Inventor: HOENIG MAX
IPC: C14C3/24
Filed: 1910-03-21
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 7066. Hoenig, M. April 19, 1909, [Convention date]. Processes and materials for treating hides and skins.-Tanning extracts made from waste cellulose sulphite lyes are given predetermined tanning properties by regulating the proportion of lignin-sulphonic acids which they contain in the free and combined states. The lyes are analyzed, and a sufficiency of sulphuric acid, or other acid-producing lime salts which are soluble with difficulty, is added to liberate the sulphurous acid contained in the form of esters and inorganic salts as well as that portion of the sulphonic acids which is to appear in a free form. A soluble salt of the acid employed is also added in quantity sufficient to convert the remaining portion of the calcium compounds of the sulphonic acids into innocuous soluble salts, the lime being thrown down for subsequent separation. If the lyes contain a large proportion of iron, they may be filtered through tannin-containing materials, such as oak galls or myrobalans, which will retain the iron. The lyes are concentrated in vacuo to give a liquid or solid extract.

Loading-appliances. - Relates to hydraulicallyoperated ammunition hoists of the kind in which the cage is automatically stopped in a waiting position below the gun until the gun has run out and the breech is opened, and is then caused to ascend into the loading position. The invention consists in the employment of an " inter- '' cepting-valve " having a movable seat, which valve is controlled both by a pilot-valve actuated by the breech mechanism of the gun, and by the cam-bar of the hoist press, and is capable of being opened and closed in either position of its seat. Pressure fluid is supplied to the lifting-press B' of the hoist-cage A by pipes K<3>, K<4> and a working-valve J. The " intercepting-valve " K in the supply pipes is automatically operated, as the cage ascends, by a cam bar M connected to the ram B, and normally cuts off the supply when the cage A reaches the waiting position a. When the gun G is run out, and the breech is opened, a lever Y on the axis-pin of the breech mechanism operates a pilot-valve X and opens a chamber N in the valve K to exhaust. The fluid pressure in the pipe K<3> then lifts the seat K<1> of the valve relatively to the valve-stem K<9>, and again opens the valve. The cage A is now raised into the loading position a', and is arrested by the usual stop.

Weft, cutting.-Means for cutting the ends of weft from the spent and fresh shuttles in weft-replenishing looms comprise a series of disks such as e<5>, rotatably mounted on a pin on a rod d guided in a recess in the temple frame. The disks, for example five in number, are removable and are pressed together by a helical spring surrounding their axle-pin and held in position by a cap d<2>. When a change of shuttle is indicated by the weft fork or feeler, a lever a raises a pawl b and frees a nose c secured to the rod d, whereupon a spring f moves the rod d and the disks towards the lay. During this movement, pins h, h<1> fixed to the temple frame and engaging slots i, i<1> in alternate disks cause such alternate disks to rotate in opposite directions, so that recesses in the disks come into register, as shown in dotted lines. The weft l is introduced by the lay into the recesses, and a rod m on the lay strikes a head n on the nose c and returns the rod d to its former position, the resultant rotation of the disks effecting the severance of the weft. As the pawl b is still held raised by the lever a, the rod d moves backwards as the lay recedes, and the action of the disks is repeated to sever the weft from the fresh shuttle, but any further action is prevented by the return of the lever a to its normal position.
