Abstract: 27,358. Sparks, E. Dec. 6. Mantle supports ; mantles.-Relates to supports for flanged inverted mantles, of the kind in which the flange A is held on a ledge of the support by a ring C, there being no ring or the like projecting within the mantle. The support B is attached to a plate D on the burner by means of lugs, which are passed through recesses B' in the plate D and turned to rest on the plate. This may be fixed on the burner, or slotted so that it can be passed over lugs on the burper and turned to rest on them. The combustion products escape round the edge of the plate D. The Provisional Specification states also that the support may have an adjustable hook or other support to hold a loop or other attachment to the mantle; a ring or the like may be used to support an upright flanged mantle; and the flange on a mantle may be flat, angular, curved, or of other shape.

Electrodes; electrolytes; absorbents; gas exits; circulating liquids in cells having manganese, lead, or other depolarizers. A hollow carbon electrode 2 has its interior connected at the top and bottom by holes 5 to ventilating-passages 4 in the depolarizer, to increase the circulation of air, and is surrounded by an electrode of expanded metal such as zinc. The zinc must be of at least 99À5 per cent purity; up to 0À5 per cent of mercury may be added to the molten metal. Sheets of such zinc are expanded to double their area, the dimensions of the strands and spaces being specified. Carbons with a smooth, square, hexagonal, or preferably fluted surface may be used, and two of the grooves may be deep, to form the passages 4. In a dry cell, Figs. 1 and 2, the carbon with the depolarizer, which may be wrapped in fabric, is rolled up in one or two layers of expanded zinc 8, Fig. 2, previously covered and filled with a pasty electrolyte 7; the whole may be enclosed in porous fabric, and is wrapped in parchment paper and tarred paper, and tied with string. The electrolyte may contain 11 parts of sal-ammoniac, and 10 parts of chloride of zinc, magnesium, or aluminium, or other salt, made pasty with a mixture of 10 parts of rice flour or flakes, 4 parts of silicious earth, plaster, asbestos, fibres, or the like, and 60 parts of water. The carbon is slightly paraffined at the ends, and the assemblage may be placed in a cell as shown in Fig. 1 with a tight cover and a hole 13 at the bottom for air-circulation. In a wet cell, the carbon with the depolarizer is wrapped in blotting-paper having long fibres, then in expanded zinc, and finally in parchment or paraffined paper, and tied with string. The assemblage may stand in a little electrolyte, allowing access of air to assist depolarization; or it may be dipped in the electrolyte occasionally and wrapped in waterproof paper. Such cells may be used in field telegraphy and telephony. Specifications 8660/07 and 18,082/07 are referred to.

Abstract: 28,432. Graaff & Co., W. Dec. 9, 1912, [Convention date]. Extincteurs; chemicals and substances. - Relates to extincteurs of the type in which the pressure gas is generated in a separate inner vessel, from which it escapes and forces out the extinguishing - liquid from the main container. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the removable inner vessel k is divided by a perforated plate m into two chambers, the lower containing alkaline solution p and the upper a glass vessel o of acid, above which is a perforated plate t surmounted by a lead &c. plate n tightly closing the vessel k. A spring- pressed bolt s is driven inwards to pierce the plate n and break the vessel o, and the gas escapes through perforations q into the main container, which may contain carbon tetrachloride. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, the acid-vessel o is placed in a metallic casing w, which has at its lower end an opening closed by a lead or other plate y and is stayed from the walls of the vessel k by springs x. When the percussion bolt is operated, as in the other construction, the sealing-plate n is pierced, and the casing w is forced downwards against a pointed device v, which pierces the plate y and opens the vessel o. In a modification, the chemicals are separated by a non - perforated plate m adapted to be pierced when a bolt is depressed. The gases may be generated by mixing sodium peroxide and water; or an explosive mixture, such as gunpowder, may be employed. The discharge pipe d may be fitted with a handle and a spring-pressed valve having an operating-handle.

Abstract: 28,943. Spiess, G. Dec. 15. Tripping-arrangements. - In sheet-feeding apparatus, the combing-rolls to which the sheets are supplied in fanned-out condition are tripped by a spring-actuated toggle, one member of which is in rigid connexion with an arm yieldingly held in engagement with, and controlled by, the carrier for the feeler. Resetting of the feeler-carrier and toggle is effected by a lug or cam preferably mounted on the cam for operating the upper forwarding roll. The feeler I is pivotally mounted in a carrier H pivoted at its upper part to the frame and provided with a projection N, against the inclined end of which a bowl M carried by an arm L fixed to a shaft P is yieldingly heldby a spring L', a spring- controlled bevel-ended pin K serving to retain the parts. The shaft P carries one arm F of a toggle, the other arm E of which acts through levers D, C, B to operate the roll A. Each sheet fed by the combing-rolls A to the forwarding- rolls U turns the feeler I into engagement with a revolving toothed wheel O, which thereby swings the carrier H so as to disengage the pin K from the arm L, thus permitting the spring G to straighten the toggle F, E and raise the roll A out of action. The parts are reset by a lug R, on the cam S operating the forwarding roll U, acting to swing the carrier H and break the toggle, the pin K being again brought into locking position.
