Inventor: HART JOHN ALSTON
IPC: B01F3/04
Filed: 1910-12-17
Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 29,391. Hart, J. A. Dec. 17. Sterilizing liquids.-Apparatus for ozonizing liquids comprises a casing, preferably cylindrical, provided with a large number of wall ports or passages through which gas is drawn or forced in a direction approximately tangential to the inner periphery; whirling currents of gas thus created inside the casing are forced into intimate contact with liquid introduced at or near the walls, and at the same time there is a continual separation of gaseous and liquid particles by centrifugal action. The cylindrical casing a, Fig. 1, is made of thin sheet metal and provided with staggered rows of tangential apertures b, Figs. 7 and 8. A fan (not shown) communicating with a wind trunk c carrying the casing and a receiving-tray h for liquid creates the internal whirling currents of gas, which mix with liquid supplied from apertures, similar to the apertures b, in the base of an annular trough r, or through pipes such as t, Fig. 11, or by means of a rotary distributing-disk k carrying circular vanes which are actuated by the whirling currents, or by means of revolving cages within the casing. Liquid may be supplied also to the outer wall of the casing. Radial blades g are fixed above the trunk to confine the whirling currents to the annular surrounding space. The cover of the casing has a glass inspection plate n. A flange q prevents liquid from splashing into the wind trunk. Modifications are described in which (1) the casing rotates under the action of the whirling currents, or independently thereof, and liquid may be raised for re-treatment from the receiving tray by means of scoops attached to the casing; (2) the casing is surrounded by a volute casing, similar to that of a centrifugal fan, into which the gas is forced under pressure; (3) three or more concentric casings are employed for treatment in stages; and (4) part of a casing is covered by a hood, adjustable if desired, so as to enable different gases or vapours to be treated simultaneously and afterwards mixed. A number of apparatus such as that shown in Fig. 1 may be used in series. The casing a may be made from a thicker plate, in which the apertures are formed by punching, and the edges of the apertures may be thinned to prevent the collection thereon of liquid drops.

Abstract: 30,037. Pierpont, F. H., and Lanston Monotype Corporation. Dec. 24. Single-type composing and casting machines; moulds. - Single - type composing and casting machines, of the kind described in Specification 8633/99 for example, are adapted for casting the spaces in spaced-type matter integral with the type, by the provision of auxiliary means for adjusting the mould operated by special spacing-signals consisting of a character signal and two justification punch perforations. A distance-block A, Fig. 1, is adapted to be interposed between the transfer-wedge 8 and abutment 9, and is operated by one arm of a bellcrank lever D<3>, the other arm of which is connected to one arm of a second bell-crank lever D. A rod F connected with the diecentring lever is provided with a spring- controlled double pawl C adapted to engage shoulders D<4>, D<5> on the levers D, D<3>. Normally the shoulder D<4> lies in the path of the end C<2> of the pawl C, and the distance-block is thus retained in its retracted position. When a spaced type is to be cast, a piston B working in a cylinder B<1> rocks the pawl C and brings its lower end C<3> into engagement with the projection D<5>, as shown in Fig. 1, and the lever D' is operated to raise the distance block A into the path of the transfer-wedge. The cylinder B' is connected by a branch b to a valve mechanism G 'consisting of two piston valves G', G<2>, Figs. 3, 5 and 6, through which pass the conduits controlled by the justification perforations. In the production of ordinary matter, the justification signals are presented successively. Air passes into the valve G by a conduit g, raises the piston G' and so cuts off communication between another air inlet g<3> and its outlet g<4>, and passes to an outlet g<5>. On the presentation of the second signal, air enters the conduit g<3>, raises the piston G<2> and so cuts off communication between the air inlet g and its outlet g<5>, and passes to the outlet g<4>. When a spaced-type signal is presented, air enters the conduits g, g<3>, simultaneously, and raises both pistons. The air passes to the conduit b, and operates the piston B. Valves U, U<1> are provided for cutting-out the valve mechanism when the machine is to be used for composing tabular matter.
