Granted: 1902-12-24
Abstract: 4660. Runcorn White Lead Co., Barton, G. V., Jones, T., and Crawley, C. W. S. Feb. 24. Lead oxides.-Lead oxide is obtained as a fine powder in the manner and by the apparatus described in Specifications Nos. 17,178 and 21,830, A.D. 1898, except that, instead of the powder passing out through an opening in the side of the beating-vessel, it passes out through the top, the tubes leading the powder to the collecting-chamber being also modified. By this arrangement metallic lead particles carried up with the powder are enabled to fall back into the pot. The heating- vessel a, the stirrer b, the blast pipe c, the furnace d, and the collecting-chamber e are the same as in the previous cases. The outlet a<2> for the powder is in the cover of the vessel a, and communicates by tubes a<3>, a<4> with the collecting-chamber. As shown, the tube a<3> is vertical, while the tube a<4> is bent, but, in modifications, this arrangement may be reversed, or both tubes may be upright and be connected by an inverted U-tube. A removable cover a<5> is provided to the tubes for cleaning purposes, and an externally-operated sliding damper a<6>, to regulate the height or area of the opening between the two tubes. Downwardly-directed air or steam pipes a<13> assist in drawing off the powder. The invention may be used with other apparatus for the production of lead oxide. The Provisional Specification states that the outlet tube may be only slightly inclined or circuitous, that the inclined outlet tube may be heated, and that a well may be arranged at the bottom of the inclined member, to collect lead particles, which are then led back to the pot.

Granted: 1902-07-24
Abstract: 11,498. Weeks, J. W. May 20. Acetylene.-Relates to apparatus in which carbide in the form of small pieces is fed automatically into water. The gasometer tank B and the gasgenerator tank C are connected by a chamber H provided with openings f <2>, h<1>, the opening h<1> being at the water level. The carbide holder E communicates by a neck r<6> with a feed-wheel G provided with pins o<3>, Fig. 7, projecting through slots in the bottom o<14> of the holder, which is curved round the wheel G so as to support the carbide. A rod h<2> pivoted on a sleeve o<7>, concentric with the shaft of the wheel G, carries two oppositely-arranged, self-dropping pawls c<2>, which gear with a ratchet-wheel c<1> secured to the wheel G. When the bell D descends sufficiently, the upper part e<1> of a rod e carried thereby operates a lever f g which is pivoted at f<2> and is connected by a link h with the rod h<2>. The driving-pawl is thus caused to turn the wheel G through oneeighth of a revolution, during which motion the pins o<3> propel a charge of carbide into the water. When the bell D rises again, the driving-pawl is returned to its original position, while the wheel G remains stationary. The gas produced passes from the generator by the pipe i to a washing-chamber F<1>, below the gasometer tank, and thence by a pipe a' into the bell. The gas passes from the bell through a strainer b<7> into a pipe b<4>, a branch b<5> of which is connected with the service pipes. Excessive pressure raises the bell D to its upper limit, where a flange d' on the tube d engages a stop s on the pipe b, and in this position the gas escapes by an opening c, an opening b<2>, the pipe b, an opening b<1>, and a pipe to the open air. The generator is fitted with a stirrer operated by hand, and with a discharge cock o. When the cover of the holder E is removed, a spring r<3> raises a rod r<4> carrying a quadrant r<9>, which lifts the pawl out of engagement with the wheel c'.
