Title: Improvements in or relating to Self Acting Mules.
Inventor: MAMLOFF MICHAEL
IPC: D01H3/12
Filed: 1910-11-10
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 26,169. Mamloff, M. Nov. 10. Mules. - In order to obtain closely - wound cops, the tension on the threads is increased during the running-in of the carriage by gradually raising the counterfaller by means actuated from the shaft that draws in the carriage. A drum 2, Fig. 1, is mounted upon the shaft 1 that actuates the carriage. One end of a cord 3 is attached to the drum and the other end is secured to a pulley 5, Fig. 2, on the carriage. The diameter of the drum 2 is such that the cord 3 is drawn up rather more quickly than the carriage, and the pulley 5 is thus given a gradual movement through a fixed angle. This movement is transmitted to the counterfaller 7, preferably through a spring 8, the ends of which are attached to a lever or segment 10 on the shaft 12 of the pulley 5, and to an arm 9 on the counterfaller shaft 6. The segment may be eccentrically mounted, and be adjustable along an arm 11, and the spring may be adjustably connected to the arm 9. The counterfaller 7 and winding faller 16 are locked together during the spinning operation by the engagement of projections 13, 14. Either the drum 2 or the pulley 5 may be connected to their respective shafts by a ratchet arrangement to allow the length of the cord 3 to be adjusted. The pulley 5 may be replaced by an arm or segment piece.

Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Promoting Combustion of Fuel in Furnaces.
Inventor: BARKER GEORGE
IPC: F23L9/00
Filed: 1911-01-03
Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 118. Barker, G., [International Manufacturing Co.]. Jan. 3. Blast apparatus; air supply, heating.-A supply of air for primary combustion is drawn through the fuel on the grate by introducing into the furnace chamber in the general direction of the draught and with considerable force a blast of hot air. The apparatus shown comprises internally-ribbed boxes G arranged at the sides of the grate, open at one end to the ash-pit communicating at the other with nozzle portions J, through radially-ribbed vertical conduits H. The nozzles J are preferably flattened and formed with interdigitated ribs 15. The draught through the heaters is induced by steam-jets k. The ribs of the heater G and nozzles J are of such length and disposition as to leave relatively unobstructed mixing-chambers at 16 and 17. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 9218/99, 11,297/08, and 4426/09.

Abstract: 3515. Kaliwerke Aschersleben. Feb. 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Impregnating-compositions. - A solid body, containing oils, fats, resins, tars, &c. capable of forming an emulsion with water, is produced by emulsifying the oil &c., as by means of glue, and then adding to the emulsion the requisite quantity of a chemical compound capable of entering into combination with the water present, for example to form crystals in which the water is present as water of crystallization. Calcium, magnesium, or zinc chlorides, or double salts such as tachydrite, are suitable for this purpose. The emulsions obtained from these substances may be used for impregnating wood, a composition derived bv treating a tar - oil emulsion with zinc chloride being particularly suitable for this purpose.

Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 4409. Feuillette, E. Feb. 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Retting. - Flax, or hemp, &c. is packed in cages or balloons 14 and immersed in running water in a long rectangular basin or tank 1. The water is supplied at the rate of 200 litres per 24 hours for 100 kgs. of material, and flows from a mixing - vat 2 through a sluice valve 13, a constant level being maintained by a dam or weir 4. Every two days. the balloons are withdrawn from the water, inverted, and replaced in the tank 1 two or three compartments further up stream. The temperature of the water is maintained constant by steam-pipes 28. Materials falling to the bottom of the tank are conveyed to the well 22 by a screw 19, and are discharged by means of a suction pump. The water is supplied through the main inlet pipe 7 to a tank 9 and is delivered to the mixing-vat 2 from a constant level by pipes 3. When emptying the apparatus. sufficient water charged with ferments to begin the treatment again is preserved in the mixing- vat 2. A travelling crane 39 is used for lifting and inverting the balloons 14, and also for operating the sluices 13, which are arranged in pairs. The tank is provided with a cover, and fermentation gases are carried away through a suction pipe.

Abstract: 27,812. Magelssen, N. Dec. 3. Making and finishing building-blocks; waterproofing blocks; compound blocks.-Insulating building-blocks are formed by uniting thin plates of a plastic fire-proof material to form casings, which are filled with insulating material, such as peat, peat waste, saw-dust, kieselguhr, cork waste, &c., and are completed by cementing on cover plates, using as cement the same material composing the casing. The composition for the plates consists of asbestos and waterglass, with or without the addition of carbonate of lime and acid substances such as acetic or phosphoric acid, or sulphates of iron, aluminium, &c., or acid phosphate of ammonia, a suitable proportion by weight being 1 part of asbestos, 1 part of chalk, 50 parts of water-glass, and sufficient acid &c. to form a pasty mass.

The plates may be corrugated, and either the plates or the casings dipped into tar, asphalt, pitch, mineral or fatty oils, &c. for waterproofing. The blocks may be formed by first filling wood &c. cases with the insulating material, and coating the cases with the fireproof material, in the form of plates or otherwise.
