Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Delivering Measured Quantities of Liquids.
Inventor: EVANS JOSEPH BERTRAM
IPC: G01F3/26
Filed: 1912-06-04
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 13,096. Evans, J. B., Lassen, J. J., and Hjort, V. F. June 4. Liquids, purifying.-In a water-softening plant, an apparatus for delivering measured quantities of liquids comprises a tipping-bucket with one or more compartments to measure the liquid, and an adjustable locking - mechanism which at the desired time is released to allow a compartment to be discharged by means of a float disposed therein. The bucket C is normally held in a fixed position by the engagement of a locking - plate H thereon with a lever J adapted by means of set-screws J<2>, K to be varied in position so as to vary the moment at which the bucket can be released. As the liquid rises in the bucket, a float G is adapted to raise the lever J and thereby free the locking-plate to allow the bucket to oscillate and discharge its contents into the tank, and at the same time bring the empty compartment into position under the supply-pipe. The amount of rotation imparted to the bucket is limited by means of resilient buffers F.

Title: Improvements in Piston and like Packing.
Inventor: ALLEN ROBERT
IPC: F16J9/14
Filed: 1913-05-16
Granted: 1914-05-18
Abstract: 11,480. Allen, R. May 16. Pistons; Piston packing.-The joints of packing- rings are covered by choke-pieces b having circular or other stems b<2> which pass transversely through recesses in the rings and have oblique end faces, or are bored obliquely, to be acted on by oblique springs c, which cause the choke-pieces to follow the expanding movement of the rings. The packing-rings may be expanded by oblique springs. In the form shown in Figs. 3 and 4<a>, the oblique springs c are lodged in recesses in a ring g between the packing-rings a, a<1> and act on the choke-pieces b through studs d, and the joint-covering parts b<1> have curved bearings in the end plates h of the piston, which are secured against a collar i<1> on the rod i and the ring g by bolts j. The choke-pieces are formed with parts b<3> passing through the packing-rings and flush therewith to retain the choke-pieces when the parts b<1> pass into the ends of a cylinder with greater bore at the ends. Fig. 3 shows a vulcanite packing-ring having a metal bearing a<2> for the studs d of the expanding-springs. In the trunk piston shown in Fig. 11, the springs c are lodged in sockets m let into the piston, and the joint-covering parts b<1> have flat bearings in a ring k, which is prevented from rotating by studs when the end ring of the piston is screwed on. In a modification, Fig. 9<a>, the springs are lodged in recesses in an obliquely-arranged ring l. In a modification applied to a piston for terminalexhaust engines, which comprises two parts having a stepped annular joint with lead-wire packing between them, the springs are lodged in recesses in the choke-pieces.

Title: Improvements in Absorption Machines for Transforming Heat, Cold and Mechanical Work.
Inventor: ALTENKIRCH EDMUND
IPC: F25B29/00
Filed: 1912-08-12
Granted: 1913-08-12
Abstract: 16,835. Altenkirch, E., and Tenckhoff, B. Aug. 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Vapour-engines. - Relates to machines for transforming heat, cold, and mechanical work of the type in which a working fluid passes through a cycle of changes involving heating, cooling, expansion, and compression, before returning to its original condition, the type of. apparatus being known in connexion with refrigerating as the absorption type, and employing typically ammonia as the working fluid, Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically, with pressure and temperature as ordinates, a plant in which the arrangements described in Specification 18,511/12 are modified by conducting the vapour from the refrigerator d to an auxiliary absorber (or condenser) y, thence to an auxiliary generator (or refrigerator) z, and finally to the main absorber a, from which the cold rich liquor passes to the main generator b through a heat-exchanger p, wherein it exchanges heat with hot poor liquor from the generator. The system is completed by a condenser c, heating-coil h, cooling-water coils i, and brine coil n. Alternately, there may be a third absorption of gas from the refrigerator, or additional stages, and to deal with the production of steam, a rectifier x is provided from which liquor may pass to the auxiliary absorbers or generators through governor valves. In another arrangement, three absorption machines working at different temperature ranges are independent of one another as regards working fluid, but the condenser and absorber of the second machine are in heat - transferring connexion with the generator of the first machine, the cooling effect of the second refrigerator is applied to the first absorber, the condenser and absorber of the third machine transfer heat to the second generator, while the third generator may be heated by low-temperature waste heat, such as the exhaust gases of a furnace. By suitable choice of 'the temperature and pressure, certain of the chambers may become identical and the heat - transferring devices may be dispensed with, an example being given of such a three-stage plant applied to the production of mechanical work by means of a vapour-engine, which is associated with a generator replacing the usual refrigerator and an absorber. The first auxiliary absorber is replaced by an auxiliary generator, heated by warmed cooling-water from the absorber. By reversing the operation of all parts, the plant may be employed to generate heat. In place of ammonia liquor other binary or more complicated mixtures may be used, such as liquid air or brine, and the principle of counterflow may be applied, as described in Specification 18,511/12, in order to realize the polytropic cycle.

Granted: 1915-05-20
Abstract: 12,952. Vidal, R. May 26. Treatment preliminary to tanning. - Hides and skins are cleaned, preserved, and depilated by being treated with an aqueous solution containing from 5 to 10 per cent of a crystallized alkaline sulphite or hyposulphite associated with an alkali, ammonia, or an alkaline carbonate or sulphide. An after-treatment with acid may be employed before stripping the hair, the effect being to make the skin tougher. As an example, sheep skins are soaked for 12 to 15 hours in a solution containing 5 to 10 per cent of an ' association ' of 66 per cent of hyposulphite or crystallized sulphite with 33 per cent of anhydrous carbonate. Before the hair is stripped, the skin may be subjected to a bath containing 5 to 10 c.c. of sulphuric acid to the litre. An alternative ' association ' consists of 90 per cent of hyposulphite or sulphite and 10 per cent of alkaline sulphide, alkali, or 20 BÚ. ammonia. The ' associations' may be made by fusing together the crystalline ingredients or by employing concentrated solutions in the case of alkalis. The above process also cleans, bleaches, and removes the grease from the hair or wool.
