Title: Improvements in the Treatment of the Pan Scale of Salt Pans, and of its Products, and in the Apparatus used.
Inventor: BALE FREDERICK
Filed: 1905-05-23
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 10,722. Bale, F. May 23. Cements.-Relates to the treatment and utilization of residues obtained in the evaporation of brine. After the evaporation has been conducted to as low a point as possible in the fine-salt pans S, water is admitted, preferably after the scale has been loosened, and the mixture is allowed to boil until the salt in the scale is dissolved. The mud is swept out through a door d in a movable partition P, and is removed thence into a pocket R. The gypsum mud is washed through a strainer in the bottom of the pocket and passes by conduits c to a converter C, where it is separated from the water by decantation and afterwards dried at 150-200‹ C. for use as a plaster or cement. The process is also applied to the treatment of scale and sludge from the broad salt pans. In this case, the scale is ground to powder and treated with cold water from the solution of the salt. The movable partition mentioned above may in some case be replaced by a special pocket. The operations may also be carried out in a circular salt pan provided with a rotating scraper. The converter C used for drying the gypsum is of this construction, and is provided with a mill K for grinding the product.

Title: Improvements in Water-jackets for Cupola, Blast, and similar Furnaces.
Inventor: HAWKES CHARLES WILLIAMS
Filed: 1905-06-06
Granted: 1905-10-05
Abstract: 11,875. Hawkes, C. W., and Klepetko, F. June 6. Blast and cupola furnaces.-To prevent leakage from the water-jacket of a blast, cupola, or similar furnace, the inner wall of the jacket is constructed of an unbroken, seamless surface, and the usual tuyere block is dispensed with, the inner wall being punched and either flanged outwardly or provided with a nipple welded to the wall around the opening. When the depth between the walls of the jacket is great, a second nipple 4, Fig. 1, is formed on the outside sheet 2 of the jacket, and the edge of the nipple 3 on the inner sheet 1 is expanded against the end of the nipple 4. For jackets of moderate depth, the end of the nipple 3 is passed through an opening in the outside sheet and expanded against its outer face. An extension ring 6, Fig. 4, is fitted when the nipple deteriorates or weakens. To protect the tuyere from injury by the punching-bar, a tubular ring 7, Fig. 1, is provided and is secured at its outer end by an annular ring 8, and at its inner end by a similar ring or by being flanged as shown in the Figure. The spacing- members 13, which extend between the walis for nearly the whole length of the jacket, are separated by a block 15, connected together by rivets 14, and frictionally retained in position by stay bolts 11 welded to or screwed into bosses formed on the inside wall. In modifications, lateral displacement of the members 13 is prevented by tie-rods 16, Fig. 11, having screw-threaded portions 17 and clamping-nuts 18, or by flanges 19, Fig. 13, formed on either wall of the jacket. In these modifications, the spacing-members extend the full length of the jacket, but passages are formed in the ends of the webs to allow of the free circulation of the water. In further modiflcations, the bolts 11 are dispensed with and the spacing-members may be welded directly to the inside sheet, or secured by studs welded to the sheet, or by studs 22<1>, Fig. 18, secured into the inside sheet, and may merely engage the outside sheet or be secured to it in any suitable manner.

Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Gears and Hub Brakes for Cycles.
Inventor: MITCHELL FRANK
Filed: 1905-06-22
Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 12,910. Mitchell, F., Seabrook, P. B. H., and Seabrook, H. H. P. June 22. Variable-speed gearing; clutches -In a variable. speed driving-gear and back-pedalling brake mechanism for bicycles &c., the planet-pinion carrier d is adapted to drive the hub through a pawl-andratchet or like clutch, while the internally-toothed ring e may be directly connected to the hub or disengaged therefrom by throwing a set of pawle into or out of action, the carrier d being used to operate the brake on back-pedalling. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the pawls m have pins o which, for the low speed, are pressed inwards by a dished disk p, so that the hub is driven through the ring e, wheels f, the ratchet-toothed carrier d, and pawls l. The disk p, normally held in its inoperative position by a spring r, works on a screw-thread q and is pulled round by a cord or rod attached to a pin t. To prevent friction between the pins o and the edge of the disk p, a separate outer part of the disk may be mounted by a ball bearing on the face part. The screw q may be replaced by a cylindrical piece upon the cone h carrying a pin to engage a slot in the boss of the disk p. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 5 and 6, pawls m<1>, mounted in the hub shell to engage outer ratchet teeth upon the ring e, are adapted to be held out of engagement by means of a ring x passed under the pins o. The ring is slidingly connected by bolts y to a disk z, which, pressed towards the left by a spring 3, is drawn in the other direction by a cord s. On back-pedalling, a rearward extension 5 of the carrier d frictionally carries round a cage 11, so that rollers 9 running up the inclined surfaces 10 force stationary brake-drum segments 6 into contact with the hub. The segments may be directly fixed to the cone 7, or, to allow of the machine being wheeled backward without applying the brake, the drum may be connected to the cone by vertically-acting pawls or the like 8, which prevent the drum from turning forward but allow it to turn backward. On recommencing to drive, the cage is carried round till its ridges 12 engage the shoulders of the surfaces 10, when it is again held stationary and the rollers no longer engage the brake segments, which close together.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Fluid Pressure Brake Systems for Railway and Tramway Vehicles and the like.
Filed: 1905-07-03
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 13,707. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. July 3. Brakes.-The straight air-brake system, in which' the brakes are applied automatically in the event of rupture of the train, described in Specification No. 10,877, A.D. 1904, is modified by connecting the motor-man's valve M or M<1>, through a pipe H, directly to the main reservoir R, independently of the high-pressure train-pipe L and the emergency valve V, so that the high-pressure train-pipe is not affected by ordinary service applications of the brake, while the emergency application is effected, on rupture of the train, in the same manner as with the previous arrangement. In service applications, air flows from the reservoir R, through the pipe H, motor-man's valve M or M<1>, train-pipe T, 'and valve V to the brake cylinder B. The only function of the emergency valves V<1> on the other cars of the train during the service application, is to allow the auxiliary reservoirs R' to supply air slowly to the train-pipe L to compensate for any drop in pressure that may be produced by. taking air from the main reservoir. Cocks j, which are normally closed, can be opened to raise the pressure in the train-pipe L to its normal value to release the brakes after an emergency application. Conductor's valves K permit of an emergency application of the brakes from any car of a train.

On this bar slides a sleeve 8 formed with a transverse sleeve 9 carrying the shank 10 of a cutter-head 11. The head 11 is formed with a diagonal recess for the tool 13 which is clamped by a segmental piece 14 and screw 16. The depth of cut is regulated by a shoe 18 through which the cutter projects. This shoe is carried by a shank 19 adjustable by a nut 20, and is prevented from rotating by a pin 22. The cutter head is prevented from rotating in the sleeve 9 by a pin 17. The distance of the cutter from the edge of the plate is regulated by a micrometer arrangement comprising a screw 23 engaging the shank 10 and a sleeve 25 screwed to engage the screwed end 27 of the sleeve 9. The boss of the sleeve 25 is engaged between a shoulder 24 on the screw 23 and a head 29 splined to rotate with the screw. A nut 31 is provided for clamping the head 29 and sleeve 25 so that they and the screw 23 move together. On slacking the nut 31, the screw 23 may be turned to place the tool at any desired zero position, and after tightening the nut 31, the tool may be set from this zero position by turning the screw 23 and sleeve 25 together, a graduated scale 32 being marked on the sleeve 25 to assist in this operation. The threads of the sleeve 25 and screw 23 are preferably of different pitches. In order to lift the tool when a particular point on the plate has been reached, an adjustable piece 33 having a bevelled end 34 is provided on the frame, and a bevelled nut 40 adjustable on a screw screwed into the shank 9. The engagement of the nut with the piece 33 lifts the tool. The plate to be lined is held at the edge adjacent to the tool by means of a spring clamping-strip 48, secured to a narrower distance-strip 47 by a strip 49 and screws 50. The edge of the plate is pushed under the spring strip 48, until the latter engages the shoulder at the top of the bevel of the plate. To hold the plate in the direction of movement of the cutter, a slotted stud 51 is provided resting in a socket in the bed 4.
