Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 18,372. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 9. Low-pressure metallic-vapour apparatus.-In high-temperature lamps, idle spaces, such as those required between solid anodes and the seals of leading-in wires, are filled with silica, alumina. or other solid material, to check condensation therein and thereby to increase the efficiency. Fig. 1 shows a positive leading-in wire 5 surrounded successively by a block of fixed silica and by small granules. Any mercury that condenses on the granules is retained by them. Alternatively, the block may. fit into the main tube and be backed by the granules. The sealing-in extensions of the tube may vary in composition from sodium magnesium boro-silicate sealing glass to.pure silica, as described in Specification 18,300/12, [Class 39 (ii), Electric lamps, Incandescent]. Behind the cathode pocket may be provided a space 6 into which mercury rises when the lamp is lit, so that the active surface is within the main tube 1 at starting, but subsequently recedes into the pocket; the discharge thus takes a less sharp turn and the envelope is protected. Another cathode pocket has a thick-walled constriction around the active surface, the increased evaporation from which raises the electric pressure of the lamp. According to the Provisional Specification, mercury may be used instead of solid material for filling the idle spaces.

Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 21,376. Dreyfus, H. July 5, [Convention date]. Acetates and other carboxylates, of solubilities in chloroform ranging from soluble to difficultly soluble, are converted into products of varied solubilities, either by treating the precipitated esters with dilute organic or inorganic acids or acid salts or mixtures thereof, or by allowing the primitive acetylating solutions to stand with or without the addition of water, the reaction being in each case interrupted when the desired qualities of solubility have been attained. Products can thus be obtained soluble in acetone, alcohol-benzene, dilute alcohol, dilute acetone, alcohol-chloroform, alcohol-tetrachlorethane, hot water, &c. According to an example, cellulose esters such as are described in Specification 21,628/01 are treated with dilute nitric acid. The products can be-used in the manufacture of films, artificial silk, artificial horsehair, artificial leather, celluloid-like products, coatings, &c. The treatment of the products described in Specification 20,977/11 is excluded. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) refers also to the treatment of the acetylating or equivalent solutions with acids, acid derivatives, oxyacids, alcohols, phenols, &c. ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 18,011. Strandt, G. Aug. 7. Stoppering.-Relates to a machine for applying paper-disk closing-caps to milk-bottles &c. of the type in which no cap is discharged unless a bottle is in place to receive it, and relates particularly to the construction of the cap-feeding slide, to a spring-device for yieldingly resisting the rise of the capping-plunger anl related parts, and to means for supporting each cap successively prior to application in a true horizontal position above, and parallel with, the cap seat in the bottle mouth. The capping-plunger 9, its guiding-sleeve, the capping-nozzle 4, the cap-reservoir 12, and cap-feeding mechanism are all supported from a cross-head 8 which is suspended, according to the height of the bottle to be capped, from one or other of notches 11<1>, 12<1>, 13<1>, formed in a vertically-reciprocating operating-shaft 7. The closures are fed from the reservoir 12 by a slide 15, working on a platform 14 and steadied in its movement by a yoke member 40, Figs. 4 and 6, partly surrounding and bolted to the platform ; the link-work reciprocating the slide is connected to this yoke. The capping - mouth converges downwardly and terminates in a lip 28 adapted to enter the mouth of the bottle for a small distance. Above the lip are grooves 27<1>, one of which receives a disk and holds it in an horizontal position before application. In operation, on depressing the shaft 7, the plunger and attached parts are lowered until the capping-mouth is arrested by the lip of the bottle. Further depression of the shaft compresses the spring 17, the resistance of which is slightly in excess of that of the cap in the mouth 4, until the plungers and caps are forced down by the recoil of the spring, the cap-feeding slide being simultaneously thrown back preparatory to engaging the next cap, which is fed forwards on the upward movement of the shaft 7. The upward movement of the parts is resisted by a spring stop 32, Figs. 4 and 5, the casing of which is fixed to a stationary yoke 9<1> carried by guide-bars 8<1>, Fig. 5, adjustably secured in the machine frame by clamping-screws.
