Title: Improvements in and relating to Processes of Distilling Glycerine.
Inventor: WOOD FRANK JAMES
Filed: 1907-09-30
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 21,658. Wood, F. J. Sept. 30. Distilling glycerine.-Glycerine is distilled in a series of stills by means of a single current of steam. In order to obtain a uniform vacuum throughout the apparatus, the glycerine is treated in films or streams. The stills 3, 4, 5 are each mounted over reservoirs 6, and comprise externallyheated tubes 9 provided with spiral plates 13 over which the glycerine, derived from the reservoirs 6 by pumps 16, is spread by means of nozzles 14. The steam enters each still at the top, is superheated while passing through the upper portions of the tubes 9, and passes away together with the glycerine vapours by pipes 17 to the condensers 18, 19, 20. The condenser tubes are surrounded by hot water. The steam generated by the condensation of the glycerine is led away through pipes 28 and a pressure-regulating valve 29 into the steam-pipe 12. A vacuum of 28 ins. is maintained in the evaporating system, and the valve 29 is adjusted to give a vacuum of 16 ins. The condensers are thus maintained at 175‹ F., a temperature sufficient to condense the glycerine but insufficient to condense the steam, which passes away to the succeeding evaporators by pipes 27. The " sweet water " obtained from the supplementary condenser 30 passes by a pipe 32 to an evaporator 1, and is there concentrated. The vapours from this evaporator heat an evaporator 2 containing pure water, the steam thus generated being led into the pipe 12.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Heating Water, Milk, and other Liquids, for Sterilizing, or other purpose.
Inventor: FORBES JOHN SIMS
Filed: 1908-08-13
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 17,052. Forbes, J. S. Aug. 13. Heating liquids.-The Figures show a compact modification of the apparatus described in Specification No. 26,342, A.D. 1898, whereby in the heating and sterilizing of milk, water, and other liquids, the initial supply of cold liquid is insulated from the heat exchange, and the cold liquid container may be readily removed ; other modifications are made. A casing 1 mounted on a base supports a shell 4, from the bottom plate 6 of which depend tubes 5 entering a common chamber 7 at the bottom of the casing. A central tube 8 conducts cold liquid from a receptacle 3 at the top of the casing to the chamber 7, from which it rises through the tubes 5 to the shell 4. The tube 8 is surrounded by a sleeve 9, which is soldered to the chamber 7 and at its upper end passes through the tube plate 6, being connected by a short sleeve 10 to the tube 8. Within the shell 4. a funnel-shaped member 12 supports the receptacle 3 and has a tubular part 13, encircling the sleeve 10 and carrying a plate 14 which forms a cover to the shell 4 ; the receptacle 3 rests on a seat 15 on the member 12. The liquid is fed through a valved outlet 16 carried by a screwed cap 17 fitted over the end of the receptacle and carrying an outlet tube 19, having a sleeve with an aperture 22 allowing air to escape at the upper end. The outlet has a valve 23 on a stem the lower end of which is normally pressed upwards by the top of the tube 8, while when the vessel 3 is raised a spring 26 presses the valve on its seat. The liquid passing down to the bottom of the apparatus and rising again to the shell 4 is led into a beater 30 divided by an horizontal partition 35, through which passes a vertical tube 36 flared at the bottom. On being heated in the vessel 30, it rises through the tube 36 and passes by a tube 40 to the casing, wherein it surrounds and heats the tubes 5. The liquid escapes by a pipe 45 which is surrounded by a sleeve 48 and is perforated at the part 47 to provide an outlet and also at the top to prevent siphoning ; after filling the sleeve, it passes out by one of the spouts 49, 50, the other being closed by a cap. The shell 4 is perforated at its upper part to allow air to enter and cool the vessel 3. A glass bottle, which may replace the vessel 3, is shown in Fig. 8, having a screwed neck fitting the cap 17 and a groove in which lie wires or rods 59 by which the bottle may be lifted. The ends of a wire, one of which is screwed, are secured as shown in Fig. 10, by passing a collar 62 over them, screwing an eccentric nut 65 over the screwed end, and screwing a handle 66 on the collar.

Abstract: 21,024. Stockall-Brook Time Recorders, Stockall, J. J., and Brook, F. Oct. 6. Time-checking apparatus for workmen. Late time is printed in a different colour. A two-colour ink ribbon passes through guides 8 sliding on the sides of the card holder and having teeth to engage a fluted roller 19<1>, which gears with a mutilated pinion 20, the recess in which is always urged by a spring controlled pin 23 in a plate pivoted on the spindle of the pinion. A forked link 24 pivoted to the operating-lever also embraces the pin 23. Normally, motion of the pin 23 and pinion 20 is prevented by a cam 18 on the roller 19<1> engaging the head 16<1> of a spring plunger 16 which contacts with a disk 12 driven by the time wheels, but when a recess in the disk 12 is presented to the plunger the ink-ribbon guides are moved when the operating lever and link 24 are depressed so as to print the corresponding time in a distinguishing colour.
