Title: Improvements in or relating to the Treatment of Manganese and Chromium Ores containing Iron.
Inventor: RUTHENBURG MARCUS
IPC: C22B1/02
Filed: 1909-03-18
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 6529. Ruthenburg, M. March 18. Treating ores to facilitate concentration. - Manganese and chromium ores containing iron are treated for the production of enriched ferro-manganese ore and ferro-chrome ore containing little or no carbon, by passing through them reducing-gas which has been pre-heated to 1000‹-1200‹ C. The ore is preferably in the form of small nuggets. The gases permeate the nuggets and effect the reduction of the iron in the low-grade ore nuggets, i.e. those in which iron predominates. The iron in the highgrade ore, i.e. that in which the chromium and manganese predominate, is almost unaffected at the temperature employed. The nuggets are then passed through rolls to break away any adhering silica &c., and are then treated in a magnetic separator, the low-grade and magnetic ore being thereby separated from the high-grade non-magnetic or weakly magnetic ore.

Granted: 1912-02-14
Abstract: 1074. Berry, A. F. Jan. 14. Resistances.-A heater consists of a wire wound on an insulating carrier e, such as mica, and enclosed between metal plates arranged so as to relieve the bends of the wire of pressure. For this purpose, one or both of the enclosing plates a, b, Fig. 1, may be recessed at the parts c where the bends occur, the recesses being partly filled with enamel. The carriers may be in the form of quadrants, strips, disks or rings, and the recesses may be concentric. In another arrangement shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the plates are not recessed, but a sheet of mica h, or a sheet in sections, is placed on one or both sides of the wire between the wire and enclosing sheets of mica, the sheet h being of less diameter than the enclosing sheets f, g, and perforated at i where the bends occur, and also at j to allow for expansion of the wire. The lower plate may be provided with a rim m of greater thickness than the rest of the plate, to conduct heat to the upper plate. Packing may be inserted between the edges of the plates to ensure a good joint. This may consist of a metal strip with a single fold, or with a double fold n<1> as shown in Fig. 8, and the strip may extend into the space between the plates so as to collect and transfer heat to the upper plate. The strip may also be formed with a guard-ring n which retards cooling of the rim on the lower plate. This ring may be highly polished and may be separate from the joint, the upper edge being in this case forced into a groove in the upper plate. The coacting surfaces between the plates may be of conical shape. The packing may be sweated in position, and may be in the form of flat metal rings. The plates may be perforated or of skeleton form. Specification 24,813/09 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Breech Mechanism of Guns.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
IPC: F41A3/08
Filed: 1911-02-10
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 3408. Schneider, E. Feb. 10. Ordnance breech mechanism, screw type. Consists in an arrangement of the screw-threads on the breech-block and in the breech, such that, when the breech is closed, a clearance x, Fig. 3, is left between the front faces a<2> of the breech-block threads a and the rear faces b<2> of the breech threads b. The stem a<3>, Fig. 1, of the breech-block A screws into a nut d, the screw of which is of smaller pitch than the screw a. The nut is free to slide a limited distance in the breech-block carrier e and is acted upon by a spring g, but rotation is prevented by a key f. When the breech-block is rotated out of the locked positon shown in Fig. 1, the faces a', b<1> of the threads remain in contact, under the action of the spring g, until the nut d has moved rearwards the distance y, that is for about one-sixteenth of the total unlocking rotation. No further rearward movement of the nut being possible, the continued rotation causes the engaged faces a', b<1> of the threads to separate on account of the difference in the pitches of the screw of the nut d, and the screw a. Wear is thus reduced and the breech is opened more easily. The threads a, b do not re-engage until the last sixteenth of the closing rotation is reached. An externally-screwed sleeve may be substituted for the nut d, and, in a further modification, the screw of the nut is of the same diameter as the screw a, though of lesser pitch, and the spring g acts in a forward direction upon the nut. The initial unscrewing is unaccompanied by any longitudinal movement of the breech-block, so that the threads a, b are separated while the nut d is moving forwards in the carrier e. Rearward motion of the block A commences in this case when the forward motion of the nut d is stopped.

Title: An Improved Machine for Delivering Measured Quantities of Liquids.
Inventor: MEISCHKE-SMITH WILLIAM
IPC: B65B3/30
Filed: 1911-02-16
Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 3982. Smith, W. Meischke-. Feb. 16. Fixed-chamber apparatus with several chambers; varying quantity measured.-In a machine for filling cans with petroleum &c., the capacity of the measuring-chambers is varied to compensate for variations in the density or temperature of the oil, so as to obtain delivery of equal weights. Within each chamber 1 is a drum 2, one end 3 of which is movable and is screw-threaded upon a shaft 4 so that, when the shaft is rotated, this end is moved. The drum is attached to the chamber by a bolt 7, which may be released to allow the capacity of one chamber to be varied independently of the others. The capacity of the chambers may also be adjusted by altering the size of a piece of wood attached to the cover 8 of a hand-hole. The shaft 4 is connected through reducing-gear to a spindle 12 carrying pointers 10, 11, which move over two scales. The pointer 10 is fixed to the spindle 12 so that, when the shaft is rotated, the pointer 10 may be set to the graduation corresponding to the density of the oil as determined by a sample. The pointer 11, previously loose on the spindle 12, is then clamped by a nut 13 in the position in which it indicates the temperature as shown by a thermometer in the reservoir 38. When variations in the density or temperature occur, the shaft 4 is rotated until the pointers have moved over corresponding graduations, the capacities of the measuring-chambers being simultaneously varied, and adjustment of the temperature pointer is made if necessary. To fill the chambers the inlet valve from the reservoir 38 is opened by means of the hand wheel 18, and the oil is allowed to flow into the chambers, which communicate by passages 19 until a weighted air-release valve 20 in the outflow pipe is closed. The inlet valve is then closed, and the airoutlet valves 22 of each compartment are opened. The liquid-outlet valves 37 are simultaneously operated by a bar 25 which also raises or lowers the weighted discharge-nozzle 27.
