Title: Improvements in or relating to vapour stoves and the like
IPC: F24C5/02
Filed: 1922-03-11
Abstract: 198,459. Eriksson, J. R. March 11, 1922. Vapour burners.-The burner of a vapour stove is initially heated by the flame from an asbestos ring 29 steeped in the liquid fuel and held around the burner nozzle 11 by a coil 23. A spindle 13 carrying a needle 14, preferably square-sectioned, for cleaning the nozzle 11 or controlling the vapour supply is operated by a valve spindle 17 threaded in a sleeve 16 in the dome of the fuel reservoir. In one end position of the valve spindle a cone 21 on the spindle engages with a valveseat in the sleeve 16. In the other end position a duct 20 in the sleeve is opposite to a passage 19 in the valve, and by operating the reservoir airpump, air may be forced through the fuel pipe sleeve 3 to the nozzle 11 to feed the flame from the asbestos ring 29. In the intermediate position, the clearing pin reaches its highest position. The threaded portion of the valve spindle may be of smaller diameter than the cylindrical portion, the parts being made separately and coupled after insertion into the sleeve. The filling aperture of the fuel reservoir is formed bv a short sleeve 24 projecting into a surrounding funnel 27 provided with a shield 28. In order to obtain sufficient fuel in the funnel for soaking the ring 29 the filling plug 25 is removed and the fuel reservoir is tilted. A dish 22 for starting the burner in the usual manner is arranged about the burner support.

Abstract: 235,957. Fryer, F. G., and Cohen, M. March 26, 1924. Confectionery or sweetmeats.-In the manufacture of chocolates, more particularly chocolatecoated goods, the chocolates are polished after they are sufficiently cool and set by brushes or other means which work in intersecting directions. In Fig. 1, the goods 9 are carried by a conveyer 8 beneath rotary brushes 5, 6, 7 the axes of which are arranged out of parallel to produce the intersecting polishing effect. The bearings of the brushes are carried by screwed rods 13, vertically adjustable in supporting strips 3, guide members 12 and coil springs 16 being provided. The brushes consists of sections 11 secured to the arms of a spider 10, the sections 11 being spaced to produce a discontinuous periphery whereby overheating of the confections is avoided. The hairs at the ends of the brushes are preferably outwardly splined. According to the Provisional Specification, oscillating, reciprocating, or reciprocating-revolving brushes may be used and the brushes may revolve in opposite directions ; further, the goods may be caused to adhere to the conveyer by applying a layer of hot chocolate, or other suitable adhesive, to their bases.

Abstract: 303,690. Edwards, W. R., and Edwards & Co., Ltd., R. March 13, 1928. Cells; gas exits.-A cell is provided with a chamber to receive the electrolyte when the cell is inverted and is so arranged that the opening of the gas vent is above, the electrolyte when the latter is in the chamber, and the electrodes are covered with electrolyte when the cell stands on either of two adjacent sides. The gas exit may comprise the construction described in Specification 233.528. Fig. 4 shows a cell in which the electrodes 12 remain covered with electrolyte when the cell stands on either of the sides 6, 7, the electrolyte being unable to escape through the vent 31 in any position of the cell. In order to keep the electrodes covered with electrolyte the cell is provided with a partition 18 which does not extend completely across the cell but which covers the full width of the electrodes which occupy only a portion of the cell as shown in the drawing. The remaining portion of the cell may be occupied by a block or an empty chamber 19. The gas exit comprises two chambers 20, 21 at right angles to one another and provided, as shown in Fig. 5, with baffles 22, 24, 25, 27, 29, 30. The chamber 21 communicates with the atmosphere through the vent 31. A baffle 28 may also be provided between the electrodes 12 and the chamber 20. If the cell is turned upside, down the electrolyte passes into a chamber 17 which is sufficiently large to prevent the level of the electrolyte reaching the entrance to the chamber 20. The chamber 21 may be situated towards either end of the chamber 20.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the treatment of materials containing tantalum and/or niobium
IPC: C22B34/24
Filed: 1937-03-19
Abstract: Materials containing tantalum and niobium or both are treated for the extraction of the metals, either as such or as alloys with a metal such as iron, by carrying out the reaction in two stages the first of which is effected without the application of external heat other than that required to start the reaction; the resulting slag comparatively rich in tantalum or niobium or both is then reduced in an electric furnace, a slag poor in the metals being obtained.  The reducing agents used may be any of the metals calcium, aluminium, and magnesium, and those used in the second stage may be alloys of any of the metals aluminium, calcium, and magnesium with tantalum or niobium or both.  The first stage may result in selective reduction of niobium relatively to tantalum, and the second stage in a tantaliferous product comparatively poor in niobium.  An example is described wherein the alloys obtained in the first and second stages contain niobium and tantalum in the ratios of 1,58 : 1 and 0,1 : 1 respectively, and contain also specified proportions of iron, aluminium, manganese, tin, titanium, carbon, and silicon. Specification 467,484 is referred to.

Title: An improved method for the protection of metal articles
Inventor: SAMUEL ROBERT LIONEL
IPC: C23C10/52
Filed: 1955-03-21
Abstract: Metal articles, particularly combustion equipment, are protected against attack by the combustion products of fuel by heating in physical contact with metallic Be together with either Al or Mg in metallic or compound form and with a solid halide which volatilizes under the heating conditions.  In an example test pieces of Ni or Ni alloy were packed in physical contact with a mixture containing 5% Be, 95% alumina, and a small addition of ammonium iodide in a sealed box, and heated for six hours at 1020 DEG C.  In a second example 25% Be, 75% magnesia, and ammonium iodide were used.  Any of the known heat resisting alloys may be treated, examples specified being (a) Cr 20.1%, Ti 2.24%, Al 0.37%, C 0.1%, Si 0.42%, Mn 0.18%, Fe 0.31%, Ni the remainder; (b) Cr 23.4%, Ni 12%, W 2.92%, C0.23%, Si 1.42%, Mn 0.56%, Fe the remainder; (c) Cr 18.7%, Ni 12.6%, Mo 2.25%, C0.32%, Si 0.91%, Mn 0.76%, Fe 3.2%, Co the rest.  The invention may also be applied to metallic oxides, carbides, nitrides, borides, silicides, bonded in a metal matrix e.g. of Ni, Co, or alloys thereof.  The Provisional Specification also discloses a series of Ni-base alloys containing between 0.5 and 5% Be which may be coated with Be if desired.  Specification 646,638 is referred to.

Abstract: 115,319. Painter, A. E., and Painter, W. June 11, 1917. Fixed - abutment type; working-fluid supply.-The rotor 2 of a rotary internalcombustion engine carries spring-pressed axially-sliding vanes 26, 25 which cooperate respectively with fixed abutments in compression and explosion chambers formed concentrically in the stator 1. The charge is drawn by the vane 26 into the semi-circular compression chamber through passages in the hollow shaft 15 and the rotor 2, and, after compression, is delivered through passages in the rotor to the outer explosion chamber 5, where, after ignition, it acts on the vane 25 and exhausts through a port in the periphery of the stator 1. Packing-rings 7 are provided as shown, and the rotor is allowed axial play by being feathered on the shaft 15 and pressed against the stator by a yielding spring device 33. A number of engine units may drive a common shaft, and two rotor members may co-operate with a single intermediate stator member.
