Title: Improved Apparatus for Generating Acetylene, and Utilising the same for Lighting and Heating Purposes.
Inventor: REITMEYER ROBERT
Filed: 1896-03-27
Granted: 1897-02-20
Abstract: 6719. Reitmeyer, R., [Cerckel, A.]. March 27. Acetylene lamps; velocipede lamps.-The generator A, fitted with a screw-down lid D, receives a number of perforated trays charged with calcium carbide, and is connected with a water tank B by a pipe C. A pipe G leads the gas produced to a valve H, and thence into the water in the holder J. In operation, water entering the generator by the pipe C lifts the ball valve c<2>, which floats upon the water and, coming into contact with the carbide, generates gas, which passes into the holder. As the holder rises, it strikes a lever I, which closes the valve H and stops the flow of gas, whereupon the gas drives the water out of the generator into the tank B, the valve c<2> preventing the gas from escaping by the same path. When the holder falls again, the gas passes into it, and the water again flows into contact with the carbide. The Provisional Specification states that this apparatus is applicable to table, carriage, velocipede, and other lamps.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Extraction of Sugar from Molasses by the use of Barium Compounds.
Inventor: STERNBERG LOTHAR
Filed: 1897-08-07
Granted: 1898-01-29
Abstract: 18,429. Sternberg, L. Aug. 7. Purifying saccharine liquids.-The waste or residual solution, obtained when a sugar solution is treated with excess of barium hydroxysulphide and the barium saccharate removed by filtering, is treated to recover the barium and sulphur in forms suitable for use in extracting sugar from molasses. Barium sulphite and sulphur are obtained by treating the residual solution with sulphurous acid ; or carbonic acid may be used instead of sulphurous acid. This process may be carried out by means of the apparatus shown in section in Fig. 1. The residual solution flows from a pipe I into the uppermost of a series of chambers M, and into the next below through a pipe J, and so on through the series until it passes along a pipe N into a cylinder A, provided with a stirrer F. Sulphurous-acid gas is led into the cylinder by a pipe B, and any excess of this gas escapes by a pipe O<1> into the space beneath a shield P, whence the gas passes through the liquid and is wholly or partially absorbed ; the residue passes in the same way into the space beneath the next shield above, and so on through the series ; the uppermost pipe 0 is connected to an exhausting-pump. The acid liquid in the cylinder A flows through an aperture E, and is mixed with barium carbonate so as to obtain barium sulphite and carbonic acid. The precipitated barium sulphite and sulphur are heated to obtain sulphurous acid for use in the process, and barium sulphate which is afterwards converted into barium sulphide.

Title: A New or Improved Apparatus for the Generation of Acetylene Gas.
Inventor: COULSON WILLIAM ALLEN
Filed: 1898-02-18
Granted: 1899-02-18
Abstract: 4129. Coulson, W. A., and Thiersant, H. de. Feb. 18. Acetylene. - The generator consists of a tank b within which the holder c can rise and fall. The carbide is supplied from a feeder e, which is divided into a number of separate compartments f, and is caused to travel across the holder in the guides g<1>, by means of the clockwork c, spindle 22, pinion 21, and rack 20. As each compartment f arrives over the tube i, its carbide contents are discharged down to the tube o, and thence down a shoot k to the bottom of a split tube j. The tank is filled with water up to the level m. Oil is passed into the tube o through an opening p so as to form an oil layer 3 on the top of the water. The carbide has to pass through this oil layer before reaching the water, and hence does not generate gas to any extent until it arrives at the bottom of the tubej. As the holder rises, a projection 4 comes in contact with a stop rod 25 geared to the spindle 22 by a spring pawl 24 and ratchet-wheel 23, the result being that the motion of the feeder e is stopped until the holder again falls and the stop rod is released. The gas escapes through a tube t, and passes through a filter v to the outlet u. A tube w, attached to the tube t, has a valve z which is operated by a catch piece a<1> on the holder, so that, should the latter rise to too great a height, the excess gas may escape through the tube w. Connected to the tube w above the valve is another tube, through which, and through a siphon n having oil therein, gas may escape from the tube o. Sight-plates 15, 16 are inserted in the walls of the tank and holder. Any oil collecting on the surface of the water in the tank may be drawn off through a tube 12 having a top 14. To discharge the lime, a shutter valve 7 may be closed over the tube 9, and a valve 11 opened. When it is desired to clear out all the water from the tank, the lower end of the tube o may be closed by a valve q operated by a rod r.

Abstract: 12,220. Jeantaud, C., and Rechniewski, W. C. May 31. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to means for starting, stopping, and reversing electrically-driven vehicles. The controlling-mechanism is shown in Fig. 2, in which F is an appliance for controlling the supply of current to the motor for starting, regulating the speed of, and reversing the vehicle, G is a device for throwing resistance into the circuit, for short-circuiting the motor, and for applying a brake to the motor or some intermediate shaft; while H is an appliance for breaking the circuit suddenly and for applying a safety brake to the wheels or axles of the vehicle. All three are mounted on a vertical shaft b, the cylinder a of the device F being keyed on it, while the moving portions of the other devices are loose and are operated by pedals. The cylinder a is composed of insulating-material and carries contact-pieces e' &c. arranged as shown in the developed plan in Fig. 4. These make contact with the brushes d, Fig. 2, numbered d<1>, d<2>, &c. in Fig. 4. By rotating the cylinder a by means of the lever c, the motor is driven in the required direction and at the desired speed, or it may be stopped altogether. The cylinder f is also of insulating-material, and carries contact-pieces h, g shown developed in Fig. 4. It is rotated by a pedal k acting as shown in Fig. 1, which pedal through a chain q also applies a brake to the motor or an intermediate shaft. The cylinder is returned after any movement by a spring under the control of a dash-pot p. The safety device H consists of a disc r of insulating- material carrying a piece t which normally completes the circuit through the points s<1>, s<3>. This disc is held by a pawl v, Fig. 1, which can be released by a pedal W. When this takes place the spring w rotates the disc to break the circuit through s<1>, s<2> and apply a brake to the wheels or axles through a chain X. Fig. 1 represents the various appliances F, G, and H diagrammatically, so as to show the devices by which they are locked except in particular positions of the adjoining ones. The cylinder a can only be rotated when the pawl L is withdrawn by a cam N on the cylinder f, and after the circuit has been broken by the rotation of the disc r, the latter can only be returned by the piece y engaging with the tappet z, which occurs when the full resistance is in circuit.
