Title: A Method of Dissolving Iodine in Mineral Oils.
Inventor: KLEVER FRIEDRICH WILHELM
Filed: 1897-02-26
Granted: 1897-11-27
Abstract: 5256. Lake, H. H., [Klever, F. W.]. Feb. 26. Iodine.-Relates to a process for dissolving iodine in mineral oils for medicinal purposes. Mineral oils of a specific gravity of À89 to À90, with or without the addition of fatty oils or oleic acid, are mixed with caustic or carbonated alkalies, and heated to a temperature of 200‹ C. during the injection, under pressure, if necessary, of oxygen. Or the mixture may be simply shaken up with air. Iodine is dissolved in this emulsion to the extent of about 6 per cent. to form the required product.

Title: Improvements in File Cutting Machines.
Inventor: ZENSES JOHANN CARL
Filed: 1897-03-22
Granted: 1897-10-16
Abstract: 7395. Zenses, J. C. March 22. File-cutting machines.-The anvil W', carrying the bed for the file blank R, is connected with mechanism by which its regular motion beneath the reciprocating chisel Z may be modified, so that the cuts upon the curved end of the blank may have a constant inclination and be closer together than on the rest of the blank. The chisel oscillates always in one straight line, and the anvil W<1> is curved, as shown, to fit into a curved bed in the sliding carriage B. The anvil is tilted on its bed by a fixed templet P on which runs the roller O<3> connected by rods O<2>, 0 to the anvil. A step-bystep motion is given to the carriage B by a worm E having a straight as well as a curved part. This worm E is fixed on the main shaft, and gears with a worm-wheel F on the shaft F<1> connected by a belt L to a screw H gearing with a worm-wheel M on a shaft carried by standards on the carriage B. The worm M can be locked by a cam to a lever U carrying a roller running on the templet X. While the roller runs on the level part of the templet, the worm-wheel M acts as a nut and the feed is uniform ; but when the roller runs on the inclined part the wheel M gives a little and the feed is less. The file bed can be turned axially on the anvil W<1> by a screw. Figs. 10, 11, and 12 show sections of a bed Y for supporting a half-round file blank a to ensure the blow of the chisel being uniform from end to end, and that the cuts may have less width and depth at the small end of the file.

Title: Improvements in Mechanism for the Formation of Loop Cloth in Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: HYDE THOMAS
Filed: 1897-11-11
Granted: 1898-10-01
Abstract: 26,279. Hyde, T., and Hodgson, M. Nov. 11. Looms, pile forming in; loose-reed motions.-For forming looped or terry cloth a toothed quadrant A, pivoted upon a bent bracket B, is actuated by a catch C on a lever D, which is operated by the box-lifting rod of the change-box mechanism or by the dobby. A lug G on the quadrant lifts a lever G<1> connected by a wire K to a lever L, which is thus caused to lower a slotted piece M' and allow the end N<1> of the catch N to engage with the slotted bracket 0 and thus draw forward the reed rail Q, so that the reed fails to beat up the weft. The lever G also releases the retaining- catch F<1> and allows the quadrant to fall, and at the same time a lug H<1> lowers the arm H of the back bearer and causes a slack shed of the warp threads of the supplementary warp beam P.

Abstract: 29,089. Zimmer, G. F. Dec. 9. Processes of treating maize &c. -Relates to gelatinizing and drying apparatus used in the manufacture of flaked maize, malt, and similar products. The gelatinizing apparatus, Fig. 1, consists of a steaming-cylinder a and a steam - jacketed cooking- cylinder b, in each of which works a rotary conveyer. The grain is fed into the cylinder a at e, and is discharged by a shoot f into the cylinder b, from which it is discharged by a shoot g. The cylinder a is provided with a safety outlet consisting of a shoot g<1> with weighted flap door. The vapours are removed by a chimney n connected to the cylinders a and b by the pipes shown. Steam and water are introduced into the cylinder a from a pipe h having a number of valves and a number of jets not shown, but connected to the cylinder a. Water is introduced at the feed end and steam at the discharge end of the cylinder a. The drying-apparatus, for treating the grain after it has been flaked between rolls, consists of an annular chamber between an inner rotary cylinder q and an outer cylinder r, the lower part of which is connected to and rotates with the cylinder q and the upper part of which is fixed. A mantle x, connected to a fan, is arranged round the upper part of the cylinder r to draw off the vapour and promote the circulation through the grain of the hot air which enters through the pipe u. Baffles t and t<1> for deflecting the air current are arranged within the chamber q. A scraper y may be arranged at the bottom of the cylinder q, to prevent it from becoming clogged. A stirrer w<1>, consisting of two arms of unequal length, is arranged in the feed-hopper w, to prevent arching of the material.

Title: Improvements in Alternating Electic Current Motive Apparatus.
Filed: 1900-05-08
Granted: 1900-12-31
Abstract: 8475. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Steinmetz, C. P.]. May 8. Electric governors. - An alternating - current induction motor, specially intended for the automatic regulation of alternating-current apparatus, but applicable to speed-regulation generally, is so constructed and arranged that rotation will take place in one direction when the supply current exceeds a certain frequency, and in the opposite direction when the frequency falls below this value. The secondary member of the motor may be geared to any suitable form of governor, the valve of an engine, the admission gate of a water-wheel, the rheostat of a motor, &c. Fig. 1 is a diagram of the motor D applied to the regulation of a steam engine E driving a singlephase alternator A, the secondary member of the motor operating the steam-admission valve V. The primary member of the motor is wound with two coils C, C<I>, connected in series between the mains a and b and arranged 90‹ apart. One of the coils C is shunted by a phase-modifying device, consisting of an inductive coil I and a condenser F, connected together in series. When the motor is supplied with currents of a certain frequency, the inductance and capacity of the phase-modifying device balance one another, and the motor remains at rest; when, however, the frequency rises or falls, either the inductance or the capacity preponderates, a displacement of phase takes place, and the motor starts in one direction or the other. In an alternative arrangement, the coils C, C' are connected together in parallel, the phase-modifying device being connected in series with the coil C<1>.
