Title: Process for Producing fast Colors upon any kind of Leather or other Material by the Employment of Titanium Salts combined with Tanning Material or with Mordant Colors.
Inventor: DREHER CARL
Filed: 1901-05-08
Granted: 1902-05-01
Abstract: 9556. Dreher, C. May 8. Tanning.-Relates to processes for producing fast colours upon any kind of leather by the employment of titanium salts in conjunction with tanning- materials or with mordant colours. The dyeing process may be carried out simultaneously with the tanning process or subsequently thereto. A yellowcoloured leather may, for example, be obtained by treating the untanned hide alternately with the ordinary tanning-agents and with titanium salts. Another method, whereby fast colours ranging from yellow through brown and olive green to black may be obtained, consists in tanning the leather by the use of wood dyestuffs, such as logwood, fustic, and the like, or mixtures of wood dyestuffs with ordinary tanning agents, and subsequently developing the colour with titanium salts ; or the leather may be treated alternately with the wood dyestuffs and the titanium salts.

The lower ends of the tubes b open into the box a, while the upper ends open into a pair of triangularly-shaped boxes f, the vertical walls of which enclose a space a<1> leading to the chimney i. An opening in each vertical wall, at opposite ends thereof, leads to one of two spaces g, from which the air, heated by passing up the tubes' b in contact with the fire, escapes to the apartment. Hinged at m to the top of the stove are hollow casings d, having each an opening to register with the end openings in the vertical walls, and openings h to allow of the escape of the heated air. These casings may be raised for charging fresh fuel (preferably wood or charcoal), or to reduce the draught by allowing the top of the fuel chamber to communicate with the atmosphere. The boxes f support a hood l, which surrounds the stove nearly as far down as the bottom of the fuel container. The hood is provided with slots n to enable it to be removed past the rings o, which are provided for enabling the stove to be moved The Provisional Specification states that the tubes b are enclosed partially in a light casing of some perforated material, that there are two fuelcharging receptacles of special shape, that the heated air and gases from the fire both go to the boxes f, and that the fire may be either of a segmental or annular shape.

Abstract: 12,850. Hopkins, C. E., and Wesel F. June 8. Milling.-Relates to stereotype casting and trimming apparatus. The cast plate is carried by a pivoted frame D' to a cylinder G, journalled in pivoted frames G' on supporting-frames G', and as the frame D' is moved over it engages rollers o on the frames G' and lifts the cylinder to meet the plate. Pins p<8> on the cylinder engage recesses in the back of the plate. The downward movement of the frames G<1> with the cylinder is limited by stop screws o' engaging the fixed frames G<2>. The frames G' are balanced or cushioned by spring rods o<3>. As the cylinder moves down with the plate upon it, a mutilated worm gear w<4> on its shaft S comes into gear with a driven worm w<3>, and the cylinder is driven through the greater part of a revolution, until the gap in the teeth of the gear-wheel w<4> comes opposite the worm. When the cylinder is next lifted, it is rotated a short distance by a curved arm on the framing, so that, when lowered, its wheel w<4> is again engaged with the worm. On a shaft S', driven by a belt &c., are two bevelled cutters which cut off the tail ends of the plate, and at the same time bevel it, as the cylinder G makes its rotation, The plate is held on the cylinder by a flexible steel bind G<5>, fixed to the cylinder at G<6>. The band is lined with felt or leather, and is held against the plate by rollers x. The worm w<3> is driven by worm gearing from the cutter shaft S<1>. The slugs cut off by the cutters slide down over spring guards G<4>. The cylinder is prevented from turning when the plate is placed on it, by a locking-pawl and pin, and the pawl is moved to release the cylinder when the latter returns to its lowest position.
