Title: Improvements in or connected with Machinery for Measuring and Delivering Given Quantities of Granular Material
Inventor: PROKOFIEW GEORGE
Filed: 1908-05-26
Granted: 1909-05-26
Abstract: 11,398. Prokofiew, G. May 26. Revolving - cylinder pumps.-Apparatus for delivering measured quantities of granular materials is provided with (1) a rotary drum having transverse tubular measuring- chambers of adjustable capacity in which reciprocating pistons are employed to expel the measured material; (2) means for intermittently rotating the drum and for positioning it beneath a hopper; (3) means for preventing the operation of the apparatus in the absence of a proper receptacle to be filled or when the receptacle, such as a bag &c., is imperfect. (1) A drum c<2>, Fig. 1, which rotates beneath a hopper b, is fitted with a transverse tube c<4>, Fig. 9, which with the aid of the pistons c5 forms two measuring- chambers of adjustable capacity. The pistons are reciprocated by a lever f, Fig. 5, which is operated by a roller on an adjustable crank-pin e<3> on a disk e, and engages with a roller c<13> carried by a stud c<13>*, attached to the screwed spindle c<8> connecting the pistons. (2) The drum is intermittently rotated by means of a crank-pin g<3*>, Figs. 1 and 2, on a disk g<4>, which is driven by the mainshaft d through a ratchet-wheel d<3>, Fig. 18, pawl d<6>, and disk d<4>. The crank-pin g<3>* oscillates a toothed quadrant g' gearing with a pinion g, Fig. 13, by means of a connecting-rod g<3>, the motion being further transmitted through a chainwheel g<5> fixed to the pinion g, driving-pawl g<6>, and toothed disk g<7> fast upon the shaft c<3>. The drum is positioned during its intervals of rest with the tubular portion c<4> immediately beneath the hopper b by means of steps c<2*> which are engaged in turn by a pivoted pawl or lever h<1>, the tail of which is tripped by a stud e<5> upon the disk e before the drum is moved. (3) In the absence of a proper receptacle to be filled, or when an imperfect one i, Fig. 20, is placed in the guide i<1>, contact is broken between the bell-crank i<5> and contact-spring i<6>, and an electro-magnet d<13>, Fig. 18, being de-energized, a spring pulls the pivoted lever d
 so that a campiece d<6*> thereon comes into the path of a roller d' upon the driving-pawl d<6> and disengages the latter from the ratchet - wheel d<3>, thus stopping the machine. A modification, in which the lever f for reciprocating the pistons is formed as a counterweighted bell - crank lever, and in which the stopping and starting mechanisms are dispensed with, is illustrated in Fig. 28.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for the Manufacture of Methane or of Mixtures of Methane and Hydrogen.
Inventor: SABATIER PAUL
Filed: 1908-07-14
Granted: 1909-07-14
Abstract: 27,045. Sabatter, P. July 14. Hydrogen.-Apparatus for making mixtures of hydrogen and methane, by passing water-gas over heated nickel, comprises the arrangement of tubes b containing the coke, coal, or charcoal, copper purifying-tubes e, nickel hydrogenizing-tubes a, water-tubes c for producing steam, and a boiler G for decarbonating sodium bicarbonate solution, one above the other so that all are heated by one source of beat, namely coal or generator gas. A suitably arranged pyrometer C, such as that of Lechatellier shows continuously the mean temperature in the coke tubes b. Superheated steam is produced in the tube c, passes through a pipe d and through the coke tubes b, whence the resulting water-gas flows through a washer D and Laming mixture E to a scrubber F, wherein it passes up and against a counter current cf sodium carbonate solution, which absorbs contained carbon dioxide and leaves the scrubber charged with sodium bicarbonate. The partially decarbonated gas leaves the top of the scrubber F to pass through a second scrubber O, containing caustic potash or soda solution or powdered slaked lime, for complete decarbonation, after which the gas is passed through the tubes e containing copper in powder, shavings, or turnings to remove sulphur compounds, and then through one series of flattened metal tubes a in which slide plates containing the catalysing nickel. The temperature in these tubes is indicated by thermometers or pyrometers. Vertical cylinders with horizontal shelves to carry the metal may replace the tubes a. Any one series may be emptied, filled, &c. without interfering with the working of the rest. The hydrogen and methane finally pass through a purifier P and scrubber Q to a gasometer R. The sodium bicarbonate solution is forced by a pump K into the boilers G, the evolution of carbon dioxide being accelerated by the action of a suction pump H. The solution, now of normal carbonate again, is returned by a pump I to a reservoir N whence it flows again through the scrubber F. A cock f is provided between the steam-pipe d and the tubes a to admit steam thereto for cleaning purposes.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Sensitised Albumenized Paper for Photographic Purposes.
Inventor: HOLLINGSWORTH CHARLES
Filed: 1909-07-26
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 17,324. Hollingsworth, C. July 26. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Papers; toning. - In preparing sensitized albumenized paper with silver nitrate, the albumenized side of the paper is floated face downwards on a bath of silver nitrate, and is then blotted between blotting-boards, and the back of the paper is afterwards floated on a bath of citric acid. The citric acid permeates the paper as far as the albumen, forming syntonin or acid albumen which prevents any decomposition of the silver nitrate, and renders the free sulphur always present in albumen inert so that it does not blacken the paper. A strong silver-nitrate. bath is used for keeping the sensitizing - bath sufficiently strong, and a purifying-bath of permanganate of potash is used for purifying the sensitizing - bath for subsequent use. A goldchloride toning-bath for the paper is made by taking a stock solution of 2 oz. of anhydrous borax in one gallon of water, and adding 2 grammes of gold chloride to half-a-pint of the stock solution.
