Title: Improvements in Methods of and Means for Demonstrating Certain Properties of Liquid Films.
Inventor: BOYS CHARLES VERNON
IPC: G01N21/43
Filed: 1911-07-20
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 16,732. Boys, C. V. July 20. Optical apparatus.-The invention consists in a method of, and apparatus for, demonstrating certain properties of liquid films, particularly the development of their colours, by subjecting a liquid film made of soap solution, melted resin, or the like, to rotational forces while in contact on one or both sides with a rotating elastic fluid, and also in modifying the above process by the application of vapours to the film during rotation. The apparatus, which is intended to serve either as an attractive toy or a philosophical apparatus, comprises a box or cup a, Fig. 1, arranged for rapid rotation and provided with a transparent cover m preferably fitting on to an inturned rim which carries the film k. When uniform conditions have been established, the whole apparatus, which may be regarded as a vessel divided by a film into two chambers, with the enclosed air, rotates as one body. The film may be carried either by a detachable ring i, Fig. 1, or directly by the rim b, Fig. 6, of the spinning cup a. In both cases the edge is chamfered so that the film may lie accurately in a plane, and, in order that the film may be plane, an air vent 8 is provided to equalize pressures above and below it. If a convex or concave film is required, the vent may be closed with solution. The covers may be of glass or celluloid, and may be conical, as shown in Fig. 1, or convex. In the latter case, they may have cylindrical extensions. When it is desired to treat the film with vapours, a cover with a hole at the apex, or an inverted funnel is used, which causes a current of air to enter at the apex and escape at the rim. If the film cup is spun without a cover, the hole 8 being open, the depression of the film gives an indication of the centrifugal force of the rotating air. If the hole 8 is closed, the film is depressed at the centre and humped at the periphery. The film may be rotated in an horizontal, inclined, or vertical plane. In the last case, Fig. 8, an ovoid body 15, such as a small blown egg, may be placed in the film and rest on the rim. During rotation, the egg rolls and jumps on the rim, its maximum section remaining in the film. A mirror o, Fig. 1, may be arranged so that two sets of colours may be witnessed simultaneously, one set seen direct and the other by reflection. The complete apparatus is packed in a partitioned case f, Fig. 1, together with bottles 6, 7 of solution. The case is provided with bearings e, in which the axle d of the film cup may be mounted, so that, when the lid of the case is removed, the axle may be rotated by hand. The weight of the cup is taken by a steel ball h. The lid 2 of the box, Fig. 3, is formed with a stepped member 3 to support the case in inclined positions, pins 4 engaging a recess 5 in the case.
