Granted: 1912-09-12
Abstract: 20,395. Arledter, H. Sept. 14. Tobacco paper is produced from waste tobacco, tobacco stalks, or ribs, in an apparatus such as that described in Specification 2018/19, [Class 96, Paper &c.], which comprises an hermetically closed vessel, in which a vacuum may be produced or pressure may be applied. An extract of the least fibrous tobacco is produced in the vessel, the vessel is then closed, a partial vacuum is produced, and the whole contents are heated. the material is then cooled, by refrigerating if desired, a quantity of the coarse ribs or stalks is introduced, the vessel is again closed, a high vacuum produced, and the disintegration and mixing are allowed to proceed for some time. Perfumes, flavourings, &c. may then be added by being either sucked in or forced in. As soon as the mass is in proper condition, it is emptied out and worked into single sheets by hand, or is run on to a paper machine.

Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 19,152. Augezd, A. Odkolek, Baron. Nov. 4, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 19,050/12.] Parachutes.-To prevent recoil of the device described in the parent Specification for projecting a parachute from an aerial machine &c. a simultaneous discharge is effected in an oppositely directed extension 2 of the discharge tube 1 for the parachute stem 11. The necessary resistance to the discharge in the tube 2 may be offered by a plug 9 of soft metal which is adapted to be forced through a conically contracted portion of the tube. To prevent the plug from being discharged with a high velocity, the discharge gases may be allowed to escape from orifices 10 after the plug has passed the contracted portion of the tube. In this case, the bottom end of the tube may be closed to prevent the escape of the plug. Simultaneous discharge in the two tubes is effected by the striker 8, detonator 7, and passages 4, 6. According to the Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) the device may be applied also to the firing of projectiles and rockets. Further, instead of using a plug, the nozzle of the tube may be closed by a plate of suitable breaking strength. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 22,371. Hodgson, J. L. Oct. 1. Venturi or Pilot-tube measuring-apparatus.- A meter of the type in which the registration is dependent on the fall of pressure produced by an orifice, a Venturi tube, a Pitot tube, or the like, or on the movements of an obstruction in the pipe, is combined with means for rendering the registration independent of the density of the gas. A Venturi meter is shown, with high and low pressure pipes communicating with the inside and outside of a liquid-sealed bell actuating a cam D forming the lower stop of a rocking lever H driving a counting-wheel J. The lever H is lifted by a cam G on the shaft of a wet meter F driven by gas taken from the main and passing through a pressureregulating valve M and orifice 0. It is shown in the Specification that the quantity registered at J corresponds to the volume passing through the main, independently of the density. A cooling-grid of thin pipes may be placed at Q, and a felt filter at R. The Venturi throat may be warmed to prevent condensation of naphthalene.

Abstract: 21,811. Sutton, L. O. Oct. 3. Table games.-A game imitating baseball is played on a table with balls propelled by cues, and the movement of the " baserunner " is shown on the table by means of electric lamps. These lamps 8 are arranged below transparent strips 6 inserted in the top of the table and connecting transparent squares 7 which represent the bases. Openings 10 are provided in the table in places corresponding to those usually occupied by the players on a baseball field, and blocks 11 are placed behind the openings to direct the balls into them. Balls passing into these openings are out of play and are conveyed by channels to a receptacle 15 on the side of the table. In playing the game, a ball is projected by means of an ordinary cue at a cushion 9, and on rebounding, if it passes correctly through the diamond, it either passes into an opening 10 or travels to the boundary of the table. In the latter case, it passes over one of a number of narrow platforms 61 and falls into a channel which returns it to a receptacle 59. The platform is depressed by the weight of the ball, and closing the circuit of an electric motor allows it to rotate one or more arms. The arms close the contacts of the lamps 8 and thus the progress of the supposed runner is shown by the successive lighting of the lamps. The supposed player runs one or more bases according to the particular platform depressed by the ball.
