Abstract: 19,399. Kendall, E. D. Aug. 27. Spray carburettors. - A thermostatic apparatus is designed for cutting-off the supply of light fuel and turning on the heavy fuel after the engine has started, but it may be used for other purposes such as controlling the ignition. It comprises a vessel 4 containing fusible liquid and arms 6 on a spindle 3 which tend to rotate therein. The engine, when it is started, turns the spindle through a pulley 1 and friction clutch 2, and the arms carry with them the vessel 4 until an arm 8 on its hollow journal is arrested by a stop 10, Fig. 2. This movement is transmitted by the mechanism shown in Fig. 2, to a three-way cock 15 causing it to supply starting fuel to the engine. When the heat of the engine is sufficient to melt the metal, the box 4 is moved back by the spring 16 until its arm reaches the stop 9 and the cock 15 turns off the starting-fuel and turns on heavy oil.

Abstract: 29,156. Rudolph, O. C. Dec. 17. Matte processes for copper etc.; distilling metals. - Complex sulphide ores are melted in an electric furnace to form a matte which is run into a converter and blown for the complete removal of zinc and lead. The fumes from the converter, together with any zinc, silver, lead, and sulphur volatized in the furnace, are treated in a wet condensing - plant for the recovery of the metals as sulphites or sulphates. The liquor, after removal of any precipitated lead salt, is treated in an electrolytic plant having perforated anodes; after deposition of the zinc, the liquor is returned to the condenser. The residual matte may be worked directly to blister copper, or it may be used as a flux in the furnace; copper ores may also be mixed with the original charge to ensure the production of a high-grade matte. The condenser comprises a series of compartments, the first compartment a<1> acting as a depositing-chamber, the second a<2> being filled with chequer-work bricks c, and subsequent compartments containing staggered rows of bafflerods arranged alternately at right - angles.

Abstract: 10,796. Hammer, A. Oct. 17, 1913, [Convention date]. [Addition to 26,122/11.] Ironing - machines with reciprocating irons and stationary tables. - The independent and interdependent movements of the reciprocating iron and the table of the machine described in the parent Specification are controlled by means of four pedals which lie over the arms of two double levers, co-operating together at adjacent ends. The mechanism is shown duplicated and mounted on a common standard 1 containing the main driving- gear 7. Each iron 3 is mounted on a pair of guide-rods 4 and is reciprocated from the main shaft 8 by means of an eccentric rod 6 and an arm 13 secured to the oscillating shaft 5. A loose arm 10 linked to the iron is coupled at will to this arm 13 by means of a bolt 12 controlled by a cam 14 connected with a lever 16, above which are pedals 17, 18. The table 21 is guided by rods 22 and is supported on springs 29 surrounding bolts 26, which are adjustably screwed to the table, pass loosely through a cross-head 25, and are provided with adjustable nuts 28. The cross-head is linked to an eccentric 24, loose on the shaft 8, and adapted to be rotated when a spring bolt 31 mounted in a rotating block 32 is allowed to engage a hole 33 in the eccentric. This bolt is controlled by cams 36, 37 on a fork actuated by a link 40 and a lever 42 controlled by pedals 19, 20. When one pedal is depressed, one of the cams comes into position to cause uncoupling when the table is raised, while the other pedal, when operated, effects the uncoupling when the table is lowered. One end of the lever 42 is below one end of the lever 16, and by the operation of the various pedals, the table can be raised with or without motion being given to the iron, and the iron can be stopped with or without simultaneous movement of the table.
