Title: An Improved Smoke Consuming and Fuel Saving Contrivance, applicable to Boiler and other Furnaces.
Inventor: PRICE HARRY LOWELL
Filed: 1914-01-12
Granted: 1914-09-10
Abstract: 860. Price, H. L., and Cartwright, G. J. Jan. 12. Smoke, preventing; air, supplying; firebridges.-Relates to means for supplying air and for promoting secondary combustion in boiler and other furnaces. In the water-tube boiler furnace shown in Figs. 1 and 3, a conduit H above the furnace door supplies air through openings H', H<2>, &c., which increase in size from the inlet end, where there is a valve I, to the far end in order to obtain an even distribution. The total area of these openings is equal to the area of the conduit H, which is about 1/300 of the grate area. In the bridge M is an air passage N which has similarly-arranged openings; it is controlled by a valve I and is of about 1/500 of the grate area. A portion of the unconsumed furnace gases is drawn off by tubes J, K and delivered by graduated openings L', L<2>, &c. in a tube L behind the bridge, where they ignite and. inflame the unburnt gases passing over the bridge. The valves I are formed, as shown in Fig. 5, with a rotary hit-and-miss plate having openings I<5>, which are about 3 1/3 of the area of the air conduit. In the twin-flue marine boiler shown in Figs. 10 and 13, a U-shaped air-supply pipe HH is secured to the dead-plate G<2>, having an air-supply valve I at its ends and openings HH<1>, HH<2>, &c. increasing in size to the centre of the pipe. A passage N in 'the bridge has openings N', N<2>, &c. increasing in size to the centre, air being supplied to it by tubes O in the ash-pit, at the ends of which are valves I.

Granted: 1915-04-13
Abstract: 3813. Addison, A. I. Feb. 13. Cycles and systems of working.-Heavy hydrocarbons, for instance such as contain up to 40 per cent of asphalt, are injected into steam at a temperature at which carbon has a greater affinity for oxygen than hydrogen has, whereby sufficient nascent oxygen is produced to combine with the whole of the carbon of the fuel. Air may be present or not. On the suction stroke, steam is introduced through a valve 12 into a chamber separated from the cylinder by a partition 3 perforated at the top and containing radial plates 5 on to which the fuel is projected at the end of the compression. A light fuel and air may be used at starting. Instead of steam, water may be injected into the chamber and vaporized therein.

Abstract: 6165. Magerle, E., and Martinek, H. June 16, 1913, [Convention date]. Electro-magnets; solenoid maintaining movement of ball or roller along track.-A ball or roller is kept in motion by a solenoid, and may close and open the circuits of lamps for advertising purposes. A coil 1, Figs. 1 and 4, is provided at one end with two contact strips 2, 3 which, when connected by the ball 4, cause the excitation of the coil, thereby drawing the ball towards the centre of the coil and breaking contact. The coil may be conical in shape, and either the coil or the contacts may be arranged so that the ball is located at one side of the coil axis, as shown in Fig. 4. The ball may roll down an inclined pathway, and be raised at the bottom by one or more coils. As shown in Fig. 6, the path of the ball 4 is provided on one side with a continuous contact 16 and on the other side with the separate contacts 17 of advertising lamps 18, and contacts 20 are provided for the electro-magnet coil 21. Fig. 8 shows the ball 28 coacting with contactplates 24, 25 and resting upon a support 29 which prevents the ball from falling through when the contact plates become worn on account of sparking.

Title: Improved Process for the Treatment of the Ores of certain Metals.
Inventor: LANCE ROBERT DENIS
IPC: C22B3/00
Filed: 1914-06-13
Abstract: 14,267. Lance, R. D. April 15, [Convention date]. Antimony, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, copper, nickel, zinc, and other oxides, chlorides, and sulphates; calcium and calcium-sodium oxychlorides. -Ores, such as pyritic, carbonate or silicate ores of antimony, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, copper, nickel, and zinc, are treated to obtain chlorides which are then treated with a soluble oxychloride of an alkaline earth, calcium oxychloride and calcium-sodium oxychloride being mentioned. The ore may be first treated to obtain sulphates, which are converted into chlorides by alkaline-earth chloride, or to obtain chlorides direct by treating with gaseous hydrochloric acid or roasting with alkali or alkaline-earth chloride, the metal chlorides being volatilized or leached out. The chloride solution, however obtained, is treated with alkaline-earth oxychloride to obtain metallic hydrates and alkaline-earth chlorides for re-use. In an example, a sulphide ore containing zinc, lead, copper, and iron is heated with diluted sulphuric acid until pasty, then heated in retorts to 450-500‹ C., sulphur and sulphuric acid being evolved, and if it is desired to peroxidize the iron, it is finally heated in a muffle to 800‹ C., steam, preferably superheated, with or without air, being injected at the hottest hearth. The product is leached with acidulated water or water respectively, if desired under pressure. The liquor, neutralized if necessary, is treated with alkalineearth (calcium or barium) chloride to obtain chlorides. Alternatively, the ore is heated in a muffle to 700-900‹ C., and moist hydrochloric acid is passed in; or the ore, mixed with alkali or alkaline-earth chloride and pyrites, is heated in a muffle, and air and steam are injected. At 700-900‹ C., chlorides such as zinc chloride distil off and are collected in water acidulated with hydrochloric acid. In anv case, the chloride solutions are treated with oxychloride, which, if the ore is calcareous, may be obtained by calcining the ore and leaching with calcium or sodium chloride solution, the product in the latter case being calcium-sodium oxychloride, which is used similarly.

Abstract: 6674. Beaver, C. J., and Claremont, E. A. May 4. Automatic signals are provided in an electric distribution system, operated in the event of external damage to the cable. A cable provided with a subsidiary conductor c surrounding and insulated from the main condnctors a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, and insulated also from the outer metal covering d by a thin layer of hygroscopic material c<1> as described in Specification 22,355/12, [Class 37, Electricity, Measuring &c.], is employed. A difference of potential is established between the subsidiary conductor and the earthed outer covering by means of a battery, dynamo, or transformer connected through the winding f of a relay, and through the adjustable resistance g, and through the contact-arm j to earth ; or, as shown in Fig. 2, the potential difference is supplied from a tapping from the supply generator b. In the event of leakage from the main conductors to the subsidiary conductor, or in the event of external damage which, by reason of the hygroscopic nature of the insulation c<1>, readily puts the subsidiary conductor in connexion with the outer covering before any leakage from the main conductor has taken place, the resulting current in the winding f draws down the core h<1> and closes a local current circuit n<1>, n<2> which operates main circuit-breakers or gives a signal. The current in the local circuit passes through a maintaining core o. A switch l may be used to short-circuit the solenoid f when cables or other apparatus are switched into the main circuit.
