Title: Improvements in and relating to Evaporators, Condensers, and the like, for Producing Fresh Water from Salt or Impure Water.
Inventor: BLAIR DAVID ALEXANDER
Filed: 1899-10-06
Granted: 1900-08-25
Abstract: 20,062. Blair, D. A., Blair, J. B., and Baillie, R. Oct. 6. Distilling water; condensers; stills.-Relates to condensers, e v a p orators, and the like for producing fresh water from salt water or impure water. Fig. 1 shows a vertical section, and Fig. 2 an elevation, of an evaporator with the invention applied to it, but the invention is applied similarly to a condenser. Fig. 10 shows a vertical section, and Fig. 11 a horizontal section of a modification. In the lower part of the separator A is placed a series of horizontal helical double coils B, B', which form the heat-transmitting surfaces of the a p p a - ratus, the upper coil B serving as the inlet and the lower B<1> as the outlet, and there may be any desired number of coils in parallel lines over each other. If low-pressure or secondary steam is used, each double coil is independent of the other coils, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, but, if highpressure steam is used, each vertical tier of coils is connected together in series as shown in Fig. 10, so that the steam passes successively through them from the highest to the lowest. If the inlet coil B is near the supply pipe C<2>, the corresponding outlet coil B<1> is at a distance from the exit pipe C<3> and vice versÔ; this arrangement is made to ensure an equal distribution of the steam. The coils are attached at their ends to the door D, or to its casing, by means of pipes or ports C with cast-on flanges c which are bolted to the door D, or on a frame d, Figs. 10 and 11, through which the steam passes from the inlet or outlet branch or valves. The ends of the coils may be expanded into the hollow frame d. Lifting-gear is provided for preventing the coils and the door or frame from tipping or tilting over and jamming when inserting or withdrawing the same. The gear consists of a lifting-bolt a<3>, which is passed through two shackle couplings a<3> on the door or frame, and is tightened up by a nut on the lower end, but is free to revolve so that the coils and door can be turned round sideways after they have been drawn out from the vessel A. The upper end of the bolt a<2> is supported and guided by pulleys b, b<1> from and on a rod (or rods) a, which slides in a tubular casing a' fitted across the vessel A. A bolt e drops into a notch a<4> to prevent the rod a from being drawn out too far and from revolving when the coils are being turned sideways. In the modification shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the coils B, B' are secured to a frame d, which is hinged to radial arms d', which are also pivoted at d<5> to the hinged door d<2> so that, when the door d<2> is opened, the arms d' keep the coils in position. The pipes C, C' are provided at their junction with the main supply and exit pipe respectively with joints which are broken when the door is opened. These joints, which are screwed or otherwise drawn up tight, are in line with the door joint, but are separate and independent of it.

Title: Improvements in Rivet Making Machines.
Inventor: BRIGHT FRED EUGENE
Filed: 1901-01-02
Granted: 1901-06-15
Abstract: 150. Bright, F. E. Jan. 2. Making rivets.-A machine for making rivets from a heated bar has a carrier j, Fig. 4, reciprocating at right-angles to the axis c of a turret b. The front end of the carrier has a semicircular pocket x, into which the bar is fed at rightangles to the carrier till it butts against a gauge slide covering one end of the pocket. The front of the pocket is covered by a slide 1, which, together with the gauge slide, is supported by a block 2 yieldingly mounted on the carrier. The block 2 is held from travelling to the outward (left) position of the carrier, allowing the bar to be easily inserted. During the forward movement, the bar is gripped and sheared by a blade on the open end of the pocket, the carrier moving forward till the blank is in alignment with a hole in a stationary plate d, Fig. 7, in front of which is the turret b. The turret is provided with a ratchet feed and locking-bolt, operated from the machine, and carries a number of dies 19 which come successively opposite apertures in the plate d. When the blank is in alignment with the plate aperture and one of the dies, corresponding to the-position 20, the blank is pushed into the turret by an inserting-tool 13 on a slide 10. A beading-tool 12, also on the slide 10, upsets the head while the sheared end is held up by a plunger 37 (shown in dotted lines). The spring mounting of the block 2 allows the carriur to commence its return stroke while the blank is being inserted, after which the cover slide 1 and the gauge slide are raised to allow the block to return while the heading operation is effected. The next two steps of the turret bring the shank end of the rivet successively opposite apertures in the plate d, corresponding to positions 24, such apertures being connected to a water pipe 25 for cooling the shank. At the next position 21, the rivet is ejected by a rod 23 on a slide 42. The three following positions 26 allow the die to be cooled and cleaned by a further supply of water. The last position 52 of the cycle allows the die to be oiled by an oil swab 14 carried by the slide 10 and supplied from a receptacle 53. A step movement is given to the turret at each revolution of the driving-pulley, which is mounted on a crank shaft driving the slide 10 and the carrier j, so that a finished rivet is produced at each revolution. Spring brake blocks 28 check the movement of the turret. The plunger 37 and heading-tool 12 are each adjustable longitudinally on their slides, the heading-tool being also adjustable vertically and laterally.

In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the bowl c is enclosed by a casing b, which is divided by a horizontal partition a into two water chambers A, B. The upper chamber A communicates with the bowl by openings h, but is rendered airtight by a valve m, so that water only escapes into the bowl when the valve is opened. Pipes o extending into the chamber B communicate with a series of openings g, through which water can be forced by an elastic ball k, a pipe j from which leads into the lower chamber. The ball k also serves as a suction pump for discharging water through a tap q. The basin is fitted with a waste pipe d, which leads into a receptacle f. The waste pipe is closed by a plug e when it is desired to use it as a wash-bowl, and is fitted with a loose net to catch drawn teeth &c. In a modification, the tubes o communicate with the upper chamber and the water is driven through them by compressed air supplied from a reservoir underneath. In this arrangement the lower chamber serves only as a storage tank. The basin may be fitted with a removable lining to facilitate cleaning. According to the Provisional Specification the receptacle f is mounted on rollers to facilitate emptying.

Title: The Manufacture and Production of Acylated Derivatives belonging to the Indigo Group.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1901-05-10
Granted: 1902-04-17
Abstract: 9774. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. May 10. Dyes, artificial. - Monoacylated derivatives of indoxylic acid or indoxyl are produced by a moderate action between indoxylic acid, indoxyl, or a salt of either, and acetic anhydride, acetyl chloride, benzoic anhydride, benzoyl chloride, or similar acid derivatives. When an indoxyl salt is used, the product is a new acylated indoxyl, which is insoluble, or difficultly-soluble, in cold dilute caustic alkali ; but, when free indoxyl is employed, known acylated indoxyls, which are soluble in the aforesaid reagent, are produced. As initial materials, indoxylic acid salts such as those described in Specification No. 10,509, A.D. 1890, and mixtures containing indoxylic acid salts and indoxyl salts, obtained as described in Specification No. 9291, A.D. 1894, may be employed. An example is given in which the sodium salt of monacetindoxylic acid is produced from a melt containing sodium indoxylate and caustic soda by nearly neutralizing the mixture with acetic acid or other suitable acid and gradually adding acetic anhydride to it while it is cooled by ice, and in an atmosphere free from oxygen. The mixture is filtered to separate indigo and acetindoxyl, and sodium acetindoxylate is precipitated by addition of sodium acetate. Alternatively, dry indoxylic acid may be acted upon by acetic anhydride alone or in benzene solution. The free monacetindoxylic acid is precipitated upon acidifying solutions of its alkaline salts with hydrochloric acid. Other examples are given in which the products are :-(1) A mixture of monacetindoxyl (soluble in alkali) and monacetindoxylic acid ; (2) a mixture of a new monacetindoxyl (insoluble in alkali) and monacetindoxylic acid ; (3) monacetindoxyl soluble in alkali ; and (4) a new monacetindoxyl insoluble in alkali. In a similar manner, propionyl and benzoyl derivatives may be produced.
