Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 26,893. Fulton, C. W. Dec. 1. [Cognate Application, 26,894/11.] Passing m a t e r i a l s through fluid - supplying apparatus; winch type.-In an apparatus in which textile materials are subjected to successive variouslytimed treatments with liquids, all the steps of the process are performed continuously and without interruption by the provision of suitable storage receptacles in the plant. In a bleaching-plant, for example, the goods are first cleaned or discharged in a series of U-shaped receptacles A of such capacity that the time occupied in the passage of the goods through them is sufficient for the thorough action of the liquid. Fig. 5 shows an alternative shape for the receptacles A. The goods are then run through a series of washing-machines L, and a ' chemic ' machine Z, and are delivered into a series of storage receptacles g of the requisite time - capacity for the completion of the ' chemic ' action. The goods are subsequently led through one or more washing-machines and an acid machine, and discharged into barrows or the like, or to a beater opener. The liquid is circulated throngh the storage receptacles A by pumps F which force the liquid from tanks D through pipes G to devices H for spraying the goods as they enter the receptacles. The liquid returns to the tank D by an outlet B in the other limb of the receptacle. The tanks D are connected by pipes O, the liquid being passed from tank to tank from P to Q. Heating-coils D' may be provided in the tanks. The goods are passed round the guide-rolls I in the tank, between the pressure rolls J, back around the rolls I, again between the rolls J, and thence through a reciprocating guide member K, and into the first receptacle, whence they may be led by way of guide-rolls C<2> to a second tank, and so on. The washing-machine L is divided by a series of partitions S, and is fitted with a sloping false back R, Fig. 3, behind which a steam-pipe T may be arranged to direct a jet against the goods lying on the back R to assist their sliding motion and to heat the liquid. The goods pass over two drums U, and fall into the first compartment, emerging through guide-fingers V to fall into the next compartment, and so on to the last compartment, the washing being effected on the counter-current principle. At the delivery and entry ends of the washing-machine the drum U may be cone-shaped, co-operating with a nipping-roller a, the goods passing between a pair of fingers b on a bar c, which is adjustably connected to a notched fixture C<2> so as to vary the speed of entry and exit of the goods.

Title: Improvements relating to the Fixation of Nitrogen.
Inventor: BUCHER JOHN EMERY
IPC: C01C3/00
Filed: 1912-12-02
Granted: 1914-03-02
Abstract: 27,713. Bucher, J. E. Dec. 2. Alkali and other cyanides. - In the fixation of nitrogen as cyanogen compounds by means of carbon and an alkali or other applicable metal or compound thereof under the influence of a catalyser such as iron, the working conditions are arranged so as to secure the formation and maintenance of a largely extended carbon-dissolving surface of the catalyst, adequately supplied with carbon and freely accessible to the other reagents, the reaction being carried out below the eutectic point of the carbon-dissolving catalyser. For this purpose, the iron used as catalyser should be finely divided and of not less than 60 mesh, although it is preferred to use the iron as finely divided as possible. The carbon, when used in solid form, should also be finely divided, but not in such a fine state of division as the iron. Other features to be considered are the intimacy of the mixture; the effect of the absolute size of the particles of the mass and of drainage facilities for fused alkali within the interstices of the mass upon the openness of texture of the porous mass; the effect upon segregation within the mass of the relative size of the solid ingredients, of their regularity of form, of their adhesion at the working temperature, of the depth and position of the reactive mixture, of the motion of fused alkali compounds under the influence of capillarity and surface tension, and of vaporization of carbon and alkali metal. The process is described as carried out in a tube arranged to project through a muffle furnace, and when air is used as the source of the nitrogen, a suitable arrangement of materials is shown in Fig. 4, in which the masses 7 of charcoal or other suitable oxygenconsuming material are arranged in front of and separated from the reaction mixture 9 by screens 8. Specifications 1004/80, 5617/81, and 1695/08 are referred to.

Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 588. Carpmael, R. H. Jan. 8. [Cognate Application, 4376/13.] Locking.-In the fuel-supply pipe for a motor-vehicle a valve-locking device operated by a key prevents the flow of fuel from the fuel tank when necessary. Fuel flows from the tank a through the passages b, c unless stopped by the valve d carried by the diaphragm e and pressed on to its seat by a spring f. The valve and locking-device are contained in a recess formed in a casing 1 closed by a cover 6, connected by pins 9 to a plate 7. The cover and plate 7 are movable in and out to close or open the valve, and can be locked in their inner position by means of two eccentrics 10, 11 rotatable independently of one another, and movable in and out with the cover 6. Each eccentric is provided with square or similar recesses at an angle with one another, these recesses being engaged by similar superposed squares or projections on the key shown in Fig. 3. The eccentrics, when in their outer position, fit in eccentric holes in fixed plates 2, 3, and when in their inner position, can turn in circular holes concentric with the axis of the key, and thus lock the valve in its closed position. Each of the plates 2, 3 is formed with eccentric holes for half its depth and with circular holes for the remaining half. When opening the valve, the key is partly inserted, so that one square engages its corresponding eccentric and is turned until the other square can be engaged; both eccentrics are then turned until they coincide with the eccentric holes, whereupon they can be moved outwards to unlock the valve.

Abstract: 11,913. Avery, W. & T., and Parnall, T. St. J. B. May 22. Automatic - feed weighers. - In a weighing- apparatus wherein a weigh-beam 3 moves proportionately to the varying load carried on a continuous conveyer, the weigh - beam 3 is gripped at intervals between plates 13, 14, and a slide 28 with inclined edge 28<a> is moved into contact with the weigh-beam under the influence of a weight 30, this movement being transmitted by arms 33, 34 to a weight integrator 40. A shaft 16 driven from the conveyer rocks a spring- influenced lever 21 coupled to the gripping-plate 14, and also reciprocates a link 25 coupled by a pin-and-slot connexion with the slide 28. The arrangement is such that, after the weigh-beam has been gripped by the plate 14, the weight 30 draws the inclined edge 28<a> against the weighbeam and a corresponding movement is given to the arm 34 bv the arm 33, which moves in unison with the weight 30 and slide 28. The arm 34 transmits its movement by means of a chain 37 to the integrator 40. The continued rotation of the shaft 16 withdraws the gripping- plate 14 and returns the slide 28, the arm 34 being returned to a stop 44 by means of a weight 43. The loads on the conveyer are balanced by means of a plunger 8, Fig. 7, carried on the end of the weigh - beam and dipping into a mercury-container 11 in known manner. The movement of the plunger is steadied by means of weights 55 suspended from the plunger cover by means of rods 52.
