Abstract: 22,576. Arnold, E. G., and Atkin, A. O. Oct. 13. Rope grips.-The sliding upper jaw A of a haulage clip is forced on to the rope E by a cam-lever B coupled at its outer end to the wagon &c., the pivot C of the lever being movable to and from the rope by a link L operated by a hand-lever K. The coupling- lever B is formed at its outer end as a hook D and is pivoted on pins C working in slots in front and back plates G, G' between which the lever moves. The back plate G is flanged at its lower edge to form the lower jaw F and is fitted with vertical guideways J to receive the jaw A.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a Process for the Manufacture of Lakes from Vegetable Material Containing the Dye in the Form of Glycoside.
Inventor: HAGEN EMIL
IPC: C09B63/00
Filed: 1911-12-23
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 29,041. Hagen, E. Dec. 23. Dyes from natural products; lakes.-In order to produce lakes of the dyes which are contained as glucosides in vegetable materials, such as buckthorn berries, quercitron, or young fustic, the glucosides are hydrolyzed, for instance by means of enzymes or acids, and the dyes so produced are converted into lakes by treatment with alkaline-earth or heavy metal salts. A suitable enzyme is that contained in the capsule of the buckthorn berry. The hydrolysis of the glucoside and the formation of lake may be effected in one operation; according to an example, crushed buckthorn berries are treated with a solution of alum, aluminium acetate or sulphate, or magnesium sulphate, and the resulting yellow lake is separated by sieving. The products may be used for colouring food &c. or in the textile industries.

Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 132. Wilson, J., and Reah, W. June 28. Overwinding, preventing; emergency power cut-off gear.-In apparatus for preventing overwinding and overspeeding of winding- engines &c., a slowlyrotating toothed disk a o r a longitudinallymoving slide is provided with adjustable end sections a<3> having teeth of gradually-increasing height, which, if the engine speed is excessive, engage the free end of an arm b moving up and down with the sleeve of the governor d. The disk is driven so as to make rather less than one revolution per wind. When the arm b is rocked in either direction by engaging the disk, a linkage e, f, g is operated, so as to rotate a rectangular block secured to an arm h. This block spreads the spring suspending-arms i and allows a weighted lever j<1> to rock a shaft j<2>. An arm on the shaft j<2> actuates the throttle valve through a slotted link, and a second arm on the shaft opens the admission valve on the steam brake cylinder. In a modified form of trip gear shown in Fig. 4, the link e actuates a three-armed lever r<2>, which, when rocked in either direction, engages and lifts pins s<8> on a slide s, thereby releasing the weighted lever j<1>. A suitable form of steam brake comprises blocks attached to posts pivoted at their lower ends and connected above the drum by a link and bell-crank lever, which is actuated either by a steam cylinder, or by a pedal, acting through levers and links.

Abstract: 241. Tombelaine, A. L. Jan. 4, 1911, [Convention date]. Miners' safety lamps. -A screen for miners' lamps consists of a thick metal cylinder 4, upon two faces of which grooves 6, 7 are formed, their intersections forming apertures 9 for the passage of the gases. In the form shown, the outer grooves 7 are vertical and the inner grooves 6 are helicoidal. The cylinder 4 is closed at the top by a plate 5, similarly provided with perforations 12 obtained by forming grooves 10, 11 in the two faces. The screen may be combined with ordinary gauzes 18, 19, and a steel shield 8, which may be corrugated to give a large cooling-surface, and has outlets 25. The air-admission ring 2 is a metal cylinder formed in the same manner as the cylinder 4, and two ordinary gauzes are fixed inside it. In a modification, Fig. 3, the screen is constituted by two series of metal washers 20, 21 arranged concentrically, the inner series having radial lugs 26 projecting between and separating the outer washers. Ordinary gauzes are arranged inside or outside the washers. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also a screen composed of two concentric cylinders, each having helicoidal or circular slots separated by solid portions. The slots in the two cylinders are relatively staggered. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1913-02-28
Abstract: 2405. Hamburger, A. Jan. 30. Pigments.-White lead pigments are prepared by co-precipitation of the pigment and an insoluble soap. According to an example, a solution containing sodium carbonate, caustic soda, and sodium palmitate is mixed with a solution of lead nitrate or other lead salt.

Granted: 1913-03-25
Abstract: 7106. Rowe, J. J. March 22. Variable-speed belt gearing.-An expanding pulley is supported eccentrically and entirely on the engine shaft and is driven therefrom through internal reducing-gearing. The engineshaft carries a pinion e gearing with internal teeth d formed on one part a of the pullev which revolves on an eccentric boss b supported by the pinion. The sliding flange a<1> of the pulley hears against a ring b<1> screwed on to the ' boss b. A worm-wheel i fixed to the boss is engaged by a worm on a shaft j carried in a loose bracket k and passing through a lug l on the ring b<1>, so preventing rotation of the ring. When the boss b is rotated by the shaft j, the ring b<1> moves the sliding flange a<1> to alter the effective diameter of the pulley, and the pulley is moved as a whole about the engine shaft as centre to keep the belt tension constant. The upper end of the shaft is supported in a rack so that by moving this end the belt can be tensioned without altering the size of the pulley.
