Title: An Improved Brick Making Machine.
Inventor: ADAMS ADAM
Filed: 1898-06-08
Granted: 1899-04-01
Abstract: 12,851. Adams, A. June 8. Moulding bricks.-Fig. 3 shows a diagrammatic view of the moulding-press. A series of adjustable moulds are arranged in pairs round a cylinder A which rotates uniformly about an axis p. The moulds are filled with clay from a hopper E, and each brick is compressed twice by plungers C, I. The plungers C travel with the cylinder, and are actuated by a cam D on which the rollers c work. The plungers I are carried by two oscillating segments, not shown, which are counterbalanced so that the one on the left tends to fall and that on the right to rise. These segments, therefore, move with the cylinder, a stop on each resting against a latch, during the pressing operation they are then automatically latched to a driving- wheel on the shaft p, which moves in the opposite direction at four times the speed of the cylinder, returned to starting position, and unlatched for a new movement. Two eccentrics J, J<1> on the shaft p operate the plungers I by levers m, n, n<1>, links o, and toggles l. When the pressure has been twice applied, the plunger C rises into the position shown, and a lever actuated by projections moving with the cylinder thrusts out the completed brick. The feed of the hopper E can be regulated by an adjustable leverover the cam D just below the hopper, which regulates the depth to which the plunger C, receiving the clay, can fall.

Filed: 1898-09-17
Granted: 1899-07-15
Abstract: 19,767. Raschen, J., and United Alkali Co. Sept. 17. Cyanides. - Relates to the manufacture of cyanides from sulphocyanides by means of oxidizing-agents, and consists of improved means for carrying out such processes. A series of nine decomposing-vessels A', A<2>, &c. are connected together by overflow pipes a, and are heated by means of steam supplied by a pipe c. The vessels are charged up to the overflow pipe with water. The first vessel A' is continuously supplied by a pipe b with sodium or other sulphocyanide and, at first, with nitrate of soda, and by a pipe d with sulphuric acid. The excess of liquid overflows from vessel to vessel, that escaping from the last one being a solution of acid sodium sulphate. The sulphocyanide is oxidized to sulphuric acid and hydrocyanic acid, and the nitric acid is reduced mainly to nitric oxide. The vapours given off from the vessels pass by the flue shown to a washtower E containing broken bricks or the like, over which water flows, and the solution produced, containing nitric acid and a little hydrocyanic acid, is run back into the vessel A' by a pipe f. The gases escaping from the wash-tower pass into a cooler or condenser H, and the condensed liquid runs therefrom through a box i and pipes i<2> back to the vessel A<2>. The gases pass from the condenser to absorbers K provided with cooling- jackets and supplied by pipes k, with caustic alkali or alkaline earth which takes up the hydrocyanic acid. The remaining gases pass up through towers M packed with bricks or the like, and supplied from above with cold water and from below with air, whereby the nitric oxide is converted into a solution of nitric acid, which is run back by the pipe n into the vessel A<1> for re-use. The cyanide solution formed in the absorbers is evaporated to dryness in vacuo, or it may be converted into ferrocyanide by means of iron salts in the usual manner. It is preferred to maintain a slight vacuum in the whole apparatus to prevent leakage of gas.
