Title: Improvements in Vapour Electric Apparatus.
Inventor: HEWITT PETER COOPER
Filed: 1905-03-15
Granted: 1905-08-03
Abstract: 5409. Hewitt, P. C. April 9, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Converting alternating and direct currents.-In vapour rectifiers, the discharge is started by means of a resistance in parallel with a part of the vapour path and exterior to the container, and which, with the conducting - liquid forming the electrodes, - temporarily shunts the whole vapour path. The invention is described as applied to vapour lamps. The resistance 13 connects leading-in wires projecting into pockets 10, 11 in the U-shaped or other mercury lamp 1. At starting, the lamp is turned on trunnions 14, 15 so that the mercury extends from the electrode pockets 6, 7 along the tube to the pockets 10, 11, an upward bend 12 in the tube preventing the two bodies of mercury from meeting. The discharge produced by returning the lamp to its vertical position extends along the tube and cuts out the resistance 13. Side pockets 16,17 may be provided to contain part of the mercury. If one of the electrodes is solid, it is arranged so as to project above the mercury when the tube is vertical. In another form there is a double bend in each limb of the U beyond the pockets 10, 11 so that the bend of the U is above the level of the body of the tube when horizontal. Fig. 5 shows a further modification.

Abstract: 7416. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. April 7. Converting alternating and direct currents.-In mercury-vapour rectifiers, a device for leading in the current is constructed so as to avoid amalgamation of the solid metal and heating by contactresistance. A short platinum wire 7, sealed in a re-entrant conical part 9 of the electrode container 5, and not exposed to the mercury, is welded to a stout iron wire 11 and to a copper or other wire 10. An iron disk 12, well immersed in the mercury, is attached to the wire 11, preferably by means of an enlargement and a rivet head on the latter. The lower end of the electrode container 5 may be embedded in plaster of paris contained in a copper cup 14, to which the wire 10 is soldered or otherwise secured. A number of the compound wires, supporting one iron disk, may be used. The rectifier has a supplementary mercury electrode, provided with similar leading-in means, and two carbon anodes.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Magnetic Ore Separators
Inventor: LEAN CLEMENT
Filed: 1905-09-27
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 19,525. Lean, C., [Maschinenbau Anstalt Humboldt]. Sept. 27. Magnetic separators.-Relates to magnetic ore separators of the kind in which a non-magnetic drum rotates round a magnet. Inside a rotary drum a is arranged a fixed star-shaped magnet b, the arms being magnetized so that they are alternately positive and negative in polarity. Between the ends of the arms are arranged bars g of trapezoidol cross-section, so as to cause strong magnetic fields just outside each wedge-shaped space h between adjacent bars. The drum is surrounded by a mantle or screen o of perforated iron or wire netting. The material to be treated is fed from a hopper k on to the upper side of the drum, and part of the non-magnetic material falls into the hopper l. The other part is carried round by the drum with the magnetic material and is gradually separated from the latter as the material is agitated by the frequent changes of polarity as the drum passes over the magnet, the non-magnetic material then falling into-the hopper n, and the magnetic material into the hopper m, Instead of perforated iron, or wire netting, the mantle may be made of iron bars running axially, the bars being connected magnetically, and separated from each other to form non-magnetic spaces on the surface of the drum.

Abstract: 20,318. Brown, J. H. Oct. 7. Regenerative furnaces; dampers; steam, supplying.-Relates to the construction of passages for waste gases and air in regenerative furnaces, to means for controlling the waste gases, and to the provision of bottom flues so that the waste gases may be utilized for heating water in the ash-pit. Gases from the furnace B, after passing through the combustion chamber C, between the retorts A, and down the outside of the outer retorts, enter flues f, and pass through openings o into flues f<1> and through holes h to the passages g, p. The holes h are provided with damper tiles d which may be set by using an iron bar through an opening D. The gases pass over baffles b and through dampered passages h<1> into flues f<2>, f<3>, the latter being arranged under the water in the ash-pit p. By regulation of the dampers d<1>, the gases are caused to pass over the whole surface of the division wall dw. Air for primary combustion is led through dampers pd at the front to passages q and discharged beneath the fire-bars. Air for secondary combustion is supplied to three flues t, and, after passing over baffles u in the passages at each side of the furnace, enters the combustion chamber C through holes nh.

In these slots work the rear ends e, e<1> of crossed levers c, the front ends being pivoted at f to the irons a and frame b, respectively. The levers c are pivoted on a rod g, which also carries two curved racks d adapted to engage with a cross-bar h on the underframe b. The racks d are provided on their outer sides with a projecting guide l and with a spring k<1>, shaped as shown in Fig. 9, and the underframe b is provided with pins i, as shown in Fig. 6. The arrangement is such that, when the adjustable seat bottom is raised as far as possible, the pins i pass between the springs k<1> and the bottom of the guides l, so that the guides rest upon the pins i and the seat can be lowered without the racks d engaging the rod h. When the seat is fully lowered, the guides l no longer rest on the pins i, so that the seat may be again adjusted as desired.

Abstract: 14,365. Parker, T. June 22. Gas manufacture, processes for.-Bituminous coal is partly distilled at a low temperature, to produce a smokeless fuel, gas, tar, and ammonia. The coal is maintained at about 800‹ F. until illuminating-gas ceases to be evolved, when it is quenched with steam, preferably after it has been drawn into a receptacle which is not heated. Steam is admitted to the retorts towards the end of the process, to lower the temperature and to remove sulphur.
