Abstract: 21,935. Bowyer, J., and Anchor Cable Co. Sept. 21. Wire and other cores, covering by winding.- In apparatus for winding two or more strips of material about a core, particularly for winding tape on electric conductors, in such a manner as to ensure a constant amount of overlapping at all points, a guide device is employed which rotates about the wire together with the bobbins carrying the strips, and which is provided with a longitudinal groove in which the wire is supported, and with transverse grooves along which the strips are led. The wire m, Fig. 1, to be covered is drawn through a taping-tube b, which can be rotated, and which carries the bobbins k on which the strips of covering-material are wound and also, at the end of an arm a projecting forward from the tube, the guide-device c. The wire lies along a longitudinal groove d, Fig. 6, in the block c, and the strips are led to the wire, one along a groove c in the block c, and the other along a superposed groove g in an adjustable block f. If more than two strips are to be wound upon the wire, additional guides are supported upon the block c. In cases where no taping-tube is used, the supply bobbins and guide-device may be mounted upon a rotating plate together with suitable guides to arrange the strips approximately parallel before they proceed to the guide-device.

Burglar alarms, - Mechanism is arranged within a lock casing for shooting out an auxiliary bolt and thereby closing an alarm circuit in the event of a false key being used. A bolt A is normally held inoperative against the action of a spring e' by means of a beilcrank D, a projection f on which engages a notch g in the bolt. If the bit of the key used to open the lock be too long, the bell-crank is actuated thereby, and the bolt A is allowed to shoot forward into the striking-plate F, where it closes electric contacts G or actuates a lever O, Fig. 8, for operating the tumbler o<2> of an electric-light switch. The bolt A can be withdrawn only by the correct key, an arm n on the bell-crank D preventing a false key from acting on the projection m. In a modified construction, wherein a follower is used to operate the latch from the inside, an extra arm on the follower may be used to withdraw the bolt A.

Title: Improvements in Rotary or Straight bar Knitting Machines.
IPC: D04B11/00
Filed: 1911-03-03
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 5399. Cotton, Ltd., W., and Aldridge, C. H. March 3. Straight-bar machines.-Relates to improved arrangements of friction boxes for the threadcarrier rods in Cotton's machines, whereby the rods may be traversed during a portion of the traverse of the slur bar. The box A is carried on a rail A', and passing freely through it is the driving-rod A<2> connected by brackets A<3> to the slur bar B<1>. Another rod E moving with rod A<2> also passes freely through the box until an incline on it passes under a roller D<4> carried on a slide D' to the other end of which a bowed spring D is attached. This spring, when compressed, bears on a plate A<5> in the friction box, and causes friction material A<4>, A<6> to grip the rod A<2> so that the box A is carried along. When the carrier rod C and box A are stopped, the incline E<1> passes from under the roller and unclamps the box A from the rod A<2>. The box can be rendered inoperative by disconnecting the rod E, but an alternative method consists in carrying the roller F<3>, Fig. 3, for operating the slide D' on an arm F<1> pivoted at F. A second rod F<4> is mounted by means of slots on the stud F and the pin F<2> of the roller F<3>. In the position shown, when the incline E' moves the roller, the rods F', F<4> are both operated, and the latter acting on a set-screw D' moves the slide D'. When the rod F<4> is pushed to the right so that the large end of the slot F<6> surrounds the pin F<2>, the rod F<4> and slide D' are not moved by the incline. In another form, the pin F<2> is mounted eccentrically in the slide D<1> and can be turned out of the way of the incline E<1>.

Granted: 1913-04-02
Abstract: 7969. Teichmann, E., and Braun, H. April 2. Toxines, antitoxines, and like bacterial products.-A preparation for giving immunity against trypanosomes and other pathogenous micro-organisms is made by bleeding an infected animal while the infection is at its height, separating the trypanosomes from the blood and drying them. The trypanosomes may be separated by collecting the infected blood in a mixture of agglutinating antiserum, such as horse-serum, and a physiological solution of salt, so that the red corpuscles are precipitated, subjecting the supernatant liquid to centrifugal action in order to precipitate any remaining red corpuscles and separate the trypanosomes in a layer from the liquid, washing the separated trypanosomes in a solution of salt, and drying them, whereby a powder is produced that can be injected in a physiological solution of salt. To make a preparation capable of giving immunity against infection by flies, the flies, cultivated from larvae free from trypanosomes, are allowed to appropriate trypanosomes, and are kept alive for some time to allow the trypanosomes to undergo change. The flies are then washed in a solution of salt, and the mixture is injected into a rat &c. From the infected rat the stock of blood for the preparation of the powder as above described is obtained. Another preparation, capable of giving greater immunity, is made by injecting an animal repeatedly with the above-described preparation, extracting the serum containing antibodies from this animal, injecting another animal, such as a mouse, with this serum in quantity insufficient to destroy all the live trypanosomes subsequently injected, and then injecting the live trypanosomes. Another mouse is then injected with the antibodies and afterwards with the trypanosomes which have escaped death in the first mouse. This procedure is continued until the trypanosomes have become immune, and from this stock of trypanosomes a preparation is made as described above, and may be used in conjunction with the first preparation. The preparations may be agitated with toluene before injection in order to disinfect them, the toluene being then evaporated.
