Abstract: 1308. Jackson, T., and Musgrave, F. W. Jan. 18. Sheet-registering devices.-In sheetfeeding apparatus for printing - machines, the sheets, after being placed in position against the front stops of the feed-board, are held in that position till taken by the cylinder grippers, by means of two or more pins or needles adapted to perforate the sheet and, preferably, to pass a short distance into the feed-table. The sheets are placed upon the rocking feed-board c against the front stops e and are there held by needles j, Fig. 3, carried by holders i slidably mounted in guides h on' arms g, Fig. 1, adjustably secured upon a fixed shaft f. The holders i are operated by forked levers n carried by a rocking shaft m which with the shaft f is carried upon bearings mounted upon the feed-board c. The shaft m is rocked by means of a cam slide q carried by a plate s and engaging an arm o on the end of the shaft m. The plate q is moved against the action of a spring t by means of a bell-crank lever v bearing against a pin u on the slide q and operated by a vertical rod w which is reciprocated by a bell-crank x and arm y connected to some moving part of the printing-machine. The shaft m is rotated back to release the pins from the sheet by a spring z attached to the table c and to a stud on the shaft m. To ensure that the needles are held in the raised position when the machine is stopped, the arm y is connected with the cylinder check mechanism, so that, simultaneously with the stopping of the machine, the arm y is lifted clear of its engagement with the bell-crank x.

Abstract: 29,183. Maxted, F. R. Dec. 28. Water-tube boilers.-In a water-tube boiler of the type comprising top, bottom, and side drums H, K, F, N, and a furnace B at one side, the drums are connected by sets of straight tubes, preferably equal in number and of the same cross-sectional area, and, in addition, the gases and the water in the boiler are caused to flow substantially in the same direction throughout. The ends of the side drums are supported by saddle blocks E<1> so that when expansion takes place the drums can slide on beams E supported by stanchions A<2> included in the foundations, which are preferably of concrete. The upper portions of the side walls are joined by slabs A<3>, and struts L<1> may be arranged between the top and bottom drums. Baffles M, M<1>, M<2> cause the gases to take a clock-wise course similar to that of the water, which is supplied to the drum N and may be preliminarily heated in the discharge flue D. This flue may also contain a heater D' for the air passing to the furnace. An extra drum P may be arranged above the drum H, the drums being connected by steam pipes P<1> with flaring mouths supported by stays X, and annular water-returning passages P<2>. A superheater Q may be fitted in the space enclosed by the water-tubes; the form shown has upper and lower headers Q<1>, Q<2>, and valved connexions to the drum P so that steam may be passed through the tubes in either direction. The blow-off Q<3> for the header Q<2> and for the lower drum K may be located together. Openings S enable dust to be blown off the water-tubes when desired. In a modification, in which a superheater is not provided, the baffle M<1> and struts L<1> are dispensed with, and the furnace is arranged directly under the tubes connecting the drums F, K.

Abstract: 6758. Banks, W. C., and Wood, R. C. March 19. Electrodes of primary batteries. An insulating distance - piece resting on one electrode supports the other at a constant distance from it during use, or a part of the consumable electrode may be caused gradually to approach the other electrode to compensate for increased internal resistance. In an alkali battery shown, a porcelain distance-piece D, Fig. 2, rests on a zinc electrode, comprising radial pieces Z secured to lugs l upstanding from a wheel-shaped plate P, Fig. 6, of tinned iron or steel, which is supported above the cell bottom by a central iron rod R depending from the lid and forming a connexion. This rod R acts as a guide for the distance - piece D and for the depolarizing- electrode, which consists of a wheel-shaped castiron frame O containing compressed copper oxide and made cup-shaped or perforated to allow the escape of any gas collecting below it. The electrolyte is caustic soda. In a modification, some thicker pieces Z' of the zinc do not support the distance-piece and, by wearing away more slowlv than the other pieces Z, approach the other electrode with use. The arrangement of electrodes may be reversed and is applicable to other primary batteries such as gravity Daniell cells.

Abstract: 29,891. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Dec. 30, 1911, [Convention date]. Bromine; chlorine; iodine.--Small amounts of gases or vapours such as halogens are liberated gradually within a closed glass vessel such as an incandescent electric lamp by the action of a source of light and heat therein upon a primary substance, which yields the gases in presence of a secondary substance acting as a carrier. Preferably a metal-halogen compound is used as a primary substance, and a metal such as iron or nickel as secondary substance. Silver chloride may be melted upon a nickel net and placed near the filament of an incandescent electric lamp. Some of the chlorine liberated is absorbed by the nickel, and some nickel chloride may be sublimed on to the cooler parts. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the use of a source of light or heat outside the glass vessel, and of substances which yield gases or vapours such as chlorine, bromine, and iodine without the intervention of a carrier. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
