Patent GB-190100393-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electrolysis and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1901-01-07
Granted: 1901-03-30
Abstract: 393. Newton, P. A., [National Electrolytic Co.]. Jan. 7. Alkaline chlorates.-Relates to a process and apparatus for electrolysing solutions, particularly for preparing sodium and potassium chlorates. The electrolyte flows continuously through the cell. The electrodes are in close proximity to one another, about one-sixteenth to oneeighth of an inch apart, and are insulated from one another, but otherwise only separated by the liquid itself. The current employed is about 2 to 4 ampÞres per square inch of electrode surface, and the capacity of a cell is from 2 to 4 cubic inches per square inch of electrode surface. The result of this is that the current itself raises the electrolyte to the required temperature, namely, between 90‹ and 200‹ F., and preferably between 110‹ and 120‹ F. The temperature may be controlled by regulating the rate of flow of the liquid, whether the source of heat be the current itself, or wholly or partly external to the cell. The solution obtained is very weak, preferably containing less than 3 per cent. of chlorate. Several cells are built up together, through which the current is passed in series. In the example shown, each cell is made of a frame A having a metallic resisting lining B. One side is constructed of a metallic-plate D faced with platinum or other non- attackable material E and forming the anode. At the other side there are a number of vertical parallel rods or wires C, preferably of copper, which form the cathode and prevent polarization. They are separated from the opposing anode by horizontal insulating-rods O. The solution is charged through tubes G reaching to near the bottom of the cell, and overflows through the outlet H. The hydrogen developed rises freely up the rods or wires, and also escapes through the outlet H. A number of these cells are connected together by plates K, J and bolts L, a gasket F being placed between each pair of cells to insulate the opposing anode and cathode. The first and last cells are connected up to the two leads. The weak chlorate solution obtained is led away to a cooling-vessel, in which the chlorate separates. The solution is then pumped up to a tank, where it mixes with fresh salt, and is again led to the electrolysing-cells. If a chlorate, such as that of sodium, is produced which is more soluble than the corresponding chloride, the latter is separated out by crystallization, and the chlorate obtained by evaporating the solution left.

Title: Improvements in Electric Storage Batteries or Accumulators
Inventor: NIBLETT JOB THOMAS
Filed: 1901-01-28
Granted: 1901-11-30
Abstract: 1890. Niblett, J. T. Jan. 28. Secondary batteries.-In order to prevent loss of current, the parts of the conducting plate or grid a, Fig. 5, which are not covered with active material are provided with a rim or frame c of insulating- material, the inner edges of which may be bevelled or stepped to aid in securing the active material b in place. Sheathings e are provided around those portions of the conducting-lugs a<2> which are immersed in the electrolyte. Whether the sheathings e are used or not, the lugs may be coated with a metal or alloy which is not easily oxidized. The separators h, Figs. 7 and 8, are preferably made of porous earthenware, and, to prevent waste of current, those parts h<2> of the separators which do not lie opposite to the active material may be rendered impervious by glazing or the like. The plates and separators may be bound together in bundles by rubber bands, or may be cemented into the cell. The conducting supports or grids a may be decreased in thickness and weight by electrolysis, in which case the negative supports are used as cathodes, so that the metal taken away from the ore may be deposited on the other. In the case when active material is applied to one side only of the plate or grid a, the other side is covered with a plate of insulating-material.

Granted: 1903-07-16
Abstract: 11,019. Daudelin, J. B. May 14. Loom shuttles.-Consists of a shuttle with arrangements to facilitate threading, and an adjustable or other tension device. The thread, as it leaves the end of the spindle B, is pulled forward under the lip h of the threading-plate H, and is carried down between the inclined shoulder d of the guiding-notch D and the inclined face N of the threading-plate flange M, and is brought into the notch D and recess m, in the plate M. It is thus brought between an arm l and post L, which constitute the tension device. The post L is, preferably, square with smoothed or rounded corners, and cylindrical ends engaging apertures in the plate H and the bottom of the threading-recess C. It is placed in the centre of the curved wall of the recess C, so that the curved arm l can be swung round in contact with the wall, and is held in position by friction, the plate H being held firmly down on the shouldered portion of the post L by the securing-post I. Thus the thread may be caused to travel round the post L at different angles. The thread is drawn round under the plate H by a transverse movement, and passes down the threading-slit F into the metallic lining E in the delivery eye, through the slit e. The rod G serves as a thread-retaining device, and, for securing the bushing E, it may pass through a hole in the bottom of the bushing, or outside of the end. The tension device may consist merely of a vertical post, round which the thread passes, in which case, the plate is secured to the shuttle by screws.
