Title: Improved Method & Apparatus for Raising Water & other Liquids by Means of Compressed Air or Steam.
Filed: 1912-08-16
Granted: 1913-09-16
Abstract: 18,854. Barker, W. H., aud Drysdale & Co. Aug. 16. Direct air or steam pressure apparatus, automatic. -Comprises improved apparatus for controlling the passage of the working fluid to and from the pump chamber. The valve-chest is bolted to the cover 2 of the forcing-chamber by a bolt 3, which is drilled to act as a supply pipe. A float rod 11 and a counterbalance 19 are attached to a pivoted rocker 17, which is controlled or held in its end positions by a weighted or spring-pressed trip 21. The float rod 11 is formed as a valve at 10 and coacts with the supply port 9, an exhaust port, and a passage 13 leading to a reversing-valve 12. Connected to the valve 12 is an exhaust valve 23 of less diameter, so that, if the former is forced down by the fluid pressure, air can exhaust from the chamber to the pipe 24, whereas, when the control valve 11 opens the passage 13 to the atmosphere, the exhaust valve is forced on to its seat and shuts off the pipe. The air supply also passes to a port 14 beneath an ejector 15, the space around the jet being connected by a ball-valved passage with the chamber. This passage may be additionally controlled by a valve which can be adjusted to suit varying loads. The conditions are such that on the delivery stroke the ball valve is closed and air passes from the port 14 to the chamber. When the ball valve opens on the suction stroke, the air from the port 14 passes through the ejector and assists in exhausting air from the chamber. An inlet pipe separate from the bolt may be used. The exhaust from the valve 12 is conducted to the trip box and thence to the chamber ; or it may be passed to the exhaust pipe. Where the chamber is filled by liquid flowing in under gravity, the ejector is dispensed with, and the exhaust valve situated in its place.

Title: Improvements in the Production of Shades on Fibre.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: D06P1/32
Filed: 1912-08-19
Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 18,964. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Aug. 19. Aniline-black and like dyeing; printing.- Brown shades are produced on fibre by oxidizing by means of a chlorate, a solution of o-dianisidine in acid; the dianisidine is preferably dissolved in an organic acid, or in a mixture of organic acid with an amount of mineral acid sufficient to combine with only one-fourth of the base, in order to a void damage to the fibre. The material is padded or printed with the mixture and then steamed. Suitable catalysts such as iron or copper salts may be added, but not vanadium salts, as the action of these is too energetic. Addition of potassium ferrocyanide to the padding or printing mixture, or printing ferrocyanide on the padded material, results in the production of a variety of yellow, orange, or brown shades; golden yellow effects are obtained by printing a chlorate discharge mixture on the developed material. White or coloured reserves may be obtained by treatment with a reducing-agent before steaming.

Abstract: 4120. Knoedler, E. L. Feb. 20, 1913, [Convention date]. Mantles are shaped and hardened in one operation by directing a hardening-flame into a mantle placed in a mould or muffle, which is such that a thin film of hot gases is maintained between the mantle and the mould. The mould is a perforated tube of platinum, ceramic material, or other refractory material, and may be open or closed at its lower end. In one form, Figs. 1 and 2, the mould has a closed end h, the perforations in which are larger than those in the sides. Suitable dimensions are given in the Specification. The mouth d of the mould is flared and provided with a centring-shoulder e for the legs f of the mantlering, and the burner c is used in the position shown in Fig. 1. In a modification, Fig. 5, the mould is an open cylinder with perforations l in the upper part. In another form, Fig. 6, a closed mould o encloses the perforated mould to give a higher temperature and increase the hardening effect. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that mantles of square, triangular, or other cross-section may be obtained by using suitably-shaped moulds, and describes a further modified mould, Fig. 6 (Cancelled), having perforated sides m and an imperforate end n considerablv below the end of the mantle, and a machine for simultaneously hardening and shaping a number of mantles by means of the moulds, Figs. 10, 11, and 13 (Cancelled). In this machine, the mantles are supported by their lugs 37 on loose plates 38 carried by a tray 40. The tray is first supported on a frame 2<a> over burners 4 for the preliminary burning. The tray is then moved forwards and is lowered on to vertical guiding-rods 41 on a carriage 8, on which the moulds 7 are mounted. The tray 40 moves down to the position shown in Fig. 11 (Cancelled), leaving the plates 38 resting on the upper edges of the moulds 7, and the carriage is run on rails 9 beneath the hardening- burners 11. The rails 9 are adjustable by means of a lever 10. The air and gas supplies to the burners 11 are controlled by valves normally closed by weighted arms and opened by cams 21 on either end of a shaft 23, which is set in rotation by means of a hand-lever 36 and makes a single rotation. The lever 36 is connected by a link 35 to a pin 29 pivoted upon a yoke 28 connected to a clutch member 26, which is adapted to engage a belt-wheel 24 on the countershaft 23<a>. This drives the cam shaft 23 by means of a worm 33 and wormwheel 31. When the lever 36 is operated, the pin 29 is disengaged from a pin 30 on the worm-wheel 31, the clutch member 26 is operated by springs 27, and the shafts 23<a>, 23 rotate until the pins 29, 30 again engage and the air and gas valves are closed. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
