Patent GB-190224136-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Yarns and Threads.
Inventor: KELLNER CARL
Filed: 1902-11-04
Granted: 1903-11-04
Abstract: 24,136. Kellner, C. Nov. 4. Paper machines.-Improvements on the inventions described in Specifications No. 20,225, A.D. 1891, and No. 4621, A.D. 1892, [Abridgment Class Spinning], for the manufacture of yarns and threads from sulphitecellulose, soda-cellulose, rag pulp, asbestos, wood pulp, &c. Instead of forming the pulp directly into narrow strips on the wire cloth or the like of a paper machine, it is formed into a broad sheet or web continuous from side to side and is subsequently completely or incompletely severed into strips. The division of the damp web into strips may be effected by jets c of compressed air or water, Fig. 1, by means of a number of belts or cords x, Fig. 2, by a number of discs, Fig. 3<a>, arranged above a roller which may be the dandy roll and which is situated nearer to the front of the machine than usual. When the strips are not entirely separated from one another, the web is rolled and the strips separated and spun at a second operation. When the web is formed of very short fibres such as wood pulp, straw pulp, &c., it is advisable that it be more completely formed into paper before being divided into strips. The division may then be partially effected by means of rows of perforations or by pressure, the strips being afterwards completely separated by means of an ordinary fleece dividing-apparatus &c. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement for producing lines of perforations in the web. A frame carrying combs or lines of pins f is operated in such a way as to have a rising and falling motion, and also a motion from side to side, the pins entering the web, travelling with it for a short distance, and then being withdrawn therefrom and returned to their original position. Pinned discs may be used in place of the combs f, the pins engaging with grooves in a co-oparating roller. A roller with cutting-edges n, Fig. 7, may be substituted for the pinned discs. Paper may be severed into strips by means of toothed bands or discs e, Fig. 4, which engage in grooves in guiding and conducting rollers d<1>, d<2>, d. The strips are subsequently passed to suitable rubbing-apparatus &c., or they are passed on their way to the spinning-spindles through twist tubes, Figs. 8 and 9, having bores the cross-section of which is either round, elliptical, or has the form of a segment of a circle. Two or more strips may be spun together simultaneously in the manufacture of doubled and three-fold yarn. The strips may be dried before the spinning operation, by means of a drying-cylinder or the use of heated air, but after this operation, should contain at least 25 per cent. of moisture.

Title: Manufacture and Production of New Color Lakes.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1903-10-22
Granted: 1904-08-11
Abstract: 22,856. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Oct. 22. Pigments.-Colour lakes are obtained from the dye-stuffs which can be obtained by combining the diazo compounds of amidoazobenzene disulphonic acid with naphthol sulphonic acids, by converting them into metallic salts by usual methods. The lakes are generally of a red shade having a bluish undertone, and are fast to light. In an example, a 10 per cent. paste of aluminium hydroxide is mixed with water, and a solution of the azo dyestuff obtained from 2-naphthol-3 : 6-disulphonic acid is added while stirring constantly. A 5 per cent. solution of barium chloride is then added, until the precipitation is complete. The lake is filtered off, dried, and finished as usual. The colouring-matters derived from 2-naphthol-8-sulphonic acid or the 2-naphthol-6 : 8-disulphonic acid produce red, and those derived from 1- naphthol-3 : 8-disulphonic acid or the 2-naphthol- 3 : 6 : 8-trisulphonic acid bluish-red lakes.

Title: Improvements in Recoil Brakes for Guns.
Filed: 1903-12-10
Granted: 1904-02-18
Abstract: 27,093. Abel, C. D., [Rheinische Metallwaren und Maschinenfabrik]. Dec. 10.. Field carriages.-The length of the recoil is shortened, as the gun is elevated, by the automatic reduction of the effective area of the passages in the brake piston. The reduction is effected, in one method, by an incline k on the fixed carriage acting on a lever g on a rod f connected by toothed segments e, d with the piston-rod, so that a perforated valve m, slidably mounted on the pistonrod, is turned relatively to the brake piston l, the return movement of the rod f being effected by a spiral spring i. The piston l is turned relatively to the valve, during recoil, by means of a feather and a groove p in the cylinder, so that the passage for the fluid is gradually contracted. The valve is forced away from the piston by the flow of fluid during the return stroke. In some cases, a second perforated valve is slidably mounted on the pistonrod at the rear side of the piston, so that the rotation of the piston-rod, as the gun is elevated, causes the passages in the second valve to coincide more completely with the passages in the piston, thereby facilitating the return motion.
