Abstract: 5356. Wolinski, B. March 3. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Sphygmographs and the like.-Tension of the eye-ball is measured by means of a spring-pressed plunger a carrying a curved and detachable end d to press against the eye. The plunger moves in a cylinder b passing adjustably through the handle f, and on the end of this cylinder is mounted a quadrant q slotted as shown, over which passes a pointer n carrying a needle u at its upper end and pivotally connected to the spindle m of a piston k pressing against the inner end of the spring c. In operation, the head d is placed against the closed eye, and the pointer turned, till the piston k, as shown by fiduciary marks v, w, just tends to overcome the eye-tension and compress the spring. By then turning the quadrant, which is sufficiently flexibly mounted, against the pointer, the needle u is caused to perforate a graduated paper scale in the frame s on the quadrant.

Abstract: 10,202. Fairweather, W., [Dickie, C., Lambert, F., and Staples, R.]. April 27. Catch gear of mine-cage type. - Relates to safety suspending-apparatus for mine cages, of the type in which wheels secured to rotating shafts engage the guides should the hoisting- rope break, and consists in forcing the wheels against the guides after their first engagement, by wedge devices operated by the rotating shafts. A frame B carried at the top of the cage is provided with slotted side members D in which are journaled shafts E carrying wheels G disposed on opposite sides of the guides F. Attached to the shafts are wires I which are also secured to the hoisting-rope, and normally hold the shafts E away from the guides against the influence of springs H.

Title: Improvements in the Conversion of Heavy Hydrocarbon Oils into Lighter Hydrocarbons.
Inventor: GREENSTREET CHARLES JASON
Filed: 1912-07-13
Granted: 1913-10-13
Abstract: 16,452. Greenstreet, C. J. May 13, [Convention date]. Hydrocarbon oils, cracking. - In converting heavy hydrocarbon oils into lighter hydrocarbons, the oil commingled with steam by means of an atomizer 4 is passed through a long continuous coil of pipe 2, which is free from obstructions and abrupt angles and is kept at a cherry temperature. The coil of pipe is preferably 100 ft. long and 1¢ in. in diameter, and the pressures at which the oil and steam are supplied are 50 and 100 lb. per sq. in. respectively. A portion of the products issuing from the coil is led to a test flame 80, and the proportion of the oil and steam is varied until the test flame is yellowish, the proportion of oil being afterwards slightly decreased. The products are led by a pipe 33 to a series of condenser tanks 34 ... 39, the temperature of the last of these being just above 100‹ C. The uncondensed vapours pass to a condenser 41; the resulting liquid collects in the gasolene tank 43 and is led to a still 45, where it is distilled by live steam. The distillate collecting in the condenser 53 is led away by a trapped pipe 55; the uncondensed vapours pass by a pipe 56 to oil-washers 57, 58; the residue in the still is discharged into a tank 47, into which the liquids from the condenser tanks 34 ... 39 also are led by a pipe 68. Any vapours evolved in the tank 47 are led to a reflux condenser 65. The liquid in the tank 47 is returned for further treatment in the coil 2. The oil is fed from the supply-tanks 8, 9 to the atomizer 4 under steam pressure; the oil used in the burner 27 for heating the coil 2 is also atomized by pressure steam. In operation, the coil 2 becomes coated internally with a smooth layer of magnetic iron oxide. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 19,036/95.

Granted: 1912-12-02
Abstract: 20,302. Hailwood, E. A. Nov. 2, 1911. Miners' and like safety lamps. - A fastening for a miner's safety lamp comprises a bolt A, which is adapted to engage a rack or recess and is a t t a c h e d to a plunger A' working in a cylinder L contained in any convenient part of the lamp frame. A spring S connects the plunger to a valve A<3>, Fig. 2, having a curved head A<6>. To unlock the lamp, the nozzle N of a compressed-air supply is pressed up into engagement with a rubber seating-ring O<1> on the lamp frame, thereby forcing the valve A<3> on to its seat at the end of the cylinder Land opening a spring-controlled supply valve N' in the nozzle. The compressed air passes up outside the cylinder L, through external apertures L<2>, on to the upper surface of the plunger and withdraws the bolt, the air from the interior of the plunger escaping through a passage A<5> in the bolt. The valve A<3> may be adapted to close the opening A<4> in the framework completely, in which case passages A<6> are provided. In an alternative arrangement, the valve A<3> is replaced by a bush screwing into the cylinder L. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, connexion is made with the air supply from the side, a nozzle N being pressed into an aperture P<2> to open a valve E and permit the passage of the air to the upper side of the plunger, the air escaping through side passages P<3>, P<4> if the nozzle is not completely inserted. In the case of an oil lamp, the passage of air through the passage P' during the insertion of the nozzle serves to blow out the flame. Fig. 7 shows a stand S carrying an air supply K and adapted to receive the lamp, which is connected up with the air supply by operating a treadle J<4>. The lamp is placed in a ring T having a gap T' and carried by a slide J, which is moved forward through a bell-crank J' and link J' when the treadle is operated to open a valve N, which may be of the form shown in Fig. 2.
