Abstract: 20,036. Reader, C. L. de W. Sept. 4. Surface treatment with liquid or semi-liquid materials.-Consists in providing apparatus for spraying viscous materials such as tar, molasses, and heavy oils with an arrangement for heating the liquid, comprising steam - pipes c<2>, c<3> passing through straight lengths of tubing h<2>, h<3>, forming the liquidconduit. The tank a containing the liquid may be heated by steam flowing through the coil b, the passing of steam being controlled by cocks d, e, so that it may pass through the pipes c<2>, c<3> or through the pipe f to a steam-trap, or to other uses. The liquid is led from the tank a through straight lengths of pipe h, h<1>, h<2>, h<3>, h<4>, to an injector or atomizer g, to where steam or compressed air may also be led. At the ends of the sections h<2>, h<3>, glands k through which the steam-pipe passes are provided in order to allow for the expansion of this pipe. The liquid may be sprayed on to a flat sheet s of the kind described in Specification 19,952/13, [Class 69 (iii), Spray-producers &c.]. Cleaning- plugs l are provided in certain sections.

Granted: 1915-01-07
Abstract: 1710. Brooks, W. M. Jan. 22. Hasp fastenings; hook fastenings.-A fastening for tightening straps, or for securing trunks together or to the roofs or carrier grids of motor-cars, or for securing the lids of boxes, comprises a lever a connected at c to one part A and a link e connected at h to the other part B and pivoted eccentrically to the lever a at d. The two parts are drawn together by turning the lever a, the pivot d passing beyond the line through the fulcra c, h, and a recess e' in the link e engaging the fulcrum c. In the arrangement, Fig. 1, for connecting two trunks together, the link e is detachably connected to a stud h on the part B by means of a slotted plate g<1> on an adjustable arm g mounted in trunnions f, and the lever a is detachably connected to the stud c on the part A by means of a slot b. Alternatively, the link e may be provided with an inclined slot adapted to be put into engagement with the stud h, and the lever a may be permanently connected to the part A. In the modification, Figs. 7 and 9, the fastening is adapted to be locked in the closed position by means of a key. The link e is permanently pivoted at h to the body B of the box and the lever a is detachably connected by means of a slot b to the stud c carried by a lock casing j on the lid A.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Testing Gases.
Inventor: NIES ERNST
IPC: G01N7/04
Filed: 1914-02-14
Granted: 1915-07-01
Abstract: 3885. Nies, E. Feb. 15, 1913, [Convention date]. Gas analysis.-In apparatus for the analysis of gases, such as flue gases from a furnace, gas is drawn off throughout a given period, say a stoking operation, and passed into a series of containers, the number of these corresponding with the number of constituents to be estimated in the gas; each separate quantity of gas is then led through a reagent which absorbs a given constituent, and the non-absorbed portions are measured. In the apparatus shown for testing flue gases, three bells d, d<1>, d<2>, of equal size, are connected by branch pipes c, c<1> c<2>, to a pipe a leading from the flue, and dip into a non - absorbent liquid, for example water covered with a layer of paraffin, in a vessel e. The vessel e is suspended from a drum driven by clock-work h In operation, the cock b on the pipe a is opened, and the vessel e is raised to its highest level to drive out the gas present; the vessel is then allowed to fall slowly during the given period, so that equal amounts of gas pass into the three bells; when the period is ended, the cock b is automatically closed, and the cocks k, k<1>, k<2>, on the pipes i, i<1>, i<2>, leading from the bells, are opened, and the vessel e is again drawn up so as to drive the gas through the reagent-vessels l, m, n, o; the gas from the bell d passes through non-absorbent liquid in the vessel l, the gas from the bell d' passes through potash lye in the vessel m to absorb carbon dioxide, while the gas from the bell d<2> passes first through potash lye in the vessel n and then through pyrogallic acid in the vessel o to absorb oxygen. The gas from vessels l, m, o then passes to measuring-vessels q, q<1>, q<2> , respectively, which contain non- absorbent liquid and are connected to a pressure vessel t. The levels of liquid are read off on scales u, or are registered on a band x by rods w, w<1>, w<2> connected to floats v, v<1>, v<2>; from the readings the average amounts of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in the gas during the test are ascertained.
