Title: Improved Process for Tanning Hides and Skins.
Inventor: WEINSCHENK ARTHUR
Filed: 1907-02-25
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 4605. Weinschenk, A. Feb. 25. Tanning.-Leather is tanned by treatment with hydroxyl derivatives of naphthalene and aldehydes, used either separately or together. According to one process, the skins are first left in a “ per cent to ¢ per cent solution of formaldehyde, or an equivalent solution of aceto-aldehyde, resorcyl, pyrogallol, or similar aldehyde, the excess of which is removed by washing. They are then agitated in alpha- or beta-naphthol suspended in water. By a second method, the skins are first agitated in a solution of naphthol, to which formaldehyde or other aldehyde solution is subsequently added in stated proportions either at once or in small quantities. A third process for quick tanning consists in slowly adding to the water in which the skins are agitated, a paste formed of naphthol and formaldehyde solution.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Regulation of Electric Motor Generator Sets
Filed: 1907-02-27
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 4833. British Thomson-Houston Go., and Garton, E. Feb. 27. Dynamos and motors combined as transformers ; dynamos, regulating ; motors, controlling.-In motorgenerator sets, the fields of the motor and generator are varied in iuverse relation by means of automatic regulators, such as that described in Specification No. 4276, A.D. 1899, in which a regulating- resistance is automatically cut in or out of the field-magnet circuit of a dynamo. An electromagnetically controlled vibrating member k, Fig. 1, carries a contact o adapted to engage with the contact l or a contact m and so short-circuit the resistance h in series with the field g of the generator b, or the resistance f in series with the field e of the motor a In place of a single regulator, two regulators may be used controlled by electromagnets n, p, Fig 2. A resistance q cuts down the current supplied to the electro-magnets n, p. The rate of vibration of the member k, Fig. 1, or of the members o, l' Fig. 2, is dependent upon the rate of vibration of the switch r, which is dependent upon the variations in the voltage in the mains s.

Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 9650. Lake, H. W., [Schnek, H.]. April 25. Shuttleless looms; weft, supplying; weft-carriers. -A device for withdrawing single hairs, threads, or the like from a receptacle 10, and for supplying them to the weft-carrier for insertion into the shed, comprises a needle 4 having a rigid jaw 1 and a movable jaw 2, which is pivoted in a slot in the jaw 1 and is pressed against it by a spring 5. The gripper is closed when inserted into the receptacle 10, in which the hairs are held loosely by a weight 11. The jaw 2 is raised by the hairs or by the fixed part 13 of the receptacle, and several hairs enter between the jaws. When the gripper is withdrawn, only the hair engaged by notches 6, 7 in the jaws is retained, the others being forced out by the pressure of the jaw 2 against the jaw 1. The withdrawn hair is released by a stop 9 acting upon an arm 8 of the jaw 2. The device may be arranged on the weft-carrier. In modified forms of the device, the notch is formed in the upper or the lower jaw only, the spring 5 may act upon the arm 8, the arm 8 may be dispensed with and the spring 5 be formed with a bent part to be acted upon by the stop 9, the pivot of the jaw 2 may be moved farther away from the front end of the device, the jaw 2 may constitute a spring so that no separate spring is required, and the lower part of the jaw 2 may be formed with an inclined edge to be acted upon by the stop 9.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Drying Earthenware and the like.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1907-10-08
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 22,193. Lake, W. E., [Erste Deutsche Blumentopjwerke Ges.]. Oct. 8. Pottery, drying. Earthenware articles are dried on trucks each having a canvas or sheet-metal screen i at one end, so that the drying is rendered more uniform by the consequent division of the upper part of the channel through which the trucks pass. This channel is closed at the ends by doors b, c, the trucks entering at the door b. Hot air enters at a port d at the outlet end, and the hotter portions rise in each of the compartments formed by the screens in turn, drying the articles placed on superposed trays or shelves g on the trucks. The colder and moister air thus formed falls to the bottom and is drawn through an outlet e by a ventilator in the chimney f. The drying may be regulated by altering the lengths of the screens.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Wire Belts for Conveyor and the like Purposes.
Inventor: SUTCLIFFE RICHARD
Filed: 1907-12-27
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 28,455. Sutcliffe, R. Dec. 27. Conveyers.-Wire belting for conveying purposes is constructed in such a manner as to prevent dust and small particles from falling through the belting. A string, ribbon, tape, &c. g is passed through the interior of the coils a of the wire, and the whole is treated with a bath or solution of india-rubber, gutta-percha, tar, or like elastic material. The cores g hold the solution to a sufficient extent to make the band approximately dust-proof, and at the same time, the solution holds the cores in place even when in part worn away. The cores may be cut to length and secured to the edges of the belt, or may be threaded continuously through the coils. Fig. 1 shows a method of drawing a cord through the coils of wire by a hooked rod h. The ends of the loops of the cord g may be locked by passing through them a second cord k, which may either rest at the edge of the belt or be drawn to the centre. A long needle or a wire bent double may be used instead of the hooked rod h.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Coin Freed Locks and Latches.
Inventor: MOORE ALFRED
Filed: 1908-02-10
Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 2891. Moore, A. Feb 10. Indicators, ' engaged.'-In coin-freed locks for the doors of lavatories the rotation of the handle spindle i to open the door from without also moves the indicator, which is carried by a lever e, to show ' engaged' through a window c, a curved arm n' on the handle spindle operating a slide g which engages one end of the lever. Simultaneously a projection h on the slide depresses a weighted lever the nose 7 of which finally passes up behind the projection so as to prevent a spring-controlled lever returning the indicator to 'vacant.' The rotation of the arm n<1> also rocks a spring-controlled lever 4, thereby moving a rod 2, which works in a guide 3<1> at one extremity of the lever 4 and in a fixed guide 3, from beneath the weighted end of the lever 8. When, however, the door is opened from within, the arm n' being inoperative; the rod 2 is situated directly beneath the lever 8 and raises that lever allowing the indicator to be returned to ' vacant.' The rod 2 is raised by a bell-crank lever z which is pivoted to the casing at land connected to a spring-pressed slide w having a runner v which normally engages the jamb g<1> when the door is closed. In an alternative arrangement the indicator is carried by the slide g.
