Title: Candle Emitting a Coloured Light.
Inventor: SCHEUBLE RUDOLF
Filed: 1907-09-11
Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 20,288. Scheuble, R. Sept. 11. Candles which emit a coloured light are formed of materials that burn with an almost non-luminous flame, and metallic salts &c. which colour the flame. Suitable materials are the aliphatic compounds of low molecular weight which contain the carbonyl, carboxyl, amino, or hydroxyl radicles, such as acid amides, esters of acids especially polybasic acids, hydroxy acids and their esters, lactones and lactides, for example, methyl oxalate, oxamic acid esters, carbonic acid esters, acetamide, lactic acid anhydride, lactide, lactamide, succinimide. In order to colour the flame, metallic salts are added to the candle materials, or to the wick, together with ammonium or organic nitrates or nitrites &c. which decompose energetically on the wick during burning and serve to atomize the metallic salt in the flame ; or metal wires or laminµ, or fine glass tubes filled with a metallic salt or a metal are placed parallel with the wick, and a chlorous substance may be mixed with the candle materials. In examples, a mixture of ethyl oxamate, ethyl carbonate, and ammonium nitrate is used to form candles, and the wicks are impregnated with lithium, strontium, or calcium salts to obtain a red flame, or - with barium or thallium salts for green ; or candles formed of ethyl carbonate are provided parallel with the wick with a small tube, made of glass free from sodium, and filled with lithium chloride.
Patent GB-190720779-A (GB)
Title: A Safety Device for the Locks of Setting Levers.
IPC: B61L19/16
Filed: 1907-09-18
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 20,779. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Sept. 18. Points and switches.-A brake-device is described which absorbs all blows on the block key and thus only allows the release of the setting-lever lock mechanism such as is described in Specification No. 7362, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Railway signals &c.], when the mechanism is properly actuated. The signal lever 1, Fig. 1, when in the normal position, is locked by the engagement of the pawl 7 with the locking-bar 2. By depressing the block key 3, a lever 6, pivoted at 5, is raised to the position shown in Fig. 3, and a lever 8, pulled by a spring 9, raises the pawl 7 by means of a projection 10. At the same time the bar 4 becomes locked by the pawl 11 and locks the bar 2, this bar being released to allow the lever to be pulled over when the electro-magnet 13 is energized and the rod 4 unlocked and raised by its spring. To prevent the release by means of accidental blows, the pendulum 14 is added, and in the normal position is locked by the finger 15. When the lever 6 is depressed, the spring 16 slowly pulls the pendulum out of the path of the lever, which is thus allowed to rise to the clear position only if the rod 4 is depressed steadily into the position shown in Fig. 3. If the rod 4 is suddenly depressed, the inertia of the pendulum prevents it from clearing the lever, and the unlocking of the pawl 7 is thus avoided. A locking-pendulum may also be placed in the path of the push rod, and to prevent wear, the pendulums may be made small, and the inertia assisted by a fly-wheel. The invention may be applied to railway-point mechanism and to other pawls of points levers.

Filed: 1908-07-11
Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 14,749. Ronchetti, R. F. July 11. Felt hats ; silk hats; waterproof hats. - A water proofing-composition is applied to the first thickness of felt, or upon the rigid shape of a felt or silk hat, and, in order to absorb perspiration and to prevent the composition penetrating the first thickness of felt or the shape there is insered between the layer of waterproofing-composition and the inner layer of felt or between it and the shape of the hat, in the case of a silk hat, several leaves of silk paper. In the manufacture of a felt hat according to this invention, a thin layer of so-called 'adherent felt' a is placed upon the block and shaped. Upon the brim of this a piece of swanskin c is cemented, rising a short distance up the crown of the hat so as to give it stiffness. The shape is withdrawn from the block, and the brim is stitched completely round the hat and close to the crown. The shape is replaced and one or more sheets of silk paper are cemented upon the hat, which, when dry, is covered completely by a waterproofing-composition consisting of a preparation of flax or nut oil, siccative, india-rubber, and gum dammar. When the coating is dry, a second thin layer of felt is used to cover it. A small quantity of cork may be added to the waterproofing-composition in the case of hard felt hats. In the case of silk hats a sheet of silk paper is first cemented upon the rigid form, then a sheet of muslin, and a second sheet of silk paper, which carries the waterproofing-composition. The seam produced by sewing the swan-skin and felt together at the brim may serve to secure the head band by a thread passed through the stitches so that it may be replaced without sewing through the hat.
