Patent GB-191101746-A (GB)
Title: Method of Producing Continuous or Constant Electric Discharges in Gases.
Inventor: CARL FABIAN RICHERT VON KOCH
IPC: H01J37/32
Filed: 1911-01-23
Abstract: 1746. Koch, C. F. R. von. March 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Gases, treating with electric discharge.- Stable electric discharges are produced by supplying the discharge gaps with gas in a heated condition in which it is wholly or partly conductive. The heating may be effected by passing the gas through one or more arcs, which may be assisted or replaced by some other source of heat, for instance, a gas flame. In the construction shown, the gases are first heated by an arc struck between electrodes 3, 4, and pass in a heated and conductive condition into a chamber 5, which may be of constant cross-sectional area, or be tapered. Discharges of great stability take place between electrodes 6, 7 in this chamber. The pairs of electrodes may be supplied from separate sources of current, or from the same source, and may be connected in series or in parallel. The current may be continuous or alternating, and, if a multi-phase current is used, each phase may be used for supplying current to one of the discharge gaps. It is particularly advantageous to give one or more of the electrodes the form of a ring, a short tube as shown, which serves as a passage for the gases, and if desired, two adjacent electrodes 4, 6 may be replaced by a single electrode. The gas may have a rotary movement imparted to it, and the walls of the chambers may be protected by insulating- material, for instance, a layer of cold air &c.

Abstract: 16,592. Woollatt, W., and Pollard, A. J. July 19. Pantographic apparatus.-An electrically controlled unit for compounding motions for actuating the pantograph mechanism of embroidering, lace-making, and other machines, comprises four shafts A, A<1>, A<2>, A<3>, geared together by pinions C, and fitted with sleeves D, D<1>, D<2>, D<3> which may be clutched to their respective shafts by electro-magnetic clutches E. The shafts rotate continuously and one of them carries a contact drum K, over which a suitably perforated strip is passed. The contact-arms K<1>, which are wired up to the clutches E and battery K<2>, co-operate with the perforations to close certain of the clutches for definite lengths of time, and so cause the sleeves D, D<1>, D<2>, D<3> to be rotated in accordance with the perforations. The motions of the sleeves D<1>, D<3> are given to a frame H by chains J<1>, the frame being carried by sleeves G splined to the sleeves D, D<2>, and the motion of the sleeves D, D<2> is given to a slider H<1> on the frame H by a chain J. The compounded motion is thus imparted to the pin H<3>, which may be connected to the pantograph for actuating the embroidery frame. The apparatus may be modified by using screws or solenoids instead of the chains.
