Title: Improvements in or relating to Embroidery Machines.
IPC: D05C13/00
Filed: 1912-07-22
Granted: 1912-12-19
Abstract: 17,055. Saurer, A., [Firm of]. Dec. 23, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 16,701/12.] Embroidery machines.-In jacquard apparatus for automatic embroidery machines, such as is described in the parent Specification, wherein the jacquard needles determine but do not originate the movements of the transmitting- blades, the movement-originating means is arranged to hold from movement all the blades that should not be moved. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the transmitting-blades 7 are slidingly mounted in a frame 8 and each blade is associated with a three-armed lever 9 pivoted on the frame. When the frame is moved upwards, the parts 16 of the needles which have been moved to the right by the pattern strip 1 engage the lever arms 9<c>, causing the levers to turn and by means of the arms 9<a> to move the corresponding blades 7. While the flat parts of the other needles engage simultaneously both ends 9<b>, 9<c> of the corresponding levers 9 and thereby positively prevent movement of those levers and the corresponding blades. In the construction shown in Fig. 4, one or other of the surfaces x, z of each needle engages the projection w on the corresponding blade, and the blade is moved or held from movement accordingly.

Abstract: 21,732. Oxnard, H. E. Sept. 24. Pneumatic springs. -Relates to piston-andcylinder devices particularly applicable as supporting-springs for vehicles, and of the kind in which a flexible diaphragm is fixed at its edges to a cylinder and acted upon at its centre portion by a piston, the diaphragm rolling off the cylinder on to the piston, and vice versa, as the piston moves into and out of the cylinder. The invention consists in an improved jointing-arrangement where the diaphragm is attached to the cylinder and piston. Fig. 1 shows the diaphragm 10, which consists of a rubber portion 14, on each side of which are cemented fabric portions 13, 15 attached to the end wall 25 of the cylinder 3 by means of a rubber packing-piece 18, which is compressed by a nut 6 so as to squeeze the rubber radially against the rubber portion 14 of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is attached to the piston 4 in a similar way by means of a rubber block 17 and cap 21. Ridges 23 are provided on the parts between which the rubber blocks 17, 18 are compressed. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the cylinder is in two portions between which the diaphragm is confined by means of a rubber packing-piece 18<1> and an auxiliary packing-piece 18". The diaphragm is attached to a wooden head 4<1> on the piston.

Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 26,976. Zollinger, E., and Mischonsniky, S. Nov. 23. Drawings to Specification. Kinematograph apparatus.-In a positive film for use in colour kinematography obtained from a negative film exposed behind a rotating disk of the kind carrying two complementary filters or groups of filters separated by opaque sectors, it is arranged that the differences of transparency of the various parts of the positive are in inverse ratio to the transparency of the filters through which the light passed to produce the corresponding parts in the negative and through which the light is projected to reproduce the pictures. This result may be obtained, for example, by varying the areas of the colourfilters used for taking the negative film or by using a suitable panchromatic film which will give the desired results in the negative.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Percussion Fuses.
IPC: C09B67/28
Filed: 1912-12-17
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 29,034. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Feb. 26, [Convention date]. Projectile fuses.-Relates to percussion fuses in which on impact an inertia-block governing the quick- or delayaction of the fuse is displaced to an extent depending on the violence of the impact, and consists in opposing the motion of the block by a compressible locking- member. Fig. 1 shows an axial section of the device. A sliding block B, which carries the primer b<1>, is held out of contact with the firing pin a<2> in the plate a<1> by a known centrifugal safety-device C. On the other side of the plate a<1> is a sliding inertia-block D which is held in a rearward position by a compressible locking- ring E. If the resistance of the target is small, the block D is maintained almost stationary by the ring E, and the flash of the primer when the block B impinges on the firing pin a<2> travels directly to the percussion charge F through passages a<3>, d<1>, a<5>. If the resistance of the target is great, the block D moves forward, deforming the ring E, and causes the coned plug a<6> on the screw a<4> to close the mouth of the passage d<1>. The flash is thereby compelled to travel from the passage d<1> to the percussion charge F through a tortuous passage d<2> in the block and passages a<7> in the closing screw a<4>, and the ignition of the fuse is thereby retarded.

Title: A New or Improved Water Softening or Purifying Substance and Process of Obtaining same.
Inventor: BRUENN PAUL DE
IPC: C01B33/46
Filed: 1913-03-08
Granted: 1914-06-08
Abstract: 5783. Br³nn, P. de. Sept. 27, 1912, [Convention date]. Zeolites, artificial; sodium aluminate.-Artificial zeolites for water-softening are obtained by mixing solutions of alkali aluminate and alkali silicate, with the addition of sodium sulphate or chloride and heating the mixture to the boiling point. The bulky precipitate is separated, washed, and dried or calcined. In an example, the aluminate solution is obtained by adding caustic-soda solution to a solution of an aluminium salt such as aluminium chloride until the precipitate first formed redissolves. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states that other soluble alkali salts such as sodium phosphate may be used instead of sodium chloride or sulphate; and that an excess of alkali should be avoided, the sodium aluminate being preferably prepared by adding the caustic soda solution gradually, preferably drop by drop, until nearly but not quite all the precipitated alumina has dissolved. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 5941. Junkers, H. March 10. Drawings to Specification. Cylinders, construction of and cooling. - A cylinder adapted to withstand high temperature and pressure stresses is formed by a thin watercooled liner, reinforced by annular ribs transmitting pressure stresses to a thicker jacket or shell. The ribs may be formed on the liner or the jacket, or may be separate and may be of non-conducting material. In order to promote circulation of the cooling-water, the ribs may be perforated or undercut. The exterior face of the liner may be provided with recesses &c. to increase the cooling-surface. In the neighbourhood of apertures in the cylinder walls, the ribs may be united by ring members. The reinforcing-shell may be formed in sections united by a corrugated jacket to allow of expansion. In engines having two oppositely-moving pistons in the cylinder, the reinforcing shell may taper towards the end in accordance with the diminishing pressure, and the liner may be formed in two parts bolted or otherwise secured to'the reinforcing shell at their inner ends. The valves may be carried by the outer shell and the joint between the shell and liner made tight by caulking or bushing.

Abstract: 16,361. Ahlborn, E., [Firm of]. March 5, [Convention date]. Driving-mechanism. - A churn is fitted with driving-mechanism whereby it may either be driven rapidly, the kneading-rollers moving with it, or driven slowly, the kneading-rollers having a separate movement. On the driving-shaft 9 is mounted a sleeve 3 carrying a clutch-member 2 whereby it can be connected to the driving- pulley 1 or to a fixed member 11. When the sleeve 3 is fixed, pins 5 on a disk 4 attached to it prevent a toothed wheel 7 loosely mounted on an eccentric 8 on the shaft 9 from rotating. but allow it to be reciprocated by the eccentric, thus moving a toothed ring 10 attached to the churn-body 14 and surrounding the wheel 7 through the space of one tooth for every revolution of the shaft 9. A pinion 13 on the spindle of the kneading-rollers meshes with a pinion 12 on the shaft 9. When the sleeve 3 is connected with the pulley 1, all the moving parts rotate as one piece.
