Patent GB-190722523-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Magnetic Separators.
Inventor: MEEK GEORGE THOMAS
Filed: 1907-10-12
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 22,523. Meek, G. T. Oct. 12. Magnetic separators.-A magnetic separator for extracting tin cans, iron, &c. from destructor and other refuse, consisting of a revolving cylinder provided with internal magnets, is provided with h ploughs W which break up the material and d also act as a propeller to force it through the cylinder. A series of openings in the cylindrical surface enables the magnetic coils to be easily inserted, romoved, or inspected. Each opening is provided with a cover 13 which is bolted to the magnet and screwed to the cylinder casing. The windings of the magnets are connected at one end of the cylinder to brushes 11, which contact, during part of the rotation of the cylinder, with a segment 6 carried by a semicircular wooden support 7 mounted on stays 8. The windings are all connected, at the other end of the cylinder, to a ring 1 which is fixed to the cylinder rim s and contacts with a brush 2 carried by a bracket 4 mounted on a standard q. The magnets are thus demagnetized at the upper part of their travel so as to release the attracted material, which falls into a shoot k vibrated by a jigger l driven by bevel and chain gearing from a shaft e, which also drives the friction wheels c that support and rotate the cylinder. The cylinder is provided at each end with a brass lining t and a wooden lining u.

Title: Improvements in Alternating Current Electric Motors.
Inventor: JACOBY HENRY CHARLES EDWARD
Filed: 1907-10-12
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 22,526. Jacoby, H. C. E. Oct. 12. Motors, alternating-current, armatures; sparking, preventing.-To allow sparkless commutation in alternating-current commutator motors, the armature coils are wound with a fractional pitch and the brushes are placed between the neutral line and line of maximum magnetization in such a position that the coil under commutation is linked with two equal and opposing fluxes. The preferred arrangement has an armature pitch of value between five and eight tenths of the pole pitch, as shown in Fig. 2, which shows a portion of the developed wave winding of a four-pole repulsion motor with an armature pitch extending over seven slots, while the pole pitch is ten slots. The invention may be applied to windings other than wave, and also to motors not having salient poles, as shown in Fig. 3, which shows a four-pole stator c. In this case, the pitch of the armature coils b becomes approximately seven-tenths of the width of the pole face.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Refractory Mantles or the like for Heating by Radiation.
Inventor: DELAGE MARCEL
Filed: 1907-12-24
Granted: 1908-12-24
Abstract: 28,407. Delage, M. Feb. 27, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Mantles.-Relates to the manufacture of refractory mantles &c. for heating by radiation. A knitted tube of asbestos thread constructed upon looms similar to those employed for the Auer mantles, or by sewing together the edges of a flat knitted strip, is cut into pieces of suitable length. Each of these is drawn up at one end by an asbestos thread to form the mantle head, and this head may be provided with an asbestos suspending-loop. A loose thread may be passed through the meshes of the mantle to prevent disintegration during the process of manufacture. The mantles are next stiffened and hardened by immersion in a solution of soluble salts of metals having refractory oxides. For this 'purpose, an aqueous solution of about 30 per cent concentration of a mixture of onethird aluminium nitrate and two-thirds magnesium nitrate may be used. The mantle is then air-dried, stretched upon a cylindro-conical mould of the required form, and afterwards dried and calcined upon a gas burner. These soaking and calcining operations may be repeated several times. The mantle is then soaked in a solution of a soluble cerium salt, preferably the nitrate, of a concentration of 30 to 50 per cent. After drying and calcining, the mantle is ready for use. The mantle may be suspended above the burner by means of a metallic or refractory hook, or it may be simply fixed vertically upon the burner head. Specification No. 12,468, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Stoves &c.], is referred to. In the Specification as open to inspection under the Act of 1901, the use of beryllium and silicate of soda or potash in the hardening solutions is mentioned; it is also stated that the cerium salt may be mixed with the hardening solutions, and further that the mantles may finally be collodionized for the purposes of transport. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Methods of and Devices for Determining the Calorific Value of Gases.
Inventor: SCHOENBERGER FRIEDRICH PHILIPP
Filed: 1908-02-01
Granted: 1909-02-01
Abstract: 2314. Sch÷nberger, F. P. Feb. 1. Calorimeters.- Relates to devices for determining the calorific value of gases. A chamber d is connected with a gas supply through a tube furnished wit h a regulating-valve b. The gas is ignited, and the supply is regulated until the flame rises just above the top of the burner a. The calorific value of the gas is then determined either by observing the pressure in the chamber d or by measuring the height of the flame. Scales g, f giving the calorific values are graduated by calibration. The calorific value may also be determined by increasing the speed of escape until the flame is blown out and by reading the scales at that moment.

Title: Improvements in, and in the Manufacture of, Tiles, Slabs or other Finished Products of Hard Material.
Inventor: LOKE JOHANNES JACOBUS
Filed: 1908-10-29
Granted: 1909-08-26
Abstract: 23,010. Loke, J. J. Oct. 29. Tiles, slabs, &c.-Tiles, slabs, and other finished products of hard material are formed from titaniferous ore or sand containing magnetite, hematite, or ilmenite. The ore is first pulverized, and the combined iron and titanic oxide particles are separated from the gangue by means of a magnetic or other separating process. The separated material, with or without the addition of silica, is then melted in an electric or other furnace and cast in suitable moulds. In cases where the ore contains a sufficiently high percentage of iron and titanic oxides, the pulverizing and separating operations may be omitted. The slabs formed are stated to be well adapted for paving purposes, and may be cast with polished or roughened surfaces and either plain or with interlocking projections and recesses.

Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 26,040. Nance, C. W. Nov. 10. Processes and materials for treating hides and skins.-Hides are rapidly tanned by being treated with tan liquor in a vacuum high enough to boil out the water which they contain at a temperature of 60-70‹ F. They may be previously lined in a similar high vacuum. The tanning-liquor is preferably introduced in the form of a thin stream, directed against the vessel to break it into spray, and during the tannage it may be concentrated by warming the vessel or increasing the vacuum until the liquor boils. By these steps, the liquor may be concentrated and a graded tannage may be obtained without employing temperatures which would damage the leather. Alternatively, graded liquors may be introduced into the vat, or water may be used in conjunction with bark &c. placed between the hides. Vacuum apparatus as described in Specification 5325/08, [Class 71, Injectors &c.], may be used, or any other form of vacuum pan preferably having a heating-coil.
