Title: Improvements in and relating to Devices for Wiping Glass Weather Screens or Windows and the like.
Inventor: KELLOGG CARL AUSTIN
Filed: 1908-10-20
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 22,253. Kellogg, C. A. Oct. 20. Windows &c., cleaning.-Apparatus for use in wiping the outer surface of glass weather-screens and the like, for example those employed on locomotive cabs, motor-cars, and ship's pilot houses, comprises an adjustable telescopic arm 18, 20 carrying the wiper 22 and mounted by means of a collar 15 on a shaft 10. The collar is keyed to the shaft and is urged inwards tn press the wiper against the glass 3 by a spring 14 regulated by a nut 12. The shaft 10 is oscillated to cause the wiper to traverse an arcuate path by operating a handle 25 provided with a spring latch lever 27, the end 28 of which is arranged to enter a hole in the bracket 30 and thereby to lock the apparatus when the wiper reaches one end of its travel. In this position the wiper is held away from the surface of the glass by means of cams 31, 32, formed on the adjacent ends of the fixed boss 5 and the collar 15 respectively.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Treatment of Fibres for Upholstery, Brush Making and other purposes.
Inventor: JOLY CELESTE
IPC: D01C1/02
Filed: 1909-02-06
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 2952. Joly, C. Feb. 6. Matting; carpets. - In the preparation of material suitable for the stuffing of bedding and upholstery, for bristles for brushes, and for making mats, carpets or other fabrics and for other purposes, from coco-nut, Mexican, and other hair-like vegetable fibres, the fibres are freed from resinous and oily parts, treated with an insoluble varnish, and glossed by heating in steam. To obtain stiff fibres, the resinous and oily matters are removed by treatment with potassium permanganate for 12 to 48 hours and subsequent washing in water or in a weak solution of sodium or potassium sulphite or oxalic acid. A more flexible fibre is obtained by.boiling for 1 to 4 hours in a solution of potassium or sodium sulphite and subsequently washing. The fibres may then be dyed by a known process, dried, and teased. Fibres obtained by either treatment are stiffened by dipping for 5 to 20 minutes in hot varnish composed of gelatine, chondrin, or agar-agar, and potassium bichromate or any salt which renders gelatine insoluble after exposure to light. The varnish may also contain, if desired, lime, lime carbonate or phosphate, and a suitable colouring-matter. Instead of the abovedescribed varnish, a hot solution of shellac in weak ammonia may be used, the shellac being afterwards rendered insoluble by treating with calcium chloride. After drying, the fibre is teased and heated in a steam bath for an hour or two to produce a glossy surface. When intended for stuffing-material, it is worked into ropes and kept in a room at 100-180‹ F. for a few hours. The fibre thus acquires a fine curl.
