Abstract: 11,745. Owen, R. S. May 12. Road-vehicle signals. - A device carried by a vehicle for rearwardlysignalling to other vehicles comprises an internally - illuminated opal - glass cylinder b, carrying the inscriptions to be displayed, mounted rotatably in a casing a having a glazed opening a<1>. The casing is mounted on a bracket by means of a loop fitting a<2> and is provided at one end with a lens a<3> for illuminating the number-plate. At the other end there is a detachable cover l' enclosing a union l, by which the actuating Bowden wire j is connected to a spring-returned quadrant h geared to a pinion g which rotates the drum b. This form of connexion enables the signal casing to be removed readily when cleaning the vehicle. The distant end of the wire j is attached to a pulley operated by a handle and mounted, in the case of a motorvehicle, on the steering-pillar. The pulley is provided with a device for preventing return motion except when positively moved by the handle. The handle may be combined with a switch for controlling the illumination of the lamp d, as described in Specification 26,177/09, or a separate switch may be provided. The plug f for conveying current to the lamp d may be of the single-wire type, the return being through the wire j.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Heel Rands.
Inventor: POPE EDWIN LINCOLN
IPC: A43D43/00
Filed: 1910-06-17
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 14,678. Pope, E. L. July 3, 1909, [Convention date]. Heels, machines for.-A machine for making heel rands has a swinging platen actuated by a cam so as first to engage and hold a blank and then to compress it. Between these two movements, a pair of rolls, moving in curved paths about the platen, bend the blank to shape, and, after the pressing movement, the rolls move back along the edges of the rand to force any bulging portions beneath the platen. The platen 17 is carried by a lever 23, pivoted to the machine frame and furnished with an adjustable face-plate 28, whereby it engages its operating - cam 26. A spring is introduced, either behind the platen or the faceplate 28, to compensate for variation in blank thickness. The table 12 has a pressing-bed 13, and two rollers 32 arc arranged to be moved in curved slots 38 around the sides thereof. The rollers are carried by links 34, which are connected to slides beneath the table. The slides are connected to racks 45, 46, in order that they may be reciprocated by toothed arms 47, 52, which engage the racks at suitable intervals. The arms 47, 52 are carried by two shafts geared together, one of which carries the cam 26. The blank 30 having been placed in position in front of the roller 32 and the machine being started, the platen 17 is brought down so that a spur 31 thereon holds the blank by the cam surface 26<b> ; the arms 47 cause the rolls 32 to move forward and bend the blank in beneath the platen; the cam surface 26<c> actuates the lever 23 and the blank is compressed; the arms 52 draw the rolls back along the sides of the rand; and finally the cam allows the platen to rise and the rand is removed. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also dies, carried bv the lever 23 and adapted to pass through slots in the platen, to indent the rand and prevent its tendency to straighten; this subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 18,365. Danilevsky, A. Aug. 14. Fish preparations; fat preparations; milk preparations. - Relates to the extraction of albuminous substances from fish and to preparations made therefrom. Fish are cleaned, cut up, and digested at about 50‹ C. with alkali or acid, and the extracted albumen is recovered by neutralization. The residue is digested with stronger alkali at 80‹ C., and rubbed through a sieve. The albuminous matter so obtained and the first-extracted albumen are mixed, and digested at 90-100‹ C. with alkali to form albuminates. The resulting liquid is neutralized or acidified to precipitate the albuminous compounds, and may be filtered, freed from fat, flavoured, and concentrated in vacuo to form a broth. Or the liquid separated from the albuminous compounds may be boiled, filtered, flavoured, concentrated in vacuo, and mixed with the albuminous compounds, and the mixture steeped in olive oil &c. at 160-180‹ C. and packed in oil in tins &c. To make fish cheese,' the albuminous compounds are mixed with the concentrated broth, salt, &c. and bacteria obtained by allowing cows' or goats' milk to stand, and are then treated as in the making of cheese.
