Title: Improvements in Gas-heated Tables used for or in connection with Brazing, Soldering or similarly Operating upon or Heating Metals.
IPC: B23K1/008
Filed: 1910-04-13
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 8917. Richmond Gas Stove and Meter Co., Mead, A., and Taudevin, E. P. April 13. Metal-heating stoves; supports for articles to be heated; screens.-A gas or vapour heated table, for heating metal articles to be brazed, soldered, or similarly treated before the blowpipe is applied, consists of a plate j, which is rotatably mounted by a spindle b in bearings in a frame d carrying gas-burners e in such a manner that the heat cannot be dissipated laterally. The plate j, which is perforated, receives the work or is covered with a layer of gas-fire fuel on which the work is received; it is carried by a circular rim i projecting from the arms h on the spindle b. To the rim i is fixed. a double casing k with an intermediate layer of slag-wool or other insulator, which depends below the nozzles of the burners e. The nozzles of the burners may be surrounded by a ring of fire-bricks or other heat-resisting material n, mounted on an angle-bar frame m. One or more annular deflectors l, which may consist of hollow sheet-metal bodies filled with asbestos &c., are used to concentrate the heat and guard the operator, who stands behind a sector-shaped shield o. The table is rotated by handles s, and a pointer r is used so that the table may be stopped in a position in which the arms h are clear of the burners.

Abstract: 11,505. Potter, T. I. May 9. Type,- wheel actions; hammer - impression arrangements.-A change-giving machine provided with groups of keys, the keys of each group governing the final position of a swing- ing arm which controls the selector plate for governing the ejectors, is provided with a typesegment P mounted under each group and connected by an adjustable connexion with the swinging arm F of that group. Movement of this arm consequently positions the segment. Movement of an arm J<1>, connected to the operating-handle, depresses a platen P<1> against its spring P<2>, a pawl on the arm J<1> first depressing and then riding off a projection on the platen, the projection being provided with an incline to deflect the returning-pawl. The platen is thus depressed and released to strike on the under side of a voucher placed on a table P<3> beneath the segment P. Roller inking-arrangements.-An inking-roller P<5> is journaled on pivoted arms and held up by a spring, being depressed for re - inking by a handle P<8>, and may be withdrawn through an aperture normally closed by a finger-piece P<9> on the end of the roller.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Safety Valves for Steam Boilers and the like.
Inventor: AULD JOHN
IPC: F16K17/04
Filed: 1910-05-10
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 11,539. Auld, J., and Graham, J. May 10. Safety - valves. - Relates to a safety-valve which is given an increased lift by means of an auxiliary valve which admits steam to a piston connected to the main valve. In the valve shown in Fig. 1, steam raises the main valve b and also a valve d which admits steam to a piston e. The piston e is loose upon the spindle f to prevent jamming, and when raised, contacts with a collar o on the spindle and increases the lift of the valve b. In the valve shown in Fig. 3, the piston e fits loosely in a chamber g, steam having access to both sides of the piston. When the steam lifts the auxiliary valve d, the pressure above the piston e is relieved. The piston then rises, and its spindle e<1> engages with the main valve b and increases its lift.

Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 26,157. Hodgkinson, F. Nov. 11, 1909, [Convention date]. Steam - regenerative accumulators. - Steam entering by a pipe 14 forces water from the receiving-chamber 3 up the pipe 10 into the delivery chamber 4 until the continuity of the column is broken.

Title: Method and Apparatus for Raising and Forcing Liquids.
Inventor: KOERVER JOSEF
Filed: 1911-07-28
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 17,283. Koerver, J. July 28. Actuating by compressed air.-In apparatus for raising liquids by compressed air, as soon as the liquid has been removed from the forcing- chamber, the air pressure is increased in order that it may move the regulating-valve into the discharge position. Fig. 3 shows one of a pair of forcing-chambers, and Fig. 2 the valve-gear. Water is admitted through the inlet valve b', Fig. 3, and discharged through the valve c<1>, and air is admitted by the passage l<1>. The regulating-valve comprises a slide valve h and piston i arranged in a common casing; the slide valve is connected to an air-compressor through the pipe a, and the exhaust pipe d is connected to the suction of the compressor. The ports e, e' are each connected to a forcing-chamber and are also connected by narrow ducts g, g' with the piston cylinder f. The slide valve and piston i are connected outside by means of links, and a weight l is provided to give quick movement to the valve. In the position shown, water will enter the chamber connected with the port e', while from the chamber or chambers connected with the port e the water will be forced until the leather or rubber band o<1> is forced upwards to its full extent, when the pressure in the air pipe rises. The compressed air then passes through the duct g, forcing down the piston i and reversing the slide valve. The liquid may be raised in stages by these means, the chambers being arranged at suitable intervals.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Magnetic Separation of Ores.
Inventor: DALGLEISH IAN SCOTT
IPC: B03C1/23
Filed: 1911-09-04
Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 19,678. Dalgleish, I. S. Sept. 4. Magnetic separators.-For the magnetic separation of ores &c., the material is fed into an alternating or pulsating field, and the magnetic particles alternately fall from and are reattracted to a magnetic pole, so that while the non-magnetic particles fall to one place, the magnetic particles are conveyed to another place without the aid of any mechanical device. As shown in Fig. 1, the alternating or pulsating field is maintained between the inclined pole-pieces d arranged on the side or sides of a tank a, and the non-magnetic material, under the action of gravity, and the intermittent magnetic attraction moves down the inclined poles and falls into a hopper h. The surface of the poles is covered with glass or other non-magnetic material, and, in order to give the magnetic particles an additional shock, a wire z or suitable ribs, grooves, or corrugations may be arranged in the path of such particles. A number of separating-gaps may be formed in one tank by means of armatures shaped similarly to, and arranged between, the poles d. When the separation is effected in water, discharge valves r are provided, operated by means of the float q.
