Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 18,189. Murex Magnetic Co., and Lockwood, A. A. Aug. 11. Surface-tension and like separating processes. -Relates to the separation of ores by means of oil or oil and magnetite. Ores consisting wholly or partly of oxides or carbonates are coated with magnetite to the exclusion of the gangue by means of an oily liquid in the presence of water by adding at some stage a carbonate or silicate of an alkali metal. Magnetite that is wet with water may be incorporated with oil by the addition of the silicate or carbonate; consequently when treating any ore by the oil and magnetite process the wet magnetite may be agitated with the ore and oil without the magnetite and oil having been previously mixed. Oxidized ores mav be treated with oil and the silicate or carbonate without magnetite, and separated bv flotation or otherwise. Specifications 13,208/11 and 25,369/11 are referred to.

Patent GB-191230079-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Operation of Regenerative Furnaces Adapted more especially for the Manufacture of Steel.
Inventor: MACCALLUM NORMAN ERSKINE
IPC: F27B3/26
Filed: 1912-12-31
Granted: 1913-10-09
Abstract: 30,079. Maccallum, N. E. Jan. 16, [Convention date]. Regenerators. - To prevent or remove the accumulation of incombustible deposits, such as iron oxide, within the regenerators of furnaces for the manufacture of steel, the airregenerators are occasionally used as gas-regenerators and the gas-regenerators as airregenerators. A regenerative open-hearth furnace having a system of reversing-valves for carrying out the invention is shown in plan in Fig. 1. The regenerators that are normally used for air are indicated at 14 and those for gas at 15. In order to control the air, gas, and combustion products, two valves 30, 31 are employed. The valve 30, primarily intended as the gasreversing valve, controls four openings 35, 36, 37, 38, connected respectively to the stack 25, the source of gas supply and the outer ends of the gas-regenerators 15 by suitable conduits 39, 40, 41, 42. The valve 31 primarily intended as the air-reversing valve is also provided with four openings 45, 46, 47, 48 connected respectively to the stack 25, the source of air supply, and the outer ends of the airregenerators 14 by suitable conduits 39, 49, 50, 51. The conduit 40 between the gas-reversing valve 30 and the source of gas supply is controlled by a three-way valve 54 having three openings connecting the reversing valve 30 with either the source of gas supply or air supply so that the gas-valve may be used as an air-valve. The valve 54 also permits of closing the conduit 40. Similarly, a three-way valve 59 is provided in the air-conduit 49 so that gas may be supplied to the valve 31 instead of air, or, instead of employing a three-way valve, gas may be supplied directly through gas conduits 55, 56 to the conduits 50, 51 leading to the air-regenerators. By the above-described arrangement of valves, air, combustion products, and gas may be passed through any of the regenerative chambers in succession.

Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 5624. Mistral, P. H., and Broche, A. R. March 12, 1912, [Convention date]. Stroke, varying.-An automatic stroke-varying device for pumps comprises a double-threaded screw C forming part of the pump piston-rod B, which carries two nuts B', E adapted to be drawn together or forced apart by the rotation of the screw C so as to vary the effective length of the piston-rod.. The down-stroke of the piston is effected by a cam F, and the up-stroke by a spring S. The rotation of the screw C is controlled automatically by a piston R subject to the pump delivery pressure in the chamber M and forced downwards by a spring S'. When the pressure rises above a predetermined amount, the piston R rises and lifts the end of a flexible cord X attached at the other end to a disk on the screw C, which is thereby rotated so as to draw the nuts E, B' together. The lower nut B' is prevented from rising above a certain point by a stop D, and lostmotion therefore results between the cam F and the nut E, thus diminishing the stroke of the piston B.

Abstract: 8345. Bentall, E. E., and Bingham, G. C. April 9. Actuating by pulsating fluid pressure; diaphragm pumps.-A diaphragm pump, suitable for supplying liquid fuel to internal-combustion engines is operated by liquidpressure pulsations which are produced by a piston of variable stroke. The diaphragm e, Fig. 1, is held in position by the block f; c, d are the inlet and outlet passages. The plunger h is reciprocated by the tappet n and spring m, the tappet n having a variable stroke as shown in Fig. 3. The part q is reciprocated from some moving part of the engine, and is held up by the spring r, the tension of which is adjustable by moving the lever r'. As the part q strikes the stop s, it is thrown downwards to a distance depending on the speed of the engine, thus striking the part p at a variable distance from o. The pump plunger h is supplied with lubricant from the chamber k.

Pneumatic springs. - Relates to pneumatic springs for vehicles, of the kind in which a diaphragm arranged in a compressed air chamber and supported thereby is acted upon by a plunger, and consists in increasing the surface of the plunger by providing projections or recesses which serve to make the surfaces of the plunger and the casing more nearly equal and therefore prevent the formation of folds on the diaphragm when it rolls off the cylinder on to the plunger. Fig. 1 shows the flexible diaphragm 14 with its edge clamped between the parts 1, 13 of a casing connected with the vehicle frame, and its centre portion bearing upon a plunger 5 guided by a sleeve 4 in the casing 1 and connected with the wheel-axle 9 by a ball-jointed rod 7. The chamber A is connected with a source of air pressure by a pipe 16, a common air reservoir being provided for two or more of the springs. The plunger and casing are of the elongated form shown in cross-section in Fig. 3, grooves 6 being provided in the sides of the plunger for the purpose stated above. In the case of a cylindrical plunger and casing, the grooves may extend over the whole of the periphery of the plunger.
