Patent GB-190924811-A (GB)
Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Filtering Water.
Inventor: SCHEIDT OTTO ERNST
Filed: 1909-10-28
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 24,811. Scheidt, O. E. Oct. 28. Liquids, purifying; filters with hollow filtering-elements; filters, air supply for; filters, cleansing; filtering- media; showing efficiency of filtration. -Impure water is agitated, before filtration, by blowing air, ozone, carbon-dioxide, or other suitable gas through it for the purpose of coagulating the impurities, and the filterelements are cleansed in succession during use by a back flow of filtered water and filtered air. Water passes from a receptacle 2 into a tank 4 containing groups of filter-elements 5 made of fine-grained artificial stone surrounded by a layer of compressed filtering-sand. By means of a Roots' blower 6, air or other gas is forced through pipes 7, 8 into the impure water. Pure water passes to a pipe 11 by means of a perforated pipe 9 and a conduit 10. Control pipes 12, with tops closed by glass covers, branch off from the pipe 11, and are closed at the bottom by a glass plate under which electric lamps are arranged. By this means the efficiency of the filtration may be observed. During filtration, the filter-elements are cleansed by a mixture of steam and air, by a back flow of filtered water from the tank 25, and by sterilization with steam supplied through a pipe by the K÷rting apparatus 22, 23. To prevent dust, bacteria, &c. from entering the elements 5, the air &c. is sucked through a fine-grained stone 24. The walls of the elements 5 may be cleansed with brushes, and also washed, at intervals, with filtered water by a syringe operated by the pump 23. If an element 5 breaks, it is removed by closing a valve 31 in the piece 10 without disturbing the general process. The impure water may be exposed to ultra-violet or other light rays emanating from a source of light arranged within the tank 4.

Abstract: 28,408. Morgan, J. H. Dec. 6. [Cognate Applications, 1683/10, 9311/10, and 11,766/10.] Pulleys. - In pulleys built up of the keystone sections, each section is formed from a strip of metal a provided with a central rib b, or from rolled T- i r o n, having a number of indents c, which, when the strip is bent to its final shape, form mitre joints. One end of each strip is plain and the ends overlap each other and are secured to the boss o f t h e pulley. The boss, which may be in parts, or may be cast as a whole about the portions m, is polygonal to correspond with the number of keystone sections employed. Its ends may be square for the reception of bolts r. Its polygonal faces have recesses for the heads of the bolts q securing together the turned-over portions of the arms f, g. The keystone sections may be formed in parts; for example, the rim portion may be separately attached, the portions f, g, h being then passed through holes in a recessed shroud 7 surrounding the boss, with or without the interposition of a liner z. The employment of a shroud in two parts enables the retaining- bolts- 1 to be placed within the face of the pulley. The inner ends of the arms f, g may be opened somewhat for receiving the turned-over ends of a liner z, which takes the form of a circular bush with an hexagonal projection, the arms and liner being bolted together. Angleplates 2 may be provided at the outer ends of the arms. A separate rim j may be affixed and two or more keystone sections may be combined with a very wide rim having one or more annular grooves. When the rim portions of the keystone sections are formed separately, the arms are bifurcated at their outer ends to receive the central rib of a sectional or continuous rim-piece. In the case of a split pulley, the arm portions overlap and are bolted together. The arm portions f, g of adjacent sections are bolted or riveted together, and in the recesses formed between them are located forgings 10 provided with projections or recesses to engage corresponding recesses or projections in the arm-ends and rim. The inner ends of the arms f, g may be welded together.

Abstract: 8029. Patterson, F. M. April 2. Axles.-A rod for use in the manufacture of axles &c. is formed by stamping radial incisions B in a rod, such that a channel at the bottom of each incision, when the rod is rolled or passed through dies to close the incisions, remains adjacent to the core, which is intact throughout, and the surface of the rod is continuous.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Recovery of Ammonium Sulphate from Distillation Gases and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: MUELLER WILHELM
IPC: C01C1/242
Filed: 1910-09-12
Granted: 1911-09-12
Abstract: 15,034. Mueller, W. Sept. 12, 1910. Ammonium sulphate.-In the recovery of ammonium sulphate from distillation gases, the acid liquor in the saturator is circulated by causing the gas to descend into the liquor at several points in succession, so that a continuously changing surface is presented to the gas. The gas enters the saturator through a pipe 12, and passes under distribution hoods 12<a> dipping into the liquor. The gases ascend to the flat top 15 of the saturator, and are caused to descend into the liquor by means of baffle-plates 16, so producing the desired circulation. These plates may be pivoted and connected to a common guide-rod, so that their inclination may be varied. The froth on the surface of the liquor passes into a chamber 19, from which it is drawn off through a pipe 20. The end 18<a> of the solution is made concave so as to divert the stream downwards and so continue the circulatory movement. Perforated baffle-plates 21 are placed in the middle of the circuit to collect the salts suspended in the liquor. The lower part of the saturator is conical, and the salts settle in a collecting- chamber at the bottom, from which they are removed by an ejector 26. For gases which contain a high percentage of ammonia, the saturator is constructed so as to utilize the heat produced in the absorption of the ammonia, and for this purpose it is arranged that the liquor is split up into two streams passing outwards instead of downwards, and the gases are caused to pass round the saturator so that they give up their heat to the liquor: The saturator is supplied with acid through a pipe 28 so arranged that a layer of free acid is formed at the top of liquor. The gases passing into the saturator should be freed from tar, for example, by the apparatus described in Specification 21,210/10, and in order to prevent the condensation of water in the saturator, the latter is heated laterally, and if desired on the top, by a steam coil. The acid supplied by the pipe 28 is for a similar reason heated, and a further advantage is obtained if hot acid is sprayed into the inlet pipe through a nozzle 30.
