Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Substances Resembling Caoutchouc.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: C08F36/04
Filed: 1911-10-11
Granted: 1912-10-11
Abstract: 22,454. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Oct. 11. Caoutchouc substances are prepared by polymerizing isoprene or other member of the same homologous series in the presence of oxidized natural or synthetic caoutchouc, or in the presence of about two to five per cent of the ozonide of isoprene or other member of the same homologous series, or of the ozonide of a terpene, or similar body, such as the ozonide prepared from turpentine oil, carvene mono- and di-ozonides, or dipentene ozonide. Suitable parent hydrocarbons in addition to isoprene are 1:3-butadiene, 1-methyl-1:3-butadiene, and 2:3-dimethyl-1:3-butadiene. Specification 14,041/10 is referred to. The Provisional Specification describes also the use of other substances capable of giving up oxygen or of acting as oxygen carriers, for example oxidized linseed oil, superoxides such as benzoyl peroxide, perborates, hydrogen peroxide, cerium sulphate, blue vanadium salt, oxidizable metals such as sodium, oxidized isoprene, &c.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Colouring of Moving Picture Films.
Inventor: VANDAL MARCEL
IPC: G03D15/00
Filed: 1912-05-30
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 12,788. Vandal, M. May 30. Stencilling-apparatus; inking-apparatus; stopping - arrangements. - In a machine for colouring kinematograph films by applying colour through a stencil film, the picture film 5 and stencil film 6 are drawn across a table 4 by means of a worm-driven toothed drum 3, and are kept stretched by a loosely-mounted toothed drum 2 provided with a leather brake 9 carried by a spring 10. The films are kept in proper register by means of four independent disks 15 provided with teeth of special shape, and loosely mounted upon spindles 14 to enable them to adapt themselves to variations in the longitudinal and lateral distances between the perforations in the films. Metal rulers 16 hold the films lightly upon the table 4. The film is uniformly coloured by two brushes 17, 18 which move in opposite directions transversely of the film and also in circular directions opposite to each other, the distance between their longitudinal axes remaining constant. To effect this movement, each brush may be secured to a rod 24 carrying a block 25 at one end, through which the other rod 24 slides. The blocks are connected by pins 26 to toothed wheels 27 geared together so as to rotate in opposite directions at the same speed. The brushes may be caused to describe irregular curves such as figures of eight by making one of the pins 26 movable. The brushes are driven by a belt 31 passing round pulleys 33, 32, 34 and a pulley 30 on one of the wheels 27. The brushes and their actuating - apparatus are mounted on a plate 28 which is pivoted upon the axle of the pulley 34 so that it may be lifted to provide access to the brushes and films. The movement of the plate 28 also slackens the driving-belt 31 and stops the machine. Colour is supplied to the brushes from a pair of ribbons 19, 20 moving parallel to the films over extensions 21 of the table 4, and passing round drums 37 which dip into colour baths 38 and are intermittently rotated by a ratchet-wheel and pawl 40, 41 actuated by a disk 45, on the axle of the drum 3, provided with pins engaging an inclined face 47 on an arm 44. A spring 46 holds the pins and face in engagement, and the swing of the arm 44 may be adjusted by a cam or screw.

Title: Machine for Perforating Maize Grains, used in the Manufacture of a Coffee-substitute.
Inventor: DICKER STANLEY GORDON SINCLAIR
IPC: A23F5/44
Filed: 1912-06-05
Granted: 1913-06-05
Abstract: 13,247. Dicker, S. G. S., [Landsberger, S.]. June 5. Processes of treating grain.-A machine for perforating maize after soaking, and preparatory to treatment with a sugar solution and roasting to produce a coffee substitute, comprises vertically-reciprocated needles 9, beneath which the grain is fed by an intermittently - moving band-conveyer 22 from a hopper 44. The needles are mounted in a block 5 guided by bolts 4 and actuated by an eccentric 15 and variable connecting-rod 13. A lever 30, pivoted at 31 and connected to the block 5, is linked at the other end by a slotted rod 33 to a lever 34 loosely mounted on the shaft 29 of the conveyer pulley 26, and carrying a spring pawl 39 engaging a ratchet-wheel 28 fixed on the shaft, so that the conveyer is operated on the upward movement of the needles. The motion only commences after a certain amount of play allowed by the slot 37, which permits the grain to be previously removed from the needles by a wiper 11 through which they pass. A rod 47 carrying agitators reciprocates across the hopper 44, being connected to a bell-crank lever 51 pivoted at x and linked by a rod 49 to the lever 30. The grain is distributed on the conveyer by a pocket-wheel on the shaft 53, and is spread out by a rotary brush 58.

Patent GB-191214574-A (GB)
Title: Totalizing Mechanism for Calculating Machines and the like.
Inventor: RAUCHWETTER FRANZ
Filed: 1911-12-05
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 14,574. Rauchwetter, F. Dec. 5, 1911. Transfer mechanism. - In a calculating machine, a slide carrying an intermediate transfer pinion is positively operated by means of a swinging member to complete a transfer movement after the said member has been set by a pin on the lower wheel. The numeral wheels a are actuated through pinions b, c, d from a pinion e connected to some part of the mechanism. When a numeral wheel a has passed the " 9 " position, a pin p thereon engages a bevel q on a pivoted sector r, which is thereby rocked into the position shown in Fig. 2. A pin u on the sector then engages the end of the slot t of a slide g which is locked in position by a projection m on a disk n engaging between surfaces k on the slide. Further movement to complete the transfer is effected by rotation of the main operating- handle, which causes the shaft w to rotate and, by means of a projection z on a disk v on said shaft adapted to engage surfaces 3 on the sector r to rock the sector, and consequently move the slide to effect the advance of the higher numeral wheel by the rolling of the pinion c on the pinion b. The parts are returned to the normal position, on the reverse rotation of the shaft w, by the projections z engaging the inside of the surfaces 3 of the sector, the retaining-spring 4 of which is adapted to rock the sector sufficiently to allow of this engagement. At the same time the projection m returns the slide and locks it in normal position.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for and Method of Generating Oil-gas for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BATES FRANK HENRY
Filed: 1912-12-19
Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 29,277. Bates, F. H. Dec. 19. Vaporizers, external.- Gas primarily for use in internal - combustion engines is obtained by forcing oil from a tank A by a pump B through a series of generators C, C<1>, C<2> adapted to hold a body of oil in inner shells c<1>. The flow of oil is controlled so as to maintain the relative. degree of richness in the respective generators approximately uniform. A space between the inner shells c' and outer shells c affords a passage for a heating-medium, such as exhaust gases from the engine using the gas generated. The oil is conducted serially through the chambers c' in a direction opposite to that of the hot gases, connecting-pipes c<6>, c<7> being provided between the generators C, C' and C', C<2> respectively. The connecting pipes c<6>, c<7> are formed with loops c<8>, c9 having air vents c<10>, c<11> to maintain a constant oil level in the generators. The temperature of the generators increases from C to C<2> and the oil gas or vapour from each is delivered to and mixed in a common outlet pipe c<3>. By suitable connexions any of the generators may be cut out of use for cleaning or other purpose. The generator chambers c<1> of generators C', C<2> are provided with discharge pipes a', a<2> leading to the tank A so that, if desired, a circulation of oil through either or both generators may be maintained. Air may be supplied to the vaporizing-chambers to act as a carrier for the gas. The oil-supply pipe is provided with a branch a<7> having a valve a<8> whereby the oil supplied by the pump may be in part returned to the tank and the amount of oil delivered to the vaporizers regulated. The oil is passed through each vaporizer in turn, and is exposed to a constantly increasing temperature finally being, in most cases, evaporated to dryness in the last vaporizer C<2>, which may from time to time be cut off from the system and cleaned.
