Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Separating Hydrogen from Mixtures of Gases.
IPC: F25J3/06
Filed: 1911-04-13
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 9260. Ges. fur LindÚs Eismaschinen Akt.-Ges. March 4, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. [Addition to 7205/11.] Separating gaseous mixtures by liquefaction. -Consists in modifications in detail of the process for separating hydrogen from more easily liquefiable gases described in the parent Specification. In the process therein set forth of passing the compressed gases through a heatinterchanger, separately expanding the liquefied and gaseous portions, and passing the expanded gases through the interchanger in countercurrent to the incoming gas mixture, (a) the gaseous portion may be led through the interchanger without being expanded, (b) in the form in which the mixture is cooled by the evaporation of liquid air or nitrogen, the air or nitrogen is evaporated under reduced pressure, (c) the separated hydrogen only may be cooled by the liquid air &c. for the more complete separation of other gases; and (d) the hydrogen before reaching the expansion device may be passed through a heat-interchanger for cooling the incoming gases, thus warming the hydrogen slightly and preventing the solidification of impurities in the expansion device.

Abstract: 12,618. Maginn, F. May 25. Folding boxes; fittings, internal; lids and covers.-A box of cardboard &c. for millinery &c. is made to fold by having the sides and base scored centrally at e, the sides having also diagonal scores f, and this arrangement permitting the base and scored sides to fold flat between the other two sides. The box may be made from one piece of cardboard, but is usually made from three separate sheets. The stiffening-lips on the upper edges of the scored sides are fitted with elastic braids, bands,- or steel springs m, which can hold the lips set at right-angles to the sides, either inside or outside the box. In the form of box shown, a loose lid is provided, but, in a modification, the lips or flanges may be made sufficiently wide to cover in the whole top of the box, in which case the loose lid might be dispensed with. To facilitate folding, holes q may be formed at the meeting places of the creases on the sides, and these holes may also be utilized to receive the ends of a tying-string passing over the box lid.

Abstract: 13,492. Porter, E. S. June 8. Kinematograph apparatus; optical-projection apparatus; lens mounts. - Relates to means for film-centring, fire - preventing, facilitating insertion of the film, adjusting position of lantern and focusing of film-projection and slide - projection lens, and to holders for slides and for condenser lenses. Simultaneous film and shutter adjustments are obtained by turning the handle i<3>, which adjusts the film by rotating the drum i<2>, on which are centrally and eccentrically mounted the starwheel k<2> and the pinwheel i<9> respectively, and adjusts the shutter by contact between the cam i on the drum i<2> and the sliding plunger h<6>, which, through the lever h and the keyed spiral pinion f<3>, rotates the shaft f<5> driving the shutter. Independent shutter adjustment is obtained by turning the head h<5> of the screw h<4> and thus sliding the block h<3> carrying the pivot of the lever h. A fire-preventing screen is actuated through a series of pivoted links from a centrifugal element comprising two segmental blocks m<12> and a sleeve m<9> on the rotating shaft e<15>. To insert the film, the movable part n of the gate is moved inwards by pressing the knob m<8> of the rod n<2> carrying the part n against the action of the spring n<3> until it catches. The part n of the gate is removable for cleaning. Slots c<13> are provided in the drum supports to facilitate insertion of the film sideways. The lamp-house b and projection c are supported upon a platform a<3> which is pivoted at a<4> to a rotary member a<5> of the pedestal a<2>, and can thus be tilted or rotated to any desired angle. The base b<2> of the lamp-house is so mounted on a bracket a' of the platform a<3> as to allow of the movement of the lamp-house parallel to itself to bring it before either the film-projection lens o or the slide-projection lens d. The lens o is focused from the knob o‹ outside the camera through rack-and-pinion mechanism and the position of the lens d is adjustable from the knobs d<5> and d<8>. The slide-box b<6> is mounted on two rods b<5> adapted to be moved away from the lamp-house and attached to the slide-box is a half-ring b<7> carrying one of the elements b<8> of the condenser. a similar half-ring b<9> adjustable in the half-ring b<7> carrying the other element b<11>.

Abstract: 19,395. Notarianni, G. Aug. 24. Parachutes.-A self-expanding parachute 2 is released on an aeroplane, to which it is universally jointed, when the machine tilts sufficiently to enable a ball 42, Fig. 5, to fall from a cup 41; the device may also be manually operated, or be locked out of action. When the ball 42 is displaced from the cup 41, or when a rope 51 connected to the lever 40 is pulled, the outer end of the lever 40 depresses a sliding rod 25 and causes a notch 50 on the rod to be disengaged from a frame 34, whereupon a spring 33 withdraws the rod from a hole in a pivoted link 17. When the link 17 is freed. a spring 14, connected to the link by a rope 21 and ring 22 contracts and rotates a Z-shaped member 8, the upper arm of which normally maintains the closed parachute in the lowered position. The withdrawal of the member 8 enables the elastics 30 of the parachute to draw up the collar 28 and so open the parachute. The parachute may be re-closed during flight by first pulling on a cord 27 connected to the collar 28, and then pulling on a cord 18, which lowers the stem 3 of the parachute until it rests on the support 11. The member 8 is then placed over the parachute, and the parts in the box 16 are reset. The ball is prevented from leaving the cup during descent by moving a bar 46 over it. According to the Provisional Specification, the parachute is connected by cords to the machine.

Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 2391. Brock, A., and Brock & Co.'s " Crystal Palace " Fireworks, C. T. Jan. 29. Lighting-torches, non-electric.-Relates to fuse-lighters made of paper or like cases filled with lighting - composition and provided with a wooden handle at one end, and consists in the use of an axial core of metal having a slower rate of combustion than the lighting-composition and secured at its inner end to the handle. Fig. 1 illustrates such a fuse-lighter, comprising a cylindrical paper case a filled with lighting- composition c and having a core d of metal such as iron wire, embedded at d<2> in the wooden handle b. In one modification, the core d is secured at its inner end by being rolled in between the handle b and the case a. In another, the core a is embedded in an axial boring in the handle b. On ignition, the core burns more slowly than the composition; it thus projects beyond the composition and renders the extinction of the flame less liable. When the core is a good conductor of heat, it becomes hot throughout its length, and re-lights the composition if this should accidentally be extinguished.
