Inventor: CARRICK JAMES TAYLOR
IPC: C22B3/04
Filed: 1909-06-12
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 13,849. Carrick, J. T., and Pattison, B. S. June 12. Chloridizing etc.; ores, desulphurizing and rendering porous.-Copper-iron ores which may also contain nickel are, after crushing, digested with excels of hydrochloric acid in the absence of oxygen until the iron and nickel are dissolved. When nickel is present it may be separated from the iron, for instance, by adding ammonia and passing in air, whereupon the iron precipitates, leaving most of the nickel in solution to be precipitated by lime. Any nickel in the iron precipitate is dissolved out by dilute hydrochloride acid, which is then added to that used for digesting the ore. If the ores contain higher sulphides, they are first partly desulphurized out of contact with air, and are then dropped into water to render them porous.

Abstract: 26,199. Rosin, C. J., and FranzÚn, J. F. Nov. 12. Parallel machines; knitting, methods of.- Stockings and socks are produced entirely automatically by means of a pattern cylinder which takes certain needles of one bed successively out of operation, and returns the needles into action simultaneously; this operation is repeated, and, the formation of the tube being meanwhile suspended, heel or toe pouches with radial seamless fashionings, as shown in Fig. 7, are obtained. The cams for needles and web-holders are driven in suitable time-relation by means of a rotary spirally-grooved cylinder 8 provided with buffers for diminishing the shock of reversal. The pattern cylinder 9, which regulates the operation of the machine and the formation of the fabric, is driven by a toothed wheel 43, and, to allow it to rest during the formation of plain tubular fabric, a slidable toothed annulus 61 is arranged to be driven idly during this period. The bits 53 of the cylinder act positively on pivoted jacks 49 and throw the needles of the bed 5 into or out of engagement with their cams as required. The cylinder 9 also controls the cams and threadguides by pushing up pins such as 77 into the path of the reciprocating elements. The length of loop is also adjusted from the pattern cylinder in a similar manner. On the completion of the article, the cylinder disconnects the traversing thread-guide from the driving-arm and allows the loops to be pressed off the needles.

Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 12,238. Marks, E. C. R., [Dyer, R. E. H.]. May 18. Range-finders of the type described in Specification 4227/09, and having reflecting-means on the base-bar are provided with a pair of telescopes which receive rays of light from the reflecting-means, the range being read off when the observer looks through the telescopes. Two telescope tubes a, b forming a short-base are arranged side by side, and carry eyepieces h, i at one end and a reflecting-prism c at the other. The object lenses f, e are mounted in the same housing d that carries the prism c. Reflecting- prisms l, o are mounted on platforms j, k arranged at opposite ends of the base. To measure a range, the instrument is alined on an object and adjusted until the image observed in one telescope coincides with the infinity line of a range scale described in Specification 27,022/08. engraved on a glass disk placed in the focal plane. The object is then observed in the other telescope, and the range read off on the corresponding scale. Both telescopes are provided with range scales, and provision is made for turning the prisms l, o through a right-angle and thus allowing an object on the other side of the instrument to be ranged. This end may also be achieved by turning the base-bar &c. upside down, and in this case one of the range scales is marked upside down. The prisms are mounted so that they may be adjusted horizontally and vertically. The platforms carry rings 20, Fig. 7<a>, positioned by lugs 23 engaging with stops 21, 22. The prism is mounted on a plate 26 carried by a turntable 25 rotatable relatively to the ring 20 and limited by a pin 30 working in a slot 31. The prism can be tipped by adjusting pointed 'screws 28, 29, 30 which bear on the turntable 25. In a modification, the plate 26 is hinged to the turntable, and only one adjusting-screw is used. In another form of instrument, a plain base-bar is used with telescopes at one end, the images being directly reflected to the telescope by prisms on the bar. In another modification, a single movable prism 42, Fig. 13, is used in conjunction with a fixed reflecting- device 44 in front of the auxiliary telescope 43. In another modification, a long telescope is obtained by adding the prism 44, which reflects light to the additional tubes 46. The base-bar is supported at one end by a cradle p pivoted at q to a member r rotatably mounted on a tripod stand s. At the other end, pins 12, 13, Fig. 3, on the base-bar engage with slots in a cradle 15. A nut 16 works the screwed end of the pin 13, so that the base-bar may be adjusted horizontally by operating the nut 16 against the action of a spring 17. The cradle 15 is pivoted at 7 to a carriage x, and may be adjusted by a worm and worm-wheel 9. The carriage x is adjustably mounted on a second carriage 2, which is itself slidable along a bar t of the tripod stand u. Means are described in the Specification for effecting a virtual lengthening of the base by swinging the base-bar relatively to the carriage x.
