Title: Improvements in and connected with Automatic Safety Devices for Ironing, Mangling, and like Machines.
Inventor: BLACKSTONE SAMUEL
Filed: 1908-11-18
Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 24,778. Blackstone, S. Nov. 18. Guards.-In an automatic safety device for ironing, mangling, and like machines the movement of the guard actuates valves which, through pneumatic means, cause the collapse of a bellows or the movement of a piston connected with the belt-fork releasing-mechanism. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the guard bar a is connected with a valve c, which controls communication between a chamber h and a pipe k<2> leading to a diaphragm d within a second chamber k. Slight pressure is normally maintained within the two chambers by means of an air-compressor. A bellows m communicates through the duct m<1> Either with the interior of the chamber k through a valve f or with the atmosphere through a valve g, both of these valves being carried by a spindle d<1> attached to the diaphragm d. When the guard is displaced and the valve c opened, the pressure in the chambers is transmitted to and operates the diaphragm d, thus closing the valve f and opening the valve g. The bellows therefore collapses and, through rods n, p, and p<1>, raises the catch-bar q out of contact with the treadle-operated arm r so that the spring-controlled bar is released and shifts the belts. A slightly different arrangements of valves and the use of two diaphragms are described in the Provisional Specification.

Abstract: 26,263. Freeth, F. A., and Cocksedge, H. E. Nov. 12. Ammonium chloride; ammonia; sodium sulphate.-Ammonium chloride is obtained by stirring together, at about 103‹ C., equivalent quantities of sodium chloride and ammonium sulphate with enough water to make at that temperature a saturated solution, separating at that temperature the precipitated sodium sulphate, adding a small quantity of water or ammonium-chloride solution, preferably washwater cooling to about 30‹ C. and separating the precipitated ammonium chloride. The ammonium chloride and sodium sulphate, after washing and drying, are practically pure. To the mother-liquor is added equivalent quantities of sodium chloride and ammonium sulphate, so as to make, at about 103‹ C., a saturated solution, and the process is repeated. When it is desired to start with a fresh solution, the mother - liquor from which the ammonium chloride has been separated at 30‹ C. is evaporated to 103‹ C., the precipitated sodium sulphate is removed, and the solution, after addition of water &c. is then cooled to 30‹ C. to recover more ammonium chloride, these operations being repeated as often as necessary, and the remaining solution is then distilled with alkali to recover the ammonia. Instead of solid sodium chloride, purified or unpurified brine may be used, in which case the equivalent quantity of ammonium sulphate is added, and the solution is heated to about 103‹, the subsequent operations being the same as before

Abstract: 4697. White, H. E., and Carichoff, E. R. Feb. 27,1909, [Convention date]. Systems for continuous-current motors only ; master control systems.-In electric motor control, the actuating-circuits for a series of electricallv interlocked resistance contactors are threaded through contacts of auxiliary switches controlled by the reverser contactors and governed by the current in the armature circuit. The motor A is connected to the line S through reversing contactors L', L<2> or L<3>, L<4> according to the throw of the master controller K. The contactors L<2>, L<4> have auxiliary switches 10, each provided with a hook 13 passing over a heel 14 on the contactor and allowed to fall only when the contactor is closed. Coils 11<1> in series with the armature prevent the closure of the switches when the current is excessive. When the controller K is moved to its first forward position, the coils of contactors L<2>, L' are energized in series, connecting the motor through all the resistance R<1> ... R<4>. This circuit includes the governing-coils 11<1> of further auxiliary switches 10 hooked to the resistance contactors as in the case of the reversing contactors. In the second position of the controller, current passes from the wire 16, through the contacts 10 on the auxiliary switch of contactor L<2>, through a wire 17, finger g, and wire 18 to the coil of first resistance contactor 1. This, in closing, shortcircuits the first step of resistance, the current surge passing through the governing-coils of the auxiliary switches. In proceeding with the cutting-out of armature resistance, as soon as the auxiliary switch of the preceding resistance contactor has fallen on to its contacts, the circuit to the next succeeding resistance contactor coil is complete. The coil may then be energized by passing the controller on to the next notching-up position. The notching-up takes place automatically if the controller is thrown at once to its '' full on " position. The invention may be applied to electro-pneumatic systems of master control.
