Inventor: AULD HENRY BAIN
IPC: B61D9/14
Filed: 1910-11-05
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 25,710. Auld, H. B. Nov. 5. Ropegrips.-Comprises rope grips for the haulage of tip-wagons, trucks, and like vehicles, in which a counterweighted lever a is mounted in a casing c at each end of the truck.

Inventor: ECKFORD WILLIAM
IPC: C01G21/06
Filed: 1910-12-31
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 30,355. Eckford, W. Dec. 31. Melting-pots. - Consists of improvements in apparatus for melting lead and feeding it to an oxidizing chamber. A well a<6> is provided in the bottom of the chamber, extending outwards on one side to receive a flanged feed-pipe B, which dips well below the level of the melted lead and forms a level indicator and overflow. The top of the pipe B is set at the height desired for the level inside the chamber A, and its flange b<1> is preferably cut away as at b<7> for the overflow. The pipe B may have two divisions b<3>, b<4>, the latter for feeding in the pig-lead, which, owing to the slope of the pipe, is automatically gripped, and the former for a pipe C for the admission of air or steam and air, but the pipe C may be arranged clear of the pipe B. The wall a<3> of the pocket a<6> may be set across the floor a<4> of the chamber A, as shown, to prevent the rotation of the lead under the action of the disintegrating-apparatus, but the invention is also applicable where the lead is agitated by revolving stirrers dipping therein, in which case the overflow would be raised above the level of the floor a'.

Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 10,532. Gehring, G. May 1. Factory &c. time-recorders, card type; token apparatus.-The workmen obtain time-records upon their cards by operating a time and date stamp by means of a sheet-metal identifying check. The apparatus comprises an automatic clock-work die 15<a>, normally held in its highest position by a toothed disk 13 operated through pinions 10, 11 by a spring which also acts through pinions 8, 9 to drive a locking-disk 6 at the same rate as the disk 13. On the release of the locking-disk 6 by a detent 5, a projection 14 on the die-rod 15 is released by a tooth of the disk 13, and the die descends under the action of a spring 16 to stamp the card placed in a suitable holder on a table 27. The die is then raised by the succeeding tooth of the disk 13 until the disk 6 is again engaged by the detent. The sheet-metal check introduced through a shoot 1 operates a balanced detent lever 3 and releases a detent 5 from engagement with a disk 6; thence it passes on through a shoot 19, operates a recording-lever 18, and falls from a guide 28 into a collecting-box 29. The action of the check on the lever 18 causes a pin 20 to strike a recording-strip 21 wound from a roller 23 on to a roller 22 by the action of pinions 25, 24 gearing with the pinion 8.

Granted: 1912-06-03
Abstract: 13,397. Pictet, R. P. June 4, 1910, [Convention date]. Hydrogen and carbon are made by distilling crude or commercial petroleum, tar oils, or other suitable hydrocarbons and passing t h e vapours thereof through a long, relatively narrow tube, wherein they are heated to dissociation, and then further heating in such a way that 18À1 calories are supplied to the gases for each 16 gms. of gas, with a tube temperature of 1200-1350‹ C. In practice, a current of liquid petroleum m a y be run through a tube B to a receptacle A where it is at once vaporized under the action of a burner C. The vapours pass through a tube D to a long tube E highly heated by a fire K. In the first part of the tube E, the vapours are heated to about 1200‹ C., and then pass to a part FFF where they are heated to about 1350‹ C.; to regulate the temperature at this point, a tube L is provided through which can pass a current of ordinary or water gas, or a quantity of air. The escaping hydrogen passes through a chamber G and a filter H, and then through an exit J to a gas-holder; a current of water flowing over the chamber G and filter H vigorously cools the gas. The reaction tube E may be either horizontal or vertical, of iron or cast - iron, while the more highly heated part F, F, F may be a separate receptacle of cast-iron, refractory clay, chamotte, enamelled porcelain, &c.
