Patent GB-190808426-A (GB)
Title: A Process for Concentrating Nitric Oxide.
Filed: 1908-04-15
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 8426. Allgemeine Elektricitõts - Ges. April 19, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c Act, 1907]. Nitrogen oxides; nitric acid.-In a process for concentrating atmospherically diluted oxides of nitrogen, the oxides are absorbed in a weak basic oxide, such as oxide of zinc, copper, or lead, and are again separated by heating the compounds obtained to a higher temperature. The oxides may be condensed, or may be absorbed in water to form commercial nitric acid. The heating is effected in iron retorts, and, if desired, may be carried out under reduced pressure. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a process in which the oxides of nitrogen are absorbed in a rare earth, or in magnesium oxide ; this subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1909-11-10
Abstract: 24,133. Fishburn, T. H. Nov. 13. Vacuum cleaning-apparatus.-In apparatus in which type cases, nail boxes, &c. are cleaned by being joggled and simultaneously subjected to pressure and suction blasts, the dust-laden air is filtered and again passed to the pressure nozzles, thus circulating in a closed citcuit. Air from the blower b passes up the conduit b<1> to the nozzles e'. The dusty air passes down between the outer casing a and the chamber c and is sucked through the filter d by the blower. The type case f rests on a tray f<1> which is mounted on balls g and is given a circular motion by two cranks h. A jogging motion is also given by a ball g<1> and rollers j. In one modification, the space above the diaphragm e is divided into upper and lower chambers by another diaphragm e<2>, and the dusty air is sucked off through the nozzles e<3>. A further modification comprises rotating perforated or slotted tubes arranged so as to produce a sweeping blast over the type case. If desired, dampers may be provided, shutting off the pressure discharge and leaving the suction available for use with ordinary collecting- implements for cleaning floors, walls, &c.

Patent GB-190904694-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in connection with Electric Lighting Systems in which Lamps are Arranged in Series.
Inventor: STEARN CHARLES HENRY
IPC: H05B39/10
Filed: 1909-02-25
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 4694. Stearn, C. H., and Topham, C. F. Feb. 25. Lighting systems.-The lamps of a series lighting system are each arranged in parallel with a second lamp, the circuit of which is normally broken by an insulating-device. When one of the lamps fails, the second lamp is placed in circuit by breaking- down the insulating-device by means of an induction coil, which momentarily increases the potential across the lamps. Each of the lamps 3 is placed in parallel with a carbon lamp 4. the circuit of which is broken by an insulating-device 5. The lamps are placed in series with the secondary coil 6 of an induction coil, the core 8 of which attracts an armature 9 mounted upon a spring 10 carrying a contact 11. When one of the lamps 3 fails, the armature 9 is released and the primary winding 7 of the induction coil is placed across the mains. The induced electro-motive force in the coil 6 then operates to break down the insulating- device of the lamp 4, arranged in parallel with the faulty lamp 3. In a modification, the current supplied to the lamps flows only through a portion of the coil 6, while the whole of the coil is employed to increase the potential.

Abstract: 9163. Simpson, W. S., and Oviatt, H. April 17. [Cognate Applications, 10,790/09 and 25,152/09.] Ore and oxide processes.-In a direct process for obtaining iron and steel, a charge containing sodium or other chloride, a silicious material, and a flux, in admixture with an oxide ore, is heated in an open-hearth or other furnace under protection from any oxidizing influence. Carbonaceous reducing-agents are unnecessary. The charge is contained in a retort or other receptacle, and its surface may be protected by a thin layer of carbon or by a jet of producer-gas. In obtaining steel, manganese dioxide and a carburizing - agent are also admixed with the charge; or the carburizing - agent may be initially charged on to the hearth. When using ores containing a high percentage of phosphorus, the charge may be subjected to a temperature of about 1500‹ F. for some time before heating so as to complete the reduction. The process is applicable for the reduction of titaniferous iron ores.

Abstract: 20,244. Walker, A. H., Pearce, H., and Billington, J. E. Aug. 30. Assembling, justifying, clamping, and distributing matrices.-Means are provided for preventing the distribution of an imperfectly justified line, and for facilitating access to the line to enable the operator to insert additional spacers before the line is again presented to the mould. (1) The excessive rise of the justification rods is caused to prevent the first elevator from reaching its highest position, so that the line cannot be removed therefrom, and the machine is stopped. The lower end of one of the justification-rods 1, Fig. 2, carries a bracket 5, in which is mounted an abutment screw 6 adapted to strike one arm 8 of a lever, of which the other arm 9 bears against a slide 11, which is movable into the path of a screw 20 carried by the first elevator 19. The bracket 5 and screw 6 are adjusted so that the screw 6 strikes the lever arm 8 just before the rod 1 reaches its highest position, whereby the slide 11 is projected and the rise of the elevator is curtailed. A handle 22 enables the slide 11 to be pulled forwards by hand when, for example, repeat lines are required. (2) To facilitate access to the composed line without necessitating the lowering of the vise frame, t h e head 27 of the elevator is pivoted so that it may be swung forwards. The member 32 that forms t h e back of the channel in t h e elevator is pivoted to the front member 33, so that it may be swung back as shown in Fig. 4. Another method of facilitating access to the line consists in pivoting the vise frame 15 and its associated parts about a vertical instead of an horizontal axis. The first elevator 19 is not permanently connected to its operating-lever so that, when the vise frame is swung outwards, the elevator is disconnected from the lever, means being provided for supporting the elevator when in this position. The elevator 19 is provided with a rack 67, Fig. 8, adapted to be engaged by a detent 65 connected with the lever 62, which operates the locking-bolts 55, 56 of the vise frame, so that, when the vise frame is unlocked prior to being swung outwards on its pivot, the detent is caused to engage the rack 67 and to support the elevator. Means are provided for maintaining the second justificationlever 79 in operative connexion with the rod 84 that locks the left-hand vise jaw 82. Specification 14,582/90 is referred to.
