Title: Improved Method of Producing Formaldehyde Vapours for Disinfecting Purposes.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER HANS
Filed: 1908-03-03
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 4855. Schneider, H. March 18, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Formaldehyde for use in disinfecting rooms is produced by treating a compound of formaldehyde containing sulphur oxides in an oxidizable form, in the presence of water, with permanganate or other per-salt. Formaldehyde or its polymeric forms may also be present in solution. In an example, a compound of formaldehyde and sodium bisulphite is prepared by mixing solutions of the two compounds. By the action of permanganate on this compound in solution, a strong generation of formaldehyde and steam occurs.

Filed: 1908-06-13
Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 12,711. Pulsford, F. C. June 13. Water, purifying.-Crude water is delivered by a pipe 6 into a tipping-vessel 5 mounted on an axle 7 and having compartments or subsidiary vessels 5<a>, 5<b>, into which the liquid passes through pipes 8. When the vessel is tipped proportional quantities are discharged into compartments 4, 4<a>, 4<b> of a receiving- chamber and pass thence to a reaction tank and to chemical vessels. A valve 10 on the pipe 6 is closed, while the tipping-vessel is discharging, either by means of an arm on the vessel 5 or the axle 7 connected by links to the lever 11, or, as shown in Fig. 5, by means of a quadrant 15 and connexion 16. The balance of the tipping-vessel may be adjusted by moving weights 24 along screwed rods attached to the vessel 5 or along a lever 25 on the axle. To vary the relative capacity of the compartments 5, 5<a>, 5<b> bodies of known volume supported therein are raised or lowered on screwed rods. Instead of using pipes 8 the spindle 7 may be made hollow with apertures opening into the compartments. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 6, the valve 10 is omitted and the tipping-vessel is divided by a partition 17, the water being delivered alternately to either side. The spindle is hollow and divided longitudinally by a partition 21.

Liquids, treating; cells; connexions; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating. - Water or other liquid is purified by the action of an electric current, which is periodically reversed, and is started and stopped synchronously with the flow of liquid. The electrodes are connected in circuit with a commutator 26, a motor 29, and a switch 23 actuated by a spring-valve 21 in the supply pipe. The motor is geared to the commutator so as to reverse the polarity of the electrodes at intervals of, say, 30 minutes. A number of aluminium electrodes 1, Fig. 4, are spaced in grooved longitudinal plates 5 of glass or other insulating-material closed by side plates 6 of glass &c., the space between the electrode chamber so formed and the casing 7 being filled with cement or the like. The ends of the casing 7 are closed by removable heads 9, 11, Fig. 1, the upper end having an inlet 10, the area of cross-section of which is equal to the total crosssectional area of the passages between the electrodes. The head 11 carries an outlet which communicates with a T-fitting having a side wash-out pipe 14 controlled by a valve 15 and also connected to a valve-controlled pipe 16, which may lead to the service pipe, but is preferably connected to a vertical mixing- chamber 18 of greater cross-sectional area than that of the inlet 10, in which the liquid flows at a diminished rate and the action of the gases formed in the electrode chamber is prolonged. The intermediate electrodes 1 are bipolar, only the outer plates having terminals. Any number of units, each consisting of a casing 7 and a mixing-chamber 18, may be connected in series

Granted: 1911-01-05
Abstract: 3762. Mascord, G. W. Feb. 15. Vertical-cutter type for cutting sheet material in direction of feed; traversing-cutter type for cutting rectilinearly.-In a machine for cutting webs of paper, textile fabric, &c. into sheets, the web is wound upon bars o mounted between two disks h so as to be adjustable towards and away from the spindle a to vary the length of the sheet cut, and is then cut by a saw or a rotary traversing cutter s, which engages a slot in one of the bars o, or a space between two such bars. The bars o are secured to radial slots or ledges on the disks h; and the spindle a may be turned by a motor p or a handle. The cutter s is carried by a frame slidable along a spindle b, and is driven by bevel-wheels s<1>, s<2>, the wheel s' being slidable on the driven spindle b. The reel of paper &c. to be cut may be supported between revoluble coned centres carried by non-revoluble shafts d mounted in bearings having a hinged upper part. Means may be provided for cutting the web into narrower webs before winding on the rods d. These means comprise disk cutters f<1> mounted on a shaft f carried by arms f<2> rotatably mounted on a rod e, and adjustable towards and away from rollers g<1> on a shaft g. The rollers g<1> have cutting-edges coacting with the cutters f<1>, and may correspond to the width of web to be cut, or be built of sections. The driving- mechanism comprises a motor p and a fixed pulley x, and two loose pulleys on the shaft b, one of the loose pulleys being geared to drive the winding-spindle a. When the striking-lever w is used to shift the belt from the pulley x to the last-mentioned loose pulley, the winding- frame is locked with the slotted rod o<2> opposite the cutter s. This is done by means of a lever w<1> connected by a link w<2> to the lever w, and having a bent extremity which engages a recess or stop on the disk h.
