Granted: 1904-10-20
Abstract: 24,637. Howorth, F. W., [Soc. Francaise de la Viscose]. Nov. 12. Yarns &c., dressing.-Relates to a process and material for dressing threads and skeins of cotton, flax, jute, ramie, hemp, &c. The thread or skein passes from a reel a into a water trough d, over a pulley e, to a trough containing a solution f of viscose, leaving the trough through a draw-hole g, and entering a bath h containing a solution of an ammonium salt, which coagulates and fixes the cellulose. The thread next passes through brine baths i, j, containing 20 per cent. of sea-salt, to an acid bath k, containing preferably 3 per cent. of hydrochloric acid, in which the cellulose is deposited in an insoluble form from the cellulose xanthate constituting the viscose. The thread is then freed from excess of acid in the water bath m. The viscose above mentioned is described in Specification No. 8700, A.D. 1892.

Title: Improvements in Recording Instruments
Inventor: ELPHINSTONE GEORGE KEITH BULLE
Filed: 1904-03-03
Granted: 1905-01-05
Abstract: 5270. Elphinstone, G. K. B. March 3. Registering observations by instruments; registering small movements; pressure and vacuum gauges.-In a recording - arrangement applicable to electric pressure, current, or power meters, water or steam pressure gauges, and other instruments, a recording-strip passes down a hinged trough or tube to a clock-driven pin-wheel which moves it, the instrument to which the marking-pointer is attached being mounted upon the tube, so that the pointer and strip may be moved away from the pin-wheel to insert fresh paper. The arrangement is a modification of that described in Specification No. 17,577, A.D. 1896, [Abridgment Class Electricity, Measuring &c.]. A clock B drives the wheel B' with pins B', B<3>, B<4>, which engage with holes C<1>, C<2>, C<3> in the edge of the paper strip D ; the strip passes from a spool E, mounted in the cover F, down the tube G pivoted at H, and is coiled in the receptacle Q. The tube is of the same width as the strip, and has a gap K, K<1> through which the pencil L of the pointer N can mark the paper, the instrument actuating the pointer being mounted at M on the tube. In a modification, only the lower part nf the tube is movable, and it is pivoted below the instrument. There may be a clamp with three arms, one of which locks the tube in correct position while the other two form stops for the recording-pointer.

Filed: 1904-03-18
Granted: 1905-02-23
Abstract: 6647. Heslop, J. J. S. March 18. Roasting coffee.-Coffee is roasted in a perforated cylinder of the kind described in Specification No. 28,499, A.D. 1903, provided with paddles for stirring the contents, and is then discharged on to a tray to be cooled by means of a fan. The roasting-cylinder b has a sliding door b' and two paddles i so arranged that one drives the coffee towards and the other away from, the ends of the cylinder. An openingj covered by a transparent hemisphere k is provided in connection with one of the paddles for inspection. The axle e of the cylinder is mounted in bearings f carried on arms g mounted on a shaft h so that the cylinder can be raised. the cylinder is rotated from the main shaft c by means of the pulleys l, m, a band, the sprockets n and n<2>, and a chain. The pulley l can be put in and out of gear by means of the clutch z, the parts of which are engaged by turning the sleeve z<2> provided with a spiral surface z<3> by means of the arm z<4>. The cylinder is heated by gas burners o, preferably of the kind described in Specification No. 24,726, A.D. 1903, the necessary draught being supplied through the pipe q by the fan r which is driven from the shaft c. When the coffee is sufficiently roasted, the door b<2> is opened and the cylinder is turned by the handle y<3>, the coffee being discharged down the shoot x on to the perforated tray t, where it is cooled by a draught of air drawn through it by the fan u driven from the shaft c. In a modification, the tray t is situated at one side, and the arms g are turned by levers to discharge the cylinder. In this case, a shield is placed below and around the burners to save heat, which, in the arrangement shown, is effected by the walls of the shoot x.

Title: Improved Latch
Inventor: HERDMAN ROBERT DUDDINGSTONE
Filed: 1904-10-25
Granted: 1905-08-24
Abstract: 18,798. Herdman, R. D. Oct. 25. Locks, key; latches.-The gravity latch-bolt B is pivoted at W and is adapted to be retained in its withdrawn position by means of the transverselypivoted catch E which comes in front of its shoulder a. The bolt is operated by means of thumb-pieces fixed to the arm A pivoted at X and connected to the bolt B by the link D. On closing the door, the projection N on the piece E strikes the projection V, Fig. 4, on the striking-plate and causes the bolt B to be released and shot forward. In the striking-plate is fixed the block of rubber T as shown in Fig. 7, so that the bolt in shooting out draws the door close to the frame. For locking the bolt in its shot position from the outside, a pivoted piece C is provided, which is operated by a key. The locking-mechanism consists of plates Z, Fig. 6, vertically movable by the key engaging with the sides m, n of the key opening, to allow the stump s on the piece C to pass from the locked to the unlocked position. From the inside, the latch is blocked by a pivoted catch which engages the lift piece of the handle arm A. In the Provisional Specification, the locking-piece C is described as being held in its locked or unlocked positions by the handle arm A, which is mounted on the same pivot as the bolt B and is adapted always to fall back to its normal position. Also the rubber block T is described as being of L-shape and pivoted, instead of being fixed, to the striking-plate.

Title: An Automatic Calcium Carbide Distributor for Acetylene Gas Generators
Inventor: MORRIS JOHN MCVICKER
Filed: 1905-03-24
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 6206. Morris, J. M. March 24. Acetylene.-Relates to acetylene-generating apparatus actuated by the gas-bolder for automatically supplying carbide to water. The carbide distributor comprises a drum C mounted in a seating F within an inner casing B, which is contained in a casing A, both casings being provided with removable covers. Carbide, contained in a hopper E, falls through a shoot e on to the seating F, which is preferably a grid-like structure, so that dust may fall through into the chamber G. The drum C has cup-shaped recesses c, and is mounted on a spindle D, which revolves in bearings on the walls of the casings and terminates at one end in a squared portion, so that it can be rotated by means of a key at the starting of the apparatus. Flanges f on the inner casing may also form additional bearings for the drum. The carbide as it is carried over by the cups c falls into a cLamber b<1> closed by a cover H, which is pivoted at h, has an extension h<1>, and is retained in position by a weighted catch I, pivoted at i. A lever on the shaft D and within the outer casing releases the catch I twice in every revolution, the cover H being returned into position by the lever subsequently engaging the extension h<1>. The shaft D is rotated by means of a mutilated pinion L, engaging a rack l mounted loosely in a slot in a rod M attached to the gas-holder, and a lever N engaging a stop n on another rod M' attached to the gas-holder. Intermittent rotation in one direction is thus obtained, backward motion being prevented by a ratchet.
