Filed: 1910-03-15
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 6421. Summerley, M. March 15. Tobacco cartridges A, with cardboard or paper cases B from which the tobacco may be forced directly into the pipe bowl without the aid of a separate filler, are connected together by strips C having perforations D, indentations, scorings &c., so that they may be bunched together in a box for convenience in carrying and, when detached, the connecting-strips may serve as a base which rests on the pipe bowl in the act of filling the bowl, as shown in Fig. 2. The cases are formed from strips of paper or cardboard by means of two bars having a series of nearly semicircular grooves into which cylinders are fitted.

Abstract: 17,872. Ulysse, P. Aug. 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Kinematograph apparatus; films.-A kinematograph film of ordinary size has several images, grouped on a surface corresponding with that of an ordinary known image, so that pictures may be produced in natural colours by projecting 'similar images simultaneously through coloured screens. To effect this, multiple object-glasses are employed, equal in number to the images occupying the spaces of an ordinary image, or a multiple object - glass may be used comprising two or more parts of objectglasses connected by plane faces which allow of their juxtaposition. Circumferential, radial, or marking devices are provided to enable exact superposition of the projected pictures to be obtained. In ordinary use, the grouped images are not similar, and are projected successively by means of a rotating shutter. To provide for proper superposition of the projected pictures, prisms are placed in front of the object-glasses.

Inventor: SCHMIEDE ERNST
IPC: B64D17/00
Filed: 1912-02-21
Granted: 1913-05-21
Abstract: 4336. Schmiede, E. Feb. 21. Parachutes. - A parachute attached to an aeroplane, balloon, or the like is adapted to be expelled from a casing upon undue tilting or descent of the machine, by a spring releasable by a pendulum or other gravity control or by an air-actuated vane or fan. The control may operate through an electro-magnetic relay. The parachute may be of umbrella-like construction, Fig. 2, with springs 15, 16 to ensure opening upon ejection from the casing e, or, in the form shown in Fig. 3, the ribs 18 may be arranged to turn upwardly upon the sliding piece 21 for collapsing so that the central part of the parachute enters the casing first. The cord d' serves for hauling the parachute into the casing, and may take part of the load. Springs may be introduced in the connexions of the parachute to the machine to absorb shock. The piece 21 is retained against the action of the ejecting- spring d by a catch f, which may be released in various ways. (i) The catch may be released by a pendulum g, Fig. 4, suspended for universal movement from a boss i free to turn upon a shaft and adapted to release a boss k spring-urged against the catch f. The member o that holds the boss k against the action of the spring n is disengaged by the swing of the pendulum both about the pivot h and about the shaft j. The pendulum is prevented from swinging too freely by friction disks t, w or by a field magnet. This device may instead be arranged to close the electric circuit of an electro-magnet 22, Fig. 3, which releases the catch f. (ii) The catch f may be released by an electro - magnetic device controlled by a globule of mercury free to run either in arched tubes, two of which disposed at right-angles to each other are employed, or in a disk 25, Fig. 8, provided with a pair of conducting-rings 26 adapted to be bridged by the globule 23, which may be immersed in oil to damp the movement. (iii) The catch may be released by a vane or the like operated by the rush of air produced by a rapid descent of the machine. In Fig. 9, the vane 27 is shown as pivoted at 31 in a tube 28 and adapted to complete an electric circuit at 32. A rotary fan mounted freely on a screwed shaft may be substituted for the vane.

Title: Improvements in the Extraction of Copper from Sulphide Ores and other Materials.
Inventor: HYBINETTE NOAK VICTOR
IPC: C22B15/00
Filed: 1912-03-07
Granted: 1913-04-07
Abstract: 5806. Hybinette, N. V. March 7. Sulphatizing.-Sulphide ore or other material containing copper is mixed with from 2 to 20 per cent of sodium sulphate, roasted, and leached with dilute sulphuric acid, the solution obtained being electrolyzed to deposit the copper. The sodium sulphate promotes the conversion of copper, zinc, and nickel into sulphates, and of iron into insoluble oxide. The spent electrolyte may be used repeatedly for leaching, until it contains a large quantity of sodium sulphate. It is then mixed with fresh ore to be roasted. Zinc and nickel which may accumulate in the solution may be precipitated by soda or lime or deposited electrolytically. Loss of sodium sulphate is compensated for by the addition of common salt. which is converted into sulphate during the roasting. The leaching with acid may be preceded by treatment with water, which dissolves copper, zinc, and nickel, but no iron; the solution thus obtained is electrolyzed separately.

Abstract: 11,460. Staples, A. F. May 19, 1911, [Convention date]. Racks and the like.- Relates to accountregisters consisting of a series of pivoted frames carrying bill - holding clips. The frames 9 are mounted on inclined supports 17 having vert-i c a l slots 18 with sockets 19 at the bottom to receive the frame pivots 13. The supports 17 are provided with two arms 21, 22 swing- ably mounted on the cabinet 20 and a thrustrod is pivotally connected to an extension of one of the arms 22 on each support 17. A finger-lever 27 comes between the ends of the thrust - rods to maintain the supports 17 in engaging position with the pivots 13 and, when the lever 27 is raised from between the thrustrods, a spring 24 bearing on the arm extension forces the supports 17 apart and allows the frame 9 to be removed. The frames are formed with interlocking ribs 11 and grooves on their lateral edges. The rih 11 is cut away at the lower end so as to provide a concavity for the reception of a connterhalancing connecting tension-spring 14, the upper end of which is attached to the forward frame and the lower end to the pivot 13 of the rear frame of each adjacent pair. When the register is not required to be used to its full capacity, a removable dummy 32 having the appearance of a number of frames may be fixed to the back of the cabinet 20. The frames 9 may be brought into alinement for removal by continued raising of the lever 27, a lug 37 on the dummy 32 preventing the back frame from rising by the stretching of the springs 14. The bottoms of the frames 9 are permanently connected by chains 40 to prevent excessive stretching of the springs 14. The frames are held in alinement, when removed, by a clip consisting of a flat spring 38 passing through and engaging a loop 39 on the top of the back frame and hooking over the front frame, and by a hook 43 pivoted to the back frame and extending downwards to engage the pivot 13 of the front frame.

Abstract: 16,024. Krebs, L. July 9. Dynamos, driving.-Electric lamps for wheeled vehicles are energized by a dynamo, the spindle of which carries a friction roller forced against the rim of the wheel by a torsion spring coiled round the fixed spindle carrying the device on the vehicle. The general arrangement is shown in Fig. 4, and as shown in Fig. 2, the torsion spring 26 is fixed at one end 25 and the free end 27 bears against the end of the machine away from the roller 1 so as to force the roller 1 against the road wheel 2. The stress in the torsion spring can be regulated by turning the device completely round about the spindle 23. The friction wheel 1 may be disengaged by moving the machine axially along the spindle 23 in the direction of the arrow and then releasing, so that the stud 29 in the fixed spindle 23 engages the slot 30 in the fork 24 and thus holds the device against the torsion of the spring 26.
