Title: Improvements in and relating to Thermostats.
Inventor: GEISSINGER HARRY GRANT
IPC: G05D23/275
Filed: 1909-11-18
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 26,819. Geissinger, H. G. Nov. 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Thermostats.-A thermostat has three flexible strips 2, 2, 3, the middle one of which is arched to engage one of two contacts. The middle strip 3 rests at one end in a groove in a block 6, which in one arrangement is fixed to a block 4, but in the apparatus shown in Fig. 4 is pivoted, and at the other end the middle strip rests in a groove in a pivoted block 7, a screw 10 being provided for giving an initial adjustment to the strip 3. The block 7 is carried by a block 5 which connects the movable ends of the outer strips 2, and has a lug carrying a screw engaging with a lever 18. An adjustment screw 20 engages this lever, and movement by vibration is prevented by a nut carrying a spring 25. The block 5 is guided by a spring plate and by a spring 22. In one arrangement, the parts so far described form the thermostat, the middle flexible strip 3 having a different coefficient of expansion from the others, and the end block 6 being a fixture. But in the form shown, the block 6 is connected by a rod with a second thermostat which may be placed in contact with the heading or cooling medium, and may act in series with the thermostat members 2, 3 or differentially. It may consist of an outer tube 31 and an inner tube 34 having different coefficients of expansion and connected together at one end by flanges, a conical wedge 33, and an end cap. The other end of the inoer tube is connected by a conical wedge with a plug 37 carrying the rod 40. Contact between the tubes is made by slitting the inner tube or by filling them with a heavy oil. The tube thermostat may be caused to act alone by making all the flexible strips 2, 2, 3 of the same coefficient of expansion.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Nitrides.
IPC: C01B21/072
Filed: 1910-07-08
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 16,368. Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik. July 9, 1909, [Convention date]. Aluminium and other nitrides.-Mixtures of aluminium and other nitrides are prepared by heating alumina and carbon in the presence of nitrogen, and the oxides of one or more of the elements, silicon, titanium, zirconium, molybdenum, vanadium, beryllium, cerium, uranium, and chromium, or compounds of these oxides. By this method, it is possible to manufacture the nitrides at comparatively low temperatures and in a short time. The presence of an alkali or alkaline-earth compound, or iron oxide, sulphide, or the like, does not affect the reaction adversely, so that titanates, vanadates, or silicates may be used. In the examples, the mixtures treated are alumina, quartz, and coal; alumina, rutile, and anthracite; bauxite, chromium oxide, and soot; crude bauxite, and ground coke, the bauxite containing silica, titanium oxide, and traces of vanadium and chromium. Specifications 7607/09, 16,641/09, and 17,611/09 are referred to.

Abstract: 21,833. Felten & Guilleaume - Lahmeyerwerke. Oct. 20, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Winches; regulating and control-transmitting gear.-In winches for effecting various operations, in some of which a load-pressure brake is employed, means are provided whereby this brake may be put into or out of action by a change-over device which simultaneously changes the nature of the drive. Fig. 1 shows the application to a winch provided with two drums g, h driven from the armature a and field b respectively of an electromotor through gears c, d and e, f. The armature and field are independently rotatable when the winch is employed for transhipping at sea, so that both drums are capable of being driven and the load pressure brake k is not required. When the winch is used for lowering ship's boats, the drum h is put out of action by applying a brake o to the field b of the motor. The drum g is then driven through the pinion c which has a screw motion along its shaft. Simultaneously with the application of the brake o, pawls are dropped to hold the loose disks p of the brake k, and the clutch n of a pump l for cooling the brake is engaged by connexions with the brake-operating device. t

Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 27,026. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Nov. 20, 1909, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Automatic exchange systems; metering systems.- The arms of the side-switches of selectors and connectors move automatically through other steps besides those used for connecting up the lifting and turning magnets and completing the throughspeaking connexion, these further steps being used to ring-up the called subscriber, to register the call, &c. The call register is operated at the close of a conversation by the de-energizing of either of the connector line relays, which produces a preparatory change of connexions whereby the register is operated, and a further change of connexions at the first selector results in the release of all the selectors and connectcr. The description is substantially the same as that in Specification 6654/10, with the addition of certain minor features such as provision of (1) a buzzer controlled by the ringing-relay to inform the calling subscriber that the required subscriber is being called, (2) a buzzer set in action when the called subscriber hangs up at the end of . conversation, and serving to inform the calling subscriber of this fact, and (3) a condenser and resistance shunting the relay contact in the local circuit of the lifting and rotary magnets. Specification 9634/10 is also referred to.

Abstract: 23,911. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Oct. 28. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains comprises an iron bar r which diminishes the magnetic resistance of an alternating-current electro-magnet b carried on a train and so reduces the current passing from the source p, q (the secondary of a transformer) through the magnet coils c, d to the coil g of a differential relay e. The other coil f of the relay is connected directly to the source p, q, and the coils f, g are oppositely wound, so that fluctuations of the current from the source p, q will not affect the relay e. When the current in the coil g diminishes, the armature is rotated against the action of a spring s, and an insulated metallic plate k carried by the armature h opens a circuit through a magnet o which controls a whistle valve, and the whistle is sounded. A detent n retains the armature in this position, until, on release, the spring s restores the armature h to its normal position.
