Title: A Dry Process for Converting into Sulphates Magnesium, Nickel, Copper and the like in their Ores.
Filed: 1901-08-14
Granted: 1902-05-29
Abstract: 16,337. Abel, C. D., [Siemens & Halske Akt.- Ges.]. Aug. 14. Copper, magnesium, and nickel sulphates; sulphuric anhydride.-Ores containing magnesium, nickel, copper, and the like in addition to iron in the form of oxides, silicates, or carbonates, are treated with nascent sulphuric anhydride to obtain the former metals as sulphates. If the ore is in the form of sulphide, it is first roasted. The roasted or unroasted pulverized ore is heated to a temperature between 500‹ and 1000‹ C., and a heated mixture of sulphur dioxide and. air passed over it. The ore is continuously agitated during the process. If the ores contain several metals to be su'phated, the process is done fractionally, the temperature being first maintained below the decomposition temperature of the sulphate of one particular metal, but above the decomposition temperature of the sulphates of the remaining metals. After leaching out the sulphate formed with water, the temperature is again raised sufficiently for another sulphate to be similarly formed, and so on. The unabsorbed gases may be collected as sulphuric anhydride, or led into water to form sulphuric acid.

Granted: 1902-07-17
Abstract: 17,433. Booth, H. C. Aug. 30. Sacks and like bags.-Relates to apparatus for drawing a current of air through flour sacks &c. and afterwards separating the dust from the air. Fig. 1 shows a plan of the apparatus. The hollow implement 1 provided with a handle 2 is connected by flexible tubing with the first and second dustcollectors 3, 4, communicating with the suction pump 5 actuated by the motor 6 driven by the generator 7. The hollow implement 1, Fig. 2, to be passed over the carpet &c., is provided with an opening 10 regulated by an adjustable plate 11, and a valve 15 which is normally held closed by operating the iever 16<a>. In two modifications, the implement 1 is provided with a flat or a curved base, and the adjustable plate 11 is omitted, and in one case the valve is regulated by a flat spring. Fig. 8 shows a further modification. The adjustable entry 30 is covered by a flap valve 31. The dust which collects on the flexible porous material 32 is shaken down by depressing the spring-held rod 33. The first dust-collector 3, Fig. 10, is provided with a filtering-dome of cottonwool &c. 39 placed above the deflecting-cap 41 surmounting the inlet pipe 14. The inclined baffle-plates 42 prevent the rising of the dust which has fallen to the bottom of the casing. Iu modification, the casing is provided with a door at the bottom, and the dusty air is filtered through a calico dome supported on a spiral spring. The second-dust collector 4, Fig. 12, is partly filled with water. A perforated plate 43 and a reticulated partition 44 are placed above the inlet pipe 42, and the outgoing air has to pass round the baffles 48, 49, 50.

Granted: 1902-09-11
Abstract: 20,221. Johnson, A. Oct. 10. Lubricating cart wheels. A lubricant chamber a is inserted through an opening in the wheel nave and is screwed into the bush B. The opening at the bottom of the chamber is closed by a valve v, the stem t of which is guided in a bridge-piece d. The upper end of the chamber is closed by a screwed cap e, which encloses a push piece f for opening the valve. Normally, the valve is closed by means of a spring s abutting against the bottom of the chamber and a collar on the stem t. The face of a collar h on the piece f is provided with a leather washer, which is forced against the cap e to prevent leakage, by means of a spring s<1> located between the collar h and a bridge-piece screwed into the cap. In a modification, the opening at the bottom of the chamber is closed by a spring- controlled valve, the stem of which is provided with a knob which is pulled to open the valve. According to the Provisional Specification, instead of the valve a piston or plunger, working in a cylinder, is employed to force lubricant through the nozzle.

The steam is led to the end chamber e by the central tube g, and the superheated steam passes away at i. A valve or damper is fitted at h. Figs. 4 and 6 show two methods of applying the invention to an internally-flued boiler. In these cases, the casing b has connections m, Fig. 4, with the furnace flues, behind the fire bridges, or openings n, Fig. 6, into the external flue. Dampers are provided as shown at r, Fig. 4, and s, Fig. 6.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Automatically Grinding Knife-blades
Inventor: GONON ANTOINE
Filed: 1901-11-20
Granted: 1902-10-09
Abstract: 23,565. Gonon, A. Nov. 20. Surfacing a n d polishing r o u g h knife blades. The blade 23 is held and pressed down by the block 14 against the flat surface of the grindstone 6 carried by the rot a t i n g vertical spindle 4. The block 14 is fixed to a rock -shaft 17 mounted on a slide 10. A weight on the end of a horizontal lever fixed to the shaft 17 urges the block 14 downwards until an abutment 19 bears against a guide 20 carried by the fixed frame 9. The abutment is carried by an arm 18 fixed to the block 14. The slide 10 is moved horizontally along the frame 9 by means of a constantly-rotating screw 13, which engages with a half-nut 11 projecting through the slide 10. The half-nut is fixed to a lever 12 by the operation of which the feed of the slide 10 can be started or stopped. As the knife blade moves radially across the grindstone from the centre outwards, the abutment 19 moves over the guide 20, so that, by suitably shaping this guide, a suitably-curved and tapering face and a suitably-shaped edge may be given to the knife. In a modification, the blade is pressed up against the under face of the grindstone, the block 14 being formed as an electromagnet to hold the blade better.

The latter, in the example shown, are attached to the support A<3>, instead of directly to the rear axles. A similar construction may be adapted in respect to the front axle, as in the modification shown in Fig. 5. The oblique members A<2> are attached to the support A<8>, which is pivoted to the axle A<1> and guided thereon by slotted guides a'.

Granted: 1903-08-06
Abstract: 20,408. Graepel, H. Sept. 18. Sifting grain.-Relates to sieves for use in separating grain from chaff, cavings, and the like. The sieve is made from a metal plate, in which cuts of various forms are made, and the metal at one side of the cut is raised while that at the other side may, if desired, be depressed. Tho raised portion tends to propel the chaff and the like forwards towards the tail end of the sieve. The depressed portions allow the heavier grain to roll downwards towards the openings formed. The Figures show various forms described. In each case, b represents the cut or opening, a the raised portions, and d the depressed portions of the sieve surface.

Granted: 1903-06-04
Abstract: 21,174. Lindmark, T. G. E. Sept. 29. Steam &c. turbines.-Relates to multiple-expansion steam or gas turbines of the impact-wheel type, and consists in passing the exhaust fluid from each wheel through a passage, which is so shaped that the kinetic energy of the fluid is transformed into potential energy before the fluid impinges on the next wheel. In the form shown in Fig. 3, a number of vane-wheels I having central inlets L are arranged in a casing B divided into compart. ments V. The vanes o' of the wheels are narrowest at their outlet ends, and open towards oppositelytapering passages C in which the velocity of the exhaust fluid decreases and its pressure increases before it passes to the next wheel, and so on in turn. The invention may be applied to turbines having a parallel flow, or having both parallel and outward flow wheels, or to a wheel having sectorial flow as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The inlet A opens into a chamber 27, and the steam passes repeatedly through the vane-wheel 1, being returned to the central inlet L after each expansion by guidechannels 19, 20 and sector-shaped compartments 9, 10. The vanes 2 are L-shaped, and extend into the compartments and into the hollow wheel.
