Title: Improvements in Feed-water Regulators for Steam Boilers and the like.
Inventor: MANNING ROBERT
Filed: 1907-07-16
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 16,333. Manning, R., and Champney, W. P. July 16. Ball and float valves; float levers.-In a feedwater regulator for steam generators, a valve device, comprising oppositely-acting valves 12, 13, reciprocates in a detachable casing substantially at right-angles to the direction of movement of the float 5. The float lever 17 is forked at 18, has its fulcrum 20 within the valve casing, and loosely engages the head 15 of the valve device. An excess of feed-water pumped in causes the float to rise and permits steam to pass by the valve 12, passage. 21, chamber 22, and tube 23 to the diaphragm chamber 24, where it operates and closes the valve 25 on the water-supply pipe from the feed pump. As the water level falls, the valve 12 closes, the valve 13 opens allowing the steam to pass out through the tube 27, and the valve 25 opens again.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Wave Motors.
Inventor: BISSELL EDWARD JOHN
Filed: 1907-12-10
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 27,313. Bissell, E. J. Dec. 10. Wave energy, utilizing.-In apparatus for compressing and exhausting air by the action of waves, a tank A open at the bottom is placed so that the closed top is above high - water mark, and the bottom below low-water mark. The action of the waves compresses air in the upper part of the tank, and forces it through the valve E into a pipe G leading to a motor. The air is drawn into the tank again through the pipe I and valve R. Should the valve K cease to act, a valve L prevents undue compression in the exhaust pipe, and if more air is required in the tank, a chamber M fitted with a valve N arranged on the high-pressure side of the motor allows the ingress of air.

Abstract: 14,248. Douilhet, A. M. J. July 5, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. [Patent of Addition to No. 8332, A.D. 1906]. Liquids, treating.-In apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 8332, A.D. 1906, water or other liquid to be sterilized is filtered through a carbon or other porous conducting anode tube 1 insulated by rubber washers 6, 7 from a tubular cathode 5, which slightly tapers towards the upper part of the anode to equalize the distribution of the current and is connected to the outer metal case by tongues 15 formed by slotting and bending the metal. Other tongues may be formed at the bottom, and other holes may be provided to facilitate the circulation of the liquid and gases. Connexion to the cathode is made by pieces 9, 10 which touch when the liquid inlet tap is open, the anode connexion being indicated at 4. Several such filters can be combined by tubes 13 and rubber connexions 14, one tap serving for them all. When the liquid is very impure it may be first filtered in an apparatus similar to that above described but having instead of the carbon &c. cylinder a tube of metal gauze covered with cottonwool &c.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Alkaline Aluminates.
Inventor: PENIAKOFF DMITRY ALEXANDROWITC
Filed: 1908-07-10
Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 14,707. Peniakoff, D. A. Jan. 29, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Alkali aluminates; sodium sulphate ; sulphuric acid.-The calcination of a mixture of aluminiferous materials and alkali sulphates, to which have been added carbon or sulphides, is effected in a continuous manner with a minimum amount of fuel, and so that the sulphur dioxide evolved is less dilute than heretofore, in a mechanical furnace, consisting of a slightly inclined, rotatable cast-iron tube. The material to be calcined is fed in at the top, and the fuel, gaseous, liquid, or solid, is fed in at the bottom, for example finely powdered coal, crude naphtha, tar or its distillation products. The solid product passes through a second rotating tube against a cooling current of air, which is then passed on to the combustion-furnace. The sulphur dioxide evolved can be used for the recovery of sulphuric acid, or directly for the obtainment of sodium sulphate. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the treatment of sea-salt with the hot mixture of sulphur dioxide and steam from the aluminate furnaces in a Hargreaves plant, whereby sodium sulphate and hydrochloric acid are obtained. instead of the Hargreaves plant, there may be used a cast-iron tube, lined with bricks and provided with turning-over and stirring - devices. The tube is mounted at a slight inclination on races, provided with rollers, and is slowly rotated by an arrangement of gear-wheels. Finely powdered sea-salt is continually fed into the upper end of the tube, and sulphurous gases are admitted at the bottom. To expedite the reaction the salt may be mixed with ferruginous bauxite in the proportions required for the production of the aluminate. The product is an intimate mixture of bauxite and sodium sulphate, and is ready to be passed into the aluminate-furnace. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 16,080. Low, A. July 6. Heating water.-In a calorifier in which the water is heated by means of steam coils, a pressure-responsive device is fitted on the hotwater discharge pipe, and is connected to the steam-inlet valve so as to cut off the steam supply when no hot water is being drawn off. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a chamber e is fitted on the discharge pipe d of the calorifier a. The chamber c is closed at the bottom by a diaphragm f connected by a spindle g to the steam valve h in the pipe c. When the discharge of water from the pipe d is interrupted or stopped, the pressure in the chamber c increases and forces down the diaphragm f and spindle g, and closes the valve h. A spring i assists the valve h to open. A modification is described in which a cylinder and piston are used instead of a diaphragm.
