Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 8531. Johnson, C. M. April 8. Dry processes of extracting chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium; alloys.- In the reduction of tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, or other oxide ore, to a lower oxide or to metal, or the reduction of the oxide scale formed on tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and like steels, by enclosing separate bodies of the oxide and carbon-containing material in a furnace chamber and heating until reduction is effected, the body of oxide is disposed in an attenuated form. The respective parts of the charge are contained in a series of receptacles or boats 8 of incomplete cylindrical form which are packed in alternation in a long movable pipe 1 of comparatively small diameter, and preferably formed of wrought iron or steel. Two such tubes may be used in series, and the boats are prevented from sticking by projecting rivet heads or strips. The pipe may be heated by a gas-burner 5. On heating, the carbon first combines with the oxygen of the air remaining in the pipe to form carbon monoxide, which reduces the metallic oxide and forms carbon dioxide, and the carbon dioxide in the presence of carbon is reduced to carbon monoxide. The resulting excess of gas escapes through a vent 6 and may be burnt, the fall in the flame indicating complete reduction. A part of the carbon necessary for effecting the reduction may be mixed with oxide; also, a supplementary quantity of reducing gas, such as natural gas, may be supplied during the process.

Abstract: 18,057. Williams, J. July 29. [Cognate Application, 341/11.] Liquid-piston pumps; lever-actuated pumps; stroke, varying.-In an apparatus for feeding proportionate quantities of petrol and air to air-gas apparatus, a liquid-piston pump of the type having a pair of open-ended piston chambers, in each of which works a loosely-fitting plunger for forcing the actuating-liquid, such as mercury, into the pump chambers, is employed for supplying the petrol in conjunction with a rotary blower for supplying the air. The plungers i are operated by a lever j having a stroke-varying attachment j<2>. In order to give a uniform delivery of petrol throughout the length of the stroke, the lever is actuated by a heart-shaped cam p; or a similar result may be attained with an ordinary eccentric drive by shaping the plungers so that the displacement of mercury thereby varies from a minimum at mid-stroke to a maximum at the ends of the stroke. The ratio of petrol to air may be adjusted either by varying the stroke of the plungers, or by making them wedge-shaped and varying the mean position of reciprocation. Mercury-sealed suction and delivery valves e, h are employed.

Abstract: 29,589. Hermann, E., Fried, B., and Bolz, C. Dec. 20. Monogrammic signs.-In a sign of the sort in which letters &c. are built up by selective operation of groups of elements on a display field, the panels are composed of folding- flap elements capable of delineating the letters &c. in continuous curved or straight outlines, the flaps being so arranged that none of them overlap. The flaps may be moved by hand, or automatic controlling-apparatus may be used, consisting of sets of " display " and " delete " solenoids wired to. a switch box which is lifted intermittently against a rotary drum carrying adjustable set-teeth. Each tooth corresponds, according to its lateral position on the drum, to a particular character, and depresses a selected contact bar in the switch box to close the circuits appropriate to that character. The switch box is raised twice in succession and a commutator is simultaneously operated so that the first movement energizes the " display " solenoids of the selected group of flaps and the second movement the corresponding " delete " solenoids. As the drum rotates a number of letters are displayed in cyclical succession. Panels may be arranged side by side to display a number of letters &c. simultaneously, the controlling-devices of the various panels being geared to operate simultaneously. The arrangement of the pivoted flaps on a panel is shown in Fig. 1. Each flap is coloured on one side like the baseboard and on the other side differently, and is moved into its visible and invisible positions respectively by " display " and " delete " solenoids b, c, Fig. 2, which act on a common core to operate a rack g and pinion f. The automatic controlling-apparatus is shown in Fig. 3. Setting-drums q (one for each panel) are mounted on a continuously rotating shaft 34 and co-operate with switch-boxes 32. Each drum q has a number of notched bars r on each of which a sliding tooth 36 can be adjusted to a position corresponding to a particular letter. Each switch box 32 comprises a set of contact bars 68, one for each letter, which can be depressed by pins 33 into engagement with coiled contact springs wired to the operating-solenoids. When a tooth 36 is in its operative position, the table 35 carrying the switch-boxes 32 is raised by cams 65, and the tooth 36 depresses a contact bar 68 so as to complete the circuits of a group of the solenoids b. A letter is thus displayed and remains visible after the circuits have been broken by the dropping-back of the table 35. After an interval, but while the tooth 36 is still in operative position, the table 35 is raised again by cams 66, but in the meanwhile a commutator drum z, operated through genevastop mechanism, has shifted the connexions from the solenoids b, Fig. 2, to the solenoids c, so that the flaps previously actuated are now restored to their visible positions. When the cams 65 again come into action, the next tooth 36 is in the operative position and a different letter is displayed.
