Abstract: 17,952. Smith, E. Aug. 8. Cutting - out apparatus. - In cutting - out presses for use with loose knives, and particularly of the type in which the work is pressed on to stationary cutters by a platen, the cutting-bed which is adapted to receive the edges of the knives consists of a block of wood 1 which has a vertically-disposed grain and is bound near the operating-face 1<a> by an adjustable clamp-ring 2 which serves to prevent splitting or undue lateral expansion of the block. As the block wears, its edge 5 curls outwards over the ring 2, which is adapted to adjust itself automatically on the block. Additional fixed bands may be employed to bind the block.

Abstract: 14,003. Dumons, L. July 6,1912, [Convention date]. Nitrates.-Cotton is nitrated by producing a vacuum in the midst thereof and then causing the acid mixture to flow through the cotton into a receiving-vessel by means of a vacuum created in the latter, so that all the layers of the cotton are nitrated to the same extent. In the apparatus shown, the cotton is contained in a perforated basket C mounted in the nitrating- vessel B. The lower part of this vessel is connected to a vacuum vessel E, and the upper part to the receiver A for the acid. In operation, the cock R is closed, and a vacuum first created in the vessels B, E. The cock R is then opened, whereupon the acid in the receiver A flows through the cotton into the vessel E, from which it can be returned to the vessel A for reuse after the addition of strong acid. A flue F is lowered around the vessel B during the nitration process to carry off any fumes arising in raising the cover D of the nitrating-vessel. The cotton is removed in the basket C to the drying- plate, and after drying is emptied into a stream of running water.
