Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 5488. BollÚe, L. Dec. 3, 1908. [Addition to 26,151/08, Class 106, Registering &c.] Levels, regulating.-Relates to the apparatus described in the parent Specification, for measuring and regulating the quantity of liquid splashed by a body moving in a container, such as a crank in the crank chamber of an explosion engine for motorvehicles &c. A portion of the liquid splashed in the container a, Fig. 3, is caught in a measuring-chamber b and returns to the container through a small orifice c. The chamber b communicates with a chamber d, containing a float f connected to one or more valves e, s, which regulate either the outlet g from the container, or the inlet q, or both. The fluid in the container is thus kept at such a level that the required amount of lubrication &c. is effected. Normally, the orifices g, q are both closed. In a modification, the valve or valves regulate orifices opening directly into the chamber d. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which a constant level is maintained in the chambers b, d by an overflow pipe h, through which surplus liquid returns to a supply tank m. The liquid is forced from the tank m to the chamber d through a pipe n. The chamber d may be arranged to collect the splashes during a given period depending on speed or time and to discharge them intermittently, the maximum height of liquid indicating the quantity of liquid splashed. The measuring-chamber may be made similarly to a sight-feed lubricator or output-counter.

Filed: 1909-03-09
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 5618. Gill, J. March 9. Iron oxides and hydrates; manganese chloride.- Ferric hydrate is precipitated from ferrous-chloride liquors, such as galvanizers'or wire-drawers' liquor, by treating with calcium carbonate and forcing carbonic acid and air into the liquor, while the liquor is maintained at a temperature and pressure above normal. Or the calcium carbonate may be treated in a separate vessel with carbonic acid under pressure, and the solution of bicarbonate added to the ferrous-chloride liquor. The precipitation is effected in a steam-jacketed pan A with a perforated false bottom a, beneath which the mixture of carbonic acid and air under pressure is supplied. A stirring-apparatus c keeps the liquor in agitation, and the escaping gases are led off by a pipe D<1> and returned to the carbonic-acid generator B for reuse, any steam being condensed in a coil E. The precipitate, before calcination to oxide, is treated with hydrochloric acid to remove any manganese oxides present, the liquors so obtained being used for the precipitation of siennas and umbers.

Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 9276. Soc. d'Exploitation de ProcÚdÚs Evaporatoires (SystÞme Prache and Bouillon). June 23, 1908, [Convention date]. Straight t u b e s between headers. - Apparatus comprising a heater 6, composed of externally - heated inclined tubes 7, and a separate evaporating- chamber 13, is so constructed as to provide high circulating velocities for both the liquid in the tubes and the heating-medium around them. The circulation of the liquid is effected by using heating-tubes 7, of which the length is at least 75 times the diameter, in conjunction with upper and lower reservoirs 13, 1, connected by return pipes 12, and by maintaining the effective level of the liquid about midway between the reservoirs. The heating-steam passes downwards along the tubes, carrying with it the water of condensation. In order to maintain a high velocity of flow, the cross-sectional area of the passage is restricted by making the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the tubes at least one-third of the cross-sectional area of the compartment. The reservoir 13 is provided with a steam-separator 14. The apparatus may be divided into compartments, as shown in plan in Fig. 2 and in end elevation in Fig. 3, by means of partitions 15, 2, 10 in the steamspace 6, and reservoirs 1, 13, respectively. The partitions 10 are so arranged that part of the liquid from each compartment is returned by the pipe 12 to the reservoir 1 for further circulation, while the remainder overflows for treatment in the next compartment, which contains more concentrated liquid. The heating- steam passes from one compartment to another by means of passages 16 formed between the partitions 15. In modifications, the compartments are entirely separated and may be superposed.

Title: Improvements in Weft Replenishing Mechanism for Looms.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1910-06-09
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 13,963. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. June 9. Welt-replenishing mechanism.-Below a multi-compartment stationary magazine 12 provided with bobbinretainers 16, a multicompartment bobbinconveyer or supplementary magazine 19, each compartment of which contains one bobbin only, is suspended on an arm and is rocked in accordance with the change-box movements to position beneath the transferrer a bobbin corresponding to that in the shuttle in use. After a bobbin has been transferred into the shuttle from the conveyer, the conveyer is moved automatically into a central position wherein its compartments register with those of the magazine 12. A bobbin is then released from the required compartment in the magazine 12, and falls into the empty compartment in the bobbin conveyer. A feeler lever 59, which is connected to a lever 56 connected to a lever 55, is caused to engage the weft on the shuttle in the single shuttle-box, and when the weft is substantially exhausted, the lever 55 engages one arm of a lever 54 on a rod 49 actuated by a cam 51 on the crank-shaft, the other arm of the lever 54 actuating, during the forward movement of the rod 49, an extension 14<a> of a slotted transferrer lever 14, which depresses a vertically-guided transferrer 13, 13<1> against spring action, thereby transferring a bobbin from the conveyer into the shuttle. The conveyer arm is connected by a rod 24 to a stud 25 on a slide 26 guided in a slot 27<1> in an arm 27 of a lever 28 connected by lever mechanism &c. 32, 33 to the change-boxes, a latch 30 normally supporting the slide in the position shown, so that the movements of the changeboxes may be transmitted to the bobbin conveyer. When, however, the transferrer arm 14 is depressed, it rocks a lever connected by a rod 40 to the lower arm of the latch 30, which is thereupon rocked and releases the slide. The slide then falls into a position substantially alined with that of the pivot of the lever 28, the connector 24 moving the bobbin conveyer to its neutral position whatever the position of the change-boxes. When the slide falls, a lever 35 connected thereto by a rod 34 also falls, and, by means of a rod 42, rocks a selecting-rod 44, which is moved automatically in unison with the change-boxes by lever mechanism 46, 48 connected to the lever 28, a plate secured to the rod 44 then actuating one of several rods 18, which normally engage extensions 16<3> on spring- controlled plates provided with the bobbin retainers 16, a particular one of which is thus withdrawn to release a bobbin from the required compartment of the stationary magazine, the bobbin falling into the empty compartment in the conveyer. A cam 39 returns the lever 35 and the slide 26 to normal position, wherein the slide 26 engages the latch 30, and the bobbinconveyer resumes its rocking movements in accordance with the movements of the changeboxes.
