Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Leaching and Rinsing Fabrics.
Inventor: FEENY CYRIL JOSEPH
IPC: D06B7/00
Filed: 1913-01-20
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 1633. Feeny, C. J., [Bemberg Akt.-Ges., I. P.]. Jan. 20. Zigzag roller type.- Apparatus for leaching and rinsing fabrics by steam with recovery of the lye &c., is provided with rollers cooled with water &c., so that after every passage of the fabric over them, the steam is condensed on the cooled fabric, and the lyes, acids, salt solutions, &c. contained in it are rinsed out. The steam chamber, Fig. 1, has an inclined bottom 2, vertical walls 3, 4, which dip into liquids contained in tanks 5, 6, and a cover 7. Of the contained guide-rollers 8, 9, the lower ones 9 are internally cooled by water &c. The fabric enters through the first liquid-seal 5, and passes up and down over the guide-rollers 8, 9, leaving the steam - chamber through the second seal 6 and passing between squeezing-rollers 12, 13, which remove surplus liquid. The lye, washed out by the condensed steam, drips on to the bottom of the chamber and collects in the first seal 5, wipers being provided to facilitate the dripping. The lye is thus recovered highly concentrated. In a modification, Fig. 3, the cooling-rollers are arranged in a vertical plane, and the fabric leaves the chamber through a roller seal 16, 16', the upper roller 16 being packed by a slide 18 ground to it and moving steam-tight in a guide 19. Knife-like stripper blades 17 are provided. The cooling-water &c. in this case flows over the cooling-rollers 9 from a pipe 25, or a separate pipe 25 may be provided for each roller 9. In the first form of apparatus, the fabric may enter and leave the chamber through slits in its walls, instead of liquid seals, if the pressure of the steam is kept a little above atmospheric; intermediate vertical walls are provided which approach the bottom of the steam-chamber and the rollers, and the steam can thus be caused to travel in the same path as the fabric, in counter current thereto. In a further modification, Fig. 6, the cooling-rollers 35 are placed outside the chamber 1. Internally cooled cheeks 36 embrace the rollers 35, and a counterweighted squeezing-roller 37 may be arranged above each roller 35. Instead of being placed in a vertical plane, the rollers 35 may be arranged beside each other or below the steam-chamber. It being desirable to introduce the fabric as dry as possible into the steam-chamber, it is suitably fed in and withdrawn through pairs of cooling and squeezing rollers 47, 48, Fig. 8, thereby avoiding saturation from liquid seals. Each squeezing-roller 48 is provided with a slide similar to the slide 18, Fig. 3, and an overflow pipe 54 leads from the trough 53 of each cooling-roller 47 to that of the roller below it.

Abstract: 4711. HarlÚ et Cie. Sept. 11, 1912, [Convention date]. Mines, marine. -R elates to means for adjusting the length of the lead of automatic anchors, and consists in winding the lead line on a drum on the anchor, the rotation of which drum is adapted to be stopped by a spring pin adjustable alongside the drum. As shown, the lead line i passes over a guide k at the end of the pawl f, which locks the drum b of the anchor cable when the lead touches bottom, and over a second guide l, and is then wound around a drum m formed with longitudinal slots n. A pin p adjustable in a slot o alongside the drum m is pressed towards the drum by a spring r, Fig. 2, but is kept away from the slots n by the coils of the line i. The lead j is thus free to fall away from the anchor; but when the predetermined length of line has been unwound from the drum m, the pin p snaps into a notch n, locks the drum m and prevents the further fall of the lead.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Setting Mechanism for Change-giving Apparatus.
Inventor: CHIGER SIEGMUND
Filed: 1913-05-05
Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 10,558. Chiger, S. May 5. Cash registers with money - manipulating apparatus.-In mechanism, used in connexion with change-giving apparatus, for indicating the difference between the amount of a purchase and the amount tendered, in which setting- levers are first set to represent the purchase amount or subtrahend, are then connected with indicating-drums, and finally are moved with the drums to a setting in accordance with the amount tendered or minuend, the indicating- drums are arranged in such a manner that the drums of the tens and higher denominations are set back relatively to the units drum by onetenth of a revolution. The drums are moved forwards by their corresponding setting-levers, and separate operating-means is provided whereby, when necessary, the drums may be moved forwards through an additional step. The setting-levers 1 have pointers which move over scales 25 and are provided with sectors 3 engaging pinions 4, 5. The pinions 4 are rotatably mounted on a shaft 6 and have secured thereto pinions 7 gearing with disks indicating the minuend. Pinions 9, 10 are slidably mounted on the shaft 6, and can be clutched alternately to the pinions 7 by the movement of a lever 17. The pinions 10 are connected with numeralbearing disks to show the subtrahend and the pinions 9 through racks 11 transmit the difference between the amounts set to indicating- drums 18 ... 21 spring-connected to the stationary shaft 30 and held in set position by a pawl 33 adapted to be released to allow the disks to return to normal position by a cam 34. These drums in their normal position show the numerals 0, 9, 9, 9, respectively, through the apertures 23 in the casing. In operations in which a figure in any denomination of the minuend is greater than the corresponding figure in the subtrahend, additional means must be provided to advance the wheel through onetenth of a revolution. This step is effected by a pivoted pawl 35 mounted on a rack 36, which is adapted to be reciprocated when a shaft 39 is rotated by a handle 43. The rack 36 engages a pinion 38 having two pawls 40, 41 engaging notches in the shaft. If the figure in the subtrahend is greater than the corresponding figure in the minuend, no additional movement is necessary, and to avoid such movement, the pawl 40 is disengaged by means of a cam 45 mounted on a sleeve 46, which sleeve is rotated by the corresponding sector 3 through a pinion 5 loosely mounted on the sleeve and having a projection 51 adapted, when the setting-lever is moved to its full extent, to engage an arm 48 and rock the sleeve to disengage the pawl. The sleeves are coupled together by providing one end with a recess and the end of the other sleeve with a disk and pawl 55 to engage said recess. To uncouple the sleeve the pawl 55 is provided with an arm 56 adapted to be rocked, when the setting-lever is moved, by its engagement with a shoulder of the recess of a member 57 connected to the pinion 5 of the tens and higher denominations.

Abstract: 10,887. Schlumberger, C. Sept. 27, 1912, [Convention date]. Locating conductors; potentiometer; resistances, measuring. -Minerals, dykes, strata, springs, subterranean rivers or zones with differing amounts or compositions of moisture are located by maintaining a constant difference of potential between two points of the surface of the soil and obtaining a chart of the potentials of various points near to these points, this chart then being compared with the chart which would be obtained in homogeneous ground. The existence, shape, and dimensions of metalliferous deposits are determined by passing a constant current through the ground to charge such deposits, stopping the current and drawing up an auxiliary chart of the potential differences of the ground due to the discharge of the deposits. The potential difference is applied by a generator to earth leads at the two points, the leads each comprising several metal stakes arranged in a circle. Equipotential lines are then traced by means of a flying line containing a galvanometer and terminating in electrodes which are incapable of polarization and consist of a rod of pure copper dipping into copper sulphate solution (or other metal with a solution of one of its salts) in a porous vessel. During a test, the current is preferably applied suddenly, reversed, and finally cut off. The equipotential lines are numbered by the employment of a resistance R connected to the earth at points a, #, near those A, B, to which the current is applied. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that variable differences of potential may be used; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 27,194. Legge, J., and Chilton, H. H. Nov. 26. Hasp locks; two-bolt locks.-The spring latch bolt of a nozzle or hasp lock can be withdrawn by the key of the lock bolt. The key pin E is secured to a plate D which is capable of sliding in the casing against the action of a spring F. When the lock bolt G has been withdrawn, a further turn of the key brings the bit against a cam-surface H on the lock bolt, and since this cannot move, causes the plate D to slide to the right, carrying with it the key pin and the key. The key passes through the usual sliding nozzle rigidly connected to the latch bolt (not shown), so that the latch is withdrawn when the plate D is moved. A projection on the latch bolt abuts against a projection g on the plate D, so that the spring F serves to return the latch to its normal position.

Abstract: 28,441. Auerbach, M. Dec. 9. Shuttle - changing mechanism.-When shuttlechanging is to occur, a stop controlled by electrical or mechanical means from the empty spool releases the shuttle-box back wall 5, which is thereupon turned on a vertical pivot 4 by a spring 7 from the position shown, wherein it is parallel to the front wall 8, into a position wherein it contacts with the front wall 8. The incoming spent shuttle is thereby deflected out of the sh¨ttle box down a guide 2 into a receptacle 3. A pivot 10 on the wall 5 is linked to a lever 12, which turns a lever 13, 15, whereby a projection 18 on a link rod 16 is raised into the path of a projection 19 on the shuttle-box. The rod 16 is thereby actuated and, by means of levers 21, moves spring-controlled slides 23 towards the lay. A fresh shuttle 25 is thereby fed from the magazine 24 and raises a pivoted plate 26 on the shuttle-box. Noses or projections 27 on this plate act on projections 28 on the front wall 8, which is thereby raised in guides 29 to allow the fresh shuttle to enter. The wall 5 is provided with a projecting spring surface 6 to cushion or buffer the shuttle fed into the box from the magazine.

Abstract: 6305. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. March 12. Sights. - Relates to sight - setting apparatus for highangle guns of the kind described, for example, in Specification 20,243/09, in which the rangeindicating device is under the control of a compound cam w h i c h operates upon one member of the device so that, when axial and angular relative movements take place between the cam and the member during range and elevating adjustments, the relative positions of the members of the range-indicating device are automatically varied by the cam in accordance with the range and altitude of the target. According to this invention, the cam is made stationary. The sighting-apparatus is shown in Fig. 3 in side elevation, and in Fig. 4 in sectional rear elevation on the line 1-1, Fig. 3. The range dial A and pointer A' are carried by a casing D rotatably mounted at D<Î> in a support E fitting into a socket on the gun-carriage. The sighting-telescope B is carried on a bracket B<Î> journaled on the pivot Dx so that it can be moved relatively thereto by a sector F<3> and worm f<3> when a spindle F<1> is revolved by a hand-wheel (not shown) during the setting of the line of sight relatively to the axis of the gun. During this operation, the range dial A is moved relatively to the pointer A' by a sector F<4> to indicate the range, and a screw on the spindle F<1> moves a nut F<5> carrying a roller g' axially with respect to a fixed cam C, the arm G' carrying the roller travelling in a slot in a casing a<1Î> freely mounted in the casing D. When the gun is elevated, the casing D and the sight are moved therewith by parallel-motion links connected to an arm D<2>, and the roller g' therefore moves over the fixed cam and, through the rotation of the sleeve a<1Î>, moves the pointer A' relatively to the dial A. The range indication is thus disturbed by an amount depending on the correction for altitude and range of the target, and the sight must be reset so that the correct range is again indicated.

Abstract: 8118. Hatfield, H. S., and Hookham, C. March 31. Electrolytic meters.- The body liberated at the cathode is caused to pass through one or more graduated selfemptying siphons as described in Specification 22,379/06 immersed in the electrolyte, from which it is delivered direct to the anode chamber, thereby avoiding resetting. The capacity of each siphon corresponds to an integer in the number expressing the measured quantity. As shown, gas liberated at the cathode C collects in a siphon a graduated to indicate units. When full, this discharges into a siphon b graduated to indicate tens and so on until the liberated gas reaches the anode A. If the body liberated is heavier than the electrolyte, for instance mercury, the cathode is above the anode and the siphons are inverted. The Provisional Specification states that the invention is applicable to the meters described in Specifications 3527/05, 10,614/08, and 18,341/12.
