Inventor: HUXTABLE JOHN
IPC: A01B15/18
Filed: 1911-02-24
Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 4679. Huxtable, J. Feb. 24. Ploughs.-In an adjustable coulter of the kind described in Specification 1823/86 the coacting teeth on the stem 7 and blade 3 are made of such a shape that there is no tendency for them to ride on one another when the coulter is in use. The coulters may be provided with several blades and with means for preventing accumulation of weeds &c., and for adjustably attaching a skim coulter. Fig. 1 shows the bosses 2, 6 of the blade and stem formed with angular teeth having coacting faces perpendicular to the plane of the bosses, but the teeth may be rectangular &c. Fig. 3 shows three blades 3 connected to one boss 2. Fig. 4 shows a curved extension 9 at the top of the blade 3 to prevent accumulation of weeds &c.

Title: A Process for Evaporating or Concentrating Fluids and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: NEUBERGER DAVID MYRON
IPC: B01D1/18

Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 5872. Neuberger, D. M. March 8. Spray evaporators.-In evaporating liquids, in order to concentrate or dry them, by atomizing the liquid into a current of air or other gas, the operation is effected in such manner that a number of zones or strata are formed in the apparatus, the concentrated or dry product collecting at its base. For this purpose, the atomizing devices 4, 8, and the air inlet 13 and outlet 15, are so arranged that the entering sheet of spray and the sheets of air entering and leaving the chamber are directed horizontally, and at angles, in plan, one to the others. In the construction illustrated, the spray and the outflowing air are directed oppositely, and the incoming air at right-angles to both of these. The liquid enters through nozzles 4 or is sprayed by jets of air entering through nozzles 8. The air for effecting the evaporation passes over a heating- coil 12 and enters at such velocity as to avoid rebound from the opposite wall of the chamber, which is made polygonal in form to prevent the lormation of eddies. The air in the lowest zone of the chamber, in which the products collect, is at rest, and may be cooled in order to raise its specific gravity and thus preserve the stratification. The product is discharged through a revolving gate 14. Any particles carried away by the air are retained in a chamber 17 which may be made of gauze &c. The invention is applied to any liquid containing solids or liquid in solution, suspension, or emulsion, for example, milk, cream, blood, bile, sugar, glucose, dyes, mineral waters, salts, and metallic slimes.

Abstract: 26,225. Kadow, A. Nov. 23. Delivering molten metal; blowing.-Relates to the manufacture of blown glass-ware, such as electric-lamp bulbs. A blank mould A, Fig. 1, is charged by suction or otherwise from a tank T and the excess of metal cut off as usual. The blank mould A is then placed above a blowpipe D, Fig. 2, and the jaws a are opened so as to allow the blank X, having a flange C, to fall into the blowpipe socket. The blank X is then seized by the jaws E, pierced by the plunger c, and partly blown, as shown in Fig. 4. The air pressure is then released and the blank is allowed to collapse partly, as shown in Fig. 5. It is then blown again, and again allowed to collapse. This may be repeated several times and the blowpipe may be swung. The blowpipe D is finally inverted, and the blank blown in a mould as usual. Details of the mechanism for carrying out these operations are described in Specification 26,222/11.

In the portable lamp shown in Fig. 2, the connecting - piece consists of a thimble M abutting against an insulated contact C fixed inside the metal casing A, and is connected to one pole of a battery B the other pole of which is connected to the casing through a fuse D. A spring P is normally compressed between a disk O of insulating material closing the lantern chamber, and a flange on the thimble which is fastened to an insulating ring K. A reflector L carried by the ring K is connected electrically to the lampholder J, and to a metal ring N provided with conducting springy projections N<1> adapted to be locked in notches in a fixed ring Q when a broad shoulder H' formed on the globe and abutting against the reflector, breaks. The ring Q screws into a ring F bayonet-jointed or screwed to the casing and locked by a bayonet ring G as described in Specification 18,864/09. In a modification, Fig. 6, adapted to be locked when the lamp is removed, the'thimble and locking projections are attached to a movable insulating ring S actuated by a spring P, the remaining parts being fixed to a separate ring. The globe is provided with a ribbon lining H<2> of metal normally completing the circuit between the ring F and a metal ring R connected to the lampholder.

Abstract: 3180. Fletcher, H. M. Feb. 8. Globes.-A terrestrial globe is provided with devices of the following character for demonstrating the meaning of latitude and longitude and their respective relations to polar altitude and time. The globe A is of transparent material such as glass, celluloid, or wire gauze, and is formed with lines of latitude and longitude and with outline maps showing the principal capitals and towns. The latitude device consists of a fixed dial D graduated as shown and provided with a pointer H which can be set through gearing F, G by a spindle E. When the pointer is set to any place on the globe, the latitude is set from the globe and the angle from the dial, the two readings coinciding. The longitude device consists of a fixed graduated dial I arranged to be read by a pointer J fixed to the globe on the equator at the Greenwich meridian. In use, the pointer H is set to any desired place on the globe, the longitude is read from the globe and the angle is read by the pointer J from the dial I, the two readings coinciding. To demonstrate that the altitude of the pole above the horizon is equal to the latitude of the place, there is provided a removable graduated dial 0 carrying pivotally a pointer R which is counterweighted to remain parallel to the axis of the globe. The counterweight S is pivoted at P to the dial and is provided with a hinge T for the pointer so that this can point either to the North Pole star or to the Southern Cross. The dial is slidably mounted on a grooved support N and can be secured by a screw U. In use, the dial 0 and the pointer H are set at the required place and the dials D, 0 are then read, the readings coinciding. For showing the relation between longitude and time, there is provided the usual fixed ring M graduated in hours and minutes, A.M. being west and P.M. east.
