Patent GB-187103269-A (GB)
IPC: C13B10/06
Filed: 1871-12-04
Granted: 1871-12-04
Abstract: 3269. Stewart, D. Dec. 4. Sugar-cane mills.-The rolls of a mill are sup- ported by hydraulic rams, so arranged, that should the pressure become excessive, escape valves are opened to release the water and thereby relieve the pressure. Fig. 2 shows one arrangement of the mill. The top roll 5 is carried in ordinary bearings. The lower rolls 4 and 6 are pressed upwards by brasses 10, fitted so as to be capable of a little movement in guide openings in the housings, which openings are closed by plates 11. The brasses 10 are pressed upwards by rams 12 working in cylinders 13, supplied with water or other suitable liquid under pressure. Hydraulic accumulators may be employed for maintaining the required pressure, which may be varied as desired, and may be different for the two sides of the mill. The invention is also described as applied to the existing mill of ordinary type, the hydraulic rams being adapted to press the brasses in hori- zontal guides formed in the housings. In a modifi- cation the hydraulic cylinders are secured to the base-plate, and pressure is transmitted to the brasses through levers and rods.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Bottles, Jars, and similar Vessels.
Inventor: SAUNDERS DAVID ROBERT

Granted: 1897-05-08
Abstract: 2334. Saunders, D. R., and Smith, H. F. .Tan. 28. Stoppers; refilling, preventing.-Relates to stoppering bottles, jars, jugs, &c. so that they cannot be re-filled after having been once emptied. The neck is formed with a seat 7 for the cork &c. valve 19, which is normally held on the seat by two heavy balls 20 21. An internal flange 10 on the neck aids in protecting the valve from being tampered with by means of a wire &c. Above the ball 21, a plug 13 is inserted, this plug being locked in position by a spring ring 15, which engages in annular recesses in the neck and plug. The plug has a central passage 18, and is formed with radial projections 17 which prevent the ball 21 from closing the passage. When the vessel is inverted, the balls are displaced and allow the contents to flow out, but when the vessel is returned to the upright position, the valve 19 is closed by the balls 20, 21 and prevents the re-introduction of liquid. The valve 19 also acts as a float-valve to prevent liquid being forced in when the vessel is inverted. In a modification, the plug 13 is made of metal and is faced with cork, the central passage being adapted to be closed by a plug or stopper.

Abstract: 9 5 2 5. Milner, W., and Wilson, W. April 14. Speed indicators. -The fan b, which can be rotated in either direction by a belt pulley, draws in air through apertures a<5> in projecting bearing-blocks and directs the same up the narrowing passage c to the annular chamber d. The end of this chamber has an air outlet d<2> and a partition d<3> separates the inlet and outlet.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machinery or Apparatus for Treating Myrobolams for Obtaining Extracts therefrom.
Inventor: SMITHSON SAM
Filed: 1897-05-19
Granted: 1897-06-19
Abstract: 12,399. Smithson, S. May 19. Extracts.-Relates to apparatus for obtaining extracts for dyeing, or for other purposes, from myrobalans or similar hard gummy materials. Figs. 1 and 2 show longitudinal and end elevations of one form of the apparatus. The myrobalans, together with water, are charged into a tank A, provided with dished ends B connected by bolts C, and with a manhole K closed by a lid L. The tank rests on two sets of flanged wheels D, D<1> on shafts E, E' ; one shaft E is driven by worm and wheel gearing, as shown, to give the tank a rotary motion. Blades M on the interior surface of the tank are thus caused to raise the myrobalans until they fall into the space between the bolts C, where they are crushed between pistons U and stationary plates V ; the piston-rod 0 is connected to a slide P which is reciprocated by a connecting-rod T. In another form of apparatus, the tank is fixed and the crushing-apparatus is dispensed with ; the myrobalans rest on a perforated false bottom, and the water is heated by steam pipes.

Granted: 1897-08-07
Abstract: 12,827. Jeanty, V. Nov. 19, A.D. 1896, [date claimed under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Primary and secondary batteries.-Fig. 1 is a perspective view, and Fig. 4 a vertical cross-section, showing the arrangement of a primary battery. The insoluble electrodes of copper &c. consist of rods a, a<1>, a<2> contained in long narrow troughs c, c<1>, c<2> of rubber, glass, or other impervious material. The rods are connected at one end to a conductor A. The troughs c are mounted in a containing- vessel R, in which are also mounted the zinc electrodes b, b<1>, b<2> in the form of long laminµ suitably mounted and connected to the conductor B. The acidulated water serving as electrolyte is fed to the trough C, flows through holes x into the troughs c, c<1>, c<2>, and thence overflows into the vessel R. In the trough C is a false bottom f on which are placed crystals of copper sulphate, which are dissolved by the acidulated water to form a depolarizing-liquid which, by its gravity, remains in the troughs c, c<1>, c<2>. The denser portions of the electrolyte in the vessel R flow under the partition r and are drawn off by tubes or through an overflow t. When the apparatus is applied to secondary batteries, the trough C is dispensed with and electrodes of opposite polarity are placed in adjacent troughs c, c<1>, c<2>, &c., whereby liquid or pasty materials, such as mercury and amalgams, can be used as electrodes. In another form of secondary battery, in each trough c, c<1>, c<2> is placed a rod of lead with points or teeth on it, and the rest of the trough is filled up with lead peroxide. The other electrodes consist of plates or wires of zinc placed in the vessel R between the troughs c, c<1>, c<2>.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Metallic Chlorides such as those produced from Sulphide Ores.
Inventor: TURNER ERNEST FREDERICK
Filed: 1897-07-29
Granted: 1897-09-25
Abstract: 17,834. Turner, E. F. July 29. Hydrochloric acid; iron oxides; manganese oxides; zinc oxide.-Relates to the treatment of sulphide ores, especially those containing silver and zinc, and, to a less extent, lead, iron, manganese, and gold ; and consists of improvements in the process described in Specification No. 15,749, A.D. 1896. The chlorides formed in that process from the ores are fused, and while in that state are fractionally electrolysed to obtain metallic silver, gold, and lead. The residual mass, consisting of zinc, iron, and manganese chlorides, and some gangue, is put into a retort and heated under reduced pressure, caused by a steam jet at the outlet. Zinc chloride is volatilized, unites with the steam, and forms zinc oxide and hydrochloric-acid gas. The latter is passed to a condenser for re-use in an early stage of the above - mentioned process. The manganese and iron chlorides left are then treated either in revolving calciners with a current of steam, or in vertical cylinders with a mixture of sulphurous acid and steam. In each case hydrochloric-acid gas is evolved, and is led to condensers, and in the former case manganese and iron oxides are formed.

Abstract: 2641. Hildick, R. Feb. 2. Wheels with air-compressing appliances.-Relates to means for inflating the tyres of bicycles, tricycles, motor cars, and other vehicles. Fig. 1 shows the invention as applied to a bicycle front wheel. An air pump A, connected by a tube a<2> to the inflating-valve Y, is supported by a plate a<1> so that a roller a<4> on the piston-rod engages, on each revolution of the wheel, a cam B which forces in the piston-rod against the action of a spring a<5> and inflates the tyre. When not required, the cam B can be moved out of the path of the roller a<4> by means of a rod b<1> connecting it to the handle-bar. A projection b<2> normally secures the rod b<1> in its upper position, but on rotating the rod the projection passes through a slot in the handlebar and allows the rod to be depressed by the spring b<3>.
