Abstract: 20,758. Hall, W. A. July 26, [Convention date]. Sulphur.-By a modification of the process of treating pyrites described in Specification 20,757/12, [Class 1(ii), Inorganic compounds other than &c.], the amount of steam used is limited, so that the combined action of the reducing-flame of producer-gas and steam produces sulphur, and the formation of sulphur dioxide and carbonoxysulphide is prevented. The pressure inside the furnace is preferably maintained above that of the atmosphere. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the use of ' gaz pauvre,' i.e. a gas containing insufficient oxygen to support its complete combustion, such as producer-gas or water gas. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Inventor: LENNOX JOHN
IPC: F28B11/00
Filed: 1912-09-24
Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 21,669. Lennox, J., and Robertson, R. M. Sept. 24. Condenser systems.-The vacuum is broken in a jet condenser, in the event of failure of the air-pump, by means of a relief valve A which is normally held on its seat B bv the vacuum in the condenser against the action of a spring D, weight, or equivalent device tending to hold the valve off its seat, the valve being closed in starting the condenser by a separate device. The spring D operates between the valve cap F and adjustable nuts G on the valve stem E. To start the condenser, pins K on a loose collar J are brought into the position shown in camslots L so that the lifting tendency of the spring D is overcome by a spring H. The formation of the vacuum in the condenser depresses a piston P and pulls over a triangular lever M so that the pins K are in the vertical part of the slots L. The spring D is thus released, and lifts the relief valve A in the event of the vacuum falling to a dangerous extent. The Provisional Specification also states that a weight may be used to close the relief valve for starting purposes.

Vapour and vacuum apparatus, arrangements of; commutator switching - arrangements. - Vacuum valves are used in combination with a mechanical interrupter in obtaining unidirectional impulses from an induction coil etc.; the valves are thus prevented from hardening and the interrupter assisted in stopping backward discharge. A rotary or vibratory interrupter is arranged in series with a single valve, for example of the type described in Specification 25,047/05, and is driven in synchronism with the interrupter of the induction coil, or with the alternating-current supply if it is only desired to suppress alternate half-waves. Preferably, two breaks are used, one on each side of the valve. The apparatus may be duplicated to utilize both half-waves of the alternating current. Each single valve may be replaced by a group of valves connected in series, and, to avoid overheating any valve, the interrupter may be arranged to pass successive waves of current through a number of sets of valves in sequence.

Abstract: 18,187. Rose, W., and Rose Bros. Aug. 9. Paper bags, making.-Relates to machines for forming the bottoms of square-bottomed paper bags or for closing the mouths of filled bags. The invention consists in mounting an auxiliary folder on one of the folding-blades, and in arranging for this auxiliary folder to continue its movement when the folding-blade proper has made a fold, the object being to break or crease the paper along the lines of subsequent folds, thus initiating and facilitating the formation of the remaining folds. The small auxiliary folder consists of a bell-crank lever 39, 40, Fig. 4, and is pivoted on the main blade 30, which oscillates about a vertical shaft 31. When the blade 30 is nearing the end of its movement in folding down the side b of the bag, the short arm 40 of the auxiliary folder engages a stop 44 on the frame of the machine and is thus turned in its pivot so that it forces the fourth side d of the bag outwards, as shown in Fig. 6, creasing it along a line c. The side c is folded by a blade 46 similar to the blade 30, the formation of the fold being facilitated by the crease e.
