Title: Improvements in and relating to Refuse-consuming and Gas-producing Furnaces.
Inventor: TOBIANSKY LEOPOLD
Filed: 1904-05-31
Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 12,361. Tobiansky, L. May 31. Refuse-consuming furnaces; gas-producers.-Relates to a gas-generating and incinerating furnace for consuming fµcal matters, the mud of sewers and drains, market waste, food unfit for consumption, and other organic matters, and generally all combustible waste matters. The furnace comprises an ashpit A, fireplace F, and a retort R into which the refuse is introduced through a hopper K. To start the action of the furnace, a fire is first lit upon the grate H, and air for combustion is supplied through openings in the fire-door P. The first products of combustion pass off by means of a chimney C. When the fire is well alight, the supply of air through the fire-door is shut off, and the air which is supplied beneath the grate enters the retort R by an orifice t, and passes laden with moisture from the refuse through a three-way cock Z into a flue V, and thence beneath the grate. When all the moisture has left the refuse, the orifice t is closed, and the cock Z is turned so that the gases from the retort are led into a mixing- carburetter G. At the same time, the chimney C is closed, and the products from the furnace pass over the curved baffle into the carburetter G. When all the gases have left the retort, the residue is allowed to fall through the opening S into the furnace. Water is supplied from the carburetter G through nozzles d, to hollow grate bars H, provided with holes o, through which the steam produced in the bars passes to the furnace. Any suspended matters in the gases entering the car-, buretter G are deposited in the water at the bottom. For carburetting or enriching the gas produced, a small gas motor (not shown), driven by gas from the furnace, has its governor connected with the cock r of the supply pipe from a reservoir B, which contains oil or tar. The products of combustion of the oil or tar pass with the other products into the carburetter. Another means for enriching the gas consists in supplying in a similar manner oil or tar from a vessel B' to a retort D, from which it passes in a gaseous state through a pipe Z<11> into the carburetter, or a light hydrocarbon in the vessel B<11> may be fed through a spraying-device into the carburetter, or a rich gas may be supplied thereto by the pipe b<111>.

Granted: 1904-08-11
Abstract: 15,181. Steenbock, P. July 7. Teeth, stopping.-A cement for filling teeth, cementing porcelain, and the like, is made by mixing beryllium compounds, which are not readily soluble in water and react with phosphoric acids or their acid salts, or are decomposed by them, with similar compounds of the other light metals, preferably sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, strontium, zinc, and aluminium. These compounds are the oxides, basic phosphates, borates, and silicates, also fluorides, alone, or corresponding double salts of several of them. Beryllium compounds have been used before, but in very small quantity. By way of example, beryllium nitrate is precipitated by a solution of silicic acid in soda (Na4SiO4) ; the precipitate, after standing, is filtered, washed, dried, slightly calcined, and powdered. The powder (2 BeOÀSiO2) is mixed in the proportion 8 to 5 with a powder made by melting lime, alumina, and silica together in the molecular proportion of 1 : 1 : 2, and the mixture is triturated, nearly to saturation, with ortho, pyro, or meta phosphoric acid, or their acid salts, for example a 50 per cent. solution of orthophosphoric acid, containing a little zinc phosphate and aluminium phosphate.

Title: Improvements relating to Oxygen Generators.
Inventor: JAUBERT GEORGE FRANCOIS
Filed: 1906-06-01
Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 12,834. Jaubert, G. F. June 5, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Oxygen. - In apparatus for producing substantially pure oxygen at any desired pressure by the combustion of cakes or briquettes having a base of oxygenated salts such as chlorates, or more particularly perchlorates and nitrates, the generator or generators are constructed distinct from the receiver, are connected therewith by piping comprising stop-cocks and a purifier, have a small capacity beyond that necessary for the briquettes, and are provided with a cooling means. Two or more generators may supply a common receiver, operating either simultaneously or in turn. Thus, by operation of the cocks a generator may be isolated and recharged while the other or others are working. For example, two generators b, b<1> are formed of tubes of drawn steel closed at the bottoms and provided with detachable lids e, e' held by straps f, f<1>. The briquettes h contained in tne generators b, b<1> may either be arranged in baskets g, g<1> or the baskets may be dispensed with. If the surrounding air does not afford sufficient cooling, the generators are immersed in a tank i filled with cold water and preferably adapted for constant replenishing. Each generator might also have a water jacket. The oxygen coming from the generators b, b<1> passes through pipes c, c<1> provided with cocks d, d<1> and then through a column j formed by a tube adapted to resist pressure and filled with absorbent material such as pumice-stone impregnated with caustic soda and resting on a grating k. A drain cock l permits of discharging condensed liquids, while a screw-threaded cap m, provided with a square head to facilitate its removal, enables the column to be inspected and its contents changed. The oxygen then passes through a cock n into an ordinary receiver a. When briquettes which increase largely in volume during combustion are used, the capacity of the generators must be correspondingly increased.
