Abstract: 9980. Treckmann, E. April 26. Braiding-machines. - Relates to an improved and simplified machine for forming fabric with eyes or loops in predetermined positions and to an arresting device by means of which the correct intervals between .the bobbins whether making eyes or not are maintained. Each portion of the track comprises cross-over plates a, a<1>, horseshoe-shaped side plates b, b<1>, and transfer plates c, c<1>. When an eye is to be made the corresponding bobbin is led round the plate b see Fig. 3 which is provided with a well-known eye-forming device. If no eye is to be made, the respective bobbin is arrested on the plate a by the pattern-mechanism until the correct interval between it and neighbouring bobbins has been obtained. The arresting-device, Fig. 5 provides means for unolutehing the driver i, mounted below the plate a, from the driving- gear o. When the driver is elevated, as shown, a stud p strikes a spring blade r and brings the driver and bobbin-to rest in the correct position.

Abstract: 2178. Chemische Fabrik auf Actien (vorm. E. Schering), and Loose, A. Jan. 27. [Addition to 27,227/12.] Acetates.-The process described in the parent Specification for saponifying acetyl cellulose by heating with an aromatic amine is modified by the addition of a salt which is soluble in an aromatic amine, or which is decomposed by an aromatic amine with the formation of salt thereof; or by the addition of a compound, other than a free acid, which reacts with an aromatic amine to form an amine salt or an amide. Suitable salts are the salts of ammonia, hydrazine, alkylamines, pyridine, quinoline, piperidine, and of ethylenediamine, and also magnesium, zinc, or zinc-ammonium chlorides, and other heavy metal salts. Suitable compounds that will form amine salts or amides are sulphuryl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride, benzyl chloride, and benzene sulphochloride. The process of this Specification and of the parent Specification may also be carried out under pressure, with or without diluents. According to examples, cellulose acetate is boiled with aniline to which is added a small quantity of diethylamine hydrochloride, or quinoline sulphate, or ethylenediamine hydrochloride; or heated in an autoclave with o-toluidine to 220‹ C.; or heated with aniline and alcohol to 175‹ C. under pressure; or dissolved in aniline, benzene and alcohol added, and the mixture heated to 185‹ C. under a pressure of thirteen atmospheres. In the latter example, prolonged heating gives regenerated cellulose.

Abstract: 9517. Buckell, C. Teasdale-. April 17. Torpedoes, locomotive.-Relates to hollow collision heads for practice runs, normally filled with oil and provided with inlet and outlet holes so arranged that, during the run of the torpedo, water enters from outside and replaces the oil which escapes and rises to the surface where it gives an indication of the path followed by the torpedo. According to the invention, special inlet and outlet pipes are provided, and means are also provided for generating gases, which, at the end of the run, expel the water from the hollow head, thus causing the torpedo to rise and its nose to protrude above the surface of the water. As shown, the inlet 7 in the nose of the hollow head 2 is connected to a rigid pipe or to a flexible pipe 6 loaded with a weight 8 and extending to the bottom of the head, and the outlet 3 is connected to a flexible pipe 1 provided with a float 4. Gases are generated by the contact of water with a calcium or other charge 10 contained in a vessel 9, the admission of water being delayed by a filter plug 11 and a sal-ammoniac plug 12 or otherwise. The inlet 7 and outlet 3 may normally be closed by plugs of soap, which are removed by hand before the run, or automatically at the beginning of the run by the inrush of water.

Ploughs; cultivators.-In ploughs and like cultivating - implements in which the tilling- tools are adapted to rise over obstructions, means are provided for exerting on each tool a downward pressure which remains uniform or increases slightly as the tool rises to the ground surface and then gradually decreases as the upward movement continues. The tool stem or standard 4 is mounted on a beam 2, which is pivoted on a bolt 3 and supported by a stay 16. A lever 6 bears on a stud or a grooved roller 5 on the beam 2 and is pressed downwards by a coil spring 7, the pressure of which is adjustable by means of a screw and nut 11. The lever 6 may be curved upwards or downwards to vary the pressure on the roller 5 as it rises. It may be integral with the spring 7. In a modification, a bent extension of a straight lever is connected to a verticallyarranged compression spring by a bent rod. In the construction shown in Fig. 7, the lever has a depending arm 40 which is adjustably connected by a link 47 to a pivoted coulter lever 31 and to a spring 50 adjustably fastened to the frame or to a bracket 51. The spring 50 may be dispensed with, and the link 47 connected to the draught chain. In a further modification, the arm 40 is adjustably connected by a chain to a short lever pivoted to the coulter lever, the spring 50 or the draught chain being also adjustably connected to the short lever. Fig. 9 shows a modification in which a roller 54 is mounted in the forked link 47 to run up and down the curved arm 40 of the lever 6. A roller may be similarly mounted in a shackle connected to a chain. A locking- pin may be inserted through holes 41, 57. The implement may be provided with disk coulters and tilling-tools.
