Filed: 1910-03-09
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 5854. Cockerill, T. March 9. India-rubber, preparation of.-Relates to apparatus for electrolytically depositing rubber from latex, of the type described in Specification 21,441/08, and consists in providing a travelling cathode, and in detail improvements. Fig. 1 is a side view of the apparatus, and Fig. 2 is a cross-section taken on the line x-x of Fig. 1. The anode A consists of metallic plates A<1> hinged together, with packing-pieces at the joints, and runs on rails F. The cathode D also consists of metal plates D' and runs around wheels E, and on rails K. The cathode is kept at a uniform distance from the anode by transverse rubber strips H, or it may rest on the top of, or projections from the sides of, the deckle straps J. The strips H also serve as dams to prevent the latex from flowing through the apparatus. The deckle straps J, which may be attached to the cathode, are pressed on to the anode, for example by rollers K<2>, to prevent lateral leakage of the latex. At the beginning of the operation, the cathode may be held at an increased distance from the anode, projections being provided on the cathode to ensure contact with the latex. On arriving at the point z, the liquid flows into a receptacle where it may be treated to recover any remaining rubber, and the rubber sheet, after exposure to air to reduce tackiness, passes on to the consolidating-rollers L, whence it passes to a washing-apparatus M, one of the rollers of which may carry a stamp for marking the sheet. The sheet is then dried for instance in the apparatus described in Specification 5855/10. The electrodes may be washed and coated with a soap solution by means of apparatus at P, Q.

Abstract: 11,878. Lane, H. Jan. 29. Hydrogen.-In the hydrogen-producing apparatus described in Specification 17,591/09, wherein iron, iron oxide, or other suitable oxidizable metal or material, is alternately reduced with a combustible gas and oxidized by steam, the reducing-gas, such as water-gas, is purified by compressing it and then passing it through a scrubber filled with coke or other neutral material on to which a stream of cold water is delivered. Washed water-gas is passed into a regulating gas-holder C, which controls a compressor D to which the gas next travels. The upper part of the gas-holder C is connected to a valve h so that, when the volume of gas in the holder decreases too much, the valve is closed. The gas, compressed to several atmospheres, passes to the scrubber E, wherein chemical impurities such as sulphurous acid, sulphuretted hydrogen, carbon dioxide, &c., together with most of the moisture, are removed. The purified gas passes on to another gas-holder F for use through a relief valve e<1> or through a motor which utilizes the expansive energy of the gas. Specification 10,356/03 is also referred to.

Title: Process for Producing Multi-coloured Effects in Spun and Woven Goods.
Inventor: BECKE MAX
Filed: 1910-07-01
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 15,819. Becke, M. Aug. 11, 1909, [Convention date]. Multi-colour dyeing.-Multi-colour effects are produced in spun or woven goods by precipitating manganese oxides on dyed or undyed vegetable fibre, then working the treated fibre together with untreated vegetable or animal fibre into spun or woven goods, dyeing the whole with suitable dyes, and then treating the goods with suitable agents to develop the oxidizing- action of the manganese oxides; the last-mentioned dyes are thereby removed from the fibre which has been treated with manganese oxides, giving white or coloured effects on the ground colour. For previously dyeing the vegetable fibre, dyes fast to oxidizing-agents, for instance thioindigo dyes, anthraquinone vat dyes, or insoluble azo dyes, are used. The fibre is impregnated with manganese oxides by treating first with a solution of a manganous salt such as the chloride, and then with a strong alkaline or ammoniacal solution, with or without oxidizing-agents, such as a hypochlorite or chromate. The dyes used for dyeing the spun or woven goods may be substantive cotton dyes, indigo, or azo dyes capable of diazotization. The material is then passed through a bath of acid, for instance, hydrochloric acid, and may be subsequently passed through a bath of oxalic acid or bisulphite. Specification 19,668/00 is referred to.
