Title: Improved Apparatus for Steeping and Pressing Sheets of Cellulose Material in the Preparation of Alkali-cellulose.
Inventor: BLOCH-PIMENTEL EMILE
IPC: C08B1/12
Filed: 1912-04-01
Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 7893. Pimentel, E. Bloch-. April 1. Filter - presses. - A combined steeping and pressing apparatus for the production of alkali cellulose consists of a vat A, in which the sheets of cellulose are steeped and then subjected to horizontal pressure by means of a piston press. The vat is preferably divided into compartments by movable perforated or reticulated plates C guided by horizontal bars. The cellulose sheets are placed vertically between the plates C and are separated at intervals by other vertical perforated or reticulated plates E. After being steeped for a sufficient length of time in alkali lye, the excess is run off and the press-plate F set in motion. The horizontal motion is stopped when the plates C and the plate F contact with the distance-pieces D.

Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 8862. Lindenmaier, J. April 15. Sewing - machine needles.- A machine needle 1 has its eye 3 situated at one side and has a threading-slit 7 in the thin wall 6. The eye extends into the tapering portion of the needle so that, on penetration, the portion of the slit eye-wall below the slit will be pressed inwards against the upper portion to close the eye. In a modified form the threading-slit is perpendicular to the wall 6, but the width of slit is very small compared with the thickness of the wall 6 so that the slit will close on penetration of the material sewn.

Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 14,850. Baumwoll Spinnerei und Weberei Arlen. July 26, 1911, [Convention date]. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-The loose thread end d that is blown off the spool a before spool-transference occurs is caught and held by a roller b fixed on a hollow shaft h loosely mounted on a continuously-rotating shaft c. Normally, the shaft h is rotated by friction, but, when the roller b is engaged by the thread d, the shaft is stopped and thread-breakage is thus. prevented. When the spool has been threaded and the weft end has been cut, the roller b is again rotated frictionally to wind up the thread end. The roller b is covered with card clothing, velvet, plush, or woollen or other cloth, to which the threads readily adhere, and is made conical to facilitate removal of accumulated threads.

Abstract: 20,368. Charley, J. J. Sept. 6. [Cognate Application, 4721/13.] Equalizing load on wheels and springs; guiding vertical play; springs, arrangement of.- In an undercarriage of the kind in which the suspension device in conjunction with each wheel comprises a pair of rockers pivoted to the chassis and connected to move in unison, each such device being connected to that of another wheel on the same side of the vehicle, springs having a normalizing action are provided. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, the rockers pivoted at 3 to the chassis, have the forwardlyextending arms 2<a> of each pair pivoted to the ends of the usual semi-elliptic springs 5, while their vertical arms 2<b> are connected by a rod 7 so that the rockers move in unison, and a normalizing spring 11 encircling the rod 7 adjacent to each rocker bears against an abutment 10 secured to the chassis. The pairs of rockers for the two wheels are connected by a rod 12 of adjustable length pivoted at one end to a downward extension 2<c> of the rear rocker of the forward pair, and pivoted at the other end to a rocking bracket 13 which is pivoted to the rear rod 7. In another arrangement, Fig. 2, the rockers are geared together by meshing segments 15, and a normalizing-spring 11 is disposed between the vertical arms 20 of the rockers. A downwardly-extending arm 2<b> of one rocker is connected to the similar rocker system of the other wheel by a rod 16 in two parts having forked ends 17 connected by a bolt 18 supported from the chassis by a swinging hanger 19. In a further modification, Fig. 5, the pivots 3 of the rockers are disposed in different horizontal planes, and the ends of the horizontal arms 2<a> are pivoted to brackets 21 disposed one above and one below the axle. The ends of the vertical arms 2<b> are pivoted to bars 22, 23, rigidly connected by a bar 24 to which is secured the rod 25 of a central normalizing- device of the kind described in Specification 12,913/11. Fig. 6 shows a modification of this last arrangement in which the arms 2<a> are formed as laminated springs and normalizing- springs disposed adjacent to the rockers are used instead of the central normalizing-device. In this arrangement, the higher of the pivots 3 is disposed on the outside of the chassis frame and the lower one on the inside. A normalizing- spring 11 may be disposed between an horizontal arm 36 on the rocker and an abutment 37 on the chassis, and a further normalizing action may be obtained by extending one or both of the spring arms 2<a> beyond the pivot 3 as shown at 38, the end of such extension being connected by a link with the chassis. A spring 39 may be disposed between two abutments 40, the one being secured to a bolt 41 pivoted to the chassis, and the other to a fork 42 pivoted to the end of the extension 38. Or the spring 39 may be disposed between an arm 44 extending rearwards from the rocker and an abutment carried by a pivoted hanger 43.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Route Indicators.
Inventor: JONES ERNEST ALBERT
Filed: 1912-09-20
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 21,448. Jones, E. A. Sept. 20. [Cognate Application, 1826/13.] Moving - map indicators for vehicles. - A moving-map route indicator for a public vehicle has a separate band e for drawing attention to places of business &c. on the route. Both bands are driven by the same mechanism, but the band e can be replaced without interfering with the route band a. The bands are mounted on spools b, b<1>, b<2>, b<3>, Fig. 3, and can be driven by rollers s in either direction, and means are provided for adjusting the bands, for calibrating the device for varying sizes of tyre, and for compensating for the increased distance travelled by vehicles having steering-wheels owing to the impossibility of driving them without slight deviations from the straight course. The spools b, b<1>, &c. are pressed by springs b<8> into frictional engagement with bevel driving-gears h, h<1>, which are engaged by pinions h<2> on clutch-members n', n<4>. A shaft m can be moved axially in either direction by means of a lever p‹, Fig. 4, to engage a dog p<3> or p<4> with the clutch n<3> or n<4>, and a spindle r<5> can then be turned by a key to rotate the shaft m so as to move the bands in either direction for the purpose of adjustment. A further movement of the lever p<6> brings a dog p<1> or p<2> into engagement with a clutch n<1> or n<2>, thereby coupling the shaft m to the flexible shafting x, which is geared, through the calibrating and compensating device and through shafting x<1>, Fig. 1, to one of the wheels of the. vehicle. The movement of the lever p<6> also shifts a rod k<5>, Fig. 4, to lower one of the gears k<3>, so as to complete a driving-connexion from a pinion k on the axle of the gears h, h<1> to a pinion k<1> on the axle of a driving-spool s. The calibrating and compensating device is shown in Figs. 1 and 5. The shafting x<1>, driven from one of the wheels, is connected to a spindle t<6>, which, through bevel-gearing t<4>, t<5>, drives a friction-disk t<1>, engaging a disk f on a spindle f<1>, to which the shafting x is connected. To compensate for errors due to the vehicle running out of its straight course, the bracket t<3> is mounted slidably and is connected by links q, t<7> to an arm z' on a bracket z, carried by the part y of the steering-centre of one of the steering-wheels, so that the disk t<1> is moved radially along the disk f when the steering- wheel is turned. To enable calibration to be effected for various sizes of tyre, the link q is made in two parts which telescope with respect to each other. The bands a, c are illuminated from behind. The glass front of the indicator may be constructed to produce a magnifying effect. There may be an audible signal device to draw attention to the advertisements.

A rotary brush u carried by arms t on the shaft s clears the sieve p of the coarse impurities which do not fall off when the direction of suction is changed. The brushes q serve to clean the perforated portion of the slider w; they may be replaced by a strip of india-rubber or other packing-material.
