Abstract: 26,571. Marmeling, A. Schulte-. Nov. 19. Angular bending; dies and formers; shearing- adjuncts. - A machine for use in manufacturing spring washers from spirally - wound wire comprises a f r a m e having radial slides therein in which slide the dies and cutter and a central mandrel. The wire is fed through one die 5 by a gripper 7 actuated through a lever 33 from a cam 37 on a driving-wheel 38, Fig. 2, the length of stroke being adjusted by a pin 32. The first die 2 is operated by a lever from a cam 14, and the wire is thus bent round the mandrel and held by the die while the second die 3 is advanced by a tappet 19 operated by a pin 20 on the cam-plate 14. The dies 4, 5 are successively advanced and retracted by a camsurface 23 on a disk 24, the die 3 being retracted as the die 4 advances, and the feed - slide is retracted by a cam 59 on the disk. The wire is then severed by a cutter 26 entering a recess 45 in the mandrel, this cutter being adjustably fixed to a slide 6 and passing through the die 2, and operated by a cam - projection 30 on the disk 24. The cutter is partly retracted by a spring 27 and further by the slide 2. The mandrel 8, Fig. 6, is prevented from rotating by a collar 46 on it having projections engaging recesses in the frame, the mandrel being drawn into the frame to release the washer by a cam 51 operating a projection 50, and pressed forward again by a spring 48. A spiral projection 53 on the sleeve 52 causes the wire to become a spiral. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 985/95, 14,981/95, and 11,794/11.

Abstract: 11,242. Cecka, F., and Schubert & Salzer Maschinenfabrik Akt.-Ges. May 6. Straight-bar machines; knitted fabrics.-To produce flat fashioned stocking fabric with reinforcements as indicated by the areas A, B, C, D and A<1>, B', C', D', Fig. 1, the movements of the thread-guides 3, 4 towards the centre of the fabric are controlled by stops 14, 15, 16, 17 on sliding racks 11, 12 gearing with a wheel 9 having attached to it two ratchet-wheels 10, 10<a> with teeth lying in opposite directions. The ratchet-wheel 10 is operated by means of a plunger 20 controlled by a jacquard &c. and carrying a pawl 22 and also a connecting-rod 35, which simultaneously releases the ratchetwheel 10<a> from a pawl. When reinforcement is commenced at the points A, A<1>, the racks 11, 12 are extended, so that the stops 14, 16 are in extreme right and left hand positions respectively and lie against stops 6, 7 on the thread-guide rails 2, 1. The ratchet 10 is turned at each revolution, allowing the stops 14, 16 to approach one another, and the thread-guide rails a progressively increasing traverse, until the stops 17, 15 come into the path of the stops 6, 7. The movement of the ratchet 10 may be stopped at this point to allow the straight pieces C, B, C', B' to be knitted. Further movement of the ratchet-wheel in the same direction as before causes the stops 17, 15 to restrict the movement of the thread-guides progressively to produce the inclined portions C', D', C, D. The area lying without the dotted lines A, B, C, D, &c., Fig. 6, can be reinforced in a similar manner by a modified form of apparatus in which the racks 11, 12 carry each one stop 14, 16 only.

Granted: 1915-06-24
Abstract: 16,198. Boidin, A., and Effront, J. July 11, 1913, [Convention date]. Diastase.-Enzymes and toxines are prepared by cultivating aerobic bacteria in contact with air in thin layers of a mash rich in nitrogenous constituents and poor in carbohydrates, formed of vegetable or animal albuminoid materials, such as casein, fibrin of maize, soy-cake, from which the fat has been extracted, or bran or other vegetable waste product which has been freed from caxbohydrates by saccharification, fermentation, and distillation. The mash prepared in a boiler 1 is forced by air pressure into a sterilized culture chamber 15 formed of materials, such as aluminium, enamelled metal, porcelain, or glass, which do not affect bacteria. The mash is distributed in thin layers on trays 25, mounted on a central shaft which is rotated either with a to-and-fro motion to agitate the mash or rapidly to discharge the trays by oentrifugal action. Either a separate culture is added to the mash, or portions of a previous culture are left on the trays. The culture chamber is retained at 30-40‹ C. and air sterilized by passage through a filter 8 is passed through the chamber. The culture may also be made in a chamber with fixed plates, or filled with pumice-stone, coke, shavings, &c. Starchliquefying enzymes are obtained from bacteria of the species tyrothrix or subtilis, and toxines from the bacilli of diphtheria, tetanus or tuberculosis. The cultures may be preserved by the addition of sea-salt, magnesium or ammonium sulphate, or formaldehyde. The solution may be concentrated in vacuo. The enzyme or toxine may be precipitated by addition of a large quantity of ammonium sulphate.
