Granted: 1900-05-05
Abstract: 1892. Haddan, H. J., [Clark, A. G.]. Jan. 30. Metals, extracting; gold; silver; zinc.-Relates to the extraction of gold, silver, and other precious metals from zinciferous ores containing iron. The ore is first roasted to remove sulphur, if present, and is then treated in special retorts which are described in Specifications Nos. 1893 and 1894, A.D. 1900. These retorts have a basic lining which is not destroyed by the iron in the ore. The zinc is distilled off, and the residue is treated for the recovery of the metals it contains by any suitable process.

Granted: 1900-04-07
Abstract: 3777. Boult, A. J., [Christensen, N. A.]. Feb. 27. Brakes, s, pneumatic. Relates to engineer's valves. Figs. 1 and 2 show vertical crosssections at right-angles to each other, Fig. 3 a plan. Fig. 4 a sectional plan showing the valve seat with the valve removed, and Fig. 6 an inverted plan of the valve. The valve case is made in three sections A, B, C. The lower section A has a pipe D from the main reservoir and a pipe E to the train-pipe. The middle section B forms the valve seat, and has a supply port b, a train-pipe port b<1>, and an exhaust port b<2>. The supply port b is connected by a passage b<3>, Fig. 4, with the port b<1>, leading to the train-pipe E. The exhaust port b<2> communicates with the atmosphere, as shown in Fig. 2, and has a graduating-groove b<4>, Fig. 4, for "service" application of the brakes. The main valve H has a hollow stem h, and a port h<1> corresponding to the port b in the valve seat. It has also a cavity h<2> on its underside to connect the train-pipe port b<1> and exhaust port b<2>. The stem h of the main valve carries the non - return valve I, which is closed by the spring i<1> and is opened by the piston L which under the pressure of the spring N acts on the stem i of the valve I and keeps the valve open so long as the pressure in the train-pipe is less than that to which the spring N is set, but which rises and allows the valve I to close as soon as the desired pressure in the train-pipe has been attained. The main valve H is rotated by the stem J and handle K, the latter being provided with a spring catch k for retaining it in each of the four positions of "running," "lap," "service," and "emergency" shown in Fig. 3.

Abstract: 27,089. Rosenberger, J. Dec. 9 Sewing-machines, driving.-Relates to means of the type described in Specification No. 9981, A.D. 1899, for simultaneously operating the brake mechanism of the starting-rheostat of the motor of an electrically-driven sewing or other machine. The rheostat arm 23, Fig. 2, is connected through an adjustable rod 20, Figs. 1 and 2, and a cranked lever 10 to the adjustable treadle-rod 16, so that it is moved over the contacts 24 to cut out the resistance when the treadle 5 is depressed A strong spring 18 is provided to draw the arm 23 back when the foot is raised from the treadle. The spring 18 is also connected by a hooked rod 28 to a spindle, an arm on which acts to depress a spring-controlled lever frame and so to depress a brake block on to the driving-pulley 39 of the motor 3 and machine 2 when the spring 18 returns the arm 23. The motor circuit is completed only when the arm 23 is in contact with a spring-controlled contact-rod 25 working through a fixed bearing 26. As these parts separate and come in contact while the arm 23 is on the rheostat contacts, sparking at the rheostat contacts is prevented. The treadle is adjustable with its supports 4 along the bottom frame 6 of the machine, and is mounted on pivots 7 which are adjustable across the machine on the transverse supports 4. A similarly-adjustable stop 12 limits the motion of the treadle, and, together with the adjustable rods 16, 20, limits the motion of the arm 23 in order to vary the maximum speed of the machine.
