Abstract: 27,515. Thwaites, J. H. Dec. 3. Copper salts ; iron salts and oxides; zinc salts; lead oxides and salts; arsenic acid.-Pyrites cinder, and other low-grade zinc-containing sulphides are systematically lixiviated for the recovery of zinc, copper, iron, lead, arsenic, &c. The cinder is weathered, and occasionally moistened with acidulated water or lixiviation liquor ; or the cinder is roasted with or without common salt. The material is then systematically lixiviated with previouslyused liquor, and then with water. The liquor may be previously oxidized by a current of air. The solution obtained is treated with scrap iron, and copper is precipitated. Treatment with iron may be omitted in the absence of copper. The solution is then concentrated to separate out some ferrous sulphate, which is then recrystallized. The mother liquor is added to the lixiviating-liquor. The rest of the iron is precipitated with zinc hydrate or alkali, either caustic or carbonate, while air is blown through. The ferric oxide is then separated from the zinc salt, and the latter may be precipitated by barium sulphide with the production of lithopone, or it may be treated for metallic zinc. Arsenic, lead, &c. are thrown down in the precipitation process.

Title: Improvements in Stitch Forming-mechanism for Sewing Machines.
Inventor: TRACY HARRIET RUTH
Filed: 1907-03-25
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 7175. Tracy, H. R. March 25. Lock-stitch shiittle sewing-machines; chain-stitching in lock-stitch machines.-Relates to a sewing- machine in which the shuttle or chain-stitching disk engages a loop of needle thread before the preceding loop is cast off. In this arrangement, the thread for the new loop is drawn from the preceding loop so that each loop is taken up by the formation of the succeeding one. The looper, which may or may not carry a thread bobbin, is provided with four loop-taking hooks a, b, c, d, and is rotated three times for four descents of the needle. As shown in Fig. 9, the looper has passed through three-quarters of a revolution by the time the needle is again presenting a loop to it, which is taken by the hook in front of the one holding the last loop. The latter, which otherwise would slip off the looper at this point, is held by a retaining hook 24 until all the slack in the loop is taken up. Chain stitches are thus formed, and if the looper carries a thread, the thread is passed through the loops of the chain-stitch. Fig. 1 shows a construction of the device. The four looper-driving arms 7 are pivoted to a ring keyed on the shaft 1, and are pressed by springs 14 against a cam-surface 9 which moves the arms to and from the looper. The tips of the arms engage small spherical recesses in the looper. The retaining-hooks 24 are carried by the looper, but they may be arranged on the arms 7. Specification No. 22,946, A.D. 1898, is referred to.
