Filed: 1913-09-16
Granted: 1914-05-21
Abstract: 20,907. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Jacob, F. Sept. 16. Plane-trigonometry calculators. - An apparatus for ascertaining the magnitude and direction of the resultant of two vector quantities comprises a circular arc D, Fig. 1, and a rotating-arm F carrying a protractor E. The centre of the arc P can be set at a known distance from a given point O along a fixed diameter, and when the arm is rotated about this point, the intersection of the arm with the arc determines the resultant of the vectors O P, P Q. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the resultant is read off along the arm F pivoted at O, and its inclination to the fixed diameter is shown by the vernier M on the arcs E in degrees and circular measure.

Abstract: 22,359. Perry, W. P. Oct. 4. Heating by electricity; resistance ovens.-An oven consisting of a base and a removable cover has heaters enclosed in the wall behind conducting-portions of the inner surface, and may also have heaters inside conducting-portions of its outer surface for external heating, the rest of the outer surface being of heat - insulating material. The capacity of the oven may be increased by the interposition of one or more rings, preferably without heaters in them. The oven shown in Fig. 6 consists of two stoves c, similar to that shown in Fig. 1, separated by a ring l, links o being provided for holding the cover in a raised position; the links o may be hinged. For small ovens, the links may be dispensed with; for large ovens, the cover may be suspended with counterweights. One of the stoves may have a concave surface to increase the capacity of the oven; a mat or plate of insulating-material may be substituted for one of the stoves. As shown in section in Fig. 1, the stove consists of a refractory conducting plate f, preferably of enamelled metal, insulated by mica from a heater e of wire-asbestos net, a packing of insulating-material in a wood or fibre casing c with a ring g of asbestos or soapstone. The heater is connected to terminals on the casing c in such a way that several degrees of heat may be obtained, the connexions being controlled automatically by a regulator h, which can be set by moving a pointer k over a dial. In a modification, the metal parts of the stove are embedded in a block of insulating- material, such as steam-pipe covering; the ring l may be formed entirely of this material. A double stove having a separately controlled hotplate on each side may be used as the top of the oven, the external plate serving for boiling; or it may be placed at the bottom so that the external plate can be used for grilling or toasting. The cover shown in section in Fig. 10 comprises an inner casing 3 of enamelled metal, a heater 4 and regulator in an insulating- packing, an outer casing of wood or fibre, and a ring 5 of asbestos or soap-stone. An external hot-plate may be added. Specification 9372/95 is referred to. According to the Provisional Specification, the base may be adapted to contain water for steaming purposes.

The sectors 6 are held up by a pawl 7 carried by a yoke 13, which is released by the closing of the drawer. Differentially-moved indicators.-The indicators 11, for purchaser and operator respectively, are held until the next transaction by a pawl 15 released by the initial opening of the drawer, which precedes the operation of the sector 6 for the next transaction. Cash-drawer mechanism.-The depression of any key operates a yoke 24 which trips the drawer-retaining catch and enables the drawer to move forward under the action of a spring- urged lever 17 to release the yoke 13, which holds the pawl 15 in operation. After a short forward movement of the drawer, it is stopped by a catch 27, which is released by a pin 29 on a further depression of the key. The parts are reset on the closure of the drawer by the engagement with a slotted lever 21 connected to the yoke 13 of a pin 19 carried by the drawerlever 17.

Abstract: 6395. Keith, J., and Keith, G. April 29. Valves controlled from a distance ; leakage, d i s c h a r g i n g.-In automatic gas lighting and extinguishing apparatus such as is described in Specification 4290/14, any leakage past the pilotlight supply valve 9 when closed, as shown, is discharged to the atmosphere, thereby preventing the choking of the pilot tube with a deposition of carbon, by means of a vent passage 4. When the pilot valve 9 is opened by the action of the diaphragm 11, the communication between the pilot passage 13 and the atmosphere at 4 is closed by a spring-loaded tapered valve member 4. The conical formation of the valve restores it to its central position if it is displaced therefrom. In a modification, the pilot tube 13 extends from the screwed cap member 14, and in another modification, the vent aperture 4 is formed in the guide 3, and the pilot tube connects to the chamber 10 at the back of the diaphragm. In a further modification, a resistance, such as a mercury seal or a small weighted valve, is placed in the by-pass connexion to ensure the leakage of gas following the easier path by way of the vent 4.
