Title: A New or Improved Process for the Preparation of Common Salt for Domestic and other use.
Inventor: HOLLOWAY GEORGE THOMAS
Filed: 1905-08-10
Granted: 1906-06-21
Abstract: 16,279. Holloway, G. T. Aug. 10. Condiments.-A non-caking preparation of common salt for domestic and other use is made by coating the salt granules with powdered sodium carbonate so that only a surface action takes place between the sodium carbonate and the deliquescent calcium or magnesium salts. The salt is ground or rubbed down and passed through a moderately fine sieve and then through a finer sieve, the granules which do not pass through the second sieve being selected ; they are then agitated without grinding with a small proportion of the finelypowdered carbonate or bicarbonate. In some cases the carbonate is first mixed with some of the finest salt particles, and the mixture is then added to the coarser salt.

Abstract: 13,662. Heap, W. B. June 14. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Roofing-tiles.-Fig. 3 shows several tiles arranged for packing, with their under surfaces uppermost. The upper edge of the tile is provided with a ridge a and hanging-ribs b, the latter projecting slightly beyond the edge c of the tile. The nailholes are in the form of a keyhole slot, as shown in Fig. 6, the portion e being larger than the nail heads, so that the tiles may be removed or replaced without disturbing the nails. In order to prevent the entry of water, the nail-holes are surrounded by a ridge f, which, when the tiles are assembled for packing, engages a corresponding recess h on the underside of the adjacent tile. The tiles are arranged to break joint and may be provided with two nail-holes near the upper edge or with a single central nail-hole near the upper edge and with a half-hole at the centre of each side edge. The upper surface of the tiles is cross-cambered at the lower end, as shown at g, Fig. 4, which is a crosssection on the line x<1>, Fig. 3, so that water is directed to the lower corners of the tiles and thence.on to the middle of the tiles below. The other end of the tile is correspondingly recessed, as shown at i, to facilitate packing.

Inventor: TULLY CORNELIUS BRITTIFFEE
Filed: 1907-05-03
Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 10,346. Tully, C. B. May 3. Producers; scrubbers; mixing gases.-In a producer, adapted for the generation of producer gas, water gas, coal-gas, or mixtures of these gases, and provided with one or more vertical retorts b surrounded by a chequerwork jacket d; the gases are withdrawn from different parts of the producer by means of steam-jet exhausters. When making coal-gas, a water-jacketed steam jet f withdraws the products from the combustion chamber a through the jacket. When making producer gas, the combustion products may be partly or entirely drawn through the retort b and scrubber n by means of a second steam jet t. For water gas, steam is supplied from a pipe v below the grate i, and for carburetted gas tar or other hydrocarbon is also injected into the combustion chamber. The operating-lever for the exhauster f simultaneously controls the stack valve e, the primary and secondary air valves x, x<1>, and the steam and oil valves g<1>, w, which are connected by a rod y; the steam jet t is operated by a hand-valve t<1>. The scrubber consists of a number of compartments o containing coke with a water reservoir r at the top; the gas enters by a sealed pipe s, flows down a central tube q, and then ascends through the coke.

Title: Variable Speed Driving Mechanism, especially applicable to Motor Cars.
Inventor: TALBOT WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1907-06-19
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 14,129. Talbot, W. H. June 19. Hydraulic transmission of power.-An hydraulic variable-speed gearing specially applicable to motor-cars is constructed by fitting an oil chamber on the driving-shaft and cylindrical crank members on the driven shaft. Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section, and Fig. 2 a transverse sectional view of the gear. The driving-shaft a<5> carries an oil chamber a divided into two parts a<3>, a<4> by a mid - plate a<2>. Concentric with the driving-shaft is a tubular driven shaft c extending through both chambers a<3>, a<4>, and carrying a part d upon which is slidably mounted a drum e. A ring f is mounted on the drum e and may rotate thereon, being secured to the chamber a by a pivoted vane link h. A spindle m arranged within the shaft c is secured to the drum e by links d<2>, d<3>, so that a partial rotation of the spindle moves the drum e and ring f until the latter is in contact with the wall of the chamber a. The passage of liquid from one side of the vane h to the other as the shaft a<5> rotates is thus prevented, and a solid drive results. The apparatus in the chamber a<3> is duplicated in the chamber a<4> to remove the fluctuation of drive due to dead-points. The partial rotation of the spindle m is obtained by a pin m<4> working in curved and straight slots, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4.

Title: Improvements in Surface Condensers for Steam Engines.
Inventor: THOMAS PERCY
Filed: 1907-07-02
Granted: 1908-04-16
Abstract: 15,186. Thomas, P. July 2. Condensers are made in two divisions, one serving to condense the steam and the other to cool the air and non-condensible gases that enter the condenser with the steam. The cooling-water enters the upper header k, passes through the tubes j in the upper chamber i of the condenser to the header l connected to the upper and lower chambers, thence flows through the tubes in the lower chamber, and is finally withdrawn through the outlet e in the header at the further end of this chamber. The steam entering at an inlet b passes between the tubes in the opposite direction to that taken by the water. Baffles m, m cause it to take a zigzag path as it travels through the condenser. The greater portion of the steam is condensed in the lower chamber and is withdrawn through the outlet o. The remaining steam and non-condensible gases pass through the opening p into the upper chamber, where the last traces of steam are condensed and the other gases are cooled to a temperature approximately equal to that of the incoming water. These gases then escape through the outlet c. The tubes in the upper chamber are preferably fewer in number and smaller in diameter than those in the lower in order to cause a more rapid flow of water through this chamber. The steam-inlet opening is made the full depth of the lower division of the condenser, thus keeping the uppermost and lowest tubes of this chamber at the same temperature. The two chambers may be separate or enclosed within one casing.
