Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Incandescing Filaments for Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Filed: 1905-06-07
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 11,949. Just, A., Hanaman, F., and Vereinigte Electricitõts Akt.-Ges. June 7. Incandescent lamps.-Filaments obtained by depositing tungsten or molybdenum, or both, upon a core of carbon, or of carbon mixed with the metal, are strongly heated by the passage of a current for a short time, in a rarified inert gas, such as hydrogen, or in a vacuum. The carbon is thus completely dissolved in the metal, and is subsequently removed by various means, for instance by heating the filaments in steam mixed with reducing-gases, by strongly heating them in vacuo, or by packing them in finely-powdered oxide of the metal in a crucible, which is then luted and heated in a furnace to about 1600‹ C. for some hours, the metal reduced not adhering to the filaments. The carbon-cored filaments are preferably made by heating very fine carbon threads in an atmosphere consisting of a chloride of the metal and of a reducing-gas such as hydrogen.

Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 13,601. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 13. Switches for high-tension circuits have chambers which enclose the fixed contacts, the chamber having one opening only, out of which the arcgases issue after the circuit has been broken, and out of which also the movable contact travels, taking a path that curves out of the line of the issuing jet. In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 1, the enclosing chamber 17 is provided with a fixed contact 19 and a mouth-tube 20 preferably of insulating material. The movable contact 12, of curved form, is carried by an arm 6 pivoted on a standard 2 and operated by arms 6<a>, 6<b> and cords 7, 8. The standard carries fixed spring stops 10, 11. In the horizontal form shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5, two are chambers 25 are fixed on a base 21, and immersed in oil in a vessel 22 beneath. A lever 29 pivoted at 30 carries two movable contacts 28. The lever is operated by a crank 31, a slotted link 34, and a handle 35. To open the switch, the handle is moved to the left, extending the spring 37. The slot 33 permits the crank 21 to move faster than the handle. To close, the handle is moved to the right, and then allowed to return to the middle position under the influence of the spring. Barriers 38 are provided in the oil vessel, to prevent cross-passage of the arcs and displacement of the oil.

Abstract: 15,995. Legrand, G. J. J. July 14. Self-driving weight motors.-An endless chain a passes over two sprocketwheels b and carries freelypivoted levers c upon which can slide floats f, consisting of water-tight boxes filled with air or gas. The free ends of the levers are connected by links g, the outer ends of which may work in guides so as to cause the levers c to take up their proper positions. The apparatus is immersed in water the level of which is shown at e. The floats owing to their tendency to rise produce a greater leverage on one side of the chain than on the other and it is stated that motion ensues. Blocks h limit the motions of the levers c. Instead of floats, weights may be used, in which case no water is necessary. The sprocket-wheels may be adjustable, and intermediate wheels may be employed. There may be two or more chains side by side and connected by bars.

Granted: 1908-09-25
Abstract: 21,262. Spear, M. H., and Johnson, F. D. Sept. 25. Screwing; pipe and rod severing- machines.-A machine for use in screwing and cutting pipes and other articles has a tool-carrying sleeve 21, Fig. 2, rotatably mounted in a saddle 18, having bearing-lugs 19, 20 sliding on bats 16, 17 on a base 1, Fig. 1. On the fore end of the tool sleeve is secured a tool plate 22, which also serves to hold in place a ring 26 provided with tommy holes for rotation by hand or with gear teeth for rotation by power. The tools are mounted in sets in different planes, the front set of screwing-tools 62, Fig. 6 and 8, being separated from the rear set of severing, turning, and chamfering tools 63 by liners, while a second set of screwing-tools 69 is arranged in an intermediate plane, and in separate recesses. Toothed dam-rings 70, 73 are provided for advancing the two sets of screwing-tools, each set being spring-retracted in such a manner that only one set is in operation at any time. The separate tools 63 are independently actuated by separate cam-segments 77<a>, Fig. 8. Squared pinion spindles can be inserted in recesses to operate the desired cam. At the rear end of the sleeve 21 is mounted a movable screwed collar 28 secured between a bush 29 and a segmental plate 32 which has projections fitting into recesses in the collar when the collar is required tb turn continuously with the sleeve 21. If intermittent motion is required, a segmental plate without projection is used, and the collar 28 is then rotated by means of tommy holes in it. For feeding the tools, pairs of nut segments 39, 39<a> and 40, 40<a> of different size are caused to engage separately with the collar 28, these threads being mounted at the end of rotatable arms 41, 42 pivoted to the frame and operated through a link 43, a pin 44 engaging recesses at the ends of a slot in an arm 46 to: hold the nut segments in gear. The nut segments are automatically disengaged by a tappet 50 on the lug 19 acting on the arm 46. When the severing-tool is in operation, the saddle 18 is held stationary by screws 53. The workholder consists of a shell 4 with two wedge surfaces 11, 12 adapted to engage with wedge surfaces 13, 14 on another shell 15 which is split longitudinally from the fore end to nearly the rear end and then split intermediately by cuts extending from a hole at the rear end to nearly the front end, thus giving two sets of gripping-jaws which grip the work when a nut 60 is screwed up tightly against the flange of the shell 4.
