Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Enlarging Photographs and the like.
Inventor: ROBINSON RALPH WINWOOD
IPC: G03B27/54
Filed: 1909-02-23
Granted: 1910-02-23
Abstract: 4479. Robinson, R. W., and Robinson, L. L. Feb. 23. [Cognate Application, 6413/09.] Enlarging, copying, and reducing.-The apparatus comprises a box, conveniently of rectangular section and with an opening c, Fig. 3, for the negative. Around the sides of the box immediately adjacent to the opening, a number of lights e are fitted and are partly enclosed in reflectors d, which shield the negative from direct light and throw the light on to a removable and adjustable reflector f at the back of the box. If an opaque object is to be copied, the reflector is removed and replaced by the object, which is thus illuminated by the lights e. The hinged front j of the box is detachably secured, and serves as a support for the copying-camera.

Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 6270. Chemische Fabrik vorm. Sandoz. Sept. 24, 1908, [Convention date]. Oxazine dyes.-Blue and violet dyes are obtained by condensing gallocyanine (obtained from nitrosodimethylaniline and gallic acid) with resorcin in alkaline solution in presence of a current of air or other oxidizing-agent ; according to examples, by carrying out the process in cold or warm solution, two different bodies are obtained ; under suitable conditions a by-product is obtained, the leuco derivative of which appears identical with the gallocyanine - resorcin condensation product described in Specification 24,802/93. The sulphonic acids of the bodies prepared according to the present process dye chrome-mordanted wool blue or violet shades. The leuco compounds are suitable for calico-printing, giving blue to violet shades ; they may be obtained by reduction with zinc in acid solution or with sodium sulphide or other alkaline reduciug-agent.

Abstract: 8670. Clark, W., [Adlerwerke vorm. H. Kleyer Akt.-Ges.]. April 10. Type-lever actions of the kind in which the typelevers 2 are connected to parallel key-levers 13 by intermediate members comprising radially-mounted intermediate levers 8 having equal or unequal arms. To avoid cranking of the intermediate members, the lower ends of the levers 8 are connected by links 9 to bell-crank levers 10, which are actuated by the key-levers 13, preferably by pin-and-slot connexions 12. The levers 8 are pivoted radially on an arcuate wire 7, and the upper ends are connected by links 6 to heels on the type-levers 2. The levers 8 are of increasing lengths from the middle outwards, whereas all the other intermediate members are of constant length. The levers 10 and the type-levers 2 move in different planes, and, to permit the necessary lateral play, the links 6, 9, which are connected to the levers 8 by ball pivots, are slightly twisted. To equalize the strokes of key-levers in different banks, the point of engagement of the key-levers 13 with the bellcrank levers 10 is varied from bank to bank. In a modification, the intermediate levers 8 are mounted at the rear of the type-levers.

Title: A Soluble Protein or Albumen and a Process for the Production of the same from Meat Fibre or other Insoluble Protein Matter.
Inventor: VASEY SAMUEL ARCHIBALD
IPC: A23J1/02
Filed: 1909-09-10
Granted: 1910-09-12
Abstract: 20,766. Vasey, S. A. Sept. 10. Proteins. - Soluble protein is obtained from insoluble albuminous matter by dissolving it in dilute caustic soda or potash, adding a suitable clarifying-agent to remove the fat, converting the said agent into insoluble carbonate by means of carbon dioxide or ammonium carbonate or both, and subsequently converting any excess of soda or potash into phosphorus or other salts by the addition of one or more of the oxyacids or acid salts of phosphorus, or of other similar acids. Suitable acids and acid salts are phosphoric acid, acid calcium phosphate, sulphuric, citric. tartaric, and malic acids, and any other acid which forms a more or less insoluble calcium salt. As clarifying- agents lime, strontia, or calcium chloride, acetate or nitrate, &c. may be used. Instead of employing caustic alkali, a mixture which gives rise to it, such as alkali carbonate and lime, may be used.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Generating Acetylene Gas.
Inventor: DUCELLIER GABRIEL
IPC: C10H1/00
Filed: 1909-10-06
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 22,758. Ducellier, G. Oct. 6. Regulating head of liquid directly.-Relates to acetylene generators of the type in which over-production of gas shuts off the water supply by forcing the water - level below the opening leading to the carbide chamber. A carbide chamber d is suspended in a casing c secured by bolts h to the cover of the water vessel a. At the bottom of the water vessel is a compartment k communicating therewith by holes l, and having an opening u leading to the carbide chamber. The opening u is regulated by a conical valve p pressed on to its seat by a spring q. Gas generated passes by a tube w to an exit cock x, and, when the pressure is high, forces water down the tube y and from the vessel k, depressing the level below the opening u and thus suspending the water supply to the carbide.

Title: Improvements in the Method of Cutting Double Helical Gear Wheels.
Inventor: LLEWELLIN WILLIAM MABERLY
IPC: B23F1/04
Filed: 1910-07-21
Granted: 1911-08-21
Abstract: 17,307. Llewellin, W. M. July 21. Gear - cutting. - Double helical wheels are cut by planing. In a tooth-curve generating-machine, the blank E is oscillated through a dividing-apparatus B by a wormwheel C driven by a shaft C<3> connected to shafts C', Y by differential gearing, not shown. The shaft C' is change-geared to a shaft G<2>, which drives a right and left hand screw for reciprocating the tool heads D<2>, d<2>, and the shaft Y is change-geared to the feed screw J for giving the saddle carrying the cutter heads a feed tangential to the blank. The shaft G<2> is oscillated by a pinion meshing with a rack F<3> reciprocated by a crank pin and slot. The two tools are operating upon adjacent tooth spaces in order to avoid fouling. The tools may act on the same space, a hole or groove being provided at the centre for them to cut into. In a modification, the tool slides are traversed by half nuts carried on levers, and are returned after the cut by weights. The right and left hand screw rotates continuously, and cams throw the nuts into and out of engagement alternately. The reciprocating motion of the rack is conveyed to the blank through means such as elliptic gearing to produce a uniform motion during each reversal. The machine may be employed for form cutter work, the differential gear being rendered inoperative for such purpose.

Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the closed end of the tubular casing is drilled to form a seating g for the shoulder d of a rubber sleeve valve. When the valve-supporting member e is screwed into the casing, the shoulder d presses in an airtight manner on the seating g.

Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 1209. M³ller, W. A. T. Jan. 17. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power ; armatures and fields of motors supplied from separate sources.-In an electric motor train, driven by separate motors on interconnected vehicles supplied by separate sources of current for the armatures and fields of the motors respectively, the armatures a are all connected in parallel to mains 1, 2, and the fields b are all connected in series between separate mains 3, 4. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the control is obtained by varying the excitation of the dynamo D on the driver's vehicle, and by varying the excitation of the motors by a resistance Z in circuit with the source, for instance, a battery B, supplying their fields. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the fields are supplied by a second generator d, the excitation of which is dependent upon the current in the armature circuit 1, 2, which current circulates in a field winding f of the generator d. A reversing-switch U is in each case included in the field circuit 3, 4, and controls the direction in which the motors drive the train. The braking of the train may be obtained by throttling the supply of fuel to the internal-combustion engine which is employed to drive the dynamo D in Fig. 1, the motors then returning energy to be wasted in the engine, and also by varying the excitation of the field magnets b. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the switch U is reversed to effect the braking. The excitation of the individual motors may be adjusted by means of shunt resistances p. The system is applicable to trains running upon rails as well as in railless traction.
