Title: Treating Tar to Recover Certain Light Constituents, and to Facilitate Subsequent Distillation.
Inventor: GUTENSOHN ADOLPH
Filed: 1908-10-15
Granted: 1909-10-15
Abstract: 21,800. Gutensohn, A. Oct. 15. Tar; pitch; distilling tar.-Gas-tar is treated with a strong solution of chromic and sulphuric acids in admixture in order to facilitate subsequent distillation, and to improve the quality of the pitch. The heat created by the addition of the tar to the acid solution causes an evolution of the light oils ; the acid solution is then drawn off, and the residue is distilled at a lower temperature than usual for the recovery of the heavy oils and the formation of pitch. A modification of the process is described whereby a dilute acid solution may be employed. The solution may eventually be treated for the recovery of chromic acid ; or it may be boiled to dryness, and the residue calcined to form a green pigment.

Abstract: 25,470. Longland, W., and Larard, C. E. Nov. 26. Testing strength and elasticity of materials.-The strength of a material is tested by fracturing a specimen by the impact of a heavy body, the residual energy of which after impact is measured. As shown for a tension test, the heavy body or hammer H is attached to the specimen S which is fixed to a cross-beam I guided by the side pillars H<1>, H<2>. The beam is raised by the grip K until this engages a releasing-beam M, whereupon the beam, specimen, and hammer are let fall. The beam is arrested and locked, and the hammer fractures the specimen, drops on to an anvil on a beam A, and is locked thereto, the beam A and the hammer then oscillating about the fulcrum B, the oscillations enabling the energy to be measured. Tests may be made with this apparatus in shear, bending, and compression.

Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 26,659. Taytor, L. B. Nov. 17. Single-trigger mechanisms. -Consists in a modified mechanism of the " two-pull " type. The sears are lifted by studs p<3>, r<3>, Figs. 11 and 12, projecting from two dissimilar plates p, r, which are successively operated by studs g<1>, g<2>, g<3>, g<4>, on a rocking post g, Fig. 7, pivoted to the trigger blade. The involuntary pull is controlled by a recoil-actuated limb b, Figs. 1 and 2, having a hooked end l<1> which engages the top of the post g. The sear lifters p, r are pivoted to a selective slide n mounted on the trigger plate. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the mechanism is set for firing the left barrel first, the post g being maintained in its backward position, against the pull of a spring h, by the downward pressure of the notch p<1>, of the sear lifter p, on the lower stud g<1>. During the first pull, the left-hand sear lifter p is raised, and the post g comes into contact with the hooked end l<1> of the retaining-limb l. During the recoil and rebound, the post g and the limb l are maintained in engagement, the two parts swinging forwards and backwards together. After the voluntary release of the trigger, the post g is moved forwards by the spring h, and its toe g<5>, Fig. 7, engages the trigger plate and slightly raises the trigger, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2; the upper stud g<2> is then in position under the notch r' of the right-hand sear lifter, ready for the second discharge. When it is desired to fire the right-hand barrel first, the slide n is pushed forwards to bring the surface r<2>, Fig. 5, of the right-hand sear lifter over the lower stud g'. In modifications, the retaining - limb l is mounted to slide, instead of being pivoted.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Breech-loading Fire Arms.
IPC: F41A3/26
Filed: 1910-04-19
Granted: 1911-04-19
Abstract: 9446. Birmingham Small Arms Co., and Norman, G. April 19. Breech actions, sliding breech-block. - Relates to automatic gas - operated guns having a piston so actuated by the gases as to compress, by means of rods in tension, a strong spring bv which the breech is subsequently opened. The invention consists in the construction shown, in which the gases drive forward a hollow sliding cylinder 5, Fig. 1, connected by the rods 7, Fig. 7, to the slide 12. The return spring 13, Fig. 4, is mounted in the slide, which carries also spring catches 14 adapted to engage with and to retract the collar 16 on its return - stroke. The collar 16 slides in grooves in the body 15, and is connected with the bolt 17 by means of screw lugs 18, so that its initial travel rotates the bolt 17, unlocking the lugs 17<b> and withdrawing the striker 26 to the safety position, owing to the engagement of the projection 30 with an inclined face 17<f> at the base of the bolt. The momentum of the bolt at unlocking is sufficient to cause it to rotate the threads 18 out of engagement with the threads on the collar for the rest of its travel. At the end of the rearward stroke, the catches 14 are disengaged from the collar by the lower wall 14<c>, Fig. 10, of the body, whereupon the spring 22 acting on the cross pin 27 closes the bolt. Towards the end of the stroke, the slideway of the bolt handle causes a slight rotary movement of the bolt, bringing the lugs 18 again into alinement with the grooves in the collar 16, which is thereupon driven forwards by the spring 20 and effects the re-locking. A ball thrust washer 21 is mounted in the abutment collar 19, and means are described for its ready disassembling.

Granted: 1911-05-17
Abstract: 12,071. Locke, T. A. May 17. Time alarms. - In a time-alarm system in which a central station setting-apparatus and clock controls the alarms at a number of distant places, there is provided at each alarm station a three-position switch which can be moved electro-magnetically into a receptive position by the central-station operator, and can be lifted by hand into an inactive position to stop the alarm. The central-station setting-apparatus comprises a co-axial series of setting-wheels g, Fig. 3, marked peripherally in quarter-hours, and each carrying a contact-arm m co-operating with contacts e<1> on bars e which are successively connected at quarter-hour intervals by a clock-hand b, Fig. 4, to a battery y. Each contact-bar m is connected through a strip n and wire p to a separate alarm. The setting- wheel g is adjusted through the opening f<1> of the casing until the time at which the corresponding alarm-bell is to be sounded appears in the middle of the opening. The local-station three-position switch v is normally in the position shown in Fig. 4, connecting the magnet s at each local station through contacts x<1>, x<2> to a central-station switch 12. When the switch 12 is closed, the magnet s moves an escapement lever w, permitting the switch v to move into its second position, bridging contacts x<3>, x<4> and connecting the magnet s directly to the line p. At the time for which the alarm has been set, the magnet s is again energized through the line p, and the escapement u moves the switch v into its third position, bridging contacts x<5>, x<6> and connecting the magnet s to line p through the trembler-contact of a second armature which carries a bell-hammer. An alarm is now given which can be stopped by moving the switch v by hand into its inactive first position. To give a quick action, the armature of the escapement lever w is wedge-shaped, as shown, and moves into a gap of similar form between the polepieces of the magnet s.

Abstract: 19,249. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Aug. 16. [Cognate Applications, 19,250/10 and 19,251/10.] Ammonia.-Better yields are obtained in the synthetic production of ammonia by the addition of substances termed " promoters " to the iron, nickel, or cobalt used as the catalytic agent. These substances are generally compounds of magnesium, beryllium, aluminium, or of the alkali, alkaline-earth, or rare-earth metals, or of zirconium, vanadium, tantalum, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, or tungsten. The 'addition of the oxide or other compound of magnesium or aluminium is particularly favourable. It is found, however, that certain bodies have the property of diminishing or destroying the catalytic property of the iron &c. Such bodies are, for example, arsenic, sulphur, selenium, tellurium, phosphorus, boron, antimony, bismuth, tin, lead, or zinc, or their compounds, and the presence of carbon monoxide and dioxide, and of oil in the gases should be avoided. Iron &c., which is unsuitable for use as a catalyst owing to the presence of contact poison or for other reasons, can be rendered effective by heating to a high temperature in admixture with a promoter, so that a mixture of oxides is obtained, which is reduced by means of hydrogen, preferably at as low a temperature as possible. It is preferred that the first heating should be sufficient to melt the mixture. This treatment may be repeated until the desired result is obtained. The reaction gases may be freed from contact poison by passage over a material capable of absorbing it, and this material may be a further quantity of the catalytic agent placed in advance. The mixture of iron and a promoter may be supported on a carrier, such as asbestos or chamotte, and one constituent of the carrier may constitute the promoter, but it is necessary in this case that the iron and promoter should be actually mixed together. In use, a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen; preferably in combining proportions, is passed over the heated catalytic agent, and the reaction may be effected under great pressure as described in Specification 14,023/10.
