Abstract: 2849. Kreuser, E. Feb. 8. Magnetic separators.-An electromagnetic separator for treating ores is provided with two oppositely-rotating iron cylinders A, A<1>, which are of I- or T-cross-section and are wound as bar magnets. The cylinder A' has flutings on its poles, and the lower cylinder A has its polar surfaces covered with diamagnetic material. The cylinder A' may be mounted vertically above the cylinder A, or in the manner shown in Fig. 1. The shafts B, B<1> are preferably made of brass, papier mÔchÚ vulcanite, or other non-magnetic material, and are formed with terminal discs F, bolted to the cylinders. The cylinder A is driven by means of gearing Z, and drives the cylinder A' by means of a ring D, which rolls upon a disc D' on the cylinder A<1> ; these rings are made of non-magnetic material, and serve to keep the cylinders at the required distance apart ; the discs are removably secured to the cylinders. The ores are supplied from hoppers T, to small hoppers t, whence the ores pass to the magnets ; the hoppers t are fitted with adjustable slides v. The non-magnetic materials are discharged into hoppers E<1> and bags N<1>, the strongly magnetic ores pass along a trough R<2>, and the weaker magnetic ores are discharged along a trough R'. The trough R<2> is adjustably mounted within the trough R', which is also adjustable by means of a rack K and pinion i. In a modification, the lower cylinder is not magnetized, and is not provided with diamagnetic coverings, and, in a second modification, the cylinders are so wound that each has terminal poles and an intermediate pole, which may be larger or smaller in diameter than the terminal poles, for the purpose of dispensing with distance-rings.

Abstract: 8066. Lenner, A. April 18. Oil-lamp burners. -The outer and central air supplies are increased to prevent the flame from igniting except on the top of the wick, thus obviating the smoking which would otherwise ensue when the height of the wick was varied. When the central air supply enters through lateral openings k instead of through the bottom of the reservoir, the current is increased by the use of a hood l, a corresponding increase in the outer air supply being obtained by raising the lamp chimney c' relatively to the holder.
Patent GB-189909360-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Artificial or Cast Marble.
Inventor: GERNAERT JULES
Filed: 1899-05-03
Granted: 1900-03-31
Abstract: 9360. Gernaert, J. May 3. Stone, artificial. - Artificial veined marble is obtained by the fusion and mixture of substances varying in fusibility, or exposed to varying degrees of heat by successive additions in the furnace, or separately fused more or less perfectly before mixing. Thus a mixture of sand, opaline, sodium carbonate, lime, and bichromate of potash heated until the sand is completely fluidified produces a green marble veined with green. A brown marble is obtained by fusing a mixture of sand, sodium carbonate, lime, oxide of copper, and iron filings or iron oxide, scale, or waste. White-veined marble is made by fusing sand, sodium carbonate, and opaline together and adding a fused colouring- material such as oxide of lead or black glass. Decorative covering-plates are made by casting and rolling the composition on tables, and re-heating, smoothing, grinding, and polishing the sheets produced.

Title: An Improved Machine or Apparatus for Straining or Grading Paper Pulp.
Inventor: TORRANCE THOMAS
Filed: 1900-05-15
Granted: 1900-07-07
Abstract: 8963. Torrance, T., and Howell, J. H. May 15. Strainers.-The pulp is supplied into the upper open end of the apparatus shown in Fig. 4, and passes through apertures v into the annular space between an inner casing L and a ring of vertical rollers H, which are oscillated on their axles so as to cause the pulp to pass between them. The rollers carry at their upper ends segmental wheels which engage with an oscillating toothed ring N mounted on ball bearings and operated by a crank and connecting-rod R &c. Alternate rollers are made of smaller diameter than the others, so that the spaces between the rollers may be regulated by removing alternate rollers and substituting others of different diameter. The pulp which has passed between the rollers follows the course indicated by the arrows between the rollers H and a casing F, and between the latter and an outer casing A to the discharge aperture A'. The coarse portions of the pulp, which cannot pass between the rollers H, collect in the well C and inner chamber L. This chamber is provided with a reciprocating piston V, fitted with ball valves m<1>, which agitates the pulp in the chamber and forces the lighter portions thereof through a valve plate S into the open upper part of the apparatus, where it is mixed with fresh pulp and again passed through the apparatus. The heavier and more impure portions of the pulp in the well C are forced by the reciprocations of the piston V through suitable valves X, Y to the beating-apparatus, to be further beaten and again supplied to the strainer. A second row of apertures may be provided above the apertures v, and the open end of the strainer may be fitted with a dome-shaped distributing-plate.

Figs. 1 and 3 show a surface formed of a helically-wound wire or strip 1 upon an annular pneumatic or liquid pressure cushion 2, on a cylinder 3 in which cushion pressure may be produced in a suitable manner. The strips 1 may be of square or round section. Rollers 7 are provided to prevent the cushion and strip from bulging out of place, as they are pressed on to the forme 10. In a modification, the impression surface is formed by a helically-wound flat strip, or a set of rings, placed on edge and forming a cylinder, rollers such as 7 being used therewith. Fig. 12 shows an arrangement in which a number of separate fluid pressure bags or cushions 6 are used, in which case the rollers 7 might be dispensed with. The strips 1, Fig. 12, may be sinuous or corrugated strips placed on edge, such as are described in Specification No. 12,981, A.D. 1900.

Abstract: 13,377. Abel, C. D., [Akt.-Ges. f³r Anilin- Fabrikation]. July 1. Dyeing.-Forming azo dyes on the fibre. New disazo dyes which dye cotton directlyand contain in the first position an alkyl ether of 3 : 6-diamidop-chlorophenol, in the second position one of Cleve's acids, and in the third position #1-naphthol- #3-sulphonic acid, are produced by the following processes :-(1) The methyl ether of 3-amido-6- acetylamido-p-chlorophenol is diazotized and combined with alpha1-naphthylamine-#3-sulphonic acid, the product is again diazotized, the diazoazo derivative is combined with #1-naphthol-#3-sulphonic acid, and finally the acetyl group is split off by digesting with soda lye. The dye yields on cotton greyishviolet shades, and on rediazotization on the fibre and combination with #-naphthol very fast reddish indigo-blue shades are obtained. (2) An isomeric dye is obtained by substituting in the foregoing process the diazo compound of the methyl ether of 3-nitro-6-amido-p-chlorophenyl and by reducing the nitro group in the final stage by sodium sulphide. This dye yields on cotton reddish-grey shades, and when developed in the fibre with #-naphthol it yields fast reddish indigo-blue shades.
