Inventor: QUAMBUSCH HERMANN JULIUS
Filed: 1905-11-18
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 23,842. Quambusch, H. J. Nov. 18. Braiding-machines.-A beat-up is effected by spring needles arranged in two radial intercalating sets, which take up the crossings alternately. The needles a, b of the two sets are carried by supports d on a stationary plate e. The needles are bent as shown to slide on guides g of vulcanite &c., capable of fixed adjustment to limit the stroke of the needles. The needles are thrown forward by springs i acting on rods k linked to the rods h connected to the needles. The needles are returned by the driving-mechanism ; to effect this the rods h are fixed in bell-cranks from the lower ends of which depend rods n passing through holes in a driving-plate m. The latter is reciprocated by an eccentric o and communicates its motion by the stops n<1>, during successive halfstrokes to the needles a, b respectively. The latter are lifted into engagement with the crossings of the threads r by reciprocating holders q<1> through which they pass. The holders q<1> carry members q for guiding the free ends of the needles a, b and they are divided into two sets mounted on the disks s, t respectively, which are reciprocated by cams u on the eccentric shaft in unison with the movement of the needles.

Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 23,889. Cooper, E. H., [executor of Newton H. E.], (Klewe & Co.). Nov. 20. Fleating by electricity.-The current o f an electrically - heated furnace, stove, or other apparatus is automatically cut off at any desired temperature by the melting of a fusible wire or strip which carries the current and is exposed to the heat of the furnace. The wire f, which is of such cross-section that it is not heated by the passage of the current, may be held between the slit ends of two platinum or other metal wires d, e attached to a plug a of fire-clay, porcelain, or the like. The ends of the wires d, e may be provided with intermediate pieces j, k, as shown in Fig. 5, between which the strip f is held. The wire on melting is thus prevented from adhering to the metal wires d, e, and may be removed with the intermediate pieces j, k. A new wire with its intermediate pieces is then inserted in place of the melted wire. The intermediate pieces may be in the form of tubes which are introduced into split sleeve-shaped extensions of the wires d, e. Fig. 6<a> shows a special form of plug for facilitating the replacement of the intermediate pieces. A body part a of chamotte is provided with two holes through which platinum-iridium wires pass. The fusible wire is held between two L-shaped pieces j, k which pass through rings h<1>, i at the ends of the wire d, e and are pressed against the body part by a spring n. This spring is arranged between a handle piece to which the wires d, e are attached and the body piece a. Fig. 9 shows a muffle in which the fusing wire passes entirely through the furnace and is connected to terminals d', d<2> outside the muffle. Fig. 10 shows a muffle provided with a dome or tower through which passes a fusing wire attached to terminals d', d' outside the dome.

Inventor: CLEMM ADOLF
Filed: 1906-03-06
Granted: 1907-03-06
Abstract: 5478. Clemm, A. March 6. Alumina ; sodium sulphide and thiosulphate.- Bauxite or other aluminiferous material is calcined with sodium sulphate and carbon, the sulphate and carbon being used in quantities which are multiples of those theoretically necessary to form the aluminate. The calcined mass is lixiviated with water, and the solution obtained is heated either with sulphurous acid gas, when aluminium hydroxide is precipitated and a solution of sodium thiosulphate is formed which can be crystallized, or with hydrogen sulphide, which precipitates the alumina, leaving a solution of sodium sulphide or sulphydrate ; this solution may be used in the manufacture of dyes, or sodium sulphide may be extracted from it, or it may be converted into thiosulphate by passing in sulphurous acid. The residue remaining after lixiviation is, after addition of lime if desired, oxidized by, say, exposure or by blowing in air and then lixiviated, when it yields a further quantity of thiosulphate. Specifications No. 2866, A.D. 1870, and No. 4618, A.D. 1877, are referred to.
