Title: Apparatus for Filling Vessels with Milk or the like, and for subsequently Applying Lids to such Vessels.
Inventor: TAYLOR ELMER ZEBLEY
IPC: B67C7/00
Filed: 1909-02-03
Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 2560. Taylor, E. Z. Feb. 3. Feeding sheets &c. - In a machine for filling vessels with liquid and closing them with paper disks, the disks 30, Fig. 8, are stored in receptacles 32 mounted on a support 33 pivoted at 34, Fig. 1. The bottoms of the receptacles are cut away at 36 so that the lowermost disks can be pushed out in one direction by catches 40 adjacent to openings 39 in a plate 38 which is carried in a frame 37 adapted to be rotated about the central shaft. The catches push the disks into the openings 39, and when the movement of the frame 37 is reversed to carry the disks to the closing-devices, the support 33 is tripped by a cam 43 engaging a tumbler 44, so preventing the catches from engaging the disks.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Gas Stoves.
Inventor: KUENKLER ALBERT
IPC: F24C3/08
Filed: 1909-02-06
Granted: 1910-03-07
Abstract: 2919. Kunkler, A. Feb. 6. Gas burners.-A gas burner for stoves consists of a series of gas-emitting tubes or the like spaced apart so as to leave between them narrow slots through which sheets of air pass to the sheets of flame. The gas stove shown in Figs. 1 and 3 comprises a casing a with a door n, upon which is mounted a tubular burner d, to which air enters through the aperture n<1>. The burner d consists of a row of tubes s, each with a narrow slit in its upper surface, set in a box-like frame k so that the slits between adjacent tubes and between the end tubes and the frame k form the only means for the passage of air into the stove. There is thus produced a series of sheets of air and gas which are formed into a homogeneous flame by the back and lateral pressure of the combustion products inside the stove. Fig. 5 shows a similar burner made up of a ring k and plates e, f above gas chambers g, between which are the air inlets h. Fig. 7 shows a sectional burner made up of gas chambers r, air passages k, and a cap q, and Fig. 9 shows a similar burner made up of circularly bent and slit gas tubes s arranged vertically with air spaces h between them.

Title: Improved Process of and Apparatus for Concentrating Nitric Acid.
IPC: C01B21/44
Filed: 1909-05-04
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 10,592. Aktiebolaget Swedish Nitric Syndicate. May 6,1908, [Convention date]. Acids, concentrating and distilling.-A process for concentrating nitric acid comprises three steps, namely, the concentration of weak acid to about 60 per cent by direct contact with hot gases, the mixture of the product with concentrated sulphuric acid and the distillation of the nitric acid from the mixture, and the concentration of the dilute sulphuric acid for re-use, the three operations being effected by the heat of the same body of gases. The gases obtained by the oxidation of air in an electric arc are especially suitable for this purpose. The apparatus comprises towers T for the concentration of the weak nitric acid, an externally-heated pipe a for the distillation of the sulphuric acid mixture, and pans P for the concentration of the sulphuric acid, and is arranged so that hot gases entering by a channel k pass in succession below the pans P around the pipes a, and through the towers T. The waste acids resulting from the manufacture of explosives, with or without admixture with concentrated sulphuric or weak nitric acid, can be recovered by passing them into the tube a. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also (1) an arrangement in which the towers Tare in parallel as well as in series, and (2) the use of towers through which pass currents of hot gases for the concentration of the sulphuric acid. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Gas Controllers or Regulators.

Filed: 1909-06-26
Granted: 1910-06-27
Abstract: 14,973. Blake, E. W. June 26. Actuating valves and cocks. - In apparatus for lighting and extinguishing gas by temporary increases of pressure in the mains in which the gas is the motor element, means are described whereby the increase of pressure required for extinguishing is less than that for lighting. A bell c with liquid seal has a curved neck d on which rest balls f. On an increase of pressure in the main g, the bell c rises, the balls f roll into a channel e on the casing a, and the gas cock is opened by the rotation of a ratchet wheel n. When the cock is open, a projection r<1>, Fig. 3, on a plate on the cock is brought beneath a projection r<2> on a rod on the bell c, so that the bell cannot fall, however much the pressure may fall. On a small increase of pressure, the unloaded bell rises, turns the cock, and allows the bell to fall and the weights to be replaced. Other forms of weight may be employed. In a modification, the bell operates a lift valve, the gas in this case being turned on by an increase of pressure, and off by a decrease of pressure.

Title: Method of and Apparatus for Driving Low Pressure Steam Plants with Slightly Variable Consumption of Steam.
Inventor: BROUGHAM FREDERICK JOHN
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1909-07-27
Granted: 1910-07-27
Abstract: 17,475. Brougham, F. J., [Akt.-Ges. der Maschinenfabriken Escher, Wyss, & Co.]. July 27. Plant.-In a low-pressure steam plant such as a steam heating-plant, in which the steam is first passed through a turbine, the speed governor of the turbine controls the turbine exhaust to maintain a practically constant supply of steam for heating although variable amounts of power are taken from the turbine. The inlet and a by-pass supply pipe may also be controlled simultaneously by the governor. Steam, supplied through a pipe c, passes through a turbine a into the exhaust pipe e, and to the heating-plant through a pipe o. If the load on the turbine falls, the consequent increase of speed causes the governor f to move, through a rod h, a baffle or throttling-device i in the exhaust to increase the back pressure. The baffle i never closes the pipe i completely. If the load is further reduced after the baffle i is operated, the governor f operates a throttle valve l in the inlet, which gradually shuts off steam from the turbine, and, to maintain the steam supply to the heating-plant in these circumstances, simultaneously opens a throttle valve n in a by-pass pipe m. The valve n may alternatively be operated by hand or by an auxiliary motor operated by the back pressure of the turbine. If a smaller quantity of heating- steam is used during a long period of time, a number of inlet devices may be shut off in the turbine. The actuation of the throttle devices operated by the governor f may be direct, or by auxiliary motors, or electrically, or in any other way.

The sockets may be dispensed with, and the eyes may be secured to bearing-surfaces provided on the ends of the pipes to be coupled.

Abstract: 27,767. Hemmer Ges., L. P., and Hemmer, J. Nov. 29. Circulating or passing materials through vats and the like.-In a washing-machine, in which the fabric is drawn through the liquid over the perforated cover of a casing provided with suction and pressure means for circulating the treating-liquid through the travelling fabric, the shannels connecting the suction and pressure device with the perforated cover are adjustable in cross-sectional area, so that the liquid moves through the fabric with the same velocity at all points. The casing 12 reaches through the whole length of the treating-vat 7, and is subdivided by intermediate walls 15 into channels 16, which decrease in cross-sectional area successively from the bottom upwards. The lower ends of the channels 16 are connected with a chamber 17, of which the outer wall 18 consists of a membrane that is moved to-and-fro by crank gear 20, 19; this action causes the liquid to be alternately sucked through the fabric 6 and perforated cover 11 and forced through the cover and fabric. Each channel 16 is provided with a screw, of a diameter approximately corresponding with the depth of the channel, which can be secured in any desired position by means of a counter-nut and so provide a means of regulating the velocity of the liquid flowing through the channel.
