Title: Apparatus for Cleaning Metal Articles.
Inventor: PHILLIPS JOHN DAVID
IPC: C11D11/00
Filed: 1911-07-06
Granted: 1911-11-16
Abstract: 15,714. Phillips, J. D., and Hambuechen, C. July 6. Metals, pickling; self - exciting processes; electrodes.-Articles of gold, silver, copper, or other metal to be freed from tarnish are placed on a grid which is raised above, but soldered at its corners to, the bottom of a perforated container 10 of zinc, aluminium, or other metal electro-positive to the metal to be cleaned. The grid is preferably made of welded wires, heavily coated with tin or other metal electropositive to the articles but electro-negative to the container. The container 10 is hung from rollers 9 running over a track or guideway on a frame 7, the uprights of which are of angleiron and can slide over legs 1 of the main frame of the apparatus. The upper frame 7 can be raised or lowered by cams 13 operated by handles 17. The container 10 can thus be immersed first in an alkaline electrolyte in a tank 3 and then in washing-water in a tank 4, the articles being maintained in connexion with the container until freed from the alkaline liquid, the sulphur in which might otherwise act again upon the cleaned metal. Each tank has a steam-pipe 5. The electrolyte may be made by dissolving one tablespoonful of sodium bicarbonate and half a tablespoonful of common salt in a quart of water. Specification 7027/05 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Loading Ordnance.
Inventor: BACON REGINALD HUGH SPENCER
IPC: F41A9/42
Filed: 1912-03-02
Granted: 1913-03-03
Abstract: 5339. Bacon, R. H. S., and Duncan, F. March 2. Loading-appliances.-Relates to apparatus of the type in which the elements of the charge fall or roll into a loading-tray, such as that of a hoist cage, from which tray they are rammed into the gun. According to the invention, the weight of the charge elements is utilized to start the rammer motor. In the construction illustrated, a cut-off valve h in the pipe d leading from the main rammer-control valve c, on the loading-arm, to the rammer motor, is opened when the stem i of the valve h is pushed inwards by a tappet i<1> on the cage. The tappet is actuated by the weight of the charge-elements m falling upon the loading-tray and depressing plungers l, which through a floating lever k pivoted to the plungers and fulcrumed upon a spring rod j, rock a bell-crank lever j<1> and operate the tappet. The initial movement of the rammer b releases a spring-bolt o<2> on the loading - arm and locks the tappet until the rammer is withdrawn.
