Title: Improved Process for Manufacturing Ammonium Sulphate.
Inventor: COLLETT EMIL
IPC: C01C1/244
Filed: 1910-12-17
Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 29,386. Collett, E., and Eckardt, M. Dec. 20, 1909, [Convention date].

Title: Process for the Manufacture of Artificial Stone.
Inventor: HIPPE ERNST EBERHARD
IPC: C04B24/14
Filed: 1910-12-24
Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 30,035. Hippe, E. E. Dec. 24. Stone, hardening; figured artificial stone.- Artificial stone, such as malachite is made by producing in a mould or upon a backing a film of a solution of a salt of a heavy metal, such as zinc sulphate, with or without colouring- agents, or having a coloured effect upon the cement afterwards added, and in some cases adding a retarding-agent, and afterwards pouring upon this film one or more coloured or uncoloured cements or moulding - material which react with the film of metal salt forming insoluble compounds, thus rendering the surface hard and in some cases producing shades of colour. Size water containing blood albumen may be added to the cement or salt, and sparkling granular material may be sprinkled upon the salt film. In order to form a pattern, the mass is kept in motion, for example by inclining the foundation or mould. The surface may be impregnated with alkaline silicate solution, with or without soluble chlorides.

Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 9944. P÷rscke, H. P. R. L., and Achenbach, J. A. E. April 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Electrodes for alkaline accumulators consist of poorly conductive active material without cond u c t i v e additions, pasted into metal gauze, which may have 300 meshes per sq. cm. Preferably, nickel gauze is used, the meshes being filled but not covered with the active material, such as green oxyhydrate of nickel for the positives and ferrous oxide for the negatives. The pasted gauze may be rolled upon a conductive strip or tube c, welded electrically to one end of it, and the resulting cylinder, after being compressed by rolling or in a mould, may be wound with nickel wire d attached at each end to the central tube c. The cylinder may then be covered with linen secured by string, or cotton may be spun upon it, to prevent disintegration, and a number of cylinders may be mounted, in contact or nearly so, in a light frame.

Patent GB-191113644-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Sewing Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: D05B15/00
Filed: 1911-06-07
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 13,644. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. June 7. Boot-sole sewing machines; stopping-gear, non-automatic.-The stopping-gear is arranged to bring the machine to rest with the needle withdrawn from the work and without a loop of thread in its barb. In one form of apparatus, a known form of stopping-gear which produces a reversal in the direction of running of the machine before bringing it finally to rest is timed to secure the reversal of the machine when the needle is in the work and to bring the machine to rest with the needle away from the work. By these means, the thread loop previously held by the needle-barb is transferred to the needle-shank in the usual way, and either the looper does not place a new loop in the needle-barb or, if it does so, upon the reversal of its movements the loop is removed. Fig. 2 shows in end view the stopping-gear. A lug 58, attached to one end of a spiral spring the other end of which is attached to the inside of the pulley 28, is stopped when the clutch is disengaged by a finger 46. Thereafter, first the kinetic energy in the machine is used to wind up the spring, and then the spring causes a reversal of the pulley 28 and the machine parts until a lug 61 engages the other side of the finger 46. When the clutch is disengaged, the movement of the pulley 28 is restrained by a strap-brake 62, one end of which is connected to a lever 70. This lever is rotated by the engagement of a bowl 72 upon it with a camsurface 73 on a lever 51, which controls the finger 46. The clutch rod 36 and the rod 57 are connected to the stop-treadle. The finger 46 can be withdrawn to free the machine for manual operation by the handle 58 of the lever 51, which, for that purpose, is jointed to the rod 57 by a pin-and-slot connexion.
