Title: Improvements in Moulds for Lay-figure and like Stands.
Inventor: MCNABB PETER MALCOLM
IPC: A41H5/00
Filed: 1910-11-01
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 25,414. McNabb, P. M. Nov. 1. Moulds.-Relates to moulds for lay-figures of the type comprising sections of a material which becomes plastic when warmed, and may be then drawn into shape and detachably connected, and consists in providing a covering of flexible fabric to prevent the hardening-material from breaking or falling apart. The hardening- material employed, preferably dentists' modelling-compound, is encased in a close fitting cover of a loosely-woven fabric. The sections in a plastic state are applied to the figure and drawn in by clips 1. A separate tabbed throat-section 4 may be fitted after the other parts are properly adjusted. The back may be formed by two sections, or by a single section B<3> slitted up to about the level of the shoulders as shown at 2. The mould, when conformed to the figure of the subject, is removed, preferably by releasing the slips at the side seams, and then reconstituted by replacing the clips in their former positions.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Extraction of Compounds of Vanadium , Molybdenum, Tungsten and similar Metals.
Inventor: PERRET AUGUSTE HENRI
IPC: C01G31/00

Granted: 1911-11-17
Abstract: 26,777. Perret, A. H. Nov. 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Ammonium vanadate, tungstate, tantalate, niobate, and molybdate.-Consists of a process for extracting from material products, slags, &c. compounds of vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum, or other similar rare metals such as niobium or tantalum, the description relating particularly to vanadium. The substance is fused with an alkali or alkali carbonate, and an oxidizing-agent such as sodium nitrate is added instead of the carbon usually used with carbonate. The melt is poured into water and lixiviated, about half of the vanadium passing into solution at once. The residue is crushed and lixiviated. The solution obtained is concentrated by using it instead of water for treating more fused material, and the vanadium is recovered by known processes, such as by precipitating as ammonium vanadate by means of ammonium chloride.

Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 28,403. Siegel, H. Dec. 6. Feed-water, heating.-Relates to economizers comprising groups of pipes, each group having a distributing and a collecting chamber, and consists in providing an automatic air-release valve common to the upper collecting-chambers. The pipes are also provided with regulable sections or resistances for the purpose of obtaining an equal flow of water through all the pipes. In the chamber a, through which combustion gases pass, are situated the water-pipes b. The water enters at b, the first distributing-box c, flows up to a collector e, thence passes to the second distributor, and so on throughout the series to the outlet i. To facilitate removal of sludge from the distributors c, they are provided with inclined bases p which slope down to the sludge-cocks q. The automatic release valve t, as shown in Fig. 4, is placed in a casing g communicating by pipes m, n, with the top of each collector e. The valve-rod u is attached to a diaphragm s at the bottom of vessel v, which is filled with water. When sufficient air accumulates, the diaphragm s is pressed down, and the valve t is opened to allow the air to escape. In order that the flow of water through the pipes shall be equal, cup-shaped fittings w, as shown in Fig. 7, are used, in which rings x having different-sized apertures are placed, the apertures in the front pipes being smaller than those in the rear ones.

Abstract: 28,552. Paillet, J. L., Ducretet, F., and Roger, E. Dec. 8. Electricity, discharging from paper, fabrics, fibres, and the like.-The electricity generated in textiles, paper, or fibres during manufacture is discharged by subjecting the materials to the action of high-frequency currents generated by an Oudin resonator apparatus. The resonator r, supplied by an alternator l, transformer 3, spark-gap n, and condenser o, is earthed at one end P and connected at the other end H to wires e, which are distributed opposite to the textile or other material. Tuning is effected by an adjustable inductance l<1>, the resonance being indicated by a hot-wire meter a in the earth connexion. Safety discharge paths to earth SO<1>, SO<2> are connected to the transformer. The earth connexion P may be made to the slider c. In an alternative arrangement, the central turns of the resonator are supplied with energy and the wires care divided into two groups, one connected to each end of the resonator. The wires e carry small' discharge brushes spaced along them at intervals.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Stemming Tobacco.
Inventor: ECKART GEORGE FREDERICK
IPC: A24B5/06
Filed: 1912-03-26
Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 7356. Eckart, G. F. March 26. Tobacco leaf is stripped in successive steps. the stem being drawn through the cutting- aperture formed by a pair of disks, for a determined distance, and then conveyed to another pair of disks, where a like process is repeated except that the stem is drawn through until it breaks away from the lamina of the leaf. The leaves are fed forwards on a table 95, Fig. 10, into a pocket 92, an adjustable side gauge-plate 97 determining the position of the stems, and are then carried by a belt 90 having equidistant pins 91, which lift them from the pocket 92 and deposit them into a pocket formed between the framework and a gate 99, which is rocked to allow a leaf to pass at intervals. The leaf is then fed forwards between the belts 106, 13, and the stem enters the notches 14 on the stripper disks 8, the lamina of the leaf being gripped by concave pieces 28, Fig. 19, mounted on the arms on the axis of the stripper disks. The disks 8 are mounted loosely on a collar or disk by means of pins 19, Fig. 21, and springs 25 so that they are capable of limited relative radial and rotary movement for adjustment purposes. The stem projecting through the aperture formed by the notches of the upper pair or disks 8 is gripped by the gripper means and is drawn through a definite distance so that the lamina is sheared away for that distance. The gripper means comprise a sleeve 29, Fig. 13, mounted to rock on trunnions 30 and acting as a guide to a reciprocating plunger 35, the forward end of which carries a pair of pivoted arms with stemengaging means or grips 54. The sleeve carries a cam 44 having mounted thereon cam-grooves 48, 49, 50, of the shape shown, so that the grippers, which carry rolls engaging in these grooves, on the commencement of their stroke are open, then close on the stem, and finally open to release it, the sleeve being rocked so that the grippers follow the stem as it is carried downwards by the stripper disks. The partially stripped leaf is then presented to the second pair of disks 9, which are mounted in a vertical plane a little in advance of the preceding pair of disks so that the part of the stems which have been stripped are engaged. The projecting stem is gripped by two pairs of spring-controlled rollers drawn through the stripper disks until it breaks away from the lamina, which then drops on to the belt 117, Fig. 10, and is delivered to a suitable receptacle. Any unstripped leaves which escape the stripper disks are collected by means of the belt 115, and the stems are fed by the pairs of rollers, which draw them from the lamina, to a belt, which delivers them to a stem-clearing device. The leaf-feeding arrangements are duplicated as shown in Fig. 10.

Abstract: 18,586. F÷ttinger, H. Aug. 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Dynamometers, rotary-absorption.-The size and magnitude of the torque absorbed by a dynamometer are varied by the provision of adjustable baffle plates or surfaces 6, adjacent to the admission-inlet of the rotor 2, or at any point in the path of the water contained within the stator 3. Adjustment of the baflle-plates from the exterior of the apparatus by the rotation of rings 10 engaging the outer extremities of the pivoted baffles, or by any other means, varies the momentum and the direction of flow of the liquid entering the rotor ; the apparatus may thus be used with the shaft 1 rotated in either direction, and by a suitable adjustment the running of the rotor may be rendered noiseless. The baffle-plates may consist of a solid portion rigidly attached to the stator and a resilient portion. The reactive torque produced in the stator is balanced as usual by means of an arm and a connected spring-balance.
