Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 30,282. Crosfield & Sons, J., and Market, K. E. Dec. 30. Catalytic materials and processes.-In the catalytic reduction of unsaturated fats and fatty acids, the catalyst consists of metal applied to a finely divided porous support such as kieselguhr, fossil meal, asbestos, or charcoal. In an example, the material in a finely divided condition is impregnated with a solution of a nickel salt, such as the sulphate or nitrate. The material is then treated with alkali hydrate or its equivalent, and the nickel hydroxide is dried and then reduced, preferably with hydrogen. When the nitrate is used, the impregnated material can be dried directly and heated to produce nickel oxide which is then reduced. Specification 5188/11 is referred to.

Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 24,128. Braam, J. P. de. Nov. 10, 1910, [Convention date]. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-A shaft j, Fig. 3, for actuating signalling, warning, and recording devices and the brake valve, tends to rotate counter-clockwise under the action of a spring n, but is held in the position shown by a rod b engaging a tooth m on a disk k secured to the shaft. When a distant signal is passed, a track contact causes the rod b to be depressed, whereupon the shaft j rotates until the tooth m engages a pawl p<1>, as shown in Fig. 4. This movement partly opens the brake cock and actuates the signalling devices. The apparatus is reset by the driver by hand. When a home signal is passed, the rod b is given two successive pulls by a double track contact. The first pull causes the apparatus to take up the position shown in Fig. 4. The second pull causes the rod b to engage a pawl u, whereby the pawl p<1> is rotated out of engagement with the tooth m and the shaft j is further rotated, thereby completing the opening of the brake valve and the operation of warning and recording devices. The invention is stated to be particularly applicable to the class of apparatus described in Specifications 25.298/07 and 25,300/07.

Inventor: HARRIS JOHN
IPC: F27B9/24
Filed: 1911-11-11
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 25,142. Harris, J. Nov. 11. Roasting-furnaces.-Dust pollution of gases in mechanical roasting-furnaces is prevented at the initial stages by feeding the charge intermittently, each batch of material being removed from the delivery area before the next arrives, and is prevented at the later stages by keeping portions of the charge at different temperatures from promiscuous admixture. The charge delivered at B is spread around the rabble shaft E and spread outwards therefrom by a rake C, which preferably works upon a raised area G. The rakes C<1> may traverse stepped areas, and the plough L is provided for deflecting material from the openings in the floors. Seals may be formed by providing plates B<3> in the feed apertures B, B', B<2>, by placing annular, loose, or other plates K around the shafts, and by continuing the casing H of the discharge conveyer so that the extension is filled before the material reaches the outlet. The gas outlets M may be arranged at the corners or otherwise so that ore does not drop in the path of the draught through the furnace.

Abstract: 12,649. Stitt, J. May 29. Combined electrical and mechanical systems, non- automatic; track apparatus actuating signals other than on trains; miniature signals.-A train waiting at a starting signal locks the wire to the home signal in the danger position and sets the signalling instruments at " train on line " position. A train standing on a spring-supported treadle acts on a wire, in which an adjusting-screw is inserted, to lift a plate M in vertical guides so as to lock the bar K in the position shown in Fig. 9. The bar K is inserted in the wire for the home signal, which cannot be pulled off until the plate M is released when the train moves off the treadle. If the plate M is raised while the signal is at clear, the spring P is forced up against the bar and returns to the position shown when the signal is set to danger. The plate M rocks the bell-crank N to close a circuit from a battery 72, through the magnets 53 and a contact X controlled by the rod V attached to the armature of these magnets. The pin 60 lifts the signalling-instrument semaphore-arm to " train on line," in which position it is held by spring detents 76 until the magnets 63 are energized by the closing of their circuit at contacts on the starting-signal. Other contacts on the starting-signal post may control a bell in the advance cabin.
