Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Ammonia.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: C01C1/04
Filed: 1909-07-29
Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 17,642. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. July 29. Ammonia is produced by passing a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen over osmium or an osmium compound, which on being treated leaves osmium; for instance, osmium hydrate produced by treating an alcoholic solution of osmic acid with formaldehyde; or Fremy's salt, OsO2N4H12Cl2. The osmium or its compound may be used alone or mixed with other substances or compounds, for instance, quartz, asbestos, clay, &c. In an example, a mixture of one volume of nitrogen with three volumes of hydrogen is passed under a pressure of 175 atmospheres over finely-divided osmium at 550‹ C. The resulting gas mixture contains about 8 per cent of ammonia, which can be separated in any suitable way.

Filed: 1909-09-21
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 21,546. Snee, W. Sept. 21. Screw motors.- A water - current or wind motor comprises a vane wheel, Fig. 2, of which the vanes 11 are dished and bent over towards the direction from which the current comes. The vanes are twisted to form screw surfaces, and are made concave towards the current so as to cause the fluid impinging on the wheel vanes near the centre to flow along the vanes towards their tips, and the fluid impinging on the vanes near the tips to flow towards the centre. The vanes are shaped so that these contrary currents meet as shown in Fig. 12, and the fluid is discharged to the rear near to the part of the vanes marked C<1>. The wheel may be cut out of one piece of sheet metal. Various modifications are shown. In one, the vanes are arranged tangentially to the hub 1. In another, the vanes do not reach to the hub, and are mounted on a skeleton frame. A second wheel may be mounted to catch the fluid passing through the centre of the annular wheel. The tips of the vanes are made to overlap the rear edges of the adjacent vanes. The vanes may be bent rearwards before being bent over towards the current.

Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Pasteurizing Beer.
Inventor: LOEW CHARLES HENRY
IPC: C12H1/18
Filed: 1910-03-14
Granted: 1911-03-14
Abstract: 6376. Loew, C. H. March 14. Sterilizing beer.-Bottled beer is pasteurized by bringing the bottles by means of a rotary carrier 30 under sprays of water, of successively increasing and decreasing temperature, from chambers 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 having perforated bottoms, the water being used repeatedly. The carrier 30 rotates upon rollers 21 in a tank 10 having an opening 13, through which trays 33 holding the bottles are supplied to, or taken from, compartments upon the carrier. The tank 10 is divided by an insulated partition 50 into compartments A, B, each of which contains a pump 48, 49. The pump 48 supplies hot water, preferably obtained from the bottom of the compartment A, which is fitted with steam-pipes, to the chamber 44 through a pipe 480, cold water is supplied by pipes 410, 470 to the chambers 41, 47, and the water from the bottom of the compartment B is supplied by the pump 49 and pipes 490 to the chambers 42, 46. The chambers 41 &c. communicate by side openings, and alternate chambers 41, 43, &c. are deeper than the others. The bottles are thus subjected to warming sprays under the chambers 41, 42, 43, to a pasteurizing-spray under the chamber 44, and to cooling-sprays under the chambers 45, 46, 47. A motor 60 rotates the pumps 48, 49 through gearing 64, 66, 69, and the carrier 30 through gearing 64, 66, 607, 610, 613, 36. The steam-supply to the compartment A may be controlled by a thermostat.

Abstract: 10,741. Birmingham Small Arms Co., and Norman, G. May 2. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breechblock; breech actions, sliding breech-block.- Relates to means in automatic small-arms for rendering the bolt recoil-spring inoperative, and consists in providing an abutment-nut 9 for the said spring 1, which nut is normally locked to the breech-cap 3 leaving the bolt free, but is also adapted to be locked to the bolt so as to hold the recoil spring compressed, when the arm is to be used as a single loader, or to lock together the bolt and the breech-cap, when it is desired to disassemble these parts. The adjustments are effected by rotating the nut 9 by means of the lever plate 17 and guide pin 13, and are shown respectively in Figs. 2, 3, and 4, which illustrate sections on the lines A-A, B-B, and C-C of Fig. 1. The locking is effected by lugs 10, 11 on the nut 9 adapted to enter recesses in flanges on the bolt and breech cap; and the lugs may be cut away, as shown in Fig. 6, to prevent accidental displacement. In addition to the spring catch 18, a locking- bolt 22, Fig. 5, may be provided. The locking- bolt works in a T-slot 23<a> in the lever plate 17, the slot having three enlargements in the narrow part into one of which the head 22 is urged by the spring 25 when the lever plate is properly adjusted. The recoil of the bolt depresses the locking-bolt, as shown, so as to unlock the lever plate. A small spring 20 is provided at the end of the pin 13 to take up the impact of the bolt when the spring 1 is inoperative.

The sheet is stripped from the belt by means of fingers and is registered against a stop 12. The roller 14 is preferably of corrugated rubber, and is oscillated to buckle the sheet by bevel-gearing, a crank, and a camactuated link. To assist the buckling, a spring- controlled wooden bar 28 and an adjustable roller 23 carried by blocks 26 sliding in vertical slots in a frame 4 are adapted to be moved on to the sheet during the buckling, and to be raised after the buckling by levers 35 operated by a cam-actuated link 38. The roller 14 is also carried by the levers 35.
