Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 1517. Lamplough, F. Jan. 20. Lever - actuated pumps; stroke, varying; valve-gear.-Fuel is injected into the cylinder a of an internal-combustion engine by a pump plunger f actuated, through a bell-crank lever h and slide i, by a tapered cam j, which may be moved by hand or by a governor to vary the stroke of the pump. The cam may also be adjusted for timing the admission of fuel. On the pump suction stroke, fuel under air pressure enters a tube c<1> and passes a valve e and through openings d<1> to the pump chamber. On the forcing stroke, the spring-loaded piston d and its grooved needle valve d<2> are lifted, and fuel is injected into the cylinder. The plunger f is returned by a spring g.

Title: Process for Detanning Leather.
Inventor: MANNS ALBERT GEORGE
IPC: C09H1/04
Filed: 1910-03-12
Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 6268. Manns, A.G. March 12. Processes and materials for treating hides and skins.-Chrome-tanned leather is detanned and rendered suitable for making glue or gelatine, retannage, or for use as a food, by means of very weak alkalis and acids, the tanning-agents being recovered for use again. The leather is softened with hot water, and treated with a weak alkaline solution, preferably lime water, of a maximum strength of about 0À18 per cent, with or without a subsequent washing. It is then freed from the lime water and treated with a weak sulphuric or sulphurous acid to dissolve out the chromium, the acid having an effective strength, over and above that necessary for neutralizing the alkali remaining in the material, of not less than two per cent and not more than ten per cent. The acid is drained off and the leather is washed, after which the remaining acid is neutralized with a weak alkali, preferably lime water. The chromium may be recovered from the acid which is drawn off. When freshly tanned hides are detanned with the object of retanning them by a different process, the initial water soakage may be omitted.

Abstract: 10,380. Purves, T. H. April 28. Pressure-regulating valves.-A gas governor of the type comprising a tubular sliding valve connected to and operated by a flexible diaphragm is arranged so that the gas from the inlet a<1>, Fig. 2, first enters the space below the diaphragm C, then enters the valve tube D, and, passing through apertures therein, forms a cushion above the diaphragm, the main part of the gas passing away through the valve closure at the top of the tube. The valve tube D slides within an apertured bush E screwed to the web G, and is secured to the diaphragm by means of a screwed flanged fitting K<1>, f<1>. A regulator J, Fig. 5, is arranged under the lower flange f<2> of the valve tube to vary the opening thereof. For high pressures, coned valve faces are formed at e<2>, Fig. 3, and an adjustable top G<2> is fitted to the bush E, so that, when the valve at the top of the tube is nearly closed, the coned faces contact with each other, thereby preventing gas from leaking along the outside of the tube.

Abstract: 11,332. Andrews, R. D. May 8, 1909, [Convention date]. Kites; planes, arrangement and construction of.-An arrangement of supporting-surfaces converging towards the supporting air is described in connexion with kites although it is applicable also to power-driven machines. The kite is constructed of a main curved rib 3 and a transverse curved rib 5, the two being spaced apart by a strut 7, hinged to the rib 3 and detachably secured to the rib 5. The fabric 1 is detachably secured to the ribs and has a central opening 2. The arrangement of the ribs is such that, when the kite is flying, the fabric forms a hopper with the opening 2 as the base. To assist in this formation, the lateral sides of the opening are connected by straps or by a spreader rib 9. The whole device may be collapsed and folded up. A theoretical investigation into the action on the air of such an arrangement of planes, directed to show that automatic stability is obtained, is embodied in the Specification.

Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 27,753. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, Kieffer, E. O., and Vernon, W. F. Nov. 29. Direct explosion apparatus.-The combustion chamber or air-vessel of direct explosion pumps is provided with a spherical float valve which shuts off communication between the play-pipe and the combustion chamber or air-vessel when the water level falls to a certain level therein. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the float valve d has a seating d<1> in a partition e supported by springs g. The float is limited in its upper position by a spring-controlled plate m. The water-supply valve k is situated in the play-pipe beyond the partition e, so that water is drawn in after the valve d is shut by reason of the continued movement of the column of liquid in the play-pipe. In a modification, the valve k, Fig. 2, is formed as a piston valve and is integral with the resilient partition. The valve d has a stem t carrying a head and spring which by contact with a stop t<1> limits the upper position of the valve. To guide the valve d, a cage of three or four rods extending from the partition is provided. In installations possessing an air-vessel, a partition and float valve are provided for it similar to that used in the combustion chamber.

Abstract: 27,931. Schwerin, Graf B. Jan. 25, [Convention date]. [Addition to 3364/11.] Electric apparatus. - In the separation cf solid substances from each other and from water by electric endosmose, with the addition of an electrolyte, as described in the parent Specification, certain substances of feeble electro-chemical character are found to collect at the electrodes in a very wet and non-adherent condition. To avoid this, a colloidal substance of pronounced electro-chemical character, for instance humic or silicic acid or aluminium hydrate, is added before the electrical treatment. For example, a little sodium silicate may be added to kaolin suspended in water; coarse particles then fall to the bottom, and the application of electricity causes a rapid separation of comparatively dry matter at the anode.
