Patent GB-191108819-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Knitting Machines.
Inventor: KIRK FRANK LESTER
IPC: D04B15/06
Filed: 1911-04-08
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 8819. Kirk, F. L., and Bennett, J. April 8. Circular machines; straight-bar machines.- Relates to improvements in the sinker and presser mechanism of machines with sliding bearded needles whereby a standard length of loop can be sunk .and a more perfect class of work can be produced. The sliding sinkers A are provided with extensions B supported in bars S, S<1> and performing the same operation as independent knocking - over bits. When the thread laid on the sinker noses A is sunk on the needles the loops of the last course knitted pass into gates C. After the new loops pass under the beards of the needles the sinkers retire and allow the loops to descend on to the extensions Band are again advanced so that the inclined portions B' carry the loops over the ends of the needles. Pressing is effected by means of sliding instruments E with butts E<2> reciprocated by cam plates R. The sinkers are operated by pivoted jacks F which in the normal position lie up against the inner vertical face J<1> of the cam box J. The jacks are operated by a cam N pivoted about a shaft J<2>, the cam bearing on the jacks both above and below the pivot F'. This arrangement prevents the sinkers A from moving more than the required amount. Gradual engagement of the jacks is effected by side wings N3 of the cams N. The jacks are returned by swing- ing cams L operated by a sliding double cone M which has a lost motion so that as the machine reverses the leading cam of the pair goes out of action, and the trailing cam goes into action. The cams L deflect the jacks a greater amount than is necessary to return them to the normal position, and the jacks are returned to the normal position by bevelled faces J<3> which impart the necessary movement to the sinkers for knocking-over.

Title: Improved Process for Sterilising Liquids, particularly Milk.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
IPC: A23C3/07
Filed: 1911-05-22
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 12,333. Bloxam, A. G., [Ahrndsen, C.]. May 22. Sterilizing milk &c.-Liquids, particularly milk, to be sterilized with the aid of ultra-violet or like rays, are formed into thin layers by freezing the liquid into the form of blocks or plates, and subjecting these to the action of the rays, whereby the liquid melts and runs away. Since in the freezing of milk a separation of its constituents into layers is effected, it is possible to obtain them by this process in a separate and sterile condition.

Abstract: 28,330. Benson, G. E. Dec. 16. Designs on face, producing.-In machinery for producing designs on fabrics, comprising a revolving shearing-roller, a bed or support, and a stationary or movable stencil of hard flexible material inserted between the cutter and the bed, the stencil is passed round rollers having axes parallel to the bed, and so situated that the line joining the points where the stencil leaves one roller, and passes' on to the other, lies below the edge of the bed. The spiral cutter a is mounted as usual in pivoted end frames d provided with handles f for lifting out of operative position. The cloth g passes over a bed h beneath a zinc, stiff paper, or like stencil plate m, which passes on to rollers n, n<1> set below the bed and provided with tensioning-ratchets n and with adjusting-screws q. A brush l is provided to raise the nap. A greater depth of shearing may be secured by placing a layer of rubber or felt u over the bed h, a sheet of paper being interposed below the fabric to reduce friction. An endless stencil may be led over a third roller n<2> and the stencil may then be drawn beneath the cutter at the same speed as the fabric, or at a different speed. The arrangement may be duplicated by the use of two machines with complementary designs on the stencils. In case of the endless sheets, one of the side frames carrying the roller bearings may be hinged or on a slide, and the corresponding lever d made removable to allow of replacement of the sheet. Or the rollers may be moved endways on their bearings, or the ends may be thinned down and riveted, in which case a fresh sheet may be inserted by removing the rivets.

Abstract: 11,448. Paton, D. Nov. 17. Sprinklers, automatic.-An automatic watersprinkler for fire extinguishing consists of a leaden valve soldered to the rim of the sprinklerhead and supported underneath by a yoke, the arms of which are normally connected by a fusible alloy. On fusion of the alloy, the support drops from the head, and a hole is blown in the valve by the water of sufficient size to allow a nozzle, normally situated in the sprinkler tubing, to drop through. The valve h is pressed into shape and hermetically sealed by solder to the curved interior surface of the flange Y of the sprinkler tubing A, a portion of the valve projecting upwards around the inner circumference of the tubing. Against the under surface of the valve is pressed a plate T adjustable by a screw P on a base S, which rests on the lower internal flanges of a twopart yoke B, the upper flanges of which rest on the flange Y. The arms of the yoke are provided with extensions J, D, 0, which are held together by a fusible solder or other binding-material E and are pressed apart by a spring C when the alloy is fused, so that they drop from the tubing. When the support is removed, the water blows a hole in the valve and allows a nozzle to drop through. The nozzle shown, which is described in Specification 22,234/14, is formed from a piece of tubing, pressed in part into a conical shape M, and having slits therein and flat projections e at each side; part of the cylindrical portion is cut away from the front and back, leaving projections L continuing up to a ring K. The nozzle drops until the ring rests on a shoulder R in the tubing, the shoulder being gapped to permit of the passage of the projections c, L.
