Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Making Mosaic Floorcloth of Rubber or like Material.
IPC: D06N7/00
Filed: 1914-04-14
Granted: 1915-02-11
Abstract: 9195. Bertrams, Ltd., and Gillespie, R. F. April 14. Mosaic fabrics; calendering and pressing. - Relates particularly to the manufacture of mosaic floorcloth the tesserµ of which are formed of rubber. A suitably coated backing-cloth 10 is carried by an endless ban'd of carding cloth 13 between tesserµ-cutting rolls 2 and rolls 12. Rubber to form the tesserµ is supplied from rolls 3 and, after passing round a roll 17, is gradually pressed upon the cutters of the cutting-roll 2 by rolls 18, 19 and finally pressed fully into the cutters by a rubber-surfaced roll 15. Any slight divergence of the edges of the tesserµ is removed by a stationary or reciprocating cutting-blade 35, Fig. 6, against which they are slightly pressed by the action of a cam-piece 36 on the ejecting-plungers. A rotating roll 27 having recesses 28 causes the ejection of tesserµ not required for the pattern, and these are removed by a doctor 30 and conveyer 29, Fig. 1. A cam-surface 37, Fig. 6, presses the remaining tesserµ to be used in the pattern against a bar or roller 38 to smooth their surface. A bar or roller 31 then forces these tesserµ on to the backing 10, upon which they are held by pins of the carding cloth which project through it. A bar or roller 32 presses the ejecting-plungers against a roller 33 revolving in a bath 36 of suitable cleansing and lubricating fluid. The fabric, after the pattern has been formed, - leaves the carding cloth, passes between preliminary calendering-rolls 40, and round a heated cylinder 20, with which it may be pressed in contact by an endless band 21. On leaving the cylinder 20, the fabric is submitted to further pressure against it by a roll 23, and then passes between final calendering-rolls 24 and edge-trimming disks 25 to a receiving-roll 26, The fabric is finally vulcanized.

Title: Improvements in the Electrolytic Recovery of Zinc from Ores and other Zinc-bearing Materials.
Inventor: TAINTON URLYN CLIFTON
IPC: C25C1/16
Filed: 1915-08-05
Abstract: 11,335. Tainton, U. C. Aug. 5. Zinc, obtaining and depositing; electrodes.- In applying a process of the kind described in Specification 7235/11 to the extraction of zinc from ores and like materials, the electrolyzed solution is divided into two parts, one of which is neutralized with zinc ore; the two parts are then mixed and re-electrolyzed. Initially, the zinciferous material may be treated with sufficient sulphuric or other acid to take up all the zinc and give a neutral solution, which is separated and mixed with more acid. The solution may then contain 140 grm. of zinc and 50-300 grm. of free sulphuric acid per litre. Electrolysis is then effected at a high current density, say 50-1,000 amperes per sq. ft.; 60 grm. of zinc per litre may thus be removed. A quantity of solution containing the same total amount of free acid as the original electrolyte is then set aside, and the remainder used for lixiviating fresh material as before. A small addition of ore may be made when neutralization is practically complete, to precipitate iron. After decantation, or filtration preferably while hot, the solution is added to the acid solution previously withdrawn, and the mixture electrolyzed, the process thus being cyclic. If acid is retained by the ore, roasting should be regulated so as to leave in the ore sufficient sulphate to keep the total acid constant. Instead of adding a colloid, silicic acid formed from the ore may be utilized. Any manganese dissolved is precipitated as dioxide at the anode, and may be removed from the solution. The metal may be directly deposited as a protective coating on iron. If zinc is required in the form of solid metal, the cathode may be of aluminium, oiled or blackleaded copper, or other material from which the deposit is readily detached. Sheets of zinc foil may also be used as cathodes and melted down with the deposit; or iron or other comparatively refractory cathodes, after receiving the deposit, may be dipped in molten zinc or zinc chloride.
