IPC: C01G9/00
Filed: 1911-05-12
Granted: 1912-05-13
Abstract: 11,539. Ranson, C. May 12. Ammonium chloride nitrate, sulphate, sulphite, and other salts; ammonia.-Zinc sulphite which is calcined to oxide suitable for the production of alkali zincate and zinc sulphide is obtained by treating a solution of a soluble zinc salt, such as the sulphate, chloride, or nitrate, with ammonium sulphite or bisulphite, the excess of sulphurous acid being removed, for instance, by heat or exhaustion or both, when bisulphite is used. The reaction is preferably carried out at a moderate temperature, but the liquor may be finally boiled to cause separation of more zinc sulphite. The zinc salt used may be obtained from a.sulphide ore. The ammonium salt produced by the double decomposition after separating the zinc sulphite is converted into sulphite or bisulphite for re-use. The regeneration is effected by distilling with lime, the ammonia being then treated with sulphurous acid. Specifications 9432/99 and 6684/11 are referred to.

Abstract: 7805. British Insulated and Helsby Cables, Ltd., Mordey, W. M., Astley, J. W., and Saunderson, D. B. April 3. Conductors; suspending and supporting.- Trolly-wire gear is constructed with a substantially cylindrical wire having a continuous deep groove enlarged at the inside so as to engage with a suspender of considerable length which is dropped in and then wedged. The groove b may be of the shape shown in Fig. 1, or may be wedge-shaped with straight sides or with serrated sides, or more than one such groove may he formed in the conductor. As shown in Fig. 1, the supports e may be wedge-shaped on their inner faces and parallel on the outside, so that each half may be introduced and then locked by being brought together axially so as to make the inclined faces wedge together and jam the bulbs f into the groove. The plates e may be secured to the suspension fitting, or the suspension car itself may be shaped so as to constitute part of the wedging-device, which acts in conjunction with a movable wedging-piece. In the modification shown in Fig. 14, the two parts e of the suspension may be rocked into locking engagement with the groove by screwing- up the stud m so as to cause the halves to turn about the overhanging edge of the groove. In a further modification, the halves may be placed back to back and similarly rocked into locking engagement, but in this case one half rocks against the other instead of against the lip of the groove. As shown in Fig. 16, the split suspender c is forced into engagement by wedges h. In the form shown in Fig. 18, which may be used with existing clamping suspension fittings e, intermediate wedging suspension fittings p are used and projecting parts n serve to strengthen the overhanging parts of the wire. In the construction shown in Fig. 22, the suspension consists of relatively thin castings or stampings, which are introduced separately, turned round in the groove, and then moved up together.
