Abstract: 1441. Eichengr³n, A. Jan. 25, 1909, [Convention date]. Coating-compositions. - Acetyl-cellulose solutions are produced by treating suitable acetylcelluloses, particularly such as are soluble in acetone or acetic ether, with a hot solvent mixture, of liquids which individually are not solvents either when hot or cold. Camphor or camphor substitutes can be added to the solutions, homogeneous masses being thereby obtained. Liquids which are solvents of acetylcellulose in the cold may be added at any stage. Fabrics &c. may be coated with the acetylcellulose masses. In one example, a mixture of alcohol and benzene is used as the solvent mixture, and in a second example a mixture of methyl alcohol and toluene. Other homologues and substituted derivatives of benzene and alcohol may be used and either of the latter liquids may be wholly or partially replaced by others which are themselves non-solvents. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the addition of colouring-matters to the solutions, and the production of various effects by addition of resins, and mineral substances such as zinc white, graphite, mica, asbestos, or powdered metal.

Title: New Method of and Apparatus for Illuminating Objects.
Inventor: MACKINNEY VALENTINE HENRY
IPC: F21V7/04
Filed: 1910-09-21
Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 21,901. Mackinney, V. H., and Chalmers, S. D. Sept. 21. Reflectors.-A reflector is so designed that the reflected light uniformly illuminates a plane surface such as a picture. The source of light Z is preferably a line source, and is partly surrounded by the semicircular mirror X Y which reflects light on to the mirror Y W, the profile of which is calculated from the fact that the illumination over the plane surface T has to be uniform. If # represents the angle between a given radius vector to the profile and the vertical through the point Z, and if # represents the angle between this radius and the tangent at its extremity, the differential equation obtained from these considerations is d'# = d (2# + #) /Sin<2> (2 # + #) which gives Cot (2 # + #) = B e + A as the equation of the profile where A and B are constants depending on the size of the surface T and its position relative to the source. If it is required to grade the illumination, an equation such as d# = d(2# + #) / K Sin<2> (2# + #) may be used where K may be a function of (2# + #), and in the case of an approximate point source of light the equation is d # = d (2 # + #) /Sin<3> (2 # + #). If desired, a gap may be left between the point Y and the commencement of the mirror: a diffusing-screen for the more even distribution of the light may also be placed within the reflector. A reflector of the described form may also be employed to light an enclosed space, the reflector being arranged to throw a uniform illumination on the ceiling, from which the light is again reflected throughout the space,
