Title: Improvements in Electric Switches or Relays.
Inventor: VERA ANGEL
Filed: 1905-05-16
Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 10,298. Vera, A., and Vera, L. G. May 17, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Switches.-In relays or switches wherein electric contacts are made and broken by electro-magnetic means, the opposing sets of magnets 4, 5 which actuate the circuit-governing armature 1 are so constructed that one set becomes energized and de-energized more rapidly than the other. For this purpose, one set 4 may have its members 6 connected by some magnetic material 8, and the other set 5 its members connected by some non- magnetic material 11 ; preferably a resistance 24 is placed in the base between the two electromagnets, which are connected in parallel as shown, and the set 4 is arranged so as to have a higher resistance than the set 5. The relative positions of the magnets with reference to the armature are regulated by screws and springs 12 and to ensure that the armature shall fall back on to the stop 14 excepting when the line circuit is closed, the base is tilted as indicated in Fig. 2. On the line circuit 16, 17, Fig. 3, being closed, the armature 1 is attracted to the contact 15, so as to close the second circuit 27, 28, because the field of the magnets 5 builds up more rapidly than that of the magnets 4, but, on the line circuit being opened, the time lag on the set 4 is so considerable that the magnets are sufficiently powerful, even when the magnets 9 are practically de-energized, to pull over the armature 1 and thus secure a positive operation for the relay iu both directions.

Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 12,746. Pott, E., and Ullner, W. July 1, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cleaning bottles.-On the nozzle k of the tube d is fixed a sand-containing vessel, the cap of which is provided with sieves n, and which is surmounted by a mouthpiece with a perforated bottom, through which projects a detachable tube q, the lower flared end of which is held above the nozzle k. A mouthpiece t with a perforated bottom is also fastened on the tube c. On depression of the treadle i and consequent release of the spring- controlled valve g, water passes from the supply pipe f to the tubes c, d. A stream of sand and water is thus carried up the tube q, cleansing the interior of the bottle, and afterwards passing down through the perforated mouthpiece into the vessel l, whence the water escapes through the sieves n into the trough b. The bottles are afterwards rinsed out over the tube c, resting on the mouthpiece t, whence the water is also discharged into the trough. The trough may be provided with a filter yielding clean water for washing the outside of the vessel.

Title: Device for Mixing Liquids in Definite Proportions
Inventor: SCHUMACHER HEINRICH
Filed: 1905-10-05
Granted: 1906-07-19
Abstract: 20,144. Schumacher, H. Oct. 5. Measured quantities, delivering.-In apparatus for mixing liquids, scoops dipping into the liquids are carried' by a shaft rotated by a bucket-wheel which has an intermittent, rotary, adjustably-retarded motion, and is driven by a. liquid, which mayor may not be one of those to be mixed. Buckets z, equally distributed about a shaft w, are provided with projections p which engage with the arm u<1> of a weighted bell-crank lever. When one bucket has been filled by the pipe r<1>, the wheel rotates and empties the contents of the bucket into the vessel b<1>, from which it is delivered to the mixing-vessel by a pipe r<2>. The movement of the wheel is retarded by making the projections p shovelshaped, and this retardation is regulated by a sleeve h upon the pipe r<2>. The shaft w also carries tubes r<3> with counterpoised scoops sch, fig. 3, which retain liquid in the portion m and deliver it by means of the pipes r<3>, r<4>, r<5> to the mixing-vessel. For several liquids, tanks side by side are used, the scoops being driven from the same wheel and varied in size and number. In a modified form, the bucket-wheel is held in bearings in the forked end of a counterpoised lever, and the projections p engage a fixed stop, from which they are disengaged by the wheel sinking at a certain load. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specifications No. 3733, A.D. 1869, No. 893, A.D. 1872, No. 2421, A.D. 1873, No 2872, A.D. 1876, No. 21,955, A.D. 1893, [Abridgment Class Weighing-apparatus], No. 18,268, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Filtering &c.], No. 14,282, A.D. 1902.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Weft Replenishing or Filling Change Looms
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
Filed: 1905-11-13
Granted: 1906-10-11
Abstract: 23,266. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Nov. 13. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically ; change-box motions ; stop-motions.- In a loom provided at one side with a two-compartment drop-box, which is operated by suitable connexions from a partially-toothed crank-wheel operated by a master-gear in connexion with a pattern chain in the usual manner, a rocking copmagazine is placed at the other side of the loom and is adapted to carry cops of two different colours corresponding to those in the shuttles The magazine may be of the Northrop or other type, and comprises a fixed disk 61, and a rotatable sleeve 62 on a fixed spindle 63. A disk 65 is secured to the sleeve adjacent to the disk 61, and flanges on the disks form a guideway 65<111> for the bobbin heads. A second disk is secured at the outer end of the sleeve 62, and has concentric flanges forming a guideway for the bobbin tips. The cops 9 drop down the guideways by gravity on both sides of the spindle 63, and a stop 66 divides the guideway 65<111> into two divisions, each containing cops of a different colour. A lever 60 is secured to the sleeve 62 and is connected by suitable linkwork to the rod of the drop-box, so that the magazine is rocked in unison with the movements of the drop-box, and a cop similar to that in the active shuttle is always in position under the transferrer 67 with the head and tip of its bobbin opposite openings in the guideways. The tips of the lowest bobbins are held by curved blade-springs, and the head of the bobbin, which is below the transferrer, is held up by a spring-pressed pivoted arm 69 and a stationary plate 68, which has grooves corresponding to those in the bobbin head. The transferrer is actuated in the usual way on substantial exhaustion of the weft in the active shuttle, by a bunter on the lay striking the raised end of an arm pivoted on a lever on the rock-shaft 76 of the transferrer arm 75. The weft-feeler described is of the type which is drawn back when the weft is substantially exhausted, as stated in the Provisional Specification by the feeler making contact with the usual band on the bobbin, and, when the feeler is so moved, one end of a bell-crank lever is free to move past its end, and the other end of the lever pushes a rod into an opening in a vertically-movable plate. The movement of a cam-actuated rod in the said opening is blocked, and the plate is raised by the rod, and acts through suitable mechanism to free an arm connected to the pivoted arm, which is struck by the bunter on the lay. This pivoted arm is raised into its operative position by a spring. The bell-crank lever is moved back to its initial position by cam-oscillated mechanism. When the weft breaks, the end of the weft fork is engaged by a cam-oscillated lever, and the loom is stopped in the ordinary manner.

Title: Improvements in Photographic Shutters.
Inventor: BECK CONRAD
Filed: 1905-12-05
Granted: 1906-03-22
Abstract: 25,237. Beck, C., and Beck, H. C. Dec. 5. Shutters.-Relates to shutters of the type described in Specifications No. 20,852, A.D. 1890, and No. 9820, A.D. 1892, in which the exposure required is obtained by varying the size of an aperture which crosses the lens opening at a uniform speed. The exposing plates and the winding and setting mechanism revolve upon different centres. One of the plates a, Fig. 2, can rotate only in one direction, and is held stationary, until the shutter is released, by the projection c' on the spindle c engaging between the pawls v, w. The other plate b is driven through the gearing e, d by the winding and setting mechanism on the spindle o, and can be set to vary the aperture formed with the plate a. Both plates rotate together by friction during the whole period of exposure. The wheel e is mounted loosely on the spindle o and between the flange of the sleeve f and the cup i, which is clamped against an inner flange of the sleeve f by the nut g. The cup i carries one end of the winding-spring l and at its outer end a graduated indicating-dial h. The fixed end of the spring is attached to the cap l<1>, which is fixed by the nut m. The shutter is set by winding the setting-head s. The pin s<1> thereon projects through the wheel e and engages one of the notches f<3> on the flange of the sleeve f, which in turn rotates the cup i through the nut g and winds up the springs. The disk b is rotated through one complete revolution. The shutter is held in the set position by the projection y' engaging the flange of the sleeve f. When the catch y<1> is released, the projection y<2> simultaneously releases the pawl w and both plates rotate together for the exposure. The aperture is varied after winding up by retracting the winding-head against the pressure of the spring i<1>, thereby disengaging the pin s' from the sleeve f and enabling the wheel e to be independently rotated and the plate b set by means of the graduated dial h. The pin s' subsequently locks with a corresponding notch f<3> in the sleeve f. For bulb and time exposures, sliding bolts f<1>,f<2>, Fig. 6, on the sleeve f are provided and have pins engaging slots e<1>, e<2> in the wheel e. These slots are concentric for the portion corresponding to the adjustment of the wheel e for instantaneous exposures but are shaped at their ends for setting the bolts f<1>, f<2> for bulb and time exposures. In setting the head s for bulb exposures, the bolt f<2> is projected by the slot e' so as to be caught by the projection y<e> when the aperture is in front of the lens, but passes when the release lever regains its normal position. In setting for time exposures by a further rotation, the bolt f<2> is not moved farther, but the bolt f<1> is moved by the slot e', so as to engage the catch y<1>. The exposure is completed by a second release.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Jacquard Machines.
Inventor: YOUNG JOHN ROBSON
Filed: 1906-02-08
Granted: 1906-05-31
Abstract: 3077. Young, J. R., and Hunter, J. Feb. 8. Loom jacquards. - Relates to looms for weaving figured fabrics, in which the jacquard is provided with reciprocating frames such as f, f<1> having crossbars e, e<1> adapted to actuate the needles a to form the ground or part of the ground, while cards on the barrel d actuate the needles to produce the figuring or other part of the grounds, a reduction in the number of cards employed being thereby effected. The card barrel d is actuated by a rod connected to a bell-crank lever L provided with a pin j, which is adapted to be engaged by a double hook J pivoted on a pull-rod K. The hook J is normally held in the position shown by a wire m connected to a spring-controlled lever M, but when a cord n from the jacquard is pulled, the hook J is moved by a spring O to engage the pin j, and the card barrel is moved against the needles a, the rod K being acted upon by a crank, eccentric, or the like. When in the position shown, the hook J engages a pin i on a bell-crank lever I, to which is pivoted an arm H having a double hook h. This hook is adapted to engage one of two pins g, g<1> on extensions of the frames f, f<1> respectively, according as a pendent rod P is tilted by a jacquard cordp, or is untilted, so that, when the card barrel is not being operated, one of the frames f, f<1> is moved to the left against the action of a spring f<2>, and its bars c or e<1> disengage alternate uprights b from the griff-knives c. Usually between each two movements of the card barrel a movement of one of the frames f, f<1> occurs, and the frames are moved alternately, but if no figuring is to be produced, or if the figuring is produced at intervals alternating with the ground, the cards control the ground shedding alternately with the bars of the frames. The uprights b may be coupled to the needles in pairs of rows as shown, or to single needle?, in which case the number of cross-bars e, e<1> is doubled. In split harness and leno or like work, the hook h may be arranged to engage both ping g, g<1> simultaneously, the rcd P being dispensed with.

Abstract: 29,661. Norris, W. M. Dec. 29. Hides and skins, raw, treating; tawing; tanning. -To eliminate the use of excrementitious matter, and to prevent injury of the gelatinous fibre, the skins, after being depilated by lime and arsenic, are treated with a solution of sodium thiosulphate. To remove the chemicals with which it has been treated, the stock is treated with a solution preferably of hydrochloric acid and salt, to which saccharine matter may be added for some classes of leather. The skins are cut and tested from time to time with phenol phthalein. The hides are next slated to remove fine hairs and non-tannable matter, and may be washed in salt water. They are then subjected to a slight tawing action, and are tanned by the chrome process.
