Abstract: 13,190. Fleury, P., and Morin, [known as Gauthier], H. Dec. 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Variable-speed toothed gearing. - Relates to driving-gear of the kind in which the driving- shaft c passes first through a hollow worm or other member a actuating the differential gear d and then to the change-speed gear, and comprises an arrangement in which the secondary shaft of the change-speed gear is stationary on the direct drive. The driving-shaft carries a loose gear-wheel j and also two slidably-keyed wheels h, i. The secondary shaft l carries a slidably-keyed wheel k normally in mesh with the wheel j, and has also three wheels n, o, p fixed on the shaft. For the top speed, the wheel h is moved to the left until clutch teeth s thereon engage with the wheel and lock it to the driving-shaft; at the same time the wheel k is moved to the right out of gear with the wheel j, and so the shaft l is stationary. The lower speeds and the reverse are obtained by sliding the wheels h, i into mesh with the wheels n, o, or an intermediate wheel always in gear with the wheel p.

Title: A New or Improved Submarine Photographic Apparatus.
Inventor: MELLERSH-JACKSON WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: G03B17/08
Filed: 1913-11-15
Granted: 1914-02-19
Abstract: 26,276. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Hirsch & F³rst]. Nov. 15. Submarine p h o t ography; tell-tale apparatus. - A submarine photographic apparatus comprises a load-body 1, Fig. 1, adapted to be lowered into the water and carrying hermetically-enclosed cameras 9, the shutter - releasing devices 10 of which are released either automatically by the impact of the load-body with the ground &c. or electro-magnetically at any desired depth. Flash-light devices 37 are simultaneously ignited, either by the impact, or electrically, and the apparatus is automatically raised to the surface by the discharge of air into a buoy, after the photograph has been taken. The shutter - releasing mechanism, Fig. 2, comprises a weighted lever 20, which moves downwards by its inertia when the loadbody strikes an obstruction and thus releases a spring-urged dog 21, 26, which then depresses the shutter-release 10, the shutter reclosing after the required exposure. The flash-light mechanism comprises a similarly released spring- actuated dog, which carries matches adapted to move over a friction surface and then ignite the flash-light cartridge 37. Photographs may be taken at any required depth by energizing electro - magnets mounted under the inertia levers. The load-body is suspended by chains 41 from a buoy, which is adapted to sink with the apparatus. When the load - body is arrested, however, the removal of tension on a cable 51 effects the opening of a spring-pressed valve on the outlet of a compressed-air reservoir, which then discharges into the buoy to drive out water contained therein and cause the apparatus to rise after the photograph has been taken.

When it is desired to vary the temperature of the dough, the scales b, c may be made relatively movable, an indicator on the scale b being set opposite to the number on the scale c equal to the temperature of the dough.

Title: Improved Process for Carotting Fur and Hair.
Inventor: PARIS LOUIS FRANCOIS
IPC: D01C3/00
Filed: 1914-03-03
Granted: 1914-05-07
Abstract: 5409. Paris, L. F. March 5, 1913, [Convention date]. Furs and furriery.-Hair and fur for felt manufacture is carrotted by the compounds arising from an aqueous solution of nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride, a metallic nitrite, and a metallic hypochlorite, the last two preferably being sodium salts. The Specification contains the proportions for preparing fluids for yellow and pale carrotting and it is shown that these contain a double chloride of nitrosyl and zinc, nitrous anhydride, and a small excess of nitric and hydrochloric acids. The carrotting-fluid is such that it allows hat " pull overs " to be fulled without the use of sulphuric acid. The brushing and stoving of the skins are carried out as in the case of mercurial carrotting, and any neutral salt may be added to the solution to give the hair a glossy appearance and protect the skin against mites. A barium or strontium salt is preferably used. as these precipitate the free or combined sulphuric acid, the presence of which is due to the use of impure commercial products and renders it difficult to use the skin cuttings for glue manufacture.

Abstract: 6022. Keeson, H. V. Cuthbert-. April 22. Projectiles.-Relates to projectiles so constructed. as to prevent ricochet on striking water. According to this invention, the front of the projectile, which has an inverted conoidal member, is covered by a perforated contour cap into which, when the projectile grazes, water is admitted but cannot escape, thereby bursting the cap and exposing the front of the projectile. The perforated cap 1 is held on by a screw 10 mounted on a pillar 4, which extends from the conoidal member 5 and is weakened at the base 7. A circular channel is formed between the member 5 and the end 6 of the body of the projectile. A valvular lining 3 consisting of layers of canvas or silk is clamped between the screw 10 and an inertia member 9, which rests upon sleeves 8 surrounding the pillar. During flight, the lining bulges out into the perforations 12 and fills them up. The holes 12 are inclined as shown, so as to scoop up the water, which, after passing into the cap, is shut in by the valvular lining. The Provisional Specification states also that, for protection during handling, two spring wire hoops are provided over the cap.
