Granted: 1913-04-11
Abstract: 8626. Mills, T. A., and Kent, F. W. April 11. Kinematograph apparatus. - A positive film for use without colour screens is obtained from a single negative exposed through recurring colour screens by printing all the images taken through the same colour screen in juxtaposition on the same sensitive coating, re-sensitising either on the back or front of the film, and printing all the images obtained through the second colour screen, and similarly for the images obtained through the third colour screen if three colours are used. The printing is done with the aid of a feed-mechanism which feeds the negative film two or three steps as required to one step of the positive film. Specification 28,081/11 is referred to

Title: Process and Apparatus for Recovering Zinc from Slags, Ores, and other Zinciferous Materials.
Inventor: TIMM FRIEDRICH CARL WILHELM
IPC: C22B19/30
Filed: 1913-03-04
Granted: 1913-10-09
Abstract: 5438. Timm, F. C. W. March 7, 1912, [Convention date]. Metallurgical furnaces.-A zinc-oxide fume is obtained from zinc slags, residues, ores, &c., by passing a blast of heating-gases downwards through the material, to which have been added substances which favour the separation of the zinc, such as lime, calcium carbonate, oxygen compounds of iron, silica, fluor spar, heavy spar, &c., or reducing-agents such as iron or carbon. The materials are charged through a door A on to a water-cooled pipe grate B with a waterjacket C, and air is blown in through tuyÞres supplied by a pipe G. Solid fuel may be mixed with the charge, or liquid, gaseous, or powdered fuel may be injected with the blast, in which case only lime need be added to the charge. The fume of zinc oxide is withdrawn by a pipe E, and the slag which falls upon plates D is removed by allowing them to fall, after which they are raised again by counterweights. In a modification, the fume is carried upwards by pipes E and delivered through openings O to a chamber in which the charge is preheated, the fume finally escaping by a pipe at the top. The furnace chamber is separated from the preheater by an arch J resting on water-cooled side walls, to which doors K for admitting the charge are hinged. Air may be admitted to the preheater to burn any carbonic oxide that may be present.

Abstract: 25,295. Lockwood, M. H. Nov. 5. Tabulating - mechanism. -Relates to tabulating- mechanism of the kind comprising a series of cclumn stops at letterspace distance apart and individually adjustable to co-operate with the usual key - actuated denominational stops. The column stops are in the form of split rings 4, Fig. 8, provided with integral radial lugs 5, 6, and are mounted on a rock-shaft 8, Fig. 2, between spacers 9, Fig. 9, provided with interlocking hub projections 10, 11. The two end spacers are pinned or otherwise made fast to the shaft 8, so that the interlocked spacers cannot turn relatively to the shaft, whereas the stops 4 are free to turn for setting, but the split ends 7 are sprung apart to provide sufficient friction against the spacers so that the stops normally turn with the shaft. The shaft is mounted in brackets 2, 3 on the papercarriage and can be rocked in either direction, respectively to set the stops individually by contact of the lug 5 against a projection on a finger 12 carried on the bracket A of the denominational stops 1, and to restore all the set stops simultaneously by contact of the lugs 6 against a bar 14 carried on the brackets 2, 3. A pointer 16 on the finger 12 co-operates with a scale 15 on the bar 14 to facilitate setting. The shaft is rocked by means of a finger-lever 17, Figs. 2 and 6, on a hub 23, against a spring returning-action ; as shown, a single spring 18 is coiled round the hub 23 and cooperates with pins 19, 21 on the hub and pins 20, 22 on a support 24 fast to the bracket 3, to return the shaft in either direction. Stops 31, 32 on the support 24 limit the movement of the lever 17. To prevent overthrow in the return movement, arms 29, 30 on the lever 17 co-operate with the stops 31, 32, and the lever 17 is pivoted at 25 to an arm 26 on the hub 23 and has a pin-and-slot lost-motion connexion 27, 28 with the arm 26.

A recording sound-box 1 connected by a tube 2 with the usual swan neck 3 carried by the tone - arm 4, is joined by a link 5 with a screwed rod 8 which feeds it across the record 15. This screwed rod 8, Fig. 4, feeds itself through a threaded single or double mitre-wheel 10 engaging with bevel-wheels 11, 16 attached to spindles 12, 17 adapted to be alternately connected by a spring sleeve 13 and driven from the turntable spindle 14. When the recording is finished, the link 5 is detached from the end 6 of the feedrod 8, which is turned through 180 degrees and the link 5 again connected to the other end 7. On exchanging the recorder 1 for 'a reproducer, the record can be reproduced. In a modification shown in Fig. 3, the tube 2 and recorder 1 are attached to a tube at right-angles to the tone-arm 4, and an additional recording-horn 19 is used, which is removed and the hole plugged when reproducing. The link 5, Fig. 3, has a screw 18 with lock-nut bearing on the tone-arm 4, whereby the pressure of the sound-box on the record can be varied. Fig. 5 shows a planing-device which is attached in place of the sound-box to remove the record. The knife 20 is secured to a block 22 adjustably clamped to a rod 24 which also carries an adjustable weight 26.

Abstract: 4815. Chapman, F. T. Feb. 24. Electro - magnets; reciprocating and oscillating machines.-In a long-stroke eleetro - magnet or reciprocating motor in which two or more poles project inwardly from a yoke, the armature moves in a direction parallel to the pole-faces, and at right-angles to the flux, its oscillations being controlled by windings in slots in the pole-faces. Poles 1, 1<1> projecting from a yoke 2 are excited by coils 3 and are also provided with coils 5 wound in slots 4. The armature 6 is mounted to slide in bearings 8. The coils 5 are in series or parallel with the coils 3 and are so connected that the currents in those portions within the slots are in the same direction; by changing the direction of these currents, the movement of the armature is controlled. The armature may carry the coils 3 and may be fixed while the field magnet is movable; the moving part may be constrained to follow any desired contour. The distribution of the slots 4 or of the conductors 5 may be non- uniform, or the air-gap may be graduated in width throughout the stroke. The device may be arranged for continuous or alternating currents, and the magnetic circuit may be laminated. Two or more units having their windings and magnetic circuits combined may be arranged side by side or in tandem. By controlling the current in the pole face windings by reversing-switches operated by the armature or independently, continuous oscillation may be obtained. The pole-face windings may be con.. nected to multiple-way switches in such a manner as shown in Fig. 3. A, B, C, D represents the pole-face, and the shaded portion the armature with which brushes B<1>, B", connected to the supply source, move over contacts 9.

Title: Improved Process for the Production of an Acid Magnesium Sulphite Solution and the application of same for the Extraction of Cellulose from Fibrous Vegetable Materials.
Inventor: JARDINE JAMES LOCKHART
IPC: D21C3/10
Filed: 1915-02-17
Abstract: 2509. Jardine, J. L., and Nelson, T. A. Feb. 17. Pulp, preparation of. - A solution of acid magnesium sulphite containing a predetermined greater proportion of base than would dissolve at normal temperature (say 50-70‹ F.), and prepared by maintaining the absorption liquor at a suitable raised temperature during the absorption of sulphurous acid, is used for the extraction of cellulose from materials containing lignin and pectic substances, and it is stated that the quantity of base required varies with the quantity of pectic ingredients and the quantity of the sulphurous acid with that of the lignin. Data are given for calculating the quantity of acid that must be added to dissolve a given proportion of magnesia at a given temperature. An example is given of the treatment of bamboo arundinacea. The disintegrated culms are packed into a digester and covered with a liquor containing 2À4 per cent total sulphurous acid, 1À6 per cent being combined as normal sulphite and the rest as bisulphite. Practically no sulphurous acid escapes with the expelled air on heating, which is therefore allowed to escape freely. The digester can then be sealed, but it is better to allow a small escape of steam to assist the circulation of the liquor. The full pressure of 85-90 lb. per sq. in. above atmospheric pressure is attained in 2-3 hours, and the cooking is finished in 8-9 hours, the end being determined by analysis, as described in Specification 18,371/13.
