Inventor: ZIEGLER LUDWIG ANDREAS
Filed: 1904-05-21
Granted: 1905-03-23
Abstract: 11,689. Ziegler, L. A. May 21. Transferring designs; transfers.-A tanning material such as quebracho extract, tannic acid, chromium salts, alum, &c. is employed, either in the dry state or as an aqueous solution, to transfer designs, pictures, &c. to the surface of pottery, stoneware, or other materials. The transfer is saturated with au aqueous solution of the tanning- material, the article moistened by the same solution, and the design pressed on to the surface. The tanning-material may also be applied in powdered form while the ink is moist, and the design transferred by means of water. Two coats of varnish may be applied to the transfer, the latter of which is dusted over with powdered tanning-material. The powdered material may also be mixed with turpentine or lavender oil and added to the ink or varnish before use. The paper may also be saturated with tanning-material, or the tanning- material may be introduced into the paper pulp during manufacture.

Inventor: HILLS HORACE GASTINEAU
Filed: 1904-05-21
Granted: 1905-04-06
Abstract: 11,719. Hills, H. G., and Schill, C. H. May 21. Gas-producers.-Relates to the construction and working of producer-gas generators of the type described in Specifications No. 17,762, A.D. 1900, and No. 18,867, A.D. 1902. The metal case a contains in its upper part a steam-raising device consisting of chequerwork v and w, preferably of cast-iron bars and firebrick respectively. The chimney f is connected to a suction fan g, or steam ejector or blower, and contains a movable valve h or equivalent device which can be moved from outside the chimney. The outlet i for ashes is preferably water sealed. The air inlet k, which communicates through the annular space l with ports m, and the inlet q, which communicates with ports r, are provided with non-return valves s. The outlet n, fitted with a non-return valve o, communicates through washing or scrubbing devices with a gas holder, and lidded holes p are provided for poking. The steam-raising device is connected by a pipe t and cock u with a water supply, such as from a tank. The top of the gas holder is connected by mechanism to the valve h and the cock u, the valve being opened and the cock closed when the holder is raised to its utmost limit, the reverse actions taking place when the holder has sunk to a certain point. Other suitable means for controlling the alternations may be employed, such as a timing-device worked by the motor which drives the fan as described in Specification No. 18,867, A.D. 1902. In starting, the valve h is kept open and the cock u closeduntil the steam-raising device is sufficiently hot, when the mechanism is connected and the alternate operations of gas making and blowing proceed. The gas passes away through washing or scrubbing devices.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Treatment of Milk
Inventor: KENNEDY SAMUEL RIDGWAY
Filed: 1904-09-20
Granted: 1904-10-20
Abstract: 20,291. Kennedy, S. R. Sept. 20. Drawings to Specification. Sizes and similar finishes.-For the production of condensed milk, milk sugar, and certain other products, pasteurized milk is concentrated in a vacuum pan to a density of from 11‹-27‹ BÚ. and cooled, and the sugar of milk and the salts which crystallize out are separated from the liquid by filtration. The concentrated liquid, from which the milk sugar &c. has been separated, constitutes an evaporated cream. It may be returned to the vacuum pan and fine jets of steam at 100 pounds pressure or hot air blown through it, and the vacuum afterwards increased to remove all deleterious odours. The condensed product thus obtained can be used for making ice-creams or in the arts, as in paper-making.

Filed: 1905-01-04
Granted: 1905-05-11
Abstract: 202. Sturtevant, T. L., and Sturtevant, T. J. Jan. 4. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. Fig. 1 shows a carburettor of inverted U-section, in which hydrocarbons are admitted to the limb 5, through the conical valve 6 from the float chamber 2. The position of the valve 6 is adjusted by means of the screwed head 8, which is sufficiently large to enable the valve to be withdrawn from the carburettor. The air supply through the inlet 9 is controlled by the suction-operated valve 10, the spindle 11 of which carries an arm having a roller 13, Fig. 3, which bears against a spring- controlled lever 12. A spring 16 keeps the roller in contact with the lever 12, the resistance of the lever to the opening of the valve decreasing as the valve opens and increases, the distance between the point of contact of the roller and the pivot of the lever at the same time increasing. The cone of gauze wire in the limb 21 completely atomizes the mixture and prevents explosions from taking place in the carburettor. A throttle valve 18 and a by-pass 19 are provided in the chamber 17 as shown in Fig. 1.

Title: Improvements in Sheet Assembling Devices for Folding Machines
Filed: 1905-11-28
Granted: 1906-11-28
Abstract: 24,610. Lake, H. H., [Cottrell & Sons Co., C. B.]. Nov. 28. Folding paper; delivery apparatus; feeding sheets. -Relates to means for associating sheets from different sources, such as from two printing- machines, preparatory to folding, one product being supplied in the form of a continuous web and the other as a pile of cut sheets. The pile 16, Fig. 5, of cut sheets is supported on a table 15, and the top sheet is fed off over supports 50 by a feeder 45 operated by a cam 46. The sheet is conveyed forward by tapes 74 until the front half of the sheet rests on tapes 76. It is then folded through a slotted plate 67 and between folding-rollers 69, 69*, by a blade 68, carried on a shaft 70 and operated by a cam 71 on shaft 32. The folded sheet is then taken by tapes 75, running on pulleys 42 and delivered over fingers 43, carried by a shaft 44 to the associating-drum 17. The sheet is fed over the fingers 43 by rollers 47, the upper one of which is carried by an arm 55 on a shaft 56, and is raised to release the sheet by means of an arm 59, link 58, and cam 57. Simultaneously, a stop 49 on a shaft 60 is depressed temporarily to arrest the sheet by means of an arm 61, link 62, and arm 63 on the shaft 56. The roller 47 and stop 49 are controlled by a spring 64. The associating-drum 17 is provided with three sets of grippers 21, 22, 23 of the usual type, opened at intervals by suitablyoperated cam-surfaces. The grippers are opened, to receive the sheet delivered by the tapes 75, by a cam 28 on a lever 29, mounted on a pivot 30 and operated by a rod 36 and cam 31 on the shaft 32, which is geared with the drum 17 so as to revolve once to two thirds of a revolution of the drum. Each alternate set of grippers is thus opened to receive a cut sheet when in the position of the grippers 22. When in the position 21, each set of grippers is opened by a stationary cam 24 onthe bracket 19 to receive a sheet 8, cut from the web 14 by cutters 13 on shafts 12, and in the position 23 each alternate set is opened to deposit the associated sheets on the table 11 by a cam-surface, operated in a similar manner to the cam 28, from the shaft 32. The operation of the machine is as follows :-One of the sets of grippers, as it is opened by the cam 24, receives a sheet 8 from the web. The grippers then pass the position 23 without opening, and on reaching the uppermost position are opened by the cam 28 to receive a sheet previously folded by the blade 68. When they again reach the position first-mentioned, a second sheet is taken from the web. The superposed sheets-one folded sheet 16 between two sheets 8 from the web-are deposited on the table 11, by the grippers being opened in the position 23, and may be conveyed to folding or other apparatus. The grippers then pass the position 22 without opening, and commence a new cycle of operations at the position 21. In a modification, the sheet 16 is assembled with the sheets cut from the web without previous folding, the folding-apparatus 68-69* being in this case dispensed with.
