Patent GB-190826829-A (GB)
Title: Method of Preserving the Nitrogen in Liquid Farm Yard Manure
Inventor: ORTMANN CHRISTIAN
Filed: 1908-12-10
Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 26,829. Ortmann, C. Dec. 10. Systems; cesspools; sewage reservoirs; cleansing.- Solid excreta and litter are separated from liquid farmyard manure by filtering the liquid through material such as gravel, carbon, gypsum, straw, or peat, which forms part of the cover of the collecting-channels, and the nitrogenous constituents of the liquid are prevented from volatilizing and escaping by excluding air from the passages and storage tanks and by treating with a fixing-agent such as gypsum, oil, or petroleum. As shown in Fig. 1, the filtering-material d is supported in the collecting- channels by bars f of a square cross-section. Fig. 3 shows a channel with two filtering- layers d supported by roofshaped covers. In one modification of this form, the lower layer and cover are omitted, and in another a grating replaces the upper layer and cover. Bars b, Fig. 6, support a double cover c, the lower half dipping into the liquid, and the space between it and the walls of the channel being filled with oil or other suitable liquid so as to restrict the admission of air. In other forms, the cover has bell-shaped recesses to receive the filtering- medium or consists of corrugated iron sheets. The liquid passes from the collecting-channels to gutters o, Fig. 7, running along the back of the stalls and is delivered to a main channel p. If the gutters are of open construction, arrangements are made to dam up the liquid so as to obtain a horizontal surface which may be covered with oil at the sides. A fixing-agent such as ground gypsum may be spread on the floor of the gutters. As shown in Fig. 7, the dam is formed by a box-shaped insertion q. The liquid, after passing through the strainer s, enters the box through the pipe t, rises through a fixing- agent of greater specific gravity than the manure, and overflows through the pipe v. A layer of oil and floats z cover the liquid in the channel p. Fig. 8 shows modified apparatus in which a box q<1> contains reagent of low specific gravity, through which the manure passes downwards. Lugs 16 arranged on the bottom of the channel o<2> retain a heavy fixing-agent. From a mud-pit 1 the liquid passes through a screen 2 to a tank 4 partly filled with a heavy fixing-agent and thence to a tank 6, from which it can be removed to a storage tank by means of a pump 21. When the manure is passed through a closed pipe, the pipe is placed sufficiently high at the head to keep it full of liquid, its inlets are protected from air by means of oil, and it may be cleansed by agitating a chain which passes through it. The inclined surfaces of the flooring from which the liquid is collected may be covered with a fixing-agent.

Abstract: 27,094. Arbetter, W. Dec. 14. Blind-stitching machines, folding-attachments; needle-driving, - A ruffling or gathering device is provided in a blind - stitching machine. The machine described is similar to that described in Specification No. 19,080, A.D. 1906, and is provided with improved needle-driving mechanism. The ruffling-blade 66 is carried by a slide 63 which is guided by an oblique slot 64, Fig. 6, so as to reciprocate at an angle to the edge of the seam and thereby force the folded edge of the fabric against a guiding-edge 71 on the presser-foot. The slide 63 has a pin 62 which is engaged by the forked end 61 of an actuator 57, which receives suitable motion from a cam 56 rotating once for every two stitches. The stroke of the ruffling-blade is determined by a screw stop 72 in the actuator 57. The head of this screw is fluted so that a spring 74 can prevent accidental movement. The ruffling blade can be put out of action at any time by raising a lever 68. The needle shaft is oscillated by the usual rod 5. The ball-joints comprise sleeves 77, Fig. 3, of spherical exterior which are slipped over plain crank-pins. Spherical bushings are fitted in the connecting-rod eyes. The vertical shaft 12 which carries the needle shaft is oscillated by a cam 40 acting on a bowl 32. This bowl is carried by a piece 30 adjustably secured to the lever 27. The position of the bowl relative to the lever 27 may be altered by turning the head 36 of a pin, an eccentric portion of which engages a slot in the piece 30. A pointer 37 indicates the amplitude of the swing of the needle.
