Title: Improvements in speed regulating apparatus
IPC: F02D1/00
Filed: 1955-01-26
Abstract: 766,024. Speed governors. PRECISION MECANIQUE. Jan. 26, 1955 [Jan. 28, 1954], No. 2387/55. Class 57. [Also in Group XXXII] A constant speed governor M, Fig. 1, is connected to the speed-control device of a machine, such as an internal combustion engine, by a member 1 provided with means to prevent oscillation when the system of forces acting on the governor is disturbed, e.g. by a change of speed. This means consists of an air-tight chamber 3 which is closed at one side by a diaphragm 4 secured to the member 1 and connected to the atmosphere by conduits 5, 6 the effective size of the conduit 5 being adjustable by means of a needle valve 7. Movements of the member 1 are thus resisted by pressure changes in the chamber 3 for a predetermined period which may be adjusted by means of the needle valve 7. The volume of the chamber 3 may also be arranged to be variable during operation. Fig. 4 shows an alternative construction in which an axially-displaceable sleeve 10 under the control of the governor M operates a fuel pump rack rod 1 through a thrust ring 11 and a lever 13, 14. The sleeve 10 co-operates with a fixed sleeve 19 to form a chamber 3 with an adjustable calibrated orifice 20. The chamber and the governor casing 21 are filled to a level N with oil which is forced through the orifice 20 to relieve the pressure on the air in the chamber 3 after a predetermined time. The governor is loaded by a pair of springs 16 supported between collars 17, 18 while a fork 26 connected to the throttle control acts upon collar 18 to enable the fuel feed to be increased. The limiting position of the collar 17 and hence of the rack 1 may be adjusted by a screw 23 the head of which serves as a stop for the collar 17. A small spring 29 is interposed between the collar 17 and the ring 11 to separate these parts at very low speeds and thus provide a supplementary displacement of levers 13, 14 for starting. To permit an increase in the load limit when the speed of the engine decreases the screw 23 is held by a sleeve 25 which has a very small axial displacement against the action of two stiff springs 31. A handle 27 acting directly on the rack 1 may be used to stop the engine.

Filed: 1946-02-21
Abstract: 599,813. Substation equipment. HUGHES. H. S. Feb. 21, 1946, No. 2703/45. [Class 40 (iv)] In a system for use in an unattended fire substation or the like, upon a call being received from a central office, alarm bells are rung in the domiciles of the firemen until a receiver is lifted from a telephone in the substation. In the Figure, terminals a represent an extension of the bell circuit of one telephone and b similar terminals of another telephone 14 each connected to the central station. To sound the alarm, the central station rings on the first telephone and follows immediately by a ring on the second telephone. Relay c responds to the first ring and operates pendulum relay n which remains operated sufficiently long to allow ringing current from the second telephone to operate p. This relay energizes coil u to pull over armature 3 to complete the circuit for the alarm bells at contact 4 and also completes a circuit for relay 10 which effects the changes in the telephone 14 normally brought about by lifting the handset, so that ringing of the station alarm may be heard by the central station over the second telephone. A person arriving at the substation lifts the handset from the cradle switch 2 of the telephone 14 so energizing at contact z the coil w to return armature 3 to normal and at contact z1 to maintain relay 10 operated so that conversation with the central station may take place.

Patent GB-418894-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to methods of treating acid solutions
IPC: C23G1/36
Filed: 1933-01-28
Abstract: <PICT:0418894/III/1> Sulphur dioxide is recovered from solutions containing sulphates and free sulphuric acid by adding iron oxides to the solution in an amount at least sufficient to neutralize the free acid, heating the mixture to a temperature sufficiently high to cause combination between the oxide and the acid, evaporating the mixture to dryness and finally treating the mixture with a reducing agent to produce sulphur dioxide.  The reducing agent may consist of carbon, e.g. coal, or a mixture of carbon with metallic sulphides such as pyrites or phyrrotite.  Spent pickling acid containing iron sulphate or the spent acid obtained in the production of titanium oxide by treating ilmenite with sulphuric acid may be treated by the process. The solution to be treated in a vessel 5 and finely divided oxide dust from a later stage in the process in a hopper 9 are fed through a pipe 6 into a rotary kiln 1.  The kiln is subdivided by baffles 2 and 3 and is heated by the combustion of coal, oil, gas &c. in a burner 17.  In the kiln the concentration of the acid is increased by evaporation (preferably to 30--40 per cent) and the temperature is raised sufficiently (say 230--235 DEG  F.) to bring about reaction between the oxide and the free sulphuric acid.  The dried product finally leaves the kiln through a duct 12 to pass on to a conveyer 13 whereon it is mixed with pyrites 18 and coal from a duct 19.  The mixture is fed through a duct 20 into a slightly inclined rotating drum roaster 21 provided with baffles 22.  The material passes therethrough in counter current to combustion gases.  The sulphur dioxide produced passes out through a pipe 27 and is freed from its content of finely divided iron oxide dust in a separator 28 from which the dust flows into the hopper 9 for use in the process.  The sintered iron oxide is removed through a duct 31 and conveyer 32. Specification 303,808, [Class 1 (iii)], is referred to.
