddlewheels may be driven by separate short shafts, as shown in Fig. 3, thereby providing for free access to the centre of the vessel. Two paddlewheels in adjacent vessels may in this case be driven by a pulley c between the vessels.
