Title: Improved Manufacture of Sheets or Objects from Acetyl Cellulose.
Inventor: REESER HENRI JACQUES GUILLEAUM
IPC: C08J3/09
Filed: 1909-06-02
Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 12,976. Reeser, H. J. G. June 2. Grant of Patent refused. Coating-compositions. - A celluloid substitute is produced by dissolving the variety of acetylcellulose which is soluble in acetone or ethyl acetate in a liquid which only exerts solvent action when heated to near its boiling-point, and then adding camphor or camphor substitutes. A suitable solvent is a mixture of ethyl alcohol or methylated spirit or other alcohol of the same series with benzene, toluene, or other hydrocarbon of the benzene series. The manufacture can be carried out by pouring the solvent from the precipitate which results when the acetylcellulose solution cools, and mixing with the precipitate camphor with or without acetyochlorhydrin. On heating the mass, a clear solution is obtained solidifying on cooling to a compact mass which may be worked by cutting, pressing, rolling, &c. The material may also be produced by mixing the acetylcellulose, solvent, and camphor or camphor substitute, such as a mixture of phenol and creosote, and heating until a clear liquid results as before. From the liquid manufactured as described above may be made coated fabrics.

Title: Improvements in Operating Signals.
IPC: G08B5/02
Filed: 1909-07-07
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 15,863. Bujon, R.., and Compagnie de Signaux Electriques pour Chemins de Far. July 17, 1908, [Convention date]. Visual outdoor signals slots and l i k e apparatus.- The motive power necessary for the working of a signal is furnished by a weight, a n d the signal is worked from a distance with a minimum expenditure of electric current. On the frame of the apparatus are mounted spindles 1<a>, 2<a> carrying loose toothed wheels 1, 2, connected by a chain 3 provided with stops 4, 5, 6 so placed that after one rotation of the wheel 1 each stop will have taken up the position previously occupied by the one in advance. The wheels are driven by a weight 9 carried by a chain 8 passing over a wheel 7, and are normally kept at rest by a pivoted counterweighted rod 11 engaging a stop 10 on the wheel 1. The frame also has a vertically sliding rod 13 connected at one end to the signal wire 24, and carrying a magnet 15 the armature of which is attached to one arm of a pivoted lever 16, the other arm 16<b> of which serves as a stop for the stops 4, 5, 6. A further magnet 23 on the frame has its armature attached to a pivoted counterweighted lever provided with a hook for holding up a weight 19 which slides on a bar 18. The stop 10 has a switch 26, which, when the stop is at rest, as shown, connects terminals 27, 28, and when moving connects terminals 29, 30. Two operating - relays 34, 35 have terminals 32, 33 connected to contact 29, while the terminal 36 of the relay 34 is connected to the contact 28, and the terminal 38 of the relay 35 with the battery 41 and with magnets 15, 23, the return circuits of which lead to contacts 30 and 27 respectively. When both relays are energized, the magnet 23 attracts its armature and so releases the weight 19, which falls and oscillates the lever 11. The weight 9 thereupon turns the wheels 1, 2, thus breaking contact at 27, 28, closing contact at 29, 30 and energizing the magnet 15, which attracts and holds its armature. The stop 4 then contacts with the stop 16<b> which cannot turn out of its path. The rod 13 is thereupon raised and the signal 25 operated, the upward movement of the rod 13 being limited by a stop ; while the stop 14 on the rod raises the weight 19 until it is caught and held by the hooked lever 20, and the lever 11 is thus permitted to return. If the relay 35 is then neutralized the electro-magnet 15 is de-energized and the arm 16<b> liberated. The weight 9 thereupon completes the rotation of the wheels 1, 2, which are brought to rest by the lever 11 encountering the stop 10. The rod 13 is returned by the signal counter-weight 24<a>, which returns the signal to normal.

The parts are shown applied to the mould described in Specification 22,063/03. A base having side members D<1>, D<2> supports an intermediate plate upon which are mounted blocks D<3>, D<1>. These blocks are located between the member D<2> and a crossblock D<5>, which is pressed towards the blocks by a spring member d<2> bearing against an adjustable jib D<6>. The blades A ... A<4> are held between the block D<3> and a block D<8>, which is held down by a clamping-plate and is pressed forwards by a sleeve D<10> engaged by a spring D<9>; this spring bears against an adjustable sleeve D<11>. A spring pin D<13> holds a distance-piece D<14> down upon the walls of openings in the mould-blades. A jet-pusher actuated by the cross-block cam-slot D<19>, a metal inlet D<17>, and a nick-pin D<16> are provided. One or more of the blades A<1> ... A<4> may be coupled to the blade A by means of a pin B, which is carried by the blade A, or by the blade-actuating member, and is provided with a series of notches for engagement with a set-screw or a spring detent. A similar pin C carried by the block D<8> locks those blades that are not to be moved with the blade A to the mould body. By pushing-in the pin B, the pin C is forced outwards to a corresponding extent. The mould cavity is formed bv the blocks D<3>, D<5>, the end faces of the moved blades, and the side face of the nearest unmoved blade; the block D<8> constitutes a wall when all the blades are moved. A projection b<3> limits the forward movement of the blades; their backward movement determines the set-width of the mould cavity. Fig. 9 shows a mould for coating low spaces or quads. The blades are of equal height but do not extend to the top of the mould cavity. The top of the mould is closed not by a matrix, as when a type is cast, but by a block E, which extends over all the blades and is removably secured to the block D<3>, or other part. The mechanism is applicable to any kind of machine; the cross-block and blades may be moved by hand or otherwise. Specification 27,480/03 is referred to.
