Abstract: 1564. Noad, J., and Oil Shale Products, Ltd. Jan. 20. Drawings to Specification. Retorts and methods of working; carbonizing processes and apparatus.-Fertilizing-material, fats, and oils are obtained from sewage sludge, after the removal of water by straining or filtering, by disintegrating it, and distilling it in thin layers at 400-500‹ F. in apparatus, such as that described in Specification 18,334/09, wherein it is fed along a series of step-like ledges and is caused to drop from one step to another in cascade. The fatty and oily matters distil over, and are separated from the condensed water, which, together with its organic content is added to the powdery or fibrous tailings from the retort to form the fertilizer. Dilute sulphuric acid may be dropped into the vapour pipe from the retort to separate the ammonia as sulphate, or acid may be added to the raw sludge. Water or steam may be admitted to the retort to facilitate the distillation.

Title: Improvements relating to Lock Gates, Sluices and the like.
Inventor: BUCHHOLZ MAX
IPC: E02B7/20
Filed: 1913-03-28
Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 7391. Buchholz, M. March 28. Sluice and lock gates.-Relates to sluice and lock gates in which yielding hinge supports are employed. These are so constructed that the gate can adjust itself when being closed without straining the hinges, for example, in the case of an obstruction. Fig. 4 shows in part elevation a modification in which the hinge-pins 3 are mounted as swinging cranks; alternatively the cranks may be replaced by pivoted links working between stops. Figs. 7 and 8 are vertical and horizontal views respectively of a lock gate. The gate is supported at the upper end by a collar hinge 15 and at the bottom bv an inclined thrust-rod 4 free to rock within limits so as to vary the distance between the abutments 10 and 11. The inclination of the rod 4, as shown in Fig. 7, may be so arranged that when there is no water pressure upon the gate the two sets of abutments 10 and 11 will be clear one of the other, so that the gate may be moved without friction, and as the pressure upon the gate increases the abutments will gradually approximate. If the rod 4 is nearly vertical, the abutments 10 will always press against the fixed abutments 11, but with less pressure than in other types of gate. Even if the rod 4 is vertical, it is possible for the outer corner of the gate to move away from the abutments and thus reduce friction. The rod 4 is also preferably inclined to the face of the gate, as shown in Fig. 8, so that as the water pressure falls the pressure between the packing- bars 20 and the sill face 2 will fall. This result may also be attained by bending the rod 4. Several alternatives to the rod 4 are described, for example, Fig. 14 shows a pivot mounted upon a roller bearing, and Fig. 16 shows how the pin 4 may be moved positively by means of a toggle and draw-rod 21.

Abstract: 17,457. Meadowcroft, J., Meadowcroft, W., and Meadowcroft & Son, W. July 30. B o t t l e s, washing.- Comprises apparatus for injecting and ejecting air and liquid into and from siphon bottles. A number of siphons are supported in an approximately upright position above a table E which may rotate over a fixed cam-plate or be fixed above a rotary cam-plate. Each siphon is supported by the spout a engaging a rinsing-head B, and is positioned by a forked member a<1> and by a spring cap a<2>. In the charging position, the member g<3> is raised by a cam G<1> and thus raises the spring- mounted members G, a through the medium of a lever g<2>. This movement raises the cap a<2> from the siphon head and also raises the lever g which, when depressed, opens the siphon valve. The weight of the siphon depresses the spring - mounted rinsing-head B so that depending members c<5> of inlet and discharge valves C, D are positioned respectively for operation from cams C', D' by mechanism similar to that acting in conjunction with the cam G'. During the rotation of the machine, the siphon is gripped by the cap a<2> and the valve opened by the lever g, then a supply of aerated or carbonated liquid is introduced through the valve C and subsequently expelled through the valve D, and finally the siphon is released by the cam G<1> and removed by hand from the machine. The discharged air and water is delivered through pipes d<1>, d<2> to an annular gallery in communication with a waste-pipe d. In a modified form of machine, several pairs of cams C<1>, D<1> are provided, so that the siphons are charged and emptied several times during a revolution. In another modification, the inlet and discharge valves and the gripping-mechanisms are mounted on a fixed frame and are operated by cams on a single rotating shaft. Both types of machine may be fitted with an additional valve operated similarly to the other valves and arranged to supply air to expel the liquid from the siphons.

According to the invention, the bolt 3,2,1 is provided with two shoulders 4, 5, which engage a shoulder within the sleeve b and the outer end of the sleeve b respectively, as shown, in order to hold the hub sleeve b tightly against the sprocket bearing, and with pairs of flats i, g<1>, Fig. 4, which engage corresponding flats on the sleeve band in the frame fork h<2> respectively, thereby preventing rotation of the bolt and sleeve. In a modification, the flats i and the corresponding ones in the bore of the sleeve b may be omitted, in which case the sleeve is held against rotation by endlong pressure of the shouldtrs on the bolt. In a further modification, either the shoulder 4 or the shoulder 5 may be omitted, in which case the bolt is made with two diameters only, instead of with three as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. The bolt may be provided with a flat-sided rotatable collar m, Fig. 5, which can occupy the position shown, so as to fill up the gap between the end of the hub and the fork, or can be turned so as to pass through the fork h<2> when the bolt is withdrawn. The detached wheel may be placed between the front frame stays.
