Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 23,372. Allgemeine Elektricitõts Ges. Oct. 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Dynamos, regulating.-A self-excited dynamo is regulated in a stable manner to give different voltages on the straight part O P, Fig. 7, of the machine characteristic K by the employment of a 'variator' resistance connected in parallel with the field-magnet regulating resistance or with a part thereof, or the connexions may 'be used with a part or parts of the field-magnet winding. The ' variator ' resistance is a resistance which will vary with the current passing through it, such as iron wire. In the diagram, the ordinates represent voltages and the abscissae represent exciting currents, the lines v<0> ... v# representing the resistance characteristics of the exciting circuit. The effect of the 'variator' resistances is shown in the initial bends given to the resistance lines so that these may sharply intersect the curve K in the rectilinear zone 0 P, thus allowing a wide range of stable working voltages to be obtained.

Title: Improvements in Valve Actions for Automatic Musical Instruments.
Filed: 1913-05-31
Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 12,724. Collen, R. H., and Broadwood & Sons, J. May 31. Actions. - In a pneumatic action having primary and secondary valves, compactness is obtained by arranging one valve to work through or within the other. Each action may be detached from the wind-chest independently of the others. A casing for the primary and secondary valves may be built up of channelled disks made of wood, metal, or vulcanite, and contained in a hollow cylinder. This casing and the corresponding striking-pneumatic are attached to opposite sides of the wind-chest. As shown in Fig. 1, the stem m of the primary valves n, p passes through a hole in the secondary valve h. Air is admitted through the pipe r from the tracker-bar to inflate the diaphragm q and lift the primary valve n, p, so cutting off the chamber l from the wind - chest c and admitting air to it through the hole in the secondary valve h. The diaphragm k is thus inflated to lift the secondary valve h, so closing the atmospheric connexion of the striking-pneumatic band connecting it to the wind-chest c. The striking- pneumatic b then collapses to sound a note. The valve casing is built up out of three layers as shown, and each action unit may be fixed to the wind-chest by a clamp which is secured by nuts to bolts extending along each side of the valve casing. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the secondary valve h is recessed to receive the primary valve n, and its stem is elongated and provided with lateral ports o to connect the chamber l to atmosphere or suction. The valve casing is built up out of three channelled disks t, u, v, which may be enclosed by a hollow cylindrical member y. Bolts secured to the wind-chest on each side of the valve-casing are connected by a crossmember which may be readily swung aside to release the valve casing. Specification 10,084/03 is referred to.

Inventor: DURAN CARLOS BONET
IPC: F02M71/00
Filed: 1913-12-18
Granted: 1914-12-17
Abstract: 29,267. Duran, C. B. Dec. 18. Pumps with air cushion between piston and liquid. -Fuel is supplied to a carburettor float chamber from a reservoir at lower level by a pump, the inlet and delivery valves of which are contained in a casting which is separated from the pump chamber by a conduit containing an air-vessel. With this arrangement the fuel pressure is constant, and since the fuel does not enter the pump chamber no damage to the packing occurs. The pump 26 which may be of the piston type actuated by a cam or of the diaphragm type actuated by the engine exhaust, both forms being described, is connected, by a pipe 24 and chamber 25, to the valve casting 14, which is in turn connected to the reservoir 27 and to the carburettor float chamber 30, an air-vessel 31 being provided. When the float valve is closed the pump merely compresses and expands air in the chamber 25 and no increase of pressure occurs. In a modification, an auxiliary vessel at a higher level than the float chamber is employed. This vessel is supplied by the pump, is connected to the float chamber, and has an overflow pipe to the fuel reservoir. The invention is particularly applicable to the carburettors of road vehicles.

Granted: 1914-05-07
Abstract: 1491. Semmler, C. Jan. 20. Heating water.-Water for heating &c. is heated in the jackets of internal-combustion engines, thus cooling the cylinders &c. at a pressure which prevents generation of steam there ; before passing to the place of use, its pressure may be reduced, if desired, either sufficiently to permit generation of steam for use in the heating-circuit or to a less extent. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a pump c forces the water into the jackets of the cylinders a and exhaust-pipe b of an internal-combustion engine. The water passes thence through a pressure-reducing valve d to the heating-system e and thence returns to the pump c. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, an accumulating-vessel f is provided. The water is drawn by the pump c from, and returned from the heating-system e to, the bottom of the vessel f and passes from the valve d to, and to the system e from, the top of the vessel f. In case the system e should not be able to utilize all the heat supplied to the jacket of the vessel a, an auxiliary heat-dissipating system k is provided to which the water passes by a valve i, which is opened automatically when the temperature or pressure in the vessel f becomes excessive.

Title: Improved Process for the Manufacture of Salts of the Complex Hydrofluoric Acids.
Filed: 1914-04-24
Granted: 1915-07-08
Abstract: 10,175. Siemens & Co., Gebr. April 30, 1913, [Convention date]. Borofluorides, silicofluorides, titanofluorides, and other complex fluorides are prepared by reacting with hydrofluoric acid on a mixture of a metal oxide, or salt such as a carbonate or chloride and an oxide such as boric acid, titanic acid, or silica, capable of forming complex fluorine acids. Examples are the production of potassium borofluoride from potash or potassium chloride or potassium borate and boric acid; potassium titano-fluoride from potassium chloride and titanic acid. When sodium salts are prepared, the process is modified if the products are soluble, the solution being concentrated and then purified. If sodium and potassium salts are prepared together, they may be separated by their differences of solubility.
