Title: Improvements in Means for Igniting Gas Lamps.
Inventor: ANDERSON DAVID
Filed: 1911-03-23
Granted: 1912-04-23
Abstract: 22,033. Anderson, D. March 23. [Cognate Application, 22,034/11.] Atmospheric gas burners.-In apparatus for lighting and extinguishing gas burners in which an extra supply of gas is provided at the moment of ignition or extinction in order to prevent lighting-back, two or more igniting-jets are arranged so as to form ' fuses ' leading from the igniting point to the burners, to give time for a sufficiently rich mixture to be formed at the burners before ignition can take place. The pipes are so designed that it is impossible for the flame to travel along the jets before sufficient gas for flushing has reached the burner. The gas cock is turned sufficiently to admit gas through the pipe e by a lamp lighter's torch acting through a plunger 8, a cord, and a lever 11 having a pin 14 engaging under the cock lever a. The further movement of the cock to turn on the main supply and shut-off the flushing-gas, is effected by the torch or other device engaging the cock lever a, but a pawl 12 on the lever 11, by engaging a stop 13 on the lever a, prevents the operation of the lever a before the lever 11 is operated, so that the delay caused by the necessity for removing the torch from the chamber 7 before engaging it with the lever a enables the flushing gas to form a sufficiently rich mixture. In a modification, the pipe 6 terminates in a trap connected to the gas cock and operated by the torch to turn on the flushing - gas the gas cock may be arranged to turn on one light and then two or more as required. Provisional Specification 22,033/11 also states that in the construction in which the flushing- gas is turned on by means of a plunger operated by the torch, the subsequent operations of turning on the main supply and shutting-off the flushing-gas may be performed by means of the torch acting on the plunger. Specification 24,493/10 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Processes for Extracting Metals from Ores.
Inventor: MACKAY HENRY SQUAREBRIGS
IPC: C25C1/12
Filed: 1911-12-06
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 27,344. Mackay, H. S. Dec. 6. Metals, obtaining; electrolytes, circulating.- Copper and other ores, particularly sulphide ores which have been roasted at 500 C., are leached with a weak solution of ferric chloride and of one or more chlorine acids; the amount of iron present in the solution may be one per cent. The solution is then electrolyzed, to remove copper or other metal and regenerate the original compounds, after which it may pass again through the same operations. The solution may be kept supplied with small quantities of common salt, and is occasionally diluted if necessary. The solution may initially be made in two electrolytic cells 4, 19, the cell 4 having iron anodes or being supplied with iron salts, and the cell 19 having insoluble anodes. Both cells have diaphragms. Seawater is fed from a tank 1 to the cell 4, the anode and cathode liquids being run to separate tanks 13, 14, pumped to tanks 17, 18, and directed into the anode and cathode compartments of the cell 19. The liquids then return to the tanks 13, 14 so that they can be circulated repeatedly through the cell 19 if desired. The anode liquid, containing common salt in some cases, is drawn off from the tank 17 into a tank 31 feeding a lixiviator 34, whence the solution is pumped into a tank 38. From this tank the solution passes to a tank 44 either directly by a pipe 58 or through depositing-cells 39 provided with filters. A pump 45 raises the liquid from the tank 44 to a tank 47 communicating both with the depositing cells 39 and with the lixiviator 31. By this arrangement the solution may be passed several times in succession through either the lixiviator or the depositing-cells. If metal powder is deposited, it is run off into a filter 54, the liquid separated from it being restored to the tank 38. When sulphuric acid is present, plate copper is formed; the solution should in that case be removed before current is switched off.

Abstract: 28,167. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Dec. 14. [Addition to 19,249/10.] Catalytic materials and processes.-Consists in the manufacture of ammonia by passing a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen over a catalyst consisting of a mixture of metals which belong to different groups or to different sub-groups of the periodic system. Instead of the metals there may be employed a nitride, hydride, or amide thereof, or other compound such as can be prepared by the passage of the gases over the metals or their carbides, or a compound which, under the conditions of the reaction, gives rise to the metals or metallic compounds. Bodies which act as contact poisons should be avoided, in particular the easily fusible metals of which the oxides are readily reducible. The mixture of metals can be effected by mixing together amalgams of the metals, and distilling off the mercury, or by reduction of the mixed chlorides or oxides; or by the aid of a third body which may take part in the catalytic action, for example, alkali metal or a suitable compound thereof. In some cases, promoters may be added to the mixture. Suitable mixtures are, for example, the following: aluminium and magnesium, or manganese; barium and magnesium, osmium, or chromium; cerium and magnesium or molybdenum; cobalt and lithium, magnesium, osmium, or sodium; chromium and magnesium, osmium, or zirconium; lanthanum and molybdenum; lithium and nickel, niobium, osmium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, or manganese; magnesium and molybdenum, sodium, vanadium, or uranium; manganese and osmium, or vanadium; molybdenum and zirconium; osmium and thorium; iron and lithium, or strontium; sodium and osmium; tungsten and zirconium; uranium and zirconium ; aluminium, cobalt and sodium; beryllium, manganese and sodium; calcium, manganese and sodium; calcium, uranium and sodium; chromium, manganese and sodium; chromium, nickel 'and sodium; cobalt, vanadium and sodium. In other examples, the following mixtures are used: potassium and sodium amides and vanadium nitride; vanadium nitride and zirconium hydride; tantalum hydride and molybdenum nitride; a mixture produced by passing cyanogen gas over heated manganese oxide and zirconium oxide; aluminium, chromium and sodium amide. The subject-matter of Specifications 10,441/10, 19,249/10, 61/11, 5833/11, 5835/11, 17,411/11, and 21,151/11 is disclaimed.

Abstract: 14,752. Merriam, E. B. June 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Oil switches.-The vessel in which the contacts are separated under oil or other insulating- liquid is provided with vents above the liquid level, through which hot gases, oil, &c. are ejected, and screens are placed outside the vessel in the path of the issuing jets, the object being to prevent the oil &c. from being scattered over the surrounding parts, and also to cool the escaping products. In one form of construction, Fig. 1, the discharge through vents 6 above the liquid-level 14 is diverted downwards along the walls of the vessel 5 by a flange 7 encircling its upper edge. To check the force of the discharge inside the vessel, a plate 8, loosely mounted on a pin 4 and normally resting on the surface of the liquid, fills the greater portion of the space between the insulators. An inside baffle 12 having holes 13 below the vents 6 is provided for the same purpose. The vessel is reinforced against bursting strain by an inside rib 11 and an outside rib 14. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the contacts 17, 18 are separated in a chamber confined by a centrally perforated partition 21 below the liquid level, and the discharge of hot gases, oil, &c. takes place through vents 23 at the top of the vessel. The diverter 24 consists of an insulating-shell completely enclosing the oilvessel, and provided with escape*openings 25. In a modification of this, the diverter encloses only the upper part of the oil-vessel, and is open at the bottom. Specification 14,751/12 is referred to.

Abstract: 16,175. Chevallier, A. L., and Eastwick, J. July 10. [Cognate Application, 24,205/12.] Breech actions, sliding breech - block; barrels; stocks. - Relates to inertia - weight guns of the kind described in Specification 16,743/10 in which the forward lurch of a heavy cover compresses springs which subsequently react and unlock the breech - bolt. The present invention consists (a) in the employment with a single unlocking - spring 11 and a firing-spring 12, both arranged round the firing-pin, of tubes or projections 13, 14, Fig. 1, arranged between the two springs to keep them in position, (b) in improvements in the means for controlling the inertia cover, and (c) in the provision of a spring butt. The uncompressed length of the unlocking-spring 11, Fig. 1, may be slightly less than the distance between the front abutment on the boltcarrier 4, and the rear abutment on the sliding cover 3, and the cover is normally held back out of contact with the spring 11 by a light spring plunger 18, Fig. 1. The firing- pin 6 can be cocked by hand by a rotary helical cam 24 mounted on the cover and adapted to engage a lug 23 fixed to the firing- pin. By rotating this cam beyond its normal cocking position, it can serve as a safety; or an independent safety 28 may be provided. The cover is normally held against backward movement by a plunger 47, which, when the cocking cam 24 is rotated, is engaged by a lug thereon and released; the plunger 47 is also connected to the trigger mechanism in such a way that it is released when the trigger is pulled. To render the gun non-automatic. the forward lurch of the cover can be prevented by a rotary sleeve 74 mounted on the barrel and having a rearward projection 75 adapted to engage the cover. The cover can be held in its rear position by a spring catch 97, Fig. 1. The trigger mechanism employed is described in Specification 13,808/13. The sliding bar 38 of the trigger mechanism is held in its forward position, until the cover has recoiled, by a spring catch 95. A spring butt such as is shown in Fig. 13 or Fig. 14 may be employed. The unlocking action of the gun is as follows. Immediately after the discharge, the cover 3 lurches forwards against the spring 11 and then rebounds; during this rebound, the sear 30, which is mounted on the cover 3, reengages the non-rotary firing-pin 6 and carries it back thereby rotating the bolt-head 5 by reason of a steep screw-thread connexion 9, 10. The sliding cover may be provided with antifriction rollers. In order to determine accurately the length of load and to facilitate extraction, the cartridge 59, Fig. 1, and the chamber may be made square shouldered. A pivoted ejector 53, Fig. 12, is provided, adapted to be positively turned inwards near the end of the recoil by the action of the bolt-carrier on a cam surface 57.
