Title: Improved Manufacture of Electrolytic Iron.
IPC: C25C1/06
Filed: 1913-07-18
Granted: 1914-05-14
Abstract: 16,565. Soc. " Le Fer." Aug. 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Iron, depositing; electrodes, moving. - An electrolyte consisting of a solution of one or more ferrous salts, such as the sulphate or chloride, is stirred in contact with air before electrolysis, in order to produce oxy-salts which oxidize hydrogen at the cathode. The electrolyte should have a clear chestnut-brown colour, and be without foam. During electrolysis. oxidation may be controlled by means of an adjustable opening in the cell cover, or of a cock regulating a current of air which is bubbled through the electrolyte. To reduce any ferric chloride formed, the electrolyte is passed over iron shavings in a separate vessel at a speed varying with the current-density and with the amount of phosphorus in the cast-iron anode. If this amount is 1 per cent, a circulation of 4 litres per hour per ampere is suitable. The concentration of the electrolyte is regulated in accordance with the amount of air supplied, but must be maintained constant during working, say by continuously supplying fresh liquid ; a suitable density is 35‹-40‹ BÚ. The cathode is rotated at a speed proportional to the current density; peripheral velocities of 100 and 120 metres per minute are suitable respectively for densities of 5 and 8 amperes per square decimetre. The temperature of the electrolyte is raised for high current-density but must not vary during electrolysis; it may be 50‹ and 75‹-77‹ C. respectively for densities of 4 and 10 amperes per square decimetre. Iron thus obtained is annealed and is then ready for commercial use. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states that the electrolyte may be oxidized by rotating the anode. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

The lever 13 can engage a notched slide 11 carrying the weft or filling needle 9, and thus cause the slide to be reciprocated in the guide-bar 12, while the lever 59 can engage a notched slide 58 having a stand 57 and a rod 56 connected to a stand carrying a rotary cutter 49, so that the stand may be reciprocated on a slide 46 to carry the cutter 49 under the fabric to cut the tufts inserted by vertically moving tubes. The lever 13 may be disengaged from the slide 11 by a lever 18 on a shaft 19, the weft-needle then remaining stationary; similarly, the lever 59 may be disengaged from the slide 58 by one of two levers 62, 63 on the shaft 19, the cutting- slide 58 then remaining stationary. The periphery of the cutter 49 enters a slot in a guidepiece 54, which acts to move the tuft yarn positively towards the cutting - surface of the cutter 49, which is provided with a cord sheave 51. A driving-cord 36, guided by sheaves 53, passes round the sheave 51. The cord passes round guide-pulleys 48, 44 and a loose pulley 34, which is frictionally driven by a disk 35 fast on a constantly rotating shaft 7. The pulley is moved into and out of engagement with the disk 35 by mechanism controlled by a cam on the bottom shaft, so that the cutter is rotated only when cutting.. Mechanism is described for tightening the cord 36 and securing its engagement with the pulley 34 when the cutting- operation is to be performed.

Title: Improvements in Ovens for the Manufacture of Sheet Glass.

Granted: 1914-05-21
Abstract: 6357. Montan-und-Industialwerke vorm. J. D. Starck. April 15, 1913, [Convention date]. Glass furnaces; charging and discharging.- Relates to the mechanism for operating the trucks and traversers used in the manufacture of sheet glass in spreading and annealing ovens. Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 show diagrammatically the successive movements of the trucks A, B, C, and traverser 1 in transferring a sheet of glass from the spreading chamber 3 to the paring-chamber 4 and annealing-tunnel 75. The traverser 1 is operated by a motor 9, Fig. 5. through gearing 10; 12, 13, an electrically operated clutch 17 and a chain 24, Figs. 5 and 13. The trucks are moved by a chain passing over a sprocket 21, Fig. 5, connected to the motor 9 through a clutch 16. To produce each of the movements shown in Figs. 1 to 4, it is necessary to reverse the motor 9 each time, and also to engage the clutches 16, 17 alternately. This is done by the switch, Figs. 7 and 8, which controls the motor and clutches. The motor circuits are connected to sections a<I>, a<II>, a<III>, a<IV>, Fig. 8, and the clutches 16, 17 are connected to the sections b<16>, b<17> respectively. These sections are mounted on a hollow shaft 34', which is rotated intermittently by chains 44, 45, 59, 60, connected with the traverser 1 and trucks A, B, C. A handle 38 carries two contact brushes d, f, which distribute the motor and clutch currents respectively. The apparatus is started by moving the handle 38 over one of the switch sections. The movement of the traverser or trucks then rotates the shaft 34<1>, Fig. 7, and so brings one of the insulated sectors c under the brushes d, f, and so stops the motor 9. The handle 38 is then moved on to the next pair of sections thus reversing the motor and clutches and so on, completing the cycle of four movements. The conveyer bars 76, Fig. 13, are operated automatically by a projection 103 on the traverser 1. At the discharge end of the annealing tunnel, a pivoted grating 106 is arranged to receive the finished sheet of glass, and, by tilting upwards, discharge it on to a truck &c.
