Title: Improvements in and relating to the Extraction of Tin from Ores, Slag or Refuse
Inventor: MUEHLINGHAUS HERMANN
Filed: 1907-11-16
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 25,460. M³hlinghaus, H. Nov. 16. Metallurgical furnaces. - In an apparatus for obtaining tin oxide from ore, slag, or refuse, by mixing with carbonaceous material in a furnace and subjecting to an air blast, as described in Specification No. 15,039, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Metals and alloys], the mixed tin-containing and carbonaceous materials are briquetted, and melted in a furnace, the molten material being run into another vessel filled with coke, anthracite, or the like, into which air, preferably heated, is forced or drawn. The tin oxide is withdrawn from this vessel without having to pass through the unmelted charge in the melting furnace. In one form of apparatus, the briquettes are melted in a furnace a and the molten material runs through a pipe m into a chamber b filled with coke. Air is introduced through a pipe h, and the tin oxide is withdrawn through a pipe g.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Regenerative Retort Furnaces.
Inventor: HEINZ NICHOLAS LOUIS
Filed: 1908-03-05
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 5038. Heinz, N. L. March 5. Regenerative retort furnaces.-Relates to means for supplying gas and regenerativelyheated air to the retort chamber of a furnace for extracting zinc. Gas enters the retort chamber through openings 10 on each side of a central vertical wall 4, and through an horizontal flue 7 formed in the wall and provided at intervals with ports 8 which open below the lowest retort. The retort chamber is separated from the regenerator by heavy arches 5 covered with cinder and with top plates 6. Below these arches, is provided a series of thin arches 13, the spaces between which gradually increase from the bottom upwards. The spaces enclosed by alternate pairs of arches are connected as shown, by flues 15, 16 formed in the central wall, s o that air entering the regenerator through openings 17 passes in a serpentine course to the upper part. It then passes into valved flues 18, arranged opposite the openings 8 in the gas flue 7, and escapes into the retort chamber through ports 20. Products of combustion leave the lower end of the retort chamber by openings 12 and, after passing in a serpentine course through the intermediate spaces between the arches 13 of the regenerator, escape to the chimney by a flue 24. Cleaning-openings 25, provided with doors 26, are arranged at intervals in the wall 14 of the air heater.
Patent GB-190809129-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Sluice Valves.
Inventor: SEIFFERT FRANZ
Filed: 1908-04-27
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 9129. Sieffert, F. April 27. Sliding valves.- Relates to sliding valves of the type in which the valve disks are pressed to their seats by wedges, the object being to provide positive means for opening and closing the valve, such means being automatically taken out of operation when the valve disks are opposite their respective seats. The disks d, e are pressed to their seats by the wedge f which is operated by a screwed spindle in the usual way. The wedge f has a guide at its lower end, in which slides a member g which is connected by a rod r to a lever l pivoted at k to the wedge f. The lever l has projections m, n, which co-operate with a projection o on the casing. The disks d, e are formed with projections h, i, v, w. The valve operates in the following manner. After the wedge f has been raised through a short distance by the operation of the spindle, the slide g bears against the projections v, w, and the valve disks d, e are raised with the wedge. During the raising of the wedge, the projection n on the lever l bears against the edge q of the projection o, causing the slide g to move to the left and pass over the projections h, i on the valve disks. To close the valve, the spindle is rotated' in the opposite direction, whereby the wedge is lowered and the slide g engages the projections h, i on the valve disks, which are hence moved positively downwards. During the down ward movement of the disks d, e, the part n of the lever l engages with the edge p of the piece o and withdraws the sliding piece g from the projections h, i, whereby on further downward movement, the wedge f only presses the disks d, e tightly to their seats. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the valve disks d, e may adjust themselves to the planes of their seats irrespective of any irregularities in the wedge surfaces. The disk e has a projection x which engages in a recess in a plate y provided with a sleeve y<2>, which passes over a sleeve d<2> on the disk d, a spring z being interposed between these parts. The plate y has wedge surfaces y<1> to engage with the wedge.f, which is coupled to the spindle by a pin and slot.

Abstract: 11,544. Dring, J. May 27. Driving-mechanism.-In gradually and other variable-speed hub gears for cycles &c. wherein the variation in speed is effected by the rotation of an eccentric, cam, or other part, to prevent undesired oscillation of this member when held by a wire &c. from the handle-bar or other position of control, a locking-device is provided at the hub. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in connexion with a gear such as that described in Specification No. 8993, A.D. 1906, a grooved ring a, to which the operating-cable is connected, operates an eccentric b through a double roller-clutch device, the arrangement being such that, when actuation of the ring ceases, the clutch operates to hold the eccentric as regards rotation in either direction. The grooved ring carries projections f disposed between spring-pressed clutch rollers &c. i, which jam between a disk d and a fixed part c, the disk and a sleeve or ring l being rotatably connected to the eccentric by jaw locks.

Abstract: 11,885. Roth, C. June 11, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. [Patent of Addition to No. 6738, A.D 1908.] Elastic-fluid turbines.-End pressure in turbines is balanced by means of a number of dummy pistons, and suitable packings are so arranged that the dummy pistons and the packings are subjected to only a part of the total pressure. The packings may be placed at the high or low pressure end of the turbine or at both ends. In the form shown in Fig. 1 the intermediate space s is connected by a pipe to the space between the two packings o', o<2>, and the interior of the turbine communicates with the condenser space k. The annular surface between the diameter d' of the rotor and the packing o<1> forms one dummy piston, and the surface between the packings o<1>, o<2> forms a second dummy piston. In other forms of turbine described the interior of the drum is connected to the condenser or to the space between the first stages of the turbine. Reversing turbines are also described with one packing at each high-pressure end, Fig. 6, and also with packings for each turbine similar to that shown in Fig. 1. In the turbine, Fig. 6. the interior of the drum is connected to exhaust pressure, and packings at the high-pressure ends are used. On the nozzle ring between the two velocity stages c, c<2> a packing e is used comprising a number of ledges 9, 9<1>, 9<2>, Figs. 10 and 11, coacting with ledges 8, 8<1>, 8<2> on the rotor. The ledges may be caulked in or otherwise fixed to their supporting- members, or may be formed in one therewith. Similar packings may be used for the blades. In one form of turbine shown an overload valve is used to pass steam to the second stage directly from the steam-pipe.

Title: Improvements in Water Purifying Apparatus.

Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 27,272. Marks, E. C. R., [Oliver-Roche Co.]. Dec. 15. Floating filters.-Water enters a settling-tank A by a pipe 2 with a float-operated valve 3, and filters upwards into a floating chamber B through layers of carbon and sand separated by a copper or brass screen and supported on a screen of galvanized iron 19 resting on inclined slats on concrete girders 16. The filtered water passes through a flexible pipe 14 to a chamber 32 having an outlet 33 of smaller capacity than would be required by the normal rate of filtration, so that the liquid-level in the chamber 32 is that of the overflow 34. When the filter is clogged, this level falls and a float 29 opens a valve 24 on a by-pass 23 which delivers water from the pipe 2 to float chambers 8. The result is a lowering of the filter, which gives increased pressure through it and maintains the rate of filtration. The float 29 closes the valve 24 when the liquid level in the chamber 32 has again risen. When the water has risen above a normal level in the chambers 8, a float 35 closes the valve 24 by means of a lever arm 36 and a rod 37.
