Patent GB-191209623-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for use in the Analysis of Gases.
Inventor: HARGER JOHN
IPC: G01N7/08
Filed: 1912-04-23
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 9623. Harger, J. April 23. Gas analysis; eudiometers.-Gas analysis apparatus in which the volume of the gas tested is kept constant, and the amount of gas absorbed by a reagent is determined by the decrease in pressure in the gas, is arranged so that the gas may be treated with a succession of reagents, and a number of constituents determined. For this purpose the reagents may be run into the apparatus from a number of side tubes 8, Fig. 1, arranged so that after absorption, suitable operation of the taps 9, 10 allows the reagent to be returned to its receptacle, and the operation repeated with the contents of another side tube. A single side tube 8 may be used provided it is completely filled with liquid before and after connexion is made with the gas chamber 1. Instead of using the side tubes 8, Fig. 1, the reagents may be introduced into the chamber in the form of capsules 15, Fig. 3. These rest on ledges 14, and can be broken against the side of the chamber by sliding the plate 12 rapidly across the top, or they may be dropped in succession and broken by violent shaking, the capsules to be retained being held against the side of the chamber. Or the capsules may be made of graduated thickness so that they could be broken in succession by shaking, or they may be arranged to be pushed off a shelf or released from recesses in a rotary member in succession. Or the reagents could be added in predetermined volumes provided that the registering-apparatus is calibrated to allow for the increase in volume of the reagents in the apparatus. It is important that there should be no pockets in the pressure-recording device in which gas may escape the action of the reagents, and for this purpose it is preferable to use an aneroid 4. If great accuracy is required, the usual lever and thread of the registering- device may be replaced by a capillary tube, and the aneroid is filled with liquid so that the pressure variations cause the end of liquid column to move along the capillary. Of a globule of mercury may be used, but in this case the volume of gas in the aneroid may introduce errors if the temperature varies, although in certain cases these errors may be arranged to compensate for others. With this latter construction, the diaphragm may be dispensed with, and an open-ended capillary tube used instead. In a form of the apparatus used for the estimation of methane, the vessel 1, Fig. 4, is closed by plug 17 through which pass leads to a platinum coil which is heated electrically. The variations in pressure are noted on a sensitive form of Bourdon gauge 18.

Granted: 1912-10-03
Abstract: 12,475. Sprenger, O. Sept. 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Tar oils.-The oils obtained by distilling woodtar, coal-tar, or lignite-tar and boiling at 180- 250‹ C.. after purification by means of soda and sulphuric acid. are mixed with a small proportion of animal or vegetable fat, or oil, such as tallow, wool fat, whale oil, rape oil, linseed oil, &c., and concentrated sulphuric acid is added slowly, with cooling, so that the temperature does not rise above 50‹ C. The mixture is kept stirred at this temperature for about an hour. The acid resin that settles on standing is separated, slaked lime is added, and the mixture is oxidized by ozone, ozonized air, or other means. After separation of the precipitated calcium sulphate, the oil may be used as a varnish, or, mixed with colouring matters, as a paint for iron, stone, wood, &c., and for ships' bottoms.

Abstract: 16,956. Heaver, N., and Proctor, A. July 20. Zeroizing-mechanism; overthrow-preventing mechanism.-Relates to zeroizing-mechanism for counting apparatus especially of the kind described in Specification 14,010/12. The counter wheels on a spindle 21 are actuated by a spring plunger 7 and lever 9 with a pawl 11 engaging the unit wheel, a stop 12<a> being provided to prevent overthrow of the pawl, and the transfer being effected by long and short toothed pinions 24 on a countershaft 25 carried in a rocking frame 27.

Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 29,778. Major, C. G., and Smith, Major, & Stevens. Dec. 27. Lift cages and doors, locking and unlocking. -Comprises a combined gate or door locking- device and switch for electric lifts. Fig. 1 shows the application to a single-hinged door. The switch box 10 is secured to the lift well and encloses a three-armed tumbler 11 provided with a heavy switch-member 14 and projections. 12, 13, 29. The latch-box 1 is mounted on the door and carries two sliding bolts 5, 6 operated by a two-armed tumbler 4. The bolt 6 is also fitted with a spring which tends to force it into the switch box. When the parts are in the position shown, the door is locked at two points by the bolt 6 engaging the switch casing and by the lug 12 engaging the latch casing, and electric contact is made at 15. When the cage arrives at the floor, a cam 19 carried by the cage engages the interlocking catch 17 and frees the tumbler 11, which falls, breaking the circuit. The lug 13 has now pushed back the bolt 6, and both lugs 12, 13 are flush with the edge of the casing, whereupon the door can be opened. Fig. 4 shows the device applied to double-hinged doors. The latch-box is mounted on the last-closing door, and another box containing a three-armed tumbler 25 is mounted on the lintel of the door. The tumbler 25 is connected by a link 22 to the tumbler 11 of the switch box. The bolt 6 is connected to the handle 2 and receives one arm of a lever 4. In closing the doors, the half 24 is closed first, the part 36 pushing back a spring catch 35 whish prevents the closing of the other half 23. This half is now closed and the bolt 6 pushed up, the end 26 of the tumbler 25 being forced into the latch-box 1. The turning of the tumbler 25 moves the rod 22 to the left and causes the switch 14 to make contact. Fig. 7 shows the application to a sliding gate. The switch box carries a three-armed tumbler and an interlocking lever as before. The tumbler has two arms 12, 13 pointing horizontally towards the opening in the casing. The door carries a hand-lever 2 formed with a catch 6 on one end. This lever is controlled by a spring 8. The catch enters freely between the arms 12, 13. In closing the gate, the ramp 30 guides the catch into the casing, and the catch entering between the arms pushes the switch home and springs over the edge of the ramp to lock the gate. When the cage has moved away, the lever 17 locks the device. Specification 2766/05 is referred to.

Title: Process for Separating Tar and Ammonia from Gases Derived from the Carbonisation of Fuel.
IPC: C10K1/04
Filed: 1914-05-25
Granted: 1915-08-05
Abstract: 12,818. Otto & Co., C. June 28, 1913, [Convention date]. Washing processes.- In a process for separating tar and ammonia from gas, wherein the gas is passed into direct contact with water flowing in the opposite direction, the washing- water is withdrawn from the middle part of the washer, where its ammonia content is highest, at such a rate that the amount of ammonia withdrawn in a given time is the same as that introduced during that time by the crude gas. In the plant shown, the gas enters a washer b by a pipe a and leaves by a pipe c, in which a further washer is preferably interposed. The required amount of solution is withdrawn continuously through a pipe f to a tar separator g, and thence, after separation of the tar, to a still h and saturator k. The liquor from the bottom of the washer b passes to a tar separator m, whence it is pumped to a cooling-tower o, where a quantity of water is evaporated corresponding approximately with the quantity introduced into the system in the gas, part of the cooled water being continuously pumped to the washer b. The upper and lower parts of the washer b may be represented by two washers side by side; or a rotary washer may be used.
