Title: Process for Manufacturing Stone
Inventor: MCCLENAHAN JACOB COOKE
Filed: 1902-11-03
Granted: 1903-11-03
Abstract: 24,023. MoClenahan, J. C. Nov. 3. Stone, artificial; fireproof compositions; casting.-Relates to the manufacture of a hard artificial stone, both fireproof and waterproof, and consists, essentially, insaturating the material of which the mould is prepared with a hardening-liquid which is absorbed by the stone as it sets. The moulding-material 2 is contained within a flask or mould 1, and consists of clean sharp sand saturated with a solution of sulphuric acid, alum, and lime-water. Cores 4, if used, are of the same material. The stone composition 3 consists of Portland cement and crushed stone or sharp sand, mixed dry, and brought to the consistency of a thin mortar by the addition of water. During the setting and hardening process, the facings of the mould adhere more or less to, and become incorporated with, the stone ; the residual hardening-material is removed from the face of the stone after the stone has been cured. In moulding stone of large size, the exposed face or faces of the block may be of fine material backed up with coarser material consisting of cement together with sand, gravel, crushed stone, &c. Mineral pigments may be added to the hardening- solution, and are absorbed by the stone. Columns, capitals, mouldings, reliefs, statuary, &c. can be conveniently produced by this process.

Title: Improved Tip-waggon or Truck.
Inventor: LOENS BERNHARD
Filed: 1903-07-27
Granted: 1904-07-07
Abstract: 16,515. Loens, B. July 27. Tip-wagons. - For unloading wagons, the body is adapted to be displaced to either side, so that one of the flaps forming the bottom opens and discharges the contents. To displace the body, it is moved on rollers a' by means of pinions z, B and a rack D operated by a crank x, so that flaps c, c<1> are brought to the edge of the bottom d. One flap will then open, discharging the contents of the vehicle. For returning the parts to normal position, a spring i may be provided on a rod h passing through the part m, so that, when the flap is pressed open, the spring is compressed as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 7. To keep the flap open, a catch n, under the action of a spring r, engages the edge of a bar p. To release the flap, the body must be displaced a little further until a lever u comes into contact with a stop v, when a catch w, so actuated, disengages the catch n. If desired, the flaps need not meet at the bottom of the vehicle, but the part d may be left exposed. In lieu of the spring arrangement for closing the flips, on moving the body more to one side after unloading, the flaps may be brought to bear upon sliding surfaces and so returned to closed position, where they are retained by a catch which is disengaged when the body is moved back again to a central position.

Title: Improvements in Brakes for Automobile and other Vehicles.
Inventor: KRUSEMAN HENRY
Filed: 1904-05-30
Granted: 1904-09-01
Abstract: 12,258. Kruseman, H. May 30. Brakes. - Band brakes are so arranged and constructed, as to act with equal intensity in either direction of rotation of the wheel, the force exerted by the driver being the same, and applied similarly, in either case. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, when the brake drum and wheel rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow, a pull exerted by the driver on the cord c', and transmitted by the lever i to the band b, causes the lever i to pivot around the hook e', and assume the position shown. When the brake drum rotates in the reverse direction, a pull on the cord c' causes the other end of the lever i to pivot around the hook f<1>. The brakes thus act with maximum intensity in either direction of rotation of the drum. Fig. 6 shows a similar arrangement, in which the lever m is formed with two grooves n, o, the ends p, q of the brake band being fixed to axes r, s, which are capable of sliding in the grooves. When a pull is exerted by the driver on the cord v, with the drum rotating in the direction indicated by the arrow, the lever m pivots on the book u and the axes r, s slide to the lower ends of the grooves n, o, so that the pull exerted by the driver is transmitted directly to the end p of the brake band. When the brake drum rotates in the reverse direction, the lever pivots on the hook t, and the axes r, s slide to the upper ends of the grooves, so that the pull exerted by the driver is transmitted direct to the end q of the band. The end of the cord may be fixed to an axis moving in a groove, or may be attached at a point x away from the centre line of the lever, as shown in Fig. 7.

Title: Apparatus for Recovering Zinc and other Sulphides from their Ores by the Wet or Chemical Process
Inventor: GILLIES JAMES HYNDES
Filed: 1904-09-19
Granted: 1904-12-01
Abstract: 20,160. Gillies, J. H. Sept. 19. Washing ores.-Relates to apparatus for recovering the finely-divided particles which are carried towards the surface by the rising gases during the extraction of zinc and other sulphides from their ores by a wet process. The pulverized material is distributed by a hood N and a combined baffle and support P around the circumference of a vessel A, preferably circular in plan, and tapering towards the bottom. The baffle P directs the material below the surface of the liquid and behind a series of inclined V-shaped shoots C, concentric with the vessel and communicating with a central discharge channel B. Each of these shoots has one member C<1> wider than the other C<2> and overlapping the member C<2> of the adjacent shoot, but with a small distance between. The particles which rise to the surface of the liquid pass between the edges of the shoots and slide down on the inside to the channel B, whence they are run off to a collecting- vat D. The tailings pass down a series of steps E on the inside of the vessel, by which means they are sufficiently exposed to chemical action, the dross finally escaping by a pipe L to a tank M. The pipes K, L are contracted at their openings into the vessel so that they are not liable to ba choked. The liquid reagent is supplied by branch pipes G, H, which open immediately above the discharging-pipes. The supply pipes being situated at the bottom of the vessel, there is a minimum of cooling effect and consequently a lower temperature of the heating-appliance is necessary and less corrosion of the latter by the acid &c. results. Heat is supplied to the vessel A by means of a fire, or by a steam jacket or coils. The steps E may be formed in a separate metal sheet which acts as a heating-jacket. The level of the liquid reagent is kept constant by a valve I' in the supply pipe, actuated by a float situated in a chamber I communicating with the vessel A by a pipe J. The liquid in the tanks M, D can be pumped back into the vessel A by way of the valve I.
