Title: A Process of Bleaching Fibres for the Manufacture of Paper.
Inventor: LANNOYE AUGUSTE
IPC: D21C9/10
Filed: 1913-04-03
Granted: 1914-01-08
Abstract: 7872. Lannoye, A. Feb. 18, [Convention date]. Pulp, preparation of.-A process of bleaching fibres for use in making paper may be used for transforming material into pulp and bleaching it simultaneously. The material is passed continuously into a pulper or kneader which works continuously, malaxating or kneading the pulp in the presence of a bleaching-solution which weighs not more than thrice the dry pulp, and which passes in the same direction as the pulp. In operation, the bleaching-solution passes from a tank a through a pipe b to a continuously working malaxating-machine c, such as a Lannoye, Dietrich, W³nster, Stevens, or any other similar apparatus used for pulping waste paper. The fibrous material is introduced simultaneously and, after treatment, passes out continuously, quite white, to a funnel d into which flows a jet of water from a pipe l to remove chlorine. The diluted pulp flows through a pipe e and branches f, g to draining-tanks h, i.

Granted: 1914-05-14
Abstract: 11,370. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 15. Annealing.- -Silicon steel is annealed and its magnetic qualities are improved by heating the sheets to a high temperature and subjecting them to conditions which remove the oxygen and other impurities. The sheets are heated to 1100-1325‹ C. in an electric furnace exhausted to 2-2À5 mm. of mercury, or containing a reducing-gas; or the process may be carried out in two steps by first heating the sheets under ordinary conditions to 1100-1325‹ C. and afterwards heating in the reducing-furnace to 790‹ C. or upwards. The treatment is stated to cause a coalescence of the normal small grains into larger grains. The electric furnace used may comprise a water-jacketed metal box 2 containing graphite grids 5, 6, to which current is supplied by conductors 7, 8 cooled by fluid supplied through tubes 13, 14. The heating-zone is surrounded by graphite or fire-brick screens 15. Pipes are provided for evacuating the furnace and for supplying gas thereto.

Abstract: 21,738. Niewerth, [nÚe Vliex], A. Sept. 26. Shaft furnaces.-Comprises modifications in furnaces for reducing ores of the kind described in Specification 18,327/97, in which a central shaft communicates through openings at different levels with side chambers, and in which means are provided for forcing a current of reducing-gas in either direction through the apparatus. The furnace and blowing-plant are shown diagrammatically in Fig. 2 with the valves arranged for the passage of gas through the furnace from right to left. The main shaft A for the ores has openings B, C communicating with inclined side shafts D, E, to which coal or coke may be fed without loss of pressure in the furnace by suitable hoppers F. The lower ends of the shafts D, E are bent, as shown, or are otherwise formed to prevent the fuel from passing into the central shaft, and, at their upper ends, are provided controllable connexions L, M with a pump or gas-displacer 7. Depending from the side shafts are vertical chambers G, H, I, K having connexions x by which an air blast from the blower 1 can be supplied through pipes 2 and valves 5 or 6 to the fuel. In operation, assuming the ore and fuel to be red hot, air is blown in, say, through the chambers G, H, and the gases generated pass up through the main shaft A and out at the connexion M to the pipes 9, where they are stored. During this time, the connexion at L is closed. After a period, the valves 5, 6 and at L, M are reversed, and the air is supplied to the chambers I, K, while the gases accumulate in the pipes 8. When the fuel and ore are sufficiently hot, and a sufficient quantity of reducing-gas has been stored in the pipes 8, 9, the pump or displacer 7 is set in motion, so that currents of reducing-gas are driven through the furnace alternately in opposite directions. The blower 1 may be cut off during this operation, or air may be supplied simultaneously to maintain the temperature. Any excess of gas in the pipes 8, 9 escapes through valves 12, 13, 14, 15, and a safety-valve Q is fitted at the upper end of the central shaft. Regenerators or heat-storers 16, and air-heaters 17 may be provided, as shown, in the gas and air conduits, and four or more lateral shafts may be fitted.

Abstract: 6688. Hadley, A., and Adlam, E. G. March 17. Bottles, washing and drying. - In machines for rinsing and drying bottles, of the kind in which the bottles are inverted over air and water nozzles carried by a rotary table, the air and water are passed through separate pipes. and the water supply is controlled automatically by tappet mechanism engaging valve spindles in each pipe near the periphery of the table in proximity to the delivery nozzles. Figs. 1 and 3 show a machine in accordance with the invention. The bottles are supported in three tiers in holders 3<b> at the ends of two sets of radial pipes, the whole forming a circular table rotating on a central footstep bearing and supported by rollers running on a track 7. The rotation is effected by friction wheels engaging a vertically-depending ring 19 and may be stopped by raising the weight 30, thus moving the friction wheel 21 away from the ring through the medium of the link 28. Air is admitted from the fixed pipe f7 through a ported disk 18 to radial pipes 11 each communicating with a segmental chamber 12 connected by separate pipes 13 to the passages 5 in four sets of bottle-holders, and thus supplying twelve nozzles 5<a>. Water is admitted at 14 to the pipes 2 and is controlled by valves 2<a> having depending spindles which are raised by contacting with the tappet-wheel 31. Between the valve and the water-nozzles 4<a>, each pipe 2 is bifurcated so as to deliver the water to two passages 4, thus supplying six nozzles. In operation, two sets of six bottles are rinsed in turn, and then air is supplied simultaneously to all of them so that, when removed from the machine, they are dried and ready for filling.
