Abstract: 11,729. Chemische Fabrik Griesheim- Elektron. Oct. 19, 1908, [Convention date]. Yarns, treating with liquids. - Mercerized cotton goods, after being dyed with sulphur dye-stuffs, are soaped and subsequently soured in a bath containing lactic or tartaric acid together with a salt of the acid employed in order to give them a silk "scroop." In one example, mercerized cotton yarn dyed with thioxine black RTO is treated, after soaping, with a bath containing 17 grams of lactic acid and 7 grams of soda ash or 11À2 grams of caustic soda lye of 50‹ BÚ. per litre. Instead of the above quantities, 5 grams of lactic acid and 15 grams of sodium lactate may be used. In a second example, tartaric acid and tartrate are used in a similar manner.

Abstract: 27,874. Graham, J. Nov. 30. Steam - engine indicators. - Detachable actuating-means, of the kind described in Specification 18,305/00, for oscillating the record-drums of steam-engine and like indicators comprises an auxiliary crank - disk of adjustable throw connected through a clutch, which can be actuated when the engine is in motion, with a stud or disk fixed to the crankshaft of the engine, together with a connecting- rod and cross-head, to which the usual indicatorcord is fastened. The crank-disk H, together with a supporting-member L for the guide-rods M, N, is slipped over the stud X<1> X, which is screwed into the end of the crank-shaft of the engine. By means of a lever S and a pin- and-hole clutch K, Z, the disk H is caused to revolve with the engine crank-shaft. Lines of perforations in the disk H making angles of 90 degrees and 120 degrees with each other allow the throw of the crank-pin and crosshead O to be varied and the oscillation of the record-drum to be adjusted for engines having more than one crank. The guide-rods M, N are supported at the farther end by an adjustable member Y. In a modification, the bearing for the crank-disk H is formed by a stud carried by a vacuum rubber disk.

Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 18,445. Seifert, F. Aug. 4. Venetian and lath blinds are released automatically on opening the window, to fall and cover the window aperture. The blind-cord b is pressed against a plate a of the cord-holder, by a roller c mounted in inclined slots and carrying dependent arms d, to which is attached a roller e. On opening the window, a cam piece i engages and depresses the roller e, thereby releasing the roller c from the cord b, and allowing the blind to fall. The window may be opened without effecting the fall of the blind, by folding up the arms d and roller e, which are thrown down to the normal position on closing the window, by a spring k having a bent end l, which, during the opening movement of the window, is able to pass and engage behind one of the arms d. Holes are made in the wall adjacent to the cord holder to receive the cam i and spring k, so as not to interfere with the opening of the window. For sliding sashes, a spring s is secured on the upper sash to engage and depress the roller e, the arms d being held in the upturned position by hand and being thrown down when released by a spring u.

Abstract: 15,122. Staude, E. G. June 28. Envelopes, making.-In the envelope-making machine described in Specification 3231/11, the means by which the partly-folded blank is centred previous to being conveyed to the folders that make the final fold are modified in the following particulars. After passing the first set of folders, the partly folded blank is fed by rollers 45, 46, Fig. 4, on to a continuously - running belt 11, Figs. 2 and 4, which conveys it against a stop-bar 49 until it is carried off by projections 37 on chains 22, 23 as described in the Specification mentioned above. In order to ensure that the belt will maintain the blank in contact with the stop, a roller 54 or a cylindrical brush is mounted above the belt so that it presses the paper lightly against the belt. The blank, as it leaves the rollers 45, 46, passes over projecting fingers 48 on a rod 47, and these fingers engage and support the rear portion of the blank and hold it out of contact with the feed-chain 22 until the forward end has been engaged by the pins on the chain 23. The feed-belt 11 passes round a driving-roller 9, a tension roller 10, and other rollers mounted between brackets 17, 18. These brackets are mounted on screwed rods 13, 14 respectively, and by turning the rods, the brackets may be separated and the area of the belt on which the blanks rest may be altered in size to suit the blanks of different sizes. The feed-chains 22, 23 are also mounted in bearings on the brackets 17, 18. A projection 55 fixed to the stop-bar 49 prevents the upward movement of the front portion of the blank when fed against the bar. Specification 28,735/09, [Class 19, Brushing &c.], is referred to.

The material is heated and desiccated in a semicircular vessel 1 fitted with a steam jacket 4, and is conveyed to a shoot 9 at the bottom of which are arranged an inclined preliminary compression ram 11 and an horizontal ram 14 for imparting the final pressure. Motion is imparted to the ram 14 by an eccentric 17 and levers 18, 19, and this operates the ram 11 through levers &c. 21, 22, 23. The ram 14 forces the briquettes through a tube 13 surrounded by a steam jacket 24, which tube may be tapered to increase the compression of the material. Side-pieces 12 projecting from the end of the ram 11 retain the material during the preliminary compression, and, by engaging stops, prevent the ram 11 from coming into the path of the ram 14 in case of breakage. Dust is expelled during the preliminary compression and passes away through an outlet 27 arranged at right-angles to the path of the ram 11. Moisture given out by the material in the chamber 1 escapes through trapped openings 5.
