Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Nitric Acid.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
IPC: C01B21/26
Filed: 1911-07-10
Granted: 1912-07-10
Abstract: 15,948. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. July 10. Nitric acid.-Concentrated nitric acid is prepared by enriching dilute nitric acid prepared in the usual way with nitric peroxide in the form of vapour, gas, or liquid, and then treating this mixture with oxygen in the proper proportions or in a small excess thereof. When the nitric peroxide is added in the form of vapour, it is best introduced with the aid of a current of oxygen. The process is carried out under atmospheric pressure, and the various stages, as also the production of dilute acid from water, nitric peroxide, and air or oxygen, is effected in trickling-towers, or in vessels in which, by means of spraying-nozzles, agitators, or other devices, the acid is brought into intimate contact with the oxygen. Any non- oxidized nitrogen compounds are expelled from the acid by oxygen introduced alone at the end of the reacting system, and the gases so obtained are returned to the process.

Title: Improvements in Potato Diggers.
Inventor: FLECK ROBERT
IPC: A01D33/02
Filed: 1912-04-26
Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 9899. Fleck, R. April 26. Potato diggers.-The haulms are cut off by a series of knives 1, located behind the driving-wheel A and in advance of the digging-mechanism, and radially or targentially disposed on a rotary horizontal driving-shaft 4 arranged longitudinally of the machine. The outer extremities 7 of the knives are bent so as to be axially disposed with respect to the shaft 4, and the edges 8 may be serrated. The blades are carried by a boss 3 loosely mounted on the shaft 4 and driven from a pinion therein through a train of wheels at a greater speed than, and in the same direction as, the shaft 4. The haulms are lifted and gathered together by two guides 18, 19 hinged at 20, 21, so as to be raised or lowered according to the formation of the ground, and the guides are raised and lowered synchronously with the digging-mechanism by ropes 22 attached to the guides and to projections 25 on the machine and passing over pulley 23 mounted on the hinged shaft pole 24. The guides are laterally stayed by bars 26 having slotted connexion with the projections 25. The guides are preferably fitted to a guard 29 at the back of the blades which are enclosed at the top by a guard 9 ; other guards 30, 31, 32 are arranged so that there is just room for the blade to pass and thus prevent the haulms from being carried upwards and choking the apparatus. One of the driving-wheels is adjustably secured to a sleeve on the axle so as to allow of the digger being used in drills of varying widths.

Title: Improvements in the Production of Sulphur and Sulphates from Polythionate Solutions.
Inventor: FELD WALTHER
IPC: C10K1/10
Filed: 1912-04-29
Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 10,147. Feld, W. March 7, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Sulphur.-In a process in which a polythionate solution is alternately treated with ammonia, sulphuretted hydrogen, or both (referred to as " reducing-agents ") and with sulphurous acid, and is finally treated for the production of a sulphate and sulphur, such as that described in Specification 5838/11, only so much sulphurous acid is used as will convert a part only of the thiosulphate into polythionate, leaving an excess of thiosulphate which retards the production of sulphate in the washing. The sulphurous acid may be allowed to be in contact with the liquor for a short time only, so that some remains free in the liquor, its amount however being not enough to destroy all the thiosulphate, and further thiosulphate liquor may be added to combine with it. The countercurrent apparatus used preferably comprises several superposed or juxtaposed chambers in which the liquor which enters at the top is maintained by a siphon tube at a, constant level, 'the greatest formation of polythionate taking place in the first or lowest chamber. Free sulphur should be maintained in the liquor throughout the whole series of operations, a part being removed from time to time as it accumulates. In an example, crude coal gas at or about its dew point is treated with the liquor, ammonia being chiefly absorbed; the gas is then cooled and again treated with the liquor to remove the sulphuretted hydrogen. The cooling is effected by a counter-current of water, which is subsequently re-cooled by a counter-current of air, further heat being supplied if necessary during the re-cooling to evaporate thewater condensed from the gas. The gas may be finally purified by iron oxide. In another example, the gas is cooled and treated with the liquor to remove both ammonia and sulphuretted hydrogen. A part of the condensate formed in the cooling, including the part containing the fixed ammonia, is used to dilute the washing liquor, the rest being distilled with lime and the vapours, cooled if desired, returned to the gas or passed into the liquor. The whole or a part of the liquor when sufficiently concentrated, is treated with sulphurous acid at a low temperature until it contains from one-third to two-thirds of polythionate, the remainder being thiosulphate. It is then heated without further introduction of sulphurous acid, neutral sulphate being produced from the polythionate and thiosulphate, with the liberation of sulphur.

In a modified construction in which an exposure slit is adjusted separately from the shutter spring, the apparatus is divided into two parts. An adjustable panel m, Fig. 2, with the plate-speed section i controls the slit, and is used with the date panel which is fixed. The pointer a controlling the shutter spring is used with the adjustable panel c and the panel f having the light conditions h, and which is fixed.

Abstract: 6117. Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co., Remington, A. A., and Rowledge, A. J. March 12. [Cognate Application, 12,930/13.] Axles and axle structures.-The differential gear is driven through double - reduction gearing from an horizontal propeller shaft which is situated above an horizontal torque-and-thrust member arranged at the level of the axle. The dead axle A is enlarged at its centre to form a ring A<1>, to which a casing C, made in two parts divided in a longitudinal vertical plane, is bolted at c. This casing carries the rear end of the propeller shaft G, and also a transverse shaft E, driven through bevel-gearing and having a spur-pinion e' which drives a spurwheel d enclosing the differential gear. The spur-wheel is supported between side plates d<2>, which are carried by bearings c<2> in the casing C, the caps c<3> of these bearings being removable rearwards after a cover-plate C' has been removed, so that, if the live axles Hare withdrawn from the sun-pinions of the gear, the spur-wheel and the differential gear can be removed bodily. The torque-member K, which is universally jointed at its front end to the frame, is formed of sheet metal pressed to channel-section and is forked towards the rear end, the ends of the forks being bolted to short castings K<2>, which are bolted at K to the casing C. Thus, when the bolts at c and k are taken out, and the differential gear has been removed, the casing C can be removed with its gearing, and the casing being in two parts enables the gearing to be readily dismantled.
