Title: Method of Removing Sulphuretted Hydrogen from Gases with Simultaneous Recovery of Sulphur.
Inventor: BURSCHELL ERNST
Filed: 1903-03-16
Granted: 1904-03-16
Abstract: 6090. Burschell, E. March 16. Sulphur.- Relates to the recovery of sulphur from the sulphuretted hydrogen present in illuminating and other gas by passing the latter through solutions of ferric salts to which are added salts of metals having a great affinity for hydrogen sulphide and whose resulting sulphides are decomposed by ferric salts. Copper salts are the most suitable, the action proceeding thus:- CuS + Fe2Cl6 = 2 FeCl2 + CuCl2 + S. The gas, freed from ammonia, is passed either through an apparatus in which the metallic salt solutions are trickling down in drops or through rotating washers containing said solutions. The protosalts after reoxidation are employed over agam.

Title: Improvements relating to Telphers.
Filed: 1903-12-01
Granted: 1904-05-05
Abstract: 26,242. Siemens Bros. &. Co., [United Telpherage Co.]. Dec. 1. Stopping engines and trains.-Relates to improvements in electric telpherage and to the control automatically or otherwise of the propelling and winding motors. The arrangement is particularly applicable to a telpher having a tipping- bucket. On arrival at a predetermined spot, the driving-motor is stopped, the winding - motor started, the bucket lowered, tipped, and again raised, and the driving-motor started to return the telpher. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the telpher stops when it runs on to a section c<21> of the line-wire which is insulated and thus no longer supplies current to the motor. The winding- motor then receives current from a spring rod i<2> connected to the line by a conductor k<2>. The telpher carries a switch l<2> for reversing its motor, and, when the bucket is again raised, a tappet o<2>, pivoted to allow the rod i<2> to pass upwards only, lifts the rod i<2>, breaking the circuit with the winding-motor at j<2> and completing the circuit of the telpher motor through a second contact. In modified arrangements, the rod j<2> is pivoted and the contacts suitably varied. In another arrangement, in which the winding-motor and the telpher motor are supplied from separate conductors, a single switch is provided for controlling the circuits, and the motors are reversed when the current is broken at any point.

Inside the cylinder A is fixed a solenoid B through which passes a brass piece I to which is attached a soft-iron core H. The core is guided by a cross-piece K sliding on rails c, c<1> fixed to the cylinder, and is pressed out uf the solenoid by a spring Q. The brass piece I ends in a disc L furnished with egg-shaped recesses S, Fig. 4, in which balls are placed. Against the bills is held, by a nut M, a piece N which slides on helical ribs G, G<1> formed inside a cylinder D fixed to the frame by a nut E. One end of the solenoid is connected to a brush bearing upon a ring 0, and the other to the cylinder A. If a current is sent through the solenoid, the core H is drawn inwards, and the movement of the piece N on the guides G, G<1> causes the balls to move into the smaller ends of the recesses. The pieces L, N are thus coupled together, and the cylinder A is turned by the piece K. When the current is broken, the spring Q pushes back the core, the balls run into the larger parts of the recesses, and the cylinder remains stationary. The angle turned by the roller is regulated by a pin R, which is pushed into the cylinder A and fixed by a screw.

Abstract: 16,585. Kohn, E., [Berger, F.]. Aug. 15. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Signals, m o t o r road vehicle. - A direction indicator for motor-cars or the like comprises mechanism by means of which the driver can indicate to bystanders, some time in advance, the direction which he intends to take. The indicator, which may consist of a semaphore arm, disk, or other signal, is set by a button or the like on the steering hand-wheel, and is returned to the zero position by the movement of the handwheel in the direction indicated. The indicator is placed on the front of the vehicle, and is controlled in the example shown by mechanism arranged on the steering hand-wheel as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3. The outer circumference is formed of a hollow tube b provided on the under surface with slots c. Within the tube on each side of a central partition d is placed a helical spring e, the other ends of which bear against pieces f sliding in the tube b. The pieces f normally hold both springs in compression, being themselves held by triggers engaging tongues g projecting through the slots c. When the driver wishes to turn to one side or the other, he presses the trigger on the corresponding side of the hand-wheel so as to release the piece f and thereby allow the spring e to draw the signal in the proper direction by means of Bowden mechanism k. When the hand-wheel is actually tnrned in the direction indicated, the projecting tongue g comes into contact with a projection on a fixed disk or the like, so that the spring e is recompressed, and the indicator restored to the zero position. The Bowden mechanism may be replaced by pneumatic or electric mechanism, or the signal may be actuated directly by a lever or levers on the hand-wheel.
