Title: Process for the Production of a Water and Soap Proof Gloss on Woven Materials of Cotton.
Inventor: RUMPF CARL
IPC: D06C15/00
Filed: 1909-03-10
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 5771. Rumpf, C. March 10. Calendering and glossing.-Cotton fabrics to which a high gloss has been imparted by hot calendering in a moistened condition are given a water and soap proof silky gloss by subsequently calendering them, preferably in a stretched condition, at a very high temperature for a long time, or by passing them through gas flames or over a strongly heated drum. If in producing the original gloss the temperature used is 400‹ C. or over, the gloss may be fixed in one treatment. To allow for the loss of part of the gloss in the heating, the fabrics are first treated with any shiny adhesive, preferably containing starch, and are afterwards treated with water, soap solution, moist steam or the like, and if starch is used, with malt or malt extract, whereupon a silky water and soap proof gloss remains.

[Cognate Application, 26,820/09.] Shafts.-Cement or concrete linings for pits, shafts, &c. are formed of interlocking blocks with recesses or projections for enabling the blocks to be keyed to the wall of the pit &c. The recesses b, Figs. 14 and 22, may be central or at the ends, and may be ribbed; and the projections h may be central, as shown in Fig. 13, or overlapping, as shown in Fig. 12. The interlocking part d may be V shaped, Fig. 14, or Fig. 21, and may extend wholly or partly across the blocks; the side joints may be similar or plain. An overlapping tongue may engage recesses in adjoining blocks to form lap joints. Recesses e are formed to receive joint-making material and parallel grooves 22, Fig. 21, connected therewith, may be provided and also grooves 25 to receive rubber or other packings. The interlocking joints may be corrugated or the like. Pipes k, n, r, may be embedded in the blocks, through which cement may be forced to the joints or between the pit wall and the lining. Screws 30, Fig. 22, may be passed through the pipes k and nuts 28 to centre a ring of blocks ; or pins 4, Fig. 13, may be passed through the pipes and secured to loops 3 for raising the blocks into position. Boards may be fixed over the joints to hold the cement until it has set. Felt may be placed between joints, and the edges may be recessed to receive wooden wedge strips and cement. The blocks may be metal-cased or reinforced, or may be dipped in oil or tar preparations to prevent leakage of water through them. For assembling, pegs s, Fig. 14, may be driven into the pit wall, and on these, a foot-plate t carrying screw-jacks v, fish-plates x, and a segmental ring y are mounted. To the ring y, planks 1 are fixed, and a ring of blocks a is built on them. The space is then filled with cement, on a course of rubble if necessary. Another ring is then built in, and if necessary, cement is packed behind. Behind succeeding rings, rubble is packed until further keying to the pit wall is required, when more cement is used. In the cement-filled portions, drain-pipes 8 are inserted to connect the rubble-filled space above with the one below or with a garland &c. The lining may also be built on an annular ledge left in the pit wall, a flat slab 35 being first laid, and then a ring of preferaby wide crib blocks 34.

Title: Improvements in Recording Rain Gauges.
IPC: G01W1/14
Filed: 1910-11-15
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 26,563. Casella & Co., C. F., and Casella, C. F. Nov. 15. Rain gauges.-In recording rain gauges in which a collecting- bucket A and a recording-pen are mounted at opposite ends of a lever turning about an horizontal axis, the bucket being automatically emptied b y inversion each time it becomes filled, the bucket is prevented from prematurely emptying by mounting on it a roller G which, as the bucket descends, bears against a cam surface H, inversion of the bucket being impossible until the roller has cleared the bottom of this surface. When the bucket commences to right itself, the roller G catches against the corner h of the cam surface and keeps the bucket inverted until completely empty. The arm M carrying the recording-pen is hinged at m to the arm B and to counteract its tendency to fall away from the drum K when in the lower part of its path an arm N carrying a weight N' and a short piece n<1> is mounted on an horizontal pivot at the end of the arm B. When the pen is in the lower part of its path the tendency of the arm N to become vertical causes the piece n<1> to press against the arm M and keep the pen in contact with the drum. When the pen is in the upper part of its path, its own weight keeps it pressed against the drum, and the piece n<1> exerts no pressure. Cams O<1>, O<2> are provided to lift the arm M off the drum if the pen exceeds its ordinary limits of motion.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Mechanically Actuated Musical Instruments.
IPC: G10F1/18

Granted: 1912-03-25
Abstract: 1906. Hennig, G. K., and Hupfeld Akt.- Ges., L. Jan. 25. Stringed instruments; expression, controlling. -In an automatic stringed instrument played by bowing, means are provided for simultaneously varying the speed of the bow and the movements of the string-carriers towards the bow. A device may also be provided for varying the movements of the string-carriers without altering the speed of the bow. The motor driving the bow is controlled by a throttle valve I. The coupled bellows g, i, are connected by linkage to the throttle valve l and cam d. The violin a is moved towards the bow by a bellows c. This movement is controlled by the cam d, which determines the movement of the link e. When the tune-sheet opens the tracker-duct of the bellows g, the bellows expands and partially closes the throttle valve l. The cam d is simultaneously rotated, so that the movement of the violin a towards the bow, on the collapse of the bellows c, is decreased. The valve l and cam d are returned to their initial positions when the bellows i expands. The amplitude of the movement of the coupled bellows g, i may be controlled by means such as those described in Specification 9055/08, The adjustment of the cam d and valve l may be effected manually. A wedge may be substituted for the cam d or the arm by which the cam is carried may be pivotally mounted. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, auxiliary coupled bellows 2, 3 are provided to rotate the cam d without operating the throttle valve l. The link f<1> is connected to the arm f<3>, which is fixed to the spindle o and the centre-board 1<a> of the bellows 2, 3. A pin on the spindle o engages a slot in the boss of the lever f. A movement of the bellows i, g rocks the spindle o and bellows 2, 3, so shifting the throttle valve l and rotating the cam d. A movement of the bellows 2, 3 rotates the cam d through the links 6, f without shifting the throttle valve l. This movement may be effected manually. Specification 22,392/07 is also referred to.
