Patent GB-190904576-A (GB)
Title: A Carbonic Acid Engine in which the Carbonic Acid is Heated by Electricity.
Inventor: HORST LUDWIG
Filed: 1909-02-24
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 4576. Horst, L. Feb. 24. Vapour-engines. -In a carbonicacid engine, the gas is heated by electricity obtained from a dynamo driven by the engine, the heater being fitted with a regulating- valve. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement in which the engine 1 is supplied with gas from a cylinder 4 and drives a dynamo 11. The electric circuit comprises accumulators 12 and a superheater 7, through which the gas passes, under the control of a valve 5 actuated by an eccentric rod 6, to the distributing-valve chest 2 of the engine. Referring to Fig. 2, the regulating-valve 5 for the heating-chamber 7 is actuated by a cam 17, which engages an arm 18 adjustably secured on the valve spindle. The gas passes from the chamber 14, through the valve 5, to a chamber 15, from which it passes through a coiled tube 21 to the main distributing-valve chest 2. The heating-coil may be arranged inside or outside the coil 21. In a modification, the gas is heated by passing between the outer wall 7 and an inner tubular chamber heated by the coil; in this modification the heating-coil may be replaced by an electric arc.
Patent GB-190907932-A (GB)
Title: Photographic Powdering Process.
Inventor: RIEDER JOSEF
IPC: G03F7/28
Filed: 1909-04-02
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 7932. Rieder, J. May 23, 1908, [Convention date]. Plates, films, and papers; colour photography; enamels; photo-mechanical printing-surfaces.- In a photographic powdering process, a sensitized film is used composed of asphalt and organic substances which impart adhesiveness to the asphalt, such as india-rubber, resins, or turpentine, which dry sticky. The action of light is to remove the stickiness, thus enabling pictures to be obtained by subsequent powdering. The process is applicable for producing ordinary or coloured and tri - colour photographs, or enamels. The asphalt extracted by ether is used, which is soluble in benzine, in which india-rubber also is soluble. Pulverised Syrian asphalt is dissolved in benzine, and the filtrate mixed with a benzine solution of rubber. The solution is coated upon the paper or other surface to be exposed. India-rubber can be partly replaced by gutta-percha, Venetian turpentine, or resins and resinous bodies such as dammar resin, colophony, or mastic. The plate after exposure is powdered with colours such as ultramarine, schweinfurt green, and chrome yellow. Organic colours may be used such as methyl violet and napthol-green, which combine with the film and become dissolved in the unexposed parts. To obtain a visible image before colouring, the support is first prepared with a film containing tar colouring - matters which bleach out on exposure, or tar colouring-matters soluble in fat may be combined with the sensitive film. By such means different parts of the pictures can be coloured with different coloured powders. For three-colour and like photography, three monochromes from the three component negatives are printed and superposed, or alternatively the support may be re-sensitized and the componet negatives copied successively. For enamels, enamel colours are used in powdering. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), includes also an application of the invention for producing a printing-plate by etching. A powder such as colophony, which is capable of being readily melted, is used after exposure and rests very lightly on the film. The whole of the surface of the picture thus obtained is exposed to light and transferred to a stone or metal plate by hot pressing for the purpose of producing a printing-plate by etching. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 29,362. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Dec. 15. Lasting.-Relates to pulling-over and combined pulling-over and lasting machines of the type described in Specifications 7005/00, 12,304/03, 11,222/08, and 14,154/09, and consists in the provision of an improved sectional toe-gripper, of side-grippers constructed and arranged to follow a longitudinal movement of the toegripper, and of improved resting-means for the last bottom. The lower end of the toe-gripper bar 10, Fig. 3, is made cylindrical, and carries a rotatable block 22 in which are housed a spring 24, and two rotatable stems 25 each carrying a fixed gripper jaw 26, Figs. 3 and 4. The movable gripper jaw 28 is pivoted at 29 to the fixed jaw, and is formed with an eye to embrace the stem 25 and to interlock with a notched extension of a sleeve 30. These sleeves are recessed to receive a disk 32, through which passes a T-shaped head 33 on the lower end of the bar 10. A hand-bar 35 is secured to the block 22; and pins 21, carried or engaged by a spring plate 23, project through the block into grooves in the stems 25, to prevent the stems from moving too freely. The arrangement permits the gripper sections to adjust themselves independently round their own axes, while bv rotating the block 22 they can be adjusted simultaneously about a common axis. Thetoe-gripper lever 15, Fig. 2, in addition to a forward extension which enables the toe-gripper to be raised manually, is provided with a latch device 16, 17 for opening the jaws independently of the automatic operation of the machine. The sidegrippers are of known construction, and are guided with the narrow portion of their blocks 40, Fig. 2, in relatively ' wide ways in the machine frame so that thev can move with the upper when the latter is adjusted round the toe of the last by the toe-gripper. The front and rear faces of the blocks 40 may be formed with inclines 42 which seat in the machine head' these inclines guide the side-grippers, when released, to the same normal gripping position longitudinally of the shoe. The toe-grippers and one or both side-grippers may be connected by freely-movable pins 43, 44 to permit relative angular movement of the toe and side grippers. In addition to the ordinary sole rest 4, the machine is fitted with a depressor 41 adapted to engage the sole of the last over the instep. This depressor is detachably connected to an automatically-driven link 152, so that it can be moved automatically, or by means of a handlever, to rock the rear part of the last downwards so as to draw the upper into the hollow portion of the last over the ball. The machine is adapted to be used with the lasting and tacking mechanisms described in Specifications 28,393/10 and 28,394/10.
