Abstract: 26,918. Thompson, W. P., [Hide-ite Leather Co.]. Nov. 22. Artificial leather; materials, fibrous; pulp, preparation of.-In making stock for leatherboard, the material in the beater engine is washed with the waste water which has previously passed through the engine and which contains tannin, gelatinous tannates, and other soluble compounds extracted from charges of stock already treated. By this procedure, the stock is not deprived of its tannin, stuffing, or other soluble contents, and any gelatine which it may contain is rendered insoluble. Decomposition of the substances contained in the water may be prevented by adding mercury chloride or alum to the contents of the beater from time to time. During the first few passages through the machine, the water becomes more heavily charged with the soluble substances and in commencing operations gelatine may be added to the water to correct the excess of tannin that is usually present. Over-saturation of the water may be prevented by introducing into the beater engine quantities of glue, gluestock, raw hide, or paper stock to combine with the excess of tannin, or fresh water may be added. The fibres that pass through with the water may be settled out and mixed with the pulp stock as it is drawn from the beaters.

Granted: 1914-06-09
Abstract: 13,310. Hammond, J. H. June 7, 1912, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Sound, controlling and actuating apparatus by. - The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes methods of causing apparatus, such as boats, aircraft, vehicles, or revolving lighthouses, to move in a particular direction with respect to a source of radiant energy, such as a source of light or sound waves. Two or more receivers, such as selenium cells or microphones, are so placed on the movable body that, when both are equally affected by the radiant energy, the body faces towards the source of energy, but when one receiver is more strongly affected than the other, the body is caused to move until both receivers are affected equally. In the system described, two selenium cells are separated by a screen, and if the light from a distant source falls on both cells, two relays close circuits through two steering-solenoids respectively, thus keeping the steering-mechanism in its mid-position. If the source of light moves relatively to the body, one of the cells is no longer affected, with the result that only one solenoid is energized, and the steering-mechanism is moved in the direction to turn the boat &c. so that the cells are again affected equally. A similar differential method of controlling a turntable is described, the turntable being driven by a circular rack and a pinion geared to an electro-motor. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Jacquard Mechanism for Embroidery Machines.
Inventor: SAURER HIPPOLYT
IPC: D05C11/16
Filed: 1913-06-09
Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 13,366. Saurer, H. June 9. Embroidery machines.-In automatons having locking-bars such as 35 which prevent the jacquard needles from bringing into action conflicting operations, one card figure is used at different times for bringing into action such conflicting operations. For example, Fig. 5 shows diagrammatically jacquard needles 1 positioned by a certain group of card perforations so as to be capable of operating both a lever 2
, controlling the cutting operation, and a lever 2<f>, controlling the festooning; but the locking- bar 35 permits the operation of the festooning- control-lever 2<f> only. In Fig. 7, the jacquard needles are shown in the same position as in Fig. 5, but the locking-bar being in the position taken up when the perforators are in operation permits the operation of the cutting control lever 2
 only. The jacquard apparatus described is similar to that described in Specification 6155/13, and the locking-bar 35 is similarly operated by a cam-lever when a change in the action of the machine is effected. The change from perforating to cutting is effected by the apparatus shown in Fig. 3. A drum 22 has two cam-surfaces formed in one groove and a roller 21 can be brought into engagement with either bv axial movement of the rod which carries it. A first movement into the cam-groove is caused by the movement of a crank 12 acting through link 13, levers 14, 15, lever 43 (the pivot 59 being practically stationary), link 16, and lever 17, and thereby the roller 21 comes into engagement with the "perforating" cam-surface which is shaped to reciprocate the perforators only when the work-frame is stationary. A further movement into the cam-groove is caused by the movement of the crank 45 acting through link 44, lever 43 (the pivot 58 being stationary), link 16 and lever 17 and thereby the roller 21 comes into engagement with the "cutting" camsurface which is shaped to reciprocate the perforators both when the work-frame is stationary and when it is moving. The movements imparted to the roller 21 by the cam are shared by the lever 20 in which its carrying rod 19 slides and are transmitted to the perforating rails.
