Patent GB-190622743-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Garden Shears
Inventor: HARRISON BERNARD STANIFORTH
Filed: 1906-10-15
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 22,743. Harrison, B. S. Oct. 15. Shears.-The blanks of garden shears are cut from sheets or strips of steel, with the parts intended for the tang in duplicate form of the intended finisbed tang, so that it can be doubled upon itself to form a tang of double the thickness of the blade and also to provide a suitable stop for the blades when put together. The blanks B, Fig. 2, are cut out of a sheet of steel with the duplicate parts of the tang on the left side. The tang part is heated and bent back upon itself along the line L and then flattened. The tang, while still heated, is then bent in suitable dies at an angle with the blade, as shown in Fig. 5, to give the necessary clearance ; it is then suitably bent in other dies to give the necessary elevation to the handles. If cut from strips of steel, the blanks are of the shape shown in Fig. 9, with the duplicate part of the tang on the right side. The blank is then treated as above. The part of the tang that is bent over may be made hollow or semitubular. The bevelled cutting-edges are reduced to the required form by pressing or forging. While still heated, the blanks are pressed in suitable dies to give the proper set to the cutting-edge, and are then hardened, tempered, and ground, and fitted together in pairs as usual.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Raising Liquids.
Inventor: HODDER ALBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1907-01-19
Granted: 1908-02-19
Abstract: 1473. Hodder, A. E. Jan. 19. Automatic systems of raising water &c.-Relates to that type of apparatus in which a closed vessel B, supplied with water from a source A at the same level, is connected by an air-pipe K with a closed pressure tank F at a lower level. An aerating-tank D, at the level of and connected with the source A, supplies the tank F. with air - charged water. The tank D, shown in detail in Figs. 2 and 3, is provided with a perforated diaphragm, in which the total area of the holes exceeds the sectional area of the pipe E ; a separate chamber D<3> is formed above the diaphragm by the plate D<2>, whereby a certain number of holes are only open to the air. Water entering the tank F compresses the air trapped in the bell float G<2>, Fig. 4, and the air in the pipe K. The compressed air in the pipe K is utilised to force the water in the vessel B up the pipe B<1> to the tank a. This compressed air may also be used for other work. When the tank B is empty, the pressure in the pipe K drops to that of the atmosphere, whereupon the air under the bell float suddenly expands and forces the float up; at the same time, the float J<1> rises sufficiently for the arm J to pass under the collar G<3> and hold the valve G open. The tank F is then emptied through the opening F<1> and the tank B fills through the valve C<1>. As soon as the level of water in the tank F is insufficient to keep up the float J<1>, the catch J disengages itself from the collar G<3>, and the valve G closes. The cycle of operations then proceeds as before. When it is required to raise the water by more than one stage, the pipe K is continued up and has valved connexions with tanks, such as b, which are similar to the tank B. Taps are provided for drawing-off the water when ice is liable to be formed. The apparatus is suitable for liquids other than water.

Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 27,473. Pauling, H. Dec. 17. Fractional distillation, apparatus for; destilling and concentrating nitric acid &c.-A process for simultaneously distilling and concentrating liquids consists in completely evaporating the mixture of liquids under treatment in a retort 1, leading the mixture of vapours into a rectifying-column 3, and introducing into the head of the column from a tank 4 the most volatile constituent of the mixture in a liquid form in such quantity that a pure vapour of this constituent is discharged from the column by a pipe 7, while the heaviest constituent flows away from the base of the column by a pipe 5. When diluted nitric acid is under treatment, the vapours are superheated in a coil 2, and water is admitted to the column from the tank 4, while the resulting concentrated acid flows away by the pipe 5. As only a very small quantity of liquid is present in the retort so as to prevent concentration before reaching the column, a castiron retort containing sand on to which the acid is allowed to trickle can be used for the evaporation.
