Title: Method and Apparatus for Extinguishing Fires in Electric Cables and Electric Circuits especially in Telegraph Telephone and similar Installations.
Inventor: GAUTSCH CONRAD
IPC: A62C99/00
Filed: 1911-01-28
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 2226. Gautsch, C. Jan. 28. Drawings to Specification. Fire-extinguishing by gases.-In order to extinguish fires in the cable-protecting casings &c. of electric telegraph, telephone, and like installations, fixed pipes passing through the casings and having discharge outlets are adapted to convey extinguishing-gases, such as ammonia, sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen, to the seat of the fire. Two or more gases, adapted when mixed to form a condensation product, may be passed through separate pipes, which communicate with one another shortly in advance of the outlets, and are provided with devices to facilitate the mixing of the gases. The air contained in the pipes is first forced out to the atmosphere through suitably-manipulated valves, and any excess of gas is carried off through ventilating-shafts. The openings in the pipes are protected against dust by loose caps adapted to be readily blown off. The parts of the extinguishing-apparatus are electrically insulated and connected to earth.

Abstract: 4686. Siegel, F., [Firm of]. March 7, 1910, [Convention date]. Overhead travellers and transporters; transhipping and transferring by hauling and paying-out between elevated supports.-In transporters in which the cable way is stretched by a self-yielding device between two fixed supports, the cable is lowered by drawing it down to the desired point of loading or unloading. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the endless cable a passes over pulleys i, j on towers b, c, and round a pulley d on an anchored buoy e. The cable is reeved round the pulleys of a stretching-device h and is actuated by a windlass g. By pulling on the rope f at the point of loading or unloading, the rope a can be broaght down to a position a<1> not necessarily in the same vertical plane as the pulleys i, j. In a modification, separate hauling and supporting cables are employed, and the rope f is attached to the load. For heavy loads the supporting-cable may be arranged in a number of parallel lines. One of the towers may be displaceably mounted.

Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 14,716. Campbell, G. H. June 21. Retting.-Dry flax stalks are passed through a breaking-machine and, either immediately or after the operations of scutching, heckling, spinning, or weaving, are retted by a process of water-retting. The action of the retting-water may be hastened by the addition of small quantities, say about one-tenth per cent of alkaline carbonates, bicarbonates, and ammonia, or of fermenting-agents, or both; also ferment foods may be added such as cottonseed meal, linseed meal, bran, or flour. The process may be facilitated by moving the material in the liquid or by blowing air through it. After the retting-operation, the material is dried and passed through a suitable breaking, scutching, or beating machine &c. to remove the loosened shive material.

Granted: 1912-08-22
Abstract: 288. Evans, J., Robson, G., and Lewis, D. Jan. 4. Lift valves.-A valve a for supplying steam to locomotive cylinders, and for other purposes, is provided with an auxiliary valve f which opens before the valve a and admits steam beneath a piston d rigidly attached to the valve a. Normally, the space c below the piston d is in communication with the outlet i, but when the valve f is opened, a valve h rigidly attached to the stem g of the valve f is lifted to a seat k and closes the outlet m of the chamber c. The seat k consists of a movable ring which normally rests upon projections m formed on the valve casing. When the main valve a opens, the seat k is lifted with the valves h, f so that the chamber c remains closed during the time that the valve a is being opened. During the reverse movement, the valve h opens as soon as the seat k reaches the projections n, and the balancing pressure in the chamber c is thus relieved.

Abstract: 19,747. Stechmann, G. H. Aug. 29. Paper bags and the like, making. - Relates to a machine for making packets of lead or other metal foil. A roll of foil is supported in bearings 4, Fig. 1, and the strip of metal passes around a guide-roller 5 and a table 2. The strip is fed under a knife 18 by feeding - mechanism of any appropriate type, but preferably of the type described in Specification 5043/13, [Class 100 (i), Feeding and delivering webs &c.]. The knife 18 is mounted on levers 17d, and is depressed periodically by cones 16<d>, mounted on reciprocating r o d s 16, which engage the tail ends of the levers 17<d>. The blank of foil cut off from the strip rests on two folding-plates 8<w>, 8<x>, Figs. 1, 6, and 9, above an opening 20 in the table C. A forming-block 15 is secured to the end of an horizontally-reciprocating rod 13<g>, Fig. 1, which slides in a bearing 13<f>. This bearing reciprocates in a vertical direction so that the former 15 moves both horizontally and vertically. When the blank is in position over the opening 20, the former moves from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Fig. 6. It then descends and presses the foil between the strips 19, 19<a>, Fig. 9, that form the side of the opening 20 so that it is folded up around the sides of the former. The plates 8<w>, 8<x> then slide inwards and fold the foil over the top of the former. A heated iron 11<d>, Figs. 1 and 4, mounted on an oscillating lever 11<b> next descends on the overlapping edges of foil and fuses them together. The former 15 is now moved backwards from the position shown in dotted lines to that shown in full lines in Fig. 6, so that it rests against a stop 12<d> and leaves sufficient foil projecting beyond its end to form the folded bottom of the packet. Two folders 8<e>, 8<f>, Figs. 4 and 6, having their inner faces rounded, are secured to a base 96 which reciprocates in the direction of the arrows x, y, Fig. 6, so that the folders fold two of the sides of the projecting tube of foil down on to the end of the former. When the folders have returned to the position shown in Fig. 6, a folder 10<d> folds down the top of the projecting foil, and finally a heated folder 9d folds the remaining side and fuses the bottom folds together. The stop 12d is withdrawn and the former 15 moves backwards but small brushes or the like retain the packet so that it is stripped from the former and falls on to a conveyer belt 21.
