Inventor: BLAISDELL HIRAM WHEELER
Filed: 1906-08-23
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 18,898. Blaisdell, H. W. Aug. 23, Loading; conveyers. - Travelling trippers or dischargers for endless band conveyers such as are employed for stacking spent residues are driven independently of the conveyer belt and are automatically reversed at the ends of the travel. Means are also described for distributing the material in any desired direction and for throwing the material in advance of the extremity of the conveyer so as to form a pile upon which tracks may be laid and the conveyer extended. The travelling wheels of the tripper run upon a track 75 and are enclosed in casings 6. They are driven from the shaft of a motor enclosed in a casing 21 through a worm engaging a worm-wheel on the transverse shaft 15. The shaft 15 has bevel-wheels engaging reversing- bevels enclosed in a casing 13 and mounted on a shaft 8 having worms engaging worm-wheels on the travelling wheels. A lever 28 operates the reversing-clutches on the shaft 8, and this may be actuated either by a hand-lever 30 or by a depending lever engaging stops on the track at the ends of the travel. The conveyer belt 48 passes over rollers 39, 44, 47 on the frame. A belt cleaner 57 is driven from the shaft of the roller 44. The residues are discharged from the belt through a hopper 58 into a hopper 59 secured by cleats 60 to a ring beneath the hopper 5'8 and thence into a. centrifugal distributor 61 driven from a motor enclosed in a casing 66. The distributing-: device is adjustable upon a semicircular angle plate 68 to discharge in any direction. The power for driving the motors is derived from the lines 72 through trollies 71. When operating upon an incline, a rack is laid at the side of the track and the distributor turned to discharge beyond the forward end of the conveyer, Fig. 6. As the material accumulates in front of the conveyer, the tracks are extended and a new length inserted in the belt. The tripper is then rim to the forward end and the piling proceeds as before.

Patent GB-190705670-A (GB)
Inventor: BORZYKOWSKI BENNO
Filed: 1907-03-08
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 5670. Borzykowski, B. March 8. Designing woven fabrics.-Pattern paper, linen, &c., for use in designing woven or knitted fabrics and the like, is printed mechanically with the usual squares, which may be grouped in any desired manner, for example 8-8, 8-12, etc.; the paper is then sensitized with a suitable emulsion, such as silver chloride or chloro-bromide emulsion, so that, when the pattern is printed photographically on to the paper, the lines are visible. The squares may be printed after the paper is sensitized. The pattern to be woven is photographed and the negative may be re-lined suitably. By means of a camera, the negative is then focused on to the pattern paper, so that the pattern appears enlarged to the desired size. The focusing may be effected on to a ruled unsensitized paper, which is then replaced by the pattern paper. Various bindings are marked on the paper, before the pattern is printed thereon, by means of signs such as crosses, circles, dots, and dashes, Fig. 4, or by numerals, or differentlycoloured squares. A list of the bindings may be provided on the edges or back of the sheet, and the card-puncher can choose one or more bindings for the figure and for the ground. If, for example, a pattern in twill in a ground of satin is desired, the crosses, Fig. 4, are punched in the ground and the circles in the figure. Hand-made pattern papers may be prepared similarly, the figure being marked with transparent colours. The same design may thus be used for punching cards for different fabrics by selecting different bindings. If designs for multicoloured figures are to be produced photographically, the whole pattern is exposed for a given time, then a part, say a, Fig. 5, is covered by colour, a mask, or the like, and the exposure is continued. The part b may then be covered, and the exposure of the part c continued. By the use of suitable emulsions and developer toning baths, the differently exposed parts are printed in different tones varying from blackgreen through brown to yellow.

Abstract: 11,789. Friend, J. E. May 21. Rotary-abutment type.-Relates to a compound engine of the type described in Specification No. 886, A.D. 1907. In each engine, a piston 3 moves in an annular chamber 2 and is carried by a disk 4 on the main shaft 5. The piston co-operates with an abutment 13 which is rotated from the main shaft by spur gearing or its equivalent. The sides of the disks 4 and the ends of the abutments are packed by rings. The contact between the abutments and the outer surfaces of the cylindrical walls 6, 7 is made steam tight by packing-strips 28, which are dovetailed into the casting and are pressed outwards by springs 29. The strips 28 are grooved on the underside and are entered by ribs on plates 28<c>. The low-pressure steam valve 51 is fixed to the shaft 36, and the high-pressure valve is integral with a sleeve 34 which surrounds the shaft 36. The former is packed by rings 52and the latter by rings 38, 39. Steam is introduced at 47 and a pipe 53 leads steam from the high-pressure exhaust to the low-pressure valve-chest. The valve-gear is arranged to work the steam expansively and, according to the position of the reversing-lever, admit steam to one or other side of the abutment. The low-pressure valve gear is shown in Fig. 2 ; the high-pressure gear is exactly similar and is assumed to be directly behind it. A lever 81<a> is pivoted near its centre and provided with slotted ends which embrace pins on the lever 88, secured to the valve spindle and on a block 64<a> which slides in the forked end of a camlever 61<a> pivoted at 60.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Ammonia Liquors before and after Distillation.
Inventor: GROSSMANN JACOB
Filed: 1907-09-07
Granted: 1908-02-20
Abstract: 19,988. Grossmann, J. Sept. 7. Purifying ammoniacal liquor. - The cyanide present in crude ammoniacal liquor is converted into soluble ferrocyanide by the addition of iron sulphide in quantity in excess of the amount theoretically required but insufficient to form insoluble ferrocyanides or too large an amount of sediment under the conditions essential to the process, viz. the presence of excess of ammonium sulphide, this condition being usually fulfilled by the composition of the crude liquor. The amount of iron sulphide to be used is first ascertained by laboratory tests. A batch of the crude liquor is then agitated with the iron sulphide in a tank, the resulting mixture is removed to a settling-tank, the sediment is returned to the mixing-tank and agitated with the next batch of liquor, sufficient fresh iron sulphide being added to keep the conditions constant, and so on continuously. Instead of iron sulphide, substances may be used which contain it or which in the presence of ammonium sulphide will yield it, such as iron sulphides, iron scrap or filings, hydrated iron sulphides, ferrates, iron carbonates, ferrous-ferrocyanide or double compounds thereof &c. In the conversion of cyanide into ferrocyanide, access of air should be avoided. If desired, lumps of sulphur may be added to the mixture in the agitating-tank towards the end of the operation, these lumps being separated again from the mixture before it is run into the settling-tank. When the iron sulphide residues become impure, they may be worked up in any suitable manner. The clear liquor is passed through the ammonia stills in the usual manner. The effluent is treated for the recovery of the ferrocyanide by the addition of such substances as will produce insoluble or sparingly soluble ferrocyanogen compounds ; suitable substances are iron salts, the iron compounds mentioned above, zinc compounds, alkaline earth compounds, &c., or, if lime has been used in the distillation, potassium, sodium, or ammonium salts. The precipitate is worked up in any suitable manner.
