Title: A New or Improved Process for Manufacturing Lead-carbonates.
Inventor: WULTZE ADOLF
Filed: 1905-03-27
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 6439. Wultze, A. March 27. Lead carbonates; white lead.-Carbonic acid is caused to act under pressure upon lead-acetate solution in such a manner that the liquid is brought under the pressure of the gas in a very short time, say a fraction of a second. Coarse crystals are stated to be thus prevented from forming, and white products of great covering power are obtained. This sudden contact may be effected in any manner. For example, the lead solution and the gas may act upon one another in an injector, or the reaction may take place in the apparatus shown, wherein a receptacle A contains carbonic acid under a pressure of 3 to 4 atmospheres, and a smaller receptacle B, having a stirring-device c, contains the lead-acetate solution. By turning on the valve b, which has a large passage, a sudden increase of pressure is obtained in the vessel B. Unabsorbed carbonic acid is returned by a pump e and pipe d to the vessel A. A safety-valve f is provided.

Title: Improvements in Electric Clock Systems and the like.
Inventor: PARSONS ISAAC HARDY
Filed: 1905-09-04
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 17,826. Parsons, I. H., and Ball, A. E. J. Sept. 4. Electric clocks are provided with a warning and relay device, which acts if the periodic current becomes too weak for its work and is in consequence prolonged by failure or delay of the automatic break. The device comprises a heavy armature lever A on the pivot B of the armature D of an electromagnet C, connected by a link H, with a pendulum E having a weight F and counterpoise F<1>. The normal short currents fail to overcome the inertia of the apparatus, but a prolonged current causes the pendulum to strike a gong or expose a flag or the like, and with this action a'resistance may be cut out or a secondary battery be switched in. In a modification, the device is operated by the gravity lever which drives the clock. The device may be used with the electric clocks described in Specification No. 24,620, A.D. 1904. For the purpose of increasing the current, the clock may be modified as shown in Fig. 3 by the introduction of an intermediate lever R, which closes the contacts K, K<1>.

Title: An Improved Rotary Pump.
Inventor: CHALAS LEON
Filed: 1906-02-26
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 4682. Chalas, L., RÚquillart, E., and Contal, C. March 3, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Revolving-cylinder pumps.-A pump, particularly for use with a lubricator but also of general application, consists of a rotating cylindrical block 1, Fig. 1, actuated by hand or by suitable mechanism, which is made with a uniform diametrical bore in which reciprocates a piston 2. Within the suction pipe 5 slides a block 7, guided in a split tube 8, and pressed upwards by a spring 9. As the cylinder rotates from the position shown, in the direction of the arrow, the edge of the bore bears against the oblique upper edge of the block 7 and presses it down. The bore below the piston is filled with lubricant, which is carried round with the cylinder. As the opposite end of the bore comes round to the pipe 5, the block 7 is pressed in by the spring and forces the piston to the other end of the bore, causing the lubricant above mentioned to be discharged into the delivery tube 6. The suction caused by the movement of the piston draws another charge of lubricant into the rotating bore. The lift of the sliding piece 7, and thereby the lift of the piston, may be regulated by a screwed spindle 12, which bears upon a cut-away stop 15 on the sliding piece. A multiple pump may be constructed by arranging several transverse bores at different points in a single cylindrical block, and to regulate the resistance the directions of the bores may be set at equidistant angles to one another.
