Title: Improvements in or relating to the Treatment of Massecuite and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: ROY HENRY
Filed: 1905-05-16
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 10,273. Roy, H. May 16, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Refining sugar.- In apparatus for draining and clarifying massecuite, the mass is subjected to constant stirring over filtering-surfaces, under the action of reduced or increased pressure. The diluted and stirred massecuite, from a pump or charging tank, enters the apparatus through a pipe m and is mixed and fed upwards by a screw v upon a filtering-surface n of perforated metal, over which it is circulated by a stirrer x consisting of a flat iron plate edged with rubber and bevelled to raise the mass. The filtering-surface may be perforated obliquely. The crystals are raised by arms y, inclined to the axis and mounted helically, and pass into a clarifying column 5, where they are stirred by arms 21, 22 and clarified by sugar - syrups supplied through pipes 7, 8, and distributed by revolving circular or annular plates 9, 10, 11, 22. The syrups pass out through filters 15, 16 and pipes 13, 14, or mix with the mother-liquors. The crystals pass into a chamber 6, where they are ejected by an arm z through a pipe p. Compressed or atmospheric air enters through an inlet c, and the mother-liquors pass out by a pipe q. The upper and lower stirring-devices are driven, preferably independently, by worm-gearing. In an apparatus for draining massecuite, the clarifying-column 5 is omitted, and an exhaust pipe under the filtering-surface and a gauge with a strainer at its lower end are employed. When working with a vacuum, connexion with the closed tanks receiving the crystals and the molasses is closed from time to time, enabling them to be emptied.

Instead of employing an insulating-disk to facilitate connecting together the tin-foil strips and to facilitate connecting the tin-foil strips to the inner member u of the sparking arrangement, the wire u is brought into direct contact with the tin-foil k and the two opposite poles n, o, Fig. 4, of the inner rotating member are connected together by means of the piece o<1> of tin-foil.
Patent GB-190700806-A (GB)
Title: Improved Apparatus for Automatically Closing and Opening the Gates or Doors to Elevators, Lifts, Hoists or the like.
Inventor: CHAUDOIR EUGENE
Filed: 1907-01-11
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 806. Chaudoir, E. Jan. 11. Gate-closing apparatus.-Comprises apparatus for automatically opening and closing the well gates and doors of lifts &c. by the movement of the cage, and for locking and unlocking the same by means of the controlling-mechanism in such a way that gates at intermediate floors are not affected as the cage passes them. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the horizontally-sliding collapsible doors 2 are self-opening under the influence of a weight 11 suspended by a pulley 17 in the bight of a rope 12, which is reeved around pulleys 14 on the gates and anchored at each end in the well in a similar manner, according to the Provisional Specification to that described in Specifications No. 3356 and 4116, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Lifting &c.]. The weight 11 is normally maintained raised by a catch 22 integral with the armature 21 of a solenoid 20, which is de-energized when the lift-controlling means is brought to the off position. The catch 22 is then withdrawn by a spring 26 to allow the door at the floor at which the cage is stopping to open. In order to prevent the doors at any of the other floors from being opened, an endless cable 4, connected to the cage and extending the length of the well, is engaged by rollers 9 on the ends of the arms of lazy-tongs levers 7 connected to the doors. The ends of the cable 4 are connected by a cam 3 fixed to the cage, which not only allows the door at the floor at which the cage stops to be opened, but also acts to positively close the door as the cage passes away. The cable 4 may be replaced by telescopic tubes. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, in which vertically-sliding doors closing by their own weight are employed, ropes 28 are connected to the top of each door, and pass over pulleys 30 on levers 32 pivoted at 33 in the well, and are anchored at 31. The doors are prevented from falling by the engagement of rollers 34 on the other ends of the levers 32 with the endless cable 4, and also by catches 35 which engage ratchets 41 fixed to the tops of the doors. The catches 35 are operated from the operating-rope 40a of the lift in such a manner that they are withdrawn by rollers 35<a> which engage cams 38 on a rope 40 connected to the lever 43 controlling the main valve 42 when this valve is moved to the off position. The door is then allowed to fall at the floor at which the cage is stopped by the action of a cam 3, which forms a gap in the cable 4, serving also to close the door as the cage passes away. Further slight modifications are described for use with hinged doors, and with lifts having a limited travel.
