Title: An Improved Process and Apparatus for Electrically Separating Suspended Bodies from Electrically Non-conducting, especially Gaseous Fluids.
Inventor: MOELLER ERWIN
IPC: B03C3/06
Filed: 1913-09-01
Granted: 1915-06-10
Abstract: 19,732. M÷ller, E. Aug. 31, 1912, [Convention date]. Electrostatic separators. - Suspended particles are separated from liquids by dividing the liquid stream into a number of cylindrical part - currents each of which is subjected to electric discharges from centrally - disposed electrodes. For example, the liquid to be purified is passed into a chamber 100 and leaves this chamber through cylindrical pipes 2. The discharges emanate from thin wires 1 arranged axially in these pipes, and the charged particles settle on the surface of the pipes, from which they are separated by knocking. To avoid any electric disturbance at the edges of the pipes 2, the ends are widened and the wires 1 are provided with protecting- sleeves or thickened portions at these parts. The wires 1 are tensioned by weights 8. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) refers to the treatment of petroleum and impure oils, and also states that the wires 1 may be provided with a non-metallic covering, or they may be replaced by a series of disks with sharp edges or points. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Inventor: FAURE JEAN MARIE ANDRE
IPC: B28B1/02
Filed: 1914-01-23
Granted: 1914-12-24
Abstract: 1879. Faure, J. M. A. Jan. 23. Pottery, turning.-In a machine for shaping china or earthenware plates, dishes, &c., a rotary turret c carries a moulding-tool a for pressing the clay blank into contact with the rotating mould b, and a profile tool d for shaping the outer surface of the blank. The front part of the tool a is rounded off so that it acts downwardly on the blank. The turret c is carried by a shaft f mounted in a vertically sliding frame g reciprocated by a rotating cam t. The rotation of the shaft f to bring the tool a into the operative position acts through gearing k, l, n to displace a rack o past a pivoted stop q<1>. When the moulding operation is completed, a stop u on the cam t engages an arm q<2> on the stop-rod and lifts the stop q<1>, thereby allowing a spring q to return the rack o against a stop and thus to bring the tool d into the operative position. In a modification, the upper part of the frame g is pivoted about the lower part concentrically with the shaft m, and an additional rack and stop-mechanism are provided at the upper part of the shaft m carrying the gear-wheels l, n, so that the act of swinging the upper part of the frame into the working position while holding the turret shaft against rotation sets both mechanisms. After the shaping operation is complete, the upper rack is released and swings the upper part of the frame out of action.

Abstract: 6175. Jackson, W. E. March 11. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Kinematograph apparatus.-Comprises improved means whereby the breaking of the film in kinematograph apparatus operates a switch to close an electric circuit, releasing a shutter and thereby excluding the light and preventing firing of the film. The closing of the shutter operates a second switch and breaks the circuit of the driving motor. The film a is drawn off the drum e and received into the drum f in the ordinary manner, and in the event of breakage so that the roller d does not actuate the film a, the loop a' enlarges and raises a curved extension g of a lever g<1> until contact is made with the strip g<3> energizing the magnet m and releasing the shutter j, which falls by its own weight and operates the switches o, n breaking the motor and magnet circuits. In addition a roller h rests on the film and should the film break between the roller d and the drum f, the roller h will fall closing the circuit through the magnet m, and effecting release of the shutter j. A governorcontrolled switch is also placed in the magnet circuit so that the shutter is released upon a slowing down of the movement of the film.
