Abstract: 5411. B³hler, Geb. June 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Pneumatic separating; sifting - apparatus combined with pneumatic separators. - Relates to cleaning - machines i n which dust, fibre, &c. are removed from granular material and the like by air currents induced by suction while the material is passing over a sieve, and consists in providing means whereby the draught of air is made stronger from the inlet side towards the outlet side of each sieve compartment. The spaces 7, Figs. 1 and 2, above the sieve 8 communicate with the main air chamber 5 by openings controlled by slides 6 constructed so as to expose less opening at the inlet side of each sieve compartment 1, 2, 3, 4 than towards the outlet side. Instead of a single slide 6 for each compartment, several adjustable slides, doors, or the like may be arranged longitudinally of each compartment. For guiding the air currents, especially in the last sieve compartments, the space over one and the same compartment is divided up longitudinally by fixed or loose partition walls,

Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement of; propelling.-The machine is provided with one or more pairs of flapping wings A operated by cranks B, connecting-rods D and arms C fixed to the wings. In the construction shown, there are three pairs of wings, the front and rear pair being smaller than, and working in opposite phase to, the middle pair. In case of break down of the engine, the wings can by means of a handwheel be brought into position to act as fixed supporting-planes to effect a descent. Steering.-A head H', comprising horizontal and vertical surfaces fixed together and a horizontal tail T' are provided. The head is capable of lateral movement about a vertical pivot I on a frame which is hinged at G to the machine frame for vertical movement. The tail can be given a vertical movement about hinges N and a movement about a longitudinal pivot O, as seen in Fig. 4. The head and tail are simultaneously actuated in the vertical direction by the similar movement of a rod Q connected to the rods Y, Z. Lateral movement of the head is effected by twisting the rod Q, which rotates the cross-bar K to which the rods Y are connected. To turn the tail about the pivot O, the rod Z which has a swivel joint at M is turned by a cross-rod R<1> and chain R.

Abstract: 13,104. Tschorner, L. June 30, 1909, [Convention date]. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces. - In an electrical method of duplicating autotypes, a point contact on the original closes a line circuit for a time depending upon the size of the dot, and the line current operates an optical shutter at the reproducing-station. The drum carrying the autotype is continuously rotated, but the receiving-drum remains stationary while the light-shutter is in operation, so as to form points varying in magnitude in accordance with the duration of the contact closed at the original, the receiving drum being fed by ratchet mechanism at each break in the circuit. The conducting portions of the picture duplicated, say an autotype gelatine copy, complete the line circuit through a contact pin b, Fig. 2, which is fed laterally by a ratchet z and spring- driven cam y each time a tappet o on the drum a releases a catch p. The line-circuit at the receiving-station includes the magnets f, m, Figs. 3 and 4, of which the magnet f controls the light-shutter g, and the magnet m the ratchet feed of the drum l. The light from the lamp i passes through an aperture k in the casing j and through a slot 3 in the main casing q. The slot 3 is covered on both sides of the casing j by flexible blinds 4, which are displaced in guides 5 by the lateral feed of the casing j. The lamp i is arranged so as to produce a ray of light decreasing in luminosity towards the outside, whereby a smaller or larger dot is produced according to the duration of exposure of the film. The casing j is fed laterally in the same manner as the contact-pin b. When the line circuit is broken, the drum l is rotated by a ratchet u through a distance equivalent to the distance between successive dots on the transmitting-autotype. In order to ensure synchronism of the transmitter and receiver, in spite of defects in the transmitting- autotype, special interrupters are provided so as to make and break the line-circuit independently of the autotype on the drum a.

Transparent materials.- Relates to the method of making compound sheets comprising two glass sheets with a sheet of gelatine &c. secured between, as described in Specification 1790/10. The gelatine is preferably bleached and rendered supple by the addition of albumen, protein, and fibrin approximately in the following proportions:-Gelatine 100 parts, albumen and fabrin 10 parts each, protein 5 parts, to which mixture 10 per cent of glycerine is added to give greater flexibility. Instead of the above, a solution of gelatine and celluloid or collodion .in acetic acid may be used. The above mixtures may be poured on to one sheet of glass, dried, and the surface softened by means of acetic acid, after which the second sheet of glass is superposed and secured by pressure. Sheets of the above mixture for subsequent insertion between glass sheets may be obtained by pouring the solution on to glass sheets and stripping when dry. Sheets of gelatine immersed in a solution of celluloid or collodion, or celluloid immersed in a solution of gelatine, may be secured, while wet, between sheets of glass; or the sheets may be dried and afterwards secured between glass by pressure after softening the surfaces by means of acetic acid. Heat may be applied with the pressure to facilitate removal of the solvent. To prevent entrance of air between the sheets, the gelatine &c. may be softened by treatment with acetic acid vapour; or the edges of the compound sheet may be luted with paraffin etc.; or the sheet of gelatine may be of slightly smaller dimensions than the glass so as to leave a margin around the edges which may be luted.
