Title: Improvements in Vessels for Pasteurising and Transporting Liquids.
IPC: C12H1/20
Filed: 1910-08-03
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 18,371. Wick³ler - K³pper - Brauerei Akt.-Ges. Aug. 3, 1909, [Convention date]. Sterilizing beer &c.-A vessel a for pasteurizing and transporting beer and other liquids is provided in its interior with a chamber, such as a ball g of india-rubber &c., independent of the inlet and of the walls of the vessel, and completely surrounded by the liquid. The chamber is filled with air, carbonic acid gas, &c. at a pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure but smaller than that of the liquid during pasteurization, so that the vessel may be completely filled, the compression of the chamber permitting expansion of the liquid owing to rise of temperature. During pasteurization, an additional external expansion chamber may be provided. The ball g is connected to the wall of the vessel by a cord &c., and may be removed after a closure plate b, provided with a cork f and a screw cap e, has been unscrewed. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also vessels in which an interior expansion chamber has rigid walls and a flexible wall in the form of a diaphragm or a movable wall in the form of a piston, the chamber being filled with a compressible medium or the movable wall being acted upon by a spring &c. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 18,650. Versen, B. Aug. 8. Rolling.-In a continuous rolling- mill of the type in which successive passes at right-angles to each other are arranged around a central shaft, the axes of the rolls b are placed at forty-five degrees to the shaft f and are driven at increasing speeds by toothed bevel-gears e, which are mounted in supports d. In a modification, for use at very high speeds, similar friction gearing is employed, the pinions being pressed by levers under spring action against the wheels. Between each pair of rolls, guides p, Fig. 6, are arranged, with ball-mounted wheels q to minimize friction. A number of such mills may be arranged together, suitable guides being provided to lead the work from one mill to another. The rolls may be of frusto-conical form to give the work a curvature corresponding with that of the guides.

Abstract: 28,927. Reid, W. March 22. Decanting and settling. - Apparatus principally intended for separating sediment from coal-washing water comprises tanks E<1>, E<2>, E3, Figs. 1 and 2, to which the liquid is admitted in turn through a spout D', so that settling takes place in one tank while a second is being filled and the third emptied. Each tank has two discharge valves, one G<2> at the side for clear liquid and the other G<1> for sludge. These valves are operated one after the other by a float H<2> in the preceding tank, the float lifting a cam track H<4> hinged to a rod H<3> and bring- ing it into engagement with a roller H<5> on a lever G<5> to which the valves are connected. The spout D<1> is supported by a rod J<1> hinged and pivoted on a central pillar and having at its end a pulley J<3>, which travels on a circular track J<4> made up of three sections each hinged at one end. When the tank to which the spout is delivering is filled, a projection K on the corresponding float rod H<3> engages a lever K' and thereby lifts one end of the track section on which the pulley J<3> is resting, so that the pulley rolls down the section, and the rod J<1> is rotated to bring the spout D<1> over the next tank.

Abstract: 12,740. Coanda, H. May 30, 1910, [Convention date]. Screw and like propellers.-Propulsion devices for movable bodies such as aeroplanes, ships, &c. comprise a propeller similar to a turbine which works between stationary sets of blade forming the inlet and outlet guides, whereby the fluid forced out propels the body by its reaction, The bell-mouthed inlet 1, is formed in the stationary casing, which also forms an annular chamber 2 for the movable blades. The base of the inlet is formed by a hollow body 3, to the upper part being secured a socket 4. When the hollow portion is supplied with exhaust gases, cooling- water, or like heating-medium, these are drawn through suitable openings into the bell-mouthed inlet. Below the inlet are the directing blades or boxes 6, which, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, are rectangular in cross-section, the inlet section being in a plane perpendicular to the axis, and the outlet section parallel to the axis of the movable blades. The movable blades or helical partitions are mounted on a disk 11, which is driven by suitable gearing 14. The diffuser 15 is formed by an extension of the main casing and serves to direct the fluid parallel with the axis, which is then ejected as jets by the blades 17 in the part 16. The bell mouth may be provided with a diaphragm having an adjustable opening or cross-section for varying the volume of fluid and speed of the vessel. A second similar propeller may be fitted for reversing.

Abstract: 18,802. Marks, E. C. R., [Middleton, F. L.]. Aug. 21. Reciprocating-cylinder pumps; regulating delivery by expansible chamber fitted to pump barrel; stroke, varying. -- Diesel engines are supplied with fuel by a pumping-device comprising a pump barrel 5, which moves over a stationary piston 6 and is forced downwards to charge it by a cam 11 acting through a lever 10, its delivery stroke being caused by the pressure of the air in the cylinder 2 when the cam releases the lever. As shown in Fig. 3, the stroke of the barrel is varied by adjusting the pivot 38 of the lever 10, the pump clearance being altered at every stroke by a plunger 19 connected to the lever 10 by a link 21. In a modification, the lever 10 turns on a stationary pivot, and the stroke of the pump is varied by adjusting by means of a cam or worm gearing the position of the stationary piston 6 which serves as a stop for the barrel 5.

Inventor: BALL FRANK HARVEY
IPC: F02M23/09
Filed: 1912-02-05
Granted: 1913-02-05
Abstract: 2931. Ball, F. H., and Ball, F. O. Feb. 5. Spray carburettors.-The invention relates to carburettors in which a long tapered adjustable plug is situated in the petrol passage so as to control the fuel by virtue of the friction set up between the fuel film and the walls of the annular passage, and consists in preventing pulsations of the air valve and also in facilitating atomization of the fuel by means of a " carrier " formed on the tapered plug. Fuel from the float-chamber 11 flows to the nozzle outlet 10 through the narrow passage 8 between the adjustable conical plug 7 and the casing 9. The plug, which is pressed upwards by a spring 16, is adjusted by rotating a nut 27, which displaces a shaft 25 carrying an arm 18. The plug 7 has a carrier 6 upon which fuel is deposited. The float 34 actuates the valve 37 through a lever 35 and ball-and-socket joint 41. Air is admitted to the mixing-chamber 1 through a narrow uncontrolled opening 58 and also through an opening controlled by a valve 64. This valve is loaded by a spring 70, the compression in which is adjusted by a lever 87 and spindle 73. Pulsations of the valve are prevented by a dash-pot piston 92 which fits the cylinder 91 loosely so that the pressure above the piston approximates to the average pressure in the mixing-chamber. Initial openings of the valve 'are regulated by an annular rib 65. The throttle valve 2 is so placed as to facilitate mixing.

Abstract: 26,896. Kendall, J. A. Nov. 22. Hydrogen.-Sodium or potassium chloride is heated with molybdenum or tungsten and steam, the product being hydrogen, hydrochloric acid, and a molybdate or tungstate which is then reduced by heating with carbon yielding carbon monoxide and sodium or potassium vapour while molybdenum or tungsten remains behind and is used again. In the first stage of the process, especially when using tungsten, some of the steam may be passed over the metal before the alkali chloride is admitted. In a modification, barium molybdate or tungstate is heated with carbon and the fused alkali chloride is run in. Alkali metal and carbon monoxide are evolved and a mixture of barium chloride with molybdenum or tungsten is left, and on heating with steam yields barium molybdate or tungstate with the evolution of hydrogen and hydrochloric acid. The retort, constructed wholly or mainly of nickel or cobalt, may be heated by a gas or oil furnace and is provided with inlet and outlet tubes, which, where exposed to the flame, should be of nickel or cobalt and with an opening for the admission of carbon which is closed by a nickel or cobalt stopper.
