Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Generating Acetylene Gas.
Inventor: BOWERS ADOLPHE FELIX
Filed: 1898-04-15
Granted: 1898-11-26
Abstract: 8825. Bowers, A. F. April 15. Acetylene lamps. - An automatic pressure regulator for acetylene generators consists of a receptacle of variable capacity which is enlarged, for charging it with air or liquid, by pulling one side. On releasing the tension, the receptacle tends to close under the action of the elasticity of its walls or of a spring, or under the weight of the apparatus, and thus to force out the air or liquid, which in turn forces water into the carbide holder. In the lamp shown in Fig. 11, the bellows 1 is attached to the bottom of the tank 12, and it is charged with water when the tank is lifted. When the tank is released, its weight forces water out of the bellows into the tank 12, and drives the water down below the distributer 23 so as to suspend the supply of water to the carbide until the pressure diminishes. The supply is permanently cut off by lifting the tank so that the pins 29 thereon are removed from grooves 30 in the base 28, and rest upon the top of the base.

If the ore contains gold or silver, a certain amount of lead may be added. The precious metal is removed with the lead. In certain cases, in which a volatile metal such as antimony is present, it may be distilled off during the process.

Granted: 1898-08-06
Abstract: 13,301. Florack, G. June 14. Rotary filters; cleansing.-Upon a rotating hollow shaft are mounted two sets of filtering- drums. One set, rotating within a chamber to which the liquid is supplied, partially filters the same as it passes through them to the hollow shaft, into which outside the supply chamber is introduced carbonic acid for the purpose of precipitating lime in the liquid. The second set of drums n<1>, n<2> forms a final filter. They revolve loosely, while prevented from lateral motion, on a sleeve r which revolves with, but can slide along, the hollow shaft a, and, according to its position thereon, allows communication through perforations o' between one or other of the drums and the hollow shaft, the drum so in communication (in the Figure n') being at the same time rotated by the clutch g. The other drum, being stationary, can be cleaned. Flaps v prevent the return of sediment to the hollow shaft. Sediment is removed by scrapers from the outsides of the first set of drums, and is carried by a screw conveyer or other means into a receptacle supplied with hot water for the purpose of dissolving out any soluble matter.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Receiving, Delivering, Sorting, and Registering Coins.
Inventor: MORIARTY EDWARD
Filed: 1899-10-26
Granted: 1900-07-14
Abstract: 21,415. Moriarty, E. Oct. 26. Tills.-Relates to improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 9343, A.D. 1899. Counting- drums for pounds, shillings, and pence respectively, loose on a common shaft B<7> and associated with loose pinions B<4> having clutch forks B<8>, are operated by sets of key levers A<1> through the medium of rocking bars B furnished with cam plates D, which are subject to pins on the key levers. Arms B<2> on the bars are connected by links to toothed sectors gearing with the pinions. The first action of a key lever is to lift a rocking frame A<4>, which by turning a loose cam shifts the shaft to engage the clutches. Additional rocking bars C with cam plates E are for the purpose of preventing the main ones from exceeding their proper movement. The mechanism for carrying the addition from one wheel to the next is as follows :-The arm B<2> of a rocking bar B has a certain amount of play on a pivot b<1>, but is normally locked by a spring latch b<3> engaging a shoulder near the top. An independent shaft J bears a cross-arm which is loosely jointed to the bottom of the arm and stands in close proximity to a rigid finger b<6> which projects from the latch. Acting through a lever (not shown), the registering drum from which a total is to be carried shifts the shaft J so that the cross-arm disengages the latch, while a second arm (not shown) comes into the path of a pin on the rocking frame A<4>. At the next operation the shaft J is consequently rocked, and in turn rocks the released arm of the bar, so transmitting the motion to the sector of the next registering-wheel. The order in which the cam plates E are arranged on a bar C is the reverse of that in which those D on a bar B are arranged, and an arm C' on the bar C meets the arm B<2> on the bar B. To prevent the arm B<2> from shifting beyond its proper position when operated independently of the bar, there is a hinged stop piece M which is lifted out of the way in the ordinary action by a pin c<x> on the arm C<1>. For preventing the too sudden return of the shaft J, a latch J<3> engaging in a notch holds it until tripped by the frame A<4>.
