Title: Method of and Apparatus for Treating Coffee Beans.
Inventor: KLEIN LOUIS
IPC: A23F5/20
Filed: 1910-10-25
Granted: 1911-10-25
Abstract: 24,793. Klein, L. Oct. 25. Coffee preparations. - Caffeine is extracted from coffee beans by repeated treatment with a solution of an alkaline mixture, such as slaked lime and soda, at about 200‹ C. The beans are then washed with cold or warm water. The apparatus for carrying out the process comprises a vessel b for dissolving the alkaline mixture, heated by a furnace a and fed with water by a pipe d. The solution is fed to the jacketed extracting-drum l by a pipe k ending in a rotatable cock m, which can be inserted into an opening in the wall of the drum. The washing-water is supplied from a tank p through a pipe r. In a modification of the process, the beans are steeped in a cold solution of alkaline mixture, then placed in the drum, and gradually heated to about 180‹ C. and subjected to alternate treatment with steam at a pressure of from two to five atmospheres and a hot solution of the alkaline mixture. They are then washed as before. For this process, the apparatus is modified by using the vessel b as a steam-generator as well as a mixing-vessel, and joining the upper part by a valved steampipe to the drum l. In another modification, the beans are steeped as before in a cold solution of alkaline mixture and then treated with the solution at from 40‹ to 60‹ C. under gaseous pressure produced by suitable chemicals. The chemicals, such as bicarbonate of soda and potassium tartrate, are placed in pockets in the interior of the extracting-drum, so that when the drum rotates, they are tossed into the extracting-solution, and generate the necessary pressure.

Abstract: 27,901. Auton, H. Dec. 1. String holders. - A string box comprises a drum 8 rotatably mounted by means of its spindle 7 in slotted bearings 6 in an outer casing or framework 1 provided with a swivel hook 2 for suspension. The lower part of the casing has a slotted guide 4 through which the lengths of string are drawn. One of the spindles 7 is cut across to receive the inner end of a volute spring 12, the outer end of the spring being secured to the casing so that the spring is wound in the act of drawing-off string and will return the drum to its normal position at the conclusion of the drawing-off operation. Projecting through the upper part of the casing is a cranked spindle 14, the cranked portion 14a being adapted to bear upon the surface of the drum 8, and one end of the spindle being extended to form an arm 15, which is adapted to be engaged by the outer coil of the spring 12 when the latter is extended; thus the cranked portion 14<a> is pressed against the drum at the conclusion of the return motion, giving a braking effect and preventing excessive rewinding.

Abstract: 29,832. Murphy, T. J. Dec. 22. Kinematograph apparatus. - In a kinematograph, the illumination is made intermittent being started when the pictures are in positior and extinguished while they are being changed The illuminating-means consists of an arc passec between rotating electrodes 3, 4 connected through brushes 5 to the main 1, 2, which is not normally sufficient to start the arc. A circuit consisting of a condenser 8 and a spark gap 9 is connected across the electrodes, the condenser being connected to the secondary 1( of an induction coil 12, of which the primary 11 is connected to the main through the contact breaker 13. This contact-breaker is operated through a cam 26 by a projection 25 on the wheel 24, which operates the intermittent-feed device. When the circuit 11 is opened, the difference of potential induced in the secondary causes the condenser to be charged; the condenser discharges across the gap 9 and the electrodes 3, 4, and, the resistance of the air between the electrodes being thus diminished, the arc passes and continues until rotation of the electrodes causes it to be ruptured. A magnet 31 serves to arch the arc.

Title: Process for Manufacturing Hot Vulcanised Froth from India Rubber, Guttapercha and Balata.
Inventor: PFLEUMER FRITZ
IPC: A63B45/00
Filed: 1911-05-13
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 11,624. Pfleumer, F. Aug. 6, 1910, [Convention date]. Porous or spongy india-rubber &c.-Relates to the manufacture of froth from hot vulcanized india-rubber, gutta-percha, or balata. Ten parts of rubber are kneaded with from one-fifth to 1 part of sulphur, with or without antimony sulphide, and vulcanized under a pressure of 80 to 300 atmospheres. On relieving the pressure, a froth is obtained. If desired, a fourth part by weight of benzene may be added to the rubber, and in this case lower pressures may be employed. The amount of enclosed gas may be increased by adding porous material, such as kieselguhr; short fibres may also be added. Vulcanized or waste india-rubber which contains not more than 10 per cent of free sulphur may also be converted into a froth and worked into inlayings for life-saving dresses, soles or heels for boots, billiard cushions, sound-proof mats for typewriters, and musical instruments. In a modified process, raw rubber is first vulcanized without gas pressure and placed under pressure afterwards, but it is preferable to keep the rubber hot through both treatments. For tyres, rubber should not be allowed to expand after vulcanization to a lower pressure than when in use. Froth may be manufactured from hard rubber &c. by using a dough containing 30 to 50 per cent of sulphur, vulcanizing, and expanding whilst hot. The vulcanizing is continued upon the expanded froth. This product may be used for heat non-conducting or for electric insulation. Specifications 7159/01, 3314/06, 22,640/07, and 13,390/09 are referred to.
