Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Conductors more especially suitable for use as Incandescing Bodies for Electric Lamps, Furnaces and the like.
IPC: H01K3/02
Filed: 1911-05-30
Granted: 1911-11-16
Abstract: 13,021. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 30. Resistances consisting of pure graphite of specific gravity about 2À27, applicable as incandescing bodies in furnaces and other apparatus, are made by the process described in Specification 19,398/06, or modifications of that process. The specific resistance of such graphite is À0006-À001 ohm per c.c. at 20‹ C., and is little different at a high temperature. Graphite of this density, or any other pure graphite, is made into form with a binder, which preferably comprises that part of pitch soluble in benzol and becoming liquid at about 180‹ C. The bodies when carbonized may be used but preferably are heated to 3000-4000‹ C. to convert the binder into dense graphite, and may optionally be flashed in a hydrocarbon and again heated to convert the coating into dense graphite. Specification 20,809/04, [Class 39, Electric lamps &c.], is referred to.
Patent GB-191113729-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Continuous Weighing Mechanism.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
IPC: G01G5/00
Filed: 1911-06-08
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 13,729. Haddan, R., [Weigher Patent Co.]. June 8. Automatic - feed weighers. - Apparatus for weighing a continuous stream of material is provided with means for proportioning an electric current in accordance with the weight of the material and the speed at which it is transported, and with means for measuring the current. The endless conveyer belt 15 has a portion of the upper run, carrying the load, supported on troughing rollers 16 which are mounted on a platform 18 suspended from weighing-beams 22. A corresponding portion of the empty lower run is mounted on a platform 19 similarly suspended from the weighing- beam but on the opposite side of the pivots 23. The weighing-beams are pivoted together, and an extension 25 is pivoted to a plunger 26, Fig. 5, working in a mercury bath in a chamber 27. The arrangement is such that the height of the mercury in the chamber is inversely proportional to the load on the belt. One or more sets of resistances are connected to terminals progressively arranged in the wall of the mercury chamber so that, as the mercury rises in the chamber, successive sections of the resistances are short - circuited. An electric generator 33 is driven by the conveyer belt. the electromotive force of the current produced being proportional to the speed of the belt. As the resistance is inversely proportional to the load, the current which passes through the instrument is proportioned for both speed and load, and is recorded on a registering ammeter or the like. To compensate for temperature variations, the mercury-chamber, which is made of vulcanized rubber, is fitted with an enlargement 35 made of iron and partly filled, for economy of mercury, with an iron block 36. The expansion coefficients of these materials are such that variations of level of the mercury in the chamber due to changes in temperature are obviated. An adjusting-device in the shape of a compensating-weight on the weighing-beam extension works in conjunction with an electricbell circuit, arranged to include the mercurychamber, which has a terminal 44, Fig. 9, the circuit including a push 42, a bell 41, and a test terminal 39 in the wall of the chamber. A branch circuit 66 leads to a second higher test terminal 40. By means of the compensating- weight and these testing-circuits, the normal height of the mercury in the chamber is regulated as required. A bell circuit 77 and terminals 45, 46 in the chamber are used to test for belt tension, and compensating-rods 49 are inserted in the mercury as required. In a modification, the mercury-chamber is an enclosed flexible diaphragm chamber 52, Fig. 11, the diaphragm 50 being acted on by the weighing- beam extension. The mercury forced out of the chamber passes into a tube 51, provided either externally or internally with a series of resistances.

Abstract: 17,712. Hope, G. F. W., and Cheffins, H. W. J. Aug. 3. [Cognate Applications, 24,475/11 and 159/12.] Ball and like mills.-Ball or pebble mills or the like in which the fine material is discharged from the mill by means of compressed air or by suction, are provided with one or more stationary chambers 6, Fig. 2, arranged in an upright or inclined position above the axis of the mill and having an outlet leading to the passage 5, Fig. 1, through the hollow trunnion or stationary end disk of the mill. The inlet at the upper end of the chamber 6 is fitted with a hood 7 to prevent the entrance of large particles, and its height above the axis of the mill is adjustable so as to regulate the fineness of the powdered material extracted from the mill. The chamber is preferably made with telescopic sections 8, and a manhole 9 enables the sections to be adjusted and the pebbles or balls to be introduced into the mill. The mill may have stationary end disks 3 and be supported on rollers 2, and slides or other means may be provided for regulating the inlet passage 18 of the feed-shoot 17. When compressed air is used for discharging the powdered material, the inlet pipe 4 is provided with a series of jets 11 to direct the air upon the balls or pebbles 12, to prevent the powder from collecting on them. In a modification, a series of funnels with curved telescoping ends arranged alternately in opposite directions is mounted on a central passage leading to the outlet. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement in which the inlet passages 33, 34 and the outlet passage 32 from the extracting-chamber 6 are supported by a stationary disk 21 at one end of the mill, the other end of which is attached to and rotates with the periphery of the mill. The disk 21 is supported by a rod 30 from a standard 29, and a hollow ring 25, pressed by springs 27 against the outer ends of the flanges 22, 24 and supplied with compressed air by a pipe 26, prevents dust from escaping between the flanges 22, 24 of the rotating end of the mill and the disk 21. In addition, a worm 23 may be formed on the internal surface of the flange 22. The inlet passage 33 for the material is preferably open to the source of compressed air.
