Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 6612. Bucknall, I. I., [administratrix of Bucknall, J. L.]. March 16. Variable-speed gearing. - The driven internally-toothed ring 5 of a two-speed gear upon a motor-bicycle &c. is formed in one with a belt pulley or chain-wheel 4, which runs loosely upon a boss 2 fast on the engine shaft 1. The outer and inner members 15, 16 of pairs of intermeshing planetary gears mesh respectively with the ring 5, and with a sun-gear 3 fast upon the boss 2. The gears 15, 16 are carried by a disk 11, which has a conical flange 12 adapted to engage a grip or friction surface 5<a> upon the ring 5 to effect a solid high-speed drive. When the disk 11 is moved to the left, the flange 12 engages a fixed brake surface 8, causing the gearing to come into operation to drive the pulley &c. 4 at reduced speed. The disk 11 turns upon a spindle 10 supported by a removable plate 7 upon the crank-case 6 of the engine. In the Provisional Specification, the invention is also stated to be applicable to drilling-machines.

Title: Process for Obtaining and Separating Oxygen and Nitrogen from the Atmosphere
Inventor: KASSNER GEORG
IPC: C01B13/02
Filed: 1911-05-22
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 12,307. Kassner, G. May 28, 1910, [Convention date]. Nitrogen; oxygen.-In separating oxygen and nitrogen from the atmosphere by means of the alternate formation and decomposition of alkaline manganates and permanganates under the action of air and steam respectively, alkaline meta-plumbate, or substances capable of forming an alkaline meta-plumbate are added to the reacting mass. The reactions taking place in the case of manganates are: Na4PbO4 + MnO2 + O = Na2MnO4 + Na2PbO3 Na2MnO4 + Na2PbO3 + H2O = Na4PbO4 + MnO2 + O + H2O. The reactions take place between 300‹ and 600‹ C., but the effect of the alkaline plumbate decreases with the temperature; a small addition is sufficient at, say 350‹ C., but at higher temperatures more is necessary, up to equi-atomic proportions of lead and manganese. The alkaline plumbate may be generated in the mixture from lead monoxide, suboxide, peroxide, nitrate, or red lead, &c., oxygen or air, and alkaline hydrate, oxide, or peroxide. The manganate or permanganate can also be produced in the mixture from its components.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Feather Trimmings and the like.
Inventor: COLEY MABEL ELEANOR

Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 2177. Coley, M. E. Jan. 27. Boas; trimmings.-In a machine for making feather boas or trimmings, the feathers are assembled between a master belt and a number of auxiliary belts with all their shafts central and longitudinally arranged, and are carried by them over a stitching-table, where they are stitched to a binding reinforcement. The sewing-machine 11, which preferably makes a zigzag stitch, is supported above a table 16, and a row of operators are placed in positions A to E along a feeding-table 17. A pair of endless master belts 18, arranged side by side, pass over these tables and beneath the sewing- machine to carry the feathers. The operator A applies a line of feathers to the belts 18, the feathers being at once covered by belts a and the two belts passing between gripping-rollers 22, 26. The operators B, C, D, E also apply above the belts a, b, c, d, respectively, feathers which are similarly gripped by the belts b, c, d, e, which also pass under their respective gripping-rollers. The assembled feathers 31, with their shafts lying parallel and between the pairs of belts, pass through a guide 41 and then beneath the sewing - machine, which throws stitches around the stems and a binder, composed of a number of threads 34 passing down a tube 36 from reels in a frame 33<11>, to secure the whole together. The flexibility of the barbs of the feathers allows the feed of the sewing-machine to operate independently of the belt-feed of the feathers. The feather material passes away through delivery rollers 47, and the belts, which are endless, return over geared driving-pulleys 19, 24 and idle pulleys 20, 25. Tension is maintained by spring - controlled levers 38, which each carry one idle pulley.
