Abstract: 6281. Simon, E. March 12. Processes and materials for treating hides and skins; electric tanning. - Hides and skins are unlimed by treatment with oxygen, alone or in combination with mucus - producing materials and alkaline salts, whereby the formation of carbonate of lime in the pores is prevented. Alternatively, castor-oil meal may be used with oxygen. The oxygen may be produced directly in the bath electrolytically, or it may be introduced in gaseous or liquid form; or substances that will generate oxygen may be introduced into the bath, such as peroxide of sodium or ammonium compounds or the alkaline earths. The known ingredients, such as acids or alkaline salts, may also be present in the bath. The mucus - producing substances with which the oxygen is used are meals from cereals, potatoes, beans, linseed, or the like, or glue solutions of potash soap. These, with an oxygen-producing substance or free oxygen, are applied to the skins in an aqueous bath prior to and after the tannage. Castor-oil meal is used in an aqueous bath in combination with carbonates, chlorides, and phosphates of the alkalies and alkaline earths.

Granted: 1911-06-26
Abstract: 15,156. Thompson, W. P., [Eselin, E. S.]. June 23. Sweeping - machines; taking up refuse for removal.-Relates to machines of the kind in which a rotary brush disposed in an opening in the lower part of the vehicle body sweeps the refuse on to front and rear inclined conveyers, which discharge into separate receptacles at the front and rear, the runs of the conveyers being swept b y rotary brushes to complete the discharge. According to the invention, the shaft 9 of the road brush 4 is carried by links 10 pivoted at 11 to the forward ends of links 11<1>, which are pivoted at their rear ends to the vehicle body, and the ends of the shaft project through side slots 8<11>, Fig. 4, in a casing 7 mounted on castors and independent of the vehicle body so as to follow the inequalities of the road. The upper end of the forward conveyer 3 is journaled on a shaft 5 mounted in the walls of the vehicle; and its lower end is journaled on a shaft 6 mounted in the forward end of the casing 7. The lower shaft 8 of the rear conyeyer is mounted in plates 8<1> secured to the inner walls of the vehicle. For raising the casing 7 when not in use, racks 17 pivoted to the casing at each side engage with pinions 18 on a transverse operating - shaft, and the pinions are held in the desired position by detents 20. The raising of the casing causes the brush shaft 9 to be swung upwards and rearwards. Rotary brushes 21 assist the discharge from the descending runs of the conveyers. The refuse receptacles have drop doors 22 operated by winding cords 23 on a drum 24 with a ratchet attachment. In the event of a considerable quantity of water being collected, the excess is drained away by means of a tube 28 provided near its closed lower end with a valved outlet spout 29 projecting through the wall of the vehicle. The spout forms a pivot upon which the tube can be turned from its normal vertical position until its open upper end is beneath the surface of the water. A guard-plate 33 prevents the entrance of solid matter into the tube in its normal position. A suction device is provided for collecting the dust from within the apparatus. A water - tank 35, formed with hopper bottoms 36 having outlet pipes 37, is mounted within the upper part of the vehicle body. The lower run of a travelling belt 40 is immersed in the water; and the upper run forms, with side-plates 38 and a base-plate 38<1>, a closed air space communicating with a suction fan 43. The finer dust, which passes through the belt, is delivered by the fan to a quenching- tank 45, the dust-freed air escaping to the atmosphere by a pipe 46. The coarser dust particles are carried around by the belt into the tank 35, and are removed from the belt bv rotary scraper blades 47. Snow ploughs.-When the apparatus is used for removing snow from the centre of the street to the side, the forward conveyer 3 delivers to an horizontal auxiliary conveyer 48, which discharges the snow through an opening normally closed by a door 49.
