Title: Improvements in the Production of Ductile Iron by Electrolytic Means.
Inventor: PLAUSON HERMAN
IPC: C25C1/06
Filed: 1912-05-07
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 10,882. Plauson, H., and Tistschenko, G. May 7. Iron, depositing; non-metallic substances, obtaining.-Ductile iron is obtained at temperatures between 50‹ and 70‹ C. from an acidified electrolyte containing a double salt of divalent iron and another metal. The salt may be a chloride, sulphate, oxalate, silicofluoride, organic sulphonate, chlorosulphonate, borosilicochloride, borosilicofluoride, borosulphonate, or chloroborate, and the second metal may be one of the alkali or alkaline-earth group, or ammonium salts may be used. The electrolyte contains a free acid corresponding to that of the salts, a different acid such as hydrochloric, boric, phenolsulphonic or borosiliconuoric, or a bisulphate or other acid salt, preferably one having a complex ion. An excess of a salt of an alkali metal may in some cases be present. The density of the solution may be from 20 to 25 BÚ. With a small current density, a cold solution neutralized by an alkali or alkalineearth carbonate may be used. A borosulphonic acid may be made by heating a mixture of 4 parts of a phenolsulphonic or other sulphonic acid with 3 parts of powdered boric acid to 130-140‹ C. for about 6 hours, and borobenzenesulphonates by melting together borobenzoic acid and any sulphonic acid. To prepare sodium borosilicafluoride, boric acid is dissolved in twice its weight of hydrofluosilicic acid and the mixture neutralized with caustic soda. The double salts may be prepared by one of the following methods: (1) A salt solution is electrolysed. between iron electrodes and acid is added as fast as it is used up in producing the iron salt. Carbon dioxide or hydrogen is simultaneously passed through the solution accordingly as it contains a salt of an alkali or alkalineearth metal. (2) A fused ferric salt is treated with an alkali or alkaline-earth metal, in small quantities at a time, in hydrogen or a vacuum. (3) A ferrous salt is added to a solution of an oxalate or other salt while this solution boils without access of air.

Title: An Improved Machine for Making Packets or Cartons and Linings therefor.
Inventor: PARR ALFRED
IPC: B31B7/46
Filed: 1912-07-30
Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 17,673. Parr, A., and Wall, J. July 30. Paper bags, making. -Lined cartons or packets are made in a machine which makes a carton and a lining simultaneously from two rolls of paper or other suitable material and inserts the lining in the carton. Two webs of paper are drawn by means of intermittently - operated draw-rolls 8, 10 from two rolls x, Fig. 5, arranged side by side, and are cut into blanks by a reciprocating cutting and scoring die 19. T h e blanks thus cut and scored are gummed by a pad w that receives both an horizontal and a vertical movement and conveys gum from a roller 33 to the blanks. They are fed to the gumming position by means of rubber shoes 52, Figs. 5 and 10, carried at the ends of arms 50 which are pivoted to reciprocating levers 47<1>. The arms 50 have projections 53 on their undersides which, when the arms are in the position shown in the Figure, engage projections 53<a> on the table and raise the shoes clear of the blanks. On the forward movement of the arms, the shoes drop on to the blanks and push them forward to the gumming position. The blanks are next pushed in opposite directions at right-angles to their previous direction by means of oscillating levers 78, Figs. 2 and 5, the points of which project through a slot in the table of the machine and engage the blanks. Plungers 54 next push them down through moulds or folding-boxes 55 of known construction, and they emerge from the lower ends of the moulds completely folded. The packets thus formed are deposited in pockets or holders 94<1> in an endless chain 95 which runs transversely of the machine. A carton made in one mould 55 is conveyed by the chain across the machine to a position beneath the other mould, where a lining is formed and deposited in it. The chain is moved intermittently by a star-wheel 97, which is operated from the shaft 87 of the cam 89 that oscillates the levers 78. In a modification, the star-wheel is dispensed with and the chain is provided with studs which are engaged by a reciprocating pawl connected with the levers 78. The machine may be adapted to produce two cartons, one of which telescopes into the other.

Blades.-The blades are interlocked with distance-pieces which are inserted near to their final position and locked in a groove in the rotor or stator by rotation or by a key without distortion. In the construction shown in Fig. 2 a tongue b<1> is pressed back from the blade b to engage a notch c<1> in the distance-piece c, which has a reduced portion c<2>. This distancepiece is inserted in the slot and rotated so as to be locked in by the rib a' engaging this reduced portion. In one modification, Fig. 7, a loose pin d is inserted in a slot in a blade and the adjacent distance-piece. In the form shown in Figs. 14 and 15, the distance-pieces c are locked in the groove by a key m engaging grooves in the wheel and the distance-piece. The last-inserted distance-pieces are held by a key which is displaced into a lateral extension o to allow insertion of the blades and distancepieces and then moved laterally to engage these and held in this position by a screw p. A modified means for holding the last-inserted distance-piece comprises a pair of pot-hooks h, Fig. 12, which are opened out to receive a grooved distance-piece g, which is held in position by riveting the upper ends of the pot-hooks by a rivet i.

Granted: 1914-04-17
Abstract: 6583. Rupferberg, B. A., and Ford, S. W. March 17. Husking.-A machine for husking and cracking cohune or like nuts has a casing D, Fig. 1, tapering from the centre towards the circumference and from the inlet towards the outlet. The nuts are fed in at the centre, move outwardly until they wedge in the casing, and are then forced round by revolving beaters B' and guided by circular or spiral grooves D<6> on the casing until cracked. For husking, the casing may be open at the circumference to discharge the husks, and is furnished with pointed tools G', Fig. 4, preferably staggered, and adjustably secured by screws G<3>. Instead of tapering the casing, the amount of projection of the tools may be graduated. Part of the casing may be arranged for husking and part for cracking in a single machine. The nuts are fed from a hopper E by spiral blades C<1> inside the revolving conical sleeve C on the beater hub B. A plate E<1> closes the feed-mouth and has an orifice through which one nut passes at a time. A blade E<3> on the plate E' prevents the nuts from being carried round by the sleeve C. Kernels and shells fall down the outlet D<5> to a separating water-bath F. According to the Provisional Specification, a disk may be employed in the husking-machine instead of the beater arms B', and an annular channel may surround the casing to confine the expelled husks.

Abstract: 12,426. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T.]. July 8, 1912. Drawings to Specification. Semi-automatic exchange systems. - The system described is the same as that described in Specification 15,952/12. A calling subscriber is connected by first and second line-finding switches to an idle first-selector trunk, and thence by a lateral connexion through a distributing-switch to an operator, who enquires the wanted number and writes it down on a key-set, the connexion being then completed automatically through numerical selectors. The connexion is described as passing through two main exchanges, equipped with group selectors, and two ' satellites ' or district offices, at which only line-finders and line-selectors are provided. The claims in the present Specification relate to the arrangements by which an operator at the first main exchange is enabled to control the connecting-operations and to supervise the completed connexion over two-wire trunks which extend between the various exchanges. Another feature relates to a calling-signal which lights up steadily at the supervisory position of a connecting-circuit when a call arrives, and which glows intermittently while the call is being attended to, either by the operator at the supervisory position (described as the ' home ' operator) or by an ' alternate ' operator who can control the connexion if the ' home ' operator is busy. Specifications 20,840/09. 16,867/11, 23,508/11, 16,151/12, 12,423/13. 12,424/13, and 12,425/13 are also referred to.
