Title: Improved Method and Apparatus for Recovering Sulphur Colouring Matters from Dye Liquids and Washing Liquids.
Inventor: SCHMITT JEAN
Filed: 1904-05-17
Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 11,317. Schmitt, J. May 17. Foul waters, treating; precipitating; filtering; precipitants.-Sulphur colouring-matters are recovered from bath liquors and liquids which have been used to wash dyed goods, permitting a clear effluent to be discharged. The liquid to be treated passes into the compartment 2 of the masonry or other tank 1 through the inlet 13, and, the colouring-matter being precipitated by sulphuric acid ur other agent, flows over the partition 5 and passes through the space between partitions 5, 7. This space, in common with those between partitions 8, 10, 11 and the end of the tank, is filled with faggots, small branches, hay, straw, or similar inert material. There are holes, in the lower parts of the higher partitions 6, 9,12. Similarly, the liquid flows through the other two filters, after respectively filling the compartments 3, 4, the suspended colouring-matter being progressively removed, and leaves by the outlet 14 clear and pure. Residual liquids may be withdrawn, according to their density, through cocks or valved openings 16, 17, disposed as shown, by gravity or otherwise. The number of compartments or filters may be varied.

Granted: 1905-05-20
Abstract: 11,756. Christiansen, A. C., and dktieselskabet P. J. Buaas' Fabrikker. May 21. Liquids, sterilizing.-In surface apparatus applicable as a pasteurizing-apparatus and the like, the fluids between which an exchange of temperature is to take place flow respectively inside and outside a revolving conical chamber. The centrifugal force prevents the accumulation of condensed fluid on the inner surface of the chamber. The chamber, which is provided with an inlet pipe b, is divided internally by horizontal rings e, e', &c., which collect the fluid of condensation. Each ring is provided with a pipe f, f<1> &c. carrying the fluid to the widest part of the chamber. The inlet pipe is divided at the base by a vertical partition into two compartments. One compartment is connected to the supply pipe, while the other compartment b<2> serves to carry off the fluid of condensation to the outlet pipe. The chamber may be surrounded by a mantle h so as to form an external passage for one fluid.

Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 22,069. Bernat, R. March 1, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901 ]. Spring wheels.-A wheel especially adapted for use on heavy motor vehicles consists essentially of an internal rim 1, secured to the hub by ordinary spokes 3 and tubular spokes 4, and an outer rim 2, which is resiliently supported by means of elastic tubes or rings extending between the rims. The rings 12 of one series are arranged radially on studs 14, 15, which are secured to the rims at right-angles to the plane of the wheel, another series of rings 13 being arranged in pairs transversely and fixed on studs 16, 17 attached to the rims and parallel to the plane of the wheel. A tube 7, capable of sliding in the tubular part 6 of the spoke 4 and in guides 10 secured to the rim 2, is pressed against the rim 2 by means of a spring 8, Fig. 3, or preferably its outer end is held in the rim by means of a roller 9 fitted at the end of the member 7 and locked in a groove in the rim 2. To prevent impact between the rims, the rim 1 may be provided with india-rubber buffers 18. The rubber thread 20 is secured to the rim 2 by a ring 19. In modifications, the tubes 6 may be pivoted on the hub between two spokes 3, or on the inner rim 1, and the tubes 7 may be pivoted on the outer rim 2. For use on light vehicles, the guide-tubes 6, 7 may be dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in Winding Machines for Yarn and Thread
Filed: 1905-06-20
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 12,777. Soc. Franþaise des MÚtiers Ó Aiguilles. July 4, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Winding-machines.-In a machine for winding yarn or thread into perfectly cylindrical form on bobbins or into cops which retain their form at the ends owing to winding with a quick traverse, and also adaptable for winding conical or other forms, the spindles 34, Figs. 1 and 3, are carried in balanced frames 31 arranged so that they tilt over on completion of the bobbin or cop and bring the spindle pulley against a brake. Each spindle is provided with springs 35, carries fast and loose pulleys 33, 32, and is driven from a pulley 30 ou a shaft 28 on which the frame 31 is freely mounted, a tension pulley 36 keeping the belt tight. The shaft 28 is driven from the main shaft 4, which also drives through pulleys 6,7 a shaft 8 carried in a movable frame 9. Thia frame is mounted on a shaft 12, supported in a frame 5 and driven by gearing 10, 11 from the shaft 8. A helicoidal carn 13 on the shaft 12 reciprocates a collar 16 fixed to a rod 14 and sliding on a guide 17, and an extension 18 of the rod 14 carries the thread-guide, which is conscructed with two arms 21, 22 for leading the thread to the eve 20. A counterweighted arm 53 on the frame 31 normally holds the spool against the rounded surface of the thread-guide, and the strap fork of the spindle-driving band is carried by a bar 38 which is pressed by a spring 40 against a fixed incline 39. As the winding proceeds, the frame 31 is gradually pushed back, and a freely-mounted eccentric 43 bearing against a projection 42 on the frame prevents any return movement. When the spool has attained a suitable size. the adjustment of the counterweight on the arm 53 is such that the frame 31 tumbles over, the incline 39 then transferring the band to the loose pulley, and the fast pulley coming against a spring brake 41. The wound spool can then be replaced by an empty one, the end of thread drawn over one of the arms 21, 22 and attached to the spool, and the winding re-started by raising the ecentric 43 and drawing forward the frame 31. The thread is drawn from reels mounted in forked arms 49. Several winding- heads may be mounted on the same bed-plate, the drive of the shaft 28 and the thread-guide operating-mechanism serving for all the heads.
