Title: An Improved Machine for Extracting Palm Oil from the Chaff of Palm Nuts.
Inventor: PHILLIPS SAMUEL CHARLES
IPC: C11B1/10
Filed: 1907-04-26
Granted: 1907-06-27
Abstract: 9733. Phillips, S. C. April 26. Fats and fatty oils, extracting. An apparatus for extracting palm - oil from palm - nuts comprises a casing 1 with rough interior 8, within which revolves a drum 3 'carrying beaters 4. The casing is closed at the top by a hinged water tank 10 provided with a perforated bottom 12 through which water may flow into the casing 1, the flow being controlled by a perforated plate 13 which can be raised or lowered by means of the spindle 14 and nut 16. The agitation of the nuts in the casing removes the chaff from them and extracts the oil from the chaff, the mixture of oil and water passing through the perforated bottom 18 of the casing into the inclined trough 19, and thence into the tank 25, where the supernatant oil overflows by the spout 26 and the water is drawn off by the tap 27. The exhausted chaff and cleaned nuts pass through the door 21 and shoot 24 into receptacles. The water drawn off by the tap 27 may be cooled in shallow vessels in order to cause the residual intermixed oil to gather on the surface.

Filed: 1908-07-25
Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 15,874. Rowe, G. H. July 25. hammers, power.-Cushioning is obtained by employing a solenoid as an electro-magnetic link. The solenoid 2, Figs. 1 and 3, is reciprocated by the connecting-rod 7 from the crank disk 6, slotted so that variable stroke is obtainable. The iron core 15, slidable in the non-magnetic metal lining 24, carries a hammer and is threaded with iron rings 30<a> alternating with copper rings 30, in which currents are induced by the relative motion, which tend to aid the action of the coil on the core. The strength of the blow is varied by altering the current by means of the rheostat 19 operated by the treadle 22 ; a spring 3<a> may be provided to help to raise the solenoid. Fig. 9 shows another form of solenoid in which the winding is divided into a number of coils 35 so wound that the iron rings 34 have alternate polarity, the core being also formed of rings of iron and copper 36, 37. The rings 36 are made of different thickness from the rings 34 so as to avoid having any point of maximum pull. The coil and the core may be interchanged.

Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 19.136. Martin, V. Sept. 14, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Hides and skins, raw and tanned or tawed, treating.-In a staking-machine, work-gripping jaws are provided for holding the hide stationary during the working-stroke and releasing it during the idle stroke. A machine is shown in part longitudinal section in Fig. 1, and slightly modified in partsectional plan in Fig. 4. The staking-roll 2 and blades 3, 4 are carried by a frame 7 which reciprocates in guides 16 under the action of a crank-pin 18 and connecting-rod 17 the overhung end of which forms a cam 32, 32<a> for actuating the roll 2. The axle of the roll is linked by a lever 5 and rods 8, 10 to one arm 12 of a bell-crank lever, the other 34 of which carries a roller 33 bearing on the cam. The cam is so shaped as to depress the roller 2 during the backward stroke. The hide-gripping device consists of a fixed jaw 19 and a movable jaw 20 which is carried by arms 21 pivoted at 22 and overhung at 23 to engage rods 25. These rods are linked to levers 26, which are pivoted at 27 and have rollers 28 for engagement with camsurfaces 29, 29<a>, formed in the crank-disks so as to close the jaws 20, 19 during the working-stroke and open them during the return stroke to allow the hide to be moved. The staking-tools may be opened without stopping the machine, this being effected by raising a treadle 35. The treadle shaft 38 carries on arms 36 a bar 37, which disengages the clutch-joint 39, 40, Fig. 4, between the boss of the connecting-rod 17 and the cam-block 32 against the action of a spring 43. The cam thereupon ceases to rock, and the tools 3, 4 are retracted by springs 7<a>. The jaw 20, Fig. 1, may be caused to move in a vertical plane by providing wedges on the rods 25 to pull down stirrups formed on two vertical spring-restored rods made in one with the jaw.

Granted: 1909-11-26
Abstract: 22,693. Jones, J. A., and Gubelman, F. P. J. Oct. 26. Corks; stopper washers &c.-A composition cork, suitable for sealing beer and like bottles, is made from granules of cork united by thin coatings of india-rubber. The cork granules are mixed with a solution of pure rubber and a vulcanizing-agent such as sulphur, and the mixture is compressed and heated to the temperature of soft vulcanization, the rubber solvent being expelled at any suitable stage. Suitable solvents for the rubber are gasoline, benzine, ard naphtha, the proportions being 1 oz. by weight of rubber to a pint of the solvent. The preferred proportions in the composition cork are 2 oz. by weight of cork to 1-1¢ oz. by measure of rubber solution. The cork may be moulded into thin cork disks, or moulded in rod form which is afterward cut into disks. Usually a film of the binder is formed on one of the flat faces of such a disk ; this film acts as a protection to the metal cap, or may be used to attach the metal cap to the disk. As shown in Fig. 3, the compressed mixture of cork and binder, which has been compressed in one or more stages, is retained in the compressed state by plungers held in the mould b by pins f, g, and is then suitably heated.

Abstract: 16,328. Weber, C. H. July 13. Filaments.-Tungsten filaments are made from a combination, which is stated to be a chemical compound, of the metal or its lower oxides with pyridine or quinoline. This material is mixed with a very little binding-material, squirted, heated in a porcelain tube to about 800‹ C. in a vacuum, cut into lengths, and heated by current to about 3000‹ C. in an indifferent gas such as hydrogen, nitrogen, or ammonia, to complete the decarbonization. To prepare the tungsten-pyridine &c. combination, tungstic acid is reduced by DÚlÚpine's process, and the product, which usually contains some lower oxides, is freed from impurities by boiling with acids, and washing with water. It is then treated with, for instance, an alcoholic or aqueous solution of pyridine while kept very cold, about 6-10 per cent of pyridine &c. being absorbed. The compound resembles tungsten, but is less readily oxidized. It may be heated to 200‹ C. in a vacuum, but it decomposes into the metal and pyridine &c. at 300‹ C. in a vacuum or in hydrogen, and into tungstic acid, water, carbon dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen when heated in oxygen.
