Title: Improvements in Filters for Liquids.
Inventor: TIXIER AUGUSTE
IPC: B01D35/14
Filed: 1909-10-19
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 23,978. Tixier, A. Oct. 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Filters.-A bed of fine sand f rises to unequal heights in the two branches of a U-shaped receptacle between the reservoirs a, b for unfiltered and filtered liquid, and is confined by a ouvered wall h and a layer of stones g. Walls i, h form an inlet chamber, to which the water is admitted through a valve j. The filter is cleansed by a reverse flow, the liquid being discharged through a valve k. The sand is supplied through an opening m and discharged through a valve o. The partition c may be replaced by louver boards with cloth or a layer of stones on the inner side. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the liquid passes upwardly through the wall h, which is composed of two series of elements V-shaped in cross-section. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), describes also the use of sand or like filters formed with louverboards in this way for the filtration of gases. Gases may be saturated by means of volatile pulverulent materials, which are mixed wtih the filtering-medium. Masses of material to promote catalytic reaction may be confined in the same way. This subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Heel-attaching or Heel-nailing Machines used in the Manufacture of Boots or Shoes.
IPC: A43D79/00
Filed: 1909-11-01
Granted: 1910-11-01
Abstract: 25,058. Jerram, A. E., Gouldbourn, J., Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Nov. 1. Loose-nailing.-A heel-nailing or heel-attaching machine is provided with work-engaging members, of which one is hydraulically operated to exert and maintain a predetermined pressure on a heel while nails are driven. The heel is held between two members A, B, the upper A of which is formed as a plunger engaged by a lever E moving about a pivot D<2>. The lever E, which is operated by a ram F<1> in a cylinder F, is connected by a pin E<2> to a hand-lever G yieldingly pivoted at D<2>. When the hand-lever is forced down, the two levers G, E move together until the plunger A presses against the work, thus preventing further movement of the lever E. The lever G then begins to turn about the pin E<2>, compressing a spring H<1> by which it is yieldingly held to the pivot D<2>. A rod Q<4>, mounted on a lug G<2> extending from the lever G below the pivot D<2>, is then moved to trip a spring pawl and allow a detent P<3> to enter a recess in a clutch bolt P. The clutch bolt P carries the pivot K<6> for a lever K<5>, one end of which is connected to a crank K<3> operating a valve controlling the supply of liquid to the cylinder operating the lever E, while the other end carries a cam roll engaging a cam on the power shaft. Normally, the lever K<5> moves about its point of connexion with the rod K<4> connecting it to the crank K<3>, the clutch bolt P moving idly under the action of the cam. When the detent is thrown in, the bolt P is held stationary and the valve is operated in order to admit liquid to compress the heel, to lock the liquid in the cylinder while the nails are driven, and to allow the liquid to pass out to a reservoir. After one rotation of the power shaft, the detent is automatically reset by a pin on the cam disk. The end of the rod Q<4> that is pivoted to the main part is moved to one side by the movement of the detent P<3> in clutching the bolt, so that the bolt P can be clutched only once for one movement of the lever G. On raising the lever G, a projection Q<9> at the end of the rod Q<4> is engaged by the end of a rod Q<10> projecting from a slide Q<3> moved from the lever G by links Q, Q<1>. The trip for the detent is thus reset. The lever K<5> is also connected with links C', C<11> for throwing a stop C<17> under a plunger C<3> connected through a toggle C<1>, C<2> with a plunger C operating the nail-drivers. When the bolt P is clutched as before described, the stop is forced into position, through a yielding connexion, and the nail-drivers are operated. A pump driven from the power shaft returns the liquid to the pressure reservoir.

Abstract: 25,979. Lindblad, A. R., and Stalhane, O. Nov. 11, 1908, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Distilling zinc.-In a process for the reduction of zinc in an electric shaft furnace the ore, coal and fluxes are charged into the shaft, and a portion of the resulting gaseous mixture, consisting mainly of zinc and carbonic oxide, is led from the lower part of the furnace to external condensers, while the remaining portion rises in the shaft, where the zinc is deposited on the charge and carbonic oxide escapes. The deposited zinc is subsequently carried down into the smelting-chamber and revaporized, thereby enriching the vapours passing to the condensers; by charging sufficient ore into the shaft to replace the zinc passing to the condensers, the percentage of zinc in the vapour entering the condensers may be kept constant. The furnace may be of the type described in Specification 4553/09, [Class 39(iii), Heating by electricity].
