Title: Improved Process of Dyeing Indigo and similar Dyestuffs.
IPC: D06P1/22
Filed: 1910-06-04
Abstract: 13,588. Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning. June 7, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Vat dyeing.-After dyeing in the packed state vegetable and animal fibres, such as loose wool and cotton, laps, slivers, yarns, warps, and hosiery, such as stockings, gloves, &c., with vat dyes, particularly indigo, helindon, algol, indanthrene, and ciba dyes, in, for example, the "Obermaier" apparatus, the material treated is subjected to a gradually increasing pressure until it contains less than 100 per cent of the liquor. After the pressing, which may be effected with an hydraulic press mounted on the dyeing-apparatus itself, the materials are removed, allowed to oxidize, rinsed, and dried. Dyeings so obtained are stated to be faster to rubbing.

Title: Improvements in Decorticating Machinery.
Inventor: PAPE FREDERIC AUGUSTUS GEORGE
IPC: D01B1/14
Filed: 1910-06-09
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 13,997. Pape, F. A. G. June 9. Scutching - apparatus; feeding and transferring flax &c.-Relates to that type of apparatus in which the leaves placed transversely on a conveyer belt are delivered to a pair of gripping-chains, which grip the leaves centrally and hold them while the ends, depending on one side of the chains, are scutched by a wheel, the partially-stripped leaves being immediately gripped by another pair of chains overlapping the first pair and the unscutched ends presented to a second scutching-wheel on the opposite side of the machine. The upper portion of the lower chain of each pair of gripping-chains c, c<1>, Fig. 1, runs upon a series of rollers a<1> journaled in a raceway a having a grooved floor a<2>, as shown in Fig. 4, leading to outlets a<3> from which the pulp is discharged. The outlets are preferably spaced between successive rollers a', and alternately lead to opposite sides of the raceway. The lower portion of the upper chain of each pair of gripping-chains is pressed downwardly by rollers b journaled in a carriage b<1>, which is mounted in the machine frame and pressed downwardly by adjustable springs b<3>. The co-operating faces of the chains are V- shaped with rounded angles, and the chains are driven by octagonal sprocket-wheels d having teeth d<1>, of which the sides taper both ways, and the flat tips are parallel with the sides of the sprocket-wheel. The chains are driven from a pinion f<1> on the driven shaft f of the second scutching - wheel D' through the medium of pinions e<5>, e<3> on a countershaft e<4> and a bevelwheel e<2> on the shaft e, carrying the driving- sprockets of both upper chains, which impart a frictional drive to the lower chains. In a modified arrangement, in which the chains overlap so as to ensure the second pair of chains gripping the leaves before they are released by the first pair, the sprocket-wheels at adjacent ends of the chains c, c<1> are keyed respectively on two parallel shafts h, h<1> connected by bevelgearing i, i<1>, j<1> with a shaft j driven in the same manner as the shaft e above. Each scutching-shoe is mounted by slides g<3> in guides g<4> in the bed-plate, and is adjustable laterally by a screw provided with a hand-wheel g<5> and screwing through brackets g<6> bolted to the bedplate; by means of screws g<2> passing through lugs g<1> on the shoe, the shoe can be adjusted vertically with respect to the slides. The leaves are directed downwards towards the shoe of the second scutching-wheel D<1> by guides k, l; and a fork m detaches any portions of the leaves that may adhere to the chain, The fibres are delivered into a receiver E.

Title: An Improved Combined Fire Alarm and Preventive False Fire Alarm.
Inventor: POPHAM WILLIAM VYVYAN MOLESWOR
IPC: G08B25/12
Filed: 1910-08-26
Granted: 1911-08-28
Abstract: 19,941. Popham, W. V. M., and Gordon, N. R. Aug. 26. No Patent granted, (Sealing fee not paid). Fire-alarm apparatus. -In a fire-alarm device, in order to prevent false alarms from being given, it is arranged that it is necessary to retain the operating-member in the operative position for a determined interval of time before the station bell or other signal is operated, and immediately the attempt is made to operate the alarm a gong or bell is rung near the device. A spring in the drum b, Fig. 2, is arranged to rotate the spindle c through gearing, at a speed which can be adjusted by a brake d, the spindle being normally prevented from rotating by the wedge-shaped piece j<4>, which is in contact with a projecting tooth g<1> on a wheel g. The front end of the spindle carries a wheel e', on which is mounted an insulated metal ring f, part of which is cut away at f<1>, Fig. 4. The handle h is carried on two rods sliding in sleeves h<2>, and is normally retracted by the springs h<3> ; it also carries a third rod j, from which depends an arm j' carrying the stop-piece j<4>. One line to the firestation is connected to a spring l<1> carrying a contact l pressed on the metal ring f, the other is connected to a lever m, which is kept off the ring f by a spring m<2>, and the leads of an electric bell k at the call station are connected to two insulated contacts m. To give an alarm, the glass panel x' is broken, and the handle h pulled forward. This releases the clock-work, and the pin m<3> presses the lever m round towards the ring f, but the station-alarm circuit is not closed until the ring has rotated for some time, owing to the gap f<1>. The block n<2> bridges the space between the contacts n, and causes the local alarm to sound immediately. If the handle is released before the spindle has rotated sufficiently to send the alarm, it is forced back to its original position by the wedge-shaped stop j<4>. The inside portion of the ring f is continuous at f<2>, so that the circuit is never broken at l.

Title: Flying Machine.
Inventor: TWINING HARRY LA VERNE
IPC: B64C33/00
Filed: 1911-02-07
Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 3147. Twining, H. La V. Feb. 7. Planes, construction of; propelling.-A flapping-wing machine, manually operated, is arranged so that lift and forward thrust are obtained on both the up and down stroke of the wings. The wings 14 are pivoted at 12 to the frame, the centre of gravity of the machine being below and behind the point 12. The operator stands on two pedals 19 connected by rods 16 with the wings and grasps two handlevers 25 connected to inner extensions 20 of the wings. In operation, the levers 25 are drawn upwards and the weight brought on to the pedals, thus effecting the down-stroke. The levers 25 are then pressed to bring about the up-stroke. The general arrangement is such that the wings have a negative incidence on the down-stroke and a positive incidence on the up-stroke. The wings are arched transversely and longitudinally, and between the points A, B, Fig. 1, the upward tilt of the rear edge of the wing is greater. Stability is maintained by operating one wing quicker than the other, by varying the centre of gravity, as by moving the levers, or by the operator's altering his position, or by an alteration of the angle which one of the wings makes with the machine. The wing may be mechanically operated.

Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 18,893. Plohl, M. Aug. 18, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 15,774/12.] Frequency, changing; transformers.-Electromagnetic fields of constant direction and periodically varying intensity, as described in the parent Specification, are produced by the apparatus shown in the Figure. Two rings R1, R2 carry continuous current windings g1, g2 and parallel alternating-current windings w1, w2. The fluxes produced in the rings by the continuous-current windings are in the same direction, and the fluxes produced by the alternating- current windings are in opposite directions. Consecutive half-waves of the alternating current therefore travel mainly through the windings w1, w2 alternately, and are then led to windings w3, w4 on another ring R3. The windings w3, w4 are arranged so that their fluxes are in the same direction, and the induced current in the winding w5 has double the frequency of the current supplied to the windings w1, w2. The induced current may be introduced into the primary windings of similar apparatus, or of the same apparatus, when tuning-elements may be employed. Instead of the rings R1, R2, only one ring may be employed with a continuous-current winding and two oppositely-acting alternating-current windings. A permanent magnet may be used instead of a continuous-current winding.
