Title: Improved Phonogrammic Records and Method of Registering and Reproducing the same.
Inventor: EMMANUEL DRACOUMIS
Filed: 1912-04-27
Abstract: 10,067. Dragoumis, E., and Lioret, H. J. April 27, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Records; tape machines. -Tape record machines have six record bands 5 simultaneously recorded on their edges between the guide-rollers 6, 6<a>, as they are unwound from drums 1<a> on to drums 1 by a power-driven strap 2. When the records on one edge are completed, the frame 10, carrying the drums 1, 1<a> and tape records, is turned over and the other edges are recorded. The recording- stylus consists of a wide knife - edge. For reproducing, a single drum 1, and drum 1<a> are used, the reproducer being of the ordinary kind, but its stylus has a rounded end to bear upon the edge of the record. Fig. 3 shows an elevation in which a single tape record 14 is being recorded by a sound-box 15, and is being traversed by a driving-drum 11, the other driving- drum 11<a> being declutched. At the end of this recording the recorder 15 is raised, and another recorder 15<a> traversed into position for the next sound-line by a screw 17 and handle 18 and then lowered. The tape record is then reversed by clutching the driving-drum 11<a> and declutching the drum 11. Before recording on the tape, it is treated with any suitable liquid by means of a wheel 21, which receives its supply from a wick 24 contained in a trough 19. For reproduction, the damper 19 is removed and reproducing sound-boxes substituted for the recorders 15, 15<a>. Whilst recording on the surface of the tape record, a thin tape of nickel is wound with the other record to prevent adherence between the parts of the record when softened. The tape records are made of celluloid, viscose, artificial silk, collodion, cellulose, gelatine, galalite, or from coated fabrics.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Mercerising Yarns.
Inventor: HAHN PAUL
IPC: D06B7/06
Filed: 1913-06-25
Granted: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 14,702. Hahn, P. June 25. Hanks, treating; yarns, mercerizing. -- In a machine for mercerizing hanks or skeins of yarn in which the load is transmitted to the stretching and squeezing rollers by levers and cams, a stationary stop is provided so that at those periods when the yarn is uninfluenced by the load, the load is also taken off the levers and cams. In the machine shown, the hank 3 is carried by a stationary roller 2 and a movable roller 1 carried by arms 5, pivoted on an axle 19; levers 4 fixed to the bearings of the roller 1 and pivoted on the axle 19 carry an antifriction roller 6 engaging a cam 8. The axle 19 is mounted in rollers 15 disposed in horizontal guides 16, and is connected by a screwed rod 18 to a sleeve 20 rotatable in a bearing 22 carried by arms 23 fast on a shaft 24, to which is fixed a lever 25 influenced by the load 26; the stationary stop 27 is arranged below the lever 25. When the roller 6 bears upon the portion 8<a> of the cam 8, the levers 4 swing about the axle 19 and remove the roller 1 from the roller 2 until the resistance to stretching offered by the yarn is balanced by the force due to the cam; further movement of the cam then causes the levers 4 to swing about the roller 1 and the axle 19 &c. to be displaced towards the right, thus lifting the lever 25 and allowing the load 26 to act to stretch the yarn. When the roller 6 bears upon the portion 8<b> of the cam, the hank is released and the load 26 is entirely removed from the yarn and cams as the lever 25 rests upon the stop 27. The sleeve 20 carries a hand-wheel 21 by which the position of the axle 19 is adjusted. The roller 30 which squeezes the yarn against the roller 2 is carried by a lever 31 pivoted, at its upper end, to a crank 33 fixed on the shaft 24 and carrying, at its lower end, a pin 35 embraced by a fork 36 of a pivoted lever 38, 39 carrying an antifriction roller 6<a> engaging a cam 9. The arm 38 of the lever is weighted, and when the lever 25 is resting on the pin 27 and the roller 6<a> is bearing on the part 9<a> of the cam, the arm 38 moves the squeezing-roller away from the roller 1. When the roller 6<a> bears upon the part 9<a> of the cam, the squeezing - roller is pressed against the yarn on the roller 2 and the lever 31 raised; owing to the connexion 33 the arms 23 are displaced to the right and the load 26 is partly transmitted to the squeezing- roller. Specification 22,235/02 is referred to.
