Patent GB-191111140-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Vapour Electric Devices.
IPC: H01J13/02
Filed: 1911-05-08
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 11,140. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.l. May 8. Low-pressure metallicvapour apparatus. - A mercury - vapour apparatus has an inner envelope of silica or other refractory material, as described in Specification 13,567/04, and is so arranged that, on tilting, the electrodes are connected by the mercury in the inner space only, discharge through the outer space being thus prevented. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the leading-in wires 6, 7 pass through orifices in the inner vessel 2; when the left-hand end is raised, the mercury in the outer vessel breaks contact with the leading-in wire at that end before making contact with the mercury at the other end. An orifice 3 connects the vapourspaces of the inner and outer vessels. The cathode connexion 5 consists of a chain of platinum, tungsten, or other heavy metal which does not readily alloy with mercury. The lower half of the tube 2 may be grooved longitudinally to facilitate starting. In a modification, the cathode end of the inner tube is open, and dips into the mercury in the corresponding limb of the outer vessel. In another modification, Fig. 4, the anode is a solid disk 14 in the inner tube, and the part of the leading-in wire exposed between the two tubes is protected by a small silica tube 13. The apparatus may be tilted automatically by a shunt magnet with a series cut-out.

Abstract: 16,708. Pelterie, R. Esnault-. Aug. 16, 1910, [Convention date]. Parachutes; shock of landing, deadening.-A shock-absorbing belt for preventing aviators from being turned out of their machine in case of a sudden and heavy landing comprises members A, B connected together in front of the aviator by a removable pin C and secured at the rear to fixed members H, I of the machine framing by means of elastic bands F, G. The belt may be combined with a parachute adapted to pull the aviator from his seat and enable him to effect a safe landing in emergency. In this case, the belt is detachably secured to the machine by buckles J engaging hooks X, and is connected by a rope K to a parachute L normally retained in folded position by a band of cloth N which is adapted to be torn away bv a cord O and spring Q when the spring is released by disengaging the buckle P from the hook V. A clamp M holds the apex of the folded parachute in position. The parachute, when inflated, rises upwards and effects the disengagement of the belt A from the hooks X.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Electric Storage Batteries.
Inventor: DAVIES GRIFFITH OWEN
IPC: H01M4/14
Filed: 1912-12-05
Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 28,086. Davies, G. O. Dec. 5. [Cognate Application, 2898/13.] Electrodes for lead accumulators. A PlantÚ electrode consists of a single deeply-corrugated lead-sheet a having flattened sides held between light slats e, which are supported or guided in top and bottom distance-pieces h, g, preferably no thicker than the corrugations. In the form shown, the bottom distance-piece g is grooved to hold the bottom edge of the lead a, and is secured to the side-slats e; the top distancepiece h is similarly grooved, but can slide over the side-slats to allow growth during formation. Afterwards the top-piece h is secured to the slats e, and may be used instead of the ends of the slats for lifting the electrode. Holes x in the top-piece allow gas to escape, and temporary cross-bars u, between which the electrode is clamped by rubber rings over their ends, prevent buckling during formation. A terminallug n is formed by bunching together a corrugated extension of the electrode, and is attached to a bar p extending along the top and partly down the sides. The corrugations in the lead sheet a may be a quarter or three-eighths of an inch deep, and preferably are vertical, so as to be washed by the electrolyte. The slats e may be half-round in section, and preferably are secured together and to the top and bottom pieces g, h, by pins f, but instead, the lead may be folded over them. They may consist of wood, celluloid, vulcanite, xylonite, or fibre, preferably coated with acid-proof paint. According to the Provisional Specification 28,086/12, pairs of quarter-round slats may be used, and the lead, which projects beyond them, is slit at intervals and folded back alternately in opposite ways, and soldered. A covering-strip may then be soldered over each pair. Single side-slats wrapped in the lead may be employed with horizontal strips. Top and bottom strips of channelled lead are soldered to the electrode, wooden or like strips are inserted in them, and the leaden edges are wrapped over and soldered. Solder may be run across the corrugations at intervals, and along those near the sides for a part of their depth, to give greater stiffness, and the strengthened edges may be soldered together. According to the Provisional Specification 2898/13, two electrodes and extensions to form terminals may be made from one sheet of lead cut in a zigzag. Separators. - According to the Provisional Specification 28,086/12, the pins used to unite the slats are long enough to act as distancepieces.

The bolts 10, Fig. 2, pass through slots 5<a>, 6<a>, 7<a>, and the parts are normally clamped firmly together by restraining- means such as wedges 13, 14. When the bar 7 expands, the wedge 13, which is provided with lugs 13<a>, 13<b>, is carried down and separated from the wedge 14, thus leaving the channel members free to expand independently of one another. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the bolt 15 is of a different form.

Abstract: 29,962. Marks, E. C. R., [Du Pont de Nemours Powder Co., E. I.]. Dec. 30. Olefines; chlorparaffins; alcohols; acetic esters. -Mixtures of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are treated with a reagent which forms additive compounds therewith, such as hydrochloric acid. The chlorparaffins produced are separated by distillation &c, from the unaffected unsaturated hydrocarbons, and the latter are then treated with a reagent at a higher temperature, additive compounds being again formed. In an example, a mixture of amylenes and hexylenes, obtained during the chlorination of a mixture of pentanes and hexanes with subsequent acetylation, is treated at ordinary temperatures with hydrochloric acid, and the remaining olefines are treated at 130-1400 C. with hydrochloric acid. Alcohols may be obtained from the chlorparaffins first produced, and acetates from those produced at the higher temperature.

Filed: 1913-04-08
Granted: 1913-08-28
Abstract: 8260. Golby, F. W., [Peterson, O.]. April 8. Propelling by reciprocating plates. - A reciprocating plate propeller comprises radial blades which form a complete circular plate on the operating stroke and feather into an edge-on position on the return stroke. A tube 9 is reciprocated by mechanism such as an engine, Figs. 1 and 3, and carries at an intermediate position an internal sleeve 21, in which are carried the shanks 22 of the blades 24. The inner ends of the shanks have bevels 26 which gear with bevels 27 on a sleeve 28 inside the section 21. A collar 29 in the tube 9 prevents endlong movement of the sleeve 28. At the ends of the stroke of the tube 9, a pin 32 and a cam in the guides 8 produce a rotary movement of the sleeve 28 which feathers the blades through the bevel-gearing. Springs 11 act as buffers for the sleeve 28. For reversing, the guide is turned through three-quarters of a revolution by hand gearing 46. The centre line of each blade does not coincide with the shank axis in order that the water pressure may act to keep the blades in the proper positions. Tangential lugs 47 support the blades against each other on the working stroke, and recesses 48 allow clearances for them when the reversing-gear is operated.
