Patent GB-189809462-A (GB)
Title: Process and Apparatus for Producing Ammonia, Cyanides, Coke, and Gas.
Inventor: NAEF PAUL
Filed: 1898-04-25
Granted: 1899-04-25
Abstract: 9462. Naef, P. Sept. 25, A.D. 1897, [date claimed under See. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Chemical furnace; lime kilns; gas-producers.- Relates to a process and apparatus for producing ammonia, cyanides, coke, and gas. Lime is produced in a calcining-kiln, and coke in a coking- apparatus, the fuel employed therefor being incandescent gases from a blast furnace, wherein a mixture of iron ore and of the coke and lime produced is treated. The fuel, which may be bituminous slack, is charged by a conveyer 14 to the top of a coking-apparatus 2. Incandescent gases from the blast furnace 1 pass from the tube 7, and through a valve 8, to an annular channel 15, from which they enter the coking-apparatus through ducts 16. If ammonia is to be formed, steam is injected through openings 19 ; if cyanide, water enters through openings 18. The gases escape through the outlet 17. The coke formed is cooled by the water in the lower part, broken up by the rollers 12<a>, and discharged through doors 13 to a storage hopper 20, from which it is carried by a conveyer 21 to the hopper 22. Limestone is charged from a hopper 25 into the calcining-kiln 3 by a conveyer 26. The kiln receives incandescent gases through the tube 7, valve 9, annular channel 27, and ducts 28. Steam may be introduced to convert the cyanide into ammonia. The gases escape through an outlet at the top of the column. The lime falls to the bottom, and thence through doors 30 to a hopper 31, from which it is carried by a conveyer 32 to the hopper 22. The valves 8, 9, for passing incandescent gases to the coking- apparatus and calcining-kiln, consist each of a casing 39, through which water is run from the pipe 40, leaving through the pipe 41. The damper 42 is carried on a pipe 43, which can be raised or lowered, and through which water continuously flows, entering at 44 and leaving at 45. The gases leaving the coking and calcining apparatus are led first to a tar extractor, and thence to a washing- apparatus.

Title: Improvements in the Preparation of Aluminium and other Metal Plates for Planographic and other Printing Purposes.
Inventor: BLOCK GUSTAV HENRY
Filed: 1899-05-12
Granted: 1900-05-05
Abstract: 10,049. Block, G. H. May 12. Lithographic and like printing.-An aluminium, zinc, or other metal plate for planographic and like printing may be prepared by cleaning and roughening the surface of the plate, then immersing the plate in a solution of sulphate of aluminium containing a little nitric acid, subjecting the plate to the action of an electric current, and finally rubbing the surface of the plate with a paste made of a mixture of carbonate of magnesia, methylated spirit, and water. Instead of using the solution above described, a bath containing acid sulphate of aluminium, potash alum, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and water may be employed. When a grained plate is required, the metal plate is cleaned and subjected to the action of sand blast before being immersed in a solution such as one of those described above. Zinc and other metal plates are preferably treated a second time in a rocking bath lined with carbon plates, or aluminium sheeting, and containing one of the above-mentioned solutions. For producing stippled, grained, or lined effects, the plates are treated in the way described in Specification No. 2907, A.D. 1894, and are then treated as described above.

Granted: 1900-04-14
Abstract: 12,165. Still, W. J. June 10. Drawings to Specification. Motor road vehicles.-In an electric motor for driving motor road vehicles, the field magnets and armature both rotate in opposite directions. At one end of the motor the field magnets are connected through a universal joint with a supplemeutary shaft, while at the opposite end the armature shaft is similarly connected to another supplementary shaft. These two shafts, which rotate in opposite directions, are caused to drive the rear wheels of the vehicle in the same direction by chain gearing, the gearing at one end being provided with an idle wheel so as to reverse the motion. The motor is supported from the frame by means of pivoted hangers.
Patent GB-189924829-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Locks.
Inventor: POPESCO GEORGES
Filed: 1899-12-13
Granted: 1900-03-17
Abstract: 24,829. Popesco, G. Dec. 13. Locks, key.-To prevent the main bolt of a lock for a plate chest, safe, &c. from being withdrawn even when the principal parts of the lock are torn off the door, the front guide-plate for the bolt A is made in two parts a, b, with an interspace a' in which a locking-slide b<1> travels and is pressed upwards by a spring c<1> to cause the lower edge d<1> of its opening e<1> to engage in a transverse groove f<1> of the bolt. A known form of lock is shown in which the bolt, operated by a key and cam f, can only be withdrawn after operating tumblers q by a second key to release a projection n of a slide p, which can then be moved from the hinder end of the bolt on turning the cam f. When the slide p is moved, the free end h<1> of a projecting arm i<1> of the slide engages a recess g<1> in the slide b<1> and releases the edge d' from the groove f<1>. When the bolt is shot, the projection n passes behind it, the slide p moves upwards, and its arm i<1> allows the slide b<1> to enter the groove f<1>.

Abstract: 12,320. Thompson, W. P., [Edenborn, W.]. July 7. Wire; bending.-Relates to improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 8343, A.D. 1896, [Abridgment Class Fencing &c.], for making wire fencing. The longitudinal wires A are fed through hollow spindles 3, and the stay wires B are fed between rollers 5 and cam rollers 6, which give an intermittent movement, pawls 7 preventing the return of the wires. The wires B are received in spring-fitted grooves in discs 10, which are located between the spindles 3, and, suitable lengths of the wire B being cut off, the discs 10 are rotated to bring the wires B against the adjacent strand wires, round which they are coiled by ordinary coiling-fingers on the spindles 3. Forks 20 mounted on a camactuated sliding head 21 serve to ensure engagement of the wires B with the coiling-fingers, and to straighten them if bent. Fencing, as shown in Fig. 6, is thus formed.
