Title: Improvements in Boiler Alarms.
Inventor: HOPWOOD JOHN
IPC: F22B37/42
Filed: 1909-06-15
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 14,049. Hopwood, J. June 15. Alarms, low - water.-In a combined highpressure and low-water alarm, a small hole is formed in the high-pressure valve to admit steam to a whistle at low water, and is closed by a needle valve formed on the float spindle. A whistle A is screwed down on the cap C of a spring D which loads the safety-valve E. The upper end of the float spindle L is formed as a valve P, which closes the hole Q in the valve E. Passages allow the steam to have constant access to the space M under the valve E. The blow-off pressure is adjusted by screwing- down the whistle A and retaining it by means of a lock-nut V. To prevent tampering with the alarm, a ring W<1> attached to a guard W is screwed on the shoulder B<1> and locked by a nut B<2>, which is fixed by a bolt X on a padlock Y.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Driving Mechanism for Petrol Electric Apparatus.
Filed: 1909-06-30
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 15,282. Felten & Guilleaume- Lahmeyerwerke Act-Ges. July 1, 1908 [Convention date]. Driving - arrangements for screw propellers.-In a petrol - electric transmission system which may be applied to the propulsion of ships but is shown as arranged for a motor-car, the petrol motor is arranged to give a mechanical direct drive through a differential gear for the top speed. The petrol motor drives the planet - carrier of the differential, one member 1 of which drives a pinion R<1> through a shaft W'. The other member 2 of the differential drives the armature G of a stationary field dynamo, which supplies current to a motor M driving another pinion R'. Bevel-wheels on the armatures of the dynamo and motor can be geared together by a bevel-pinion H. When this is done, the current is cut off, and the petrol motor drives direct through the differential and bevel-gearing only. When the invention is applied to the propulsion of ships, the axes of the pinions R<1>, R<2> are arranged parallel, and the pinions are replaced by screws. Specifications 2588/07 and 5996/07, [both in Class 79, Locomotives &c.], are referred to.

An internal shaft D' carries a spring-pressed disk d<1>, which is periodically rotated and engages a disk d<6> connected to the driven pinion d<5> ; the amount of movement communicated to the pinion is controlled by a notched disk normally held by a latch and periodically released to allow a part rotation. The stock is supported by a turret-rest E carried in supports and connected by a shaft e to an intermediate spider E' carrying flared tubes e<2>.

Title: Preparation of a Physiologically Active Base and of Intermediate Compounds therefor.
Inventor: WELLCOME HENRY SOLOMON
Filed: 1909-07-23
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 17,171. Wellcome, H. S., and Barger, G. July 23. p - Hydroxyphenylethylamine is prepared from p-methoxyphenylpropionic acid. The parent material, dissolved in chloroform, is converted by phosphorus pentachloride into the acid chloride, which, on conversion into the amide and treatment of the latter with sodium hydroxide and bromine, gives p-methoxyphenylethylamine. The substance, when heated with hydrobromic acid, gives the hydrobromide of p-hydroxyphenylethylamine, from which is obtained the free base. Hydrochloric and hydriodic acids may be likewise used. p-Methoxyphenylpropionic acid is prepared according to the Provisional Specification, by treating anisic aldehyde with sodium and ethyl acetate, with subsequent hydrolysis, or by heating the same body with sodium acetate and acetic anhydride, and reducing the p-methoxycinnamic acid obtained by either method.

Inventor: DEWAR WILLIAM

Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 10,143. Dewar, W. April 26. [Cognate Application, 15,995/11.] Dry processes of extracting copper.-Ores or products containing oxidized copper with a refractory gangue are subjected to a hot or cold air blast in a vessel which is not externally heated, such a proportion of solid or gaseous fuel being employed as will ensure the existence of a reducing - atmosphere within the vessel, producing thereby shots of copper without fusing the gangue, the shots being recovered from the ore, after crushing, if necessary, by concentration. The process may be carried out in a vessel having a perforated false bottom and supported on trunnions so that the ore may be readily discharged. When solid fuel is employed, the ore and fuel may be arranged in alternate layers. The air is introduced below the false bottom. Any copper remaining in the residue after recovery of the shots may be recovered by treating the residue with ammonia solution from which copper oxide is precipitated by the injection of steam or by other known means, the liberated ammonia being condensed for further use. Ammonium carbonate may be used instead of ammonia, the copper being precipitated as basic carbonate, and the solvent regenerated by passing carbonic acid into the condensed ammonia liquor. The copper may be recovered from the oxide or basic carbonate by ordinary methods.
