Title: Improvements in or connected with the Manufacture of Salt.
Inventor: TEE HARRY
Filed: 1903-04-08
Granted: 1904-06-08
Abstract: 8117. Tee, H. April 8. Furnaces for salt. - Rock salt is purified by melting it, blowing heated air through the liquid, allowing impurities to settle, and drawing off the liquid into cooling floors or vessels, granulating - devices, &c. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the rock salt is fed into melting - vessels b closed by covers b<1>. From each vessel b the molten salt is transferred by a conduit f to a closed vessel c, two of which are connected to each vessel b The vessels are heated in a furnace, which may be regenerative, having separate chambers for the vessels c, communicating by openings having dampers a<4> with a chamber containing the vessel b. This chamber is separated from the combustion chamber a' by a perforated wall a<2>. Fig. 4 shows a modification for treating large quantities. The salt may be fed by a revolving feeder n, and is delivered by an inclined regenerative " revolver" m, through which the furnace gases pass, to the hearth a of a gas furnace a having gas and air supply openings p, p<1>. Air may be blown in through a pipe on each side of the furnace, so arranged as to cause the charge of salt to circulate round the hearth. The salt is run out through an opening q into ladles &c., which are allowed to stand in a fireplace or bed where the salt is treated with air, lime, &c.

Abstract: 647. Tooth, F. Jan. 12. Umbrellas, general arrangement of ; walking- sticks.-Relates to an umbrella built up upon a tube, the stick being passed through the tube and locked to it, in such a way that it can be withdrawn and used separately as a walking-stick. A rib f, Fig. 1, is formed on the tube c, and a collar g is mounted upon the runner e, so that, when the latter is at either end of its movement, a slight rotation of the collar will lock it against the feather as shown in Fig. 2. A stop i on the tube arrests the motion of the runner when the collar is opposite the gap h. To fix the tube to the stick, slits j are cut at the end of the tube, and a ring k may be slid along to force projections m, Fig. 5, against a collar or ornamental ring l on the stick. This collar may be formed, however, as a screw to engage the end of the tube. -An indiarubber cap n is fixed over the top notch to prevent water from passing between the tube and stick. For umbrellas that may be kept open or closed without special catches, the tube c, Fig. 7, is short and is split at the outer end and provided with a screw collar e for tightening it against the stick. The movement of the runner is stopped by the inner end of the tube and by a collar or ornament p on the stick.

Abstract: 5167. Morgan Crucible Co., and Spiers, C. W. March 2. Brush-holders, of the kind wherein the brushes are maintained in contact with the commutator by fluid pressure, have a close bellows or equivalent device inserted between the holder and brush. Two tubes a, b, Fig. 2, form a box inside which is placed a chamber j of india-rubber &c. The tube a is connected to a fitting c, suspended from a bar d, the fitting c having an aperture e to admit air to the chamber j from a reservoir or accumulator. The tube b bears on the brush e<1>, which is housed in the casing f attached to the tube a, the tube being provided with a nipple g to bear on the brush. For a double brush, two nipples g are provided to the tube b, Fig. 4, while, if vertical movement of this tube is not required, the tube a is dispensed with, as in Fig. 4. The tube b may be replaced by the pneumatic chamber j being formed in the shape of bellows, Fig. 3, rings l round the chamber preserving its shape. To isolate the chamber j from a range of brushes, the air or other fluid is conducted to the chamber by a groove q, Fig. 5, and a hole n in the sides of a nut and plug by which the chamber is attached. Across an opening k<1> in the plug is stretched a diaphragm m, which closes the hole n on rupture of the chamber. The nipple g and housing f may be replaced by any form of gripping-holder.
