Title: Process of Recovering Nickel from Silicious Ores.
Inventor: CHALAS ADOLPHE
Filed: 1908-09-04
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 18,596. Chalas, A. Sept. 6, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Nickel, obtaining.-Nickel is recovered from nickel-iron silicate ores, free from copper, by smelting the ore, preferably in an electric furnace, removing the iron as far as possible from the ferro-nickel so obtained, for example, by bessemerizing, and casting the alloy into anodes, from which nickel is deposited on sheet-nickel cathodes immersed in a nickel-ammonium salt solution, preferably the double sulphate. To remove the dissolved iron the electrolyte is continuously circulated through a filter containing a precipitating- agent such as nickelic hydroxide, whereby ferric hydroxide is precipitated and nickel sulphate is dissolved so as to strengthen the electrolyte. The nickelic hydroxide used to precipitate the iron is made by electrolytically dissolving ferro-nickel anodes, such as those obtained in the first part of the process, in an aqueous solution of an alkali salt, for example, sodium chloride, preferably contained in a divided cell, and having cathodes of nickel or iron. The sodium hydroxide solution produced at the cathode is mixed outside the cell with the nickel and iron chlorides formed at the anode, the iron salt being present in small quantity ; nickelous and ferrous hydroxides are precipitated and sodium chloride dissolves and regenerates the electrolyte. The nickelous and ferrous hydroxides are collected in a filter press and converted into nickelic and ferric hydroxides by peroxidation with an alkali hypochloride made by electrolyzing a cold dilute solution of an alkali chloride, and the product is ready for reuse in the process. A set of filters for containing the precipitating- agent may be used to render the process continuous. The precipitated ferric hydroxide which gradually replaces the nickelic hydroxide in the filters may be calcined to colcothar.

Abstract: 27,880. Seymour, R. C. Dec. 22. Set-off, preventing; overlays; rotary machines.- A rotary perfecting-machine is constructed with devices for preventing set-off which are adapted to allow high-grade work to be effected at high speeds by preventing damage to the formes and the spoiling of impressions by means of caked ink on the set-off devices. The set-off web is itself provided with a device for preventing set-off, and it is capable of being reversed so as to ensure its being cleaned by the second device for preventing set-off. As shown in Fig. 1, a set-off web 5 is passed from a roll 6 between the printed web 3 and an impression cylinder 1, which co-acts with a forme cylinder 2 to effect the second printing. The cylinder 1 is fitted with a tympan sheet, or preferably a series of tympan sheets 12 which may be fixed or movable as desired. The web 5 is wound up by known means such as friction rolls 10 which act on the winding-roll 8. When the roll is completely wound, the web 5 may be reversed by withdrawing the support 7 of the roll 6 and substituting the wound-up roll for the roll 6. At the second running of the web 5, any ink on it is taken up by the tympans 12. The mechanism for moving the tympans 12 to adjustable extents is similar to that described in Specification No. 5352, A.D. 1890. The tympans 12, or the cylinder 1, may be oiled by means of an oil-wiping means consisting of rolls 16, a fountain with a roll 15, and a cam-actuated vibrating roll 17, which may be brought into operation when desired by moving the whole device towards the cylinder 1 by means of a screw-threaded rod 19, which moves the device in guides 18. Normally the tympans 12 are moved slowly, but if the tympans are used without the web 5 their speed may be increased. The tympans may be made inoperative by a covering, or they may be wound into the cylinder.

Patent GB-190919708-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Spring Suspensions for Railway Vehicles and the like.
Inventor: HAJDU MAURICE
IPC: B61F5/32

Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 19,708. Hajdu, M., and Sarlos, E. Aug. 27. Springs, arrangement of and mounting undercarriages on.-In order to enable railway vehicles &c. to negotiate curves without the use of pivoted bogies &c., the connexions between the vehicle frame and the opposite ends of each bearing-spring are constructed so as to yield laterally to unequal extents to allow for the radial action, while the longitudinal yielding of these connexions due to the compression of the spring is the same at each end of the spring so as to ensure smooth running. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement of spring suspension for end axles, in which the outer end of the spring is capable of yielding laterally owing to the movement of the shackle P N about the bolt N<1>; at the other end of the spring there is no shackle provided for lateral movement. The shackles A B, M P, which yield longitudinally, are of equal length. In a modification, the connexion at the outer end of the spring is constructed as shown at R S, Fig. 3, to yield both laterally and longitudinally, while the connexion at the inner end of the spring is of the same length but allows only longitudinal yielding, lateral movement being prevented by arranging between the two links C D, Figs. 5 and 6, forming the connexion, a block h fixed to the spring bolt a. To allow for the lateral movement at the outer end of the spring, however, the eye at the inner end of the spring is made somewhat wider than the bolt c passing therethrough, and the inner faces b of the links C D are rounded off. A corresponding amount of play is also allowed between the axle-boxes and their guides. A number of diagrams are shown in the Specification to indicate various amounts of lateral and longitudinal yielding which may be provided at the ends of the springs. In the case of a vehicle with four axles, the springs of the two outer axles have the greater lateral movement at their outer ends, as before, but the springs of the two inner axles have this greater lateral movement at the inner ends, as indicated in Fig. 13, in which the parts of the end connexions which yield both laterally and longitudinally are indicated by double lines, while the parts yielding longitudinally only are indicated by single lines. In this case, the radial action may be further facilitated by connecting the ends of each pair of axles by parallel rods z at each side of the car, as shown in Fig. 13. The rods z may be connected to the axle-boxes, as indicated in Fig. 1.

Abstract: 24,274. Craig, D., and Craig Co., D. Oct. 22. Closet basins; closet seats; closets, ventilating. -A skirt 7 is formed upon the basin to rest upon a base 14. Bosses 16<b> surround three openings 17 in the base, of which one is connected to a flue, and all serve to keep the skirt 7 in place. Air is drawn from the basin along passages 9, 8 into a chamber 20 and out into the flue. The chamber 20 serves to accommodate a flushing-valve, which is connected to a chamber 9<1>, and thus to the rim. Sockets 10 are moulded in the top of the basin for the reception of flattened trunnions 11 on the seat 12. When the seat is vertical, the trunnions are passed through passages 10<b>. When in the sockets 10, the trunnions will rotate so that the seat can be turned down upon the basin. The seat can thus be removed and a shaft 13 utilized as a " slop-seat " for vessels. Both sides are alike, so that the seat is reversible. The connexion between the basin and the soil-pipe is sealed by water or mercury.

Abstract: 24,725. Sheldon, S. B. Oct. 27. Stoking.-Mechanically-operated pokers for stirring-up the bed of fuel in a gas-producer are carried on a rotating top and are so connected up with the operating-mechanism that they hang vertically when out of the fuel. The rotary top 14 is supported on rollers running on the flange 19 of an annular trough 20 adapted to contain liquid, with which a depending flange 27 makes a seal. The top is rotated through live rollers driven from a motor 57 by spur and bevel gearing. The pokers 31, of which in the present case two are provided, at different distances from the centre, are carried in the forked ends of bell-crank levers 38, 39 supported on a shaft 36 carried by standards on the top. The levers are oscillated to raise and lower the pokers by connecting-rods 42connected to crankarms on a spur pinion 46. This pinion is driven through reducing gear from the motor, and drives through spur and bevel gearing the live supporting-rollers. The forked ends of the supporting-lever 38 engage with trunnions on a collar 60 which fits loosely round the poker stem, and a screw attachment 64, 66 is provided to allow the poker to be adjusted relatively to its support. A stuffing-box 71 prevents escape of gas. A liquid seal between the poker and the rotary top is provided by a trough 75 into which dips a deep flange 80 formed on the collar 60. The pokers are water-cooled, the liquid being supplied through a central pipe 95 and being drawn off through the annular space between the pipe and the poker stem. The overflew fills a shallow receptacle formed on the top 14 by a rim 27, and the troughs 20, 75, and is drawn off through the pipe 100.

Abstract: 29,844. Rogers, J. R. Feb. 20, [Convention date]. Ejecting type - bars; driving - mechanism; moulds.-When the length of the mould slot is reduced, the operation of the machine is prevented unless the ejector blade is replaced by one which can pass through the mould. The parts are described as applied to the machine described in Specification 14,582/90. An ejector blade E detachably connected to an actuating slide F by spring fingers, as described in Specification 9858/96, and co-operating with a mould C, is driven from a cam I by means of a lever H connected to the slide F by a link G. A spring-controlled laterally swinging stop-dog K carried bv the cam I acts after the machine has completed a cycle of operations, on a lever L. which through levers M, N throws the main driving-clutch out of action to arrest the casting-mechanism. The dog K stands normally in a position to encounter the lever L, and is moved aside to start the machine by means of a starting-lever 0 acted upon by a bar extending to the front of the machine. The parts so far described are of ordinary construction. According to the invention, the lever H is arranged so that the machine stops while the forward end of the ejector-blade E is still in the mould. When the mould slot is to be reduced, the ejector is first removed from the mould by pushing back a rod Q which extends to the front of the machine and is connected to the lever H. A projection q on the rod thereupon rocks a vertical lever R, the lower arm of which is moved into the path of the lateral swing of the dog K. The dog K is thus locked to prevent the starting of the machine. If the attendant fails to change the ejector in accordance with the reduced mould, the ejector cannot enter the mould and the rod Q continues to hold the lever R so as to lock the dog K. In a modification, a pivoted spring- controlled triangular plate is swung horizontally by the rear end of the ejector slide F when the slide is moved by hand in the usual manner to withdraw the ejector from the mould. The plate is locked so as to hold the dog K over the lever L and prevent the machine from being started.
