Abstract: 9098. Sanford, G. E. April 14. Drums.-The drum of a centrifugal machine for separating a liquid from solids both heavier and lighter than itself is provided with an inner concentric drum, the lighter solids collecting around the spindle of the machine and on the outer wall of the inner drum, and the heavier on the inner walls of both drums. A series of annular disks are provided for distributing the incoming liquids and retaining the solids, and valves are arranged in the walls of the drums for removing the separated solids and flushing the drum. The liquid enters the drum in the centre, and is thrown by disks 19<1>, 24 against the inner surface of the drum 8, where the heavier solids are retained by disks 11, the lighter solids collecting round the spindle 5 and being retained by disks 19. The liquid then passes under a disk 25 at the bottom of the drum 8 and is further purified in the space between the drums and escapes through the opening 26, distributing and retaining disks being provided as shown. For removing solids and flushing the drum, openings 33, 34, are formed in the outer and inner drums, which openings are normally closed by rods 31, 36 fitting into longitudinal holes in the drum walls. These rods can be turned into the position shown, in which openings therein register with the holes 33, 34, by means of the catch mechanisms 46, 47. Flushing-liquid may be introduced through the hollow spindle 5. The machine may be adapted for separating sugar crystals from molasses and washing them by removing the inner drum 8.

Abstract: 11,268. Keith, J., and Keith, G. May 6. [Cognate Application, 24,424/10.] Lighting burners by electric devices.-For controlling the ignition and extinction of gas lamps on railway trains, automatic valves are fitted to each burner which work in conjunction with plugcocks at the ends of the coaches in such a manner that, when the gas is first turned on, a temporary flow of gas to a pilot jet fitted with an electric igniter takes place. The igniting-circuit is controlled in accordance with the position of the plug cock controlling the supply of gas to the burners. For this purpose a ratchet-wheel B, Fig. 3, which is connected to the plug cock, has alternate deep and shallow teeth corresponding to the off and on positions of the plug cock respectively, so that, when the gas is turned on, the pawl D makes contact with the contact-piece X of the igniting- circuit, but not otherwise. In a modified form, the arrangement is such that the igniting-circuit is only energized while the diaphragm valve is in its intermediate position.

Title: Improvements in Means for Testing the Durability of Material which is Exposed to Repeatedly Applied Stresses.
Inventor: KAPP GISBERT
IPC: G01N3/38
Filed: 1910-12-24
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 29,998. Kapp, G. Dec. 24. Testing physical qualities of materials.-Intermittent or reciprocating tensional, torsional, shearing, or bending stresses are applied to testpieces by means of an apparatus comprising one or more electro-magnets, the coils of which are energized by an alternating current of variable frequency; the induced magnetic forces cause an intermittent stress in one or more directions to be applied to an armature, to which one portion of the test-piece is attached. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the coils c of the laminated electro-magnet a, b are energized by an alternating current which causes the armature h to be attracted twice in each period. One end of the test-piece g is attached to a cross-bar d carried by the frame e of the magnet, and the other end is fixed to the armature f, h which is arranged so that a very small air-gap is always left between the poles band the armature. Intermittent bending stresses are applied to a test-bar i, Fig. 3, by means of a knife-edge n attached to the armature f, h. If the magnet and armature be duplicated, the armatures being fixed together and the magnets being energized by currents having a phase difference of 90 degrees, reciprocating stresses can be applied to the specimen. Intermittent stresses in directions at right - angles to one another can be applied by an apparatus constructed in a similar manner. If the waveform, frequency, and electromotive force of the current utilized to excite the electro-magnets are not identical in value with those of the current employed in the calibration of the apparatus, a two-phase alternator is employed, the applied stresses being regulated by varying the excitation of the alternator. In all cases, the stress is measured by a voltmeter.

Abstract: 23,835. Brock, F. A. Oct. 27. Pyrotechnics.-Relates to pyrotechnic compositions designed for the production of an intermittent .or repeat effect, and consists in mixing with any well-known composition a relatively large proportion of sulphur, or other slowly burning substance. On ignition, the sulphur in the exposed layer of the mixture is first burnt away, and the composition then ignites. A fresh layer is thereby exposed, the composition in which again ignites after the sulphur has been burnt out of it. The operation may be repeated any number of times. The intervals between the successive ignitions of the composition may be regulated by adjusting the amount of sulphur used. An example is given in which a known flash composition containing 25 per cent of strontium nitrate, 2À083 per cent of barium nitrate, 6À25 per cent of powdered aluminium bronze, and 16À666 per cent of powdered magnesium, is mixed with 50 per cent of powdered sulphur.

Abstract: 28,789. Jones, D., and Folland, H. Dec. 21. Brasses; cylindrical journal bearings.-In brasses or bearings for the reduced necks of the rolls of rolling-mills &c. having a cylindrical bearing-surface e and a curved surface c in contact with the curve of the neck of the roll, the central portion a of the part c is cut away so that the curved part of the neck is in contact with the bearing at the sides only. Friction is thereby reduced, and the gap a serves as a receptacle for lubricant. The gap may be made in both the upper and the lower brasses. Recesses are formed under the ears d of the bearing, on the side opposite to the bearing- surface e, for the insertion of a tool used to force the bearing out of the frame of the machine when required. The bearing-surface is reduced in width at f at the outer end of the neck. To facilitate fitting and fixing the bearing in the standards or framework of the machine, metal strips g are inserted in dovetailed grooves at the sides of the bearing, or they may be hooked on to the bearing, secured by studs, or cast with the bearing. The strips are either flush with the sides of the bearing or project slightly as shown. Such strips g may also be placed at the back of the ears d of the bearing, that is, on the surfaces between and at right-angles to the strips shown on Fig. 4. In the case of the upper brass, the strips may be hooked to assist in supporting the bearing on the framework. The end of the brass is curved outwards as shown at h.

Abstract: 5512. Forman, W. J. G. April 24. Direct explosion apparatus.-Relates to improvements in the apparatus described in Specification 6090/04 by which the energy of exploding gases is transmitted directly to a column of water, which may be used in Pelton wheels, accumulators, &c. The siphon pipe D has an extension D<1> passing into the explosion chamber A so that a volume of water G is always left with its surface exposed to the hot gases, to facilitate the generation of steam. The extension D' may be adjusted in height by suitable gearing, or may be replaced by one of different size. A gas-inlet valve B, an ignition tube P, an exhaust valve C', a watersupply pipe E, a check valve F, and a waterdelivery pipe E' are provided. In operation, the exploded gases force the water down the siphon D until the float Q, falling with the water, moves the slide valve C to open the exhaust pipe. The heated water then flashes into steam, energy being given to the column in the siphon, and the burnt gases being driven out. The moving water uncovers a nozzle H, which sprays water into the gases, condenses the steam, and causes a new charge to be sucked in past the valve B. The water then oscillates backwards and compresses this charge for the next explosion. The water for the spraying- nozzle H is shown taken from the pipe E past a regulating-valve H<3> and a non-return valve H<2>, but it may be supplied by a pump or accumulator, and may be injected into the chamber from the top under the control of a float similar to Q. The exhaust gases may be condensed, or part may be allowed to escape into the atmosphere, or may be used in a heating-coil arranged in the water G.
