Title: Improved Procees for the Enriching of Calcareous Ores.
Inventor: LEDUC ERNEST
Filed: 1904-06-06
Granted: 1904-07-07
Abstract: 12,797. Leduc, E., and Griffiths, C. June 6. Treating ores.-Calcareous ores, such as calcareous zinc and lead ores, are enriched by dissolving out the lime with a solution of sugar. Poor calcareous calamine, for instance, is calcined until it is free from carbonic anhydride and slaked to hydrate the lime, which is then extracted in a stirring-apparatus with a hot or cold solution of sugar, molasses, &c. The residue contains the zinc. The solution of saccharate of lime is regenerated for re-use by precipitating the lime with carbonic anhydride, which may be that obtained by calcining the ore. Sufficient lime should be left in the solution to prevent fermentation.

Title: A New or Improved Electric Device adapted for Circuit Closing, Indicating, Power Transmitting and other purposes.
Inventor: ANDERS GEORGE LEE
Filed: 1904-11-05
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 23,971. Anders, G. L., and Byng, M. Nov. 5. Signals, electric. - Relates to a contrivance which may be used as an indicator or signal, Fig. VIII, the indications being colours or strokes upon gongs &c. A plate, disc, cross, or other like body, centrally pivoted, is rocked by the action, upon magnets or pieces of magnetic material at or near its edge, of electromagnets placed below the disc &c. A conducting-pin 3, Fig. IV, placed in the axis of the disc, makes contact with contacts 6, when current is passed through the electromagnet 2. The pin 3 may be deflected in a direction intermediate between the directions of two contiguous electromagnets by energizing the electromagnets at the same time. The number of separate contacts 6, which may be contacted with by the pin 3, may be further increased by suitable guides. The pin may be deflected by energizing an electromagnet or electromagnets, so as to strike against the spring-controlled guide 7, Fig. VI, and then, by energizing other electromagnets, the pin 3, carrying with it the guide 7, may be made to make contact at 12 or 15. Fig. IX shows another form of guide ; by suitable currents the pin may be moved first in the direction y and then in the direction z, or in a direction determined by turning the guide. The armatures on the disc 1, Fig. IV, may be permanent magnets, and the action may be by repulsion instead of attraction. The disc 1 itself may be of magnetic material. The contrivance may be used as a selective switch or relay, or as an indicator or signal, Fig. VIII, the indications being colours or strokes upon gongs &c., or it may serve for simple mechanical operations.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Boiler Feeders
Inventor: FINCH CLARK ETHAN
Filed: 1905-03-17
Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 5666. Finch, C. E. March 17. Feed-water, supplying.-In a gravity-feed apparatus, the feed-tank H, having an inlet check valve A, communicates with the boiler through valves B, B<2>, connected by a rod R, on which slides a float F. When the float falls, catches C engage with a shoulder on the rod and keep the valves B, B<2> open until, the water level rising, the top of the float strikes the lower arms of the catches and allows the spring s to restore the valves to their seats. When the valves B, B<2> are open, the inlet valve A is closed by the steam pressure, and the water in the tank flows by gravity into the boiler. When the valves are closed, the steam in the tank condenses, and water again enters it through the valve A. The lower valve B<2> is preferably slightly larger than the upper valve B. In the Figure, the feed-tank is shown fitted with U-tubes through which exhaust steam circulates in order to heat the feed-water.

Title: Improvements in Dynamo-electric Machines Provided with Commutators.
Filed: 1905-11-18
Granted: 1906-11-17
Abstract: 23,839. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.] Nov. 18. Armatures; commutators; sparking, preventing. -Relates to dynamo-electric machines and particularly to alternating-current motors, the armatures of which are provided with a number of independent windings distributed in the same slots and connected to successive commutator segments, the width of the brushes being chosen so that no single winding is ever short-circuited. The commutator leads are so connected to the several coils forming the windings that the induced voltage at each lead corresponds in phase to the angular position of the commutator segment to which it is connected. For this purpose adjacent leads are connected to the respective coils at points differing in position by a number of turns bearing the same ratio to the number of turns in a coil that unity bears to the number of independent windings in a slot. In Fig. 2, three armature windings A, A<1> A<11>, each composed of two coils of three turns each, are superposed in each slot, and are connected to the commutator segments c by leads a, a', a<11> joined respectively to the first, second, and third turns of the coils A, A', A<11>. In order that the reactances of the different windings may be equal, the windings A, A', A<11> are preferably placed side by side in the slots, Fig. 3, instead of being superposed as in Fig. 2. In Fig. 1, the armature has two windings A, A' connected by leads a, a<1> to the commutator segments. The leads a are connected to the beginning of each coil of the winding A, but the leads a<1> are joined to the middle of the several coils of the winding A<1>. The phase of the voltage induced between any adjacent pair of leads a is that of the voltage induced in the single coil connected to those leads, while the phase of the voltage between a pair of leads a<1> is half - way between the phases of the voltages induced in two adjacent coils, so that a regular progression of phase at the commutator segments is obtained.

Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 26,373. Thompson, W. P., [Derivet, H. R.]. Dec. 18. Carburetting.-In a carburetting gas lamp, the air is carburetted by passing through a p o r o u s material, preferably corrugated sheets of blotting paper 3 wound concentrically as shown in Fig. 3, impregnated with petrol spirit or other hydrocarbon. The admission of fresh air to the chamber 25 and the admission of carburetted air to the central tube 9 leading to the burner are regulated s i m u l - taneously by means of registering holes 13, 14 and 15, 16, respectively, the regulation being effected by rotation of the central tube 9 by means of an arm 23. Fans 17, 18 are provided in the upper part of the tube 9 to mix the gases thoroughly. A small spiral tube 19 communicates with the tube 9 at the upper end and with the carburetting-chamber at the lower end, and retains a charge of carburetted air, which ignites easily when a match is applied and thus starts the lamp.

Sights and methods of sighting.- An auxiliary telescopic or other sight A, Fig. 1, for use in connexion with the training-gear, is mounted upon a stem a in a socket b<2> on a quadrant B pivoted at c to a standard C, which is attached to the floor or other part of the gun - platform or turret and is entirely independent of the gun. The quadrant is guided upon the standard C by a flange b<1> and is provided with a rack b, so that by means of the handwheel D and gearing d', d, b the sight may be levelled. The stem a is connected at its lower end to a deflexionarm E, shown in plan in Fig. 4. The arm E is separately adjusted for drift and for speed of ship, wind pressure, &c., the former adjustment being made by rotating the handle e<8> on the drift dial E<2>, whereby the spindle e<3> is caused to screw into, or out of, the thread e' in the bracket bx, the worm e<1> being thus moved in an axial direction without rotation. The second adjustment is made by rotating the deflexion dial E', which is connected by a rectangular boss e<15> to the sleeve e' of the worm e<1>. A device, consisting of a sleeve e<10> having a finger e" engaged in a slot e<12>, prevents frictional rotation of the worm e<1> when the dial E' is rotated. In modifications, the dial E<2> is connected by a rack-and-pinion device to the spindle e<3>, the quadrant B is inverted or arranged in a substantially horizontal position, or the quadrant is dispensed with and the sight and deflexion arm are mounted upon a carrier which is traversed by a rack-and-pinion upon a curved guide on the standard C.
