Abstract: 1274. Strohmenger, A. P. Aug. 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Uniting by fusion.-In electric welding, an electrode covered with a suitable fusible insulating covering is laid along the whole length of the joint, the insulation being of such a thickness that the electrode is held at the right distance from the work. The work a, b is held in clamps, and the electrode d, covered with insulation e but with one end exposed, is laid along the joint to be welded; the current is started and the arc is struck between the electrode and the work, and slowly travels along the joint. The insulation, formed of asbestos smeared with sodium silicate, aluminium silicate, or the like, fuses and forms a flux. When welding an alloy, the composition of the welded metal is not the same as the original owing to the different losses of the constituents at the crater of the arc, and in these cases electrodes of an alloy having these constituents in excess to the amount required are used. In some cases two electrodes connected in parallel may be used at the joint.

Abstract: 17,223. Lampblack, Ltd., and Menzies, W. D. July 24. Carbon.-Lamp-black is obtained from smoke formed by the incomplete combustion of oil fuel due to a deficient air-supply, which smoke is passed through condensing chambers, to deposit the lamp-black. The partially burnt gases are then passed through apparatus which charges them with new fuel for fresh combustion. Creosote or other suitable oil fuel, and an insufficient supply of air for complete combustion, preferably under pressure, are fed to a number of spray-burners a and burnt in flues b. The products then pass through a chamber c against a spray from a pipe e of lime water, caustic soda, solution, &c. to absorb contained carbon dioxide. The products then pass in a zigzag path through condensing-chambers f, lamp-black being deposited in grades of increasing fineness and purity. The lamp-black may be withdrawn at suitable controlled outlets g at the bottoms of the chambers, which are preferably connected to conduits h leading to a suitable exhauster or vacuum chamber. In the last condensing- chamber f<1>, flannel or other suitable screens or filters i extract any lamp-black remaining, and the gases are forced into a regenerating-apparatus j by a blower &c. k. In this apparatus, the spent gases meet a spray of fresh oil l, preferably introduced under pressure, and the resultant mixture j<1> of the gases and oil is fed back to the burners a through a pipe p. Gases which do not mix with the oil escape through a perforated cone q at the top of the regenerating- apparatus j. The lower parts of the chambers f are provided with shutters s so that the bottoms may be shut off without interrupting the working. Suitable inspection or like doors t are also provided.

Abstract: 21,441. Noad, J. Sept. 20. Materials for making coke and other products. -A process for treating shale and other bituminous substances containing sulphur and obtaining desulphurized products of distillation, consists in crushing the shale, mixing a suitable liquid with the shale and adding slaked lime to the liquid-coated shale granules. The shale thus treated is gradually fed into a retort having a series of ledges, and the shale granules are worked down from ledge to ledge so that they are continuously agitated while being heated. The volatile constituents escape through the lime coating and are passed to condensers, the sulphur being arrested by the lime coating and being discharged together with the exhausted shale. The liquid employed may be water, sludge from distilled oil, or crude oil. The preferred construction of retort is described in Specification 18,334/09, [Class 55 (i), Coking &c.].
