Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Sodium Ferrocyanide.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-12-14
Abstract: 29,283. Bloxam, A. G., [Administration der Minen von Buchsweiler Akt.-Ges.]. Dec. 31. Ferrocyanides.-Consists of improvements in the process described in Specification No. 3349, A.D. 1904, for obtaining sodium ferrocyanide from a solution of calcium ferrocyanide. Sodium chloride is added to the calcium ferrocyanide solution, and the liquid is evaporated until sodium calcium ferrocyanide begins to separate. The evaporation is then continued in a vacuum, and at a lower temperature, when the double salt, being more soluble at lower temperatures, redissolves. The liquor is then run off and cooled, when sodium ferrocyanide crystallizes out. The mother liquor is again evaporated in a vacuum until the double salt begins to separate, the liquid being then decanted and cooled, yielding a further crop of sodium ferrocyanide. The mother liquor is then heated till all the remaining ferrocyanide has separated as a double salt, the calcium chloride solution which remains being run off. The sodium calcium ferrocyanide obtained by the water operations is dissolved in water, with the addition of sodium chloride, and sodium ferrocyanide is crystallized out by cooling. A vacuum may be dispensed with, in which case the solution is alternately concentrated by heating to a lower concentration, and then allowed to crystallize.

Title: Improvements in Warping and Beaming Machines.
Inventor: BROWN NORMAN SEDDON
Filed: 1905-04-12
Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 7756. Brown, N. S. April 12. Yarns, warping and beaming; yarns, conditioning.-In warping and beaming machines, the yarns D, on their way to the warp beam, pass over a plain copper conditioning-roller B half immersed in a trough A. A flannel or cloth covered clearer roller C is mounted in vertical bearings beneath the roller B, and is kept in contact so as to rotate therewith by its buoyancy, or by means of a spring, weight, or lever. A guide rail or bar E connected by lever mechanism e, e<1> to the treadle or treadle lever F raises the yarn from the conditioning - roller when the machine is stopped. The lever mechanism is so arranged that the roller B makes several revolutions before the guide E allows the yarn to come in contact with it, so that any waste or fluff on the roller B is first removed by the clearer roller.

Abstract: 15,802. Angstmann, L., and Angstmann, A. Aug. 2. Stuffing - b o xe s, substitutes for. - Difference of pressure and consequent leakage of liquid between the measuring and counting chambers of a meter are prevented by means of air automatically compressed by the liquid to be measured. The casing i is provided with an inlet pipe k and outlet pipe l. Inside the casing is the measuring chamber p, which communicates with the distributing-channel n by passages o. The measuring-chamber is closed by a tight-fitting' ground stopper r which forms a guide for the spindle of the wheel q. The counting-chamber a is closed by a glass plate g and stuffing ring h with india-rubber packing. The chamber a communicates by holes b with an air space c, below which is a space d for liquid, this space communicating with an air-vessel C, Fig. 5, by a tube f, fitted with a plug f The spaces d, c communicate by the tube e, and therefore any pressure that exists in the vessel C is transmitted to the chamber a, wherein a pure liquid which will not corrode the wheels &c. has been placed so as to fill the chamber up to the level x. The volumes of the air spaces z, y, and C (to the level z') are so proportioned that the liquid in the space d is not forced into the chamber a.

Title: Improvements in Mercury Electrolytes for Electrolytic Cells.
IPC: G01R22/02
Filed: 1905-10-10
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 20,500. Hatfield, H. S., and Reason Manufacturing Co. Oct. 10. Quantity meters.-In mercury electrolytic meters, an electrolyte consisting of a double salt, or of two or more salts, is employed. One salt is always a mercuric salt of the following group, namely, HgCl2, HgBr2, HgI2, Hg(CNS)2. The other salt or salts are chosen from combinations of any one metal or radicle more electro - positive than mercury, e.g. ammonium, with an acid radicle of the group Br, I, CNS. The non-mercuric part of the electrolyte is employed in sufficient excess to dissolve any mercuric salt formed at the anode, but the excess should not be sufficient to allow of crystallization at the cathode. The solution preferred is the double iodide ¢ HgI2. 5 KI, expressed in gramme-molecules per litre. The solution is purified, before filtration, by shaking with French chalk and allowing to settle, whereby flocculent impurities &c. are removed. These solutions are applicable for use with iridium cathodes, as described in Specification No. 20,770, A.D. 1905. In the Provisional Specification, further components are described, consisting of Hg(CN)2 and HgS on the one hand, and combinations containing the radicles Cl, CN, S on the other.

The hollow core of the magnet, through which the fuel or steam passes to the non-magnetic casing B<1> and the supply pipe C<1>, then lifts the armature D, which acts as a valve to close the passage through the core. A by-pass valve is fitted in the valve D to prevent the total extinction of the gas &c. burners. The armature D is faced with non- magnetic metal, and is supported by a ring D<1> adjusted by means of the screwed pillar D'.

Title: An Improved Internal Combustion Hot Air Turbine.
Inventor: GHELLI PIETRO
Filed: 1906-10-18
Granted: 1907-10-18
Abstract: 23,123. Ghelli, P., and Cazzani, C. G. Oct. 18. Elastic-fluid turbines.-In a gas turbine, atmospheric air is caused to pass through the following cycle: (1) Isothermal compression; (2) heating at constant pressure in a regenerator ; (3) isothermal expansion in a turbine; and (4) cooling at constant pressure in the regenerator. The heat energy of the combustible gases, corresponding to the work done by the engine, is added during the third stage cf the cycle. The turbo-compressor a, arranged end on to the driving-turbine b to balance end pressure, is provided with a perforated casing s, and annular chambers e<1> from which water is delivered as spray. In this way, heat of compression is absorbed. The compressed air passes through the pipes m of the regenerator, and then through an automatic regulating-valve o to the turbine b. The combustible gases are introduced from the annular chambers e through openings in the casing d, and the temperature is sufficiently high for ignition to be spontaneous. The exhausting mixture of air and combustion products at a high temperature passes by the pipe l to the regenerator, and there parts with its heat to the incoming air contained in the pipes m. The form of the regenerator and the method of transferring heat may be varied. Liquid or gaseous combustible is drawn from a reservoir and compressed by a pump h, and is forced through pipes i in the interior of the regenerator where it is vaporized if necessary, and heated. Its passage from the pipes i to the pipes f, which deliver it to the annular chambers e, is controlled by an automatic valve g, shown in Fig. 2 and also separately in Fig. 3. The throttle valve g' is operated by the governor. The number of openings connecting the chambers e with the interior of the turbine at any point depends on the pressure and the thermal state in that region. The axial-flow, pressure turbines a, b are similar, except that the compressor a is shorter than the other. The shaft of the driving-turbine b is not exposed to the temperature of the working chamber, and may expand freely. The lubricating and cooling of the bearings are effected by forced circulation of oil and water. For starting the apparatus, cocks are provided to close the air and gas pipes, while water is pumped into the air-pipes m until a suitable pressure is obtained. A fire is then lighted in the regenerator at n; and when the working temperature and pressure are reached, the cocks are opened and the turbine acts regularly.
