Title: Improvements relating to the Separating of Powdered Material.
Inventor: PLATH GUSTAV
IPC: B07B4/04
Filed: 1911-01-07
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 496. Plath, G. Jan. 7. Pneumatic separating. - In a pneumatic process for separating fine powdered material such as colour stuff, the material is fed by a roller c, Fig. 1, from a hopper a fitted with a regulator b into a chamber m, and falls in front of a stepped series of nozzles f<1>, f<2>, f<3>, f<4>, the lower lips of which project so as to form ledges n<1>, n<2>, n<3> which arrest the falling material and at the same time guide the air current and the finer material into passages g<1>, g<2>, g<3> between inclined baffle plates l', l<2>, l<3>. The velocity of the air current is diminished as it passes upwards, and the finer particles are carried up through the chamber m and down by a passage r to a receptacle o, while the coarser material deposited in the chamber m is discharged by a screw h. In a modification shown in Fig. 2, the air enters bv a nozzle 1 and is guided upwardly by the bottom 3 and side wall 4 into a chamber 5, the walls of which are formed partly of porous material 8<a>, 8<b>, 8<c> through which some of the air passes into passages 7<a>, 7<b> leading back to the fan 11 The material is fed in by a worm 2, and the finer particles are carried through the passages 5<a>, 5b, 5<c> to the receptacle o, while the coarser material collects in the V-shaped chamber 5 and is discharged by a worm 6. Fig. 4 shows another arrangement, in which the heavier particles carried up by the air current are directed by a curved extension m<3> at the upper end of the division - plate m<2> into a hopper formed by the walls m<4>, m<5>, whence they are returned to the separating-chamber by a roller c<1> to be again acted upon by the air currents entering at the nozzles f<1>, f<2>, f<3>. The lighter particles are carried up through the throat r, bend m<6>, and passage p to the receptacle o; the feed-hopper a is fitted with a feed-roller c, and the separating-chamber with a delivery worm h.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Systems and Apparatus for Instruction in Signalling.
Inventor: FOX CHARLES EDWARD
IPC: G09B19/00
Filed: 1911-09-27
Granted: 1912-09-12
Abstract: 21,362. Fox, C. E. Sept. 27. Flag signals; instruction apparatus. - A screen is painted to represent a stretch of country &c., and is provided with apertures through which miniature signalling - devices are projected and operated from behind the screen. Fig. 4 shows apparatus for Morse - code flagsignalling. The sleeve 28 is adapted to slide up and down the pillar 23, a pin 32 working in a slot limiting its movements, and attached to it is a cord passing round a pulley and attached to a spring. The pulley is fixed on a spindle projecting through the screen and carrying an arm with a flag 27, this flag being caused to dip as required by pressing down the sleeve 28, the differentiation between dots and dashes being made easy by making the spring-resistance to a large movement much greater than that to a small one. Fig. 8 shows a code-flag signalling-device in which four disks 39 loose on a single axle have representations of flags painted on their peripheries adapted to be exposed through apertures in the screen. The letters &c. represented by the flags are marked on the bevelled portions of the wheels, not immediately over the corresponding flag, but so arranged that when any letter is opposite the pointer 44, the flag is exposed through the aperture. For flash signalling, electric lamps are provided clipped between the screen and spring contact-pieces. Semaphore-arm signalling-devices are also provided, and the screen may be formed with sections, provided with apertures, which may be removed to allow of the sighting of an ordinary heliograph, the section being then replaced. The size of all the signalling-devices is made to correspond with the apparent distance at which it is situated, and the heliograph and lamp signalling apertures may be made adjustable. The screen may be made in the form of a curved surface receding away from the observer at its upper portion, and a sky-screen may be used.

Abstract: 2889. Beech, J. Feb. 5. Engines combined with internal - combustion engines. - Relates to a combined steam and internal-combustion engine wherein the end 2 of the cylinder through which the piston-rod passes acts as the steam portion, the other end acting as a two - stroke internal - combustion engine. Steam is distributed to the ends 2 of the cylinders, Fig. 1. by flat slide valves which also control the exhaust from the upper ends of the cylinders, and which are set, or their upper steam edges 4 lengthened, to close the upper end of the cylinders to steam. When admission begins, a steam air injector 5 injects steam and air into the upper end of the cylinders through ports 6 controlled by the pistons. During the up-strokes, this mixture is compressed, and liquid fuel injected through atomizers placed in the upper cylinder covers. The engine starts as a steam-engine, the fuel injection being started and controlled by .the steam chest pressure. The piston is concave or inwardly dished to form a combustion chamber.

Abstract: 17,427. Rigby, T., and Wetcarbonising, Ltd. July 26. Concentric tube apparatus. - Heat - interchanging apparatus for effecting wet - carbonizing or similar heattreatment of pulped peat comprises serpentine concentric tubes connected to a mixing- vessel u. Cold viscous pulp is first supplied to the inner tube f, which offers less resistance than the annular jacket b, through which from c to c may flow a counter - current of warm effluent from filterpresses in which the product is partly dried. In the next tube j, the raw pulp is further heated regeneratively by the wet-carbonized pulp traversing a jacket on its way to an outlet l. The raw pulp thus warmed is supplied to the jacket n of the next tube x and is heated by and acts as a lagging for the wetcarbonized material flowing therein from the mixing vessel u. In the final heating tubes, the pulp is supplied to the central tube at q and returns upon itself through a tube r enclosed by a steam jacket s, which may have internal spirals to increase the transfer of heat. Stationary agitating-means may be provided in the tubes, such as coned constrictions or spiral insertions, or indented tubes may be used.
