Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Sterilising and Purifying Liquids and Regenerating Perischable Liquids and Materials.
Inventor: BROWNE DOUGLAS LEICESTOR VERNON
IPC: A23L3/32
Filed: 1911-09-27
Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 21,332. Browne, D. L. V., and Masson, J. Sept. 27. Liquids, fibrous materials, and organic substances, treating; electrodes.-Liquids such as water, milk, grape must, alcoholic b e v e r a g e s, and sugar juices are sterilized, p u r i f i e d, softened, clarified, and aged by small currents, stated to be insufficient to produce electrolysis, parallel adjacent electrodes of aluminium or an aluminium alloy being used. In addition, the liquids may be filtered and subjected to the action of similarly-arranged auxiliary plates of aluminium containing small quantities of other elements such as carbon, silicon, iron, or bismuth, these plates having no external electric connexions. The liquids treated may afterwards be employed as disinfectants for vegetables, fruit, oils, and other substances, and as media for degreasing wool and degumming rubber and fibrous materials. Fig. 2 shows an electrolyzing-tank a, filters t, and settling-tank u containing auxiliary plates, the liquid being drawn off from above these. In a modification, sloping sets of auxiliary plates are placed around the inlet of the electrolyzing-cell and below the electrodes, and other sets are arranged below filters in a tank which receives the liquid from the cell. A portable apparatus for domestic and other purposes comprises a tank in one compartment of which is a magnetoelectric machine; in another compartment are cylindrical electrodes forming co-axial chambers through which the liquid passes in succession to a central filter. Fig. 7 shows a series of electrodes carried by a vertical shaft d which is rotated continuously or intermittently, say by a handle s. A frame m on the tank carries brushes o which bear against the shaft and a slip-ring h. A conductor from this ring to one set of electrodes passes through the hollow shaft, which forms the other conductor.

IPC: B21F31/00
Filed: 1913-01-06
Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 358. Smith, H. W., and Smith, C. G. Jan. 6. Making metal fabrics; angular bending; bending-dies.-In a machine for making link mesh metallic fabric, the linkforming means remain stationary while the piece of fabric being made is moved step by step in the required directions. The wire a is fed by means of a slide 49, the gripping- block 50 of which is for this purpose moved in a rectangular path by a cam 59 and lever 53. The wire projecting through the bush 63, Figs. 5 and 13, is cut off, by a lever 67, and bent into a U-shape by the pin 82 of the lever 84, actuated by the rod 86. The partly-formed link is then pushed by the slide 91 along grooves 99 and into engagement with two previously-formed links, all these parts being actuated by cams on the shaft 34. During this movement, the pin 82 is turned out of the way and the centre former 119 and the back former 106 are advanced, to assist in closing the link, by cams 128, 117 and levers 123, 114. The fabric is carried by a pin roll 44 mounted on a carriage 41 having a pair of spring pawls 133, Fig. 3, one of which engages one of the toothed bar: 144 reciprocated by cams 146, whereby the carriage 41 &c. is moved through the distance of one link after each link has been made. When the carriage reaches the end of its stroke, three actions take place. Firstly, a projection 157 comes in contact with a lever 155 which, by means of the push pin 154, advances the pin roll in its bearings through the distance of half a link. Secondly, a ratchet-wheel 153 on the spindle 43 of the pin roll is acted on by a pawl 159 reciprocated by a projection 162 and rotates the roll to raise the fabric through the distance of one link. Thirdly, a projection 150 or 151 engages a slide 135 carried by the carriage 41 and moves it so as to hold the acting pawl 133 out of action and put the idle one into action, thus reversing the feed. The rings of each alternate row must be oppositely inclined as shown in Fig. 17, and to ensure this, during the movement of the pin roll to the left, the rings of the row previously made are corrected by riding over a fixed inclined strip 169, Fig. 20, and the rings of the row being made are each corrected immediately after being formed by a tipping pin 122 attached to the centre former 119.
