Abstract: 7789. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. March 31.. Pile-fabric looms.-In a loom for tufted fabrics having a series of sets of tufting-needles and a movable carriage for each set of needles, the carriages 8, Fig. 2, are loosely supported by combs 14, secured in a frame provided with guide-rolls 12 adapted to ride above and below curved tracks 11. Evener bars 24, 25 are secured to levers 22, 23, which are connected to blocks 28, 30, respectively, and to angle-irons 44, 43. The block 28 is slidingly mounted in a slot 19<1> in a vertically movable bar 19, which is guided by a block 18, and the block 30 is slidingly mounted on the block 28. After a needle 7 has been dropped from each set by the jacquard, the block 30 is moved up by a rod 34, and the evener bars 24. 25 are moved together to align the dropped needles, the bars 43, 44 being simultaneously moved apart to release the carriages. A spring 35 acting on a boss on an arm extending from the block 28 serves as a yielding connexion between the blocks 28, 30. After the tufts have been inserted, the bar 34 is lowered to open the evener bars 24, 25 and close up the bars 43, 44 to align the carriages. The carriages may consist of tubes 8<2>, Fig. 4, each bent from sheet material, soldered together and to bars 8<1>, and secured by plates 8<3>, 8<4> with ears 8<5>, 8<6>.

Abstract: 20,786. Coyne, W. E. S. Sept. 6. Acrial machines without aerostats ; parachutes.-An aerial machine is raised by rotary propellers having blades of variable inclination, and is driven by a vertical propeller and by inclining the axes of the lifting-propellers. A parachute 64 is arranged to open if the motors fail, and the propeller vanes may be set horizontally to obtain a parachutic effect. Propelling.-The lifting-propellers 24, 25 are carried by tubular shafts 20, 21 which are driven by electric motors, and can be inclined in a vertical longitudinal plane by means of a rack and pinion 10, 11, the movement taking place about an axis 8. The propellers, which are driven in opposite directions, are formed of planes 24, 25 pivoted on radial shafts 26, 27. The inclination of the lower propeller blades 25 is controlled by cords 41 passing over pulleys 40 on shafts 29. The shafts 29 are rotated through the arrangement of gearing shown in Fig. 8. Cranks 33 are turned by raising a collar 35, Fig. 1, on the shaft 21 through a handle 37 with a locking-device 39. The upper blades 24 are inclined by rocking the shafts 45 by means of the cranks 47, Fig. 5, connected to the plate 50 in the casing 44. The plate 50 is raised or lowered through a handle 54 and lever 52. An horizontal propeller 56 with a pivoted motor 59 is provided. Steering is effected by varying the inclination of the propeller shafts 20, 21 and by altering the direction of the horizontal propeller 56, which is connected to a pivoted motor 59.

Title: Improvements in, and connected with, the Manufacture of Alkali Sulphides and Alkline Earth Sulphides.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: C01B17/26
Filed: 1910-12-05
Granted: 1911-12-05
Abstract: 28,261. Johnson, G. W., [Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elekron]. Dec. 5. Alkali and alkaline-earth metal sulphides are obtained in a directly marketable condition by reduction of the corresponding sulphate in a shaft furnace by the use of a small excess of carbonaceous material, such as coal. The excess of coal serves to reduce the last traces of sulphate in the tapped-off melt, and to cause the latter to be loosened by the gases produced. The furnace is water - jacketed, and is first filled with large pieces of coal, preferably containing but little ash. Sulphate and coal are then charged continuously into the furnace. The melt is tapped off continuously or intermittently, and the solidified sulphide may be pulverized for example, in a ball mill. If crystallized sulphides are required, the melt is allowed to flow directly into water, and the hot saturated solution so obtained filtered, and the crystals separated in a cold stirring vessel. It is preferred that in all these operations, the access of air should be avoided. Specifications 819/69, 2616/69, and 23,217/07 are referred to.
