Abstract: 17,477. Lake, W. E., [Standard Varnish Works]. July 27. Coating-machines; coating, work-holders for. -An apparatus for coating articles, such as the parts of a piano, by dipping, comprises a tank 1, a counter-balanced holder 35 for the articles, and an hydraulic jack 4 for raising and lowering the holder. The piston-rod 6 of the jack carries a swinging bracket consisting of a tubular sleeve surrounding the rod and an horizontal arm 20 with supporting-straps 21. A vertical post 22 is fitted with a sleeve 26 attached to a sleeve 27 surrounding the sleeve of the bracket, and assists in the support of the bracket. The holder 35 is carried by a carriage 34 movable along the arm 20, and adapted to be held in position over the tank by a spring bolt 44 on the arm 20 engaging a strap 43 on the holder. A bolt 31, normally withdrawn by a spring 33, is pressed by a pin 64 on the carriage into a socket in the sleeve 27 when the holder is in position over the tank to prevent horizontal movement of the holder during the dipping. The holder 35 is supported from the carriage 34 by a pin 42, Fig. 6, taking into one of a series of holes 40. A spring latch 46 engages the holder and prevents movement due to flotation during the dipping. The latch is disengaged by a pin 52 when the carriage 34 is moved. The articles to be dipped are held in the holder 35 by clamps 55, Fig. 1, and loop frames 56 fitted with spring-pressed fingers 59. In a modification, a bracket having horizontal arms at each side of the jack, and supporting two article holders, is used.

Abstract: 30,313. Cecil, R. E., and Wassell, C. R. Dec. 28. Direct steam-pressure apparatus, automatic. Comprises an. improved form of steam and vacuum apparatus for raising water and other liquids, of the kind in which a vacuum is created within a chamber by the condensation of steam supplied from a small generator fed after each lift or operation with a predetermined quantity of water from the main chamber. Fig. 1 shows one form of apparatus in which water supplied through an intake 8, 9 to a chamber 7 is discharged by means of steam supplied through the jacketed pipe 15, 16 from the generator 12 having a ribbed or similar bottom 13. A predetermined quantity of water is supplied to the generator, through a jacketed siphon pipe 22, 23, 24 from the reservoir 19, which has a port 20 automatically closed, as the water runs in the vessel 7, by the valve 25 and float 28. The pipe 9 is covered by an inverted cup 11 which serves as a cold surface for condensing the steam. A condensing-jet may be used in place of this cup; and the valve and float 25, 28 may be dispensed with by making the port 20 very small. Water may also be supplied to the generator by a float-actuated tipping-bucket placed within the vessel and, hinged to a funnel at the top of the pipe 23.

Title: A Process for Separating Carbonic Acid from Gaseous Mixtures containing same.
Inventor: BEHRENS ERNST AUGUST
IPC: B01D5/00
Filed: 1910-05-31
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 13,187. Behrens, E. A., and Behrens, J. G. May 31. Separating gaseous mixtures by liquefaction. -A process for separating carbonic acid from gaseous mixtures consists in first cooling the compressed mixture so as to liquefy a portion of the carbonic acid, then bringing the mixture into contact with an absorption liquid such as alcohol, to which it gives up the residue of the carbonic acid, separating this residue by reducing the pressure on the liquid, and returning it to the compressor so as to enrich a further supply of the gaseous mixture, which undergoes partial liquefaction as before. The gaseous mixture passes through a preliminary compressor a, then through a compressor (not shown) which raises the pressure to a predetermined amount, and is then cooled in a condenser coil c surrounded by alcohol at 65‹ C., whereby liquid carbonic acid may be withdrawn from a separating-chamber e. The cooled compressed gases then pass by way of a non-return valve f and float chamber g into an absorption chamber containing alcohol and fitted with a long helical baffle, then through a baffle-chamber m for preventing alcohol from passing forward with the gases to a turbine n, which assists in driving the compressor a. The expanded gases are then passed through a coil in the alcohol cooling-jacket surrounding the absorption chamber. The cold furnished by the expanded gases is augmented by arranging the pipes p of an ammonia refrigerating-machine g within the cooling-jacket. The absorption alcohol containing the carbonic acid passes through the float chamber g and throttle valve s below a perforated partition u in the chamber t, where the pressure is reduced, and from which the carbonic acid is drawn into the compressor a. The absorption alcohol is circulated by a pump v, and the cooling-alcohol by a pump r. Specifications 7281/95, [Class 1, Acids, alkalies, &c.]. 8374/95, 11,902/06, and the United States Specification No. 586,523 are referred to.

Abstract: 14,987. Allen, C. S. June 22. Cranks arranged to serve as foot-rests on freewheeling.-Relates to crank axles of the kind that are divided so that, when the rider is freewheeling, both cranks can be held down at their lowest point, and consists in forming the axle in two parts comprising respectively an internally-threaded sleeve part 2, Fig. 1, and an externally-threaded stud part 1 engaging together and having plane abutting faces 2<a>, 3<a>. The two parts may be dowelled together and provided with undercut projecting shoulders 8<a>, 9<a>, Fig. 5, which engage and limit the relative positions of the parts. In a modification of this form, a loose intermediate shouldered collar 13, Fig. 8, is employed; this construction permits of stronger shoulder-pieces 8<a>, 9<a>. A hole 11 is drilled through one of the parts into the dowel 10<a> and, in the event of the shoulders breaking, a screwed pin is inserted so as to hold the two parts of the axle together. In all the forms, a spiral spring 7 serves to restore the cranks to the driving position.

Abstract: 15,956. Hill, H. J. July 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Transferring articles to or from trains in motion.-Mail-bags are delivered from a moving train by being connected to a ring 14 which is lifted out of a support 17 by a receiver 28 on the track. The support, Fig. 2, comprises a fixed channel groove 15 mounted on a swinging frame 13 pivoted to the car side, and a pivoted groove 17 which normally occupies the position shown in full lines, Fig. 2, due to its weight and the spring 21. The weight of the mail-bag acting on the tongue 19 maintains the support closed. The receiver 28, Fig. 9, enters the ring 14 and raises it from the support 17, which therefore opens. The ring rises over the highest point of the receiver and falls down on to the part 30, which is provided with a buffer 32.
