Granted: 1899-03-25
Abstract: 2967. Ramsay, E. Feb. 9. Ingots.-Relates to apparatus for use in casting pigs or ingots by a continuous process. A series of moulds E are mounted upon a conveyer A, which is circular in plan and runs upon rails D. The conveyer is driven by means of a circular rack L and pinions R on a shaft N. The metal is run into the moulds from a runner P through passages 0, formed radially in a drum M, which is rotated by gearing n, n<1>. The refractory lining u may be formed with sharp ridges, or with broader edges, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4. As the moulds travel beneath the drum, they are filled successively, and, after each mould has been filled, the supply is cut off by an adjacent ridge of the lining. The moulds are mounted upon trunnions e, carrying toothed wheels G, which engage with a fixed rack for the purpose of turning the moulds upside down and discharging the ingots. A series of vertically-reciprocating hammers, arranged above the moulds, are used for facilitating discharge of the ingots. During part of their passage from the casting-drum to the place of discharge, the ingots are cooled by water issuing from a perforated pipe. The moulds, after passing the discharging-place, are coated with refractory material projected against them, preferably by means of a steam jet. The conveyer may be of any other suitable form, and the runner may have a hanging partition to form a skimming-compartment; the lower part of the runner beneath the partition may be provided with a door or valve for use in draining the runner.

Granted: 1900-07-14
Abstract: 2703. Schlomann, H. W., and Castro, A. de. Feb. 10. Waterproof materials; waterproofing.-Any porous materials, such as waterproof mantles, sailcloth, stuffs, linen, balloon material, textile fabrics of all kinds, ropes, or hose, are passed through a trough containing a solution of any desired metallic salt, such as of copper or zinc. The material is then passed by means of feeding-rolls to a table which has a metallic surface A<1> forming a cathode, and is afterwards covered by a hinged metal plate, the lower portion A' of which forms an anode, while the upper portion A acts as a heavy lid or cover. The particular shape of anode and cathode here shown is intended for use in treating ropes, which are held in the grooves R. On passing the current, the material becomes impregnated by the deposition therein or thereon of copper, nickel, iron, titanium, or other metal, and is rendered both waterproof and non-combustible. Textile material thus treated may be suitable as roofing-material or for wearing-apparel, while in the case of coloured stuffs, the colours are rendered fast. The hydrogen produced during the process is blown away by compressed air fed through the tube H. The lid is afterwards raised, the material withdrawn by other rolls, and fed to winding-rolls. To treat hose, it is drawn over a tube laid upon the table, the anode and cathode forming lengths of half tubing.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Gas or Vapour Burners.
Inventor: HOUSE HENRY ALONZO
Filed: 1900-05-31
Granted: 1901-05-25
Abstract: 10,038. House, H. A. May 31. Vapour burners.-The efficiency of the valve g, which controls the flow of the vapour through the burner orifice, is increased by causing the valve to be actuated by the pressure of the liquid combustible upon a diaphragm a or its equivalent, instead of by the pressure of the escaping vapour upon the comparatively small surface of the valve itself. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the liquid combustible on its way to the vaporizer e, f traverses the chamber b, and actuates the diaphragm a, which by means of the yoke h and the detachable hook or connection j transmit, the motion to the valve g. The pressure of the liquid combustible may first actuate a sleeve or piston which controls the openings into the chamber b, and may act against an adjustable spring or its equivalent which is attached to the diaphragm and cooled by the flowing liquid. The valve may, however, be actuated by a hand-lever, which moves over a graduated quadrant, and is connected to the yoke h by a slotted link.

Title: Improvements in Coin-freed Mechanism for Delivering Change and for other Purposes.
Inventor: WHITENG EDWARD HERCULES
Filed: 1900-09-19
Granted: 1901-09-19
Abstract: 16,737. Whiting, E. H. Sept. 19. Money-delivering apparatus.- The apparatus is primarily designed to deliver change for gold coins, but may also be used for delivering articles. Skeleton boxes, Fig. 4, each containing change for a sovereign, are piled one above another, and the lowest one of the pile is obtained, after paying in the sovereign, by pulling out a drawer k which bears a displacing-arch y. During the operation a cam rail 6 causes a stirrup z to lift a hinged plate 4 to support the remainder of the pile of boxes. If the sovereign inserted at a slot g is under weight, it passes as indicated by the dotted arrow into a shoot f pivoted at e, and escapes by another slit s'. The sovereign of full weight overpowers an adjustable counterweight on the weight f, and tips it over to the right so as to roll out against a stop bar r. The shoot is then clear of a rack l upon a plate i which forms part of the delivery drawer k. A hole in the plate i allows the coin to drop through. A vertical plate t attached to the drawer-plate constitutes a shutter to the coin slits. When the last box of change has been removed, a bent arm d turns slightly on its pivot e', and its free end d<4> enters a notch d<3> when the drawer k is fully pulled out, and so locks the apparatus. The mechanism is contained in a cupboard a having a door b at the front of a hinged top b<1>. The boxes of change are piled up in a holder, which consists of four vertical rods u on a base-plate v, and is inverted to put the two rear rods into sockets w.
