Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 28,355. Ofenbau-Ges. June 28, [Convention date]. Retort and like doors.-A door or cover is pressed against its seating by eccentrics carrying shoe-pieces, which, by sliding relatively to the door or the cross-bar against which they bear, prevent lateral thrusts upon the door when the eccentrics are tightened. The gasretort door 3, carried by cross-bars 4 pivoted to the top of the door frame, is pressed against its seat, after the lower ends of the bars have been secured, by eccentrics 19 carrying shoe-pieces 22, which bear against surfaces 24 upon the door. The eccentrics may be secured to the door, the shoe-pieces being arranged to press against the under surfaces of the cross-bars.

Abstract: 7478. Morgan, A. March 26. Corves; tank wagons.- A tank is adapted to fit inside a tub or corve for use in watering mines, and is provided with a hose attachment. The shallow tank is carried on the bottom of a tub, the sides of which are suitably cut away, and is steadied therein by triangular wings 27. The tank has two end plates 9, having ports 11, which are covered or uncovered by a plate 14. Outside the plates are covers which have perforations 26, for spraying water, and have also connexions 13 for filling the tank or for the attachment of hose pipes. The valve plate 14 is carried by a piece 17, to which it is connected by a tongue-piece 16 sliding in a slot 15, and is actuated by the screwed spindle 21, which passes through the cover-plate. The tank is partly filled with water under considerable pressure, so that the air imprisoned therein forces out the water on opening the valve 14.

Title: Apparatus for Operating the Strings of Mechanical Musical Bow-instruments.
Inventor: BAJDE LUDWIG
IPC: G10F1/18
Filed: 1910-06-13
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 14,256. Bajde, L. June 13. Stringed instruments; tremolo actions.-The bow 3 of a pneumatically-operated stringed instrument is adapted to be pressed against the string 1 by means of pneumatics 6 mounted on a wind - chest 7, which may be moved transversely to the instrument. The wind-chest 7 is provided with felt or leather - covered crosspieces which slide along guide-wires 14, and is connected at each end to a band 19 passing over pulleys 17, 18. The pulleys 17, 18 are mounted on pivoted arms 24, which are connected by rods 25 to pneumatics 26. Above the pulleys 17, 18 are arranged friction-wheels 20, 21, which are constantly rotated in opposite directions. When a pneumatic 26 is deflated, one of the pulleys bears against its friction-wheel, causing the bow 3 to be moved in one or the other direction along its guide-lines 14. If, at the same time, the pneumatics 6 are deflated against the action of the springs 8, a note is sounded. The bellows 6, 26 are controlled by a tune sheet in the usual manner. Two modifications are described in which the friction - wheels are dispensed with, and the bow is directly reciprocated by the deflation of bellows. An instrument having several strings may be rocked on its longitudinal axis by pneumatic devices controlled by the tune-sheet. The bow-stick may be formed of an iron tube. To produce a tremolo effect, the string is connected to a lever instead of to a tail-piece, and this lever is oscillated by the collapse and expansion of a bellows.

Abstract: 452. Seal, W. Jan. 7. Centrifugal actuation. - In a generating system for supplying the lamps on vehicles, launches, &c., employing a dynamo and two batteries, all the changes in the connexions are effected by switches operated by a centrifugal governor. The weights a of the governor operate a switch bridge b against a spring e<2> to close contacts h<1>, h<2>, The bridge has two pawls which alternately engage notches in a plate c' attached to a reversing-switch arm c. When the pawls descend owing to a stop or diminution in speed, the pawl which last operated the switch c passes below its notch, and the other enters its notch, as shown in the Figure. When the speed rises again, the switch c is therefore thrown from one position to another, and guiding- arrangements are provided which force the inactive pawl outwards clear of its descending notch at each operation. In the event of excessive speed, the bar b passes the contacts h<1>, h<2> and breaks the charging-circuit.

Abstract: 28,714. Lake, H. W., [Huebner-Bleistein Patents Co.]. Dec. 20. Electrotype.-Relates to means for accurately adjusting a machine part, such, for example, as the holders for the transparent negative or positive or for the sensitized plate in photographic printing-machines, or the impression mechanism of an electrotype matrix machine. In the matrix machine shown in Fig. 1, the carriage C is moved vertically by screws g and horizontally by screws D, which are rotated from a constantly-driven shaft F by means of electro-magnetic clutches E controlled respectively by controllers O, I. The controllers each comprise a series of concentric disks K', K<2>, K<3>, K<4> connected respectively to gear-wheels k<10>, l<2>, k<7>, l<4>, the whole being loosely mounted on a stud k. The disks K<2>, K<4> are adjustable by hand, and the disks K', K<3> are driven by gearing from the screw D moving the matrixholder C. The disks K<1>, K<2> are provided with pointers k', k<2> which move in front of a stationary unit scale k<5>, the graduations of which correspond to unit movement of the holder C along the screw. The disks K<3>, K<4> also carry pointers moving against a fraction scale k<6>, the graduations of which correspond to a fraction of a unit movement of the holder C. The unit and fraction wheels k<10>, k<7> are geared in the correct ratios to a shaft k<15> driven by bevel-gear from the shaft D, while the unit and fraction setting-wheels l<2>, l<4> are geared in the same ratio to a hand-operated shaft l<5>. The controller casing i carries a contact M furnished with a wheel adapted to run on the edge of a ring secured to but insulated from the moving unit-wheel k<10>. This ring carries a contact M' adapted to engage a spring contact M<2> set in a ring m<2> on the unit setting-wheel l<2>. The ring m<2> revolves in engagement with a contact M<3> on the fraction wheel k', which wheel also carries a contact m<6> arranged to engage with a contact M<4> on the fraction setting-wheel l<4>, the contact ring m<4> of which is connected through a wheel m‹ to a contact M<5>. In operation, the disks K<2>, K<4> are set to the required adjustment and the clutch E engaged by closing a switch. As soon as the contacts on the wheels k<10>, k', l<2>, l<4> are in alinement, a circuit is closed and an electro-magnet excited to open the main switch when the holder C comes to rest. The controller O which determines the vertical movement is of similar construction, and is geared to the adjusting - screws g. Specification 21,513/11, [Class 98(ii), Photographic processes &c.], is referred to.

Title: Improved Iron Tanning Process for Skins.
Inventor: BYSTRON JOSEF
IPC: A61K49/04
Filed: 1912-06-15
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 13,952. Bystron, J., and Vietinghoff, K., Baron von. June 15. Iron tanning.-In iron tannage, insoluble basic ferric compounds are formed in the skin by oxidizing a ferrous salt by means of a nitrogen oxide, especially nitrogen dioxide. In one process, the acid-free skins are placed in a solution of a ferrous salt, with the optional addition of neutral alkali salts, and the liquor is oxidized by passing through it nitrogen dioxide, by decomposing nitrites, or by passing into it a mixture of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide. Liquefied gas may be used for the supply. By working in closed vessels, a given quantity of nitric oxide may be employed cyclically to oxidize the ferrous salt with oxygen taken from the air outside the vessels, or the regeneration may be effected within the vessel itself by passing air through the liquor. The nitrogen oxides may be generated in the vessel by mixing a nitrate with the iron protoxide salt and adding a sufficiency of a suitable acid to liberate nitrous acid. Alternatively, the ferrous solution may be separately oxidized before the skins are immersed, or the skins may be placed in an iron protoxide solution from which their contained alkali precipitates an insoluble protoxide, which is then converted into a basic insoluble compound by nitrogen oxides.
