Title: Improvements in Ammonia Purifiers for Refrigerating Plants.
Inventor: WAGNER LAWRENCE
IPC: F25B43/00
Filed: 1910-04-08
Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 8567. Wagner, L. April 8. Drying gases.-An ammonia purifier for refrigerating-plant consists of two or more drums 10, 11 fitted with water conduits 17, 18. The drums are connected together so that the ammonia, oil, and water vapour from the compressor enter the drum 10 by the inlet 14 and flow through the pipes 15 to the drum 11, passing thence by the outlet 16 to the condenser. The cooling-water flows through the conduits 17, 18 in the opposite direction, entering by the inlet 19 and leaving by the outlet 22. The bottom of the drum 11 may be at a higher level than the bottom of the other drum, so that the condensate from the drum 11 may flow through the pipe 12 to the drum 10 and be drawn off by the pipe 24.

Abstract: 9426. Hipkins, W. E., and Parnall, T. St. J. B. April 19: Automatic - f e e d weighers.-Relates to a locking-bar or lever for preventing the feed-gate of the supply - hopper and the discharge-gate of the weighing-receptacle from being open at the same time. The invention is described in connexion with the weighing-machine described in Specification 4414/02. The feed-gate j, Fig: 3, is closed at equilibrium by means described in the above-mentioned Specification, and in consequence thereof rocks a " knock-off " lever g. One end of the lever g is situated beneath an arm d<1> of the locking-lever d which forms the subject of the invention, and during the cut-off the locking-lever d is rocked by the " knock-off " lever g so as to open the discharge gate e by means of a link d<3>. The parts then assume the position shown in Fig. 4, and a camsurface d<2> on the locking-lever prevents the return of the knock-off lever g (which return would result in the opening of the feed-gate) until a weight e<1> has returned the discharge gate e to the closed position shown in Fig: 3. In Fig. 7 is shown a modified construction of the locking-lever.

Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 19,223. Anschutz & Co. May 28, [Convention date]. Course - recording apparatus.-Comprises apparatus in which the distance travelled b y the ship is determined by the revolutions of the propeller or log, and the course is indicated by a compass transmission device, and is resolved by means of a spherical surface into two components at right-angles. A sphere 1 is mounted on a spindle 2 driven from the propeller shaft 11, and has two wheels 4, 5 in contact with its surface, arranged on arms at right-angles to each other. The arms 8, 9 are rotated by the spindle 10, which is moved from the compass 24. The rotation of the wheels 4, 5 is transmitted electrically to the tracer 41 by means of the motors 33, 34 respectively, the motor 33 being mounted on the carriage carrying the spindle 36 and moved transversely by the motor 34. The curve drawn by the tracer gives an exact representation of the movement of the ship. In a modification, the sphere may be operated from the compass, the wheel arms 8, 9 remaining stationary.

Abstract: 24,185. Wertenbruch, F., and Wertenbruch, F. Oct. 19 Screw and like conveyers; temperature, controlling.-Materials to be dried are fed to a machine of the type described in Specification 3092/01 by means of an interrupted screw-conveyer working in a steam-heated trough. Improvements in the construction of the conveying and agitating blades and in the heating arrangements are also described. The material is dried in a trough 1 formed of hollow sections 7 connected above and below by pipes 10, 11, the connexions being on opposite sides of the trough alternately. The trough 1 is contained in a casing 14<a>, above and on one side of which is a feed-trough 12 containing an interrupted screw-conveyer 72. The trough 12 is formed of hollow sections 17, connected on opposite sides alternately. The material is agitated in the trough 1 by blades 44, 45, 46 mounted on steampipes 20 carried on rotary hollow disks 22, 23. The blades 44 at the feed-end of the trough are freed from material adhering to them by rotary blades 51 shaped so as to throw the material towards the delivery end of the trough. The blades 45 in the middle of the trough are furnished with an inclined side, and the blades 46 at the delivery end with two inclined sides. Among the blades 46 are other similar blades mounted on channel-irons 49. Steam enters the disk 23 after passing through a nest of small tubes 34, and then passes by the tubes 20 to the disk 22. The condensed water in the disk 22 is lifted by troughs 30 to a pipe 31, and passes with the steam to the hollow sections 7 in the trough 1, then to radiators 15 in the bottom of the casing 14<a>, and finally to the hollow section 17 of the trough 12. Vapour from the material being dried passes to a chimney 57 with sloping sides 56. Moisture condensing in the chimney 57 falls on to a tray 61, and that on the sides 56 flows to a trough 60. A modification is described in which the blades 44, 45, 46 are carried on separate bars secured to the tubes 20, which in this case are of steel, by straps.

Turpentine and rubber are mixed together in a cold state until the turpentine is absorbed, and a substance such as chloride of lime is incorporated by calendering. This mass is sprinkled with cold water and calendered until permeated, and then treated with water at about 100‹ C. until the product becomes sufficiently hard. Sulphur may also be added before the water treatment. The chlorine may also be used in the form of gas or in solution. The product is treated with alkali to remove excess of sulphur, and is thoroughly washed and dried.

Abstract: 28,320. Doran, J. A. Dec. 16. Gravity, measuring force of.-An apparatus for measuring small intervals of time, such as the time taken for a body to fall through a known height, comprises a disk suspended by a wire, means being provided for clamping the disk with the wire in a state of torsion, releasing the disk so that it turns through a fraction of an oscillation during the interval to be measured, and clamping it again at the end of the interval. By noting the angle through which the disk turns, the time-interval can be calculated from the known time of a complete oscillation. In the arrangement illustrated, a weight 9, resting on a pivoted member 12, is shaped to engage in a hole in the underside of the disk 1, so as to hold the disk with the suspending-wire 2 twisted. When a collar 14 mounted on an upright 13 is turned, the piece 12 is unsupported, and the weight drops, at the same time freeing the disk 1. The weight falls into a box 21, and thereby moves two levers 17, provided with pins 20 adapted to arrest the disk by engaging in a rubber or like ring surrounding its edge. The angular movement of the disk is measured by a vernier or the like. A modification is described, in which electrical means for clamping, releasing, and stopping the oscillating disk are provided.
