Title: Improvements in Bleaching Fibrous Material.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
IPC: D06L1/12
Filed: 1913-06-16
Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 13,902. Bloxam, A. G., [Luftbleiche Ges.]. June 16. Bleaching, processes and materials for.-In the process for bleaching fibrous materials, by treatment with an alkaline liquor, containing a nickel-compound catalyst and into which is pumped air or oxygen, as described in Specification 9369/10, portions of alkali are added to the liquor continuously or in successive doses during the process; or the alkali hydroxide consumed is regenerated by introducing an oxide or a hydroxide of a suitable metal. Care is taken that the insoluble metal compound produced by the regeneration does not come into contact with the goods being bleached. The process is particularly applicable to materials much contaminated with incrusting and colouring matters, such as raw cotton containing many seeds, jute, &c. In examples, (1) cotton waste, i.e. short lint containing many seed husks, is treated under three atmospheres pressure with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate and manganese chloride as before, except that caustic soda solution is regularly pumped into the kier. The material is finally soaped and is found bleached white without loss of strength. (2) In the same treatment as under (1), the oxygen impregnation takes place in an auxiliary apparatus into which is also introduced, gradually, finely powdered magnesia. A filter prevents any magnesia entering the main apparatus. (3) In treatment as under (2) copper sulphate replaces the manganese chloride and milk of lime the magnesia.

The axes 9 are pivoted in the end walls 11. of the drum; as shown in Fig. 5, and are provided with arms 12 having rollers 13, which engage with cam grooves 14. In the second form of the invention, shown in Fig. 6, the walls 15, 16 of the scoops are made straight, and the pushers 7 are reciprocated between them by eccentrics 45 fixed on the axis 6 of the drum.

Actuating by pulsating fluid pressure; diaphragm and flexible-chamber pumps.-Fuel is raised to a carburettor fuel chamber from a tank at a lower lev,el by the suction of an internal-combustion engine. The chamber A is connected to the suction passage E by a pipe H controlled by a double-conical valve F<2>, the lower face of which controls also a passage G leading to the atmosphere. The valve is carried by a flexible perforated diaphragm F<1> which is connected through a rod F<3>, pin F<4>, and slot J<1> to the head B<1> of a flexible chamber B, the interior of which communicates past a valve C<3> with the fuel-supply tank.

Patent GB-191514327-A (GB)
IPC: F42C14/04
Filed: 1915-10-09
Abstract: 14,327. Vickers, Ltd., and North, T. K. Oct. 9. Mines, marine.-Relates to submarine mines having firing-mechanism comprising a spring- controlled striker head connected to a rod in such a manner that it becomes detached during retraction and is then impelled forwards by the spring. When such mines are interconnected by a cable attached directly to the striker rods, the effect of currents produces constant reciprocatory movement, and the stuffing-box through which the rod passes may consequently become worn and allow water to leak into the mine. This objection is obviated, according to the present invention, by providing a spring-controlled member to which the connecting- cable is attached, the member being so connected to the striker rod that the rod will only be actuated by the tension produced by impact of a ship with the cable. The member is preferably connected to its spring by means which become detached after a certain movement has taken place, so that the spring does not impede the firing movement of the member and striker rod. In the construction illustrated, the member B, to which the connecting-cable A<2> is attached, is mounted in a casing B<2> and is controlled by the spring b<1>. The flange upon which the spring b<1> abuts is detachably secured .to the part b of the member B by radial' pins b<2> having pointed ends to facilitate detachment of the flange when the pins are brought opposite to the groove b<3>. The head a' of the striker rod A' may be similarly attached to the rod. The member B engages the striker rod A' by means of the part b engaging a pin a. A stopdevice which is released by the buoyancy of the mine to arm the mine, normally locks the member against movement, and comprises a pivoted arm C<2> connected to the anchor cable C' and carrying a stop C. A block C<4> of sal-ammoniac or other soluble substance retains the stop in position during handling of the mine. The part B<3> of the casing B' forms a.conical container for the mechanism, and the lower portion of the casing B<2> is screw-threaded externally to engage the usual collar A<4> by which the tube containing the detonator and striker is attached to the mine. The casing and its mechanism can readily be attached to existing mines of the impact type in place of the usual firing-lever, the mine casing being inverted when used for connected mines.
