Patent GB-190817356-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Process for Rendering Silica Contained in Sodium Aluminate Insoluble for the Purpose of Obtaining Pure Alumina Free from Silica.
Inventor: PENIAKOFF DMITRY
Filed: 1908-08-18
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 17,356. Peniakoff, D. Aug. 18. Sodium, calcium, barium, &c. aluminates.- Sodium aluminate solution is rendered free from silicate by a process according to which an alkalineearth aluminate, such as calcium aluminate, is added, with or without sodium carbonate solution, whereby the silica is precipitated as an insoluble alkaline-earth compound. The treatment may take place during the lixiviation of the crude aluminate under pressure in a rotating vessel, or it may be applied to filtered sodium aluminate solution. The calcium aluminate used may be prepared by calcining bauxite or alumina with the equivalent quantity of lime, or preferably with calcium carbonate resulting from the treatment of sodium carbonate with lime for producing caustic soda.

Title: Improvements relating to Automatic Musical Instruments.
Inventor: GULBRANSEN AXEL GUSTAVE
Filed: 1907-11-06
Granted: 1908-11-06
Abstract: 22,458. Gulbransen, A. G. Nov. 6, 1907. Automatic instruments.-In an automatic musical instrument, the moving boards of the note-operating pneumatics such as 121, 122, are coupled together by means of a link 145, both pneumatics being controlled by a valve 130. The actions are arranged in staggered horizontal rows, and each may comprise more than two pneumatics coupled together. The chamber below the diaphragm 125 is connected to the tracker-board by a duct 140, while the space above the diaphragm is connected to exhaust by a passage 141. The valve chamber 127 is connected by passages such as 131 to the pneumatics 121, 122, and a "bleed-hole" 142 is provided for the duct 140. The diaphragm 125 is connected by a button 138 to a hinged rod 133 which is slotted at one end, a pin 136 fitting into this slotted portion. The rod 133 is in turn connected to the valve 130, the upward movement of the valve being limited by a washer 129. When air is admitted from the tracker-board to the duct 140, the diaphragm 125 raises the valve 130 through the connecting parts 133, 137, 138, thereby closing the port leading to the atmosphere and connecting the pneumatics 121, 122 to exhaust. The collapse of the pneumatics, which is limited by an adjustable screw 146, actuates, through the extension 144, the foot 148 of an abutment rod 149 which is adjustably connected to the abstract a by clips 150. When the tracker duct is closed, the duct 140 is exhausted by the action of the " bleed hole " 142 and the valve 130 resumes its original position. Each action is in the form of a separate unitary structure which is secured to the wall of the exhaust chamber 51 by means of screws 147. The abutment rods 148 are of varying length so that their upper ends lie in an horizontal line, and the cover of the exhaust chamber 54 is hinged so that it can be swung downwards.

Abstract: 6533. Dicker, S. G. S., [Osterreichische Chemische Werke Akt.-Ges. and L÷wenstein, L.]. March 18. Acids, alcoholic liquids, mineral oils, glycerine, hydrogen peroxide, &c., distilling.-In fractionating vapours by condensing one of the constituents in a condenser b at a temperature regulated by means of a boiling liquid, this liquid is caused to boil under a pressure equal to that of the vapour under treatment, by means of a connexion g leading to the main vapour system. The boiling-bath is usually composed of the liquid which is to be condensed in the condenser d next in the series, thus, water is used in concentrating hydrogen peroxide, and alcohol in distilling alcohol. A higher temperature may be obtained by the use of a suitable bath, for instance a salt solution, a reflux condenser being then inserted in the pipe g. The process is applied either to pressure or vacuum distillation. Sulphuric acid, glycerine, petroleum, and nitric acid may also be treated by this method.

Abstract: 16,898. Crossley, J.. and Leach, A. H. July 15. Guards, controlling.-The door of a carding- engine can be placed in a partly-opened position without locking the fast pulley as long as the stripping-brush or grinding-roller is in position. The fast pulley carries a number of pins a', Fig. 1, which coact with the sliding door bar b so that the door is ordinarily closed and locked when the machine is running; when the door is fully open, the fast pulley cannot be turned, the bar being then in the position shown in dotted lines. Any suitable shroud or guard may be provided for the pins a'. A step b<5> on the bar, when up against a bracket c<2>, places the door in an intermediate position while allowing the pulley to rotate, as shown in Fig. 4; but this position cannot be ordinarily attained in opening the door, by reason of a catch i, Fig. 3, which meets a wedge j fixed to the bar and raises the bar enough for it to slip over the bracket c<2> into the fully-open position. If, however, the stripping-brush or grinding-roller be inserted in its bearings, a lever g is depressed, causing the catch i to be depressed also clear of the wedge j, so that the door can be placed in the intermediate position. Removal of the brush or roller causes the bar to be raised by the catch i, so that the door falls by its own weight into the wide-open position locking the pulley.

Sale apparatus. -T h e apparatus is adapted to cut postage stamps; labels, tickets, &c. from sheets, to count and issue them automatically, and simultaneously to operate an advertising device. Delivery mechanism.-The sheet of stamps rests on a base-plate a, and the end row of stamps, having been severed by a knife a<5>, rests in a channel c<6> between rollers c<7>, c<8>. After prepayment, the operator turns the arm b<1> and shaft b<2>, thereby rotating the rollers c<7>, c<8> through mutilated g e a r e<1>, e, and feeding the stamp strip along the channel c<6> through the space of one stamp. The foremost stamp is severed by a knife e<2>, which is carried by a slide e<3> actuated by a lever e' and fork e<6> from a cam e' on the shaft e<2>. When the last stamp of the strip is being delivered, a pin f on a wheel e<16> rocks an arm f<1>, whereupon a lever f<4>, connected to the arm through a link f<3> and lever f<2>, lifts a spindle f<5> carrying the frame of the roller c<7>, permitting rollers a<3>, a<4> to feed forward the stamp sheet to bring the next row of stamps into the channel c<6>, the knife a<5> then severing this row from the sheet. The rollers a<3>, a<4>, and the spindle c<1>, which carries crank-arms for operating the knife a<5>, are driven through mutilated gear from the spindle b<2>. A pin f<8> on a gear b<9> prevents return of the arm f<1> before the strip is severed from the sheet, and arms f<9> operated from the arm f<1> ensure the feeding of the last row of stamps. The lever e<7> may operate any.known type of counter. Exhibiting moving advertisements. - Advertisements are carried by plates g<9>, Fig. 5, pivoted to a drum g<8>, which is driven by a sprocket-chain g<5> from a wheel g<6> so that a fresh plate is displayed each time the hand-lever b<1> is operated. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-A frame d<3> normally prevents rotation of the hand-lever b<1>. The coin rests in an aperture d<4> of a slide d, and when the slide is pushed in, engages a pin d<1> and moves back the frame, finally escaping through an aperture d<5>. The frame is returned to the normal position by the handlever.

Abstract: 29,280. Schwarzhaupt, W. Dec. 16. Moistening.-In air-moistening apparatus of the type in which the air passes over and between a series of superimposed hollow chambers arranged so that the liquid overflows from chamber to chamber, the chambers take the form of circular dishes or saucers 7, the overflow orifices of which are provided with lips 8. To render the dishes readily interchangeable, the base of one rests in the widened support 13 of the next. A rod 4, preferably coloured red, attached to a float 3 in a collecting-chamber 1 indicates when liquid is to be supplied or cutoff from the top container 5. The dishes are surrounded by a preferably detachable perforated sheet-iron casing 9, which may be suspended by a loop 10. Liquid may be discharged through a cock 11, but is preferably drawn off through a siphon 17 by the aid of a rubber ball 18. To increase the evaporative surface, absorbent bodies, preferably of a ceramic or fibrous nature, may be placed in the dishes. Those shown consist of a hollow cylindrical core 15 with radial vanes 16.
