Title: Improvements in Bronzing Machines.
Inventor: SMITH MARK
IPC: B41G1/00
Filed: 1910-09-06
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 20,730. Smith, M. Sept. 6. Bronzing.-Bronzed sheets are polished wholly or in part by being led partly round the circumference of a polishing-roller A moving at a greater surface speed than the sheet, which is pressed against the roller by a friction belt B, or by rollers. In the example shown, the sheets are fed past the bronze-applying roller D, and the ordinary polishing rollers or brushes E by the travelling band B, the tension of which is adjustable by moving either the cylinder A or one of the guide rollers. After passing the polishing-roller A the sheet is dusted on its back by a roller G and delivered at J. The roller A may be plush-covered or otherwise formed for polishing, and the frictional resistance between the sheets and band B or pressing-rollers is greater than that between the sheets and the roller A.

Patent GB-191106552-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Jacquard Apparatus for Embroidering Machines.
IPC: D05C13/00
Filed: 1911-03-15
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 6552. Saurer, A., [Firm of]. March 16, 1910, [Convention date]. E m b r o i d e r y machines.-The blades of a jacquard apparatus are arranged in four groups A, B, C, D, and control, according to their displacement by the jacquard card, the strokes of positively reciprocated s l i d e s 18 which impart the required motion to the work-frame. Each slide 18 has ten pins 20, five on each side, adapted to be engaged by forks 21 on levers 22 pivoted on arms 23, Fig. 1. The arms 23 are mounted on a shaft 24 which is rocked periodically by a lever 37 actuated by a cam 25 on the main shaft 1. The stroke of each slide is thus determined by the selection of the lever 22 which is to engage the corresponding pin 20 on the slide. The levers 22 are supported by rods 26 connected to lifting bars 28 which are pivoted on a rod 29 and are held against their g r o u p of jacquard blades by springs 30. The blades are provided with notches 13. When no blade in a group is displaced by the jacquard card 31, none of the lifters 28 corresponding to that group are able to rise, but when one or more blades are displaced, one of the lifters is able to rise into registering notches in the four blades of the group. The slide 18 corresponding to the group of blades thus receives a stroke of determined length. The blades are carried by a frame 8 which is raised and lowered periodically by cams 2 on the main shaft 1, and levers 4, 7. The jacquard card 31 is rocked by a cam-operated lever 32, and the blades are re-set by a cam-operated bar 34, Fig. 2. The bars 28 are held down when the frame 8 is raised by a cam - operated bar 60. Each group A, B, C, D comprises a fifth blade f having an extension 14 adapted to engage, according to whether it is displaced by the card, with one or other of the pivoted levers 50, 51, which are connected with a lever 47. This lever moves a pinion 43, splined on a shaft 41 into engagement with a rack 38 or a rack 39 on the slide 18, according to whether the movement of the work-frame is to be positive or negative. The motion given to the inner spindles 41 by their respective slides 18 is divided by ten and added to or subtracted from the motion of the adjacent outer spindles by differential gears 54, the resultant motion being transmitted to the work-frame by gears 56, 57 respectively. The outer spindles 41 carry the planet pinions of the differentials, and the inner spindles have pinions 58 meshing with wheels 52 to which are attached the pinions 53. The wheels 55 thus receive the corrected motion for the horizontal and vertical displacements respectively.

Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 22,691. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Oct. 14. Samples furnished. Monoazo dyes are obtained by combining the diazo compounds of m-amino-gamma-arylaziminobenzene sulphonic acids, or m-amino-gamma-arylbenziminazole sulphonic acids with 2-arylamino-8- naphthol-6-sulphonic acids in alkaline solution. Products are specified from m-amino-gamma-m-sulphophenylaziminobenzene and 2-p-tolylamino- 8-naphthol-6-sulphonic acid, and from m-aminogamma-4-sulphophenylbenziminazole and 2-phenylamino-8-naphthol-6-sulphonic acid. The products dye wool brown shades in acid baths. m-Amino-gamma-arylbenziminazole sulphonic acids are obtained by condensing 2:4-dinitro-1-chlorbenzene with aromatic aminosulphonic acids, reducing the amino group in the 2-position, forming the azimino ring by means of nitrous acid, and reducing the remaining nitro group. m-Amino-gamma-arylbenziminazole sulphonic acids are obtained by treating the p-nitro-o-aminophenylaminoaryl sulphonic acids, obtained as described above, with formic acid to form the iminazole ring, and reducing the nitro group.

Abstract: 14,337. Johnston, J., and Globe Pneumatic Engineering Co. June 19. Centrifugal ejector pumps.- Relates to pumps of the kind in which the expanding and contracting working-chambers are formed between the inner periphery of a rotating annulus of liquid and the vane pockets of a wheel mounted eccentrically with respect to the liquid annulus. An air or gas compressor comprises an inner rotary drum f provided with vanes h and eccentrically mounted within an outer rotary drum e containing liquid, say water or mercury, which is thrown into the form of an annulus p. Gas is drawn into the vane pockets g through passages in the vanes, and is expelled through non-return valves q, which are formed and arranged so as to be unaffected by centrifugal action, into a chamber k communicating with the hollow shaft c of the member f. Any liquid leaking into the chamber k is carried away by a drain r formed in the cover-plate l and consisting of an angular passage, the outlet of which is controlled by a needle valve s, Fig. 3. The centrifugal force on this valve is balanced by the pressure of the gas, but the pressure equilibrium is disturbed by the entrance of liquid into the drain and the valve is momentarily opened to discharge the liquid. A chamber u may be provided to collect water thrown off during working. In a modification, a single bearing may be employed for the rotary members, their shafts being arranged one within the other.
