Title: Improvements in or relating to the Removal or Extraction of Grease or Oleaginous Gum or Resinous and similar Matter, from Textile Fabric, Wool, Sawdust, Wood Shavings and other Substances or Materials
Inventor: FULTON CHARLES WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-11-28
Granted: 1907-07-11
Abstract: 27,072. Fulton, C. W., and Hardcastle, E. Nov. 28. Cleaning fabrics &c.-Apparatus for extracting grease, oil, resin, &c. from textiles, wood, &c. consists of a kier or cleaning-vessel B, a vaporizer C, a condenser D for the solvent used, and a drier, and if necessary, heater A for air. The material to be treated is placed in the kier, which may take various forms to suit the various materials and may be steam-jacketed. The solvent is introduced into a collecting-tank D' through the funnel D' and is allowed to flow into the kier through the pipes F, F<2>. When the level of the solvent is above the top of the siphon G', the kier is practically emptied, the liquid flowing to the vaporizer C. In this, a steam coil H causes the solvent to rise as a vapour through the pipes J, K, F<1>, the valve J<1> being closed to the condenser D which consists of watercooled sets of tubes D'. The condensed liquid then again flows through the pipe F into the kier, and the operation is repeated. When the process is finished, the cock f is closed and the valve g<1> is opened, thus permitting the last drops of solvent to flow to the vaporizer. When this operation is completed, as ascertained from the test cock g<2>, the cocks g, g' are closed and the valve N' is opened, dry air from the drier A passing into the kier, and being heated in passing by the steam coil E. The air thus charged with vapour from the liquid still remaining in the material is driven through the pipe F<1> into the condenser, thence passing into the atmosphere through the valve D<3>. At the same time, the heating-coils H in the vaporizer drive the solvent into the condenser, the valve J<1> being opened, leaving the oily residue to be drawn off by a cock.

Title: Improvements relating to Warp-drawing Machines.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1907-01-14
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 957. Justice, P. M., [American Warp. Drawing Machine Co.]. Jan. 14. Loom healds, threading ; reeds, drawing warp threads through ; warps, uniting.-Relates to machines for drawing-in warp threads, and particularly for drawing warps through harness eyes and between reed dents, or for drawing them preparatory to uniting them to the thread ends of anotber warp. The invention is shown applied to the warp-drawing machine described in Specification No. 4661, A.D. 1904. A slidable and rotatable shifter-rod 26 is hung on arms 42 connected together by arms 43, 44 and a rod 45. A clasp or guide 47 on the rod 26 is operatively connected to a shifter-lever 27 having a curved extension 28, over which the rod 26 may be moved out of the way and held in its raised position, if desired, by a latch. By longitudinally moving the rod 26, in whatever position it may be, the shifter-lever is operated and rocks a shaft 29. Through lever mechanism 30, 31, 32 and clutch mechanism, the power is thrown off the machine and a brake strap 37 is applied to a brake pulley 38. The shifter-lever moves against the pressure of a spring-pressed pin 40 on a bracket 39. When the shifter-lever is released, it is thrown back sufficiently by the spring to cause the disengagement of the brake without putting on the power, so that the machine may be turned by hand. Compensating means, which may be automatic, are employed to adjust the relation between the operating parts of the machine, for example between the drawing-needle and separating-screw and the threads of the warp. These may be of the type described in the above-mentioned Specification. To control the feeding - mechanism manually, a pinion 48 is placed on the bar 26 and is adapted to engage a gear 49 when the bar is in its lowest position. By turning the latter, the gear is turned, and operates a worm 50 for feeding or adjusting the warps longitudinally. The extension of the shifter-lever may sometimes be dispensed with. Fig. 1 shows the traversing carriage 3, carrying the drawing-in needle 11, the driving-shaft 5, the reed-holder 13, &c.

Title: New or Improved Brake System for Automobile and like Vehicles.
Inventor: MILLER FRANZ
Filed: 1908-02-15
Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 3487. Miller, F. Feb. 15. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to a method of actuating the brakes of automobile and like vehicles by using the pressure of the exhaust gases, which may be the products of combustion in the case of internal-combustion motors, steam in the case of steam-engines, or compressed air produced by the engine running idle. Fig. 1 illustrates the general arrangement, and Fig. 3 shows detailed parts of the system. A butterfly valve 4 diverts the compressed gases from the silencer to a pipe 3 and thence to cylinders 9 which are fixed to the side members of the frame. The pistons 11 are thus caused to pull on brake cords 14 against the action of a spring 15, which causes the brake to return to the inoperative position when the pressure is removed. A spring- loaded valve 18 is provided in the pipe 3 to avoid excess of pressure, the load on the valve being set at a little greater than the compression pressure of the motor so as not to stop the engine completely. The method is also applicable to a brake acting on some part of the engine shaft.

Title: Improvements in Flying Machines.
Inventor: PIFFARD HAROLD HUME
Filed: 1908-05-22
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 11,155. Piffard, H. H. May 22. Aerial machines without aerostats aeroplanes; steering. - The supporting-planes i of an aerial machine are adjustable longitudinally and transversely on the framework for steering and balancing. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the planes are mounted on blocks h slidable on guides g, and are drawn towards the front of the machine by springs j. When the machine is in rapid flight, the pressure on the aeroplanes i forces them backwards along the slides g against the action of the spring, thereby throwing the lifting effort more to the rear. In another arrangement, the frame of the aeroplanes is secured to blocks m, Fig. 3, slidable on transverse guide-rods k which are connected to the sliding blocks h. By this means longitudinal adjustment of the planes is automatically obtained, and transverse adjustment is obtained by cords p connected to a frame r secured to the blocks m, and adjustable by a hand-wheel n. A front vertical rudder s may be operated simultaneously with the lateral adjustment of the planes, so as partly to check the tilting due to lateral displacement of the aeroplanes. The rudder s may be separately adjusted by releasing a clutch connecting the drums on which the operating-cords p, t are wound.
