Title: Process for the Production of Colloidal Elements
Inventor: KUZEL HANS
Filed: 1906-11-15
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 25,864. Kuzel, H. Dec. 12, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Colloidal metals and metalloids.-Consists of a process for converting the following elements into the colloidal form : chromium, manganese, molybdenum, uranium, tungsten, vanadium, tantalum, niobium, titanium, boron, silicon, thorium, zirconium, platinum, osmium, and iridium. The element is finely powdered, either by mechanical means or by cathodic atomizing, and is then subjected to prolonged moderate heating and energetic stirring with dilute acid solutions and dilute alkaline solutions alternately, a washing with distilled water, an alcohol &c. preferably coming between each pair of operations. Suitable acid solutions are À5-20 per cent solutions of organic or inorganic acids, phenols, or salts with an acid reaction ; while suitable basic solutions are À5-10 per cent solutions of hydrates, carbonates, or bicarbonates of alkalies or earth alkalies, cyanides, ammonia, organic bases, and even, though less advantageously, neutral salts. An organic solvent, such as an alcohol, glycerine, &c., may be used for any of the solutions mentioned. In an example, finely divided tungsten is heated on the water bath with stirring for from five to forty-eight hours with 15 per cent hydrochloric acid, the acid being constantly renewed. The liquid is decanted, and the tungsten washed with distilled water until the hydrosol already formed begins to go into colloidal solution. It is then heated with a 1 per cent solution of potassium cyanide on the water bath for from five to twentyfour hours, with agitation as before ; after another washing with distilled water, the tungsten is then treated with a 1 per cent solution of ferrous sulphate, followed, after another washing, by a 2 per cent alcoholic solution of monomethylamine or aÀ5 per cent solution of caustic soda. After the second to the fourth double treatment, the tungsten usually goes into solution with distilled water leaving a trifling residue. From the filtered solution, the tungsten may be readily precipitated by the addition of small quantities of electrolytes, for example sodium chloride.

Title: Improved Driving Coupling for Relatively Moving Rotating Members, particularly applicable to Spring Wheels for Vehicles.
Filed: 1907-02-15
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 3844. Spherola Spring Wheel Co., Neate, P. J., and Wills, B. R. Feb. 15. Spring wheels. - Relates to a. floating-plate coupling for connecting eccentric shafts or driving and driven members, particularly applicable for connecting the hub and rim in a spring wheel such as described in Specification No. 29,100, A.D. 1904. One face of the floating plate has two or three parallel grooves registering with grooves in one member and perpendicular to other parallel registering grooves in the other face and member, a ball being held within each pair of grooves. In the case of a wheel where the drive is not desired to be quite rigid, the balls may fit loosely in the grooves. In the form shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 2<a>, the rim portion a, enclosed between the hub plates b, c, is connected to them on one side by cup-andball spring devices k, l, m to obtain radial resilience, as described in the above Specification, and on the other side by the coupling consisting of a triangular plate d formed at its enlarged corners with a groove e at one side, Fig. 2<a>, perpendicular to a groove h on the other side, holding balls j, and registering with grooves i, f in the members a, b. In the form shown in Fig. 6, two couplings are used and are themselves formed to act as resilient devices the original cups and balls k, l, m being dispensed with. On each side of the member a is a plate d which engages with an intermediate plate q supported by springs r with transverse axes and connected by links s to cross-bolts t connecting the hub plates. The grooves e, f, h, i are formed with parallel sides but increase in depth towards their centres, so as to allow the axial resilient displacement under radial movements, and to provide a rigid drive. A buffer ring w on the axle-box engages the member a on excessive displacement. In a modification, the construction shown on one side of Fig. 6 is combined with the original cup-and-ball spring connexion on the other side. In some of the forms, rollers may be used instead of balls, as shown in Fig. 7. A bar 5, integral with the plate 13, enters a pocket formed on the plate 14 and is surroundel by four rollers with conical ends enclosed in a cage 7. The roller 1 behind the bar merely takes the end thrust of the rollers 2, 4. In the form shown in Fig. 10, a rib 9 on one plate is separated from a corresponding groove in the other plate by two rollers. The springs used may be of ordinary volute or spiral form, or that double form described in Specification No. 13,472, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Road vehicles].
