Title: Process of Pasteurizing in Closed Vessels Liquids Containing Gases.
Inventor: HOFFMANN ADOLF GEORG
Filed: 1906-11-02
Granted: 1907-05-09
Abstract: 24,579. Hoffmann, A. C., Camphausen, M., and Camphausen, F., [trading as Deutsche Siphnn-Fabrik, Hoffmann, Schwarz, & Co.]. Nov. 2, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Sloppers.-In order to permit of pasteurizing gaseous liquids such as beer in closed bottles &c. which may be quite full of the liquid, an extension directly or indirectly closed is secured to the neck, into which the cork &c. is driven during the heating, being returned on cooling by the pressure developed above it. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a closed tube C<1> is secured to the neck A' of the bottle, into which tube the cork B<1> is driven on heating, the pressure thus developed in the chamber C serving to force it back again on cooling. The tube C', as in Fig. 2, may be closed by a sliding piston B', in which case the heating-chamber F is entirely filled with liquid and is sealed. The pressure is thus transmitted through the heating- liquid to the outer walls of the bottles and bursting avoided. In a further modification, the tube C' is open and projects into an air space above the heating-liquid in the chamber F, which is sealed as before.

Abstract: 20,648. Hartenstein, H. L. Sept. 17. Furnaces for calcium compounds; rotary kilns ; waste gases, utilizing.- Relates to apparatus for carrying out the process claimed in Specification No. 20,647, A.D. 1907, the apparatus being also described in that Specification. The carbon monoxide evolved in the final fusion stage of the process is mixed with air that has been heated by the waste lime-kiln gases, and is burnt in the lime kiln. The plant used belongs to that type in which spent lime is revivefied in a rotating chamber, intermediate between which and the combustion chamber is placed the discharge opening, but according to this process the discharge opening is situated in a housing which is separate from both the combustion and the calcining chambers. The calcium carbonate is introduced into one or more rotary inclined kilns 1, 2 from hoppers 11, 12, and is burnt by means of a hot blast, such as may be produced by burning gas in stationary chambers 15 connected with the kilns. The gas is supplied by a generator 17. The lime falls through an opening 21 at the hottest part of the kiln, preferably formed in a separate housing 22, and is delivered to a weighing-machine 26. Carbonaceous material from the weighing-machine 28 is added, and the mixture is treated in the mixer 27 and then fused in one or more electric or other furnaces 31, 32. The carbonic oxide from these furnaces is passed through the mains 33, 20 by means of an exhauster 36 into the combustion chamber 15, with the necessary supply of air to support combustion. This air is preferably first heated by passage between a jacket 44 and an horizontal chamber 42, which is fed with waste gases from the kilns 1, 2 by way of the chamber 37, drum 40, and up-take 41. The coke &c. supplied from the hoppers 54 is heated before admixture with the hot lime, by being passed along the chamber 42 by means of an endless conveyer 52, provided with pockets 53 or other means for conveying the coke &c. towards the hopper 30.

Abstract: 6816. Whitehead, W., and Smith, A. H. March 22. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains.- The ends of the double-incline track contacts of a mechanical and electrical cab signalling-apparatus are arranged to work in slotted guide-brackets, and an improved ratchet resetting-device is used on the engine. The track contacts consist of double inclines G centrally pivoted to crank F mounted on a counter-weighted shaft E, a crank D connected to which is operated with the signals by an extension B of the ordinary signal-operating connexions. Two contacts are provided, one inside each rail, and are raised when the signal goes to danger, their outer ends having pins J which slide in slots K in brackets L fixed to the sleepers. When in the raised position, these rails contact with a roller U mounted on the end of a vertically moving rod R on the engine, the upper end of the rod being connected to a semaphore arm V, which is thereby moved to danger in front of one of the look-out windows. The movement of the rod simultaneously releases a spring switch to close the circuit of a bell Y. The bar is held in its raised position by a spring ratchet 3 engaging the notched sleeve 1, until re-set by the driver pulling the handle 5. Any other signal may be substituted for the cab semaphore, and instead of closing a bell circuit the upward movement of the rod may operate a steam whistle. A buffer spring 7 is also provided for the rod R. Different numbers of pairs of track contacts may be used at different signals to inform the driver as to which class of signal he is approaching. The trackcontacts may also be operated in connexion with crossing gates, to give a danger signal when the gates are closed, and further, a telltale indicator may be operated to record the movements of the rod R.
