Abstract: 4493. Bachelder, E. N. March 9, 1908, [Convention date]. Urns and infusing-machines; pots.-Apparatus for making coffee or tea, in which boiling of the infusion is avoided, comprises a hot-water tank A, an infusion chamber B, and a siphonpipe E for conducting steam from a chamber e into the infusion. Preferably, the chamber B is supported in the tank A by a pipe D carrying a flanged disk G, which is divided to form a boiling-chamber e<1>, having an inlet g<2> and discharging through the pipe D, and a steamchamber e, to which a small amount of water is admitted through an opening g<1> and from which steam is led by the siphon-pipe E. The infusion is finally led back into the chamber A through the siphon E. A flange b<1> deflects the hot water into the infuser c; and an overflow pipe b<2> indicates when the chamber B is full and the infusion completed. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the application of the apparatus to the infusion of drugs &c., and also modifications in which the pipe D is omitted, the pipe E is straight, and the tank A is an ordinary coffee &c. pot. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 8734. Backus, C. G. April 13, 1908, [Convention date]. Barrel apparatus.-A work - holding barrel, mounted on a central shaft, is supported in bearings on arms 17, Fig. 1, with grooved contact plates 21 to engage contact members fixed on the sides of the tank. The contacts are held by buttons 24, and recessed blocks 20 are provided to receive the bearings and hold the barrel in position. Rotation is imparted from a pulley 51, Fig. 5, through a sliding clutch controlled by a spring, and a handle 57, and through gearing 34, 35, 36, Fig. 4, some of which is mounted on a pivoted frame 42 with a gear case 49, and a curved extension 42<a> to protect the clutch. The barrel can thus be readily disconnected and lifted out of the tank by means of handles 18. The barrel is composed of wooden or other staves with slotted edges, the slots being arranged in staggered relation to form passages for the electrolyte. To prevent the escape of small articles, the passages may be formed with bends, either by double boring or by slotting the grooved edges of the staves, as indicated in Fig. 11. A door, formed by uniting several staves, is held by a strap 8, Fig. 1, in a slot at one end, and a thumbscrew 9 at the other. Electrodes.-Each of the cathodes consists of a number of balls or knobs 33, Fig. 1, suspended from a cross-bar 30 connected to the pin-joint of a split collar 26.

Washing-machines with enclosed rotary receptacles. - Relates to (1) means for obtaining an injection and circulation of liquid into and through the inner drum and (2) means for discharging the liquid from the machine. (1) The inner drum 3 is provided with perforated ribs 17 containing perforated pipes 18 communicating with a pump 8, the arrangement being such that liquid is forced into the drum through coincident holes' 19 in the pipes and ribs, and escapes through other apertures 20 in the ribs. The liquid may be supplied through one or both trunnions to end chambers in the drum 3, and these chambers may be perforated to give axial jets. One or two intermediate perforated chambers may also be arranged within the drum. The liquid is supplied from either of two tanks 6, 7 through valves 21, and returns to the tanks from the outer drum 1 through valves 14 arranged in a neck 10 projecting from the drum. In order to make a tight joint between the neck and the tank inlet 11, the neck is drawn down against a washer 9 by means of a pivoted loop 12 adapted to engage lugs 13 on the neck. In the tank 6 are placed a heating-coil 22 and a scum-collector 24 comprising a float connected with an outlet by means of a swivelling pipe. (2) From the drum 1 projects a pipe 25 containing a spring-closed valve 26 operated by means of a push-rod 31. The pipe is adapted to register with the discharge conduit 29, the end of which is cut away at 30 to permit rotation of the drum 1 when desired.

Movable - abutment type; packing drums and vanes; plant.-In a Roots' - blower type of pump, the vanes rotate around central fixed bosses recessed to allow the passage of the vanes; and means are provided for packing and lubricating the rotating parts. Vanes p, p<1>, p2, p3, arranged in diametrical pairs, are secured at their ends to tenons o<2>, which are fixed to plates o provided with sleeves q. These sleeves are mounted on stationary, hollow, parallel shafts s formed with extensions l, l<1> around which the vanes rotate. In the extensions recesses m, m<1> are arranged having the, same curvature as the cylinder bore, and the vanes are so proportioned that before one recess is vacated by a vane the other recess is engaged by a vane on the other rotor. The sleeves q are provided with intermeshing gearwheels x<2>, x<3> driven by a spur-wheel x<1> on a parallel shaft x, an oil-bath gear-case j being employed. Pipes f supply oil, for lubricating and packing, to axially disposed grooves d in the cylinders; and oil under pressure is introduced into the shafts s and their extensions l, l<1>, whence it passes through channels n<2>, l<2> into grooves n<1>, l<3>. The sleeves q are packed by washers t of antifriction metal made in two pieces and seated in grooves in the sleeves. Washers u of plastic material such as caoutchouc, asbestos treated with caoutchouc, metallic strands, rolls of antifriction paste, or the like, are interposed between the washers t, and a cap holds the whole together.

Fibres, obtaining; retting.-In the preparation of fibres for spinning from ligneous vegetable stalks, such as nettle stalks, hop stalks, sunflower stalks, and the like, the stalks, loosened by a retting-process or by preliminary boiling, are boiled in an autoclave at 15 atmospheres pressure for 5 minutes in 2-8 per cent soda lye, so that the woody portions are destroyed and the fibrous material obtained, after washing in warm water under pressure, without any mechanical operation for separating the bast from the woody portions. Small cellulose fibres carried away by the warm water are collected for paper-making, and vegetable gum extracted in the boiling process in the autoclave may be used as glueing-material. The boiling in the autoclave, and the subsequent washing in water under pressure, may be repeated. The material may be bleached in sodium hypochlorite obtained by electrolysis of a solution of common salt, and then treated with dilute sulphuric acid. The fibres may be treated with glycerine vapour to make them softer and more flexible.
