Abstract: 8787. Stacey, H. J., and Macintosh, A. B. May 29. [Cognate Application, 21,360/12.] Stencilling-apparatus.-Stencil printing-apparatus of the type comprising a hinged stencil frame and a flat platen is provided with guides for facilitating the mounting of the stencil and backing sheet on the frame, and an improved spring control of the hinged frame. The stencil frame b, Figs. 1 and 6, hinged at b<1> is recessed to receive a frame b<3> covered with a silk diaphragm and retained by turn-buckles b<6>. The backing-sheet d and stencil sheet c are placed on the platen a', which is let into the frame a, and registered against stops a<2> arranged at the rear and, if desired, at the one side of the platen. The hinged frame b is then closed, and needles b<7> thereon penetrate the stencil c and the backing d at its folded edge, and by applying the inking-roller the stencil is caused to adhere to the diaphragm so that after opening the frame the backing can be removed along the perforations d'. A hinged flap b<15> on the base a engages a pin b<14> on the frame to hold the frame closed. The stops a<2> may be hinged to turn down after use, or constructed as pins mounted on an L-shaped bar i, Fig. 14, which is connected by parallel links i<1> to a bar j adapted to be moved longitudinally in guides by a finger j<1> so as to raise or lower the pins in perforations on the platen frame. In some cases, fixed pins may be used and recesses provided in the stencil frame. The stencil frame may be raised by a spring b<9> as usual, and to avoid shock a spring b<10> is arranged to check the opening, or instead of, or in addition thereto, helical springs are arranged on the pivots b' between the frame and adjustable milled nuts. In modifications, helical springs b<9>, Fig. 10, on the pivots b<1> may be so connected with the milled nuts b<11> and the frame' b<2> as to render the lifting and buffer springs b<5> and b<10> unnecessary.

Abstract: 22,745. Hybinette, N. V. Oct. 8. Copper, obtaining.-Unroasted or roasted ore containing both copper oxide and copper sulphide is leached first with a cold acid solution containing a large proportion of iron, mostly as ferrous sulphate, to dissolve copper oxide; this solution may, for instance, contain per litre 60 grm. of iron, of which 10-15 grm. are in the ferric state, 20 grm. of copper, and 45 grm. of sulphuric acid. From leaching-tanks a, b, c, the solution passes to an undivided electrolytic cell g, which may have leaden anodes, and thence to a storage tank i and back to the leaching-tanks, the rate of circulation being such that the proportion of ferric iron abovementioned is not exceeded. Afterwards the ore is treated with a hot solution containing more ferric iron, say 40 grm. per litre, obtained by oxidizing part of the first solution in a divided cell; copper sulphide is thus dissolved. As shown, the ore may be passed successively through tanks d, e, f, through which solution from the storage tank i, after traversing the divided cell h and a heater k, passes in the reverse direction ; the reduced solution, mixed with some of the first solution carried by the ore, is returned to the storage tank i.

Title: Improvements in Catalytic Bodies.

IPC: B01J23/70
Filed: 1914-03-07
Granted: 1915-06-07
Abstract: 5847. Valpy, O. H., and Lucas, O. D. March 7. Catalytic agents, preparation of.-Catalytic bodies are prepared by heating to reduction and sintering a mixture comprising a metal oxide, and a metal compound of the organic type composed of metal, carbon, and oxygen with or without hydrogen, and which, when heated, evolves carbon monoxide or dioxide. If it is desired to complete the reduction to the metallic state, a reducing-agent which is solid or becomes so on heating is added. Suitable organic compounds are carbonates, oxalates, tartrates or acetates, and in examples, the following mixtures are used: nickel and iron oxalates and oxides, and carbon; red oxide of iron, manganese carbonate, ferrous oxalate, carbon and aluminium; ferric and nickel oxides, iron tartrate, nickel acetate, and aluminium. The carbon and aluminium act as the reducing- agent, and it is found that the production of the material is facilitated by the addition of aluminium, cerium, magnesium, or other alkaline-earth metals. The mixture is briquetted with the aid of a suitable binding-material such as tar, which may form all or part of the reducing-agent. The catalysts produced according to the above examples are suitable for use in cracking hydrocarbon oils.
