Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 12,871. Boeckel, A., Grunberg, O., and Luxembourg, E. June 16. Compressed - a i r engines. - Two rotary engines each comprising a rotary casing a, a cylindrical piston k revolving upon a fixed eccentric h and an abutment m fixed to the piston and sliding and rocking between packings p in the recess n of the casing, are fixed to a central partition e which also serves as driving- belt pulley. The engines are driven by compressed carbonic-acid gas which is admitted through the channel x in the hollow shaft, and the pipes q<1>, r1, to the ports g, r of the working chambers, and is exhausted from the right-hand engine chamber through the passage f into the left - hand engine chamber and thence together with the exhaust from the latter chamber through the port s, pipe s1, and the channel y. The eccentrics h are placed at an angle of 180 degrees with one another. Fig. 1 shows the manner of supplying the gas. The gas passes from the supply reservoir 1 through a heater 8, a reservoir 9, and a second heater 10, to the engine M. When exhausted from the engine, it passes along the pipe 12 to a chamber 3 around the pin valve 4 and a jacket 14, where it is used to prevent the fresh gas from freezing as it expands. It finally escapes through the pipe 15.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Quebracho Extract
Inventor: REDLICH ALBERT
Filed: 1908-10-10
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 21,483. Redlich, A., and Pollak, L. Oct. 10. [Patent of Addition to No. 4358, A.D. 1908.] Tannins and tannic liquors.-Relates to a modification of the method of clarifying quebracho extract described in Specification No. 4358, A.D. 1908. According to the original Specification, the extract is clarified by the addition of a portion of an alkaline solution of its insoluble sediment, the remainder of the alkaline solution being rendered useful for tanning-purposes by admixture with solutions of acid tanning-materials, with or without the addition of free acid to obtain the desired neutralization. According to the present invention, the separate treatment of a portion of the dissolved sediment is avoided. The hot solution of the quebracho wood is concentrated to about 15‹ Be. and is mixed with the whole of the alkaline solution of its mud, the resins and only slightly soluble tanning- materials being thereupon precipitated. Sufficient hydrochloric acetic, or other acid is then added, to neutralize the alkali employed, and the sediment is stirred, no solution of acid barks being used. The resulting sediment contains all the resins and only a very small proportion of the slightly-soluble tanning-materials, which, if required for use in clarifying further quantities of liquor, may be dissolved by means of alkali as before.

Patent GB-190908315-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrically Operated Valves.
Inventor: WATERMAN ISAAC GEORGE
IPC: F16K31/06
Filed: 1909-04-06
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 8315. Waterman, I. G. April 6. Actuating valves and. c o c k s. - A valve 4 is opened and closed by alternate excitations of an electromagnet 15. The circular armature 18 is placed between a fixed partition 24 and the upper end of the magnet. It is secured to an iron t u b 19, which slides within the hollow iron core 16 of the magnet. The armature and tube are held normally in the top position by springs 41 interposed between the partition and the heads of pins, 34, 35, which are fixed to the armature and pass through holes in the partition. A spindle 20 rests upon the top of a valve spindle 3, which is pressed upwards by a spring. A reduced portion 33 at the end of the spindle corresponds to a hole 32 in a plate 27, which is fitted to slide laterally in the fixed partition. The spindle is moved downwards with the armature tube 19 by contact of this with a collar 21 on the spindle. Two plates 46, 47 are pivoted on the upper side of the slide plate 27. In the position shown in Fig. 1, when the armature descends, the plate 37, forming the heads of the pins 35, contact with the plate 37 and force the slide plate 27 over to the left. On the next descent, the plate 36, which forms the heads of the pins 34, contacts with the plate 46 and forces the plate 27 over to the right. In the former of these movements, the valve is open, and so is not further affected by the downward movement of the tube 19, but, during that movement, the slide 27 is moved over to the left, and, on the return of the armature and tube, the valve and valve spindle rise, since the hole 32, previously out of register to keep the valve open, is now in register with the end of the spindle 20, and the reduced end 33 can pass into it. In the next descent of the armature &c., the valve is opened by means of the collar 21, and the slide 27 is moved over to the right, so that it prevents the valve spindle from rising when the armature &c. returns. In order that any inexactness of the timing of the cross movement of the slide shall not cause the parts to jam, the hole 32 is made in a piece 30 sliding in a recess in the plate 27. This piece is normally held in position by a spring. The pivots of the plates 46, 47 support a four-legged frame 52 on which are placed the words " on " and " off." One or other of these is visible through a hole in the cover - plate 13 to indicate the position of the valve.

Title: Electrolytic Production of Light Metals, and particularly Sodium.
Inventor: SEWARD GEORGE OULTON
Filed: 1910-05-05
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 11,175. Seward, G. O., K³gelgen, F. von, and Bidder, F. von. May 10, 1909, [Convention date]. Fused electrolytes, apparatus for. - In the production of sodium and other light metals, a cooled salt-encrusted partition n is situated between a large cathode c, which projects upwards through the bottom of the cell, and a surrounding anode or anodes b. The partition is preferably made of two separate coils of seamless copper tubing, each covered with two or more layers of asbestos twine. The cathode may be of cast iron; its active area is limited by a cooled coil d, and the current is regulated so as to keep the salt hot within the partition, and to facilitate ascent of reduced metal. Additional heat is supplied if necessary by alternating current between the main electrodes or between one of these and small iron rods. The metal floats within the partition n and overflows through a sleeve c<1> which projects into the cathode. The flow may be fast enough to keep the metal liquid in a pot e, from which it may be tapped into ladles containing paraffin. The interior of the cathode is connected by a pipe k<1> with the space above the metal layer, and by a pipe k and kerosene seal with the atmosphere. The anodes b of carbon or graphite are covered by the electrolyte and by the lining of the cell, which may consist of a mixture of fire-clay, asbestos, and cement; they are supplied with current through graphite pencils b<1>. An insulated iron cover is provided with a central plug, working holes, and an outlet pipe o for chlorine, which may be under slightly reduced pressure. The current density may be 10 amperes per square inch of the active cathode surface of iron and sodium. The salt is mixed with fluxes so as to melt at about 600‹ C., and may be preliminarily refined by fusion in an electric furnace.
