Abstract: 15,673. Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken. Oct. 31, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 14,954/12.] Cartridge belts.-Relates to the machines for filling cartridge belts, described in the parent Specification, and consists in adapting the pin which serves to open the cartridge pockets to produce the intermittent feed of the belt. In the form shown in vertical section in Fig. 2, the gripping-members 8, 19, and 25, and the slide carrying the pin 33 and cartridge carrier, are moved by the rotation of the shaft 2 in a manner similar to that described in the parent Specification, but the lever 13 is incapable of motion parallel to the shaft. A rotation of the shaft 2 from the position shown causes the pocket-opening pin 33 to enter the pocket of the belt 41, which is gripped between the pairs of grippers 8, 19 and 13, 2.5. The grippers 13, 25 are then released, the slide 8 moves with the lever 19 and pin 33 to the right until the pocket is in alinement with the cartridge to be fed into it, when the grippers 13, 25 again engage the belt, so that it is securely gripped on each side of the pocket during the withdrawal of the pin 33 and the insertion of the cartridge. The grippers 8, 19 are then disengaged from the belt, and are moved back with the pin 33 to their initial positions.

Abstract: 29,030. Ruthenburg, M. Dec. 17. Sulphur.-Sulphur dioxide is reduced by being passed through a column of coke or other carbonaceous material heated electrically; the resultant carbon dioxide and sulphur vapour are passed through a condensing- chamber, wherein the sulphur is deposited, the carbon dioxide escaping through a liquid seal to a chimney. The coke is fed from a chamber F through an air-lock apparatus D to the interior of the reaction tower B, and rests therein on a conical base B<1>; it is heated by means of upper and lower electrodes E, B', and, as it is consumed, the ash falls through an annular space B<2> about the cone B<1> into a pit B<4>. The sulphur dioxide passes into the tower through an aperture A at the top, and the sulphur vapour &c. passes out through the pit B<4> and an opened valve H to a set of condensing-tubes G connected by headers G<1> and basal chambers G<2>. After condensation of the sulphur, the carbon dioxide passes through another valve-controlled opening J to a chamber K, wherein it bubbles through a water-seal and escapes up a chimney L. When the condensers G are charged, they are cut out and the vapours &c. sent through a parallel set while sulphur is being removed from the first set through man-holes G<3>.
