Title: Improvements in the Production of Fertilizers from Natural Phosphates.
Inventor: NEWBERRY SPENCER BAIRD
IPC: C05B13/02
Filed: 1911-06-10
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 13,891. Newberry, S. B., and Barrett, H. N. June 10. Calcium, aluminium, iron, and other phosphates.-Natural phosphates are rendered citrate-soluble for use as fertilizers by heating them in powdered form at a temperature of 2500-3000‹ F. in an oxidizing-atmosphere and in the presence of products of combustion, so that the material is sintered or semi-fused, and continuing the heating for one or two hours until practically all the phosphate is citrate - soluble, the material being agitated during the process so that fresh surfaces are continually exposed. The calcination may be conveniently performed in an internally-fired revolving kiln. A shorter heating-period is sufficient if there are added, in the proportion of from 5 to 15 per cent., substances which evolve volatile products at high temperatures. Carbon, alkaline compounds, sulphur, sulphur oxides, sulphuric acid phosphoric acid, alkali phosphates, alkali silicates, and carbonates and sulphates of the alkaline earths are suitable substances.

Abstract: 20,061. Hawkins, I. T. Sept. 9. Fatty oils, extracting. - An apparatus for extracting oil from palm fruit, olives, coco-nuts, or other vegetable matters consists of a movable receptacle or carrier having stationary baffles and means for directing superheated steam on to the material. The apparatus consists of a rotary pan Fig. 1, fitted with an annular trough A, in which the material is placed, and surmounted by a vertically-adjustable frame 22 carrying, as shown in plan in Fig. 3, baffles 43, nozzles 44, knives 46, and a roller 47 having a serrated surface. The trough A is formed with a serrated or corrugated bed, steam-jacketed or not, and a perforated wall 8 through which the oil drains into a gutter 11. A controllable supply of solvent or degreasing-agent may be incorporated with the steam ; the Provisional Specification also mentions petrol, benzine, and caustic soda as suitable reagents. The apparatus is primarily adapted for separating the pericarp and the oil contained therein from the fruit, but may be used for the treatment of the kernels, the broken shells, or the stems or cores of the fruit. A rotary pan with screens or baffles which cause the fruit to collect at the circumference may also be used, the extracted oil being drained away from the centre of the pan. A travelling endless bed may be used instead of a rotary pan.

Title: Improvements relating to Electrically Operated Time Indicating Devices.
Inventor: ARON LEONARD JAMES
IPC: G04C13/11
Filed: 1911-09-12
Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 20,268. Aron, L. J., and Harrison, C. E. Sept. 12. Electric clocks.-Relates to a time-indicating device of the kind operated by alternating- current impulses, and in which one magnetic member is pivoted between the poles of a fixed member, polar extensions or horns which determine the direction of rotation being provided on one or both members. According to this invention, the horn C<1> on one or each of the poles of the fixed magnetic member C extends in a direction opposite to that of the required rotary movement of the armature F, while the horn F<1> on one or each of the poles of the armature extends in the direction of rotation. The spaces between the extensions C', F' when the parts are at rest are relatively large. In order that the armature may have definite positions of equilibrium, the air-gaps between each pair of polar extensions C', F' are graded from one or both ends as shown in Fig. 2; or, in a modification, Fig. 3, in which the positions of rest are not very definite, the ends of the fixed polar extensions are cut away at C<3>. Alternatively, the armature may be held mechanically in its positions of rest. Pieces of copper wire M, Fig. 3, passing through holes in the extensions and riveted into plates of copper M<1> may be provided, to bring the movable member to rest by generating eddy currents. In the arrangement illustrated, the fixed member C is a permanent magnet, having a magnetic shunt L across the poles, so that a considerable change in the strength of the current impulses passing through the coils of the armature F will not affect the working of the apparatus. The coils G are preferably shunted by a non-inductive shunt G', to reduce sparking. The requisite reversals of the current impulses in the coils G may be obtained from a unidirectional source bv means of a commutator carried by the armature-spindle. The member C may be magnetized by induction, or by means of a continuous current in a coil, or by means of rectified currents supplied through a commutator carried by the spindle E on which the armature is mounted. The coils G may be mounted on the fixed member, the armature in this case being a permanent magnet or its equivalent. The hands of the clock are driven by the spindle E through worm gearing E<3>, K.
