IPC: G07D7/00
Filed: 1910-11-29
Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 27,763. Bawtree, A. E. Nov. 29. Records. - For detecting fraud, the edges of banknotes and other security documents are formed with a serrated contour which corresponds to the form of a phonographic record of certain predetermined sounds. The bank-note may be passed through a reproducing-instrument, or the edge may be tested by means of a templet. The record may be produced on a moving photographic plate by means of a spot of light reflected from a mirror carried by a diaphragm closing the end of a recording- horn, a pair of shearing-edges having the same contour being produced by photo-engraving and electrotyping processes. The reproducer, shown in Fig. 2, consists of a pair of parallel plates A, B with a distance-piece C. The plate A is provided with a fine slit D opposite a round hole E in the plate B. The bank-note &c. is passed between the plates, and a blast of air is blown through the slit D by means of a tube, a reproducing-horn being fitted over the hole E. According to the Provisional Specification, the record may be produced by means of a stylus, in which case the reproducing-device consists of a plate provided with a hole through which a stylus on a reproducing-horn projects. The bank-note &c. is guided past the hole with its serrated edge in contact with the stylus by means of rotating cylinders.

Abstract: 29,807. Ireland, W. S. Dec. 22. Ink-ribbon mechanism. - In automatic feedreversal devices wherein the spool-shafts 18 are provided with crown ratchet - wheels 21 which are in alternate engagement with pawls 22, the pawls are carried by a universal bar 23, which is suspended by sway-levers, and is engaged by the type-levers 5. The pawls 22 are controlled by a longitudinally movable bar 30, which is carried by bell - crank levers having arms 29 which engage the pawls. The bar 30 is shifted by means of levers 43, which are held in contact with extensions 39 of the spool-hubs by springs 50. The spools are each provided with a hinged flap 41, 42, the part 41 normally fitting over a recess 40 in the extension 39, and the part 42 fitting round the spool-hub and being held by the pressure of the layers of the ribbon 15. When the ribbon is exhausted from one of the spools, the released flap is opened by means of a spring 51, and a roller 45 on the lever 43 drops into the recess 40, the bar 30 being moved to reverse the pawls by the engagement of a pin 47 with an arm 46 on the lever 43. The ratchet - wheels are provided with retaining- pawls 28, which are moved simultaneously with the pawls 22 by means of levers 31 which are engaged by pins 33 on the bar 30. The bar 30 is formed with notches 37 adapted to engage a detent-roller 36 carried by a slide which is pressed upwards by a spring 38. The ribbon passes from the spools over guide - rollers 52. The spools are provided with winding-handles 55, and to facilitate attachment of the ribbon, one of the flanges is formed with a sectorshaped opening.

Abstract: 3091. Moore, J. W., and Moore, E. Feb. 7. [Cognate Application, 16,564/11.] Dust, preventing rising and spreading of.- The dust raised by motor asd other vehicles is drawn through wheel conduits into a collecting- box by suction produced by a fan or the equivalent or by air collected by the motion of the vehicle. Fig. 2 shows one construction of apparatus in which a fan is employed. The fan d delivers air through the pipes h<1> and the collecting-box l, thereby inducing dust-laden air through the bell-mouthed conduits b, c. These conduits may all lead into a common intermediate chamber which communicates with the collecting-box, or may each be connected to the latter independently. The collecting-box is provided with suitable compartments or baffles and with gauze-covered outlets for the air. The collected dust is dumped through a sliding or hinged door operated by levers from the front of the car. In a modified construction, the fan is omitted and branch pipes from the conduits b leading to the front of the vehicle are used to collect air by means of the motion of the vehicle, and may be closed by internal flap valves. Shields may be mounted so as to project in front of the wheels to direct the draught of air to the collectors or conduits. The mouths of the conduits may be wholly or partially closed by suitable means. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 9040/06, 14,387/06, 12,018/07, and 15,660/07.

Inventor: BINARD ARTHUR
IPC: F27B7/00
Filed: 1912-06-22
Granted: 1913-06-23
Abstract: 14,637. Binard, A. June 22. Roasting.-Ores are roasted in a muffle extending through an oscillating drum inclined to the horizontal, and heated by means of furnace gases or hot air. Figs. 1 and 2 show the apparatus adapted to be heated by gaseous fuel. It consists of a cylinder 1 with a refractory lining resting on rollers 2 on which it oscillates. The muffle 5 is provided with a grooved hearth which causes the particles of ore to roll during the oscillation of the drum. Gas enters the furnace by the flue 14 and passes beneath the hearth and over the muffle through the flues 6, 7, air for combustion being supplied by a fan 12 through the flues 11 and 13. The gases escape through the flue 15. Air is supplied to the muffle through flues 9, 8, 10. A certain quantity of ore is introduced into the muffle during each oscillation through the conduit 21 by any suitable charging-device. The device shown consists of a hopper 20 provided with a double slide 22, 23, which is moved to- and-fro as the drum oscillates by striking against stops 26. The ore passes frcm the hopper successively through openings in the slides 22, 23 into conduit 21. The drum is provided at each side with a balance weight to facilitate the reversal of the drum. When the roasting is effected by hot air, the air is first heated to 300-400‹ C. and then led through all the passages of the apparatus before entering the muffle at the discharging end.

The use of a nickel soap is referred to, but it is stated that a mixture of two different soaps, for instance, of iron or copper and nickel &c., gives a better result. The soap is separated by allowing the oil to remain quiescent so that the soap can agglomerate on cooling, and afterwards filtering.

Title: An Improved Method of Constructing Retort Settings.
Inventor: PARKER GEORGE WARD
IPC: C10B1/06
Filed: 1912-08-09
Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 18,354. Parker, G. W. Aug. 9. Retort furnaces.-The partition walls which form the setting for retorts are moulded in situ by placing a mould around the retort or retorts and filling the mould with plastic or semi-plastic refractory material and allowing it to set. Figs. 1 and 3 show the application of the invention to a gas bench. The partition walls D are provided with openings 2 for the passage of combustion products and enabling the operator to inspect the furnace from front to rear. In building up the partition walls, blocks 8 are preferably employed to support the bottom tier of retorts. The mould is preferably made so that it may be collapsed and easily removed, but it may be left in position and burnt out when the furnace is fired. The mould as shown consists of central vertical members 5 with hinged wings 6 spaced apart and tied by bolts 3, some of which pass through filler blocks 4 to form the openings 2, and side members 5<a> with hinged wings 6<a>. When the mould has been erected and the lower tier of retorts placed in position, the refractory material in a plastic condition is poured into the mould and tamped. If silica is used, strips of cardboard or other suitable material 9 are inserted in the plastic material to form expansion joints. After the lower part of the partition has been formed, blocks 7 are preferably placed on the lower tier to support the retorts of the second tier, but if desired the wings 6, 6<a> of the mould may be extended so that they meet and the entire partition wall may be moulded. The operation of filling the mould around the first tier of retorts is repeated for the second tier until the partition wall is carried up to the top tier. When the material in the mould has set, a small fire is lit in the chamber B to drive the moisture out of the material, after which the mould is removed and the partitions subjected to sufficient heat to burn or fire the material and also destroy the strips of cardboard 9.
