Title: Improvements in and relating to Rotary Rabbles for Ore-roasting Furnaces.
Inventor: HERRESHOFF JOHN BROWN FRANCIS
IPC: F27B9/24
Filed: 1910-09-22
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 22,022. Herreshoff, J. B. F. Sept. 22. Charging; charges, agitating.- Relates to the construction of hollow rotary rabbles for roasting-furnaces with superposed floors, to means for attaching teeth to the rabble arms, and to means for driving the orefeeding mechanism. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a sleeve J is rigidly connected to the rabble shaft H by flanges J<1>, H<2>, and each rabble arm L is connected to a flange on the sleeve J. This flange is formed with a pair of apertures registering with channels L', L<3>, Figs. 2 and 5, in the rabble arm and communicating, the one with the outer chambers, and the other with the central shaft. This construction opposes a minimum of friction to the passage of the cooling-fluid. Flanges L<5>, Fig. 5, are formed on the rabble arms for receiving the hooks of removable sections carrying the teeth P, and the sections are secured in place by bolts R. At the upper end, the shaft is closed by a plug H\ and the sleeve is provided with gearing for driving the screw for feeding ore. The lowermost rabble arm may be constructed without means for circulating air. In starting the operation, air passes through passages S surmounted by caps T, these passages being afterwards sealed by the descending ore.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Alarms for Bins or Columns of Grain and the like.
Inventor: STANSFIELD MAURICE
IPC: G01F23/18
Filed: 1910-10-01
Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 22,790. Stansfield, M. Oct. 1. Indicators, alarm.- To show when a bin of grain or the like is full or empty, devices are fixed in the walls which, when actuated by the pressure of the corn, sound a bell or other alarm. In the Provisional Specification, the device is described as applied to liquid reservoirs. A metal diaphragm A with circular corrugations, mounted on the end of a drum D, presses against a rod C fixed to a spring K carrying a contact L arranged near a similar contact L<1> on a spring K<1>. The springs are mounted on metal blocks U, T on an insulating block H, the blocks U, T carrying contacts which engage with similar contacts I<2> on two other metal blocks on the insulating block H<1>, these other blocks being connected to the alarm circuit. The pressure on the diaphragm A forces the springs K, K' together and so closes the alarm circuit, the position of the springs being adjusted by screws M, N. One of these devices mounted near the top of the wall of the bin gives an alarm when the bin is full, and a similar device, but with the spring L bent to the other side of the spring L<1>, at the bottom of the bin gives an alarm when it is empty, similar devices being placed at intermediate points if desired. The diaphragm A, which may also be made of leather or other flexible material, is backed by a concave plate B to prevent it from being damaged under great pressure.

Abstract: 5248. Huth, Ges., E. F., and Hirsch, R. Aug. 3, 1910, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Frequency, measuring.-In order to measure the frequency of electrical oscillations in a circuit, it is coupled with an oscillatory circuit, the natural period of which is periodically and continuously varied by varying the inductance or capacity, or both. A Geissler tube, sparkgap, or other indicator may be mounted on the spindle of a rotary condenser or inductance, and included in a circuit coupled with the variable oscillatory circuit, so that it is illuminated during each revolution at the instant when the variable circuit is in tune with the waves to be measured. The indicator moves over a scale calibrated in wave-lengths, so that the wave-length can be read off from the position at which it is active. The width of the streak of light seen and the gradation in its intensity give a measure of the damping in the primary circuit, and the appearance of more than one streak shows the existence of waves of different frequencies.

Granted: 1913-05-19
Abstract: 11,771. Podszus, E. May 17, 1911, [Convention date]. Pottery; pottery materials.-Ceramic or,fireproof bodies not containing clay are manufactured from the rare earths, aluminium oxide, quartz, magnesia, thorium oxide, zirconium oxide, and other difficultly soluble oxides and mixtures thereof by working the base material, reduced to a degree of fineness of 0À005 to 0À0001 mm. or less, to a liquid or paste with a' colloid solution of the base material or of one of the other substances specified. The product may be subsequently fired. The colloidal solution is preferably produced in the presence of the finely ground powder; for example, thorium oxide may be mixed with a solution of thorium or zirconium nitrate, the acid being subsequently eliminated by dialysis or by evaporation, the acid and water being replaced. After some time only water is added so that the acid is gradually driven off. The powder is finally allowed to settle and is then washed. As binding-agents, colloidal forms of magnesium hydroxide, thorium hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide from aluminium acetate, and silicic acid from sodium silicate and hydrochloric acid, are among the substances referred to. In some cases gelatine, gum, &c. may be used as subsidiary binding-agents, in quantity more than 0À5 per cent. Not less than 0À3 per cent. of alkali or acid should be used in making the colloidal solution. The process may be applied for improving the plastic qualities of materials of low placticity or for reconverting already burnt material to a plastic state. The Specitication as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following. When colloidal solutions are used as binding-agents, for example thorium hydroxide, in place of evaporating the acid by means of heat it may be done in the cold and the process may be hastened " by allowing alkaline reactions to act upon the mass from time to time." This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted, but part of it forms the subject of the divided application 23,577/12, [Class 87 (ii), Moulding plastic &c. substances].
