Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 2353. Neumann, B. Feb. 15, 1911, [Convention date]. Bottles, washing.-Bottles are placed by hand into peripheral pockets of a rotary feeddrum and are moved laterally in stages so that they enter pockets on three drums mounted side by side on a common axis, and thereby are carried in succession through three soaking-tanks. Fig. 2 shows the apparatus comprising drums 8 and a feed-wheel 14. The peripheral pockets on the drums are formed by a series of ribs engaging the necks, bodies, and bottoms of the bottles. To transfer the bottles from one drum to another, four depending arms 15 mounted on a shaft 26 arc reciprocated by a crank and connecting-rod 20 through the medium of the arm 27 of a sliding cross-head. During the return movement of the arms, the shaft 26 is rotated by a cam 31 formed on the crank disk whereby the arms are raised out of the path of the bottles. During this rotary movement of the shaft, the lateral movement of the cross-head is neutralized by means of a cam 45 engaging one end of the connecting rod which works in a slot on the crank disk. The period of oscillation of the transferring- mechanism is regulated so that successive rows of bottles are removed from the feed-wheel and from each of the soaking-wheels after passing through a complete revolution. The bottles pass from the last wheel into a pivoted cradle carrying a pinion 42 on the pivot shaft. The rotary movement of the shaft 26 imparts movement to a toothed rack 43, which rotates the pinion to invert the cradle and deliver the bottles to a shoot 44.

Title: Process and Apparatus for the Separation of Gaseous Mixtures into their Constituents.
Inventor: PICTET RAOUL PIERRE
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1913-04-21
Granted: 1914-04-16
Abstract: 9357. Pictet, R. P. July 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Separating gaseous mixtures by liquefaction. -Relates to a process for separating the constituents of gaseous mixtures, described in connexion with the separation of oxygen and nitrogen in atmospheric air, the nitrogen representing the more volatile constituent of a gaseous mixture, in which the air is passed through descending liquid nitrogen in a rectification column, and the vaporization of the differing liquid mixtures in the column is effected by the liquefaction of nitrogen in a separate coil passing through them. According to the invention, the nitrogen is supplied at different pressures to coils entering the column at different heights, the pressures being regulated so that the nitrogen is just liquefied at the level at which it enters the coils. Fig. 1 illustrates a. rectification column in which are immersed in the liquids on the trays three coil systems j, j<1>, j<2> supplied with gaseous nitrogen at four different levels bv means of a doubleacting compressor f and pipes i fitted with valves l. Each coil system is immersed in all the trays above the point of entry and is adapted to deliver the nitrogen liquefied therein on to the top tray. The lowermost coil has a branch which passes through the oxygen-vaporizing chamber at the foot of the column. Cooled atmospheric air is supplied to the column at q by a fan, at a pressure of about À05 atmospheres. Liquid nitrogen or liquid air is employed for compensating for unavoidable heat losses, nitrogen being supplied to the top of the column through a pipe s, or liquid air at a lower level. The column is charged with liquid air at the commencement, and when in full working order, pure nitrogen is constantly drawn off by the compressor and pure vaporized oxygen delivered through the pipe r, there being a temperature gradient from -195‹ C. at the top to -182‹ C. at the bottom of the column. The nature of the discharge from the coils may be observed by means of a window p and electric lamp p<1>.
