Patent GB-190705655-A (GB)
Title: Process of Electrically Reducing Oxide Ores and the like.
Inventor: PETERSSON ALBERT
Filed: 1907-03-08
Granted: 1907-08-15
Abstract: 5655. Petersson, A. March 8. Shaft furnaces.-In a continuous process for smelting oxide ore &c., the ore and carbonaceous fuel are charged into an electric furnace so as to form contiguous upright columns, the fuel being heated by passage of a current, so as to be hotter than the ore. The reduction may be facilitated by circulating reducing gases through the columns, and regenerators may be provided to prevent loss of heat. To assist in melting the reduced metal, electric currents may be induced in that which is already molten. Fig. 1 shows a furnace having shafts 1, 3 for the ore and a shaft 2 for fuel, these shafts uniting at their lower ends. A circulatory system, comprising the furnace, passages 16, 17, regenerators 18, 19, pipes 20, and a fan (not shown), is filled at starting with air or carbon monoxide, the fan being run alternately in opposite directions during working. Excess of gas is drawn off by pipes 22. Electrodes (not shown) pass horizontally through the lower parts of the furnace walls into the fuel. Metal and slag collect in parallel channels 9, 10, which are connected at the back of the furnace to a trough with tapping-holes, and, optionally, in front of the furnace by a channel surrounded by an iron core having an inducing coil on it. The gas may alternatively pass vertically into and out of the furnace so that the columns of ore assist or replace the regenerators. When only one column of ore and one of fuel are used, the circulatory system is arranged so that the flow of the gas is only reversed through the regenerators and fan. In a large furnace, more than three columns may be ussd. For reducing and distilling zinc, a column of ore is situated between two columns of fuel. The walls between columns may be extended to the bottom of a furnace and perforated ; in this case, however, additional heat must be supplied to the ore, for instance by the passage of a current between electrodes or by the induction device of Fig. 1. A furnace for producing ferrosilicon from scrap iron or ore and silicic acid or highly siliceous ores may have a crucible-shaped chamber with vertically-alined electrodes, circulation of gas and inductive heating being dispensed with. Specification No. 6468, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Iron &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 9851. Pierpont, F. H., and Lanston Monotype Corporation. April 26. Leading-mechanism for type setting machines controlled by a record-strip. The leads are supported above the entrance to the galley on two horizontal bars A', A<2>, Fig. 2, carried by a frame A which is so mounted on the machine frame that it can be turned aside when desired. The bar A<1> can be adjusted so as to support leads of different lengths. The leads are pressed by a spring- actuated lever D against two vertically-movable slides E, which are undercut so that in their descent they draw down the foremost lead into the galley. The slides E are provided with hooks E<3>, Fig. 7, which are adapted to be engaged by a latch F, Fig. 4, pivoted to the usual reciprocating galley-rule J. The rule J is provided with a slot into which the lead falls, so that, when the rule rises, the lead is pushed into the galley by the succeeding line of type. During the ascent of the rule, the latch F is caused by a spring F<4> to snap over the hooks E3 of the slides E, which are thereby caused to descend with the rule. To enable the leading-device to be thrown out of action, a rod F<2>, pivoted to the latch F, is adapted to strike an horizontal rod G, which is movable into and out of the path of the rod F'. The latch is thereby rocked during the ascent of the rule J, and fails to engage the hooks E<3>. The rod G is pressed by a spring against the edge of a disk having alternate shallow and deep notches. The disk is rotated by a ratchet-wheel and pawl actuated by the descent of the die-case when in a certain position, which is determined by a special signal in the record-strip. The same signal thus throws the device alternately into and out of operation. The device may be controlled independently of the die-case by a special movable pin actuated by the signal. The slides E are provided with interchangeable plates E<4>, Fig. 7, to suit leads of varying thickness. The leads are adjusted so as to ensure their entrance into the galley by a spring-actuated lever, one end of which enters the slot in the rule J and forces the lead against the side wall of the galley. Specifications 8633/99 and 18,638/99 are referred to.
