Patent GB-189919834-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with the Production of Pure Salt and Glauber's Salt from Brine.
Inventor: BAKER HARRY
Filed: 1899-10-03
Granted: 1900-08-18
Abstract: 19,834. Baker, H., and Haworth, E. Oct. 3. Salt, common; sodium sulphate.-Relates to purifying brine to obtain pure salt suitable for electrolytic purposes, and pure Glauber's salt. Any iron, magnesium, and calcium present are first removed in the known way by means of lime and soda ash. The brine now only contains as impurities sodium sulphate and the excess sodium carbonate, and is treated by a modification of the process described in Specification No. 21,284, A.D. 1898. It is passed through a series of evaporating- pans. In the first and some succeeding pans, pure salt, wetted with brine containing some sulphate, is precipitated ; in the later pans the salt obtained is mixed with sodium sulphate. The pure salt from the earlier pans is washed repeatedly with doses of brine, gradually containing less and less sodium sulphate in solution, and finally using quite pure brine. The pure washing-brine is used in succession for all the charges of salt, until it contains a considerable amount of sulphate, when it is used to wash the salt containing sulphate. The latter impure salt is maintained at 33‹ C. Sodium sulphate is dissolved out by the liquid, and the washing is repeated, whereby the salt is obtained pure enough to be treated as above, while the brine contains so much sulphate that the latter will deposit out on standing. The sulphate may be purified by recrystallization.

Patent GB-190001428-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Water Closets and Flushing Cisterns.
Filed: 1900-01-23
Granted: 1900-12-01
Abstract: 1428. Duckett & Son, J., Duckett, G. F., and Bullock, J. W. Jan. 23. Latrines; water-water preventers siphon-discharge. Relates to latrines or multiple closets with hand flushing-cisterns, to the pull-handles of flushing- cisterns, and to the method of lifting the plungers in such cisterns. The latrines are flushed by raising the dead weight valve L by means of the pull M, so causing the water to pass into the siphon I and the cistern G to discharge. The water passes down the fall pipe F, which has iuternal projections N, and causes air from the air chamber D to pass up the air extractor pipe E until a vacuum is formed in the air chamber. The contents of the basins A and pipes B are then siphoned through the trap C, and discharged. Siphon action from the basins and pipes is stopped when the water in the cistern descends below a pipe depending from the pipe E, but the siphon I operates until the cistern is emptied and the basins and pipes are recharged. A stop tap may be fixed in the air-extractor pipe, if required to empty the closets when not in use. The pull handle Q, Fig. 5, is in two parts, separated by the rubber ring R secured by the pin S and nut T. The plunger f, Fig. 7, is attached near the top to the lever b by bifurcated arms c.

Title: Improvements in Oil Lamps and Burners for Lighting and Heating.
Inventor: SMITH GEORGE ARBUTHNOTT
Filed: 1900-01-23
Granted: 1900-03-31
Abstract: 1491. Smith, G. A. Jan. 23. Oil burners, igniting and extinguishing.-Consists in cutting away a portion of the extinguisher b<2>, to allow the continuance of a pilot flame b<3> after the main flame has been extinguished. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the annular extinguisher b<2> is connected by wires b<1> passing freely through the flame spreader a<4> with a crosspiece b mounted on a rod B, which is raised and lowered by means of the levers b<4>, b<5>, b<6>, b<7>, the movement being assisted by a spring C. Irregular burning of the wick is prevented by turning the estinguisher b<2> from time to time, to expose a fresh portion of the wick for the pilot flame. Modifications are described in which flame spreaders #-shaped, #-shaped, or flat in crosssection, are utilized as extinguishers. With the flat form of flame spreader, the portion cut away for the pilot flame is normally closed by a spring- mounted plate, which is automatically withdrawn when the flame spreader is lowered to extinguish the main flame.

Granted: 1901-12-21
Abstract: 4309. Mills, B. J. B., [LumiÞre, A., and Lumiere, L.]. 1'eb. 28. Magiclanterns.-Relates to a panoramic camera which, with necessary modifications, may be used for optical projection. The sensitive film e, Fig. 6, is wound round a fixed central cylinder 7. The casing on which the lens d is mounted rotates on the axis g. Behind the lens are the usual screens i for throwing a narrow section of the image on the film e. To keep the image stationary on the film as the lens moves, a deflecting-prism p is mounted in front of the lens. A shutter q, consisting of a slide with an exposure aperture, is actuated by a fixed peg in the baseboard m, engaging with inclined grooves in the slide. The shutter is thus opened at the beginning. and closed at the end of each revolution. The arrangement shown in Fig. 8 for optical projection has a system of lenses and prisms 2, k, 3, and a reflector 4 for condensing the light from the source 1 upon the transparency j. When the single lens d is rotated with sufficient rapidity, a continuous image is seen on the screen. The necessary speed of rotation may be reduced by using a number of lenses mounted at equal distances round the revolving case.

Title: An Improvement in Apparatus for Rolling Plates or Bars
Inventor: HUBER SIGMUND VINCENT
Filed: 1901-08-20
Granted: 1901-10-26
Abstract: 16,731. Huber, S. V. Aug. 20. Rolling.-In a mill plant for rolling ingots into bars or plates, the ingot is transferred to directlydriven feed-rollers 2, Fig. 2, which feed it to bloom mills 3, 3<a>, whence it passes to feed rollers 5, edging-rolls 6, roughing-rolls 7, 7<a>, and edging rolls 8. The edging and roughing rolls are arranged sufficiently close to dispense with feedtables, and are suitably driven at speeds proportional to the maximum reduction effected. The rolls 3, 3<a> are driven from an engine which drives the rolls 7, 7<a>, 8, the rolls 6 beingidriven through a ratchet-clutch from the rolls 3<a>, thus allowing the rolls 6 to overrun their driving-gear when the rolls 7 are effecting less than the maximum reduction. The metal passes from the rolls 8 over feed-rollers 9, Fig. 2<A>, to the lower pass 11, 12 of a three-high mill, and thence to idle rollers 13 and feed-rollers 14. When the metal is clear of the mill, the feedrollers 14 are stopped, and a frame 30 on which the rollers 13 are mounted is raised by a power cylinder 33 and linkwork 36 to bring the rear end of the metal into contact with feed-rollers 15 which feed the metal back through the pass 12, 16 of the three-high mill to feed-rollers 17 above the rollers 9. The metal is then transferred to a parallel set of rollers 18, Fig. 4, which feed it to finishing- rolls 19. The transferring-apparatus comprises a number of arms 39, secured on a shaft 40 and projecting between and below the rollers 17. Toothed segments 41 on the shaft engage similar segments on a shaft 43, which is rocked by an arm 44 and power cylinder 47 to elevate the arms 39, allowing the metal bar &c. to travel down a slide 48 to the rollers 18. After leaving the finishing-rolls, the bars &c. are transferred to a hot-bed by any suitable means.

Abstract: 15,664. Gearing, E. July 14. Corrugating.-Relates to machinery for producing the bulblike corrugations in boiler flues described in Specification No. 21,085, A.D. 1901. The tube is first rolled to the section shown in Fig. 1, and the corrugations are then flattened out to bring the tube to the section shown in Fig. 2, after which the bulb-like form of corrugation shown in Fig. 3 is produced. The section shown in Fig. 3 may be produced from that shown in Fig. 1, by a mill such as shown in Figs. 4 and 6. The flattening is effected by the rolls h, i, the tube being guided by the side rolls j. At each side of the roll h is a pair of bars such as shown at m in Fig. 7. Each bar has a series of inclined rollers r, rotating on or with short spindles s. The spindles in one of each pair of bars are inclined in the opposite direction to those in the other. The bars are screwed through nuts, which can be rotated , through gearing to bring the rollers r to the distance apart necessary to produce the bulb-like section required. The bars are mounted in blocks o, o', which can be raised in the slides p, p<1> by means of hydraulic or other gear. In a modification, the rolls h, i are made in short lengths, which can be held at the desired distance apart by screw gear.
