Title: Improvements in, and Apparatus for, the Electrolytic Manufacture of Alloys of Light Metals with Heavier Metals and the Continuous Treatment of such Alloys for Obtaining Final Products.
Inventor: ASHCROFT EDGAR ARTHUR
IPC: C25C7/00
Filed: 1912-01-12
Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 1001. Ashcroft, E. A. Jan. 12. Electrolytic furnaces. -In the manufacture of a light metal, say of the alkali or alkaline-earth group, or of an amide, cyanamide, cyanide, hydrate, peroxide, or other compound of such a metal, by means of a circulating alloy of the metal with lead or the like, this alloy is kept at constant levels in the two cells employed, the variation in volume of the alloy only affecting an intermediate reservoir. The reservoir 8 and the lower parts of the cells may be formed by a single casting 3, preferably of s t e e l , shown in section in Fig. 1 and in plan in Fig. 4. The alloy flows out from the cells over weirs 9, 10, circulation being kept up by means of a pump or screw 11 which draws the alloy through passages 5 from the reservoir 8 and raises it into the second cell 2. A mixture of salts, for instance of 40 per cent. of sodium chloride and 60 per cent. of potassium chloride is used in the firs', cell, and in order to promote the replacement of potassium or other undesired metal in the alloy by the sodium or other metal required, the alloy is agitated with the electrolyte in the first cell and with the electrolyte or reagent in the second cell. This agitation may be effected electro-magnetically by means of coils 18 wound round the cells and carrying heavy currents. The salt supplied to the first cell may contain less than 2¢ per cent. of potassium chloride or the like to compensate for potassium contained in the alloy. Alternatively, the alloy may be agitated with fused sodium chloride or the like in a separate receptacle from which the salt, containing potassium or the like removed from the alloy, passes to the first cell. The anode of the first cell is a hollow cylinder 12 of graphite, made up of segments connected to a metal cap by copper or bronze bolts which dip into molten lead in the segments. The anode is protected by sleeves 14, 15, respectively of a refractory substance and of enamelled iron or other material. Pure chlorine or other gas is removed through the anode, and gas mixed with air is also drawn off outside the electrode through openings 17 in the cell. The first cell 1 is provided with a basic heat-insulating lining. The whole apparatus may be heated by a resistance in the supporting-masonry. Specifications 1002/12, [Class 41, Electrolysis], and 1003/12, and 1004/12, [Class 41, Electrolysis], are referred to.

Title: Improvements in Rivetting, Punching and like Machines.
Inventor: SCHMITZ ADOLF
IPC: B21J15/26
Filed: 1912-07-12
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 16,321. Schmitz, A. July 12. R i v e t i n g; m e t a lworking presses. - In a machine for riveting, punching, &c., of the type in which the driving-agent stores kinetic energy in the fly-wheel and is uncoupled during the working operation, as the kinetic energy is being utilized the flywheel is automatically disconnected from the motor and is finally brought to rest and holds the work under pressure until the tool is disconnected from the fly-wheel, in order to avoid reversing the rotation of the fly-wheel. In the form shown, an electric motor 1 drives the fly-wheel 16 through a coupling 2 and the flywheel shaft 4 is connected by an irreversible worm 4<a> and worm-wheel 5 and a hand-operated clutch 7 to a reversible screw 6, which is thus rotated and traversed in a fixed nut 12 to move down the slide 22 which carries the tool 14. The resistance encountered during riveting causes the shaft 4 to move axially away from the coupling 2, and the flywheel, on coming to rest, remains so until the clutch 7 is released, whereupon the spring 20 returns the tool 14, and the spring 15 the fly-wheel shaft. The pressure is varied by adjusting the frictional resistance of the ring of the fly-wheel on the boss, which is connected thereto by a spring-pressed ring 17 and adjusted by screws 18. The machine frame is hollow to receive the driving-gear, the tool slide forming the front cover.

Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 23,535. Subur·, F. R. Oct. 15. Piston packing. - The packing consists of two split cast-iron rings 4 which are under-cut to receive split brass rings 5 arranged to break joint with the rings 4. The rings are expanded by a spring 6 which presses both axially and radially, or by springs 7 which expand them radially, and a spring 9 contained in a recess between the rings 4, which presses them axially and so prevents access of steam to the space behind the packing. Packing for a piston valve consists of a single castiron ring, under-cut on both sides to receive brass rings, and expanded by a broad split ring.

Granted: 1914-05-05
Abstract: 10,603. Brooker, H., Sewell, H. W., and Brooker & Co., T. H. May 5. Fcedang webs.-In coin-freed apparatus for delivering stamps, labels, &c. from a continuous strip, pins 19 on a hinged member 18 normally obstruct the delivery outlet 21 and are only removed from the obstructing position as or just after feeding-pins 12 are brought into locking engagement with the strip, and are returned to the obstructing position simultaneously with or just prior to the removal of the feeding-pins from the strip. After prepayment, the operator pulls a bar 13, thereby rocking a swinging arm 16 bearing a pivoted member 14 carrying the feeding-pins 12; which enter a row of perforations. Sxmultaneously a cam 23 on the swinging arm by engaging a projection 22 depresses the hinged member 18 and withdraws the obstructing pins. During the feeding movement, a projection 24, Fig. 8, on the member 14 works under a fixed guide 25, but, at the commencement of the return movement under the action of a spring 29, the end of the strip acts as a stop to the pins, which are thus caused to rise above the strip, the projection 24 travelling over the guide 25. Just prior to the return movement, a spring 20 restores the obstructing pins, the cam 23, as it returns, passing under the yielding extremity of the projection 22. The obstructing-pins may be arranged to impale the extreme forward end of the strip. The strip is fed along a grid 2, the pins 12 working in grooves 3 between the bars 3<a>, the strip being retained in position by a presser 6 detachably secured to the grid by means of pin-and-slot connexions 7, 8 and a bayonet-joint fastening 9. In the case of a non-perforated strip, the pins may be adapted to impale the strip before feeding, or other perforating-means may he provided.
