Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for the Extraction of Grease and similar Matter from Wool, Skins, Textiles and other Materials.
Inventor: MAYO CHARLES ROBERT
IPC: C11B1/10
Filed: 1911-06-02
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 13,340. Mayo, C. R. June 2. Fats, extracting by solvents. Relates to the plant for extracting fats &c. by means of volatile solvent under reduced pressure described in Specification 8600/09, and in particular to the arrangement of the suction pump f, Fig. 4, and the compression chamber g into which the pump delivers vapours withdrawn from the condenser. The invention consists in arranging the pump f and the compression chamber g between the condenser and the reservoir h, so that the vapours together with the whole of the products of condensation pass through the pump and the compression chamber. The liquid is conducted from the chamber g to the reservoir h by a pipe 12 fitted with a float valve, and the vapours are conducted to a scrubber j, either directly, or through an air space in the reservoir, as by pipes 11, 16 controlled by valves 13, 15. The latter arrangement provides for the maintainance of pneumatic pressure over the surface of the solvent in the reservoir, which may be used to force the solvent to the extracting-plant. The air space in the reservoir may, however, be maintained at atmospheric or reduced pressure. Scrubbing-liquid, for example, water, may be allowed to overflow into the condenser, whence it circulates through the pump f, chamber g, reservoir h, and through a float-controlled valve 17 back to the scrubber j. When solvents lighter than water are used, the reservoir is U-shaped, Fig. 6, the part h<1> containing the solvent and the part h the water, the solvent being accordingly delivered to the extracting-plant through a pipe p under hydraulic pressure. The extracting - plant comprises a filter arranged between the extractors and the stills.

Title: Method of Embossing Pictures in Imitation of Oil Paintings.
Inventor: STEEDMAN HENRY PERCY GORMANSTO
IPC: B44F11/02
Filed: 1911-06-28
Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 15,108. Steedman, H. P. G. June 28. [Cognate Applications, 15,240/11 and 25,479/11.] Embossing; embossing-surfaces.-Lithographic prints and other pictures are embossed to imitate the canvas, brush, impasto and other marks of oil paintings by means of an intaglio die which is applied to the face of the print, this die being produced from a relief matrix. The matrix is formed by applying a composition which quickly hardens to a transparent sheet which has been formed with canvas-like marks by embossing, the sheet being laid over the picture to permit the composition to be applied so as to produce correct register. The composition consists of silicate of soda and whitening, or of glue and lithophone. Instead of being embossed, the transparent sheet may be a plain sheet with a layer of coarse canvas affixed. The transparent sheet may be replaced by an opaque sheet to which marks, to assist in positioning the brush marks, are applied by the aid of carbon paper; or by a specimen of the picture to be embossed, the specimen being embossed to imitate canvas prior to having brush marks formed thereon. An intaglio die is made from the matrix when the composition has set, by means of a sheet of ebonite, or celluloid rendered plastic by heat. The canvas markings in the matrix may be dispensed with, and the picture is then embossed twice, once to form canvas marks and once by a die as above to form brush marks &c. A canvas backing is preferably applied to the backs of prints during or after the embossing operation, and a material such as china clay may be used embodied in the adhesive so as to leave the canvas back smooth. The picture is also preferably coated with varnish prior to the embossing operation. According to the Provisional Specification 15,108/11, the intaglio embossing-die may be formed in stereotype or electrotype from the matrix prepared as described, or by casting with certain slag-like materials such as " Phillip's metal." The matrix may be formed of hard ozokerit.

Abstract: 8713. Huguenin, A. April 12, 1911, [Convention date]. Balancing moving parts.-Rotors for centrifugal pumps and compressors of the type wherein the blades are mounted on one side of the rotor disk are so constructed that the generating-line A B C, Fig. 1, of the medical section of the rotor disk a is oblique to the axis x, x to an extent such that the bending strains due to the action of centrifugal force on the blades b and on the disk a substantially neutralize each other. In small disks and in disks which do not rotate at a very high speed, the generating line ABC is straight, but in high speed disks the medial line A B C is curved away from the side carrying the blades so that the inclination of the line A B C to the normal A C, increases as it approaches the periphery of the disk. The blades b, Fig. 3, are preferably of T section, and may be screwed or riveted to the disk. Considering the centrifugal bending strains produced at any cylindric section y, y of the rotor, let the centre of gravity of that portion of the blade lying outside this cylindric section be at the point S1, and the centre of gravity of that portion of the disk section lying outside the cylindric section be at the point S2. The centrifugal force at unit angular velocity on the portion of blade in question is F1 acting at the point S, and on the portion of the rotor is F2 acting at the point S2, and the inclination of the medial line A B C is such that the moments of the forces above the point B are equal.

Title: Process and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Artificial Mother of Pearl.
Inventor: ROSEN JEAN
IPC: B44F9/08
Filed: 1912-08-02
Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 17,953. Rosen, J. Aug. 2. Ornamenting.-Consists in making artificial mother-of-pearl by superposing thin layers of materials which differ in their chemical and physical properties, so that iridescence is produced by the interference of light. One of the layers is made of gelatine or celluloid, or preferably from a solution of nitrocellulose to which may be added an emulsion of amylacetate in an aqueous solution of an alkaline silicate. The other layer is less transparent, and consists of a silicate prepared by melting together a mixture of quartz, lime, and soda or potash in the presence of charcoal, there being twice as much lime as there is soda. To this silicate is preferably added a solution of casein in ammonia. Films of these materials are produced by alternately dropping small quantities on to a rotating disk in a heated box which serves to keep the silicate liquid. Colours may be dropped on to the disk as desired, and powdered metal such as gold may be injected through holes in the sides of the box, to form a reflecting surface between the layers. A solution of formaldehyde is placed in the oven, and by its evaporation renders the casein insoluble, and keeps the metal powder bright. The best effects are obtained by making the nitrocellulose layers one-tenth as thick as the silicate layers. When a block of the required thickness is formed, it is removed and pressed.
