Title: Improved Process for the Bleaching of Cotton Waste and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: MITCHELL JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: D01C1/02
Filed: 1912-03-27
Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 7408. Mitchell, J. W. March 27. Circulating and passing fluids through materials.-Cotton-waste has the grease removed and may be subsequently bleached without removing the bulk from the trucks in which it is carried, for example, to a kier. The trucks A have a solid bottom a and a perforated bottom a', the first having a pipe a<3> adapted for connexion with an aperture b<2> leading from a chamber b in the bottom of a kier B, which is shown constructed to carry two trucks. A tight joint may be made between the pipe a<3> and the aperture b<2> by a union or by a sleeve and washer. A still C and storage tanks E<1> are connected by pipes c, e with the piping in the circuit of a pump G, the circuit leading to the top openings F and to the chamber b. A steampipe H may be fitted and the keir heated by a steam-coil at the base. A drain-pipe K and a pipe for admission of bleaching-liquor are also provided. Benzene or other grease solvent is first passed either from the top or bottom, the pipe being valved to allow this, and is subsequently pumped into the still. Steam is admitted to remove any benzene, and finally bleaching - liquor is circulated. In a modification, the kier is dispensed with, and the truck is fitted with a closed top fitted for connexion to the pipe F. In a further modification, the liquors are led in at the bottom of the kier, the two trucks connected by a bridge for the liquors, and the chamber b is divided so that the liquors may be pumped in one side and out the other.

Title: Improvements in Coin Slot Machines.
Inventor: MCCLATCHIE JOHN MILTON
IPC: G07F5/22
Filed: 1912-04-30
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 10,239. MeClatchie, J. M., and Cogland, R. E. April 30. Hiring telephones.-The device is shown applied to a coin-freed telephone but is applicable to coin-freed apparatus generally, and consists in the arrangement whereby a coin in passing down the coin shoot of a telephone call box meets an obstruction preventing its further descent and completes an electric circuit, thereby effecting the removal of the obstruction and the operation of an indicating device at the exchange for indicating the value of the coin inserted. The indicator 27 is arranged in the main telephone circuit 6 and the coin-receiving box 1 forms part of the local telephone circuit, the arrangement being such that when the lid 5 of the box is opened to permit the insertion of coins the telephone is cut out. Coin action, electric-connexion and multiplecoin.-Coin shoots 9, 14, 17 adapted to receive coins of three different values (say 25, 10 and 5 cents) are arranged in the coin box 1 with their lower ends superposed, a part 11 of each shoot being insulated and connected to a terminal 8. Pins 21, 22 carried by a plate 20 project through openings in the sides of the shoots, the plate 20 being connected to a second terminal 7, and the pins 22 being insulated from the plate so as to serve merely as supporting pins. A 25- cent piece inserted in a slot 2 comes to rest on the first pin 21 and closes the circuit through the portion 11 of the shoot of (1) the indicator 27, whereupon a solenoid 26 advances a pointer 29 through the space of five divisions on the dial, and of (2) an electro-magnet 23 in the local circuit, whereupon the plate 20 is moved to the left against the action of spring-hinged supports 25, withdrawing the pins 21 and breaking the circuit, the coin falling to the first pin 22 which supports it until the plate 20 has returned, whereupon it escapes to the next pin 21 and again closes the circuit. As there are five pins 21, the 25-cent piece closes the circuit five times during its passage through the shoot and advances the indicating pointer through twenty-five divisions. A 10-cent piece inserted in a slot 3 engages only the two lowest of the pins 21 and closes the circuit twice, while a 5-cent piece inserted in a slot 4 engages only the lowest of the pins 21. Recording-mechanism of known type acts in conjunction with the indicating - mechanism to record the total amount of money inserted in the machine.

Title: Improvements in, or relating to, Means and Apparatus for the Automatic Discharge of Sewage and Liquids from Tanks, Sewers, or other Receptacles.
Inventor: COBBETT WILBERFORCE
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 1912-07-03
Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 15,512. Cobbett, W. July 3 Actuating; plug lift valves.-A tapered lift valve t for discharging liquid from a tank, sewer, or the like is opened automatically on the alteration of the level of another liquid in a tank a, the said alteration of level causing a liquid to be supplied to a flushing-tank p for rapid transference in bulk to an operating- bucket r. The period of discharge depends on the rate at which the bucket is emptied. With the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 for holding sewage until the tide falls, the fall of a float i in the tank a, the liquid level in which alters according to the tide, opens a secondary valve n which controls a supply of water to the flushing tank p. The tank p discharges into a bucket r, which, in falling, opens the sewage discharge valve t by means of a rocking-arm s. The bucket r may be emptied through a small tank x, Fig. 4, having an outlet valve 2 and an inlet valve controlled by a float 1, which keeps the waterlevel constant until the bucket r is empty. The valve n is closed by the arm s as the bucket falls. Two levers, or a bell-crank lever with a hooked end may be arranged to be operated by the rocking-arm s to prevent the float i from rising until the bucket is emptied.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Watering and Sweeping the Streets and for Collecting the Sweepings.
Inventor: VERSCHUREN AUGUSTE
IPC: E01H1/04
Filed: 1913-03-03
Granted: 1913-08-28
Abstract: 5325. Verschuren, A. March 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Sweeping-machines; taking up mud and refuse for removal.-Relates to street-sweeping machines in which the sweepings are brushed into a trough, and conveyed thence by a conveyer to a collecting-bin adapted to be raised and tipped, and consists in the particular construction and arrangement of parts described. The machine is mounted on a power - driven vehicle and carries a rotary brush 9 which is mounted on an axle driven by gearing from the rear axle 10 of the vehicle so that it sweeps the dirt up a plate 12 and on to an endless band 13 also driven from the rear axle 10. This band conveys the sweepings to a semicylindrical trough 22 extending from side to side of the vehicle. A pair of bucket scoops 24, mounted on arms 25 which rotate on a shaft co-axial with the trough and driven from the axle 10, scrape the sweepings out of the trough and tip them into a bin 23 mounted on wedge-shaped trunnions 41. To insure complete discharge of the contents of the scoops, these are made quadrantal in crosssection and carry pivoted leaves 33 which are caused to rotate and tip out the contents by the engagement of arms 34 with a cam-surface 35 fixed to the frame. Bent rods 36 are rotatably mounted in vertical sleeves 40 on the bin 23 so that they may be swivelled backwards, and their eyes 37 are connected by pivot pins 38 to brackets 39 on the frame in order that the bin may be hauled by rope- and-pulley tackle 43, 45 into the dotted-line position to discharge its contents down an incline 46 into a separate cart. A water-tank 3 on the machine delivers water through the pipe 4 to an ordinary watering-tube 5 extending transversely across the vehicle. The axle of the brush 9 may be raised by a system of levers 11 out of contact with the road surface. A modification is described adapted to be propelled by band. The bucket conveyer of this device has only one bucket. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a rotary brush 57, 58, Fig. 5 (Cancelled), having two side plates, rigidly secured to the frame of the brush, between which plates is secured a ring of blocks 60 carrying the bristles 50. The plates have three concentric rings of holes 54, 55, 56 adapted to receive screw-bolts 53 for locking the blocks to the plates. As the bristles of the brush wear, the diameter of the brush is kept fairly constant by transferring the screw bolts from the inner to the outer rings of holes, additional bristle-blocks being introduced to complete the expanded ring of blocks. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
