Inventor: CREASEY HECTOR HENRY
IPC: F24C3/04
Filed: 1910-08-03
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 18,370. Creasey, H. H., and Adams, S. Aug. 3. Gas fires.-Air-heating flues behind the back e of a gas-fire are so constructed that they present no internal heated surfaces upon which dust might collect and be heated, thus avoiding odours from this cause. An horizontal flue a, not exposed to heat, and having alternative air-admission openings b, c, communicates with one or more flues d passing up behind the back e and discharging through the usual canopy or the upper part of the stove. The rising flues may be seated in grooves in the back, or may be formed in it.
Patent GB-191019693-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Typographical Composing Machines and Matrices therefor.
Inventor: WALKER ARTHUR HENRY
IPC: B41B11/18
Filed: 1910-08-23
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 19,693. Walker, A. H., [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen-Fabrik Ges.]. Aug. 23. Assembling matrices.-Multiple-face matrices are assembled at different levels by means of a single adjustable shelf or ledge in the assembler, which can be projected to different extents, and co-operates with lugs projecting to different extents from the matrices. The matrices are supported in the assembler 1, Fig. 1, by a fixed or retractable shelf or ledge 9, in alinement with which, at the receiving-end, is a short adjustable ledge 10. By means of a hand-lever, the ledge 10 can be caused to project to the same extent as the ledge 9 or to a less extent. Each matrix 3, Fig. 4, has the front top lug replaced by two lugs 19, 20, the lug 19 projecting to a less extent than the lug 20. The lower surfaces of the lugs 19, 20 are at the same distance apart as the formative cavities 14, 15. When matrices are to be assembled at the higher level, the ledge 10 is projected to the full extent so that the matrices falling into the assembler are arrested by their lugs 19. When matrices are to be assembled at the lower level, the shelf 10 is partly withdrawn, so that their lugs 20 engage the ledge 10 and pass on to the ledge 9. Matrices having three or more formative cavities are provided with three or more lugs of different degrees of projection, and the shelf 10 is arranged to occupy any one of three or more positions. The lugs are not, in this case, at the same distances apart as the formative cavities, and the line-delivery channel is therefore provided with diverging ribs, which separate the matrices to the proper extents. The arrangement may be applied to the bottom instead of to the top lugs of the matrices.

Title: Improvements in the Electrolytic Manufacture of Glycollic Acid.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: C25B3/25
Filed: 1910-11-15
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 26,546. Johnson, G. W., [Deutsche Goldund Silber-Scheide-Anstalt vorm. Roessler]. Nov. 15. Glycollic acid, obtaining; electrodes.-Strong solutions of glycollic acid are obtained in the reduction of oxalic acid with the use of a diaphragm and of electrodes giving an opposing electric pressure by adding fresh oxalic acid, either solid or dissolved, to the catholyte during electrolysis, so that the hydrogen formed at the cathode always meets with oxalic acid. Not more than ten per cent of mineral acid should be added to the catholyte; this acid may be . dispensed with entirely, especially if the level of anolyte is kept above that of the catholyte. The current density exceeds 2À5 amperes per square decimetre, and a concentrated solution of oxalic acid, containing, say, 25 parts of the crystalline acid to 80 parts of water, may be used at starting. The anolyte may be sulphuric acid of 23-30 per cent strength. Electrodes of large area should be used, similar to those of storage cells.

The box can thus be extended as shown in Fig. 2, the extension being limited by stops D on the free ends of the rods. Hooks E, screwed into the back of the box, support a palette B, which, when the box is not extended, rests on the partition and prevents the contents of the box from coming in contact with panels in the lid. The box may have adjustable corner-pieces shaped to rest against the body, and a strap to go round the shoulders.

Granted: 1912-03-04
Abstract: 5392. Coux, H. S. March 3. Atmospheric vapour burners ; vaporizing- apparatus.-In a vapour-gas generator having a sub-flame burner m, the hydrocarbon is delivered to a vaporizer a having an outlet leading to a vertical pipe c terminating in an adjustable nipple c<2> and having a needle valve c<1>. The pipe c directs the gas into a vertical pipe e, the lower end of which is fitted with two concentric tubes, the inner one e<1>, having slots e<2> near its lower end, which is preferably flared, and is surrounded by the outer tube e<4>, so as to allow superfluous gas to escape by the pipe e<5>. A vertically adjustable shield f having an open bottom governs the air supply and thereby the density of the gas in the mixing-chamber. An additional air inlet g may be provided to supply heated air, or the air supply may be entirely through the inlet g, the bottom of the shield f then being closed. The sub-flame burner m has two fuel inlet pipes l, l<1> connected to widely separated points on the outlet pipe h, so that, if gas consumption is small, by opening the cock l<2> and passing some of the gas to the burner, an efficient circulation of gas is maintained.
