Patent GB-189918058-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Production of Calcareous Sandstone.
Inventor: MEURER HANS CHRISTIAN
Filed: 1899-09-06
Granted: 1900-09-06
Abstract: 18,058. Meurer, H. C., and Bormann- Zix, F. T. Sept. 6. Stone, artificial.-Artificial calcareous sandstone is prepared by obtaining an intimate mixture of dry hot sand, as described in Specification No. 12,368, A.D. 1896, with powdered lime (Staubkalk) and slaking the same in a mixer with the exact amount of warm water required. The temperature of the water must vary inversely with the temperature of the sand. The slaked mixture may be immediately passed to a second mixer, or, if allowed to cool, must be reheated before being passed to the second mixer. In the second mixer from 6-8 per cent. of hot water in a finelydivided state is added during the mixing process. The final product is pressed into blocks, and is afterwards hardened by high-pressure steam, sufficient water being carried over by the steam for the formation of calcium hydrosilicate.

Title: Improvements relating to the Precipitation of Bicarbonate of Soda.
Inventor: NAEF PAUL
Filed: 1900-09-24
Granted: 1901-09-21
Abstract: 16,973. Naef, P. Sept. 24. Alkuline bicarbonates; carbonates. -Relates to treating liquids w i t h carbonic acid, such as ammoniumchloride liquors to obtain sodium bicarbonate, and consists in using waste gases, such as furnace gases, for a part or the whole of the operation. The invention is not limited to any apparatus, but rotating cylinders such as are described in Specification No. 13,771, A.D. 1899, may be used. The heat of the furnace gases may be first used for distilling purposes as described in Specification No. 23,404, A.D. 1899, before employing the gases in this process. In the form shown, liquid enters through the tube a<3> the rotating cylinder a<1>, and is discharged through a tube a<4> to a settling-tank a<5> fitted with an agitator a<6>. The liquid overflows through a tube a<7> to a column a<2> of any construction, and then passes by a tube a<8> to another settling-vessel a<9>, also having an agitator a<10>. The liquid escapes through an outlet a<11>, while the precipitate leaves the settlers through outlets a<12>. Furnace gases enter the tower through the tube a<13>, pass out through the tube a<14> and enter the cylinder through the tube a<15>, finally escaping through the outlet a<16>. The precipitation may be completed by stronger gases, such as limekiln gases, in which case the latter gases enter the apparatus at a<13>, while the furnace gases enter at a<17>. Instead of the tower a<2>, a second cylinder similar to a' may be used.

Above the reservoir a is the hollow dome or vaporizer d, formed with or without heat-conducting tubes e, to which the hydrocarbon is fed either by wicks f or by absorbent material packed in a tube and surmounted by granulated metallic particles. Under the control of a screw valve j, working in a stuffing-box to prevent leakage, the vapour traverses the channel h and the tube to the nozzle o of a bunsen burner consisting of an outer airadmission and beating-tube p, to which is attached by a bayonet fastening s a mixing tube q, which is formed with two elbows to ensure a more perfect mixture of the air and vapour supplies by preventing a clear draught through to the burner head. The heat from the escaping products of combustion is conducted by the perforated disc m and the tube l to the vaporizing-dome d. Several burners may be arranged around a common reservoir a, and the lamp may be readily taken to pieces for cleaning.

Patent GB-190205012-A (GB)
Title: New or Improved Manufacture of Air Tubes suitable for use in Pneumatic Tyres, and Means or Apparatus for use in Making such Air Tubes.
Inventor: RUCKER MARTIN DIEDRICH
Filed: 1902-02-27
Granted: 1903-02-12
Abstract: 5012. Rucker, M. D. Feb. 27. Tyres, pneumatic.-Relates to the manufacture of air tubes for pneumatic tyres, which are protected by being formed with a layer of helicallywound inextensible threads. The rubber tube from which the air tube is to be constructed is first drawn on to the expansible mandrel shown in Figs. 3 and 4. This mandrel comprises a straight, cylindrical core c which is surrounded by a layer of inflatable tubes d each formed with inner and outer curved metal strips g, e and enclosed in a canvas or like cover f. A rubber tube h, preferably provided with a layer of threads, forms the outer cover of the mandrel, and the ends of the tube may be bound to the end-plates of the mandrel to form an inflatable chamber. When the rubber tube to be treated has been drawn on to the mandrel, the tubes d, h are simultaneously inflated through valves k<1> communicating with a coupling-piece k, the maximum pressure being controlled by spring- pressed relief valves k<2>. The inflation expands the mandrel with the rubber tube upon it, and after the outer surface of the tube has been washed and solutioned, a layer of inextensible thread which has been solutioned is wound on to form a close helix. A coat of solution and a layer of rubber may then be applied, and the tube is subjected to external pressure and the mandrel contracted, whereby the thread b<1> becomes crinkled on the tube a, as shown in Fig. 1. The tube near one end is left unprovided with thread, to allow the ends of the tube to be connected to form an endless tube. A machine for applying the thread to an endless air tube a is shown in Fig. 5, and the winding- apparatus in Fig. 7. The air tube, expanded by inflation, is guided by adjustable rollers o, r, and is moved slowly by means of a tensioned feedband 11 and winding drum 13. The air tube passes through a carrier t, which is rotated between rollers u by a toothed ring 5, and which winds thread from the spool w, through a solutioning-chamber x, on to the air tube a. To allow the air tube to be inserted into position and withdrawn, the carrier may be constructed in two parts hinged together, and one of the rollers u may be removable from its bearings. In a modification, two of the rollers r may be replaced by one large roller which is rotated by an additional feed-band at the same rate as the air tube is moved, to prevent distortion when the tube is inflated to a high pressure. Elongation of the tube may be prevented by means of an inextensible band secured along thesmaller circumference of the tube. When winding the thread on to the joined ends of the tube, it may be inflated to a higher pressure, to expand the overlapped parts to the required size. The thread may be wound on either before or after the tube has been vulcanized.
