Granted: 1912-07-22
Abstract: 16,866. Taraud, A., and Truchot, P. Aug. 20,1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 9461/11.]. Sulphuric acid.-The gases from the Gay Lussac towers, previous to treatment for the recoverv of the nitrous products, are .submitted to a preliminary washing with water to cool and free them from sulphuric acid, the washing-water being introduced into the chambers. The last traces of sulphuric acid in the gases may be removed by treatment with lime, or carbonate of lime as described in the parent Specification; the nitrous gases are absorbed in alkali solutions, which are returned to the chambers. In the plant shown in the Figure, the gases are washed with water in the tower 1 packed with perforated bricks or stone rings 4, the washing-liquid flowing into a tank 8 and being pumped to the chambers. Washing with water may be continued in a second tower, and the gases then pass into the towers 2, 3, in which nitrous products are removed by alkali solutions.

Title: Improvements in Fluid Pressure Operated Cylinders and Pistons.
Inventor: CRAGGS ROSS VERNON
IPC: F15B15/22
Filed: 1912-01-05
Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 438. Craggs, R. V. Jan. 5. Cushioning reciprocating parts.-Relates to fluid-pressure operated machines of the type comprising a pair of reciprocating pistons with unequal strokes arranged axially one within the other in a piston chamber, their respective stems being adapted for the performance of separate functions, and the head of one piston being provided with an extension adapted to enter a cushioning-recess in the piston chamber. According to the invention, the outer piston is made of a differential type to reduce the expenditure of actuating-fluid, and the inner piston is provided with means adapted, on the admission of pressure fluid, to break any partial vacuum which may have formed in the cushioning-recess, and so ensure the two pistons moving together at the commencement of the outward stroke. The reduced extension e<1> of the outer piston e works in, and never passes entirely out of, an extension b<1> of the cylinder. Openings b<2> in the part b<1> are closed in series during the descent of the piston and so cause a gradual cushioning. The part g<1> of the inner piston which enters the cushioning-recess a<2> is formed with openings s and provided with a spring- controlled lift valve. On the admission of pressure fluid above the piston e, the fluid passes through the openings s, lifts the valve, and so gains access to the cushioning-recess.

Abstract: 2138. Fougner, N. K. Jan. 26. Casting ships. - Comprises improvements in the means employed in the construction of barges &c. of reinforced concrete. A cradle, mounted on rollers running on a slip-way, is constructed of steel beams forming the skeleton for the centering into which the vessel is built. The centering is attached to adjustable transverse frames on the cradle. When built, the vessel is launched by rolling the cradle into the water and allowing the vessel to float out of it. The empty cradle may then be used for another vessel. Longitudinal beams A are connected by transverse channel - bars C, which carry the adjustable half-frames B. The beams A also carry the journals P for the rollers J. The half-frames B are of I-section and carry the planks constituting the outside centering of the vessel. The lower flanges of the frames B slide on the channel-bars C, and between the ends of the frames B are situated anglebars H having filling-strips Q to carry the lower planks O. The cradle is braced by bars D as shown in Fig. 2. Where vessels are provided with a tumble-home, templets are bolted to the frames B and these templets then carry the planks O. When launching the vessel, it is only necessary to remove these tumble-home templets. The bolts used for securing the planks are preferably hook bolts as shown.
