Title: Improvements in the Concentration of Oxidised Ores.
Inventor: SULMAN HENRY LIVINGSTONE
IPC: B03D1/02
Filed: 1909-11-10
Granted: 1910-12-12
Abstract: 26,019. Sulman, H. L., and Picard, H. F. K. Nov. 10. [Cognate Applications, 28,612/09 and 29,616/09.] Treating ores to facilitate concentration.-In treating oxidized ores to facilitate separation by flotation, or by granulation as described in Specification 26,295/02, certain metalliferous particles are covered with a thin film of their respective sulphides. For this purpose the ore pulp is submitted to the action of sulphuretted hydrogen, a soluble sulphide, or other compound capable of yielding sulphur. If sulphuretted hydrogen be added to lead and zinc oxides suspended in acid, the lead becomes coated with sulphide; oxidized copper ore may be treated with iron pyrites or sulphur at a low temperature to convert the copper oxide into sulphide. To increase the volume and coherence of float froth, freshly precipitated sulphide may be formed in the pulp.

Patent GB-191021226-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Franking Machine.
Inventor: FISCHER FRIEDRICK AUGUST
Filed: 1910-09-12
Granted: 1911-09-12
Abstract: 21,226. Fischer, F. A., and Fischer, A. P. Sept. 12. Machines with large printing-surfaces; typelever actions.-In a franking-machine a number of levers 2 fitted with stamping-surfaces 1 are arranged radially around a block 6 on which the letter is placed. The levers 2 are depressed by means of spring - raised plunger rods 7, fitted with teeth 9, Fig. 5, which engage pinions 10 on the pivots of the levers, these pinions allowing a little free play to the levers. As the rod 7 commences to descend, a blow is given to the letter on the pad 6 by a plate 35 on a lever 32, which descends under the action of a spring 33 when its tail is released from a pin 36 on the rod 7. This prevents the use of a carbon sheet to take extra copies from the stamp. A pin 37 raises the lever 32 to normal position out of the way of the die 1, and it is held in this position by a spring 38, from which it is released by a pin 39 only when the pin 36 is in position to hold the lever, which is thus only actuated once for each actuation of the rod 7. Key interlocks. - (1) A full-stroke device for each of the rods 7 consists of a double rack 21, Fig. 6, which is moved up and down with the rod 7 by means of a pin 22 on the rod engaging a transverse slot in the rack. The rack is guided by a fixed pin 24 which engages a slot 23 in the rack and by a pin 31 which moves against a guide-plate 30. During the descent of the rod 7, a spring 25 maintains the left-hand rack 26 in gear with a pinion 28, which is fitted with a ratchet-wheel 29 capable of rotating in one direction only. The rod 7 is thus incapable of being returned until the rack 21 is moved by its spring 25 so as to cause the teeth 27 to engage the pinion 28, and the plate 30 prevents the rack from moving until the rod has reached its lowest position. (2) Where several dies are used, more than one die is prevented from being used at once by an arrangement consisting of a number of cylindrical plates 4, with openings 41<1>, provided with inclined tops 41<11> between them. The plates can move to and from each other and the combined widths of the openings 41<1> is just sufficient to allow a V-shaped block 43 on a plunger rod 7 to pass through, so that only one plunger can be operated at once. Locking-devices.-The rods 7 may be locked from movement by inserting a block between the frame and one of the end plates. Inking-pad arrangements.-The printing-surfaces 1 are engaged by inking-pads 13 swivelled in supports on spring-controlled levers 14. The end 15 of each lever 14 fits in a recess in a rod 7, and, as the rod 7 is depressed, the pad is raised so as to allow the die to descend. The pad is rotated as it moves upwards by a fixed pawl 20 which engages a ratchet 19 on the pad.

Abstract: 21,249. Rheinische Metallwaarenund Maschinenfabrik. Jan. 16, [Convention date]. Modifying physical characters of metals.- In order to produce metal blocks free from gas and blow holes, the metal, when otherwise ready for casting, is allowed to cool or solidify and is then heated as quickly as possible to a temperature only slightly above the solidifying-point, after which it is immediately cast from the same vessel in which it was solidified. The metal is run from a melting-furnace into an annular ladle R, of high and narrow cross - section, and after being allowed to cool or solidify is reheated or remelted and cast. The heating is preferably effected by mounting the ladle R so that its inner wall surrounds the magnet of a transformer; or the ladle may be permanently provided with a magnet core and primary winding.
