Patent GB-191208251-A (GB)
Title: A Machine for Printing Upon Warps.
Inventor: EVANS WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1912-04-04
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 8251. Evans, W. E., [Hallensleben, 0.]. April 4. Printing yarns &c.-In a machine for printing on warps, of the kind in which a frame 1 moving intermittently in the direction of length of the threads 3 carries several sets of printing- apparatus 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 which may be moved transversely across the warps 3 under the control of jacquard mechanism 7 to print in different colours, the operating-devices for the frame 1 are thrown out of gear when one or more of the printing-devices 13 &c. are caused to act, but not otherwise, and are thrown into gear when all the printing-devices have acted. The warps 3 are supported on a wire or other large mesh netting or frame 3<a> to prevent their displacement or sagging, and the printing- devices preferably each comprise rollers 14, 15, printing above and below the warps, and inked by a roller 16 running along the bottom of the ink trough 18. The frame 1, supported by rollers 2 travelling on rails 4, is moved step by step through ratchet mechanism, to the left of Fig. 2, until one of the rods 7 controlled by the jacquard mechanism tilts one of the levers 8 each of which controls the movement of a printing-device 14, 15, &c. through a chain 10 and lever 11. When this lever is dropped as is shown in one instance in Fig. 2, and in Fig. 1, a pawl 23 on a continuously reciprocating frame 22 is able to engage a pin 24 on the printing- device, which is thus reciprocated. Several of the printing - devices may be thus put into action simultaneously. A catch 9 holds the lever 8 in its tilted position. The lever 8 also operates a chain 25, which turns a bar 27 and thereby operates, through levers 28, a link 29, and a shaft 31, devices to hold out of action the pawl which drives the frame 1. This frame therefore remains stationary while one or more of the printing-devices are being reciprocated. The bar 27 also operates controlling-mechanism for determining when the reciprocation of the printing-devices shall be stopped and the movement of the frame 1 re-started. When the bar 27 is turned as before described, it operates through devices 43, 44 a cam 46 which releases a pawl 54. This pawl operates a ratchet-wheel 47 having cam surfaces 48, one of which engages a roller 49 on a lever 50 and thus moves a bar 52 having pins 53, which release any of the catches 9 that may be holding levers 8 in their depressed positions.. The levers 8 are then returned by springs 62 to put the printing-devices out of operation and turn the bar 27 so that the operating-devices of the frame 1 are re-started, and the pawl 54 of the controlling-mechanism is rendered inoperative.

Title: Improvements in the Electrolytic Production of Hydrosulphites.
IPC: C25B1/14

Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 13,901. Akt.-Ges. f³r Anilin-Fabrikation. July 6, 1912, [Convention date]. Hyposulphites and chlorine, obtaining; electrolytes, circulating.-Hyposulphites are produced at a low temperature, generally below 15‹ C., by cathode reduction of bisulphite solutions, to which neutral salts such as sulphites, chlorides, or sulphates may be added. Preferably the concentration of the bisulphite is low, and is maintained during the electrolysis by addition of solid or dissolved bisulphite, or of an acid. If sulphurous acid is used for this purpose, the electrolysis may be begun with a solution of a neutral salt only. Any number of cells may be connected to a tank, which always contains the greater part, say 80 per cent, of the circulating cathode liquid. To avoid interruption, two tanks may be used alternately. Acid may be added to the electrolyte passing into the cells, and alkali such as sodium carbonate to that returning to the tank. The hyposulphite obtained may be sufficiently concentrated to crystallize, the mother liquor being returned to the circulation system. Alternatively, the cathode liquid may pass through a number of cells in succession, in some cases with addition of acid at intervals, so as to leave the last one at the required concentration; the cells are preferably connected in parallel electrically, so that the currents are proportional to the depolarization in the different cells. To prevent migration of sulphite and hyposulphite ions towards the anode, especially when chlorine is to be obtained as a by-product, liquid may be forced continually towards the cathode through one or more diaphragms, or a separate liquid may be circulated through a space between two diaphragms.

Granted: 1914-12-10
Abstract: 28,681. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. Dec. 12. Tell-tale apparatus for signalling the readings of range-finders is arranged so that the movement of the measuring-mechanism of the rangefinder operates a commutating-mechanism, which is capable of movement through more than one complete revolution, and thereby causes the receiving-apparatus to move and to send back currents to the transmitting-apparatus to drive the commutator to its normal position. The working head 5 of the range-finder drives the member 1 of a differential gear 1, 2, 3, the member 2 of which drives the shaft 9. The shaft 9 rotates a drum commutator 10 and causes the gear 15 to move the brush 18 along the worm 17. This brush 18 is connected to the battery so that when it leaves the insulating- part 19, current is supplied over one of the brushes C<1>, C<2> to the receiving-magnets 36, 37. The receiving-apparatus is of the kind described in Specification 15,480/10, [Class 97(i), Optical systems &c.], and comprises a constantly-driven shaft 20 fixed to the member 21 of a differential gear. The other members 22, 23 of this gear are connected to gear-wheels 24, 25 respectively. The gear-wheel 24 drives the member 29 of another differential gear through wheels 26, 27, and the gear-wheel 25 drives the member 30 of this gear through a wheel 28. The third member 31 of this differential gear is attached to the shaft 32 of a transmitting-apparatus 38 and an indicating-apparatus 39. The gearwheels 27, 28 drive flies 33, 34, which are adapted to be held against rotation by an armature 35. When the magnet 36 is energized and the fly 34 is held, the gear 31 drives the shaft 32, and the apparatus 38 supplies current to an apparatus 12 to cause a rotation of the gear 11 and hence to drive the gear 2 and shaft 9 back until the brush 18 is again in normal position. Specification 4422/06 also is referred to.
