Title: Improvements relating to the Treatment of Solid Material with Gas especially applicable for Catalytical Reactions.
Inventor: NAEF PAUL
Filed: 1900-10-12
Granted: 1901-11-12
Abstract: 18,188. Naef, P. Oct. 12. Chlorine. - Relates to the treatment of solid materials with gases, especially applicable to catalytic reactions, such as the manufacture of chlorine by known methods, but also applicable to other processes. Reference is made to the method and apparatus described in Specification No. 20,660, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Gas manufacture]. The invention consists essentially in regulating, by various methods, the temperatures at which the reactions take place. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 several reaction chambers 1, 2, 3 are superposed, the highest having a feed 4. At the bottom, each chamber has a conical part with discharging- arrangements 5 and adjustable doors 6. There are also three superposed heat, adjusters,-heaters or coolers as required. Fresh gas enters the heater 16 at 26<x>, and passes by the tube 7 to the lower chamber, which it leaves by the pipe 13, depositing any dust it may contain in the chamber 19. It is now generally too hot, and is therefore cooled down in the adjuster 17, from which it passes to the chamber 2 by the pipe 8. It leaves the chamber 2 at 14, passing the dust chamber 19, and generally requires to be now heated in the vessel 18, which it leaves by the tube 9 entering the last chamber 3, wherein the reaction is completed, and from which it passes by the outlet 15. The gaseous and solid materials are brought into intimate contact by devices such as rotary rods 20, 22 carrying bells 21, or teeth 23, or horizontal shafts 24, 24<1> carrying cylindrical or semi-cylindrical surfaces 25, 25<1>, 26. Or perforated surfaces and agitator arms may be used. The chamber may be fixed or rotary, horizontal or vertical. The temperatures may be regulated by the gases themselves, that is, when they are too hot for the success of the reaction, they may be cooled down by using them to heat such gases as have become, in another part of the apparatus, too cool for the reaction. The impurities in the gas may be deposited upon the nearlyexhausted catalytic material. Sometimes the gases are passed alternately in one direction and in the reverse direction. The spent catalytic agent employed, such as iron oxide, may be purified by an acid or an alkali, or by both.

Patent GB-190301344-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Weighing and Delivering Machines.
Inventor: BRIAN JOHN
Filed: 1903-01-20
Granted: 1903-09-24
Abstract: 1344. Brian, J. Jan. 20. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to improvements in the automatic weighing and delivering machine described in Specification No. 3068, A.D. 1899. A lever 2 is pivoted to the frame and connected with the hopper door 7 by means of the levers 5, 6, so that, when the rolling weight 4<a> depresses the lever 2, as shown, the door 7 is opened. When the weight end of the beam rises, the lever 2 is released and the gate 7 partially closes, being held by the usual trigger 11, until the proper quantity is fed into the bucket 9, when the beam tilts and the trigger is released from the catch 13, closing the hopper gate. A detent 14, operated by a spring 16 or a weight, prevents the rolling weight from going back when it has advanced over it to the bucket end of the lever, until this end is raised to its full height, when the weight clears the detent. The weight 4<a> also depresses the lever 21<a>, connected with the bucket door 17 through the levers 20, 21 and the toggles 18, the latter being carried by the door and by an arm 19 upon the bucket. The lever 20 is sufficiently weighted to allow the door to close when the beam rises and sends the weight 4<a> back to the weight end. Any convenient toggle or link may be used as long as it is operated by such levers as 21, 21<a>. The detent 14, in the form shown in Fig. 3, may be pivoted on the bucket, and the lever 21 to the frame. When the weight passes over the lever 21<a>, the levers 21, 20<a> are raised, thus releasing the projection 26 on the bucket door from the catch 18<a>. The weight of grain inside causes the door to open, raising the detent through the slot 25, so that its upper end prevents the return of the weight 4<a>. The lever 21<a> is of such a length that the weight 4<a> just clears it when the bucket end of the beam is at its highest point. A modification is described in which the lever 21 is pivoted to the bucket, and in which the weight 4<a> does not pass over the lever 21<a> but strikes against it, as in Fig. 1.

Title: Improved Machinery for Winding Yarns of Fibrous Substances.
Inventor: METCALF AARON
Filed: 1903-04-16
Granted: 1904-04-14
Abstract: 8622. Metcalf, A. April 16. Winding-machines.-T h e tension on the yarn is kept steady and firm, the yarn passmg between rotating rollers and then over guides to the cops, bobbins, spools, &c. The spindles are driven frictionally but are coupled together by bands passing round wharves thereon, and also over a common roller. When winding weak yarns, which require to be wound at a regular speed, an additional spindle is arranged to wind strong yarn and is driven from the common roller. At the parts of the cop of large diameter, extra drag is put on the yarn by frictional devices acting on the common roller. The yarn is drawn at a regular speed from the reel c, Fig. 1, or bobbin by the rollers d, e, and f, the two former of which are driven in the same direction by bevel and spur gearing from the shaft 9, Fig. 1. The rollers f, Fig. 11, are fitted by pins 60 to brackets 61 on supports 62. The yarns pass over fingers on a rod carried by fulcrumed levers q and over the guide r to the spindles b. The latter are connected by friction washers &c. to sleeves t having wharls, which are connected by bands w to a roller common to the whole series. The sleeves tare driven by bevel gearing from the shaft 9. The strap connecting the pulleys y, z, which is normally slack, is tightened by the pulley 5, on the pivoted lever 3, oscillated by the pin 2 on the weighted lever q when the yarn slackens, or at the largest diameters of the cops, drag being thus put on the yarn. The levers 3 may be moved to increase the drag when required. The lever 20, carrying the thread guide r, is oscillated by the inclined piece 23 through the lever 24 and link 25. The piece 23 is raised and lowered by a cam 26. The amount of motion given to the lever 24 is varied by traversing the inclined piece 23 by means of a screw driven by ratchet gearing from the shaft 9. In a modification, spindles b are connected together by light spur-wheels. In another modification, the lever arm 46, Fig. 6, carries the tension rod 65 and is mounted on a shaft 47, to which an arm 48 provided with a brake 49 is connected, and the latter is pressed against the roller x as the thread tightens; or, an arm provided with a pin 50 may be arranged to press upon the frictioning-band 1, Figs. 1 and 6. The brake 49 may be arranged to operate on a disc. In cases where it is necessary to regulate the speed of winding, specially strong yarn is wound on one of the spindles b or on a special spindle driven therefrom, a special delivery spindle being also used. When bobbons, spools, &c. are used instead of cops, they are provided with wharls and have a common roller driven thereby.
