Title: Improvements in and relating to the Treatment of Caoutchouc and the like.
IPC: C08C3/02
Filed: 1909-06-09
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 13,570. Kautschukges Sch÷n & Co. April 28, [Convention date]. India-rubber, purifying.-For the purpose of eliminating albuminous, colouring, or mucous matters, dirt and woody particles, and any products of putrid or septic decomposition, from raw caoutchouc, gutta, balata, or the like the material is treated with an alkali or alkalies, or with an alkaline earth in addition to the treatment with a resin solvent as described in Specification 4692/06. The juice of palaquim leiocarpum or other palaquim is boiled for two hours with twice the quantity of aniline and one-third diluted sodium lye with the aid of a reflux cooler, and the undissolved gutta is separated, the process being repeated several times. The filtered gutta is freed by steam from the adhering extraction agent, which is carried off and recovered by condensation. From the solution, the aniline and other constituents are separated. In another example, 5000 kg. of the juice of Dyera plants are boiled with 6000 kg. of xylidine and 200 kg. of a 5 per cent solution of caustic potash, the process being as described above.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Circular Rib Knitting Machines.
Inventor: GRIEVE THOMAS SCOTT
IPC: D04B9/06
Filed: 1909-10-06
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 22,745. Grieve, T. S. Oct. 6. Circular machines.-Ribbed seamless hosiery in two styles of ribs, such as two-and-one rib changing to four-and-one rib is produced automatically by means of a set of dial cams working in conjunction with long and short butted needles suitably arranged. When the change is desired, the long-butted needles are withdrawn from knitting, and their cast off loops are prevented from running down by being knocked over on to a fine splicing-thread the loops of which are burst by the withdrawal of the long - butted needles into the inactive position. The outthrow cam 2, which can be swung inwards on a pivot 7 during the formation of the welt, carries a second cam 10 rocking on a pivot 11. The long-butted needles are deflected inwards by a half-thickness cam 17 and remain in the idle track during the production of four-and-one rib. When it is desired to change back to two-andone rib, the long-butted needles are again deflected into the knitting-track by a switch cam 16. The cams 16, 17 are suitably connected together so that as either one is moved into engagement with the long-butted needles the other is withdrawn.

Granted: 1911-06-19
Abstract: 12,184. Johnson, A. H. May 18. Indicators, alarm and signal.-In electricallyoperated water-level indicators, to compensate for the relative displacement of the parts carrying the electric-switch mechanism and the operating-device due to change of temperature for example, the moving member k of the switch mechanism is linked up to the float a in the tank b, and the other member p is pivoted to a slide t movable in the switch casing m and connected to the tank. In the event of any change in the position of the tank in reference to the switch casing, the two parts of the switch are similarly displaced, and the action of the mechanism is affected. The member k has a lost-motion connexion by means of projections o, o' with a slide n, which, in the position shown, supports the pivoted member p; when the member k is moved to the left and the lost motion has been taken up, the slide n is carried forward and the arm p allowed to drop, bridging the contacts p<1>. On the return movement, the member lifts the arm p directly by means of a bevelled step. The switch may be used to actuate a signal or to control the supply to the tank.

Abstract: 12,351. McNaught, W. May 22. Wool scouring and washing type.-In machines for scouring and washing wool and other fibrous materials of the rake and harrow types, for example those described in Specifications 983/82, 7133/94, and 271/09, the forward end of the delivery frame is suspended by a rod or link connected to the framework of the machine by a radius rod or an equivalent device and by a rod or link. In harrow machines the main frame or harrow may be hinged at one or more points in its length. The delivery frame receives its necessary movement from a slotted suspension link l provided with a cam m, a crank pin n, &c., the link l also supporting the forward end of the harrow q either directly or through the delivery frame i, all acting as in the machine described in Specification 271/09. The forward end of the same frame is supported by a bracket B carrying a swivel 5 free to slide on a rod h furnished at the bottom with an adjustable nut 6 upon which the swivel normally rests. The rod h is supported and its motion governed by a link k and radius rod g both pivotally attached to it and to a fixed bracket e. The upper end of the slotted link l is pivotally connected to a counterweighted beam o, and this beam is connected by horizontal rods u with other similar beams s, which support the harrow at other necessary points by means of links r. The delivery frame is also used with rake machines. In a modification, a deep scour is given the wool at the entrance end of the vat a by deepening the latter, hinging the harrow q at the middle, lengthening the prongs of the after end of the harrow, and also lengthening the supporting-beam s at that end. The hinge may consist of a simple pivot arrangement, or the two portions z, 1 of the harrow, Fig. 4, may be connected by links 2 and suspended by two rods 3, 4 from the corresponding beam s.
