Patent GB-191023598-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Carburetted-air Generators for Vapour and other Burners.
Inventor: HENNESSY JOHN JOSEPH
IPC: F23D11/44
Filed: 1910-10-12
Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 23,598. Hennessy, J. J., and Spence, R. Oct. 12. Incandescent vapour burners; carburetted-air burners; vaporizing-apparatus, - Incandescent air-gas burners are each provided with two separate sources of gas which may be used independently or simultaneously. These consist of carburetted air and vaporized fuel. A reservoir A connected to a source of compressed air J supplies petrol through the valve E and pipe I to the vaporizer 0, to which carburetted air is supplied through the pipe H, nozzle L, and pipe M. The burner uses carburetted-air alone when starting, since no fuel is vaporized until the chamber 0 is heated, but when sufficient vaporized fuel is supplied the carburetted air supply may be turned wholly or partly off. The carburetting - tube C is perforated above and below the liquid, and is packed with woven asbestos. In a modified construction the carburetted air from the reservoir A is passed through another petrol-container, and the pipe H is bifurcated, one branch passing into the mixing-tube supplying air and vapour to the burner, and the other branch passing to a burner used solely for heating the vaporizer.

Granted: 1912-05-28
Abstract: 12,703. Steel, M., and Steel, M. May 26. [Cognate Application, 25,293/11.] Blowpipe burners.-Air and carburetted air are fed by separate pipes provided with cocks, into a single pipe b, from which they pass into the mixing-chamber a<2>. The mixing-chamber is separated from the combustion chamber a<1> by a disk d, which is perforated, preferably in the manner shown in Fig. 4, with a central hole surrounded by a ring of holes, leaving an outer annular blank space. The diameter of the ring of holes is so related to the diameter of the nozzle orifice that the flame does not fill the orifice, air being thus allowed to enter the nozzle from outside, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 2. The disk shown in Fig. 4 may be replaced by that shown in Fig. 3, having a central hole d<1> and an outer annular blank space. A gauze disk e may be inserted to prevent back-firing. The nozzle a is preferably made in three detachable portions a<3>, a<4> a<5>, and two disks of the kind shown in Fig. 4 may be employed face to face so that the area of the holes may be varied by rotating one disk relatively to the other. In a simpler modification shown in Fig. 6, the nozzle consists of a truncated cone a<6>, the mixed gases entering through a hole in the base of the cone.

Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 23,526. Wilmot, F. A. Oct. 24. Cast-iron and scrap processes; ore processes; ore, oxide, cast-iron, and scrap processes.-Iron ore is smelted in blast furnaces to produce a low-grade pig-iron, which is given an openhearth treatment at a low temperature to reduce the metalloid content prior to further treatment in open-hearth furnaces for the production of alloy or other steels. The amount of limestone and coke used in the blast furnaces is materially below the normal, and the preliminary treatment is preferably effected in a basic regenerative tilting mixing-furnace of the open-hearth type. Basic material, or slag from the steel furnaces, may be charged into the mixer, and low-grade scrap, borings, turnings, and iron oxides may be used in the steel furnaces. In treating a chromium-nickel ore by this process the chromium can be reduced to half or one-third per cent.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Speed Varying Means.
Inventor: FITTON WILLIAM
IPC: F16H29/00
Filed: 1912-01-20
Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 1637. Fitton, W. Jan. 20. Ratchet gearing.-In a change-speed gear, a variable throw is imparted to a pawl driving a ratchet-wheel. In order to obviate noise &c., an arrangement, shown in Fig. 11, for lifting the pawl s out of engagement on the idle stroke is employed. Arms 10 or a disk loose on the shaft q carry pins 9 engaging the pawls s. At each end of the movement of the pawl-carrying arms 12 there is relative movement between the arms 10 and the arms 12, which serves to lift the pawls or allows them to engage the ratchetwheels, such movement being limited by stops 11. In another arrangement, shown in Fig. 13, each pinion on the shaft q carries a disk 14, in which is mounted a spring-controlled slide 15 having a pin-and-slot connexion with another slide 18, the arrangement being such that the slide 15 can operate the slide 18 but the slide 18 cannot move the slide 15. A pin 19 on the slide engages a slot in the pawl-carrying arm 21. A second disk, which is braked by suitable means, is loosely mounted on the shaft q and carries two pins, one adapted to engage an extension 28 of the pawl s, and the other to actuate the slide 15 through a pivoted arm 24. When the disk 14 is moved in one direction, the pins move the pawl out of engagement, and, when it is moved in the opposite direction, the pawl is released, and the slides 15, 18 are moved until the pawl is in full and locked engagement with the ratchet-wheel.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Sulphuric Acid.
Inventor: BURKHARDT ADOLF
IPC: C01B17/82
Filed: 1912-12-23
Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 29,568. Burkhardt, A. Dec. 23. Sulphuric acicl is obtained by causing gases containing sulphurous acid to take up in " unidirectional current " all the water-vapour necessary for the reaction before bringing them into contact with nitrous vitriol. The gases enter at a passage a, bubble through dilute sulphuric acid in a seal d, and then pass through two series of dilute acid seals formed by basins e fed'by pipes f. The moist gases then pass through similar seals g containing nitrous vitriol, which is obtained bv washing the exit gases with sulphuric acid supplied through funnels o, the gas and liquid travelling in the same direction. Or this last washing may take place in a separate tower. The denitrated vitriol from the seal g passes by the path h, i, f to the seals e. In a modification, Fig. 2, the sulphurous acid gases pass from a passage t under walls v through dilute acid to a tower p packed with filling s supplied with nitrous vitriol. The gases pass under an acid seal r by a pipe p<1> to packed towers q, q<1> supplied with sulphuric acid from tanks y. Several such apparatus can be combined together. Instead of the seals described, the gases can be led through the acids by tubes dipping therein.
