Inventor: ROBERTSHAW SYDNEY
Filed: 1907-11-28
Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 26,341. Robertshaw, S. Nov. 28. Stocks; bristles, fixing; making. - Brushes in which the bristles are secured to the stock by insertion in a mass of cement are provided with a veneer of wood, celluloid, metal, or other material to cover the cement. The veneer, which is made similar in appearance to the brush body, is retained in position flush with the rest of the stock by adherence to the cement. In making the brush, the veneer h is placed on the concave front of a mould a, the top plate g is placed in position, and holes are drilled up from the bottom of the tapered holes b into the top plate, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1. The holes are then filled with bristles, the plate g is removed, and a cover plate m placed in position, while the bristles are pressed into the heated plastic composition l held in the hollowedout portion of the stock e. When the cement has set, the plates are removed and may be employed for making another brush. In a modified method of manufacture, the top plate is dispensed with, the veneer being secured to the mould during the drilling and filling operations by a small quantity of a gummy or resinous material.

Granted: 1909-05-24
Abstract: 11,183. Thomas, B., and Thomas, E. May 23. Cut-outs; switched.-An electric circuit-breaker which can be closed electrically from a distant point and may be fitted with double-pole or doublepole and equalizer contacts is built up on a metal framework, and has symmetrically-placed brushes, which are first cramped against and then caused to slide bodily along fixed bar-like contacts. Devices may be added for opening on reverse current or overload. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, four line-. contacts and two equalizer-contacts 6, 7, 8, 9,< >10, 11 are clamped to an iron, steel, or other metal framework 1, 2, 3. The disposition of the equalizercontact-by`the side of the line-contacts is shown at 8, 9, 10, 11. Brushes 13, 14, 15, fixed between plates and separated from them by micanite insulation, are hinged to links 30 and to other links 28, the latter forming toggles through which the brushes are operated by a solenoid 24. In the action of. closing, the toggle-links are nearly straightened and then checked by a stop 29, imparting to the brushes a cramping or turning movement followed by sliding movement in which the brushes and all their connecting-links share as a whole. Blow-out-magnets and sparking-contacts are fitted. An overload relay device,. Fig. 5, consists of a fixed iron fork 36 and a movable iron fork 32, which partly embrace the contact 10, the fork 32 moving further over the contact when an excessive current flows and thus operating through a spring 43 a pivoted contact 39. A similar overload device is attached to the other side of the circuit-breaker. A reverse-current relay device consists of an iron yoke surrounding the main contact, a pivoted H-armature operating an electric-contact against a spring. The overload and reverse current devices are connected so that if either of them operates, it opens the circuit of the solenoid 24 and allows the circuit-breaker brushes to fall. In conjunction with the solenoid there may be also contacts for inserting resistance at the end of the stroke.

Title: A Novel Method of, and Novel Means for, Obtaining Solutions or Pseudo-solutions of Ferric Oxide and other Substances commonly deemed Insoluble, such Solutions or Pseudo-solutions being applicable to Dyeing and other purposes.
Inventor: CARTWRIGHT ZACHARIAH
Filed: 1908-11-18
Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 24,842. Cartwright, Z. Nov. 18. Dyeing.-Metallic oxides, such as ferric, manganese, or chromium oxide, are converted into solutions or pseudo-solutions by treatment with a so:ution of soap, impurities being left as a residue. On landing the oxide is slowly deposited, a separation according to the specific gravities of the particles being obtained, the lighter particles being deposited last. If the soap solution has the maximum dissolving power, i.e. if its concentration is about 1 to 0À5 per cent, a permanent solution is obtained, which can be secured against decomposition in the case of ferric oxide by the addition of substances such as sugar which retain iron in solution. Fixing-agents such as gum may be added, and the solution may then be boiled down to any desired concentration. Such a "permanent" solution may be caused to deposit its oxide by the addition of acids or alkalis. The Provisional Specification states that these solutions are useful for dyeing.
