Abstract: 25,137. Chipperfield, W., and Garforth, W. E. Nov. 2. Kinematograph apparatus. - In kinematographic apparatus in which the film C passes between a fixed wall L and a movable gate J prior to being engaged by ' gripper ' feed and pressure rollers, the pressure roller B being supported on a frame D adapted to be moved towards or away from the feed roller A which is supported in stationary bearings, the gate J is elasticallv carried on the frame D in such a manner, that it allows the film to pass during the feeding movements and holds it against movement at other times. The swing frame D is moved by the action of a cam F, carried by the frame D, upon a stationary blade spring E, whereby the pressure roller B is resiliently forced into position to coact with the feed-roller A to feed the film; the frame D is provided with an adjustable stop H to limit the movement of the roller B towards the roller A when one of the recessed portions on the roller A comes opposite the roller B, i.e. between the feedmovements. The movements of the gate J are controlled by those of the pressure roller B through the engagement of the rod D<1> on frame D with the sides of the slots N<1> in the arms M, N of the gate J. The rollers B, A are divided into two or more active portions by circumferential grooves. The gate J is extended downwards below the axis of the pressure roller B and has rectangular openings through which project the active portions of the roller B. The wall L is similarly extended downwards and furnished with rectangular openings for the active portions of the roller A.

Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 4203. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Casein C0.]. 18. sizes,. starch.-Starch is modified bv treatment with an agent such as oxalic acid which is neutralized with ammonia &c. when the action has proceeded far enough, the product being mixed with water and a large proportion of mineral matter for use as a facing coating for paper. The starch is treated with an aqueous solution of the modifying-agent, the water being, preferably, just sufficient to bring the agent into intimate contact with the starch granules; the mass is then dried, preferably in vacuo; until it is about as dry as the original starch. The temperature used during the drying is insufficient to break up the granules, and the treatment is arrested by treatment with a suitable alkaline reagent, preferably ammonia. When the viscosity of the product has reached a predetermined value after the neutralization the product may be dried. A viscosity test for application to samples during the progress of the modifying treatment is described. A suitable composition for coating lithographers' paper is a mixture of a suitable mineral base, such as kaolin, blanc fixe, or satin white, and water with the dried modified starch described, which has been heated in water to a temperature sufficient to break up the starch granules. In a modification this coating-material is produced in practically one step without any drying of the modified starch. Formaldehyde may be added to prevent decomposition.

Abstract: 9877. Bauchwitz, R. May 7, 1912, [Convention date]. Type-wheel actions; keyboards.-Relates to keyboard and like setting-mechanism for registering and printing-apparatus such as cash registers, wherein one or more rows of keys are provided, and each row is adapted to project two or more stops into the path of, and to limit the movement of, differentially movable members which through yielding connexions actuate type-wheels or the numerals wheels of a totalizer. The key-levers 5 are rotatably mounted on a spindle 3, and each lever has a cross-bar at its end provided with pins 6, adapted when the lever is turned to the right or left to release the corresponding stop-lever 7, which is thereby rocked so as to move a shield 9 to expose the digit corresponding to the key operated. Each lever 7, when rocked, carries a stop 10 thereon into the path of differentially movable members 1 mounted on a spindle 39. When the mechanism is inoperative, the differential members 1 are held in their normal positions by tappets or stops 19 mounted on levers 16, which are rocked by the stop levers 7 when a key is operated to withdraw the tappets from the path of the members 1 and cover the ciphers 0, which are normally exposed. The differential members 1 are operated by rocking levers 26, which through bars 27 raise and lower a transverse bar 30, by means of which racks 32 are actuated to rock the differential members until they are arrested by the projected stops 10. The racks 32 are connected by springs 31 to the transverse bar 30 and, through other gear-wheels 34, 35, 36, actuate type-wheels 37, from which an impression can be obtained by raising a platen 41. Key interlocks.-The levers 7 for each denomination are held in their set position by means of catches 11 mounted on a spindle 12, and the operation of a second lever in any denomination returns the first lever to its normal position. The return of the levers may be. effected by rocking the zerokey to the right and left or by the depression of a special key 23. The wedge-shaped part 24 of the key-lever 23 rocks a pair of levers 25 to release the catches 11 simultaneously.

Abstract: 21,481. Polysius, O. Sept. 23. Direct air-pressure apparatus. -In apparatus for conveying and mixing sludge, slurry, mud, &c. produced in sugar factories, chemical works, &c. by means of compressed air, the air utilized for conveying the mixture is also employed for mixing it. In the form shown, the slurry from the tank a flows either directly or through a tank b maintained at a constant head to the forcing-chambers c, c', c'. Compressed air from the main f is admitted to these chambers through three-way valves q, q<1>, q<2>, and the liquid is forced into the main l. The valves q, q<1>, q<2> may be operated by floats in the chambers. After the discharge of the liquid from the chambers, the compressed air passes through the pipe o to the reservoir r from which it passes to agitators in the tanks a, b. The valves q, q<1>, q' are each provided with an additional port p, p<1>, p<2> by means of which the chambers are connected to atmosphere while filling, and the chambers are so arranged that while one is filling, a second is emptying and the third is connected to the reservoir r. The agitators may be of various forms ; in the tank a is shown one comprising a perforated tube s, the liquid being drawn in at the bottom and forced round after the manner of a mammoth pump. In the tank b a similar tube b<1> is shown which is slotted instead of perforated.

Abstract: 10,839. Blackburn, J. H. May 2. Yarns, marking and measuring.-Relates to the arrangements described in Specification 12,399/04, and comprises means for determining the amount of ' tab ' or extra length of warp allowed between two lumps for stitching or stamping and for affixing the marks to denote the amount. The shafts b, c carry, respectively, the usual cut-mark hammer g, controlled by a cam f and lever e, and the scarf-motion hammer j, which marks at regular intervals until sufficient marks to complete a series are made and which is controlled bv a lever h and a cam i. The shaft d carries a lever k controlled by a cam p and operating in connexion with a new series hammer or marker m. The warp passes over the roller n and measuring-roller o to the beam, and the cams are driven through the gearing shown from the roller o, the wheel 2 being a change-wheel and 3 a carrier-wheel. The wheel 6, constantly driven, is loose on the shaft 5 and carries a dog-catch 7 engaging a dog-catch 8 on a grooved disk 9, which is slidably mounted on, but rotates with, a sleeve on a screwed portion of the shaft 5, a spring 11 fixed to the disk -and to a collar 12 serving to press on the disk and to keep the catches 7, 8 in engagement. When the cam p allows the parts k, m to drop, the whole of the marking- mechanism is stopped for a time. This is effected by an inclined face 13 carried by the arm k engaging a similar face on an adjustable slide 15 carried by a cranked arm 16 in contact with a depending part, which engages a projection on the arm of a fork 20 engaging in the groove of the disk 9; the catches 7, 8 are thus disengaged momentarily, the catch 7 being allowed to travel forwards until it again contacts with the catch 8 and the spring 11 (coiled slightly) having forced the catch 8 slightly backwards to take it behind the catch 7 ready for the next action; the keying of the disk 9 on its sleeve is such as will permit of this lagging- back action. By employing a number of catches 8, the time of operating the shaft 5 can be varied, so that any required length of tab or distance between the series can be indicated.
