Title: Improvements in Machines for Forming Twisted Wire Strands.
IPC: D07B3/04
Filed: 1909-03-15
Granted: 1910-03-15
Abstract: 6118. Firth Co., and Birrell, D. S. March 15. Machines for making. - In a machine for twisting together a number of wires into a strand, the axes of the bobbins e, Figs. 1 and 3, are arranged at right-angles to and intersecting the axes of the loop frame, which is made of a pair of parallel channel-bars a secured to end plates b, b<1> carrying spindles c journaled in the machine frame; the whole arrangement is thus always balanced. The bobbins are carried on spindles f secured to the frame by cotters k or the like, and the wire x from each of the bobbins e passes through an outrigged guide h carried by the bars a and through one of a series of holes in the plate b<1>, and they are twisted together around a central wire which passes from a bobbin at the end of the frame through the spindle c. The wires and twisted strand are received by the usual drawing-off drum. The flange of the bars a, which are tied together by bars i, project outwards. The bobbins are braked as usual by springs and cords passed over pulleys l.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrolytic Cells.
IPC: H01G9/022
Filed: 1909-03-22
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 6872. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 22. Condensers. - An electrolyte for a cell with aluminium electrodes, applicable as a condenser, consists of a solution of a borate and a tartrate, preferably the ammonium salts, to which glycerine may be added. A mixture of, for example, six parts of boric acid and one part of tartaric acid is neutralized by an alkali such as ammonium, potassium, or sodium hydroxide. Tetraborate may be employed instead of normal borate. About ten per cent of glycerine may be added to the electrolyte; this causes the solution to become acid, and ammonium hydroxide may be added to effect neutralization.

Abstract: 17,518. Auster, A. C. July 28. Wind-guards. Wind and weather screens for protecting the front or rear seats of motor and other vehicles are provided with hinged sidewings, the invention being an improvement upon that described in Specification 5319/07. The main screens may be fixed or bodily movable; in the latter case they may be carried by folding supports as described in Specification 2898/09, so as to be movable backwards or forwards. A flexible apron is fixed to the lower parts of the main and side screens, and closes the open space beneath the screen. The sidewings d are adapted to be swung outwards in line with the main screen a, thus increasing its effective area, or inwards quite flat against the main screen, or they may occupy any intermediate position, the side parts j' of the apron moving with the wings. In one method of adjustable connection, Fig. 6, the side-wing d is hinged to the main screen a by self-locking hinges, comprising a serrated disk e<3> carrying a pin e<2>, which passes through a serrated disk c carried by the main screen, the two disks being held in contact by a spring e<1>. When the wing d is moved, the disks ride over each other and the spring is compressed. The serrated disks may be replaced by friction joints comprising spring-pressed cones on the main screen, which engage with coned seatings carried by the wings. Slotted quadrant stays m, Fig. 9, and clamping-pins m<1> may also be used to fix the wings in position.

Abstract: 22,420. Feil, C. J. B. Paisseau-. Dec. 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Coating-compositions. - A pearly coating is prepared from " essence d'orient"' by freeing from all traces of the ammoniacal liquor the scales of bleak or other fish contained therein by means of successive washings in volatile liquids such as alcohol, ether, acetone, &c. An anhydrous paste or coating, the lustre of which is unaffected by moisture, is then obtained by mixing the scales in a solution of celluloid or collodion in amyl acetate, of india-rubber in sulphide of carbon, or of wax in benzine, the mixture being effected by kneading. The successive treatments with dehydrating-liquids may be replaced by a rapid evaporation by means of heat. The coating-material may be applied to fabrics.

Title: Improvements in and relating to India-rubber and like Stamps.
Inventor: BOORNE WILLIAM HANSON
IPC: G03F7/04
Filed: 1910-04-22
Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 9847. Boorne, W. H. April 22. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces.-Relates to the process of making india-rubber stamps described in Specification 7421/09. In making the pigmented gelatine paper, the gelatinecoated paper is kept at an even temperature of about 60‹ F., and is dried in a current of air free from dust both before and after immersion in the bichromate bath. The bichromated-gelatine glass plate used is dried and afterwards exposed to produce an insoluble coating of gelatine on the plate. The negative, which is photographed through a screen of about 120 lines per inch, is printed upon the gelatine paper, so that the exposure does not penetrate completely through to the paper. The paper is then washed in water at about 60‹ F., and the glass plate soaked in a bath at the same temperature. The gelatine surfaces are then pressed together and transferred to a bath of water at 105‹ F., which is gradually raised to 110‹ F. The paper is stripped off, leaving the exposed pigmented film adhering to the gelatine on the glass plate. Warm water at about 110‹ F. is then gently applied as by laving until the relief is developed. The plate is then washed in cold water, and hardened in a bath of chrome alum or preferably formaldehyde. The hardened film is dried in a current of air, or by dipping in alcohol, and is then coated with a waterproof varnish consisting of two part of wax to one part of stearine dissolved in ether. The varnished surface is then polished with a soft cloth moistened with olive oil. The plate is then soaked in water at 70‹ F., whereby a high relief is obtained, from which the plaster-ofparis mould is obtained.
