Inventor: ZEITSCHNER HUGO
Filed: 1905-03-14
Granted: 1906-03-14
Abstract: 5296. Zeitschner, H. March 14. Bleaching.-Textile fibres, yarns in skeins, bobbins, or cops, and fabrics are bleached with chlorine or other equivalent gaseous agent after preliminary humidifying with water vapour, and are then treated with moist hydrogen &c., thus avoiding the disadvantages of wet bleaching. The chlorine is completely removed, by the use of such dechlorinating agents as sodium hyposulphite or acetate, by the wet treatment of the material before, in connexion with or directly by the finishing operation. The material is placed in a tightly closable vat through which a current of water vapour is first driven. It is then treated with chlorine or other bleaching-gas, generated in or outside the vat, the water vapour being allowed to act with it a short time if desired. After sufficient treatment, the excess of chlorine is removed and the bleached material aired. Hydrogen and a gas which renders chlorine inactive, such as methane, are then generated in the reclosed vat, moist air being admitted at the same time. The hydrogen may be introduced from outside. The complete removal of the chlorine is effected in the usual wet finishing process.

Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 16,287. Seinescu, M., Florian, G., and Constantinescu, D. Aug. 10. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Calculating-apparatus; counting-apparatus.-In a multiple-bank, motor-operated adding-machine, the keys set pivoted teeth into position for engagement with the pinions of a totalizing-counter which is subsequently drawn past them and finally re-sets the teeth by means of threads connecting severally all those of one denomination ; transfer is effected by sliding single teeth into gear with the higher pinions, and the counter wheels are subject to a simple alining-arrangement. In the longitudinal section of Fig. 2, the highest-valve key of the bank is on the left, and the thread connexion between the pivoted teeth e ensures that, when any key is depressed so as to put the tooth below it into the operative position of Fig. 13, all the teeth to the right of it have a similar movement, suitable gaps t being formed in the plate u for the purpose. Upon the motor p being started, the sprocket-wheels k, j are rotated and the travelling band i carries the counter-wheel spindle g which is attached thereto in the direction of the arrow beneath all the active teeth, the pinions receiving one-tenth of a revolution for each tooth encountered. Resetting occurs when the spindle strikes the arms z, and moves the ball-cranks w, to which one end of the thread is attached. Fig. 14 shows the transfer arrangements, consisting of pins c<1> upon the counter wheels f adapted to slide spring-controlled single teeth d<1> laterally so as to cause a tenth-revolution of the higher pinion b<1>. Between the wheels are the alining-collar f<1>, provided each with the elastic projections engaging with corresponding recesses on the wheel bosses. The addition of complementary numbers zeroizes the counter.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Compressing Heels for Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: DENNE MARK THOMAS
Filed: 1905-10-30
Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 22,071. Denne, M. T. Oct. 30. Heels.-A heel-compressing machine is constructed so that the different sections of the mould can be readily removed and replaced when desired, and is further provided with means for the quick adjustment of the top die. The halves k<1>, Figs. 3 and 5, which compress the curved sides of the heel, are mounted in grooves in sliding blocks k, carried by a cross-piece d, which is mounted on the usual vertical pillars a and actuated by the usual toggles e. The blocks k are connected by pivoted links p to the fixed cross-head c. The flat side of the mould consists of a vertical sliding plate k<2>, mounted in the cross-piece d. The plate k<2> is normally locked in position by a sliding bolt l, but is adapted to be dropped to a position below the bottom plate j of the mould. The top die m is clamped by a long bolt x against the bottom of a screw plunger m<1>, which can be adjusted in the cross-head c by means of bevel - gearing n<2>, n<3> actuated by a hand-wheel n. A spring o is provided to take up back-lash. The bottom part j of the mould is connected by a pin v and T-slot to a plunger q, which is mounted to slide in the crosspiece d. A rod q<2>, carried by a cross-bar on the pillars a, projects upwards through the cross-piece in such a manner that the lower end of the plunger q comes into contact with it, and is arrested, during the downward movement of the cross-piece, leaving the heel free to be wiped off the plate j. For effecting this, and also for placing new heels in position, a sliding carriage r<1>, Figs. 5 and 6, is mounted on a bracket r carried by the plate k'. A new heel is introduced by hand between the fingers s<1> of two adjustable spring fingers s, and the angle-pieces t<1> of two pivoted arms t, on the carriage r', which is reciprocated through a series of links from a cam on the toggle shaft. As the carriage moves forwards, it forces the heel just operated on away rearwardly, and the heel which it carries is then nipped by the die m. The fingers s<1> spring over the plunger m<1> as the carriage returns to its former position.

Title: Improvements in Starting Devices for Explosion Motors.
Inventor: RENAULT LOUIS
Filed: 1906-03-01
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 5036. Renault, L. Sept. 15, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas and like engines, igniting in. A device for automatically starting explosion motors of the kind described in Specification No. 2627, A.D. 1906, consists of a spiral spring interposed between the driving-shaft and the shaft of the magneto armature, means being provided to compress the spring when the motor stops. A sleeve 6 is keyed to the driving-shaft 9, and one end of the spring 8 is secured to the sleeve, the other end being fastened to a drum 3. The drum 3 is provided with a flat projecting tongue 2, which engages in a groove at the extremity of the armature shaft. A spring 10 forces the drum towards the magneto 1. The end plate 4 of the drum is provided with an inclined surface in which a notch 5 is formed. A. lever 11 has a finger 12 which acts as a friction brake on the drum 3. The lever also controls the ignition circuit. The motor is stopped by moving the lever 11 to break the ignition circuit, the same movement retarding the drum 3 owing to the friction with the finger 22 and winding up the spring 8 until a stud 7 on the sleeve 6 falls into the notch 5. To start the motor, the lever 11 is moved in the reverse direction, causing the drum 3 to slip slightly on the shaft 9 and thereby releasing the notch 5 from the stud 7. The spring 8 then suddenly extends, causing the magneto armature to make a half-revolution and producing the first spark.
Patent GB-190607903-A (GB)
Title: Stop Motion for High Speed Machines.
Inventor: GOODYEAR WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1906-04-02
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 7903. Goodyear, W. E. April 2. Belt gearing ; toothed gearing; belt f o r k s, operating; starting and stopping gear. - Relates to driving-gear for high-speed machines, which is shown applied to a button - hole sewing-machine of the type described in Specification No. 20,385, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Music &c.]. A sleeve 7 is pinned to a driving-shaft 1, and a flange integral with it carries one or more pins 12 on which are mounted double pinions 13, 14. The smaller pinions 13 gear with an internally-toothed sleeve 3 which rides loosely on the sleeve 7. The larger pinions 14 gear with teeth 16 formed on the hub of the pulley 4. The pulley 4 is grooved at 17 and bevelled equally with the sleeve or pulley 3 to form a groove 18, in which the belt can lie equally on both pulleys. When the belt is in the groove 17, the pulleys 3, 4 rotate in opposite directions without actuating the shaft 1. To start the machine from the stop position as shown in Fig. 8, the treadle-lever 24 is depressed against the spring 31. This rotates the rod 21 out of engagement with a projection 19 carried by a collar fixed to the shaft 1. At the same time, a roller 44 on the rod 21 engages the crooked end of a spring 39 and forces a brake lever 37 or, in a modification, a ratchet detent into contact with the surface 35 on the sleeve 3, which stops the sleeve 3 and so starts the shaft 1 at a low speed through the gearing 16, 14, 13. On further movement of the treadlelever, a pin 32 passes from the vertical to the inclined portion of a slot in the belt lever 34 and moves that lever to throw the belt from the groove 17 into the groove 18. Simultaneously, the roller 44 passes the end of the spring 39 and the sleeve 3 is freed. The pulleys 3, 4 are then rotated equally, and, the spur gear being out of action, the whole revolves together and rotates the shaft 1 directly. During this movement, a trigger 28 has fallen into contact with a step 26 on an arm 23 and so holds the treadle-lever in the starting position. At the close of a cycle of operations, a cam on the main cam-wheel moves this trigger in two stages. At the first it moves the trigger into contact with the step 27, so allowing the spring 31 partly to return the lever 24, which actuates the belt lever, returning the belt to the groove 18, and also rotates the rod 21 to cause the roller 44 to press on the spring 39 and stop the sleeve and pulley 3, thereby reducing the speed of the shaft 1. The further movement of the trigger 28 removes it entirely from the arm 23, and the spring 31 is free to move the rod 21 out of engagement with the brake and into engagement with the projection 19 and so to stop the machine.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Collecting and Disposing of Dust Raised by the Wheels of Motor-vehicles, Tramway-cars and other Vehicles
Inventor: MORGAN EVERARD HOME
Filed: 1906-06-23
Granted: 1907-06-22
Abstract: 14,387. Morgan, E. H. June 23. Motor road vehicles.- The dust raised by motor vehicles running on roads or rails and driven by internal - combustion engines, is induced, by means of an air ejector utilizing the exhaust gases from the motor, to flow through wheel conduits to a suitable separating- device, from which the dust is discharged continuously or periodically on to the road surface. The exhaust gases mix with, and damp, the dust-laden air and are deodorized thereby, the damp product being delivered on to the road surface. Figs. 1 and 2 show one form of apparatus where the exhaust gases are led through the pipe j to an ejector e, which communicates by pipes c with the wheel conduits and delivers the mixture of gas and dust-laden air along the pipe m to the separating-device o. In some cases, steam or water vapour from the radiator, cylinder-jackets, or other liquid receptacle may be admitted to the ejector by the pipe 7, thereby increasing the damping action of the exhaust gases on the dust-laden air. The annular orifice round the nozzle of the ejector may be varied by sliding the outer pipe longitudinally of the vehicle, and afterwards securing it in position by a set-screw. The flared ends of the wheel conduits by preference are mounted pivotally and linked to the handle u, so that they can be rotated horizontally from the periphery of the wheel when running over muddy roads. A suitable retaining-device is provided on the handle to lock the conduits in either position. Fig. 4 shows one form of separating-device comprising a four-way chamber attached to the delivery pipe m and having two gauze-covered apertures o to allow a portion of the air to escape, and also a pipe p curved towards the rear of the vehicle through which the remaining air and the dust escapes. In a modified construction, the separator resembles a hopper with a gauze top, the dust escaping down the inclined lower portion to the discharge pipe. A spiral or worm conveyer mounted in a chamber with a gauze top may be used for separating the dust and delivering it to the road surface, and the use of chambers with partitions or screens and also of spiral chambers is mentioned. In some cases, the wheel conduits and separating-devices are omitted, and the exhaust gases simply induce air through suitable pipes for deodorizing purposes. According to the Provisional Specification, a pump or rapidly rotating wheel or brush may be used to supply water, crude oil, petroleum, tar, or other liquid to moisten the collected dust, and the separating- device may be provided with doors worked by suitable levers for emptying the dust.
