Title: An Improved Method of Removing Nicotin from Tobacco.
Inventor: SARTIG JOHANNES
IPC: A24B15/24
Filed: 1910-05-09
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 11,460. Sartig, J. May 9. Tobacco is denicotinized in closed vessels, where the air is rarefied, by means of low-pressure steam at a temperature below 100‹ C., condensation of the steam in the tobacco being prevented by jacketing the vessels. Steam is generated in the vessel 2 by means of a hot-water jacket 1, and passes over to the chamber 11 in which the tobacco is hung or placed. The products then pass through a cooler C, and a condenser D. The air-pump E withdraws the distillate and diminishes the pressure in the closed vessels. Any bound nicotine in the tobacco may be freed by treatment with ammonia. The nicotine may be recovered from the distillate in any known manner, for example, the nicotine may be bound with dilute acids.

Abstract: 20,484. Fries, A. de. Sept. 2. Forging bolts; forging-dies.-Screw bolts with angular or grooved shoulders below their heads are made from blanks with a cylindrical or polygonal shoulder by radial pressure or pressures, the reciprocating tools being fed radially, or the bolt being fed axially. The blanks 2 are taken from a shoot 3, Fig. 4, by spring tongs 68 operated by a series of cam-grooves 12, 13, 130, on a driven ring 4. As the tongs 68 are withdrawn, the blank is held by adjustable dies 22, 23, 24, 25, Fig. 4, which are operated by cams 15, 16, 17 and rollers 39 to shape the shoulder into the desired form. During this operation, the blank is held by pressure on its head from an adjustable die 45, Fig. 7, which is actuated by cams 8, 11 through a lever 55. The die 45 is withdrawn by the weight of the lever 55 or by a spring, and the dies 22, 23, 24, 25 are withdrawn by springs or by cams 20, 21 and levers 42. In a modification, Figs. 5 and 6, the blanks b are taken from a shoot 95 by one of the forging-dies 82, carried to a central position b<2>, where the shoulder is formed by the dies 80, 81, 82, 83 actuated by cams 88 on shafts 84.

Abstract: 23,494. Marmonier, L. Jan. 16, [Convention date]. Gyroscopic apparatus. - In apparatus for securing longitudinal stability of an aeroplane by utilizing relative movement between a stabilizing-base and some part of the aeroplane to bring stabilizing-members into action in which the stabilizing-base comprises gyroscopic pendulums 1, 2 suspended in a cardan frame, means are provided for compensating for the reactions due to inertia and vis viva consisting in rendering the immovable member 15 of the stabilizing - base independent of the cardan frame 9 and in maintaining the said member 15 immovable by subjecting it to opposite reactions derived from the deflection of the cardan frame under the influence of the inertia of the pendulums, and from the precessional movements of the gyroscopes respectively. The member 15 is freely mounted on the trunnion 10, and the reaction due to the deflexion of the frame 9 is communicated to it through an arm 26, a shaft 25, and a bevel-pinion 27; the reaction generated by the gyroscopes is communicated from the slotted levers 16, 17, which displace the pivot 21 and thus rotate the bevelpinion 27 through the arm 23, the sector 24 and the shaft 25. The epicycloidal movement thus given to the pinion 27 around the pinion 28 maintains the member 15 immovable. The asynchronism of the aforesaid two reactions may be compensated for by a reversible servomotor carried by the cardan frame 9 and rendered integral with the member 15 by a mechanical transmission. The servo - motor is driven by the gyroscopic re-action by means of appropriate parts and rotates in an appropriate direction and at an adjustable speed for displacing the member 15 in a direction opposite to that which the frame 9 tends to impart to it, the member 15 being thus maintained immovable. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the application of similar means to the above for compensating for the reactions due to inertia and vis viva in a stabilizing-base consisting of a single gyroscope used to ensure both longitudinal and transverse equilibrium simultaneously. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
