Abstract: 21,747. Muchka, J. Sept. 19. [Addition to 28,071/09.] Steam pumps.-In the system described in the parent Specification, in which exhaust steam is collected in a chamber and passes thence through a loaded valve into the suction pipe of a pump to condense the steam and heat the water, a by-pass to the atmosphere is arranged so that the steam first forces out the air in the exhaust pipe and the connected passages before passing to the suction pipe. Exhaust steam forces air from the collecting-chamber &c., to the inlet 3 and thence through the passages 16, 15 formed in the stem 7 of the valve 6 to the space below the piston 8, the air finally escaping around the edges of the latter to the outlet 4. When all the air is driven out, the pressure rises and the consequent movement of the piston 8 closes. the passage 16 and, withdrawing the valve 6, allows steam to pass through the nozzle 5 into the suction pipe 1, 2. In a modification, the valve 6 and the piston 8 are formed in one piece.

Title: Process of Treating the Carbonates of Barium, Strontium, Potassium and Sodium to Obtain the respective Peroxides and Oxides or Hydrated Oxides.
Inventor: BOLLO VITTORIO
IPC: C01B15/043
Filed: 1910-10-25
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 24,817. Bollo, V., and Cadenaccio, E. Oct. 27, 1909, [Convention date]. Potassium and sodium oxides and peroxides. -Potassium, and sodium peroxides are obtained by heating the carbonates with a small quantity of iron oxide and carbon or other solid or gaseous reducing-agent. The oxide may be added as such, or ferrous or ferric salt solution may be added to the carbonate, after which iron oxide is precipitated if it has not precipitated directly, or iron carbonate may be precipitated in the mass. The carbon or the like may be added before or after the iron compound. The mass is dried and heated out of contact with air to a relatively low temperature. The mass may be subjected to the action of a continuous or intermittent jet of steam. The reduced iron in the mass acts catalytically on the carbonic acid present producing carbonic oxide and oxygen, which unites with the base to form a peroxide. Further heating destroys the peroxide leaving the oxide. The reaction may be carried out in an electric furnace, in which case an oxide is obtained at once.

Title: Improvements in Controllers for Electric Motors.
Inventor: BENNITT WILLIAM BRABINER
IPC: H01H73/42
Filed: 1911-10-03
Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 21,800. Bennitt, W. B. Oct. 3. Controllers, drum; controllers, actuating- mechanism for.-In controllers consisting of a rheostat drum mounted fast on a spindle and a main circuit drum loose on the spindle, the actuating-mechanism for the loose drum consists of a plate 2 attached to it and driven counterclockwise to move the plate and drum by a pawl 5. The pawl is pivoted to a crank extension 6 on the spindle, and is pulled outwardly by a spring 8 passing over a second crank extension 9. During rotation of the spindle, the pawl engages a stop 4 on the plate 2, which rotates until the main circuit is made, a spring latch 14 hooking, in this position, to an extension 16 of the armature 17 of the no-volt magnet 18. The pawl 5 is released from the stop 4 by a roller 12 on an arm 10, which is pivoted at 11 and pulled down by a spring 13. The roller rides up a slot 3 during rotation of the plate. and effects a sufficient inward displacement of the pawl against the spring 8, to cause a release at the moment at which the latch 14 comes into operation. The latch is released from the armature extension 16 (i) by de-energization of the magnet 18, which allows the armature 17 to rise about its pivot 19 and the extension to fall out of the way of the latch, (ii) by the rise of the core 22 of an overload magnet 23, which pulls up the arm 21 of a bell-crank lever pivoted at 20, the end 25 of the other arm pulling back the latch 14, and, (iii) by the return of the spindle by the operator. In this case, the extension 9 strikes a projecting pin 30, which is forced outwards from bearings 27 by a spring 26. In retreating under the stroke of the extension 9, the pin trips the latch 14. In each case, the spindle must be returned to the starting position before the sequence of switching operations can be repeated.

Abstract: 26,678. Fairweather, W. C., [Marcus, H.]. Nov. 29. Reciprocating sieves.-In apparatus for simultaneously conveying and grading or screening ores, coal, &c., comprising a longitudinallyreciprocated trough a, Fig. 1, the bottom p of which is provided with inclined discharge surfaces b, c, d extending downwards in the direction opposite to that in which the material is conveyed, the discharge apertures e increase progressively in size. To prevent the larger pieces from moving backwards with the smaller pieces, the inclined surfaces may be constituted by the bottoms of a number of discharge channels arranged side by side and each having inclined side walls f, Fig. 2. The channels may be formed by pressing the trough into the shape shown in Fig. 2; or the inclined discharge surfaces may be extended transversely and have wedge-shaped blocks fixed thereon, so as to form intermediate spaces to serve as discharge channels. The inclined surfaces may be curved upwards to avoid retardation of the forward movement of the larger pieces. Fig. 7 shows the inclined surfaces b extending entirely across the bottom of the trough and provided near the apertures e with vertical division walls r. To avoid choking of the apertures, rods q may be arranged below the trough so as to enter the apertures as the trough reciprocates; or jets of fluid may be introduced into the apertures. In another arrangement, the inclined discharge apertures are constituted by plates b<1>, Fig. 9, pivoted on axes t so that their inclinations may be independently adjusted. Dividing-walls u may be secured to the undersides of the pivoted plates b<1> so as to rest normally upon the upper surfaces of the following plates; or the walls may be arranged on the upper sides of the plates so as to form supports for the preceding plates. The plates b<1> are moved into a horizontal position to close the apertures e when it is required to employ the trough solely as a conveyer.
