Abstract: 28,380. Adams, D. W. Dec. 17, 1910, [Convention date]. Storing water in saddlery; pack-saddles.-A liquid-spraying apparatus, more particularly for use in extinguishing forest fires, comprises a double water-bag adapted to be placed over the saddle of a horse, like a pack-saddle. The outer and inner canvas walls 2<a>, 2<b>, Fig. 2, of the bag are stitched along the line 3, Fig. 1, to form the top of the water compartments, the intermediate portion 2<1> forming a supporting saddle, to fit over an ordinary riding-saddle. A removable leather funnel 4 is secured to a mouthpiece provided with a central bore leading into a transverse channel, which communicates with a conduit or filling-passage connecting the two sections. This conduit is prevented from collapsing by ropes 10 passing through it. The lower front corners of the bag sections are connected by a hose 23, to which a common discharge hose 24 is fitted.

Title: Improvements relating to Photographic Printing Apparatus.
IPC: G03B27/02

Granted: 1912-12-19
Abstract: 28,831. Marks, E. C. R., [Bain, G. G.]. Dec. 21. Printing - apparatus, rapid bromide and like. -Relates to photographic printing-apparatus of the kind in which a printing-frame carrying a hinged platen is slidablv mounted on a box having an exposure opening, the platen opening and closing automatically as the frame moves out of and into registry with the exposure opening, and consists in adding thereto automatic means for timing the exposure and an additional opening in the box for facilitating the setting of the sensitized paper. The printing-apparatus comprises a box D mounted on legs or standards and divided by the partition E into a printing-compartment G and viewing-compartment F provided with a non-actinic light q and the exposure-timing mechanism for the lamps r. The printing-frame K is adapted to slide into register with either of the compartments, and as it moves from the sight opening to the exposure or printing opening, the trip 7 engages and moves the switch lever 5 until the contact 4 engages the contacts 2 when the circuit of the lamps r is closed. The trip 7 in disengaged by the stop 11. The lever 5 in moving operates through a pin 30 and pivoted lever 24 the plunger w, Figs. 5 and 8, of the dash-pot v against the spring 28. The plunger w is formed with an elongated tapered opening 14 whereby it moves freely to the back of the cylinder but is retarded during the reverse movement. The pin 30 is disconnected from the lever 34 when this lever engages the member 36. The plunger w is then free to move backwards, its rate of movement being determined by the position of attachment of the spring 28 on the lever 24. When the plunger reaches the groove 12, it moves quickly, thus causing the exposure circuit to be broken quickly when the end of the lever 34 engages the pin 30. If desired, a pendulum 51 may be mounted in the sighting chamber and operated by the movement of the printing-frame K so as to give a tapping sound. The time of exposure can then be adjusted to a suitable number of beats. In order to hold the sensitized paper in position upon the negative as the frame is moved, a thin sheet metal frame 40, hinged to the pintles of the platen hinges d and carrying a flexible strip 44, is adapted to be lowered to engage it. When the platen is lowered, it automatically becomes attached to the frame 40 by means of the catch 43, whereby the frame rises with it on its next upward movement.

Abstract: 18,281. Pollak, F. Sept. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Phenol-formaldehyde condensation products.- In the production of soluble resins from phenols and trioxymethylene without the aid of catalysts, which resins are suitable for conversion into insoluble light-proof light-coloured resins, the trioxymethylene is added in portions, the water produced being driven off as it is formed, for example, by using a still with downwardly directed condenser; the soluble resin is purified by repeated washing in cold water and finally heating above 105‹ C. When pure phenol is employed, a small proportion of a cresol or cresol mixture is added to facilitate the reaction. Specification 13,431/12 is referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) refers also to the use of formaldehyde instead of trioxymethylene, but this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a Process and Apparatus for Continuously De-alcoholizing Wine, Beer and the like.
Inventor: CIAPETTI GINO
IPC: C12G3/08
Filed: 1912-10-08
Granted: 1913-10-10
Abstract: 22,988. Ciapetti, G. Oct. 8. Alcoholic liquids, distilling; column stills and rectifiers; film evaporators; bulk evaporators. -Wine, beer, and other fermented liquids are de-alcoholized by first separating the dissolved ethers and gases, then distilling off the alcohol by rapid passage through a continuous still under reduced pressure, and finally mixing the de-alcoholized, liquid with the ethers &c. separated in the first stage. The apparatus consists essentially in an ether still V, an alcohol still A comprising an exhausting cup or cups B over which the liquid flows, a cooler C into which the alcohol-free liquid flows from the still A, a mixer D in which the de-alcoholized liquid and the ethers are re-combined, a dephlegmator H for concentrating the alcohol vapours coming from the still A, and an airpump O for maintaining a reduced pressure in the apparatus. The various parts of the plant are kept at the requisite temperatures by means of liquid baths. In the form of plant shown in Fig. 1, the still A consists of a series of chambers, constituted by domes W<1> and cups B, and heated by liquid baths. The alcoholic liquid passes through intercommunicating annular channels formed in the cups B, overflows at the centre of the cups, and then passes in a film over the under-surface of the domes W<1>. Disks W in each chamber receive on their upper surfaces the liquid returned from the dephlegmator H by pipes C<1>; the vapours impinging on the under-surfaces of the disks W are partly condensed and thereby dephlegmated. The base of the still is fitted with a stirrer P, and is heated by a steam coil 3. The ether still V is formed with a hot-water jacket V<2> through which the entering alcoholic liquid is conveyed by a coil V<1> before it enters the evaporating-chamber. The vapours thus generated rise through a column Z containing a number of tubes filled with metallic balls and arranged in a bath of ether. The uncondensed perfumed ethers pass to a cooler E, and thence to a mixer D filled with small porcelain balls having holes and grooves and enclosed between two sets of bars; the de-alcoholized liquid from the cooler C passes through the mixer D downwards and absorbs the upflowing perfumed ethers and gaseous bodies. The dephlegmator H consists of vertical tubes filled with porcelain balls and immersed in a water bath; the condensed portion is freed from alcohol in a boiler U heated by a steam coil. In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. 2, the ether still V consists of a steam-jacketed column containing a series of plates over which the liquid falls. The still A comprises a series of steps B' over which the liquid flows before it reaches the exhausting- cup B, which is heated by a liquid bath in which is immersed a steam coil. The alcoholfree liquid passes to the mixer D through a coil Q in the cooler C and is cooled by, and thus serves to preheat, the liquid to be dealcoholized.
