Title: Improvements in Treating Wood to Render it Suitable for use in Secondary or Storage Batteries.
Inventor: MARINO PASCAL
IPC: B27K5/00
Filed: 1909-02-03
Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 2641. Marino, P. Feb. 3. Wood, treating with liquids and gases.- Wood separators, for galvanic batteries, preferably of white non-resinous wood sheets with or without ribs, are treated first with steam under pressure, or are well boiled, to remove pyroligneous acid, and are then treated with oxygenated water, or ozone, to oxidize the vasculose to resinous acids soluble in alkalis and alcohol. The separators may be placed in a rotary galvanized-iron drum, closed by an airtight cover, and fitted with a valve for drawing off the evolved gases and with a hollow perforated axis to admit steam. After treatment with steam at 120‹ C. for fifteen minutes, the separators are either dipped in a cold dilute solution of oxygenated water, or they are saturated with water and a current of ozonized air is directed upon them. When oxygenated water is used, the impregnated separators are removed at the end of three hours and exposed to the air for a further four hours at the ordinary temperature, after which they are treated with steam at 110‹ C. for ten minutes and washed successively with cold strong ammonia and pure water. The separators are dried, preferably by a current of compressed air, and to increase their porosity they are pierced by a sewing-machine having a very fine needle, or by small spiked wheels.

Granted: 1911-04-11
Abstract: 6082. Taylor, H. D. March 11. Range - finders. - A binocular short - base range-finder is arranged on the split - image or split-field system so that the images presented to the two eyes respectively are as shown in Figs. 5 and 5b, whereby the apparent separation is doubled, as shown in Fig. 6, when both eyes are binocularly focused upon either upper or lower images. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the invention applied to a range-finder, as described in Specification 7322/07, having only one objectglass 0, one half of which receives light from the optical square S1 at one end of the instrument and the other half from the square S2 at the other end. As far as the right-eye imageformation is concerned, the only change in the instrument is that RR is a simple prism replacing the former optical square, the necessary additional reflecting surface being supplied in the three-reflector system R1, R2' R3, replacing the former two-reflector systems at this place. The light that is not used in forming the righteve image, instead of being screened off, is in. the present arrangement reflected by a prism LR (provided with a gap to allow the rays forming the right-eye image to pass) into the left eyepiece to form a second image as already described, the separated half-images being made to overlap by means of a prism such as shown in vertical section in Fig. 8. As shown, p1 is the zero setting prism, p2 the range - reading prism turning about an axis parallel to its refracting edge, and H the halving prism. The mechanism for actuating the range - reading prism forms no part of the invention, but may consist of worm gearing driving a pinion engaging with a toothed sector carrying the frame in which the swinging prism is mounted. The left eyepiece is made capable of sliding for inter-ocular adjustment, the reflecting-prism LR being connected by levers so as to be turned at half the angular rate of the eyepiece. The image from an eccentrically placed finder objective is directed into one of the eyepieces by means of a prism system which can be swung aside when the finder is not in use. A complete optical specification of the instrument is given and also an outline of the application of the invention to range - finders with two objectives. Specifications 5267/01, 1462/03, 13,562/07, 20,315/08, and 7392/10 are referred to.
