Title: A Process for Dyeing Wool or other Animal Fibres and Fibre Mixtures containing Wool with Aniline Black.
Inventor: BETHMANN GEORG
Filed: 1905-12-27
Granted: 1906-06-21
Abstract: 26,962. Bethmann, G. Dec. 27. Dyeing.-In dyeing wool and other animal fibre and mixed goods containing wool and cotton with aniline-black, the wool &c. is first well cleaned, then neutralized with dilute acid or acid vapours, and then padded with a usual padding mixturecontainiug ouly sufficient chlorate for the oxidation of the aniline, in contradistinction to a similar process described in Speci6cation No. 21,236, A.D. 1900. The colour is subsequently developed, a fast, unitorm black with a bluish shade being obtained, even in mixed goods. The goods are well cleaned with soap, ammonia, or other suitable alkali, and then rinsed in water and either further treated moist or dried. In the latter case, they must be steeped in hot water before the next treatment. The water may be slightly acidified or contain a little acid salt, such as magnesium chloride. The alkalinity of the wool is then neutralized by treatment for about an hour with an aqueous solution of sulphuric or other acid. Boiling facilitates the process, but is not necessary. After being rinsed and wrung out, the goods are impregnated with an aniline-black padding mixture, such as is used in cotton dyeing, and the colour is then developed as usual by moist oxidation or steaming. The goods are finally treated with alkali bichromate, mixed, and washed in water or only washed in water or treated in alkaline solutions, or both methods may be combined. The cleaned wool may be treated with acid vapours; instead of with the aqueous solution described. The wool is spread out on hurdles in hydrochloric acid vapour, for instance, or carried mechanically through rooms filled with the vapour. Specification No. 2327, A.D. 1865, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Net Making Machines
Inventor: LIE CORNELIUS
Filed: 1906-02-08
Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 3081. Lie, C. Feb. 8. Net-making.- The knot - tier 1, Fig. 1, is a rotatable instrument between projections 3, 4 on which the cord or thread is laid, the cord passing above and to the left of a projection 2, as shown in Fig. 1. When the instrument is rotated towards the position shown in plan view in Fig. 4, the cord slips down round a suitable projection 5. At the same time, a previouslyformed mesh is pushed forward through an aperture 10 of the instrument by a feeder 8. As the instrument arrives at the position shown in Fig. 4, the upper portion of the bight of the thread passes a swinging, spring-actuated pawl 11, while the lower portion slides down into the position shown in Fig. 2. When the instrument is rotated back to the position shown in Fig. 3, the pawl 11 picks up the upper portion of the thread into a loop, the lower portion of the bight of thread remaining in position by the aid of a projection 6. The shuttle is then passed up through a curved recess in the feeder 8, thus completing the knot shown in Fig. 6. A spring-actuated belt-crank 18 distends the loop as the knot is being tightened. The net-holding device consists of a bar or latch 30, Fig. 8, passed through the meshes at the completed end of the net. The bar is pivoted in a holder 29 swivelling on a pivoted runner 27 working in a slotted holder 25, which can be slid along a mesh-measuring bar. The knots are made one at a time at the other end of the net working in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 8. When the end of the course of knots is reached, the holder 29 is swivelled through 180 degrees and a fresh course made. In order to ensure the proper size of mesh, the shoe on which the holder 25 is pivoted is provided with a pointer registering with suitable scales on the measuring- bar.

Title: Improvements in Electric Telegraphy.
Inventor: KITSEE ISIDOR
Filed: 1906-05-02
Granted: 1907-03-28
Abstract: 10,249. Kitsee, I. May 2. Telegraphs. - In a method of telegraphing through submarine cables and lines of large capacity, the transmitting - apparatus comprises two unequal sources of electromotive force B, B<1>, in opposition to each other, and in series with two condensers C, C<1> and the line-wire L. The transmitting-key A is arranged to shunt the battery B when depressed. The receiving - apparatus comprises a polarized relay D and a Morse sounder or retransmitting-relay F, arranged in a closed circuit with a battery B' and a resistance R', which is short-circuited when the relay tongue moves to its contact e', thus actuating the sounder F. Normally, the relay tongue rests against its stop e, but, when the key A is depressed, the battery B is short-circuited and the battery B<1> sends an impulse to line which throws the tongue against the contact e<1>. When the key A is raised, the battery B sends a current impulse in the reverse direction and brings the relay tongue back to its stop e. Dot-and-dash signals are thus sent by varying the time during which the key A is depressed. The polarized relay D may be replaced by a siphon-recorder, which may have a shield so arranged that ink is deposited on the paper when the siphon is against one stop, but not when it is against the other.

Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 18,276. Horvatek, A. Aug. 14. Couplings, non-automatic.-A coupling for railway vehicles &c. comprises an integral hook and link pivoted to the draw-bar and counterweighted so as normally to assume an horizontal position, from which position, however, it may be moved for coupling purposes by a cord passing over pulleys to the side of the vehicle. Further, the link is provided at its outer end with a second hook, adjustable vertically and adapted to receive the link of an ordinary chain coupling. The vehicles to be coupled are run together so that their buffers are compressed, after which the hooked ends 4 of the links 5 are lowered by pulling on cords 10 attached to weighted extensions 6, so that, when the cord is released, the link 5 swings upwards and engages the opposing hook 4, the coupling being tightened by the extension of the buffer springs. Spring buffers 8 are fitted to the vehicle framing and serve to check the upward motion of the links 5. A hook 13, Fig. 4, for engaging with the link 17 of a chain coupling, passes centrally through a bar 12 attached to the link 5, and may be raised or lowered by having a screw-threaded portion 14 engaging a nut 16 formed with an arm 15. After the engagement of the link 17, the hook 13 is again raised to the position shown so as to prevent accidental uncoupling.
