Patent GB-191103116-A (GB)
Title: Improved Process for the Manufacture of Tubular Smokeless Powder.
Inventor: CLAESSEN CONRAD
IPC: F42B5/38
Filed: 1911-02-07
Granted: 1912-02-07
Abstract: 3116. Claessen, C. Feb. 7. Explosives. - Consists in making seamless tubes of smokeless explosives by consolidating the meeting or overlapping edges of the rolled explosive, by means of rollers, or by making the tubes by the Mannesmann's diagonal - rolling process. Explosive sheets or strips made sufficiently plastic by heat are rolled round mandrels and are then taken on the mandrels through heated grooved rollers, the grooves of which are of successively decreasing depth, until a tube of the required dimension is formed. The invention is applicable especially to the explosive described in Specification 29,882/09.

Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 6982. Bozon, R. March 31. Steering and balancing.-The lateral balancing-planes 18, 19 and the rudder 7 are simultaneously actuated by a vertical controlling-vane 15 capable of swinging under the influence of lateral air currents, so as to restore lateral equilibrium and to bring the machine into the air current. The vane 15 is mounted on a spindle 12 carrying a three-armed lever the ends 9, 10 of which are connected by rods 24, 25 to cranks 22, 23 actuating the balancing-planes 18, 19. A crank 13 on the spindle 12 is connected by a link 13<1> to the rudder 7. The third arm 8 of the lever has a slot 8<1> through which passes a lever 4 universally mounted at its lower end. By moving the lever sideways the balancing-planes, the vane 15, and the rudder 7 are moved simultaneously, and by moving the lever forwards or backwards, the elevating- planes 5, 6 are adjusted. The vane 15 is weighted, so that, when the machine tilts laterally, the balancing-planes and rudder 7 are actuated.

Abstract: 21,268. Holzwarth, H., and Junghans, E. Sept. 26. Working-fluid supply.-Combustion chambers 2 are made with wide outlets arranged to provide a substantially straight passage for the explosion products. Pivoted flap valves 9 are situated in the throats of the chambers and are capable of swinging, under the pressure of the escaping gases, completely out of the path of the gases. The valves are mounted in casings 12 which can be removed from the main casing. Each valve is actuated by a spiral spring 11, Fig. 2, secured to one end of the valve spindle 10. A flat piston vane 14 secured to the other end and moving in a segmental chamber 15 ensures steady movement. The areas of crosssection of the outlet at the valve-seat, the narrowest part and the nozzle orifice respectively are in the proportion 4:1:2. The area at the narrowest part is not less than fivethousandths of the quotient of the volume of the combustion chamber divided by the diameter of a sphere of equal volume. The air is passed through the combustion chambers between the explosions, does not pass through all the turbine bladings but is driven by the first ring of blades through radial passages 18 direct to the exhaust.

Abstract: 551. Brandwood, J., Brandwood, T., and Brandwood, E. Jan. 8. Circulating or passing fluids through materials.-Apparatus for dyeing, bleaching, and otherwise treating textile fibres and fabrics upon a perforated beam, by passing through them fluids at a pressure higher than atmospheric, comprises a closed kier A, a fluid inlet or outlet D surrounded by a seat E for the lower end of each beam F, a pressure-applying device over the beam to force its lower end on to its seat maintaining a tight joint, this device being rigid with the kier when in use and removable from over the beam when not in use, and capable of forming a sealing-device for the upper end of the beam. The inlets &c. D are symmetrically spaced in the false bottom C of the kier A. The pressure device consists in a hub G<1> having horizontal spokes G, Fig. 2, and rotating on a central pillar H, Fig. 1. When the spokes are directly above the beams F, screws J are screwed down on the upper ends thereof which, if open, are covered by caps K. The ends of the spokes slide between, and are supported by, brackets g when in use. The pillar H is bolted over a hole L in the false bottom C; this hole can be used for emptying the kier but is normally closed by a valve M governed by a handle M<2> removable with the lid B of the kier A. The treating-liquor is circulated by means of a pump N and pipes N<1>, N<2>. A reserve and regulating tank O, with pipes O<1>, O<2> connecting it with the pumping-system, is employed and an escape pipe A<1> leading from the cover B to the tank 0 permits the total exclusion of air from the operating-plant. A filter plant P may be brought into use for filtering the treating-liquor. One or more closed chambers Q may be employed for forcing air or other gases under pressure through the dyed materials after the liquor has been pumped back to the tank O. If desired, successive treatments of the beams of material with fluids may take place in successive chambers. In modifications: (1) the false bottom C is dispensed with, the liquor distribution taking place through pipes leading to each seat E in the bottom of the kier; (2) two or more beams may be treated in an elongated tank with their axes in the median plane thereof and their heads held down by separate cross-bars.

Inventor: BASSET LUCIEN PAUL
IPC: C01B17/04
Filed: 1913-09-13
Granted: 1914-09-14
Abstract: 20,716. Basset, L. P. Sept. 13. Sulphur.-Sulphur is obtained from gases rich in sulphur dioxide, obtained,. for example from pyrites burners or furnaces for making cement from calcium sulphate, by first bringing the gases into contact with incandescent carbon, whereby a mixture of carbon disulphide, carbon oxysulphide, and carbon monoxide, is produced, and then causing this mixture to react with excess of sulphur dioxide, which is introduced by a separate conduit into a second reaction chamber, yielding sulphur and carbon dioxide. The gases enter at the bottom of a chamber a containing a charge b of, say, coke, which has been raised to incandesence; the products of the reaction pass into a chamber c fitted with baffles d, an excess of sulphur dioxide being supplied by a pipe at the top of the chamber c; the resulting carbon dioxide and vapour of or molten sulphur, together with unused sulphur dioxide, are taken off by the pipe c. Instead of coke, a poor coal or anthracite may be used. The sulphur dioxide is freed, before treatment in the process, from dust or inert gases. The sum of the reactions described above is exothermic, so that after the reaction has started, further heating is unnecessary, if the walls of the chambers are sufficiently lagged; the gases may be heated before entering the chambers.
