Title: Improvements in or relating to the Treatment of Ores.
IPC: B03D1/02
Filed: 1912-11-27
Granted: 1913-12-29
Abstract: 27,323. Minerals Separation, Ltd., [Higgins, A. H.]. Nov. 27. Combined flotation and dissolving processes; wet processes of extracting copper &c.-Metalliferous matter is recovered from ores partly hy flotation processes and partly by lixiviation processes. The two processes may be carried out simultaneously or separately. In one example, a sulphide ore of copper, lead, and zinc is roasted to render the copper soluble, and then agitated with water containing oil and ferrochloride, whereby the copper is dissolved, the zinc sulphide is obtained in the froth, and sulphatized lead compounds in the tailings. In another example, a zinc-lead slime is treated by a flotation process, and the concentrates leached to dissolve the lead, which is precipitated with ferric sulphate or sulphuric acid. In another example, a zinc-copper ore is treated by a flotation process, and the concentrate is roasted to oxidize the copper, which is removed by leaching with ferric chloride. Iron in the concentrates may be removed by vanning or magnetically before or after the leaching. Reference is made to the use of solutions obtained from a mixture of sodium chloride and ferric sulphate, which may first be treated with barium chloride to precipitate the sulphate radicle. Specifications 7803/05 and 2359/09, [Class 82(ii), Washing granular &c.], are referred to.

Patent GB-191305940-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Applying Covers to Books, pamphlets and the like.
Inventor: SPIESS GEORG
IPC: B42C7/00
Filed: 1913-03-10
Granted: 1914-01-08
Abstract: 5940. Spiess, G. March 10. Bookbinding-machines.-Relates to apparatus for applying covers to books, pamphlets, &c., of the kind in which the piles of gathered sheets are conveyed by bands to gripping-devices which force the sheets against covers fed into the path of the descending sheets in such a way that the covers are caused, as the sheets travel on, to fold upon the sheets, the cover and sheets being subsequently pressed and the back smoothed. According to the present invention, the individual covers are fed through a grooving- device and through a gluing-device prior to being placed on the folding-table in position to receive the sheets, and other constructional details are introduced. The covers F, Fig. 2, pass through a registering-mechanism G of any known construction, over an adjusting-table H, and are then conveyed by endless bands K, I through a grooving-device L and gluing-device M on to the folding-table N so as to lie directly over a folding-slot J and in the path of the sheets to be covered. The piles of sheets A are conveyed by endless bands B, C downwardly inclined at the end of the path, and are seized by grippers D, E, Fig. 1, which are given a combined up-and-down movement and a movement towards and from each other. These grippers force the sheets downwardly on to the covers F, through the folding-slot J, and between folding- rollers 0, which are adapted to press the covers upon the sheets and complete the folding. The finished books pass into a collecting-receptacle Q, where the backs of the covers may be smoothed or pressed against the sheets by a reciprocating rubber band T. When the covers are to be applied to pamphlets or thin piles of sheets that would not be sufficiently stiff to start the folding of the covers F on the table N, a forked knife is employed to press the covers downwards almost to the folding-rollers 0, after which the pamphlets or sheets complete the folding. The paths of the feeding-in devices for the sheets A and covers F are arranged parallel, so that an attendant can easily control both devices. Small or thin covers, instead of passing through the feeding-in device G, may be placed directly on the adjusting-table H.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Wheeled Gun Carriages.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
IPC: F41A23/28
Filed: 1913-04-15
Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 8868. Schneider, E. April 15. Ground anchors and anchoring-devices.-Relates to central-pivot anchoring-devices for field gun-carriages, of the kind described in Specification 5353/13, [Class 92 (i), Ordnance &c. mountings], and consists in dispensing with the upper part of the pivot, and substituting therefor, for the purpose of maintaining the positions of the carriage wheels relatively to the pivot, lateral arms or distance-pieces on the tension-rod that connects the trail to the pivot. The lateral arms engage the rims of the wheels The recoil strain on the pivot may be reduced by forming a hook on the tension-rod, and engaging the hook with a flange on the baseplate of the pivot. In the construction shown in side elevation in Fig. 1, and in plan in Fig. 2, the tension-rod g fits around the anchoring-pivot d, and has two arms g<1> extending between the rims of the wheels c. In the construction shown in Fig. 4, the base-plate f of the pivot d is formed with a circular flange f<1> which is engaged by a hook g<2> on the tensionrod g.

Patent GB-191321571-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Sewing Machines for Shoes and the like.
Inventor: SCHOENKY AUGUST RUDOLF
IPC: D05B15/04
Filed: 1913-09-24
Granted: 1914-09-24
Abstract: 21,571. Schoenky, A. R. Sept. 25, 1912, [Convention date]. Sewing-machines; governing needle thread in lock-stitching machines having barbed needles. The take-up lever is used both to set the stitch and to pull-off thread for the succeeding stitch. The stitch-setting action continues until a thread lock is released, and thereafter the take-up acts to pull-off thread. The thread lock is connected to the presser-foot, so that the time of the release is early or late according as the work is thick or thin; the presser-foot being on the side of the work opposite to that to which the thread is fed. The thread lock comprises a pulley which is concentric with the take-up pivot, and the take-up lever itself releases the thread lock. The boss of the thread pulley 32 is surrounded by a sleeve 133 in which slides a detent 135. The detent is pressed by a spring 139 into engagement with teeth on the thread - pulley boss and thereby locks it. A cam-plate 131 secured to the takeup lever engages a lateral projection 134 on the detent and at the proper time removes the detent from the teeth on the boss and releases the thread lock. The time of this release may be varied by hand by adjusting the position in which the cam-plate 131 is secured to the take-up lever. The time is also varied automatically as the work varies in thickness by the rotation adjustment of the normally stationary detent-carrying sleeve 133. For this purpose a link 71 connects the presser-foot with a toothed segment 138 which meshes with teeth 137 on a part of the sleeve 133. The groove of the thread pulley is approximately V-shaped but has a flat surface for the thread to lie on. Sufficient grip between the pulley and the thread is ensured by the lateral perforations in the side walls of the groove.
