Granted: 1915-06-30
Abstract: 13,355. Hybinette, N. V. May 30. Copper and nickel, obtaining; electrolytes, circulating. - An acid nickel sulphate solution is electrolyzed w i t h anodes containing copper and nickel, and the resulting solution is freed from copper, for re-use, by cementation on slabs which consist m a i n l y of copper, nickel, and sulphur and have previously been employed, say for 24 hours, as anodes to bring their surfaces to the required condition. The slabs may be produced by smelting, in a blast furnace, an incompletely-roasted matte, or, if more copper is present, a mixture of unroasted ore with ore which has been roasted and leached to remove copper. The solution obtained from roasted ore may be electrolyzed to deposit most of the copper, and the residual impure nickel sulphate crystallized and either smelted to form anodes or added to the electrolyte. In order to prevent diffusion of copper through a porous partition to the cathode chamber, without employing a rapid counter - current of electrolyte, the fresh solution is introduced alternately at the bottom and top of the cathode compartment, which may be enclosed by filter cloth stretched on wooden frames K. A wooden rib E may be fitted to the lower edge or to all the edges of the cathode.

Shelters for housing aerial machines. - Dismountable air-ship sheds are constructed of two rows of spaced principals a pivotally attached to struts b, which are pivotally connected to foot-plates c and are raised, to erect the principals from an horizontal position, by ropes e attached to the plates c and passing over guide-pulleys i, g on standards f to motor or hand driven winding-drums m on the lower ends of the principals. During the initial raising of the struts, the ropes e bear on pulleys h carried by the struts to effect a lift of the struts, the pulleys sub, sequently becoming free from the ropes. The lower ends of the principals are provided with rollers l running on tracks laid down on the ground. When the opposing principals meet at the upper ends, the lower: ends are anchored to foot-plates d. The rollers h on the struts and the standards f may be dispensed with and the principals and struts erected by the aid of pivoted arms p which are connected to the winding ropes e and to ropes e<1> secured to the principals. Rollers non the principals engage the ropes el when the principals are lying horizontally, and on winding up the ropes e, the arms p are pulled down, whereby the ropes e' raise the pulleys n and the principals, continued downward movement of the arms p resulting in the pulleys n becoming free from the ropes e', and the lower ends of the principals being drawn towards the base of the struts. When all the principals have been erected, either simultaneously or in succession, diagonal cross struts are fixed, and the covering D, consisting of linen or tarpaulin, is placed in position. The covering is formed in sections to cover the space between two principals, and is mounted on a carriage C provided with guide-rails t' which are inclined to aline with guide-rails t on the principals. The covering is secured to trollys L and and to wires z<1> strained between the trollys, which are provided with vertical wheels y running on the faces of the rails t and flanged horizontal wheels y<1> engaging the edges of the rails, thereby preventing the trollys from leaving the rails. The covering is raised by connecting the upper end to endless ropes z passing round pulleys v, v<i> at the top and bottom of the principals and round drums w, operated by an endless cord x. The ridge is covered by a separate length of material. In order to allow the shed to be erected in any position on the landing-ground, parallel double rows, at an angle of 45 degrees, of foundation plates c are put down for securing the bottom ends of the struts, and rows of foot-plates d parallel to the plates c and rails or tracks at right-angles to the plates d are put down for the lower ends of the principals.
