Title: Process for Manufacturing Gum or Mucilage from Locust Beans.
Inventor: PINEL ADRIEN
IPC: C08B37/00
Filed: 1911-07-10
Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 15,783. Pinel, A. July 10, 1911, [Convention. date]. Gums, carbohydrate and like.-In a process for making .gum or mucilage from the locust bean, the beans are macerated in a decorticating- solution, the decorticated beans are macerated in borax solution to make them fragile and insoluble, the damp beans are ground, and the resulting paste is washed with water and then rendered soluble by admixture with a sugar. The complete process comprises the following steps: (1) Passage of the beans through a disintegrator and bolting-machine to break up the beans and deprive them of their germs and a portion of their skin ; they may then he screwed into lots of equal size. (2) Removal of remaining portions of skin by soaking with stirring in alkaline lye, for example of sodium hydrate, carbonate, or sulphide, followed by rapid rinsing with water on a sheet of metal gauze and draining or drying. If a colourless product is required, the maceration &c. may be repeated. (3) Maceration with borax solution, or with boric acid after decortication with caustic soda, followed by draining, drying, and reduction to a damp powder or paste which may be dried and kept for further treatment, or treated at once. (4) Soaking in water, preferably hot. (5) Separation of the powder hy decortication, filtration, pressing, or drying. (6) Formation of a paste of definite composition by mixture with water. (7) Solubilisation of the gum by the thorough admixture of certain sugars, snch as honey. manna, and invert sugar. An antiseptic may also be added. The paste obtained is ready for use and can be diluted with water when required. heating then converting it into mucilage. A simplification of the process, applicable, for instance, when coloration from the skin does not matter, comprises dispensing with the alkaline decortication, treating the broken beans directly with borax, preferably with a little added soda. and then grinding, washing, and rendering soluble. Or the alkaline decortication may be applied and the borax treatment omitted. 'The beans are then washed by submersion in water until they begin to dissolve. this treatment being followed by exact neutralization with an acid. preferably sulphuric or hydrochlorie. The gum is subsequently extracted by boiling in water and filtering.

Abstract: 27,519. Heide, H. C., [Deutawerke vorm. Deutsche Tachometerwerke Ges.]. Nov. 29. Indicating maximum movements.-The maximum hand of a speed indicator is moved forwards by the ordinary pointer and is retained by a member which can. be rotated by a key for resetting purposes. The maximum hand and its controlling parts are mounted on the glass cover-plate of the instrument. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the hand 12, provided with a pin 13 for engagement by the speed pointer 3, is frictionally mounted on a spindle 11, which is also frictionally mounted in a boss 8 held in the cover-plate 6 by a screwed member 9. By means of a key 21 the spindle can be depressed and rotated to return the hand 12. In a modification, the hand is secured to a spindle carrying a spring pawl engaging an internally toothed ratchet-wheel rotatable by the key. In the form shown in Figs. 7 and 8, a spindle 23, on which the hand 12 is mounted, carries a spring 24, the ends of which bear against the rotatable friction wheel 11<c>. One end of the spring carries the pin 13, and the arrangement is such that, when this pin is engaged by the speed pointer, the end of the spring carrying the pin is pressed out of contact with the wheel, thus facilitating the movement of the hand. In a further construction, the pin 13 is carried by the speed pointer and acts in a similar manner upon the spring.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Rope Fire-escapes.
Inventor: COAKLEY JOHN
IPC: A62B1/06
Filed: 1912-12-06
Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 28,158. Coakley, J. Dec. 6. Weight-actuated lowering-apparatus.-Comprises a construction of fire-escape lowering- apparatus of the kind in which an endless rope, provided with two alternately acting baskets or slings, is passed around two pulleys, one secured to the window or other convenient point on the building, and the other suitably held on the ground level at a convenient distance from the building. The apparatus comprises an endless rope 3 which runs in a spiral groove in a non- rotary friction block 1, and round a pulley-block 20. The persons or goods are attached to slings which are connected to the endless rope by magnus hitches. When persons are being lowered, the hooks 15 of the slings are engaged by the knots 14 which prevent the slings from being drawn too tightly around the body. The speed of descent is regulated by persons on the ground hauling on the transverse bars 2 and eye 11 of the member 12, thereby regulating the amount of friction between the rope and block 1, which may be made hollow and filled with water to absorb the heat generated. Window appliances.-The apparatus may be supported by hooks 22 on an adjustable rope adapted to engage the window frame or the like, or this method of supporting may be used in addition to the support hereinafter described. Preferably the apparatus is supported as shown in Fig. 4 by a pair of bars with spiked feet 19 for engaging the floor of the room. A block 9 at the end of the longer bar engages the top of the window frame and supports the bar in an inclined position. The shorter bar is supported on a projection 10 on the longer bar and is formed with a projection 17 which bears against the longer bar. A selvagee or loop of rope yarn or a wire strap 8 is looped round the two bars and receives the hook 7 of the friction block. In some cases the shorter bar may be used as a derrick by connecting it to the longer bar so that its upper end overhangs the window. The hook 7 is hung from the end of the bar in this case.

The cages N of the two lower hoists n are constructed with separable powder-charge holders n<2> and projectile trays n<1>, which are loaded in the magazine Q and shell-room P respectively, and each cage N conveys two complete rounds of ammunition to the working chamber J. To the turret trunk o is fixed a platform o<1> in the magazine Q, on which the servers stand to pass the powder charges from two fixed circular trays q<3> to two sets of waiting trays q<1>, q<2> on the trunk o. The trays q<1> feed the outer compartments of the powder holders n<2>, as shown in Fig. 2, and the trays q<2> feed the inner compartments, as shown in- Fig. 1.

The bogies, which are operated by continuously-running motors through friction transmission gear, are automatically locked in the discharging-position, and are automatically discharged when the trays n<1> descend into the receiving positions. The operator is informed when the locking takes place by an electric bell or the like operated by the slipping of the friction gear. In the working chamber J, the charges and projectile are transferred from the cages N on to inclined trays j and slide through doors j<3> in a partition j<1> into the compartments of the upper-hoist cages K. The cages K are normally worked in pairs, but in emergency, the two elements of each pair can be worked singly, The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an auxiliary shell hoist to be used in case of failure of the upper hoists. The shells are raised to a position at the side of the guns and transported by a traveller to a position in rear of the hoists K, whence they are served to the guns by loading- arms swinging around vertical pivots.
