Patent GB-190403682-A (GB)
Title: Process for Providing Iron Vessels, such as those in which Beer is Prepared or Stored, with a Protective Coating, more particularly applicable to Pasteurising Vessels.
Inventor: LAPP VALENTIN
Filed: 1904-02-13
Granted: 1904-04-14
Abstract: 3682. Lapp, V. Feb. 13. Preservative compositions.-Iron vessels, such as are used for preparing or storing beer, and particularly pasteurizing-vessels, are treated with tannic acid and then subjected to the action of boiling linseed, resin, or castor oil. In preparing resin oils, the resin is first heated to remove volatile acids, turpentine, &c., and is then subjected to fractional distillation to obtain viscous oils. The vessels to be treated are immersed in a bath of the oils. If linseed oil is employed, it is preferably refined and bleached, and then submitted to a lower temperature to separate out solid constituents. The oil may be applied to the surfaces of the vessel, after treatment with tannic acid, by means of a brush, and the vessels are then subjected to the action of hot air under pressure ; the pressure of the air is gradually reduced, and a current of hot air passed through the vessels to carry off the oil vapours. The oil-coated surfaces may be subjected to the action of hot air without pressure, then of hot air under pressure, and then of hot air without pressure. Preferably, the vessels are heated by hot air before coating with oil. A glazing of shellac or other resinous material may be applied to the oilcoated surfaces.

Patent GB-190413900-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Apparatus for Heating, Cooling, or the like.
Inventor: BREWTNALL ARTHUR WILFRED
Filed: 1904-06-20
Granted: 1905-04-20
Abstract: 13,900. Brewtnall, A. W. June 20. Condensers.-Corrugated plates, Figs. 1 and 2, separated by distance frames or pieces, Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6, are secured together so that the structure, Fig. 11, consists of plates and frames alternately. The plates, which have plain margins, are so superposed that the surfaces of the corrugations are in contact, or nearly so, and the corrugations on successive plates run in different directions alternately. The distance-frames may have orifices or serrations which serve as the inlets and outlets for the fluids, formed either at the ends, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, or at the sides, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. The frames are arranged so that one form alternates with the other, as shown in Figs. 10 and 11. In this way, the liquids between which heat is transferred flow in directions which are inclined to one another. The plates and distance-frames are held together by end clamping-plates 8, which are drawn together by bolts or the like 9 so as to make a tight joint between the margins of the plates and the frames. Packing-material, such as india-rubber or spuncord, may be placed in grooves in faced surfaces of the frames; or the faced surfaces may be covered with elastic packing-material.

Title: Improvements in Continuous Kilns for Burning Fireproofing Tile and other Clay Products.
Inventor: HENRY DAVID FORD
Filed: 1904-06-25
Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 14,374. Henry, D. F. June 25. Kilns.-In a kiln for burning clay products, particularly hollow fireproofing-tiles, the articles are carried through the kiln on water-cooled supports connected to a chain outside the kiln. After a fire 32 has been started, the kiln may be further heated by finely-powdered coal supplied through openings 34 in the crown, a continuous draft being maintained towards the ends of the kiln by fans or blowers connected at 33. Baffles 6, 7, extending right across the kiln, are fitted as shown, and the side walls 2 are provided with a slot 8. The endless chain 14, opposite this slot, is connected to sprocket-wheels 11, 15, driven by a worm-wheel 18 gearing with the shaft 17. The articles to be burnt enter the kiln by the door 19 and are taken out at 20. They are carried on three parallel tubes 21 united by a manifold 22 to a tube 23 which passes through the slot in the walls and is attached to a bucket 24, loosely mounted on a pin 25 projecting from the chain. Outlets 27, from a water-supply pipe 26, are placed above the buckets, so that water received into the top bucket circulates through the tubes 23, 21 and passes by a spout 28, fitted below the top of those tubes, to the bucket below. At the top of the kiln, the spouts discharge water into a trough 29, whence it passes through pipes 30 to the ascending buckets. Plates 31 are attached to the buckets so as to close the slot 8 as far as possible and prevent loss of heat.

Abstract: 22,129. Merck, W., Merck, L., Merck, E. A., and Merck, C. E., [trading as Merck, E.]. Nov. 12, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. 4-Imino-2: 6-dioxypyrimidines are produced by condensing urea or alkyl ureas with cyanacetic esters by the aid of alkali amides and in the presence or absence of suitable diluents such as xylene. In an example, cyanacetic ethyl or methyl ester is poured in slowly to a cooled mixture of urea, sodium amide, and xylene. The mass is warmed to complete the reaction, water is added, and the xylene is removed. 4-Imino-2 :6-dioxypyrimidine is obtained from the aqueous solution by adding acetic acid or in any other suitable manner. Methyl-4-imino-2 : 6 - dioxypyrimidine is obtained similarly from methyl-urea.
