Inventor: BERGSOEE PAUL
IPC: C22B25/00
Filed: 1912-09-18
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 21,223. Bergs÷e, P. Sept. 18. Liquating; alloys.-Tin is recovered from alloys or crude metal in which the other metals are present in smaller quantities than those required to form the eutectic alloy with tin by a systematic fractional crystallization of the tin. The alloys or crude metal used may contain about 5 per cent of lead, or traces of copper with or without traces of antimony, arsenic, or bismuth. The tin crystals are baled out from the cooling molten alloy as long as they continue to form, and are divided into a number of equal fractions. Further charges are similarly treated, and the respective fractions are joined and separately melted for recrystallization in a similar manner. Some impurities, such as iron, may be removed by liquation before commencing crystallization.

Abstract: 23,376. Variable Speed Gear, Ltd., Wilson, A., and Robson, J. Oct. 12. Boat raising and lowering gear. - Cranes A mounted on turntables lower from either side of the ship boats which are arranged on the deck in one or more concentric arcs b, b<1> struck from the centre of each crane. The luffing-gear is automatically controlled to bring the jib of the crane to rest in a position over the line of boats. Hydraulic transmission gear is provided comprising a motor B supplied from a pump unit and driving a pinion B', which luffs the jib and also drives through suitable gearing one member D of a clutch. A worm-wheel C, also driven from the motor, has on one face a cam-groove C' with which engages a pin C<2> on a lever c<2>, which is connected up through a shaft C<3> with the other member D<2> of the clutch splined on a control shaft E. In operating the gear, the motor B raises the jib from an horizontal position until it is over the outer line of boats, whereupon the pin on the lever c<2> enters a depression c' in the cam groove, thus closing the clutch D and causing the shaft E to revolve and cut off the supply of motive fluid. The shaft E is unlocked when the pin comes out of the depression, and can be turned by hand when the supply of motive fluid is required to luff the crane to handle the inner ring of boats. Specification 23,369/12, [Class 75 (v), Winding and paying-out apparatus &c.], is referred to.
Patent GB-191229676-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Sheet-conveying Mechanism of Platen Printing Presses
IPC: B41F1/28
Filed: 1912-12-24
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 29,676. Walte, F., and Waite & Saville. Dec. 24. Platen machines.-In a platen press of the kind in which the sheets are fed by grippers and are delivered by a reciprocating tympan, the tympan is secured at its front end to chains reciprocated in unison with the motion of the oscillating or reciprocating grippers which feed the sheets to the platen and assist in the delivery of the same. The tympan is arranged in such a manner that destructive bending action is lessened; also, a sheet guide for directing the sheet to delivery bands is arranged below the feed table. As shown in Fig. 2, the machine is in the position in which the sheet is being taken by grippers 12 on oscillating arms 11, and from this position the grippers move over the face of a platen 1 and occupy a position at the bottom of the platen while printing takes place. Simultaneously with the movement of the grippers 12, a tympan 7 carried by two chains 6 moving over sprockets 2, 3, 4, 5 is moved by a quadrant on one of the arms 11 which gears with the wheel 5, from the position shown in Fig. 2 to that shown in Fig. 4, so that the tympan 7 is in position to support the sheet during impression. The grippers 12 and tympan 7 recede together to deliver the sheet, and, when the grippers 12 open, the tympan 7 alone forwards the sheet, which is directed by a guide 18 arranged below the feed board 17 to delivery bands or tapes 19 which complete the delivery. The front end of tympan 7 is connected by a bar 7<Î> to hooks 6<Î> fixed on the chains 6, and the rear end of the tympan is provided with a bar 7<y> secured by springs 7<z> to the chains so as to keep the tympan taut. As shown in Fig. 4, the rear end of the tympan is secured to a roller 13 loose on the shaft 3<Î> of sprocket-wheel 3, and connected to the shaft by a spring 21 which keeps the tympan taut, and is adapted to compensate for the changing diameter of the roller 13 as the tympan winds upon and unwinds from the roller 13. The roller 13 may be fixed to its shaft and the tympan 7 connected to it in an elastic manner. The shafts of the wheels 3, 4, 5 are fitted with rollers 14, 15, 16 which support the tympan while passing the angular parts of the track of the chain 6, these rollers being grooved to allow the springs 7<y> to pass.

Abstract: 957. Wadagaki, Y. Jan. 13. Feed-water, heating.- Exhaust steam from engines is led by a pipe 7 into a casing 4, whence part of it passes to and drives a turbine 9. A multi - stage centrifugal fan 19 on the turbine shaft compresses and partly condenses the remainder of the steam with the aid of condenser water supplied by a pipe 20, and allowed to trickle through the compressor. The water-supply valve is controlled by a speed governor on the turbine shaft. The steam and heated water from the compressor pass into the receptacle 28, whence both may pass into the boiler, or water only may be forced into the boiler. Specification 28,224/08, [Class 122, Steam engines], is referred to.
