Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Treatment of Liquids by Means of Ultra-violet Rays.
Inventor: HENRI VICTOR
IPC: A23L3/28
Filed: 1910-05-27
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 12,947. Henri, V., Helbronner, A., and Recklinghausen, M. von. May 27. Radiations, effecting chemical reactions by.-Apparatus using ultra-violet radiations for treating liquids in the form of a thin layer on a rotating cylinder has the cylinder 1, Fig. 1, enclosed in a casing 4 with a window 5 of quartz or other material permeable to radiations for the transmission of the rays from the lamp 7. By enclosing the cylinder in a casing, contamination with infected air is prevented, and the treatment can be effected in an inert or sterile atmosphere and under reduced or increased pressure. The cylinder dips into liquid in the casing, and the film is removed, after treatment, by a scraper 13. Or the liquid may be supplied to the cylinder by a plate 17, Fig. 2, and removed by a scraper 19, finally collecting in the casing. It is found when treating milk in the apparatus described in Specification 14,127/10, that butter is apt to be formed and spread over the cylinder by the scrapers. To prevent this, the particles of butter are removed by a roller made of, or coated with, rubber, which is in contact with the main roller and moves in the opposite direction. The butter is removed from the subsidiary roller by a,scraper. Or the butter may be removed by a roller 22, Fig. 4, provided with arms 26 of resilient material, and arranged so that the arms bend over when in contact with the cylinder and the scraper 27. The butter is collected on the scraper, and the milk collects in the spaces between the arms, and runs into the tank 14. In another form, the butter is removed from the cylinder by an endless band, which travels across the periphery of the cylinder, and is arranged parallel to the axis thereof. This endless band may be provided with raised portions. The butter may also be removed from the scraper by arranging that this is washed by the liquid in the receiving-receptacle, the liquid being intermittently drawn off by a siphon. The formation of butter may be prevented by arranging that the scrapers do not touch the cylinder, which is .rotated so fast that the liquid does not drip through the gap. The liquid may be removed from the cylinder by an air-jet. The air-jet 36 may be arranged as shown in Fig. 9, in which a screen 39 is arranged above the jet to collect any particles of liquid which may be blown away. The cylinder may itself be formed of quartz or similar material permeable to ultraviolet rays, being constructed of two half cylinders secured by collars at the ends. The lamp is arranged inside the cylinder, or may be placed at an open end of the cylinder, suitable reflectors being arranged outside and inside to reflect the rays through the cylinder. The forms of apparatus described are suitable for sterilizing milk, for maturing wines, spirits, and other potable liquids, for bleaching oils, and for promoting chemical reactions.

Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 13,159. Newson, C., and Schweikhart, H. A. May 31. Screw-and-nut platform load-handling appliances. - The corner racks of a worm-andrack lift are supported on screw-jacks in order to facilitate vertical adjustment. The cage E is suspended from an open framework composed of four horizontal girders 16 connected by bolts and distance-pieces d, e. Within the framework are arranged two casings 17 free to move laterally on rollers i, i<1>, each casing carrying, between ball - thrust bearings, a pair of vertical screws or worms 18 gearing with quadrantal racks or nuts 13, secured in the lift well. The worms are driven at top and bottom by spur pinions on vertical shafts 21 which are connected by bevel-gearing to the :notor shaft 30 having provision for slight end movement. A groove cut in the under-surface of the thread of the worms engages a similar groove in the upper surface of the teeth of the corner racks, and prevents the worms from leaving the racks. The lift may be driven by a hand-wheel 36<a>, which is put into gear with the motor shaft 30 by manipulation of a handle 41. Fig. 8 shows the jacks for supporting the racks 13. The base-blocks 15 are connected by a web 15<b> and bottom flange, and the adjusting-screws are locked by nuts w.

Title: Process of Opening, Carding and Roving Smooth Vegetable Fibres, and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: STARK EMIL GUSTAV
IPC: D02G3/00
Filed: 1910-05-31
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 13,220. Stark, E. G. May 31. Carding-engines; fibres, obtaining; openers; retting.-Smooth vegetable fibres, such as the seed hairs of kapock, calotropis, bombax, ochroma, cochlospermum, maximilianea, cotton silks, and the seed hairs of the group of asclepias, either alone or mixed with a smaller proportion of other fibres such as cotton, are made into rovings by a series of operations comprising brushing, to separate the seeds and panicles, opening, carding, and working by successive rubbing-apparatus. The fibres may be treated with'solvents to remove incrustations and to roughen their surfaces, and are doubled. and moistened between the successive rubbings. The fleece taken from the carding-engine may be used in the manufacture of wadding. The fibres, which are loosened if necessary in a. scutcher, willow, or opener, are fed between a. presser 11, Fig. 1, and a roller 12 to a brush drum rotating above a grid 23, and are carried by a current of air against a perforated drum 25, the seeds, panicles, grit, &c. passing through the grid and drum. After leaving this machine, the fibres may be treated with solvents, for example, hot or cold water, ether, acetone, carbon bisulphide, benzene, benzol, &c., or with vapours of such liquids, for a period of about two hours ; preferably, the temperature of the solvents is from 60 to 100‹ C. A preliminary carding, which may be dispensed with if desired, is effected in a machine comprising two cooperating toothed aprons, slightly inclined to the vertical, the flock being stripped therefrom by spiked cylinders and fed to an opener, shown in Fig. 3, which is provided with a leather-faced beater 48 and an adjustable perforated comb bar 52. The seeds fall through a grating 55, the bars of which are bent over to prevent clogging, and the fibres are drawn by*a current of air towards the delivery cylinders, and are then carded with a finishing or with a breaker and finishing carding-engine. The fleece from the carding-engine is divided and rubbed by rubbers a, b, c,. d, Fig. 4, of which b, d may rotate faster than a, b. After leaving the first rubbers, the slivers may be doubled and moistened with soapy water or steam, or a mixture of soapy water and steam. The mixing with other fibres may take place after the treatment with solvents, and may be preceded by bleaching, dyeing, &c. Yarn is spun from the roving upon a ring frame, self-actor, or like machine.

Title: Improvements in Safety Valves.
Inventor: COCKBURN DAVID
IPC: F16K17/08
Filed: 1910-06-09
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 13,971. Cockburn, D., and MacNicoll, D. June 9. Safety-valves.-In a safety-valve of the kind described in Specification 16,038/09, the auxiliary or pilot valve E is fitted with a piston P, past which fluid is allowed to escape to assist in closing the main valve D. The valve spindle D<1> also carries a piston I operating in a cylinder Y formed in the casing F. Pressure fluid enters the inlets B, H and leaks past the piston P to equalize the pressure on the piston 1. On increasing the pressure sufficiently, the pilot valve E is raised to release the pressure on one side of the piston I. The valve D then opens. When the pressure falls, the pilot valve closes, and fluid leaks past the piston P to the piston I, and the main valve D closes.
