Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 2989. Lafontaine, L. M. Feb. 7. Copper, obtaining.-Relates to the extraction and recovery of copper from ores, concentrations, waste, scrap, &c. (1) The electrolyte consists of aqueous sulphuric acid which is first " oxygenated " by suspending barium dioxide in it, and then saturated with copper sulphate, a small amount of a carbon agent, such as lampblack, being finally added. (2) The anodes, consisting of dust, concentrations, &c., mixed with twenty per cent of unslaked lime, are formed in metal frames of a thickness corresponding to that of the baskets in which the anodes are to be contained, and are compressed by a steamheated roller. (3) The electrolyte and anodes are used in a known type of apparatus, in which alternate sheet - copper cathodes and baskets of wickerwork containing the anode slabs are arranged in close proximity. Copper strips are placed upon steps formed along the edge of the vat, and the copper suspension rods of the anodes and cathodes contact therewith. A copper trellis may be embedded in the anode mass during its formation, to serve as a connexion. In the event of the ore, scrap, &c. being simply mixed with lime and filled into the baskets, a rod of copper inside each of the baskets serves as a connexion. In operation, the "oxygenated" electrolyte causes the iron to be precipitated as insoluble ferric oxide. Gold, silver, lead, &c. are precipitated and collected for treatment in the known manner.

Abstract: 6683. Gulpen, M. van. March 20. Cigars; cigarette-making machines; cigarettes.- Relates to a machine for rolling cigars, cigarillos, cigarettes, and the like in an apron and wrapping them spirally with a single cover of tobacco leaf or paper. The machine is characterized by the feature that the frame carrying the pressure roller and the apron guide-rollers is given an oscillatory or shaking motion during its traverse over the rolling-table, during which time the charge of tobacco is subjected to a yielding pressure by a spring - pressed roller. The machine is specially designed for making very short lengths 25, Fig. 7, which are afterwards cemented with putty to long mouthpieces 26. Fig. 2 shows the rolling-apparatus. The tobacco is placed on an apron f in a recess d in the table c. A frame 73 carrying a guiding-roller v, bunching-roller i, and the spring pressure-roller h is swung across the table, thereby rolling the tobacco and applying the wrapper. The machine is actuated by hand or by means of a treadle through a cam 82, Fig. 4, keyed to an axle 10. A spiral spring 79 exerts a pull on the frame 73 through a chain 81. A chain 86 connects the end of the frame to a disk 5 mounted loosely on the axle 10. Secured to the disk 5 is smaller disk 85, and this is connected by a chain 84 to a swinging lever 83. The pull of the spring 79 keeps the roller 6 of the lever 83 pressed against the undulating face of the cam 82, and as the lever is oscillated the chain 86 is alternately paid out and wound on to the disk, thereby traversing the frame 73 across the rolling-table. An eccentric roller 89 mounted on a rotating shaft 11 oscillates a guide-roller 87 and imparts to the frame 73 a shaking motion which facilitates the rolling of the tobacco.
