Abstract: 18,011. Oschwald, W. T. Aug. 3. Sack - holders. - Relates to an automatic filling-machine of the kind described in Specification 9681/05, [Class 94, Packing &c.], for packing and weighing flour, bran, &c. into sacks, and consists in the use of a sackholder divided into two portions, the lower sackholding portion of which is automatically detached from the upper portion after a preliminary filling of the sack and is deposited on the weigh-beam for the completion of the filling. The feed-slides e', e<2> are carried by the upper portion b of the sack-holder b, d. The sackholder, with the empty sack attached, is raised in the usual manner up the feed-shoot a by a counter - weight and sinks as the feed - screw presses the material into the sack until stops 9 trip spring-pressed angle levers c and disconnect the lower portion d of the sack-holder from the upper portion b. The portion d holding the sack now rests on the weigh-beam, and the requisite weight is then completed.

Title: Producing and Combining Colour-elements for Diapositives or Katapositives.
Inventor: KENT FRANK WILLIAM
IPC: G03C7/20
Filed: 1912-09-09
Granted: 1913-09-09
Abstract: 20,556. Kent, F. W. Sept. 9. Kinematograph apparatus. - Relates to methods for transferring and uniting silver and other component prints for colour photographs and kinematograph films. The prints are obtained on a flexible base of paper or of finely perforated metal or celluloid prepared by saturating and surfacing the base with a resinous or resinoid substance such as a solution of damar or india-rubber in benzene or ozokerite, so as to make it impervious to water or aqueous solutions. The silver print may be toned to the required colour or may be converted into a coloured gelatine print by the method described in Specification 20,555/12. The print is removed from its backing by means of a solvent such as benzene or by heat, and transferred to a permanent support. Alternatively, one or more silver prints may be combined with other types of component prints. In uniting different components, the print is coated with an adhesive containing an alkaline silicate and albumen, and the receiving-surface may be roughened to secure better adhesion. In uniting component colour cinematograph films, the transfer is effected by a sprocket cylinder and die counter, a supply of adhesive being furnished at the place of contact. In order to secure register, the side play allowed by the sprockets is negatived by a gentle lateral pressure on the band.

Abstract: 22,590. Spence, H., Llewellyn, W. B., and Spence & Sons, P. Oct. 4. Aluminium sulphate; potash alum.-Crude neutral aluminium sulphate is prepared by treating unground calcined coal-measure and like shales with sulphuric acid, or acid aluminium sulphate, under such conditions that as. the solution approaches neutrality it is maintained at a specific gravity higher than that used in Specification 3805/12 and higher than that at which the iron is precipitated in combination with potash, and at temperatures somewhat below 100 C. ; for instance at specific gravity 1À45 and 80-90 C. The shales are preferably treated systematically in a number of vessels, the most exhausted shales being treated with the most acid solvent. The later stages of the digestion are preferably carried out with acid solutions of less specific gravity than that which allows of the separation of an iron-potash compound in a water-soluble form as described in Specification 3805/12. The potash present in the solution is removed in known manner by crystallization as alum. Specification 3870/68 is also referred to.

Abstract: 5101. Brock, M. March 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Lasting.-The presser-plate of the hold-down of a bed-lasting machine is provided with differentlyshaped lip-engaging faces, and is mounted so that it can readily be reversed to bring the desired face into operative position. The invention is described as applied to a machine of the type described in Specification 22,630/08, in which the means for supporting, actuating, holding in operative position, and releasing the hold-down foot are substantially similar to those described in Specification 19,512/11. The presser-plate 42, Fig. 5, having its respective ends shaped to fit the insole rib for different styles of toes, is furnished with beaded studs 40, which are slipped into engagement with countersunk openings 38, Fig. 1, in the forward ends of spring- pressed, resilient arms 30, 32 pivoted at 31 to a member 14. This member, which carries a forwardly-extending arm 15 provided with an abutment screw 17, is mounted on a block 12, Fig. 4, for movement about a beaded stud 16, the block and member being secured together by a tongue and groove 22, 20 curved from the stud 16 as centre. The block 12 is hinged at 10, Fig. 1, to the inner end of a bent arm 8, which is slidingly mounted and frictionally held in ahead 6 rotatable on a vertically-movable hold-down post 2. In use, the arm 8 is moved until the hold-down foot is positioned transversely of the shoe, and the foot is then swung forwards about the pivots 2, 10, until the presser-plate 42 engages the insole rib, the foot swinging about the pin 16 to adjust itself to the transverse inclination of a twisted last. During this positioning-movement, the treadle 4 has been partly depressed ; as it is fully depressed, the arms 30, 32 yield to permit the abutment screw 17 to engage the plate 42 and to force it against the insole with an unyielding pressure.

Abstract: 6323. Brewer, R. W. A., and Jones, G. H. March 14. [Addition to 20,495/12.] Spray carburettors.-In the parent Specification in which a suction-controlled air valve actuates a co-axial fuel valve, relative adjustment of the two valves is effected by rotating the air valve. The present invention consists in effecting this adjustment by an adjustable stop fitted to the carburettor casing. The air valve E encloses the fuel valve M the upper end of which has a cap which engages the forked end S of a lever P pivoted to the air valve at Q. The other end of the lever engages an adjustable stop V which may be actuated by a Bowden wire m. The lever P in the closed position of the valve E may be parallel or inclined to the axis of the stop V. The carrier of the stop V may be adjusted and the acting surface of the stop may be curved. The fuel valve has taper grooves L, and the float C is shown hinged.

Abstract: 14,433. Allgemeine Elektricitõts Ges. June 21, 1912, [Convention date]. Filaments, supports for.-An apparatus for sealing wires radially into glass stems, and preferably also for cutting them off and shaping the ends into hooks, spirals, or the like, is shown in two forms, that of Fig. 4 being suitable for thin elastic wires of metals such as iridium, platinum, molybdenum, and tungsten, and that of Fig. 9 for thicker wires of copper, nickel, or the like. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the wires a are held horizontally or slightly inclined by a ring of spring clips d, which carry supplyrolls g, and are movable radially towards and from a stop-piece e, upon which when the clips are in their inmost position, the fused end of a stem b is pressed down, forming a button, in which the ends of the wires are embedded either radially, or bent downwards as shown. When the clips d are moved outwards, the wires are unwound, and the ends are cut off and shaped by pairs of formers f, f<1>. A completed stem with its hooks is given a partial turn before being removed, to clear the machine, or a table may be turned instead. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, the lower formers fare part of the clips d, and hold the wire a, which is cut off and shaped before it is inserted into the glass, as shown at the left hand. The clips d are shaped at the ends to embrace a mounted stem b in which a button is to be formed, without a stop-piece e. Moulding-pieces i, k, which surround the stem are lowered to shape the button, as shown at the right hand. In a further modification, to form a button at the end of a stem with an extension to be fused to a lamp-foot, a stop-piece e is used which has a corresponding recess, with moulding - pieces i, k.
