Title: Improvements in Jacquard Mechanism for Weaving Terry Fabrics
Inventor: HADFIELD REGINALD
Filed: 1901-04-13
Granted: 1902-04-10
Abstract: 7604. Hadfield, R., and Warrington, A. April 13. Jacquards.-Figured terry fabrics, in which the figure is obtained by colour effects, or by the alternation of terry woven portions with plain portions, or by both, are woven by means of a jacquard having two sets of griffe blades h, h<1>, respectively actuating series of hooks g, g<1>, which are associated in pairs, each controlled by one needle c, and connected to one pile thread. The griffes respectively rise and fall on alternate picks. Each card on the card cylinder b serves for three successive picks, but, owing to the way in which the griffes are actuated, it is necessary to use perforated cards alternating with blank cards, when a continuous terry surface is required. That portion of each hook g which traverses the corresponding needle may be bent slightly, or a lateral motion may be given to the griffe h, by means of a slotted guide-plate l, and a pin j on the griffe; by such means the corresponding hooks g<1> are pressed towards the griffe blades h', during the ascent of the griffes h. The cylinder b may be controlled by a double catch m, which may be actuated by means of a lever s, sliding-rod q, and one of a series of cams n, any of which may be moved into position beneath a bowl p, on the rod q.

Granted: 1902-05-15
Abstract: 10,351. Hardingham, G. G. M., [Heberlein, F.]. May 18. Sulphur; selenium; tellurium.-Ores and other metalliferous compounds are treated so as to separate the volatile from the non-volatile metals or metalloids, for example, sulphur selenium or tellurium, from gold, silver, lead, copper, and iron. The example given is the separation of arsenic or antimony from lead or lead ore. The compound is mixed with a reducing agent, such as coke, coal, sulphur, sulphides, &c., and heated to from 300‹ to 500‹ C. The product is then transferred to a converter, and air, steam, or other oxidizing-agent is forced or drawn through the mass. The antimony or arsenic escapes as a vapour or as an oxide, while the lead remains. The two heating processes may both take place in the converter, the reducing, the oxidizing, and the volatilizing operations being all carried out therein.
