Patent GB-190700703-A (GB)
Title: Improved Process for Obtaining Pure Copper.
Inventor: JUMAU LUCIEN
Filed: 1907-01-10
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 703. Jumau, L. Jan. 10. Carbonic acid; sulphuric acid; sulphates; ammonium sulphate and bisulphate.-Relates to improvements in the invention described in Specification No. 530, A.D. 1907, which states that copper and sulphuric acid are obtained by heating a solution of copper salt under pressure with sulphurous acid. According to the present invention, excessive pressure due to the sulphur dioxide is avoided by introducing into the copper solution only the quantity of sulphurous acid theoretically necessary without attaining saturation of the sulphurous acid and by heating gradually ; or by heating the copper solution and then gradually introducing the theoretical quantity of sulphur-dioxide gas under pressure. Ammonium or other sulphite may be used instead of sulphurous acid. The ammonium sulphite may be obtained by passing the sulphur dioxide given off from the ore during roasting into a solution of ammonia. The latter may be regenerated by heating with lime the ammonium sulphate formed when the copper is precipitated. Ammonium bisulphite may also be regenerated by heating the ammonium bisulphate formed. The precipitation of the copper may also be effected by heating the solution under pressure with carbon monoxide or a gas or mixture of gases containing it, such as water gas, illuminating gas, or the well-known compound of carbon monoxide and cuprous chloride, or organic matters, such as glucose, dextrin, organic acids, sawdust, shavings, or waste.wood may be employed. Carbonic acid is generated in the latter cases, and may be absorbed by lime in a vessel communicating with the vessel in which the treatment under pressure is taking place.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Fog-signalling Apparatus for use on Railways and the like.
Inventor: CLOUGH SAMUEL
Filed: 1907-02-02
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 2624. Clongh, S., and Watson, H. Feb. 2. Detonator apparatus ; detonating signals; rods and wires for operating.-A detonator apparatus controlled by the signalman is released by a trainactuated trip gear to allow a counterweight to operate the detonator placing mechanism, which consists of an endless chain passing over two sprocket-wheels driven by a ratchet and pawl. When the signal is set to line clear,' the detonator on the rail is lifted by a finger controlled by the signal wire. The signal wire 2 passes to the counterweight 4, and the wire 11 connects the wire 2 to the quadrant 8 which is also connected to the wire 13 and the counterweight 12. The counterweight 12 is held up by the detent 24 until the latter is released by the engagement of the train wheels with the trip-plate 25<A>, which is thus rocked ; the counterweight is then free to take up the slack on the wire 11, as the signal lever is in the danger' position, and to move the quadrant 8 from the position shown in Fig. 6 towards the left of the Figure. The pawl 9 thus drives the ratchet 10 and the shaft 7 through a quarter revolution. The shaft 7 is geared through bevel-wheels to the sprocketwheel 17, on which the chain carrying the detonators 15 runs. The sprocket-wheels are constructed with spring-actuated clutch members which ensure correct placing of the detonators on the rail. Two hinged plates 20 serve to keep the detonators in place on the chain. A guide 26 supports the detonator on its passage to the rail, and a stop 27 prevents excessive movement by engaging a projection 15<A> on the detonator carrier. A finger 33, operated by the projection 31 on the quadrant 8, lifts the detonator from the chain when the quadrant is moved the first part of its stroke. Two detonators may be simultaneously placed by connecting two such apparatus together in various ways. A counter of ordinary construction may be placed in the cabin to show the number of detonators exploded.

Patent GB-190719889-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Processes for Producing Pictures Photographic Printing Plates and the like.
Inventor: BOERNER RUDOLF
Filed: 1907-09-05
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 19,889. Boerner, R. Sept. 11, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901 ]. Printing-paper and the like ; photo-mechanical printing.-Prints on pigment paper are obtained from silver originals without the action of light by the chemical action of a solution containing a haloid salt or sulphocya-nide, ferricyanide, and bichromate of potash, together with a catalyzing- salt, in which solution the pigment paper is soaked before being placed in contact with the original. Catalyzers, such as salts of cerium, iron, uranium, nickel, cobalt, vanadium, titanium, manganese, mercury, or copper, are employed to accelerate the reduction of the bichromate by the ferrocyanide resulting from the action of the potassium bromide and the silver on the ferricyanide. The resulting chromic compounds render the gelatine insoluble, and thus yield a developable picture. The faded original may be restored by development. Substances having a tanning action on gelatine, such as alum or iron alum, and other substances such as citric acid, potassium citrate, alcohol, or acetone, may also be added to the sensitizing-bath. Collodion originals are first soaked in alcohol with or without glycerine. This process is also applicable in the preparation of photomechanical printing plates.

Abstract: 22,840. Mitchell, H. C. Oct. 16. Inking- apparatus; rotary machines. -In apparatus in which decorative effects such as imitation graining, veining, or striping are 'produced upon the surface of paper &c. by passing the material between rollers &c., upon one or more of which colour is applied, the colour roller or rollers rotate within a bath of liquid such as water to cause the colour to " run " on the rollers. The colour is applied to the rollers by a brush or pad, by a ring or belt pad, or other means operating continuously or intermittently. The colour which is not at first completely taken up by the paper may be taken up at a subsequent turn of the roller, causing a weaker impression in the same colour, or means may be employed to remove the surplus colour from the rollers after an impression. The deposit of colour on the rollers may be modified by means of a graining-comb &c. The paper so decorated may be varnished or otherwise treated. Paper or other material treated according to the process described in Specification No. 22,106, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Printing other than letterpress &c.], may be decorated as described.
