Title: Improvements in Motion Transmission Mechanism applicable to the Steering of Ships.
IPC: B63H25/28
Filed: 1913-11-28
Granted: 1915-01-07
Abstract: 27,471. Soc. Anon.Italiana G. Ansaldo & Co. Nov. 30, 1912, [Convention date]. Rudders, signalling position of.- The rudder of a ship is controlled by an electric motor and by a steam-engine either or both of which may be employed for steering, the effects of the two motors being combined by differential gearing. A pointer indicates the resultant setting of the rudder. The shaft 7 controlling the steam steering-engine is turned by gearing from the hollow shaft 15 integral with the steering-wheel 9, and the shaft 11 controlling the electric steering-engine is turned by gearing from the wheel 10. The wheel 9 is also geared to a screwed shaft 17 which passes through a pinion-shaped nut 18 controlling a pointer. The nut 18 can be rotated by gearing from the hand-wheel 10, which turns the bevelgear 25 and so turns the shaft 35, which bears a cylinder 19 having vertical ribs in engagement with the teeth on the nut 18. The cylinder 19 rotates integrally with the shaft 35, but is capable of rotary adjustment upon it to correct the reading of the pointer 33 controlled by the nut 18. The nut carries a collar 28 bearing a guided arm 29 which engages a lever arm 31 integral with the pointer 33. The movement of the nut 18 and pointer 33 depend on the resultant movement of the shafts 17, 35, that is, on the resultant movement of the wheels 9, 10. The controlling-valve mechanism of the steammotor and the controller of the electric motor are associated by known means with the shafts of the respective motors in such manner that their movement has only a small lead on the movement of the motors themselves. Consequently, if one of the motors stops through failure of steam or electric current, the steam-valve mechanism or the electric controller becomes incapable of further movement. It follows that the indicating-pointer 33 cannot give an indication differing substantially from the actual position of the rudder brought about by the movement of the motors.

Chemical manufactures, furnaces for.-In the production of calcium cyanamide from calcium carbide and nitrogen in a rotary tube furnace, the nitrogen, supplied under pressure, is used as a driving-agent for circulating the gas in this furnace. The carbide is supplied from a hopper 4 by a screw 5 surrounded by a jacket 6 to which the nitrogen is supplied from a pipe 7 and issues at nozzles 8 which may be provided with conical guiding surfaces for increasing the injector effect. The nitrogen passes from a chamber 9 through channels 12 to a chamber 13 in which it is given a rotary motion by vanes 14 and thence through chamber 15, furnace tube 10, and apertures 11 to the chamber 9. The furnace may, in the first place, be heated electrically or by the combustion of gas, and if additional heat is necessary during the reaction, electrical heating is effected by passing a current through a conducting portion of the lining of the furnace or through resistances set in the lining or resistances or arcs may be provided in the chamber 15. The nitrogen may be supplied direct to the tube 10 at the outlet end, preferably through nozzles which give it a rotary motion and the passages 12 may be replaced by a central pipe.

Abstract: 9232. Thum, W. April 14. Cells; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating.- Each electrode is supported at both sides of a tank by means independent of the tank, which may consequently be of lighter construction than usual. In the arrangement shown, a framework mounted on insulators or pillars 10 constitutes compartments, in each of which one or more tanks 17 rest on insulators on planks 20 laid across joists 16. Other planks 21 may be placed on the joists to form a gangway between rows of the tanks. Below the tanks are trays 22 to catch drippings. The tanks may also be arranged in terraces. Along opposite sides of the tanks are beams 15 supporting the electrodes by arms thereon. When the electrodes are to be connected in parallel, each beam carries a conductor 26 and one or two insulating-strips 30, so that each electrode rests at one side on a conductor and at the other on an insulator-strip. The tanks do not require metal linings; they may be of wood lined with acid - resisting material, such as asphalte, paraffin, or tar, or may be simply caulked or made tight by rods or hoops. They may have curved bottoms or may be of barrel shape. In the latter case, horizontal currents of electrolyte may be forced through the tanks along the surfaces of the electrode plates.
