Abstract: 3105. Soc. Anon. Banque du Radium. Sept. 28, 1909, [Convention date]. Threads, treating with liquids.-Threads are rendered radio-active by precipitating thereon a salt of actinium. The thread is cleaved, dried, and immersed in a solution of a salt of actinium, which is obtained diluted in a large body of bismuth nitrate. This solution should contain just sufficient acid to prevent precipitation of the bismuth. The impregnated material is then boiled in a solution of ammonium chloride to precipitate the bismuth as oxychloride, containing the actiniferous salt, and the treated thread may be introduced into a solution of tannin or other colloidal solution, which acts as a fixing-agent.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Starting and Stopping Mechanism for Machines used in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
IPC: A43D119/00
Filed: 1910-10-21
Granted: 1912-01-22
Abstract: 24,484. Gouldbourn, J, and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Oct. 21. Gearing for stopping and starting machinery. -Starting and stopping mechanism for machines used in the manufacture of boots and shoes comprises braking-surfaces, which, to arrest the driving-shaft and retain it arrested, are forced together by a power-actuated part of the machine which applies the pressure independently of the control or positioning of the starting-lever and connexions whereby this lever operates means which control the driving-clutch and auxiliary means which automatically release the brake when or before the driving-clutch is thrown in. The invention is shown in Fig. 3 embodied in a cutting-out presses. The bolt of a one-revolution clutch of an ordinary type is normally withdrawn to uncouple the driving- shaft by the wedge portion B' of a bell-crank lever E<3>, which is connected to the free end D<5> of a flexible brake-band D through a link E and a yoke D<4> pivoted on an oscillating frame D' operated from the platen of the press. The brake-band D surrounds and serves to arrest a disk B<1>, which is carried by the driving-shaft and connected to one of the clutch members. Depression of a starting-treadle serves to raise a rod F and withdraw the wedge B<3> to release the clutch-actuating bolt through mechanism comprising a bell-crank lever E<6> and a spring- controlled catch E<4> pivoted to the lever E'. Actuation of this lever E<3> also serves to rock the yoke D<4> to slacken the brake-band D, and the parts are so proportioned that the release of this brake is effected before the clutching of the driving-shaft. The catch E<4> is rocked at each revolution of the driving-shaft by a cam H<1> thereon to release it from the lever E<6> and allow the wedge B<3> to return to its position in readiness to re-engage the clutch-actuating bolt, and uncouple the driving-shaft. In a modification shown in Fig. 4, an eccentric L<1> on the driving-shaft is engaged by a brake L, which is normally kept operative by a counterweighted rock-shaft L' acting through an inverted toggle L<6>, L<4> and rod L' resiliently connected to the brake. When the wedge K is operated as before to actuate the clutch, an extension K<3> thereon serves to rock the shaft L<7> against the action of a counterweight L<9> and thereby to raise the rod L<3> to release the brake. According to the Provisional Specification, the clutches may each be operated by a double-threaded screw operated through an arm by a spring-clutched sliding bolt.
