Title: Improvements in or relating to Alternators, particularly applicable for Radio-telegraphy.
Inventor: GIRARDEAU EMILE
IPC: H03B11/02
Filed: 1912-11-05
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 25,356. Girardeau, E. Nov. 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Exciting. - An alternator, especially applioable for use as a 'resonance alternator ' for radio-telegraphy by singing spark methods, is so constructed that its short-circuit current is less than the normal current that the armature can withstand without excessive heating. It is shown in the Specification that this may be effected by employing a machine having the magnetic framework of an ordinary asynchronous motor and having a total section of copper in the field winding approximately equal to that of the armature winding. One of the parts, stator or rotor, is excited with continuous current and the signals are emitted by reducing the inductance of this part by acting upon the exciting current, for example by short-circuiting a resistance which limits the excitation to a value less than that required for sparking.

Abstract: 15,471. Newbold, H. July 4. [Cognate Applications, 20,279/13 and 23,210/13.] Mud-guards.-Wheel guards, which act also as mud-guards for road vehicles, are carried so as to move with the steering-wheels and yield rcarwardly so as to bear against and brake the vehicle wheel. A hinged or sliding plate is adapted to fill in the space between the guard and the road. In one form, Fig. 1, the guard c is pivoted to an arm f which is pivoted to a bracket f<2>, fixed to the stub-axle b, and connected thereto by a pin and slot f<4>. The guard is also connected to the bracket f<2> by a link h, a spring h keeping the guard in the normal position. When an extension e<1> of the guard is struck, a pivoted plate g<1> is turned in the direction of the arrow to fill in the space below the guard, and rollers i are pressed against the tyre. The spring h<2> is moved to the other side of the pivot of the plate h<1> and so keeps the guard in the lowered position. In another form. shown in Fig. 4, the guard is eccentric to the wheel and carried by an arm f on the fixed part of the axle. A sliding plate k held up by the spring plate n, has an arm l, which, when pressed against the tyre, is carried down to the ground, at which point it no longer contacts with the wheel. In a further form. shown in Fig. 7, the guard is carried by a fork o through slots o<3> in which the wheel pivot o<2> passes, so that the guard moves radially when struck and compresses a spring p surrounding the steering-link q. The slots o<3> allow the guard to yield laterally. The sliding plate k is lowered against the spring r by contact of the tyre with rollers w. A roller w is provided at the foot of the guard and, if raised about the hinge w<2>, it presses on the roller y and so lowers the plate k. The forks o may be connected hy a telescopic cross-bar with an intermediate spring. Bars or rods may connect the front wheel guards.

Title: Production of Liquid Anhydrous Ammonia.
Inventor: POLLARD HENRY
IPC: C01C1/00
Filed: 1914-03-12
Granted: 1915-03-11
Abstract: 6274. Pollard, H. Oct. 21, 1913, [Convention date]. Ammonia is obtained in the anhydrous liquid form, without employing a mechanical compressor, by first absorbing the gas by means of a dry salt such as ammonium nitrate, sulphocyanide, bromide and salts of sodium and potassium producing a liquid combination, and then expelling the ammonia bv heat under sufficient pressure to effect its liquefaction. The ammonia from a still A is purified and dried in an apparatus d and then passes to one of two cylinders e, e<1> containing for instance dry ammonium nitrate. During the absorption of the ammonia cold water is passed through a pipe in the cylinder. After a time the valves are operated to place the used cylinder into connexion with a condenser f, the ammonia being expelled under pressure by passing a heating-medium through the pipe in the cylinder. The ammonia, cooled in the condenser f, collects in the liquid form in a receiver g from which it is passed to bottles h. Combustible gas containing ammonia may be treated with a suitable dry salt in this manner for the removal of ammonia, which is recovered in the liquid form. The other impurities in the gas are removed subsequently.

Granted: 1915-06-10
Abstract: 6601. Marks, E. C. R., [Kretzmann, P.]. March 16. Ball mills.-In reducing hard substances by preliminary crushing and fine grinding, the material is subjected to the action of an air current as it passes from the preliminary mill into the fine grinding-mill, whereby it is divided into two parts, the finer particles being carried into the fine mill by the air current, while the coarser particles are returned to the coarse mill. The material passes from the coarse mill m through peripheral slots b and apertures in the partition p and the corner angle-pieces into a chamber c provided with vanes, which, together with the walls o, p, q, form funnel-shaped receptacles in which the material is raised so that it passes out through apertures e, where it is subjected to a jet of air from a pipe f. The fine particles are carried into the fine mill n, and the heavy particles fall into the chamber g and pass through apertures h, r, the jacket space i, and returning-blades k, back into the mill m. Any fine particles carried back with the coarse particles into the space i are sucked into the fine mill n by the injector-like action of the air current in the entrance l to the mill n.
