Title: Improvements in Bleaching Straw by Means of Hydrosulphites.
Inventor: WICKHAM PERCY EDGAR
Filed: 1910-08-02
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 18,297. Wickham, P. E. Aug. 2. Bleaching, processes and materials for. - Straw is bleached with a hydrosulphite in an alkaline bath at a raised temperature, preferably in the presence of a phosphate. In examples: (1) Straw is introduced into a solution of sodium hydrosulphite, sodium phosphate, and soda, and the temperature raised to about 60‹ C.; after a few hours, the bath is cooled gradually, the straw is removed, rinsed, finished in an oxalic-acid bath, and finally rinsed and dried. (2) Straw plaits are washed, placed in a cold bath of the hydrosulphite and phosphate with sodium or potassium carbonate; the whole is subsequently heated to about 40‹ and then to 60‹ C. After cooling, the straw is removed, stoved, and dried. (3) With Chinese mottled plait &c., the treatments described may be repeated once or twice, followed by cleaning or finishing with oxalic acid and potassium carbonate, separately or combined, with excess of carbonate, and dried with sulphur stoving. The hydrosulphite baths should be maintained alkaline

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Loading Apparatus of Heavy Guns.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A9/42
Filed: 1910-10-14
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 23,843. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. Oct. 14. Loading-appliances.-Relates to ramming-apparatus for heavy guns, and consists in an arrangement whereby the loading-cage, as it completes its ascent, automatically starts the rammer motor for ramming the projectile into the gun. The hydraulic motor is controlled by a hand-lever D<1> and valve D<2> on the gun platform in addition to the automatic control valve D<Î> mounted on the loading-arm B<1>. The valve D<Î> is normally locked in the " withdraw " position shown, by a spring bolt D<3>. When the lever D<1> is in the " ram " position, it connects the right-hand end of the valve-casing D<ÎÎ> to exhaust through the flexible pipe d<1>, so that, when the cage C in its ascent withdraws the bolt D<3> by a projection A<1> on the cage lifting a lever d<2> connected to the bolt, the pressure admitted to the valve casing by the pipe d<Î> acts upon the differential areas of the valve D<Î> and moves the valve into the " ram " position. The lever D<1> is afterwards returned to the " withdraw " position, and admits pressure to the valve D<Î> through the pipe d<1>; the valve is thereby moved back again into the " withdraw " position. The rammer may be automatically reversed when ramming the powder charges, by the mechanism described in Specification 20,119/10.

Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 17,354. Giese, K. July 29, 1910, [Convention date]. Cutting and slicing vegetables &c.-A slicing- machine comprises an ordinary blade knife, the handle i of which is pivoted to the sleeve h on the cranked end of the screwed spindle c. In operation, the material is held on the table by one hand of the operator while the crank is revolved by grasping the knife handle. The knife is moved to the left by the screw so that a slice is removed from the material on each down-stroke. To prevent lateral movement of the knife while each slice is being cut, the sleeve h is formed with sloping ends which coact with pins so as to' compensate for the feed motion during each down-stroke. When the limit of travel of the screw has been reached, the lid k is raised, and the spindle lifted out and replaced in its right-hand position. A wedge-shaped bar fixed on the side of the knife prevents the cut slices from adhering to the knife.

The apparatus has an outer drum A which has an inlet D, is mounted on a driven shaft E on a foot-step G, and is provided with sludge and drainage valves I controlled by a handwheel through a lever K, block L, and links M. Within the drum A is an intermediate openbottomed drum N connected by radial arms T and a boss S to a sleeve O driven by gears P, Q from a countershaft R. The top and bottom joints are formed with brass strips and leather or like material to prevent the drums from binding. Inside the drum N is an open-bottomed drum U mounted on a boss W and on arms X on a ring Y loose on the sleeve O. The tops of the drums A, U are connected by pipes Z leading to delivery pipes 1. Scrapers 4 with stays 5 are provided on the inner drum. The sewage or other mixture passes directly and continuously trom a channel to a feed trough 7 into the space between drums N, U through the aperture D. The solids adhere to the periphery and the water passes down and into the drum U, whence it passes up and out of the pipes 1 into the effluent channel. For removing the solids, the doors I are slightly opened and the liquid drawn off into a drain 8. The outer pan is then stopped and the pan N revolved, or the pan N is stopped and the pans A, U are revolved; in either case the scrapers 4 will detach the solids, which pass through the doors I on to hoppers 9, conveyers 10, and elevators 11. The pan N may be dispensed with, in which case the scrapers 4 are attached to the sleeve O. Several separators may be placed in series and in the case of sewage or trade waste, the mixture, with precipitant added if necessary, is passed direct to the apparatus after rough screening.
