Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Copper Compounds or Solutions thereof.
Filed: 1911-04-28
Granted: 1912-04-29
Abstract: 10,338. Ralph, S. J., and Sulphates, Ltd. April 28. Copper sulphate and other copper salts; ferric oxide.-Copper salts are obtained free from iron by adding to copper liquors (after first neutralizing if necessary by copper oxide) barium oxide, hydrate, or carbonate, and an oxidizing-agent such as a current of air. There must be enough sulphuric acid or sulphate present to convert the added barium into sulphate. According to the Provisional Specification, the barium compound may be replaced by copper oxide, hydrate, carbonate, or a suitable cuprous salt or an alkali or alkaline earth. In an example, roasted copper precipitate is treated with insufficient sulphuric acid to dissolve all the copper oxide, and air is blown through the liquor.

Filed: 1911-07-20
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 16,706. Carpenter, C., and Chandler, D. July 20. Incandescent gas burners. - In high-pressure incandescent gas lamps lit by increasing the pressure of the gas, which normally is sufficient only to keep the flash-light supplied, means are provided to admit pure gas to the burner and ignite the same by the elongation of the flashlight before any air is allowed to enter the Bunsen tube. The gas-supply pipe g opens into a cylinder a which communicates with the Bunsen tube e by an orifice j. The piston-rod d is provided with two pistons c, the lower of which carries a cone for closing the orifice j. A pipe h connects the spaces above and below the piston c, and the flash-light tube i opens into the space above the piston. The piston-rod d carries a cross-head m and frame n, which is adapted to engage a sleeve o covering the air inlets p of the Bunsen tube when the piston rises. When the high-pressure gas is admitted, the piston rises, and pure gas is admitted to the Bunsen tube. At the same time, the flashlight is elongated and ignites the gas, but, as the piston. continues to rise, the supply of gas to the flash-light is cut off, and the air inlets p are opened. The speed of the piston is regulated by a screw - controlled air - escape k, and the escape of air along the piston-rod is prevented by a collar l. The mixing-tube is provided with a chamber q for heating the mixture on the way to the burner. The chamber q is star-shaped in cross-section, Fig. 4, and the arms r, which may be provided with vertical gills r<1>, contain narrow chambers s divided transversely by partitions t, Fig. 3.

Abstract: 23,080. Pledath, M. Oct. 19. Hiring telephones.-The receiver hook t of a telephone is normally looked by a spring-controlled lever d, which can be withdrawn by the owner by the operation of a lever k connected to an alarm bell, and by others than the owner by the insertion of a coin and the operation of a push-rod c. The casing is divided into two parts by a partition B provided with slots n, n<1>, the lever d being pivoted to one side of the partition, while a guideway p is attached to the other side. After prepayment, the operator presses in the rod c, thereby moving back a spring-controlled slide q and rocking the lever d so as to free the receiver hook, the lever being retained in the inoperative position by a spring- controlled pawl f. A pin r on the slide q works in the slot n and co-operates with a slot g' in the lever d. When the receiver is replaced on the hook, the pawl f is tripped, permitting the return of the locking-lever. The owner can re-set the apparatus, after using it, by turning the pawl f by means of a pin m. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-The inserted coin couples a pin c<1> on the push-rod c to the slide q. When the push-rod is released, the coin drops into position against the pawl f, as shown in Fig. 2, and, when the receiver is replaced, the receiver hook moves the coin laterally so as to trip the pawl f, the coin passing through an aperture h to the monev-box i.

Title: Subtracting Apparatus for Cash Registers and like Machines.
Inventor: A PAUL JAPY
Filed: 1911-12-20
Abstract: 28,648. Japy, A. P. Dec. 20, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Cash registers with operating-means; keyboards. -Relates to keyboard mechanism for cash registers of the kind in which two banks of keys are provided in each denomination for amount tendered and purchase amount respectively. The main crank 6 drives a pinion 7 gearing with a drum 9 having five sets of pinions for driving a crank-disk 11 to oscillate a main rocking-shaft 12, the gearing being arranged so as to give two complete oscillations of the shaft 12 for two turns of the handle. Each denomination comprises key-banks for purchase amounts on the right increasing downwards, and for amount tendered on the left increasing upwards, three rocking disks 23, 24, 22 loose on the main shaft 12, and two driving-arms 17, 18 fast on the shaft 12. The action of the apparatus is for the left-hand disk 22 to be coupled to the central disk 24, which it turns by the additive key value; uncoupling then takes place, and the right-hand disk 23 is coupled thereto, and the middle disk is turned backwards by the subtraction key value, the middle disk having teeth to operate counting, printing, or other elements. The couplings are effected by radially moving spring-pressed slide blocks 25, 42 in the disks 23, 22 respectively, and a slide 34 in the middle disk. After the keys have been set, the initial movements restore the disks to zero position, the slides 25, 42 having one-way latch ends so as to pass the keys as is necessary. The slide 25 has a stud 32 to engage recesses in the rim of the middle disk, and has a projection 38 to move in an arc 36<1> in a lever 36 pivoted in the middle disk and adapted to move radially the slide 34 thereof to engage and disengage it with and from the slide 42 of the left-hand disk. The slide 25 has a lug 25<a> for engaging the driving-arm 18, which has a projection 20 to engage a shoulder 36<a> on the lever 36. The slide 42 has a spur 49 for engaging a projection 21 on the driving-arm 17 and has a latch 52 for engaging a bolt 55 for holding the slide 42 in its inner position, the catch being released by a pin 71<a>, Fig. 1, on a lever 71. A pair of shafts 63, 64 are rocked by connecting-rods 75 from a disk 9<a> mounted loose on the shaft of the drum 9 and driven by a cam groove therein through a lever 77 and rack 76. The shaft 63 rocks a finger 73, for depressing the slide 25, and the shaft 64 rocks a sleeve 66 having a roll for rocking the lever 71 pivoted on the shaft 12, and having an arc 68 for locking the adjacent disk 22 by engaging between pins 41 thereon. To prevent wrong operation of a slide and disk for a key-bank in which no key has been depressed, a pivoted dummy key is fitted in the zero position at each key-bank, and is tripped out of active position when the key detent-plate is rocked by the depression of a significant key.

Abstract: 21,175. Bystron, J., and Vietinghoff, Karl, Baron von. Sept. 17. Iron tanning.-Iron-tanned leather is treated with solutions of basic alkali salts, or alkali bases, or neutral alkali salts of strong acids, whereby some of the iron oxide is converted into an insoluble basic salt which imparts softness to the leather. The leather is treated so as to be as basic as possible, for which purpose basic alkali salts, such as borax, soda, sodium hydrate, &c. are preferably used. The leather may be fulled in a concentrated salt solution. or the solution may be applied to the surface of air-dried leather. After the salt has acted, it may be removed simultaneously with the existing acid iron salts by washing the leather in water.
