Granted: 1912-01-29
Abstract: 2137. List, P. G., and Schmidt, G. Jan. 27. Soaps, materials for making.-Soaps containing coal-tar hydrocarbons, such as xylene, pseudocumene, or solvent naphtha, and soluble to a clear solution in water, in salt water containing from 4 to 5 per cent of salt, and in sea-water containing alkali &c., are prepared by combining the hydrocarbons with the soap or soap-making materials in the presence of a minimum of water. The soap may be added to soaps, oils, &c. used for cooling metal-cutting tools &c. Specification 19,732/93 is referred to. The soaps may be derived from palmitic or oleic acids, or from tallow or linseed, olive, sesame, cotton-seed, palm, castor, or sulphonated castor oil. The products may be mixed with solutions of alkali carbonates, or, when a solid product is desired, with calcined sodium carbonate.

Abstract: 6857. Collier, H. A., and Collier, C. R. March 18. Variable-speed belt gearing comprises a driving expanding pulley p, Figs. 1 and 2, and a driven pulley m of constant diameter carried upon a shaft c', which can be moved so as to keep the belt r in tension. In the application to a motor-cycle, the driving-wheel axle c<1> is carried in bearings suspended from the cycle frame b<1> and is moved by links d, d<1>, and cranks a<3>, a<1> connected by a sleeve a<2>, which is controlled by a hand-lever a. The pulley p is operated independently by a hand-lever f secured to a through spindle f<1>. An arm f<2> fast upon the spindle f<1> is connected at its end to a chain f<3> which gears with a sprocket g<2>, the turning of which operates the movable flange g<1> of the pulley p. Alternatively, the chain f<3> may be connected to one of the links d so that the pulley and belt-tensioning device are operated simultaneously. A pedal o operates a brake n acting on the inside of the pulley rim m. A suitable form of expanding pulley is shown in Fig. 3. The flange g<1> slides on a feather i<2> on the boss i of the fixed flange g. A cam surface j, which is capable of partial rotation along with the operating-sprocket g<2>, coacts with a fixed cam member j' supported loosely upon the boss i.

Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 21,204. Wijnberg, A., and Sauer, J. N. A. Sept. 26. Purifying saccharine liquids.- In the manufacture of refined sugar direct, the juice is acidified and treated with " decolourizing carbons," (vegetable products containing over 50 per cent of carbon and substantially free from matter soluble in acid). The carbon is regenerated by treatment with alkali. Preferably, the juice is limed, filtered, treated with sulphur dioxide, and mixed in vessels C with carbon which has been mixed with water or juice in vessels A. The treated juice is pumped through heaters G to filter-presses X, from which the carbon is conveyed by conveyers L to a vessel M, in which it is boiled with caustic or carbonated alkali, or both. The carbon is then pumped to a filter-press O, in which it is washed with water, acid, and water in succession, and from which it is passed by conveyers S to the mixers A. Kieselguhr &c. may be added to aid the separation of the carbon from the juice, either before or after the main filtration thereof.

Abstract: 7388. Royston, E. R., [Moore, R. A.]. March 26. Sound of discharge, modifying .-Consists (1) in a silencer in which intersecting spiral movements are imparted to the gases, and (2) in means for securing the silencer to the gun muzzle so that contact between the gases and the muzzle is prevented. In the silencer casing 1 a longitudinal baffle-tube 12 is arranged, as shown in Fig. 2, so as to intersect a number of expansion chambers 9. The tube 12 is formed with a number of spirally-disposed openings, and the rear edges 13 of some of these, and the front edges 14 of others, are bent inwards to form deflecting fins for the gases.

A rearwardly-extending expansion chamber 5 with baffles 10 is also provided. A cap 16 is placed between the muzzle 2 of the gun and the socket 4 of the silencer, which cap has slight freedom of movement as the gun-barrel expands and contracts.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Instruments for Measuring or Controlling the Frequency or Wave Length of Alternating Currents or for Indicating Speed.
Inventor: SEIBT GEORG
IPC: G01R23/02
Filed: 1912-07-19
Granted: 1913-03-06
Abstract: 16,874. Seibt, G. July 19. Frequency, measuring; casings.-An instrument of the induction type for measuring the frequency or wave-length of alternating currents, has a vane mounted with a pointer on a pivoted shaft and controlled only by the action of a pair of field coils, the angular width of the vane and coils being not less than 90 degrees. The vane d, Fig. 4, is symmetrical with regard to one axial plane only and may be of semicircular form; it is preferably of skeleton form, as shown, to reduce eddy-currents. The field coils a, b are of flat and preferably 'of semicircular form, and are fixed near the armature; they are connected in parallel circuits, one including inductance and the other capacity or other phase-shifting devices. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, which is specially adapted for measuring the frequency of damped oscillations, a small non-inductive resistance k is inserted in one circuit and an inductive resistance i in the circuit of the field coil b, shunted with a non-inductive resistance l. The vane mav be constructed of sheet aluminium, À05-À3 mm. in thickness, and the curved part m, Fig. 14, may be supported by an arm n; the sheet may be ribbed or otherwise strengthened. The field coils may be divided into parallel sections arranged on either side of the vane to increase the range of the instrument; they may be inclined to the plane of the vane as shown in Fig. 6. To increase the sensitiveness, separate field coils may be arranged for producing current in the armature and for reacting with this current to produce the torque. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 12, the armature has a semicircular portion connected by loops r<1>, r<2>; coils a, b, connected as shown in Fig. 6, are placed near the former, and coils A, B connected in the main circuit are placed so that they act only on the loops. The range of the instrument may be varied by altering the resistances, and the scale may be graduated accordingly. To avoid external influence, a copper or aluminium casing is used for highfrequency, and an iron casing for low-frequency currents. When used as a relay or controlling. instrument, a fine wire torsionless connexion is made to the shaft, or double contacts may be used as shown in Fig. 14.

Abstract: 6493. B³ndgens, F. March 15. Mines, marine. - Relates to automatically anchored mines of the kind in which the mine rises from its anchor and is stopped at a given depth by an hydrostatic device situated on the mine. Hitherto, the anchor cable coming from a drum in the anchor has been carried over a guide on the mine and back to the anchor, this latter part of the cable being clutched to the mine when the hydrostat came into action. According to the invention, there is only one length of anchor cable, and the hydrostat on the mine is arranged to lock the drum in the anchor. The mine 3 and anchor 1 sink together to the sea bottom, whereupon the lifting of the perforated plate 23 releases the catch 19, 19<1> and the mine ascends. The main cable 6 is paid out, and also a second cable 14 wound on a drum connected to the hydrostatic device 15. When the mine has ascended to the required position, the hydrostatic device locks the drum of the cable 14, which thereupon causes the lever 13 to shear the pin 17 and lock the drum 5, thus stopping the mine at the desired depth.
