Inventor: FRIEDBERGER OTTO
IPC: C12P7/56
Filed: 1911-01-31
Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 2507. Friedberger, O. Jan. 31. Lactic acid; lactates. - Lactic acid is prepared by fermentation of dextrose by bacillus Delbrucki which has been specially treated so that it will act upon dextrose. The bacillus is developed in maltose solution at 120-125‹ F., and is then accustomed to dextrose by addition of the solution at intervals. The bacillus is then added to dextrose solution (obtained from grape sugar or potato starch) which has been sterilized and cooled to 120‹ F., and to which chalk sufficient to combine with the lactic acid has been added. The fermentation is completed by additions of bacillus bulgaricus and bacillus acidi lactici. Asparagine, peptone, &c. may be added as food for the ferment. The fermented liquor is filtered through bone black and concentrated in vacuo, and the calcium lactate is decomposed by the addition of sulphuric acid.

Abstract: 5993. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 9. Electro-magnetic switches.-A notching-relay for controlling the successive operation of a number of electrically-operated switches or contactors in an electric motor control system, comprises two sets of normally closed switch contacts o, o<1>, and coils 19, 20 for actuating the switch contacts, each coil being connected in series with the contacts controlled by the other coil, and terminating at the contacts 31, 32 of a switch mechanism 30 operated by the coils 19, 20'. The movements of the switch 30, which is arranged to engage both contacts 31, 32 before it leaves either, in consequence alternately establishes circuit through the actuating coils 19, 20. A third coil 21, excited by the load circuit, is located between the actuating-coils of the relay and serves as a maintaining coil to prevent the falling of either core until the load current has fallen to a safe value. The relay mechanism may have a time limit and for this purpose the cores 17, 18 are coupled to dashpots 38, 39, which should be arranged so that the opening of the contacts o, o<1> is not retarded but the subsequent operation of the switch 30 in either direction is subject to a time interval introduced by the dash-pots; the cores 17, 18 fall freely in closing the contacts o, o<1>. The relay is provided with iron frames 23, 24, and an adjustable core 25 screwed into the lower one is surrounded by the current coil 21. Thus, by means of one current coil the cores 17, 18 are prevented from closing the circuits under their control at the contacts o, o<1> until the load current has fallen to a value predetermined by the adjustment of the core 25. Specification 7113/09 is referred to.

Abstract: 3498. Olmsted, C. M. Feb. 12. Screw and like propellers.-Relates to screw and like propellers for aerial machines and toys, of the kind in which the blades are widest at the boss and are concavo-convex in crosssection. The blades have their widest part twice as wide as the portion at three-fourths of the extreme radius, more than three-fifths of the area of blade surface is within the halfradius, and more than one-quarter of the area is within the quarter-radius. The variation in width is such that from the root to a portion near it the width increases to a maximum, then decreases slowly, then rapidly, and again slowly near the tip. The propeller shown in Fig. 2 has two blades 1, 2 having the above properties, the maximum width occurring at the position where the pitch angle is greater than 45 degrees. The blades are either concavo-convex in section or flat. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the width of blade required is made up in two blades 5, 7 and 6, 8. It is stated that the maximum efficiency is obtained by making the width a of the blades at a distance r from the axis in accordance with the law where a=tan-<1> C/r a is the angle of the blade section with the plane of the propeller, C a constant for the true helix, P the pitch, k a constant determined experimentally, and # the angle between the direction of the reacting fluid and a perpendicular to the plane or surface reacted upon.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Circular Knitting Machines and the Fabrics Produced thereon.
IPC: D04B9/38
Filed: 1912-09-21
Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 21,523. Wardle & Davenport, Walker, F. W., and Sherratt, J. T. Sept. 21. Circular machines.-Relates to the production of narrow seamless tubular fabrics, such as neck-ties, with two or more vertical or diagonal coloured stripes. A number of thread feeders 1 arranged side by side on a pivot 3 are operated in succession by cams 10 on a rotary disk 9 to produce the stripes. The disk 9 is geared to the needle cylinder, either directly or through intermediate gearing 13, 14, 15. By suitably arranging the ratio between these wheels, either vertical or diagonal stripes are obtainable. The actuating-cams may consist of a series of removable bits 18, Fig. 4, mounted in tricks in the wheel 9. When the invention is applied to a stationary cylinder machine, the staggered effect may be produced by shogging the cylinder. A ratchet-wheel 21, Fig. 7, and a locking-plate 22 are attached to the cylinder 8 which is moved on at each revolution of the cam box by a cam 23, lever 25, slide 27, and pawl 28. A bolt 30 normally engages the locking-plate 22 and is unlocked when the wheel 21 is to be racked on, by an incline 32 of the slide 27 acting on a roller 33. In another form, applicable also to a stationary cylinder machine, thread - feeder actuating - cams are arranged around the bed-plate of the machine, while the feeders are carried round and are successively operated by the cam acting on the staggered lower ends of plungers 12, Fig. 10, situated below the feeders. The plungers are supported when raised by a spring detent 37 entering notches 38. Each plunger in turn when raised disengages the detent 37 from the previouslyraised plunger, and is itself engaged. To obtain the diagonal effect, the cylinder is shogged, or the thread-feeder actuating-cams may be mounted on a ratchet-wheel. Clutch mechanism may be provided on the cylinder or between the wheels 13, 14, Fig. 3, for throwing out the patterning attachment. Another method of producing substantially the same fabric consists in providing pairs of patternwheels 51, 52 mounted upon a common axle 55 Double-butted needles are employed, the lower butts running along the level indicated in Fig. 15 by the broken line. The needle-raising teeth or pickers in the wheels 51, 52 are arranged so that a group of needles is operated by an upper wheel 51 to pass over the cam 53 and forms a solid diagonal stripe, the wheel 52 being meanwhile inoperative. The needle immediately following the group of strip-knitting needles is raised by the wheel 52 sufficiently to take the stripe thread without clearing its loop. The wheels at the next feed are so arranged that the tucking-needle is the first of a stripe-forming group, and thus unites the edges of the adjacent stripes. The diagonal effect is obtained by making the cylinder and the pattern wheels rotate at different rates.
