Title: An Improved Apparatus which may be Used for Vacuum and other Cleaning and for Disinfecting Purposes.
Inventor: CLAY SIDNEY JOHN
Filed: 1908-10-05
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 20,992. Clay, S. J., and Smith, J. T. Oct. 5. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Vacuum cleaning - apparatus. - Relates to a form of apparatus which is also adapted for cleaning or disinfecting by means of a jet or spray of water or other liquid. The apparatus consists generally of a rotary pump a, preferably of the well-known crescent-shaped chamber type, a combined centrifugal separator and filter b, a receptacle l containing a porous substance saturated with turpentine or other disinfectant, and a tank m containing a cleaning-fluid such as soap and water, the whole being mounted on a suitable carriage i. The dust-laden air from one or more suction nozzles enters the separator b through one or more tangentially-directed inlet pipes c, circulates in a downward direction in the annular space surrounding an inner tube d, and enters the tube d through holes d<2> near the base, where it may pass through a coarse filter comprising a bed of small coke, granulated cork, or sawdust carried by a perforated tray d<1>; it then passes inwards through a filtering-tube e of calico &c. secured to circular flanges f, one on each end, and retained in position by longitudinal wires f<1>. The purified air passes to the pump by way of a perforated tube g and union a. The separator is preferably formed with a detachable top b<3> and a conical bottom b<1> with a dust-discharge outlet b<2>. To enable the apparatus to be used at will for suction cleaning with or without disinfection of the dust-laden air, or disinfecting and cleaning by liquid sprays, the inlet pipe c is fitted with a valve box k providing passages k<1>, k<2>, k<3>, k<4> leading respectively to the tank m, the atmosphere, the delivery side of the pump, and the disinfectant receptacle. Multiple-way cocks c<2>, c<3> are provided at the junction of the passages and are operated to open the desired passages as will be readily understood. When cleaning by liquid sprays, the pump delivers air into the tank m, which displaces liquid through the delivery pipe m<2>, a flexible tube, and a suitable nozzle.
Patent GB-190822613-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Porous Ceramic Objects.
Filed: 1908-10-24
Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 22,613. Gr³nzweig & Hartmann Ges. May 9, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Pottery.-The temperature at which the burning of ceramic objects, made porous by mixing the mineral matter with combustible organic substances, is conducted is rendered constant by causing the heat generated by the combustion of the organic substances, as well as the heat applied to the kiln externally, to be absorbed after the temperature of reaction has been reached by means of an endothermic process, such as by passing through the kiln a current of carbon dioxide or water vapour, or of carbon dioxide and water vapour, with or without the admixture of atmospheric oxygen and indifferent gases such as nitrogen. The gases expel part of the organic substances by dry distillation, and, when a red beat is attained, the pure carbon left behind is burnt, carbon monoxide being formed in the case of carbon dioxide, and carbon-monoxide and hydrogen in the case of water vapour. The absorption of heat so caused is balanced by the heat supplied to the kiln, and, if necessary, by strongly preheating the carbon dioxide and water vapour, or by burning a part of the organic substance with the atmospheric oxygen, a constant temperature being thus maintained. The required gas may be obtained from the firing already at hand, or, in order to secure a mixture of constant composition, from separate gas producers, generators, or the like. The kiln is preferably constructed either as a ring or channel continuous kiln, and the issuing gases, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen may be burnt in air, the heat liberated thereby being used for drying the freshly-made goods or for heating a further section of the kiln.

Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 21,099. James, R. W., [Compagnie GÚnÚrale de Phonographes, Cinematographes, et Appareils de PrÚcision]. Sept. 15. Drying materials in long lengths.-Perforated kinematograph films from a continuous developing apparatus or after coating with emulsion are dried by being carried in a heated room bv suspenders fixed to an endless band. The film 8 is led over the feed cylinder 10 at such a speed that a loop of certain length is formed while the endless belt 1 passes through a distance equal to that between two suspenders 4. This is effected by the roller 11 which causes the points 6 of one suspender to engage the perforations in the film which continues to form a .loop until the points 6 of the next suspender come in contact with the roller 11. The unhooking apparatus consists of a guide roller 15 and a cylinder 14 rotated at the same speed as the cylinder 10, so that a loop is absorbed as the belt moves through the distance between two suspenders. Guide forks 7 are provided on the suspenders.
