Granted: 1904-10-27
Abstract: 25,109. Baines, H. M. Nov. 18. Calculating-apparatus. - The computing-scales of an abacus diagram are placed each upon the sliding elements of a rule, four such elements a, a<1>, a<2>, a<3> being shown in Figs. 1 and 2. These sliding-pieces are then so constrained to move, by means of a jointed parallelogram b, b<1>, b<2>, b<3>, to which they are attached at the points c, c<1>, c<2>, c<3>, that they all move together in chosen ratios, whereby, if they bear suitable scales, it does not become necessary to read the corresponding numbers upon a straight-edge placed at any angle, as in the usual abacus diagram, but the two arguments having been placed vertically above one another, the corresponding quantities are found in the same vertical line. The scales indicated in Fig. 1 are for solving problems in hydraulics. The sliding parts may either be adjacent as shown, or there may be spaces between, and the scales for a particular formula are either permanently attached to a parallelogram, or used with an adjustable parallelogram.

Title: Improvements in Driving and Reversing Gear for Washing Machines and the like.
Inventor: KAMPMANN CARL
Filed: 1904-06-07
Granted: 1904-09-22
Abstract: 12,915. Kampmann, C. June 7. Washing-machines. -Relates to a device for reversing the stirring-shaft of a washing-machine, which is oscillated by means of a radial piston, the driving being effected by means of water under pressure. As shown in Fig. 2, which is a section through the driving-mechanism, an inlet pipe 16 admits water to a chamber containing a doubleseated valve 9. From this chamber, the water passes to the cylinder K, Fig. 4, in the direction of the arrows, and forces around the radial piston 13, Fig. 4. Water used in the previous stroke escapes from the cylinder in the direction of the arrows through a double-seated outlet valve 10 into an independent exhaust chamber which is in communication with an exhaust pipe 17. The spindles of valves slide in opposite sides of the respective chambers. The seatings of the outlet valve face outwards, and those of the inlet valve inwards. At the end of the travel of the piston, angular pieces 14, 19 on buffer springs 21 butt against the projecting valve spindles. The open inlet and outlet valves are thus made to traverse longitudinally in the chambers closing the valves on the left side of the spindles and opening those on the right side. The piston is then driven around in the opposite direction. The inlet and exhaust pipes may be both situated on the same side of the device, and, instead of the angular pieces 14, 19, a spring-actuated flap may be pivoted in a recess on each side of the piston to butt against the valve spindles. Or flat springs may be attached to the ends of the valve spindles themselves to take into recesses in the piston. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, the form of the inlet valve proper 9 is the same, but it is hollow inside and is entered at each end by spindles 31 terminating in discs, the discs being separated by a buffer spring 32. The hollow body of the inlet valve is connected directly to the outlet valve. In this form, the valve spindles receive the impact from the piston at each end of its stroke and cause both valves to operate as before.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Massage Apparatus.
Inventor: CRABTREE FREDERICK HERBERT
Filed: 1904-07-11
Granted: 1904-08-11
Abstract: 15,451. Crabtree, F. H. Nov. 18, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Massage ;ear appliances.-Apparatus for pneumatic massage, specially applicable for vibrating the drum of the ear, consists of a cylinder 5 with an opening 6 in its base and a piston 7. The piston carries a short rod 8, which, as the piston rises, passes through the central opening 10 and opens the valve 11. The valve is controlled by the spring 12, which normally keeps it closed. The set-screw 20 carried by the bracket 19 regulates the amount of opening of the valve. The tube 14 leads to a vacuum pump, while the tube 15 with the regulating-valve 21 communicates by means of the flexible tube 16 with the nozzle 17. As the piston is sucked up by the vacuum, the valve 11 is opened and the piston falls back, allowing the valve to close. The rapid alternations in pressure are conveyed by the nozzle to the drum of the ear. When other parts of the body are to be treated, the nozzle 17 is replaced by a funnel-shaped end-piece.

Abstract: 5911. Hipkins, W. E. March 12. Printing-apparatus combined with weighing-apparatus.-Relates to the invention described in Specification No. 10,108, A.D. 1895, means being provided for identifying the person who uses the apparatus. In additionto the printing-disks f of the former invention, disks j, Fig. 1, are mounted on a sleeve j<1>, which carries a spur-wheel k rotated by means of a key of special construction. Fig. 5 shows one of a series of keys all of which differ in the disposition.of a slot x<2> in a drum-shaped piece x<1>. To register the weight of a load, the person using the apparatus inserts his key so that the slot x<2> engages . a feather n<2> on a sleeve n<1>, which is attached to a disk o and spur-wheel n. The key is then rotated until the disk o, operated through the feather n<2>, brings to the vertical position the number cor- . responding to the key used.. At the same time, the pinion k is rotated to set in position the printing-disk j<1>, on which the type is preferably set at right-angles to that on the disks f. Further passage of the key acts, as shown in Fig. 1, on a bifurcated pivoted lever p and forces a spring- pressed peg q into one of a series of holes in a plate m and locks the disk o. The key also moves into position to enter a slot t<3>, to operate a lock t of ordinary construction, and force back a bolt carrying the stud t<2>. The latter acts on a lever u fulcrumed at u<1> and thereby withdraws a bolt w from the path of the printing-handle i which carries the roller. By reversing the cycle of operations, the apparatus is brought back to its initial position, but unless the handle i is brought back to the position shown in Fig. 1, a projection il obstructs the passage of the bolt w. In the depressed position of the handle, a projection i<2> acts in the same way.

Granted: 1907-02-07
Abstract: 9254. Vermeesch, J. A. M. J. April 19. Cellulose, non-fibrous.-In the manufacture of artificial silk, cuprammonium cellulose is precipitated by means of acidulated or alkaline glycerin, e.g. an aqueous solution of monosulphoglyceric acid and glycerin, and the threads are passed through a solution of salt to remove sulphuric acid and then washed with a solution of sodium bisulphate and finally with pure water. For the precipitating- bath, 2 parts of sulphuric acid (sp. gr. 1À84) is slowly added to 1 part of pure glycerin ; after cooling the product, an equal volume of water is added, and also another quarter part of glycerin. The mixture then contains 37¢ per cent of monosulphoglyceric acid, 37¢ per cent of water, and 25 per cent ot glycerin. The 25 per cent of glycerin is stated to increase the mercerizing action of the bath. The jets are placed at such a depth below the level of the precipitating-liquid that the threads may be removed quickly from the bath, without the rate of winding being too great. The sulphuric acid in the thread, in the monosulphoglyceric acid, is removed by means of a bath of common salt or of a soluble salt of an organic or mineral acid, e.g. formates, acetates, oxalates, alkaline chlorides, chlorides of alkali earths, &c. A further bath of sodium bisulpbate may be used to fix the remaining copper, and then the final bath of pure water is applied. In a modification of the above process, the thread is taken from the precipitating-bath, washed with glycerin and water and pure water, and finally dried.
