Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Alumina.
Filed: 1904-09-15
Granted: 1904-10-20
Abstract: 19,924. Compagnie des Produits Chimiques d'Alais et de la Camargue. Sept. 19, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Alumina is prepared nearly free from silica by heating the sodium-aluminate solution, obtained in one step of the manufacture, under pressure. The solution of sodium aluminate, obtained by the dry treatment of an aluminium ore, such as bauxite, with sodium hydrate or salts, and subsequent lixiviation and filtration, is heated for about three hours in any suitable apparatus under a pressure of about six kilogs. per square centimetre, either by direct firing or, preferably, by injection of high-pressure steam. Agitation of the liquid, which is advantageous, may be effected by a mechanical agitator, or by means of the heating- steam, which is conveyed by a pipe nearly to the bottom of the liquid and is allowed, for this purpose, to escape partly by a small pipe in the upper part of the apparatus. The solution is finally run off and separated from the precipitate formed, which contains nearly all the silica present and some alumina and soda.

Granted: 1905-08-17
Abstract: 22,289. Less, G. M. Oct. 17. Motor road vehicles.-Variable-speed gearing, especially applicable for motor cycles, consists of the toothed wheel C, Figs. 5 and 6, keyed to the engine shaft B, and connected with the driving-pulley D by planet-pinions F, G, the spindles of which are mounted on ball bearings in a frame consisting of two rings E united by adjustable studs e. Ball bearings are placed between the rings E and the parts C, D. Pinions H gearing with the pinions G, and interlocking either with internal teeth d on the pulley D or teeth c on the wheel C, are mounted on spindles h, moving in slots in the frame E. The spindles h have enlarged heads projecting through gaps in the flange e<1> on the frame E, and are normally pressed outwards by the spiral spring M. The brake band K surrounds the flange e', and is actuated by a right and left handed screwed spindle engaging lugs at its ends. When tightened, the band engages the heads of the spindles h, and moves the spindles out of gear with the teeth d. If the frame E be free and the pinions H out of contact with the teeth d, no motion will be imparted to the pulley D. If, then, the frame E be arrested or partially braked, the pulley D will move at a lower speed than the wheel C. When the pinions H engage the teeth d, the pinions F, G, H interlock and the parts C, D drive solid. Fig. 7 shows a modification in which a swinging toothed arm H<1> takes the place of the pinion H. The arm H<1> may be formed without teeth and then engages by frictional contact.

Abstract: 29,409. Renault, L. Oct. 1, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. The amount of carburetted air supplied to the motor is regulated by the suction. A constantlevel petrol reservoir 1 communicates with two nozzles 2, 3. The nozzle 2 opens into a chamber 5, which communicates with a chamber 6 by openings 9 regulated by a sleeve 8 attached to a spindle 10, which has at its lower end a disc 13 and at its upper end a nut 11. The spindle 10 is loaded by a spring 12 which normally keeps it in its lowest position. When the engine is running slowly, air enters by the holes 14, passes around the edge of the disc, through the openings 15, and past the nozzle 3 to the motor through the passage 4. When the speed and suction increase, additional air enters at the holes 14, thus raising the disc 13 and sleeve 8 and slightly rotating them and at the same time allowing air which has entered by the holes 16 and has been carburetted by the nozzle 2 to pass through the openings 9, 7 to the pipe 4 and thence to the motor. The greater the speed of the motor, the greater the vacuum and extent to which the openings 9 are uncovered, and the greater the quantity of carburetted air supplied.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Mechanism for Perforating the Operating Bands of Automatic Type Setting Machines and the like.
Inventor: DREWELL HEINRICH
Filed: 1907-01-24
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 1821. Drewell, H. Jan. 24. Type, setting ; typewriters and like machines.- Relates to strip perforators for preparing control strips for type-setting machines &c., the object being to obtain a quick sequence of the operations of releasing the punches, withdrawing the punches, and advancing the strip. (1) The punches are controlled by springs, weights, &c. and retained by hooks, detents, or pawls released by the keys andknown combination mechanism, and the released punches immediately operate a coupling or clutch for a single-revolution spindle effecting withdrawal of the punches and advance of the strip. Figs. 1 and 2 show the punches 1 connected with straight levers 4, which are controlled by springs 6 and retained by catches 8 released by the keys 7 and combination,mechanism 12, 14 ; the levers 4 may be omitted, or, as shown in Fig. 4, may be bellcrank levers with several arms 4<1> ... 4<1111>. When a lever 4 is released, the lever engages a frame 16 on a..spindle 17, and turns the spindle so that a cam 19 releases a pawl clutch member 21, co-operating with a constantly-rotating ratchet-wheel 25 loose on a spindle 22. The spindle 22 is provided with eccentrics 26 for returning the levers 4, and an eccentric 27 for actuating the strip-feed 33, 34 ; the pawl 21 is disengaged after one revolution by the cam 19. (2) The key mechanism is tripped from the punch detent on release of the punch. The member 14, Figs. 1 and 4, is tripped from the catch 8, on release of the lever 4, by means of a pin 15 on the end 4' of the lever. In the case of an irregular touch on the keys, it might happen that the parts 14, 8 re-engage in such a position as to prevent re-engagement of the parts 4<1>, 8, the last punching operation being consequently repeated. In order to avoid this result, the part 14 is held disengaged, during almost the entire revolution of the spindle 22, by means of a swinging frame 38, Fig. 4, operated by cams 43 on the spindle.
