Title: Improvements in Revivifying Oxide of Iron and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: GLOVER SAMUEL
Filed: 1906-11-17
Granted: 1907-11-16
Abstract: 26,039. Glover, S., and Glover, T. Nov. 17. Purifier waste, revivifying.-Ferric oxide which has been used in gas purification is revivified by treatment with air and steam while caused to fall in a succession of streams in a revolving drum. A suitable apparatus comprises a revolving drum A, slightly inclined, and provided with a brick lining C with inwardly-projecting blocks C<1>, preferably arranged screw-wise, for raising the oxide and dropping it in streams. Steam and air are delivered by means of pipes D along the bases of the projections C', or by a pipe led along the axis of the drum or otherwise. The oxide is raised from the hopper E<1> by the elevator E and conveyed through an inclined conveyer G and a feeder F to the drum A, from which it again falls into the hopper E'. The drum may be provided with scrapers.

Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 5875. Mumford, W. March 11. Trousers are made with the front and back parts substantially alike, each having a fly-part or opening, with the object of making the garment reversible. Four pieces of cloth are employed, cut out to the shape shown by the full lines in Fig. 1, which are drawn with reference to the dotted lines denoting the shape of the front and back pieces of ordinary trousers. The lines of the pattern can be altered to allow for variations in shape. Fig. 2 shows a pattern obtained directly from measurement according to rules given in the Specification. -Extra measurement is allowed around the waist, and is taken in by folding the upper corners at the back, as shown in Fig. 4 ; or by overlapping with a strap 20, Fig. 5, the overlapping being alternatively at the side ; or, according to a preferred method, by placing an horizontal strap as shown in Fig. 6, with a vertical strap attached to it and to the top button of the fly-part, for the purpose of adjusting the seat. The. straps are detachable and are changed over when the garment is reversed. The fly-parts at the front may be made as shown in section at 16, 17, 18, Fig. 3. The top parts may be permanently joined for a few inches. The pockets may be made with shifting suspenders to change their positions on reversing.

Elastic-fluid turbines.-Exhaust steam from highpressure reciprocating engines, steam-hammers. &c., is utilized in a low-piessure steam generator supplying steam to a turbine. A vessel a is supplied with feed-water through a pipe a<1>. A boiler b works at or about the pressure of the exhaust to be utilized, and is heated by waste gases or otherwise. The steam spaces in the vessels a, b are connected by a pipe e, and the water spaces by a pipe h controlled by a cock h<1>. A low-pressure turbine c is connected to both vessels by pipes f, f<1>, g, a cock f<2> controlling the pipe f The water in the vessel a is heated by exhaust steam introduced below the surface of the water by a pipe d. Any steam remaining uncondensed may flow through the pipe g to the turbine. The use of the pipe g is optional; if not used, the steam from the vessel a passes through the pipe e to the boiler and thence to the turbine. In a modification, the apparatus is made sufficiently strong to permit high-pressure steam to be raised when the supply of exhaust steam is not available. In this case, the turbine is made with high-pressure stages that normally run idle.

Abstract: 2766. Parsons, H. Feb. 7. Reversing-gearing.-Relates to reversing-gearing for motor-boats &c. of the class in which driving and driven shafts are in line and the reversed drive is through a countershaft and toothed and chain gearing. The driving-shaft b, which is supported at its end b<1> in the driven shaft c, has a square or like part on which there slides a double claw clutch e. For the direct drive, the clutch e is slid to the right into engagement with a clutch c<3> rigid with a spur-gear c<2> and the shaft c. When the member e is slid to the left, it engages a clutch i<1> secured to a sprocket-wheel i loose on the shaft b.

The clutch e and the gear h are traversed together in opposite directions by a lever k, pivoted between the shafts b, f and operated from a handle outside the casing A. In forward driving, the gear h does not rotate, and on reversing, the gear h comes into mesh with the rotating gear c<2> before the clutch e engages the clutch i<1>. The shaft c is provided with ahead and astern ball thrust bearings m, m<1>, respectively.

The conduction of heat from the burner to the lower part of the wick-tube 12 is prevented by a heat-diffusing rib 15 and by an insulating cup or mount 14, by which the burner is supported upon the ring 11 of the reservoir 10. The mount 14 may be made of (1) non-conducting material, such as fibre, porcelain, steatite, &c., (2) metal with internal heat-diffusing ribs, (3) partly of non- conducting material and partly of metal, or (4) non-inflammable material, such as an agglomerate of wood with magnesium or other oxychlorides. The upper and lower part of the metallic wicktube 12 may be insulated by a shoulder formed on the cup 14, or the lower part of the metallic wicktube may be replaced by a non-conducting tube formed as an extension of the non-conducting cup. The heat-diffusing rib 15 may be mounted above instead of within the cup 14. The extinguisher for closing the nipple 22 uomprises a cap 21 carried by a pivoted lever 19, the tail'end of which engages with'the end of a rod 18 until it is released either purposely or by the des cent of the float 16 on the consumption of the liquid combustible in the reservoir. Fig. 4 shows a modification 'in which tue burner is arranged to project as little as possible above the cup 14, and when the part 28 is made detachable from the part 26, the latter is made of pure red copper, which retains a constant degree of conductivity whatever the length of time it may have been in use.
