Title: Improvements in Lace and in the Method of Making the same.
Inventor: BIRKEN THOMAS STANLEY
Filed: 1908-11-11
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 24,163. Birkin, T. S., and Anderson, T. Nov. 11. Lace and lacemaking.-A lace fabric having clothing, combination, cross-net, and openwork effects is made on a curtain macbine by the use of four thread - guide bars and pickers or jacks selected by two single-lift jacquards. The bars e, f and g, h carry thick k spool warp and fine spool threads a, b, c, d respectively. On the front motion, the bars e, f, g rise two gaits before the jacks enter ; subsequently the bar e rises a further two gaits, the bar h rises one gait, and the bars f, g fall one gait before the carriages pass to the front, and on the back motion, the bars f, g rest while the bar e falls three and the bar h falls two gaits before the jacks enter ; the bars e, f, g then fall one gait while the bar h rises one gait before the carriages return to the front. Four-gait clothing A is obtained by holding the jacks in the position o clear of all the threads on both motions, commencing on a front motion. Combination work B is obtained by moving the jacks to the position p through the threads a, b on a front motion and holding them clear of all the threads on the back motion, the effect being commenced on a back motion. Cross-net C is produced by moving the jacks to the position r through all the threads for any consecutive front and back motion, and then to the piston p in a similar manner. For open-work effects, the jacks are moved to the position p for any number of consecutive motions.

Title: Improved Means for Measuring or Analysing Gaseous Mixtures.
Inventor: HINMAN BERTRAND CHASE
Filed: 1908-12-08
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 26,561. Hinman, B. C. Dec. 8. Testing gases. -For measuring or analyzing gases, the gas is brought into contact with a substance or fluid with which the constituent to be determined will react, and the resulting change of temperature is measured. The apparatus comprises an aspirating-syringe a combined with a thermometer e, the bulb of which is preferably packed in felt s. A hollow in the bulb forms a receptacle for a sealed cartridge f, which contains the absorbing-material and is connected to the syringe by a pipe n. Before making an analysis, the sealings g are pierced, and the reading of the thermometer is brought to zero by adjusting the scale h by means of a band-knob k. The gas is then forced through the absorbing- material, and the variation of temperature is read off on the scale h, the readings giving directly the percentage of the constituent to be determined. To allow for variations in temperature, the syringe is arranged to deliver the same weight of gas by limiting the movement of the piston by a scale p, the readings of which are obtained from a fixed thermometer scale q. Caustic soda or potash may be used for absorbing carbonic acid, or sodium peroxide for absorbing carbon monoxide.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Artificial Para Rubber.
Inventor: BLUM JOHN
Filed: 1908-12-30
Granted: 1910-03-30
Abstract: 28,450. Blum, J. Dec. 30. Drawings to Specification. Hydrocarbons ; ferments. - A substance believed to have the composition represented by (C5H8)4 is made by acting upon a material such as peat, containing leaf wax, with a ferment and a reducing-agent. The ferment is obtained by placing a piece of imperfectly formed caoutchouc of atout the size of a walnut in a quart of sugar solution, and exposing to sunlight. A ferment used for producing higher alcohols of the olefines is also suitable. To a ton of peat is added a ton of water, six fluid ounces of ferment, and 5 gallons warm water containing 1 lb. sugar, and the action proceeds at a temperature of 140-160‹ F. for three weeks, air and light being excluded. Simultaneously or subsequently any alcohol formed is reduced by a reducing-agent. This hydrocarbon mass is treated with a red granular substance obtained from red Congo rubber, and with salts (sodium carbonate and calcium chloride), to produce a material similar to rubber.

Abstract: 10,505. Virgil, A. K. May 3. Hand and wrist exercising apparatus. - An exercising - keyboard is provided with clicking means, which may be moved into or out of the operative position, and also with a device for varying the pressure required to depress the keys. The keys a, b are provided with adjustable screws 15, 16, and when a key is depressed, the screw 15 is adapted to strike a metal strip 31 mounted in a bar 13. When the key is released, the screw 16 may strike a second metal strip 31. Cushions 6, 10, 11 a r e provided, against which the ends of the keys strike. The bars 13 are arranged between guides 24, 25 and are provided with wedge-shaped slots, which are engaged by cams of similar form attached to the base-board. The bars 13 are normally maintained in the depressed position by means of springs 26<a>, bearing against pins 28 on the bars 13. When a handle such as 35 is rotated, however, a crank shifts the corresponding bar in the longitudinal direction, and the wedgeshaped cams raise it into the operative position. A plate 22, which is attached to the casing, is provided with spring extensions 21, which bear against the rounded shoulders 20 of the keys and return them to the normal position. To permit adjustment of the pressure required to depress the keys, each key is provided with a spring 42 bearing against a rounded bar 43, which may be shifted by rotating a screw 47. A pointer is simultaneously actuated by the cord 53 to indicate the position of the bar 43. Specification 13,234/92, [Class 88, Music &c.], is referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to the Lighting of Gas Burners Electrically.
Inventor: MARCEL DELAGE
Filed: 1909-07-13
Abstract: 16,341. Delage, M., and Woog, P. July 13, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Lighting burners by electric devices.-Relates to means for electrically igniting burners for railwaycarriage lamps by means of induction sparks. The insulated electrode e, Fig. 1, may be arranged to pass through an insulating sleeve d to the inside of the burner grating f, which acts as the earthed electrode, as shown in Fig. 1. This arrangement is stated to be applicable also to pilot burners, because of its compactness. The insulated electrode may be arranged to pass through the gas nipple, and, in another arrangement, a pilot jet which passes through the centre of the burner may act as the insulated electrode. The electrodes e should terminate in a lateral extension, so that the ignition sparks may jump vertically. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 13, one or more holes are made in the insulating piece g, and a metal tube t in contact with the grating is arranged to facilitate lighting. The electrode e may be outside the mantle support, so that the ignition sparks pass through the mantle i, Fig. 16. As shown in Fig. 17, the electrodes are supported above a globe by arms x, and a bell for collecting gas surrounds the electrodes. Fig. 18 shows a railway lamp in which the electrodes are arranged to be readily moved aside. They are pivoted about a rod 8, and a spring 12 is provided to restore them to their operative position above the mantle, the insulated conductor 10 serving as an abutment for the electrode e. As modifications, it is stated that the insulated conductor may pass through the axis 8, the insulating sleeves 6, g of the electrode e may be in one piece, the conductor 5 may be a metal sleeve surrounding the insulating sleeve, and an insulated tube with two passages may be used. The arrangement may also be used above the globe, and is applicable to inverted burners. The rotary movement may be replaced by a sliding movement. When a portable magneto is used, a spring placed on the crank axle may be arranged to be wound up, so that lighting is effected by liberating the spring. The size of the spark may be increased by a condenser arranged in the sparking circuit, with the poles connected respectively to the insulating wire of the secondary and the other wire which is earthed.
