Patent GB-189724593-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Processes of Purifying and Clarifying Sugary Products in Sugar-Houses, Sugar and Molasses Refineries Refineries or Factories of Glucose, and the like.
Inventor: LOISEAU DESIRE
Filed: 1897-10-23
Granted: 1898-10-15
Abstract: 24,593. Loiseau, D. Oct. 23. Purifying saccharine liquids and syrups.-In the purification of saccharine liquids and syrups, syrups containing glucose, and the like, a bibasic sucrate, the formula of which is stated to be C12H9O9, 2 (CaOHO1 CaOC02)1 (CaOCO2)2 is employed, and also a crystallized hydrated carbonate of lime. Beet-root juices, when being purified, are limed, preferably by means of burnt lime, and treated with carbonic-acid gas, the temperature of the juices being between 25‹ and 30‹ C., until a gelatinous precipitate containing the above-mentioned sucrate is obtained. The juices are next mixed with raw unlimed juice, or raw juice only very slightly limed, and the whole is filtered. By using a large proportion of the sucrate, the purification of the syrups may be made more complete, but it is more economical not to push the purification too far, and to complete it during the treatment of the syrups after leaving the triple-effect apparatus. In the treatment of syrups which have passed through the triple-effect apparatus, hydrated lime is added either to the whole or a part of such syrup, which is treated with carbonic-acid gas until the abovementioned sucrate is formed. The whole syrup thus treated, or the limed and carbonated part mixed with the unlimed syrup, so that the sucrate is evenly distributed, is finally boiled and filtered. When saccharine syrups or liquids containing glucose, which it is not desirable to destroy, are being treated, the crystallized hydrated carbonate of lime should be employed as well as the sucrate. This hydrated carbonate may be formed by passing carbonic-acid gas into a syrup which has been strongly limed and kept at as low a temperature as convenient, say 15‹ C. In the process of forming the sucrate or the hydrated carbonate in the sugar solutions, the solutions should be limed at as low temperatures as possible in order to avoid destruction of the glucose.

In modifications, catches are used to secure the sides instead of the bolt g. According to this arrangement, spring catches u, Fig. 6, are on the sides a, c, and ordinary hooks w on the adjacent sides. The lid and collapsed box may be secured by screws.

Abstract: 19,930. Tyden, E. Sept. 20. Fastenings, seal. A sealing-device for preventing tampering with the fastenings of railway carriage doors, mail bags, packages, &c. consists of a flexible strip formed into a loop A, and having its ends secured by a lead &c. seal B, suitably impressed when clinched. One end A<2> of the strip has bridge-pieces A<25>, A<27> with slots through which the straight end A' can be interlaced. The end A<2> is bent over at A<20> to form a guide for the end A', the seal being passed through holes in the parts A<2>, A<20> and through a slot A<10> in the end A<1>. A serial number is placed on the parts as indicated, but only some of the figures are visible in any particular position of the end A'. The slot A<10> allows this end to be moved to disclose all the figures in turn. This arrangement ensures that officials who have to report the serial number must handle the seal and thus more readily detect tampering. Figures may be placed on both sides, thus necessitating the strip being turned over to read the serial. Figures may be placed on the bridge piece A<25> and disclosed by an aperture A<11> in the end A<1>, or all the figures may be on the end A<1>. Slightly-modified forms are described.

Abstract: 18,938. Ehrenbacher, M. Sept. 20. Wick-raising apparatus.-Relates to mechanism for returning the wicks in incandescent and other lamps to the normal position for burning after the wicks have been raised for lighting or lowered for extinguishing.

Either the arm h or the stop g may be made sufficiently resilient to return the button to its normal position after it has been turned to actuate the wick for lighting or extinguishing. By drawing the button d outwards against the spring y, the arm h clears the stop g, and the wick may be freely raised or lowered. Modifications are described in which a cam, a ratchet, or a screw is substituted for the stop g, or the wick is returned to the normal burning position by a spiral or other spring attached to the wick-carrier.

Granted: 1901-02-01
Abstract: 23,879. Dem Borne, G. von, and Debsch³tz, W. von. Dec. 31. Pottery, ornamenting. Multi-coloured glazed designs or ornamentations are produced on ceramic ware by using glazes or enamels mixed with hardeniug-solutions or cements, and removing portions of the foundation colours by means of sand blast and stencil plates. The subsequent coats of glaze adhere to the parts acted on by the sand blast, while the glaze on the remaining parts of the article is protected from any further coating by applying gummed paper, varnish, wax, or fats to the surface of the article after the glaze has hardened. The protective coating may be burnt off, or dissolved, and the article may be coated all over with a colourless glaze before the final firing process. The hardening-material which is mixed with the glaze or enamel may consist of dextrin, gelatine, shellac solution, lime soap solution, waterglass oxychlorides which harden like cement, or combinations of silicofluoric acid and the like. The glazes are applied to the articles in the biscuit stage, and fixed in one firing operation. The burnt glazed articles may be deadened by sand blasting or etching, if desired.

Abstract: 1329. Wildt, H., [Brinton, H.]. Jan. 21. Circular knitting - machines.-Relates to means for changing the motion of the knitting cam ring from rotary to reciprocating, and to pattern mechanism for automatically operating the various organs of the machine. The e bevelwheel for driving the cam ring is fast on the driving-shaft 1, which carries loose sleeves 6, 11 and a splined clutch 22. The sleeve 6 carries a fast pinion 7 and a disc 8 in a hole in which works a spring-pressed pin 24 adapted to engage a hole 25 in the clutch 22. The sleeve 11 carries a disc 9 similar to the disc 8, a pinion 10, and fast and loose pulleys 12, 13. The pinion 10 gears with a spur-wheel 14 on a countershaft 15 having a crank 17, which rocks a slotted lever 19 carrying at its upper end a toothed sector 21 gearing with the pinion 7. When the clutch 22 engages the disc 8, the cam ring reciprocates, and, when it engages the disc 9, the cam ring rotates. The clutch 22 is moved by means of a fork 26, which slides on two guiderods 28 and has a pair of pins 29, 30 normally pressed up out of range of the cam 31 by springs. When one of the pins is depressed by a lever 32 or 33, the fork is shogged by the cam 31 on the constantly-rotated countershaft 15. The levers 32 are operated by two armed levers 38 on a shaft 39. The shaft 39 carries a pattern drum 43, to which is fixed a ratchet-wheel 44 and also a loose ratchetwheel 52 attached to the sprocket-wheel of a pattern chain 65. Both these ratchet-wheels 44, 52 are operated by pawls 45 on a lever rocked by a lever pivoted to the constantly-rocked lever 19. The pattern chain 65 is constantly fed forwards ; when a bit on the chain comes opposite an arm 59 on a shaft 55, this shaft is rotated, and a link 61 is withdrawn from under the spring tooth pawl 45 and allows it to gear with its ratchet-wheel 44 and so rotate the drum 43 until the link 61 is again raised by a projection 63. The drum 43 has sets of cams to operate the various mechanisms which control the fashioning &c. of the stocking.
