Granted: 1907-04-04
Abstract: 8654. Nicholson, A. H. April 10. Gas and like engines, igniting in. In electric ignition systems in which a condenser is charged by a generator and is discharged through the primary of an induction coil, the windings of this coil are also the windings of the generator. The primary p may have a resistance of about five ohms and is wound over an iron core of any known form which can be rotated between the poles of a permanent magnet or may be otherwise subjected to a varying magnetic field. The secondary s is insulated from and is wound over the primary. One end of each winding terminates in the same slip-ring t, against which bear two bushes, one connected to the spark-gap g and the other to the condenser c. The other end of the primary is connected to a segment k on the ring t, and the other end of the secondary to a second slip-ring on which bear two brushes, one connected to the other terminal of the gap g and the other to a segment h on the ring t. The segments j, l on the ring t are electrically connected with the segments h, k, and all four are so arranged that the secondary s charges the condenser at the period of highest, electromotive force, while discharge takes place through the primary when the electromotive force is at a minimum.

Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 16,690. Humphrey, H. A. July 20. Regenerative kilns and furnaces.-In a reversible regenerative system for heating the air and gas supplies to pottery ovens, kilns, or furnaces, the waste products of combustion are first passed through the usual brickfilled air -heating regenerators where their temperature is considerably reduced, and afterwards over a series of metal pipes through which the gas is passed to the furnace. As shown in Fig. 3 applied to a single-chamber down-draught kiln, the products of combustion pass through openings in the floor to an annular flue d, and, in the position of the reversing-valves f, f<1> shown, through the regenerator a, over the gas-heating pipes b and out to the chimney flue i through another reversing-valve. Air enters the flue g<1>, is heated in the regeneratcr a<1>, and passes into the kiln from an annular flue m through suitable ports. Gas is heated in the pipes band passes into the kiln from the flue q through ports alternating with the air ports. When the valves are reversed, air is heated in the regenerator a and gas in the pipes b<1>. The reversing-valves f, f<1> are connected together and control the air-inlet and exhaust flues, as shown in Fig. 4. The reversing-valve controlling the exit of the products of combustion to the chimney and the entrance of air to the regenerators is of the butterfly type, and is operated simultaneously with the gas reversing-valve. In a modified form, the air-supply flues and reversing- valves are so arranged that the air does not pass over the inoperative gas-heating pipes. In another modification, Fig. 9, the reversing- valves f, f<1> are dispensed with, the direction of the gases being reversed in the kiln chamber. As shown, the products of combustion pass out through the ports n' to the flue m<1> through the regenerator a and over the gas-heating pipes b. The air is heated in the regenerator a' and passes into the kiln from the flue m<2>, while the gas from the pipes b is delivered through the pipe p<1> and flue q<1>. When the valves are reversed, the products of combustion pass out through the flue m<1>, and the air and gas are supplied through the flues m<1>, q<2>.

Title: A New or Improved Treatment of Copper Ores and Residues and the like containing Copper for the Obtaining of Copper therefrom.
Filed: 1907-09-30
Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 21,595. Kings Norton Metal Co., Smith, H. M., and Brownsdon, H. W. Sept. 30. Copper, obtaining and refining; persulphates, obtaining.-Roasted or unroasted copper ores or residues are treated with a solution of ammonia containing persulphate, preferably ammonium persulphate. The solution obtained may be electrolyzed, when a mixture of copper and copper oxide is obtained, which may be used as anode in a refining process or may be dissolved in dilute acid and again electrolyzed. The solvent first used when freed from copper may be revivified by the addition of more persulphate and then used to extract more copper from the ore. The copper solution obtained from the ore may be heated to recover the ammonia and decompose the persulphate; the residue of sulphates of copper and ammonium is dissolved in dilute acid, preferably sulphuric, and the copper deposited by electrolysis, the acid ammonium sulphate solution being then concentrated by heat and electrolyzed to produce ammonium persulphate. Specification No. 13,297, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Small-arms], is referred to.
