Abstract: 8835. Northwood, C. O. April 7. Annular-chamber type. -- The abutment and the steam inlet valve p<1> are respectively connected by pivoted levers h, f and r, r<1> with the actuating camgrooves e', s<1> of discs e, s on the main shaft d. When the parts occupy the positions shown in the Figures, the steam from the inlet pipep traverses the channelled valve p<1>, the steam chest o, and the pipes and passages o<2>, n<2> to the inlet port n<1> to act upon the vane or vanes c of the piston b. To reverse the engine, the steam or other motive fluid is diverted from the passage o<2> and port n' to the passage o<3> and port n by means of the slide valve o<5>. If desired, expansion valves may be used and the motive fluid may be expanded into two or more similar motors. Spring packing t, t<1>, u is provided for the ends of the vanes and abutments, and a curved abutment may be substituted for the straight abutment j.

Granted: 1898-03-19
Abstract: 9898. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. April 20. Medicinal preparations.-A mixed anhydride of gallic and salicylic acids, which is believed to have the constitution and is suitable for use in medicine, is prepared by heating a mixture of gallic and salicylic acids, or of their salts, with phosphorus oxychloride, or other chloride of phosphorus, or phosphoric anhydride, or other suitable dehydrating-agent. After purification, the product is insoluble in cold alkaline carbonates, but readily soluble in caustic alkalies, from solution in which it is reprecipitated by acids. It is insoluble in water, ether, or chloroform, and but slightly soluble in cold alcohol.

Title: An Improved Rotary Engine.
Inventor: HICKSON ERNEST
Filed: 1897-05-06
Granted: 1898-05-06
Abstract: 11,328. Hickson, E., [Hickson, S. A. E.]. May 6. Steam &c. turbines.-The steam or other motive fluid in the pressure chamber A traverses ports in the fixed diaphragm L, M to the turbine drum B, which is rotated by the action of the motive fluid upon the sides of prismoidal chambers formed within the drum by straight and curved partitions b, c. The motive fluid then traverses outlet ports in the fixed diaphragm N, 0 to the exhaust or condenser C. The engines may be compounded, or duplicate engines may be arranged on the same shaft for reversing purposes. The shape of the chambers formed by the partitions b, c depends upon the nature of the motive fluid in use ; and the inlet and outlet ports in the diaphragms L M, N 0 are controlled by valves or slides P, Q. The condensation of steam in the drum is minimized by the action of the outer casing in retaining the heat.

Title: Improvements in and in Apparatus for the Manufacture of Artificial Ice.
Filed: 1897-06-29
Granted: 1898-05-07
Abstract: 15,523. Clark, A. M., [Osmond, A, M. L Marquis d']. June 29. Ice-making.-Metallic freezing-surfaces are exposed on one side to the water to be frozen, and on the other side to a freezing and a heating agent alternately. The freezing-surface B on the water side is divided up by laths &c. of wood a<0> or other conducting-material, and may be flat or may have cup-shaped depressions or projections to produce corresponding plates, blocks, or cup-shaped pieces of ice. The cup-shaped pieces may be dished, ribbed, or corrugated on the bottom and sides. Arrangements of apparatus for this purpose are shown, by way of example, in Figs. 2 and 4 and the left side of Fig. 7. The cooling-agent is circulated through the false bottom or hollow partitions A<0>, or by pipes through the cupped shapes B. Subsequently warm air is circulated to liberate the ice formed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, a screw R produces a surface current to drift the ice towards the lifting-appliances. To produce solid blocks of ice, the ice cups are filled with water and stacked in a chamber, as shown in the right-hand side of Fig. 7, through which cold air is circulated. After filling with water a piece of ice may be laid on the top or the surface frozen before the second layer is stacked. A collapsable body, such as a bladder S, is placed in each ice cell to prevent its bursting when the water expands on freezing.

Abstract: 20,587. Meumann, H. G. Sept. 7. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to means for coupling together two bicycles of ordinary construction so as to form a vehicle which may be driven by an electric or other motor of ordinary construction. Fig. 1 shows the said vehicles in plan without the seat and foot board, which may be arranged right across from side to side. The main frame consists of three frames a, b, and c, suitably connected by transverse bars. The bicycles are connected to the main frame by shafts P, which pass through bearings carried by the main frame, and pass through and are keyed to sleeves in which the cranked axles of the bicycles are otherwise secured. This form of connection allows the main frame to rock on the bearings and the main and bicycle frames are further connected by clips 16 attached to the bicycles and to a block mounted between springs in segmental casings 11 secured to the main frame so as to prevent vibratiun. The vehicle is steered by a lever S coupled by a rod s to the steering-heads of the two bicycles. The lever S may be hollow to allow of the mounting within it of a rod for ringing a bell or alarm. The shafts P, P are connected to the driving-shaft H by ball or roller clutches arranged within the brake drums J, J. This arrangement allows the machine to overrun its driving-mechanism, and the speed is regulated by brake straps on the drums J, J. The wheels h on the shaft H are connected by gearing to pinions g<8>, g<8>, mounted loosely on the motor shaft and connected thereto by a friction clutch so that the engine can be started before the vehicle is driven.

Abstract: 1432. Garretson, O. S. Jan. 18. Metals, extracting.-Pyritic and like ores are smelted to obtain a matte which is Bessemerized or converted on the hearth or in a compartment of the furnace, flux being added to form a column above the matte. Figs. 1 and 2 show a sectional elevation and plan of one construction of furnace. A jacketed shaft furnace E has a hearth divided into two portions A, B separated by a dam a. At H are the ordinary tuyÞres, the converter tuyÚres being provided at I, c, q are tap-holes, and b the overflow for the slag. The matte produced in A flows into the compartment B, and is there converted, while the slag flows back to the outlet b and in its course is deprived of any metal it may contain. The charges through the different doors f are proportioned to the requirements of the process, there being an excess of flux over the compartment B. In the modified form of furnace shown in Fig. 5, the shaft is divided as well as the hearth. l is the converting division, k the matte receiver, and n' a slag well. In a further modification, the matte to be converted or enriched is run into the hearth of a shaft furnace below a column of flux and there converted.

Loom stop-motions; reversing-mechanism.-The dobby pattern mechanism and the drop-box pattern mechanism are connected together by gearing 32, 33, so that both may be turned together forwards or backwards by a hand-wheel 44. The dobby pattern cylinder 5 of a double index dobby, having pattern chain bars 7 with two rows of pattern pins 8, 9, is driven by a worm gear 10, secured to the shaft 4 by a spring clutch 11 and actuated by a worm 31 on the shaft 14, which is itself driven hy a gear-wheel 15 under the control of a sliding clutch 16 connected by a lever 19 and a cord with an arm on the knock-off shaft. The clutch 16 has a pin 17 to engage with a hole in the gear-wheel 15, so that, when the weft stop-motion acts, the dobby pattern mechanism is immediately put out of action, and remains out of action for two picks or a complete revolution of the shaft 14, after which the pin is again caused to engage automatically by means of the spring 21 on the pivot stud 20 of the lever 19. The drop-box pattern mechanism, comprising a pattern cylinder 35 and an auxiliary cylinder 40, actuated respectively by star-wheels 39, 43 from pin - wheels 38, 42 capable of sliding on a sleeve 49 on the shaft 34, is also put out of action for two picks by the same means, but in some cases this mechanism may be dispensed with, as the latter part of the invention is applicable to looms having the dobby mechanism only.
