Granted: 1910-01-07
Abstract: 21,164. Carrick, J. T., and Pattison, B. S. Oct. 7. Copper sulphide iron oxides &c. nickel oxides etc.; calcium sulphate; hydrochloric acid.-Nickeliferous mattes are treated with hydrochloric acid, and any metal of the copper group dissolved is precipitated with sulphuretted hydrogen and filtered off. The filtrate is then treated with a large excess of ammonia or ammonium carbonate and a current of air at normal temperature to precipitate ferroferric hydrate, which is then filtered off or removed by means of an electro-magnet. Any nickel contained in the iron hydrate is dissolved out with diluted hydrochloric acid or a body, such as ammonium chloride, that liberates its acid when boiled. The resulting solution may be added to the acid used in digesting the matte in the first stage of the process. The ammoniacal, nickelcontaining solution is evaporated with lime with precipitation of nickel hydrate and expulsion of ammonia. The calcium chloride is filtered off, treated with sulphuric acid and evaporated in a current of air whereby hydrochloric acid is recovered and calcium sulphate produced. The temperature of evaporation is kept at about 130 C. to prevent dehydration of the calcium sulphate.

Granted: 1911-01-13
Abstract: 934. Lempdes, M. A. V.R. de. Jan. 23. 1909, [Convention date]. Counters for articles.-In apparatus for issuing thin articles, provision is made in the issuing-device for electrically operating cash registers and recorders of known type and for allowing separate records &c. to be kept when the device is used by different operators. The tickets are kept in a number of containers b, Fig. 2, provided with carriers e, moving on slides e<1>, Fig. 3, and operated by push-pieces f connected to the carriers by levers g pivoted at g<1>. The slide f carries a claw f<4> adapted to move the lowest ticket forward on its return journey into position to be seized by claws on the carrier. The inward movement of the slide f feeds forward the ticket through the claws far enough to allow it to be withdrawn by hand. The price of the ticket supplied is recorded and added to the total of prices in a known type ot apparatus by means of electrical devices actuated by contacts k, k<1>, k<2> and a brush j on the slide f. The contact k is connected to the source of electrical energy, the contact k<2> to the keys of the registering-apparatus, and the contact k' to the mechanism controlling the starting - key whereby the power - mechanism driving the cash register is unlatched. The wire l<2> leading from the contact k<2> is subdivided to correspond with the value of the ticket issued. No current passes through the contacts k, k<1>, j on the inward movement of the slide f owing to the construction of the recorder, but after the amount has been recorded the totalizer is actuated by the backward movement of the slide f. To allow separate records of different operators to be kept, a switchboard is arranged with wires m, Fig. 6, corresponding to the values to be registered. A slide n carries one or more series of contacts o, each series equal in number to the wires m. The wires from each series are fed to a separate registering-apparatus, so that the keyboard must be set by each operator before commencing. A locking-device to ensure correct recording is provided on the ticket-issuing device, and consists of a bolt q, Fig. 8, normally locking the slide f and a number of pallets r<1>, r<2>, r<3>, to which the wire l<2> is led. The pallets are forced into contact with terminals s<1>, s<2>, s<3> by a projection v<1> on a key. The keys are formed with a common part to withdraw the bolt q, but the projections v<1> are differently placed to correspond with different registers c<1>, c<2>, c<3>, Fig. 2, each operator being thus compelled to register on his own device.
