Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Making Celluloid Blanks for Hairpins and like Articles.
Inventor: PETITCOLLIN GUSTAVE
Filed: 1908-09-10
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 19,053. Petitcollin, G. Sept. 10. Hair-pins.-Consists in making pointed celluloid blanks from continuous rods by drawing - out the rods made soft at suitable points by heat. The celluloid rods J, Figs. 5 and 6, are held by clamps 13, 14 extending along two cross - arms 9, 12, and are softened by one or more steam heating- boxes 27, provided with a detachable cover 39 under which the rods J pass. The heating- box, shown enlarged in Fig. 7, . is moved by rotating the wheel 36, and bears by means of a sleeve 26 on the rod 23 ; a pointer 37 and scale 38 are provided for its adjustment. The rods are then drawn by rotating the wheel 20 which operates the double - threaded shafts 5, 6, causing the arms 9, 12 to recede, a pointer 21 and scale 11 indicating the amount of displacement. Fig. 8 shows various forms which the cross-section of the pin may take.

Title: Process for the Production of a Coating of Platinum on Base Metals not Easily Fusible, such as Iron, Nickel, Cobalt, or the Alloys thereof.
Inventor: BAUM MAX
Filed: 1908-10-22
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 22,455. Baum, M. Oct. 22. Platinum, depositing.-A substitute for platinum is made by electrolytically coating base metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, or their alloys, first with an alloy of platinum and base metal, and then with pure platinum. To coat a piece of nickel wire, for example, the wire is cleaned by heating it to incandescence in a reducing-gas, such as hydrogen and is then placed in an electrolyte made by mixing a solution of 25 grm. of platinum chloride, containing 40 per cent of platinum, in 500 grm. of water, with 100 grm. of ammonium phosphate in 500 grm. of water, and adding 500 grm. of sodium phosphate in 1000 grm. of water and then 4000 grm. of a solution of nickelous phosphate in sodium pyrophosphate containing 5 grm. of nickel per litre, boiling until ammonia is no longer evolved, and replacing the evaporated water. The wire, thus coated with a platinum-nickel deposit, is heated to at least 1000‹ C. in a current of hydrogen, whereby the deposit welds itself to its metallic foundation. The wire is now coated with a thin layer of platinum in a bath made as above described except that the nickelous phosphate is omitted. A second platinum coat is deposited after again heating the wire in hydrogen, and this alternate heating and coating is continued until no oxidation is apparent on heating the wire in air. In a modified treatment the wire is immersed successively in electrolytes in which the proportion of platinum to base metal gradually increases so that alloys increasingly rich in platinum are deposited. A nickel-steel wire may be coated with a platinum-nickel alloy by depositing nickel and platinum successively and then alloying the two deposits by heating the wire in a current of hydrogen. Specification No. 7853, A.D. 1894, is referred to.

Patent GB-190902293-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Method of and Means for Increasing the Strength of Bellows-like Hydraulic and Pneumatic Apparatus.
Inventor: BRANDT PIERRE
IPC: B30B1/00
Filed: 1909-01-30
Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 2293. Brandt, P. Jan. 30. Flexible - chamber pumps.-Relates to hydraulic and pneumatic apparatus comprising bellows chambers, or chambers with flexible walls connecting rigid ends, and consists essentially in improvements upon the known method of increasing the strength of the flexible wall by engirdling the same with annular hoops or rings. According to the invention, annular strengthening - hoops are connected together so as to preserve uniform or substantiallyuniform distances between them during the expansion of the chamber, or they are replaced by helical coils. The invention also comprises improvements in the construction of the hoopstrengthened wall. Fig. 1 shows an hydraulic or pneumatic bellows press, the flexible wall of which is engirdled by metal hoops 6. To keep the distances between the hoops uniform during expansion, the hoops are inter-connected by parallelograms of rods pivoted to each other and to pins 7 fixed to the hoops along vertical lines. The parallelograms may be completed or partial only, numerous examples of a suitable construction being given. The expansion of the chamber is limited by the maximum extension of the parallelograms. If exact uniformity of distances is not essential, the hoops may be connected by wide strips of leather, or by separate chain links coacting with pins arranged along helical lines. One or more helical coils may be used in place of hoops, and they may be parallel or cross each other. The hoops may be of circular, rectangular, T-shape, or of any other desired cross-section. Fig. 13 shows the continuous flexible wall 6 of a press fastened by an adhesive to the hoops 5. Fig. 14 shows a stronger construction, in which flexible strips 6 are fastened by an adhesive to annular disks 5, the fastening being strengthened by clamping-rings 11. Preferably, however, clamping- rings are dispensed with in favour of a large adhesive area. The strips are attached so that in the fully-collapsed position they remain entirely within the disks. Fig. 15 shows a construction with concentric chambers. Fluid is distributed, and its pressure equalized in the chambers, by means of pressure distributors and regulators of the kind described in Specification 20,728/08. As each strip is subjected only to the difference between the pressures on opposite sides thereof, machines of large diameter for high pressures may be readily made on this principle. The bellows may be constructed as a removable part of the apparatus.

Behenolic acid ; stearolic acid ; carboxylic acids. -Acids of the general formula CnH2 n-4O2 are obtained from natural oils containing glycerides of acids of the oleic series. In an example olive or sweet almond oil is brominated at a low temperature, and then boiled under pressure with alcoholic potash, the product, after removal of potassium bromide and alcohol, being converted into crude stearolic acid by mineral acid. The impure acid is converted in alcoholic solution into its acid potassium salt, which is sparingly soluble. This, on treatment with mineral acid, yields pure stearolic acid. Behenolic acid can be similarly obtained from rape-seed oil, and other acids of the series from the corresponding oils.

Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-A multi-compartment magazine, rotatable in an horizontal plane about a vertical axis to bring any desired set of bobbins 17, Figs. 1 and 2, into position over the shuttle box 5, comprises vertically' extending compartments 16 having guideways 16', 16<2> for the bobbin butts and tips respectively. The compartments 16 are secured to arms 15<1> on a sleeve 15 loosely mounted on a vertical stud 13. A lever 19 mounted on a stud 20 on each compartment has bobbin-supporting pins 21, 21'. When the transferrer 8 moves upwards, it operates an arm 19<2> and thus rocks the lever 19 against the action of a spring coiled round the stud 20, the lower pin releasing the lowest bobbin, which falls down on to supporting-levers 23, while the upper pin supports the next bobbin until the transferrer moves down again, when the bobbin is supported by the lower pin. Each pair of levers 23 are pivoted on the enlarged head 25<1> of a vertical rod 25, which is guided by a guideway 16<3>, and is normally pressed upwards by a spring 26, so that rounded parts 23<2> on the levers 23 normally engage the enlarged portion 16<a> of the guideway, and the levers 23 are retained in their closed position to support the bobbin 17. When the transferrer descends, the levers 23 and rod 25 are moved downwards and the'rounded parts 23<2> pass on to the reduced portion of the guideway, thus allowing the levers 23 to release the bobbin. The weft ends from each compartment are placed between two wires 27, 28, of which the wire 27 may be covered with felt &c. When one compartment is empty, the magazine is turned by hand to the next compartment, and it may be held in position by a spring-actuated lever 29 provided with a roll 30 engaging one of the recesses 31' in a disk secured to the sleeve 15. In a modification, the transferrer arm is located within the central portion of the magazine. Bobbins provided with weft of different colours may be used in the magazine, which is then connected with the change-boxes or with a supplementary pattern surface.
