Title: A Process for Manufacturing Filter Carbon.
IPC: B01J20/20
Filed: 1910-10-26
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 24,905. Richter & Richter. Nov. 29, 1909, [Convention date]. Carbon.-Filter carbon is made by mixing the ashes of coal, preferably of brown coal, with carbonaceous material and subjecting the mixture to dry distillation. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the following process: Filter carbon permeated with organic waste matters is burnt, and the ashes produced are added in the manufacture of fresh filter carbon. The ashes are added to finely-divided substances rich in carbon, which are then subjected to dry distillation. The sequence of operations, namely, addition, distillation, permeation, and burning, is repeated say five times, until sufficient phosphates and lime have accumulated in the ashes to make them useful as manure. When coal, particularly brown coal, is used as the carbonaceous material, more and more of the clay material originally present in the coal gets into the filter carbon. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 8090. Turner, A., and Robinson, T. March 31. Bodies, planking.-In a machine for planking felt-hat bodies in which one member oscillates in the arc of a circle over a fixed member, one of the members is fitted with an elastic bag, and the other is made hollow, and is steam-heated. A wooden frame a' supports a driving-shaft b, having fast and loose pulleys, and a shaft e<1>, on which is fixed the segmental planking-member f<1>. Underneath is the stationary member h<1>, having pins i at its four corners projecting through blocks n mounted in slides n<1>; the front pair of slides are curved, or may be dispensed with. The member h<1> is pressed upwards by counterweights m, but may be drawn down for insertion or removal of the hat bodies by a treadle w and chain. The member f is oscillated by an eccentric c on the shaft b, which operates through an arm f<4> fixed on the shaft e<1> or member f<1>. Upon the member f<1> is formed a floor by a series of lags, and below this floor is placed a rubber bag o, adapted to be inflated by a nozzle projecting through. the lags, and protected by a thick rubber sheet o<1>, preferably perforated or corrugated; or the sheet may consist of parallel strips thicker at the middle than at the edges.

Title: Improved Machine for Routing and other Wood-working Operations.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: B27M3/12
Filed: 1911-04-20
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 9625. Lake, W. E., [Kelley Electric Machine Co.]. April 20. Disk and wheel apparatus.-Relates to woodworking machines of the type disclosed in Specification 1851/08, [Class 145, Wood &c.], for operations such as routing, carving, surfacing, &c. Fig. 7 shows the machine fitted with a sanding-disk S, but other tools may be fitted according to the operation to be performed. A casing consisting of a base or skirt A, a body B, and a head secured together by bolts, encloses the electric or other motor, the armature shaft being centrally mounted in a bush in the head and a ball bearing e<1> in the base A, and extending downwards to drive the sanding-disk. The base A is provided with hand-grips a<3>, by which the casing is moved over the surface of the work. The armature shaft is fitted with a fly-wheel P having its spokes shaped to draw in air to cool the motor and blow away the shavings. The air enters the motor casing through apertures in a cap secured over the head by a nut, and passes out through apertures in the top of the base A. A brake device Q may be pressed into engagement with the fly-wheel P against the resistance of a spring q<1>, and the fly-wheel may be provided with a hole q<2> in order that it may be locked in position by means of a tool inserted through a hole q<3> in the top of the base A. The sanding-disk S is splined to a shaft s screwed on the lower end of the armature shaft, and may be lowered into contact by the work by means of a lever T pivoted to a support s<1> screwed into a threaded flange l depending from the top a<1> of the base or skirt A. The lever T is connected to the sanding-disk by trunnions engaging a thrust bearing, and is operated by hand against the resistance of a spring t<3>. The top of the base A is split radially on one side through the flange l, and the split parts are clamped together so as to hold firmly the support s<1> and the outer race ring of the ball-bearing e<1> by a screw l<1>. Lubrication of the working parts is effected through a central boring in the armature shaft communicating by means of ducts r<1> with the bearings.

Abstract: 9647. Fagerlund, E. A. April 24, 1911, [Convention date]. Electro-magnetic interrupters, used as automatically-operating time switches for controlling lamps in illuminated advertisements, comprise a solenoid b in series with the controlled circuit and a core a fitted with a valve e moving in a tube of liquid which retards the down-stroke but not the up-stroke. The core is independently magnetized by a winding f, or by permanent magnetism, so that in its lower position it attracts a pivoted spring-retracted armature h and closes the circuit at contacts r, k. The energized solenoid b then lifts the core out of range of the armature h, and the circuit is broken by the spring, the process being repeated automatically. The valve e may be omitted.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Hydraulic Lift Mechanism.
Inventor: CAREY ROBERT FALKLAND
IPC: B66B1/04
Filed: 1912-08-09
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 18,358. Carey, R. F. Aug. 9. Fluid - pressure apparatus. - Comprises the combination of two fluid-pressure motors having a number of cylinders of any known variablecapacity type with the driving pulley or drum of a lift, crane, or the like and means for controlling the motors and braking the drum. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2; the motors 1, 2 are connected direct with the driving-pulley 3 from which the cage and weights of the lift are suspended, the cage being overbalanced. A hydraulically operated brake block 6 is provided controlled by a pilot valve in a casing 7, which valve also controls a stop valve 9 so that when pressure is admitted to the system the brake is taken off. The brake and cut-off valve mav be operated electrically or mechanically if desired. From the valve 9 pipes 11, 12 are run to valve boxes 13, 14 which supply fluid to the motors through ports 15, 16 and then through valves 17, 18 to work the engine, the exhaust taking place through pipes 19, 20. The casing 7 is also connected by pipes to the cylinders 21, 22 the piston-rods of which operate the valves 17, 18 through rack and pinion gear. The cylinders 21, 22 are connected, on the other side of the piston, by pipes to the main. The valve 7 may be operated by a foot-lever in the cage connected to a cord running over pulleys in the well, which cord actuates the pilot valve. In the present case the valve rod 30<a> is connected bv an arm 32 to a shaft 33 which is connected by a lever 34 to the control rope. The pilot valve 29<a>, Fig. 8, is of the D-type and controls ports leading to the pipes 35, 36, 37, 38, as shown in Fig. 11. The entrance 8 is connected to the main, and the port 38 to the exhaust, while the ports 35, 36 are connected to the cylinders controlling the valves 17, 18, the port 37 being connected to the valve 9 by a pipe 41, a branch pipe 42 leading to the brake cylinder 54. On the shaft 33 are fixed cranks 47, 48 at right-angles, which cranks are connected by links 49, 50 to bell-cranks pivoted on the engine casing and actuating the rods 61 which operate loose one - way valves in the casings 13, 14. The valve casing has an inlet on either side for convenience in gearing, the one not in use being closed by a cap. The two motors are set at the stop position to oppose one another, preferably at full capacity. In this position they neutralize each other, and upon opening the control valve various speeds may be obtained. One motor may be brought to the no work ' position and the capacity of the set is then that of the other motor. The full capacity of the set is attained when one motor is reversed and both work together in the same direction at full capacity. A modification shows the drum driven from the motors through spur gearing. Specification 19,519/11, [Class 69 (i), Hydraulic presses &c.], is referred to.
