Granted: 1911-09-05
Abstract: 20,655. Freymuth, W. A. Sept. 5. Resins and resinous compounds.-Lac is converted into a fibrous form by drawing it into silk-like strands which are bunched together. The lac is squeezed between heated metal plates, which are separated and the fibres drawn out between the plates are removed; or a current of air is blown into molten lac; or rotating arms dip into molten lac and carry away strands; or the lac is spun on a wheel. In the form illustrated, the lac is squeezed between plates A, B heated by steam to 50-100‹ C. The plate A is reciprocated by a crank-disk D. A moving arm F, passing between the plates, removes the strands. Hot or cold air may be passed through the lac. The distance to which the plates are separated is preferably adjustable according to the amount of lac on the plates.

Title: Improvements in Fare-registering Entrance Devices for Tramway Vehicles and the like.
Inventor: BACSARDI STEPHEN
IPC: G07F17/14
Filed: 1911-03-29
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 7891. Bacsardi, S. March 29. Fares, r e g i s t e r i n g, turnstile apparatus for. -In tramcars &c. in which payment is made on entrance and a turnstile is provided to actuate registers showing the cash paid or the amount represented by transfers, the turnstile is situated in the passage formed by entrance barriers 6, 7, Fig. 2, and consists of a central shaft 9 carrying a head 10, to which are pivoted the turnstile arms 12. Normally the arms hang down, but in passing the passage they are raised to the horizontal position by a cam 14. The shaft 9 carries at its lower end a ratchetwheel 16 provided with four notches 18, Fig. 3, with which engages the end 20 of a locking-lever 19, but the turnstile may be freed upon depression of a pedal 22 which, through a lever and a rod 21, withdraws the catch 20 far enough to release the notches 18 but not so far as to disengage the catch from the teeth of the wheel 16, to which it acts as a pawl. The registering- device is operated by a cam-groove 27 formed in the under - side of the wheel 17. A spring- retracted slide 23, provided with a projection 26, Fig. 4, which engages on the cam slot, operates a counter through rods 29. A second pedal 38 is provided which on depression frees the fare register and allows the transfer register to be used, acting for this purpose through a camshaft 36 bearing cams 37 adapted to lift one of two hooked rods 28<1>, 28<11> connected to the counter - actuating rods 29. The hooked rods engage a cross-piece 23<a> carried by the slide 23, and the hooks are mounted on spring portions which can be depressed by the cams 37. Normally one of the hooked rods, 28<11>, is out of engagement, but on depression of the pedal the rotation of the shaft 36 depresses the other hooked rod 28<1> and allows the normally - disengaged rod 28<11> to rise, thus actuating the transfer register. The transfer pedal 38 is connected by a rod 40 and a pin-and-slot connexion to the fares pedal 22 and thus frees the turnstile when depressed. Where transfer or other fares are not to be registered, a third pedal 31 is operated to depress an arm 23<1>, Fig. 4, carrying the counter-actuating projection 26, which is thus rendered inoperative.

Abstract: 24,555. Edwards, W. C. Nov. 4. Iteinforced concrete; walls. - Interlocking sheet - metal reinforcements for single or double walls form also the moulds for the walls. A concrete footing is laid first, then base supports and perforated sheet-metal on edge; cross ties or bridging-pieces, corner clamps, and hooked rods are then secured to the sheet-metal, and the concrete is filled in; the portion that exudes through the perforations is smoothed over the outsides as a facing. In one form, the parts shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are combined according to requirements. The main body portion, Fig. 2, is bent to form faces 35, 36, a transverse portion 14, and box-like studs 27, 28, 42, 49; folds 37 form stiffening-ribs with bent and flattened tongues 38, and tongues 36<1> are bent out from the body portions. Extension n members, Fig. 3, interlock with the studs 27,42, Fig. 2, and transverse members, Fig. 4, interlock with the studs 28, 42. Fig. 8 shows a base support for the reinforcement of a double wall, Fig. 9 shows a bridging-piece which interlocks the superposed sections by means of tongues and slots, and Fig. 10 shows a corner clamp. Fig. 12 shows a modification comprising one shape of a wall section which is reversed on opposite sides so as to interlock at the faces. In a similar form, the sections interlock midway between the faces. Fig. 13 shows perforated sections with dovetailed grooves to hold the rendering. The invention is applicable to the construction of tanks and grain silos.

Abstract: 4808. Arnaud, G. A. M. Feb. 26. Gaseous mixtures; purifying processes.-Carbonic acid is separated from illuminating, blast furnace, and coke-oven gas or water-gas by passing the gas together with a suitable liquid, for example, water, and under comparatively high pressure through a pipe or conduit, the liquid being subjected to a whirling motion to form an emulsion with the gas, after which the liquid and gas are allowed to come to rest, the undissolved gases are drawn off, and the liquid is ejected against a suitable obstructing- body to set free the dissolved carbonic acid. In the apparatus shown, gas and liquid mix in the pipe a, and pass through a nozzle into a wider pipe c, an emulsion being thereby formed. The purified gas is withdrawn through a pipe, and the liquid is forced out through a pipe d, and impinges against a plate b, carbonic acid being separated, and the liquid collecting in the vessel e. The pipe carrying off the undissolved gases is provided with a jacket into which exhaust steam is passed, and the gases are afterwards passed into pipes in a chamber through which exhaust steam passes from the jacket. This prevents condensation or freezing of the particles of the solvent in the gases. When water-gas is treated a mixture consisting mainly of hydrogen and carbon monoxide results.

Abstract: 5859. Dawson, O. S., and Dawson, H. E. March 8. Colour photography, screens for. - In a pattern screen for colour photography, each colour is designedly represented by a shape differing from that of any other colour, one of the shapes being a circle or oval.

In Figs. 1 and 2, a, b, c represent typical shapes for the three colours of a three-colour screen. In making the screens, negatives and positives are obtained of the individual colour shapes by using suitable lens stops, and the screens are obtained by exposing a bichromated surface under one of the positives, dyeing in one colour, mordanting or protecting that colour, resensitizing, 'exposing under a second positive suitably positioned to obtain the second set of areas between the first set, dyeing and fixing or protecting the second colour, again resensitizing and exposing through the third positive or through the back of the plate to obtain the third colour.

Abstract: 24,944. Giusti, T. Oct. 31. Plates, dishes, and the like, washing.-Comprises a construction of machine for washing crockery of the kind in which the articles are inserted in the quadrants of a skeleton wheel rotating in a semicircular tank and are cleaned by water circulated within the tank by opposed rotary propellers situated at opposite sides of the tank. A wheel has two diametrical divisions at right-angles, which are fitted with antifriction rollers and have projecting ends adapted to engage with a recess 13<1> on a sliding weighted latch so that the wheel is locked automatically at each quarter-revolution. As each compartment comes opposite to the receiving point, a loaded quadrant-shaped crockery-basket 29 is run along the rollers into it and, after passing through the tank during the intermittent movement of the wheel, is pushed into the chamber 17'. In this chamber it is subjected to rinsing sprays of hot water circulated in an adjacent tank by the pump 22, and finally removed through a hinged door at one side of the chamber. Each diametrical division of the wheel, when in the vertical position, divides the main tank into two compartments which communicate through lateral pockets formed on each side of the tank. Two propellers, one at the end of each pocket, are arranged as shown to drive the water in a circular course through the compartments and the pockets.
