Abstract: 13,931. Jõhde, E. June 8. Reflectors.-Hollow dish-shaped reflectors for lamps &c. are made frpm a hollow glass body by flattening its walls nearly together and fusing them together round the edges of a central opening. Reflecting-material may then be introduced through holes b formed in the reflector wall, the holes afterwards being closed, but this may be dispensed with, and in some cases opal glass may be used. The process of manufacture consists in blowing a hollow body such as a sphere or bulb and then flattening its walls nearly together mechanically, or by sucking out the contained air. The reflector shown may be made in one with a depending globe h, or it may be made with a cylinder, globe, bell, or chimney, and with crown edges. It may have fluted projections, coloured decorations, &c., which may be covered by coloured glass surfaces. These decorations &c. are preferably translucent, and are double-walled. Parts of the inner and outer walls of the reflector may be fused together to divide the space a into compartments, some of which only may be filled with reflecting-material to produce translucent and reflecting parts.

Abstract: 5246. Brßzda, T., Sch³ckher, A., and Richter, E. March 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Incrustation, preventing.-In the process for obtaining the fine precipitate for use as a de-incrustant as described in Specification 17,074/07, the feed-water is fed to a container intermittently or continuously, and is stirred vigorously while being heated. In a directcontact apparatus, the container a is divided by baffles b to compel the water entering at f to take a circuitous course to the exit p. To allow the steam to enter in puffs, the water first enters a space h formed in the container by a wall i. A casing j connected to this space contains a piston k loaded by a spring l. A rod m connects the piston and the cut-off valve n of the steam pipe d, from which steam is supplied to a pipe c within the container by jets e. The condensation of steam within the space h causes a variation of pressure, which by operating the valve n gives rise to a pulsating inflow of steam. If desired, a similar piston- and-valve arrangement may be used to cause a pulsating inflow of water; or coupled rotary valves for steam and water may be used. Modifications are described in which the water is passed through containers in series and in which the water is heated by a steam-pipe in the form of a looped stirrer. Separated gases are blown off periodically by a pipe t. If more mud is precipitated than is necessary for use in the boiler, the excess is removed by a filter r inserted in the pipe p when required. The apparatus may be externally heated.
