Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 7391. Crolbois, J. J. A. March 26,1910, [Convention date]. Column - stills ; film evaporators ; progressive evaporators.-An apparatus for the continuous distillation or evaporation of liquids consists of superposed hollow vessels a, which are externally heated and are so arranged that the liquid is caused to flow in a film over the inner surface of the upper part of the vessel a before arriving at the lower part. The formation of a film is effected by a device, Fig. 2, comprising a tube d fitted with a grooved lining h, by which the liquid, overflowing through apertures f, is distributed uniformly over the inner surface of the tube d, so that it may flow downwards over the rounded corner e on to the inner surface of the vessel a. The vapours that are disengaged pass upwards through the centre of the tube d. An outer tube g is provided to ensure that the liquid is withdrawn from the base of the vessel a. Apertures g<1> prevent any siphonic action. Any excess of liquid overflows the upper edge h<1> of the tube h and is distributed by a supplementary grooved lining i. A third overflow is provided by orifices i<2>. A check-plate d<1> prevents froth from overflowing into the tube d. The apparatus may be applied to the removal of sulphur dioxide from liquids.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Raising or Forcing Liquids.
Filed: 1911-07-25
Granted: 1912-07-25
Abstract: 17,041. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, Kieffer, E. 0., and Vernon, W. F. July 25. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Direct explosion apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for raising or forcing water, of the type in which a column of liquid is propelled outwards from a combustion chamber by an ignited combustible mixture, and returns towards the combustion chamber to compress the fresh combustible charge, and consists in an arrangement whereby substantially the whole or the greater part of the gases entering or leaving the combustion chamber through one or more valves, controlled by the change of level of the liquid in the combustion chamber and situated below the crown of the chamber, is led directly into or from the said crown. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the exhaust valve is situated at the foot of a pipe 8 dipping into an extension of the side of the combustion chamber and surrounded by a sleeve 11 in which the valve 10 fits loosely. During the later portion of the out-stroke of the water column, scavenging-air is drawn in through the valves 7, while burnt products are prevented from being drawn back into the combustion chamber through the pipe 8 by a non-return valve (not shown). Upon the return stroke of the water column, the scavenging-air sweeps out the burnt products from the top of the combustion chamber through the pipe 8 until the water rises sufficiently to shut the valve 10 by impact, when only pure air remains in the combustion chamber, into which a charge of fuel is injected ready for the next explosion, the cycle being a two-stroke one. The holes formed in the sleeve 11 prevent premature closing of the valve 10 by gases entrapped in the lower end of the sleeve by the rising water. In a modification, the valve 10 is made of the same size as the pipe 8 and fits in a contraction in the sleeve 11 when the valve is open, so that when the valve is closed, the water can rise in the sleeve and expel gases therefrom. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the scavenging-valves 7 and exhaust valves 14 are arranged horizontally, a circular sleeve 15 arranged concentrically in the chamber serving to sweep out the burnt gases from the crown of the combustion chamber. One of the advantages of the apparatus is that, in case the exhaust valve breaks, there is always a gaseous cushion in the crown of the chamber.

Patent GB-191124287-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Sheet Delivering and Piling Apparatus.
Inventor: WHITE JOSEPH ATWOOD
IPC: B65H29/50
Filed: 1911-11-01
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 24,287. White, J. A. Nov. 1. Delivery apparatus.-In apparatus for piling sheets from cutting and like machines delivered either by hand or mechanically, the top of the pile x is kept at constant height by devices which lower the platform 2 and are controlled by a pneumatic device 30 having an orifice level with the top of the pile. Side guides 24, end gauges 21, and cam-operated joggers 25 are carried adjustably by a framing 1, 8, independently of the platform 2. When the sheets are delivered by tapes &c., they may be curved for longitudinal stiffening by rollers and guides 76, 79, and the framework carrying the tapes, guides &c. may be raised, instead of the platform 2 being lowered. The platform 2 is supported by rods 7, and chains 5 wound round drums 4 on a shaft 3 driven through worm and chain drive from a ratchet-wheel 44 turned by a pawl 43 operated by an eccentric 53 to lower the platform 2 gradually until it rests on a trolley 9, when the platform and pile is removed and a fresh platform substituted. The pawl 43 is normally lifted away from the wheel 44 by a bell-crank lever 37 and rod 35 pressed upwards by a spring 41, and connected to a flexible diaphragm in the box 30. In the side guide 24 a hole is made, and connected by a pipe 32 with a suction pump 27, a branch 29 passing to the box 30. As the pile x of papers rises and begins to cover the hole, the partial vacuum created by the pump 27 acts on the diaphragm in the box 30, and allows the pawl 43 to engage the wheel 44 to lower the platform, until the hole in the guide 24 can pass more air. The guides 24 and joggers 25 are carried by frames 61, laterally adjustable by rack and pinion on a bar 62. Each jogger 25 is worked by a cam slidably mounted on a rotating shaft 68 and giving a slight oscillating movement to the shaft 26 which carries the jogger 25. The guides 21 are carried on depending brackets 22, slidably mounted on rack-bars 57, and simultaneously adjusted by turning one of the wheels 60. When the platform 2 is not arranged to be lowered, the conveying-tapes 14, guides 24, &c. are arranged on a frame slidable vertically on the frame 1, and are gradually lifted by a chain actuated from the before - described ratchet mechanism.

Title: Intercommunication Telephone Systems.
Inventor: CORWIN ELMER REED
IPC: H04M9/00
Filed: 1912-02-07
Granted: 1912-09-19
Abstract: 3097. Corwin, E. R. Feb. 7. Intercommunication systems, of the kind having pairs of lines 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 peculiar to each station, and keys a for selecting these lines, are provided with apparatus controlled by the magnet c for giving a busy signal from the interrupter f when a wanted line is busy. The Figure shows station 1 connected to station 2, and station 3 trying to call station 1. When, at station 1, the key a corresponding to station 2 is fully depressed, a circuit is completed from the lower terminal of battery d through the switch-hook contacts h<1>, h, the winding of the magnet b, and the contacts a<2>, a<1> of the depressed key to the other terminal of the battery. The armature k of the magnet b completes the contacts k<1>, k<2>, k<3>, and k<4>, k<5>. A ringing-circuit is also completed from the upper terminal of the battery e through the contacts e', a<4> of the depressed key, the contacts h<3>, h<4> and the bell l at the desired station back to the battery. When the call is answered and the key a is held by the pin e<2> in the position shown, a talking circuit is completed from the telephone instruments at station 1 through contacts k<4>, k<5> and a<3>, a<2> to the upper side of line 2, 2, contacts k<6>, k<4> at station 2, telephone instruments, contacts h<7>, h3, lower side of line 2, 2, contacts a<4>, a<5> at station 1, contacts k<2>, k<1> and h<3>, h<2> back to the instruments. This circuit is fed with current from the battery d through the inductance i to the upper lead of the line 2, 2 on the one side, and through the magnet b to the contacts k<1>, k<2>, k<3> on the other side. If now station 3 tries to call either station 1 or 2, the depression of a key a, as shown at station 3, completes a circuit from the lower terminal of battery d through the switch - hook contacts h<1>, h, the winding of magnet c, the contact m, e<4>, which is always closed by the depression of a key, and the contacts a<3>, a<4> to the lower lead of the line 1, 1. This lead being connected to the upper terminal of the battery d by the connexions previously traced, the magnet c is energized and rotates the armature k out of the field of the magnet b before this magnet is energized by the closing of the contacts a' a<2>. The contacts n, o, which are thus closed, complete the current of a busy signal from the battery e through the interrupter f, the contact o, the telephone instruments, the contacts h<2>, h<3>, and the contact n. The connexion of the instruments to the talking leads is prevented by the non-closing of the contacts k<1>, k<2>, k<3>. The depression of any key a releases all previously-depressed keys.

Title: A Process and Apparatus for the Production of Nitrogen and for Obtaining Useful Products in the said Process.
Inventor: WALLACE ROGER WILLIAM
IPC: C01B21/04
Filed: 1912-02-07
Granted: 1913-02-07
Abstract: 3147. Wallace, R. W., and Wassmer, E. Feb. 7. Nitrogen is obtained by passing a mixture thereof with oxygen through a chamber containing phosphorus; oxides of phosphorus are formed, and are subsequently separated from the nitrogen by deposition or by treatment with water, forming phosphorus oxyacids which may be saturated with any base, forming phosphates &c. The gaseous mixture treated may be atmospheric air, furnace gases, waste gases from the sulphuric acid chamber process, gas-engines, etc.; it is first freed, if necessary, from carbon dioxide, moisture, carbon monoxide, and sulphuretted hydrogen by any known method. The phosphorus is distilled off from a convenient source into one of two chambers or towers, or series thereof, placed in parallel, where it condenses on suitable refractory substances arranged to present large surfaces. When one tower, or a series, is saturated with phosphorus, the condensation is transferred to the other and the first is used for separating out nitrogen. Carbon monoxide in the gases may either be preliminarily burnt with excess of air before admission to the towers and the dioxide formed absorbed by means of ammonia solution, or if not previously removed, it is oxidized in the towers, any excess of oxygen from the air admitted for this purpose being subsequently removed by means of phosphorus. In connexion with the separation, the gaseous mixture may be bubbled through liquid phosphorus at the bottom of the tower.

Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 3542. Bowron, J. Feb. 12. Supports.-In a foldable support for bicycles &c. a frame 22 secured to the front forks 11 is provided at its upper end with sets of notches 34 for engagement by small hand-levers 31 upon a cross-piece 29, 30 connecting the two limbs 27 of the support. The limbs have loops 28 encircling the lower portion of the frame 22, and as the support is depressed the movement of the loops along bent portions 26 of the frame causes the limbs to take up a position at right-angles to the plane of the wheel. Towards their upper ends, the limbs carry springs 36, which bear upon loosely-mounted channel plates 35 connected by a transverse brake bar 37, Fig. 5. The plates 35 are also pivotally connected to arms 39 pivoted to clips 38 on the fork 11 and carrying a loop 40, so that, as the support is depressed, the bar 37 comes into engagement with the tyre of the wheel, the springs 36 being then compressed as shown in Fig. 2, and the arms 39 are operated to carry the loop into engagement with the frame member 15. In this way, when the support is in operation, the wheel is raised from the ground and prevented from rotation, and the fork is prevented from turning in the head of the machine.

Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 11,856. Linotype & Machinery, Ltd., Pearce, H., Parker, T. R. G., and Wright, F. W. May 18. [Addition to 15,969/12.] Inking-apparatus.-The tripping-mechanism for the inking-apparatus described in the parent Specification is modified by the use of adjustable stops for limiting the motion of the arm carrying the double pawl that actuates the inking trip-mechanism. The inking-rollers may be held untripped when desired for inking-up by providing means for disconnecting the actual tripping-means from the oscillating lever that normally trips the inking-rollers when the impression roller is tripped. Means are provided for preventing the ink-rollers from rebounding towards the plate cylinder when tripped. The improvements comprise, firstly, adjustable stops 91, 92, which limit the movements of the arm 45 carrying the double pawl 46, which coacts with a pawl plate 41 actuated from the plate cylinder 3 in the manner described in the parent Specification. The stops 91, 92 are adapted to ensure that the pawl 46 shall engage correctly with the abutments 43, 44 when required. Secondly, to allow the inking-rollers to be in working position independently of the automatic trip mechanism described, the link 63 which transfers the tripping-motion to the trip proper 70 is attached to a sector 94 loose on the shaft 65 but normally connected by a spring-plunger 95 to an arm 64 fixed on the shaft. This spring- plunger may be operated to allow the sector to move without tripping the inking-rollers. Rebounding of the inking-rollers is prevented by a spring-pressed rod 96 connected to an arm 98 on the shaft 65. This rod normally exerts no turning action on the shaft 65, but when the inking-rollers are tripped the rod 96 acts to retard their return to operative position.
