Title: Improvements in Process for Solidifying Carbonic Acid and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: ELWORTHY ELLEN GERTRUDE
Filed: 1906-01-31
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 2450. Elworthy, E. G., [Administratrix of Elworthy, H. S.]. Jan. 31, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Solidifying carbonic acid. - Carbonic acid from any source, such as that obtained by the process described in Specification No. 25,007, A.D. 1897, or waste gas from fermentation or the manufacture of yeast, or gas from natural springs or wells, is recovered by a process of solidifying. The gas is liquefied by passage through a pipe or pipes enclosed in an outer pipe or pipes or chamber, through which latter there circulates cold air or other gas or cooled brine, spirit, or other liquid ; or the gas is first liquefied in the ordinary way and the liquid is cooled by passage through cooled pipes or by " self-intensive " cooling produced by evaporation. When a double pipe is used, a by-pass allows the escape of some liquid into the outer tube, where its evaporation cools the remainder. The liquid is then run into cooled moulds in which it is solidified. The moulds are made of slightly tapering form to allow of easy extraction of the solid. They are contained in an insulated chamber and are cooled by cold or liquefied air, ethylene, or other gas, or by immersion in alcohol cooled by coils through which the cold or liquefied air or gas flows, or by immersion in " carbonic acid snow " or a mixture of this snow and ether. The gas from the snow may be utilized for cooling the liquefied gas. The moulds may be double-walled, in which case the space between the walls receives the cooling-agent, which may be some of the liquefied carbonic acid or cold or liquefied air or gas. The air or gas used may be cooled by the self-intensive process, and the compressed air may do work in a motor, the air discharged from the motor circulating round and cooling the pipe containing the compressed air. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the gas is liquefied in the compressor A and passes through the water-cooled coil B into the tube D, which is surrounded by a wider tube C ; some of the liquid escapes by the by-pass E into the outer tube and travels back to the compressor by the pipe G ; the remaining liquid passes by the pipe J into the doubled-walled mould M. To cool the mould, liquefied ethylene from the compressor N passes through the water-cooled tube 0 and the pipes P, R into the space Q ; the ethylene after expansion passes by a tube to the outer tube X and thence back to the compressor by the pipe Y. The solidified carbonic acid is removed from the moulds by standing them in air or gently warming to melt the exterior of the blocks. Specification No. 7436, A.D. 1895, [Abridgment Class Acids, alkalies, &c.], is also referred to.

Title: Improvements in Methods of and Apparatus for Testing Gas.
Inventor: TERVET WILLIAM PEIRSON
Filed: 1906-07-02
Granted: 1907-05-02
Abstract: 15,013. Tervet, W. P. July 2. Photometers.-In order to ascertain the amount of carbon dioxide in coal-gas or water gas, the difference of pressure necessary to produce a flame of the same length, before and after freeing the gas to be tested from carbon dioxide, is measured, t h i difference of pressure being a function of the amount of carbon dioxide present. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus used. A tank A surrounds a bottomless tank B, and a hollow arch extending above these tanks is partitioned into two parts T, V, one part communicating with the tank A and the other with the tank B. A supply of water is put in the tanks, and the difference in the pressure in the chambers T, V is measured by the difference in the levels of the water in the two tanks. A float C in the tank B causes a pointer F to indicate this pressure on a scale K in the usual manner. Gas jets N, L are fitted to the chambers T, V and are provided with scales for measuring the lengths of the flames. A supply of the gas, freed from carbon dioxide, is supplied to the chambers under equal pressures by the pipes H, M, and the jets are regulated until the flames obtained are of equal heights. Then the gas in the chamber V is replaced by gas which has not been purified, and the pressure is regulated until the flames are again of the same height. The percentage of carbon dioxide is then indicated by the pointer F on an adjustable scale O.

Title: Improvements in Lifting Jacks especially applicable for use with Automobiles.
Inventor: BROWN JOHN
Filed: 1906-07-14
Granted: 1907-07-11
Abstract: 15,979. Brown, J. July 14. Lifting-jacks specially applicable for raising a u t omobiles have the load-engaging member frictionally supported on a sliding pillar, which telescopes in a base column and is supported in the raised position by entrapped liquid drawn into the casing by the movement of the pillar. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the load is supported by a saddle c connected to a sleeve b, which normally slides on the pillar a, but acts with the pivoted block b<1> to form a friction gripping-device when canted by the weight of the load. The pillar in this case is raised by rack-and-pinion mechanism operated by suitable ratchet mechanism on the end of the pinion shaft g<1>. As the pillar is raised, the plunger m at the lower end draws liquid from the outer casing or other suitable reservoir through the non- return valve o into the central tuba n to form an hydraulic support. To lower the pillar, the needle valve. p is opened. Fig. 1 shows a modified form of jack in which the pillar is raised by a suitable ratchet device comprising a lever g which is oscillated by means of the telescopic or other extension l, thereby moving the pivoted sleeve e at intervals into an inclined gripping position and afterwards raising it bodily with the pillar. In this case, the pivoted block on the load - supporting sleeve is omitted, the lower edge of the main block bearing against the pillar in the gripping position. In each case, the column is provided with a suitable cap containing air valves and, by preference, having rollers to facilitate the motion of the pillar ; also, the needle valve may be adapted to hold the tube n on its seating in the outer casing.

The supporting tube 6 of the receiver 7 is attached to the handles by a screw 36, and an insulating ring 37<1> is placed over the screw 36 and round the handle 1 and is widened out at 37<a> to allow for movement of the lever 23.
Patent GB-190622176-A (GB)
Title: A Process and Arrangement for Raising and Conveying Beer from Storage Vessels by the Direct Influence of Air Pressure of Variable Strength.
Inventor: ORTMANN JOHN HENRY WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-10-08
Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 22,176. Ortmann, J. H. W., and Herbst, C. W. C. Oct. 8. Direct air-pressure apparatus.-In an apparatus for raising beer, pressure-changing chambers a, a', Fig. 3, are provided with float-controlled valves g, which close pipes z leading to the rear of pistons i, Fig. 4. Assuming the apparatus to be in the state represented in Fig. 3, the float b has fallen down the rod c, and as soon as the beer in the chamber a<1> has reached a certain point the apparent weight of the float acting on a projection on the rod c is sufficient to draw the rod downwards. Connexion is then made between the chamber a' and the space behind the piston i through the pipe z. The piston is thrust forward until the air escapes at p, thus acting on the rod k and slide-valve m so that the outlet pipe o is put in connexion with the compressed-air pipe v. The connexion with the pipe n and the pipe v is similarly cut off. The pipe o is connected to the pipe q, so that the increased air pressure forces the beer out of the cylinder a into the outlet t, which leads to a glass vessel having a pressure gauge. As soon as the pressure in the chamber a<1> has been sufficiently reduced, beer flows in through the inlet d and in a short time lifts the float and closes the valve at g. In a modification, the slide valve is moved mechanically by the action of weighted floats, which press on rods connected to a tbree-armed lever which moves a crank, Fig. 6, connected to the slide valve 26. The floats are weighted so as to rise only when the beer has reached a certain level and only have a limited movement. Rods stretch upward from each float and are surmounted by an open-work casing which slides on a short tube. This casing surrounds a float, which can rise and fall in the casing and acts similarly to the valve g. The airoutlet tubes 10 are alternately connected to the outlet p so that any yeast formed does not return to the pressure-changing vessels. An adjustable throttle valve may be provided in the pipe leading to the outlet.

Abstract: 24,311. Bruyn, P. de. Oct. 31. Pressure gauges.-In variable immersion bell- and-float gauges, the liquid is divided into two separate bodies, one of which contains the float, while the other serves as a liquid seal. As shown in Fig. 3, the cylinder c forms the seal and carries upwards, as the pressure of gas entering by the pipe f increases, four floats d which are in a liquid chamber separated by the partition b from the liquid seal chamber ; with these floats moves a pencil for recording upon the drum k. A modification, Fig. 1, is adapted for measuring the difference of pressure between two gases entering by the pipes q, r, respectively; the float o is placed in the central chamber while the liquid in the outer chamber seals.
