Abstract: 2576. Hardy, J. A. Jan. 31, 1911, [Convention date]. Two-stroke-cycle engines. - In an engine in which a sleeve extension of the piston at the end of the down-stroke opens inlet and exhaust ports at opposite ends of the cylinder, the lead of the piston a, Fig. 2, slopes upwards from the distribution ports to the centre, and the cylinder head c may be similarly formed. The piston may be formed with an annular extension which draws in air around the exterior of the sleeve a' for cooling. The sleeve may be shaped as shown to allow for the gradual expansion of the scavenging-gases, and may be provided externally with cooling-ribs. The annular extension may act as a compressing-pump, and the engine may be double - acting. In the construction shown in Fig. 4, the sleeve a<1> forms a reciprocating cylinder working over a fixed piston c and compressing air or mixture in a pump b.

Granted: 1912-09-12
Abstract: 5147. Blondel, A. March 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Marine bell and like signalling.-A bell for use in submarine signalling-apparatus is made of aluminium or aluminium alloy, with or without a protective coating such as copper, silver, paint, or varnish. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) refers also to a system of submarine signalling wherein the receiving microphone is tuned by selection of an appropriate metal for the diaphragm, and by the adjustment of its diameter and thickness and of the weight of additional bodies fastened thereto. Further tuning is obtained by corresponding adjustment of the magnetic telephone in resonance, and also by adjusting the electric circuit conditions to resonance. Reinforcement may be obtained by tuned microphonic relavs. Sounds of a variable pitch may be produced by an hydraulic siren of which the speed is adjustable. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Inventor: FISCHER CARL HEINRICH
IPC: C01G41/00
Filed: 1912-04-03
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 17,603. Fischer, C. H. April 3. Potassium tungstate; tungsten oxides and sulphides.-To obtain pure tungstic acid which on reduction yields pure crystalline tungsten, the powdered ore (Scheelite) is added in small doses to a large excess of fused caustic alkali (potash), to which some lime has been added. The product is lixiviated, and a large excess of ammonium sulphide is added and the precipitated impurities (metal sulphides &c.) are filtered off, leaving a solution from which tungsten sulphide, WS3, is obtained by precipitation with hydrochloric acid. The sulphide is oxidized to obtain tungstic acid, which is then further purified by dissolving in caustic potash and precipitating with hydrochloric acid. The treatment of the ore with potash is conducted in a partly evacuated vessel.

Abstract: 8067. Schmied, W. Feb. 7, [Convention date]. Helical springs; connexions, attachments, and adjustments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.-Relates to cycle saddles supported on levers pivoted to the cycle frame and adapted to compress springs, and consists in so arranging the levers that the saddle swings rearwards as well as downwards under the shock. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the lever g is pivoted at its upper end to the saddle and at its.lower end to an arm c rigid with the sleeve a, which fits on the seat pillar. A bell-crank lever h is adjustably pivoted at one end to a lever k on the saddle, and at the other to an arm d on the sleeve a. As the saddle vibrates, the short arm p of this lever displaces a plate s<1> against which a spring s abuts, the other end of the spring being carried by a cup linked by a rod z to the sleeve a. A bolt n in the lever h slides in a slot g<4> in the lever g. In modifications, the saddle is pivotally connected by a short link at its forward end to the sleeve a, and the spring- controlled bell-crank lever supports the rear end of the saddle. In these cases, the saddle tilts as it is displaced. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 7, the saddle b is supported on links g<5>, h<2> pivoted to the pillar a<5>, and the spring s is interposed between an abutment y<1> on the link g<5> and an abutment y<2> extending from the seat pillar. The springs may be helical in form and constructed of wire of rectangular cross-section, the longer side of the section being disposed radially with respect to the axis of the spring. Alternatively, the springs may be of the conical volute form.

Gas, supplying by meter; coin action, mechanical connexion; fraud, preventing.-A hand-operated spindle 3 bearing a coin-engaging sector 5 is coupled by a genuine coin to a coinreceiving drum 6, which operates the valve-controlling mechanism, but cardboard or soft metal disks not being of sufficient strength to overcome the resistance to movement are bent and ejected from the drum. Strips 14 fixed to the side plates 7, 8 of the drum serve to support the coin, and a spring-controlled pawl 12 engaging one of the notches 11 in the plate 8 offers sufficient resistance to prevent the rotation of the drum except by a genuine coin. A soft disk is forced out of the channels 14 by the sector 5 and is directed by guards 15, 16 to a compartment 2<11> of the money-box. A genuine coin rotates the drum through half a revolution, and is discharged into a separate compartment 2<1>.
