Title: An Improved Process for Manufacturing Steel from Chromiferous Pig Iron.
Inventor: CARNEY FRANK DELBERT
Filed: 1908-07-29
Granted: 1908-11-05
Abstract: 16,093. Carney, F. D. Aug. 28, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Basic Bessemer and open - hearth processes.- Chromium is removed from chromiferous pig-iron by treatment in a converter at a temperature sufficiently low to prevent the reduction of the oxidized chromium and its re-entry into the charge. The temperature is prevented from becoming excessively high by putting in the converter, preferably before charging in the molten pig, cold steel scrap or pigiron and using a blast containing water vapour. The converter lining may be acid or basic, and the charge is further treated in an open-hearth furnace, the lining of which is conversely basic or acid. The further treatment consists of the addition of pigiron to carburize the charge and to produce the usual "boil," and, if the content is to exceed À3 per cent, a final addition of molten pig-iron, free from chromium, with or without ferro-manganese is made. The final product may consist of a steel containing À24 per cent of chromium and À92 per cent of manganese.

Granted: 1908-12-02
Abstract: 20,772. Thomas, B., and Thomas, E. Oct. 2. Switches.-A relay, for the purpose of making circuit in connexion with accumulator regulators and voltage regulators, consists of a pivoted twoway contact bar 8 attached to a solenoid core 2, and an opposing spring 34, adjustment being made so that, with a given variation of current in the solenoid, the contact 14 moves over from one of the fixed contacts 16, 17 to the other. The contacts are of carbon. Attached to the contact bar are two armatures 27, 28 co-operating with two electro-magnets 25, 26 in such a manner that, as the contact 14 touches the contact 17, a circuit is completed through the electro-magnet 26, and the armature 28 is brought close up to it, thus firmly holding the contacts together. The contacts are maintained closed until the circuit has been broken elsewhere in the system! When the contact 16 is touched, the electro-magnet. 25 and armature 27 exert a similar hold-on effect. The armatures 27, 28 are preferably provided with pieces of non- magnetic material at the points where they are attracted. To adjust the sensitiveness, the attachment of the contact bar to the solenoid core can be made at different pivoting holes 29, 31, so as to set the core at different heights ; the spring 34 can be altered in tension by securing its end in different holes in a lug 37 ; a weight 12 can also be shifted along the bar. As a modification, the pole-piece of one of the retaining-magnets may form one of the fixed contacts, the contact 14 being then of magnetic material. The solenoid may be wound with two coils of thick and thin wire. The relay may be used to put in action a step-by-step ratchet controlling-switch. Tappings from the coils of the relay, resistances, and other known means may be used to vary the ampere turns.

Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 3603. Roberts, H. Feb. 13. Galvanizing and coating by dipping.-Wire fencing, network, &c., to be coated with zinc, is first drawn through a bath 5, Fig. 1, containing broken stone or gravel immersed in acid, and then through a heating-chamber 6 to dry it. To prevent the wire fabric from being burnt during any temporary stoppages of the travel thereof, a shield 9, normally outside the heating-chamber 6, and through which the fabric passes, is adapted to be run into the furnace during the stoppage, and so protect the fabric from the heat. The fabric, after passing through the coating-bath 14, passes up through a box 17, Fig. 3, containing mineral wool, asbestos cement, &c., which is forced against the fabric to remove surplus metal by endless carriers 23 travelling in a direction opposite to the fabric. Before the fabric enters the wiping-box it is vibrated by a reciprocating bar 37 to shake off the surplus metal from the joints or knots of the fabric. After leaving the wiping-box, the fabric is cooled by water from a pipe 39, and then passes through rolls 20 which are provided with grooves to receive the wire of the fabric. The rolls draw the fabric through the apparatus, and may be made in sections which may be assembled to suit fabrics with different distances between the wires. The reels 21 upon which the fabric is wound are driven at gradually decreasing speed, as the size of the roll of fabric increases, by means of cone pulleys 52. Instead of endless carriers, a roll 2<1>, Fig. 12, surfaced with asbestos 7<1> which is held in recesses 6<1> in the periphery of the roll, and against which the fabric is forced by a spring- pressed roll, may be employed. The winding-reel 21, Fig. 13, has a groove containing pins over which the fabric is hooked, and is held between a fixed bearing 21<2> at one end and a spring-pressed bearing at the other. The endless carriers, which may consist of endless aprons or a series of chains, may be arranged approximately vertically as shown ; or, when the fabric passes through the wiping-box in an inclined direction, the carriers may be similarly inclined.
