Patent GB-191110328-A (GB)
Title: Method of Treating Antimony and Arsenic Ores.
Inventor: TRIFONOFF ALEXANDER
IPC: C22B30/00
Filed: 1911-04-28
Granted: 1912-04-29
Abstract: 10,328. Trifonoff, A., and Gardner, D. April 28. Dry processes of extracting antimony and arsenic; speisse and like collecting and dissolving processes; treating ores preliminarily to extracting precious metals. - Sulphide ores of antimony are melted with sodium sulphate, iron sulphide, and carbon to obtain a mixture of sodium thio - antimonate and antimony oxide, and the mixture, after removal of the slag, is smelted with iron and carbon; soda may be added at the beginning to lower the melting- point of the slag. The smelting reaction is represented by the equation- 2 Na3SbS4 + Sb2O3 + 3C + 5Fe = 4Sb + 3Na2S + 5FeS + 3CO. Arsenic ores may be treated in a similar manner. The molten antimony is refined to obtain a substantially pure product. If the ore contains a precious metal the latter is extracted by treating the entire charge, after the initial melt, with arsenic or antimony. The slag is lixiviated to extract sodium sulphide, leaving iron sulphide which may be used as a constituent in the initial melt. The sodium sulphide is used for obtaining a solution of antimony from poor ores, the solution being decomposed with sulphuric acid to regenerate sodium sulphate. If the poor ore contains a precious metal which remains in the gangue after the removal of the antimony, it may be extracted by the cyanide or other process.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a Machine for Punching Jacquard Cards.
Inventor: GEORGES CHARLES
IPC: D03C17/00
Filed: 1912-05-10
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 11,195. Georges, C. May 26, 1911, [Convention date]. Cards and the like, punching.-Relates to a machine for punching jacquard cards for use in an embroidery machine in which the work frame is moved by mechanism controlled by two similarly - arranged continuous cards acting alternately. An enlarged pattern of the design to be embroidered is placed on a board 10, Fig. 1, provided with a hand - operated pointer 66 arranged to control the positions of two slides 15, 16, which carry toothed racks 28, 32 and have secured to their ends cables arranged to prevent jamming of the slides. The movements of the racks 28, 32, produced by altering the position of the pointer 26, cause rotation of wheels 29, 33 and perforated drums 30, 34. After each rotation, the drums 30, 34 are locked in position by cam-actuated pawls 93, Fig. 3, engaging teeth 92 on the drums. The perforations in the drums are adapted to be engaged by pins 121 carried by spring-pressed verticallysliding parts 119, which are connected by flexible blades 118 to droppers 116, 117 and are periodically moved away from the drums by camactuated sliding bars 126. The droppers 116, 117 corresponding to the pins 121 which are not opposite holes in the drums lock certain of a number of punches a, b, c, d, so that, when a cam-actuated frame 104 carrying the punches moves to the right or left, one of two paper strips B, A is perforated. Each strip A, B passes round guide-rollers 82 and partially round a feed-roller 80, against which bears a spring-pressed roller 83. The strip is then wound on a drum 88, which is rotated by a friction roller 91 and is mounted on a freelyswinging lever 90. The rollers 80, 91 at each side of the machine are driven by a toothed wheel 75 turned by a worm 72, both worms being mounted on a single shaft 71, which is rotated intermittently by means of a toothed segment 66 mounted on the main shaft 65 and gearing with a toothed pinion 67 on an intermediate shaft 68. The holes in the pattern cards for controlling the apparatus for punching holes in the embroidery are made by certain of the punches a, b, c, d, the droppers 116, 117 of which are controlled by pins 138, 139, Fig. 4, similar to the pins 121. The pins 138, 139 that are to be prevented from entering holes in the drums 30, 34 are selected by projections 142 on slides 140, which are coupled together by connexions 143, 144, 145 and are moved horizontally by a hand-lever moving over an engraved indicator. Means are provided, adjacent the handlever, to indicate to the operator which of the strips A, B, Fig. 3, is the next one to be punched. The machine is driven by a clutch, Fig. 6, comprising a spring-pressed cone 41 engaging a hollow cone 39 forming a belt pulley, the cone 41 being moved along the driving-shaft 40, to disengage the clutch, by means of a footlever 54, Fig. 1, carrying an auxiliary foot-lever 56 arranged to operate a spring catch 58 for locking the clutch in its disengaged position.

Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 19,920. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Nov. 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Field carriages.-Relates to field carriages of the kind in which the wheels D, D<1> can be rocked about vertical pivots c<2> into the position shown in plan in Fig. 2, so that the carriage can be traversed about a spade pivot b<1> by a toothed gear K, D<2> actuated by a hand-wheel F. According to the invention, a pointer R in proximity to the handwheel F is moved when the gun-layer traverses the upper carriage about a pivot m<2>, in the trail A, by the fine traversing-gear N. If a moving target is to be followed, the man at the hand-wheel F operates his gear so as to traverse the carriage in the direction indicated by the pointer R, and thereby roughly follows the target, leaving only a fine adjustment to be made by the gun layer through the gear N. A second pointer T is moved by the upper carriage M, so that when, as on heavy ground, greater power is required to traverse the carriage about the pivot b<1>, a third man, pushing on the wheels D, D<1>, may see in which direction to exert his effort.

Abstract: 11,342. Hoyle, J. R., and Strange, H. B. May 15. Projectiles; projectile fuses.-Relates to projectiles from which bullets are adapted to be ejected laterally one after another during flight, and consists in forming ports at the forward end of the projectile from which the bullets are adapted to escape by centrifugal action after they have been released from packages in which they are contained by the successive ignition of small explosive charges. In the form shown in section in Fig. 1, the bullets E are enclosed in packets of varying diameter, which surronnd a central tube D containing compressed powder or other slowburning composition. Between adjacent packets are annular charges F of explosive material such as quick match composition, which communicate with holes D' in the central tube D by means of radial channels F also containing explosive material. At a set time after discharge, a time fuse C in the head of the shell ignites the powder in the central tube, which, through ports D<2>, ignites a layer G of explosive mixture adapted to blow out soldered covers A<2> which close ports A' in the shell-casing. The powder D then ignites in succession through the holes D<1>, the charges F, each of which destroys the envelope surrounding the charge of bullets in front of it. These bullets then creep to the forward end of the shell, where they are ejected through the ports A<1> by centrifugal force due to the rotation of the shell. In this manner the groups of bullets are discharged in succession from the shell. The bullets are preferably set in resin or plaster of parts, but they may be embedded in inflammable composition adapted to be ignited and expelled with the bullets. They may be prevented from shifting on discharge by roughening the interior of the casing A. The tube D may be located in or against the wall of the casing. The ports A' may be closed by spring-plugs released during flight. An annular shoulder B<1> on the head of the shell prevents inrush of air at the ports A', and tends to create a suction action assisting the ejection of the bullets.
