Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Tri-chlor-ethylene and of Hexa-chlor-benzene.
Filed: 1906-10-25
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 23,780. Tompkins, H. K., and Clayton Aniline Co. Oct. 25. Trichloroethylene ; hexachlorbenzene. - Trichlorethylene and hexachlorbenzene are prepared from acetylene tetrachloride by contact with a heated surface. The tetrachloride is passed through a tube made of, or lined with an acid-resisting material, for example, copper, and containing pumice-stone, or other material with a large contact surface. For the production of trichlorethylene, the tube is raised to about 400-500‹ C., and the rate uf flow of the vapour is suitably regulated. The trichlorethylene and some acetylene tetrachloride are condensed, and then fractionally separated. The hydrochloric acid which passes on is absorbed. At higher temperatures, and with more prolonged contact, hexachlorbenzene is produced. The hexachlorbenzene may be similarly prepared, starting from trichlorethylene.

The skirt band is provided with hooks which are placed over the edge of the plate in notches 6. An alternative method of using the device is described.
Patent GB-190702118-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Receptacles especially adapted for Mustard.
Inventor: LINDEWIRTH CARL
Filed: 1907-01-28
Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 2118. Lindewirth, C., and Wieck, A. Aug. 25, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Condiment receptacles.-In mustard pots &c. in which the contents are ejected through a tube d by the depression of a piston c, the end of the tube d is closed by a valve d' which is automatically opened at the same time as the piston is depressed. The piston is depressed by the rotation of a hollow, screwed spindle a which forms a continuation of the discharge tube d and extends to the bottom of the receptacle, where it is provided with holes a<3>. This spindle is detachably connected with a toothed-wheel b which is rotated by a worm f operated by'a handle h. Displaceably mounted in the worm f, is a spindle e which has a square part e<1> to ensure the turning of the worm when the spindle is rotated. On the hub h<1> of the handle, are formed inclined surfaces which engage a pin g on the spindle e, so that when the handle h is turned, the spindle e is moved laterally. This movement is communicated through a series of levers and spindles k, w, k<1>, l<1>, l<3>, Fig. 6, to the valve d<3> which is thereby opened. Further displacement of the handle causes the spindle e, and consequently the worm f and the spindle a to rotate, depressing the piston and ejecting the mustard. This handle is returned to the initial position by springs. The valve casing d' intersects the valve d<3> at the outlet to prevent dripping. In modifications, the discharge valve is opened, on displacement of the handle, by the rotation of a screw spindle &c. ; or the valve may be such that the rods k, k<1>may be dispensed with. The piston may slide in guide-ribs or grooves formed on the inner wall of the receptacle.

Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 11,969. Flood, W. H., and Flood, G. A. May 23. Working valves.-A high-pressure rotary disk valve for hydraulic uses comprises a casing having four passages b, c, d, e, Fig. 4, each terminating in a plane facing on which rotates a disk valve having a radial cavity port k, Fig. 3, and a semicircular port l. The passage b emerges at the centre and the remaining passages in radial positions, as shown in Fig. 4. The valve is engaged by the squared convex end of the valve spindle m which is reduced to form a shoulder on which the pressure of the inlet fluid acts, through the port s, to balance the lifting tendency at the valve face. The rotation of the valve is limited by a screw stop u which engages projections t formed on the valve. A hole v enables any water which accumulates above the valve to escape. The inlet passage b is fitted with a back-pressure valve which closes in the event of a failure of pressure on the accumulator side of the valve.

Title: Improvements connected with Steam Generator or other Furnace Forced Draught Appliances.
Inventor: DOWNIE THOMAS
Filed: 1907-08-01
Granted: 1908-08-04
Abstract: 17,596. Downie, T., and Brown, D. Aug. 1. Forced - draught furnaces; emission of flames, preventing. - To prevent outrush of flames when the doors of forceddraught furnaces are opened, the dampers controlling the air supply are so arranged that both doors and dampers cannot be open at the same time. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2 applied to an horizontally hinged door, the lever k enters the notch in the bar l when the dampers are open and prevents the withdrawal of the bolts h. When it is desired to open the door, the lever k must first be lifted out of the notch by closing the damper d, and the bar l can then be moved. When the door is open the bar l prevents the opening of the dampers. The lever f on the damper spind'e by which the lever k is operated engages shoulders on the rod e, and is formed in two parts bolted together. In another arrangement, Fig. 7, applied to a vertically hinged door, the damper d is weighted so that it closes automatically when the door is opened, and is opened again when the door is closed by the sliding rod e.

Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 17,656. Skill, E. C. Aug. 2. Card games.-A device for shuffling playing- cards, shown in end elevation in Fig. 3, consists of a box having its ends A shaped as shown. The upper parts E of the sides are hinged to the lower parts and are formed with an horizontal ledge G of sufficient width to hold half a pack of cards, which are kept from sliding off by a bead H. A spring I is fixed to the outside of the hinged part and supports at its upper end a coiled spring K and a slide L. The slide is of metal and is pressed by the spring K against the upper edges of the cards when they are in position. The box is fitted with a double top P, the lower part of which, shown in Fig. 5, is pierced with two s!ots N for the reception of the slides L. The double top contains a wedge-shaped draw-plate Q attached to a rod R. A metal eye S, attached to the rod R slides along a second rod T on which a spiral spring U is threaded. This spring is compressed when the rod R is withdrawn and returns the draw-plate when the rod is released. A spring catch 0 holds the sides E in position when closed, and a spring wound round the hinges throws them open when the catch is released. In operation, the cards are placed in position and the sides E are closed. The rod R is gradually withdrawn, causing the draw-plate to force the slides outwards and gradually release the cards, which fall into the bottom of the box. The bottom is hinged and secured when closed by a spring catch. Fig. 6 shows a simplified form of the device. The two side pieces C are hinged to a framework A, and are fitted with ledges F for the reception of the cards. The springs J are shaped as shown and are withdrawn by hand. The cards fall into the frame which arranges them in a compact heap ready for use.
