Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 19,247. Soc. F. & G. Longuemare FrÞres. Oct. 24, 1910, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors.-To get normal mixture at low and high engine speeds and enriched mixture when accelerating, two jets are provided and an auxiliary reservoir of fuel. The auxiliary jet comprises a tube 9 passing axially through the main jet and terminating at the upper end in a pocket 15. For slow running. the main supply of mixture is closed, and mixture is drawn from the pocket 15, the air passing up the annular space 17 and through the adjustable opening 18. The main jet comprises a socket 2 with internal chamber 5 surmounted by a flanged cap 4 and provided with oblique radial passages 6 terminating in a common groove 7 in such a manner as to produce the distribution of the fuel in an horizontal sheet. The two jets are led from a common passage 10 communicating, firstly, with the constant level chamber through an adjustable passage 22, and secondly, with the reservoir 20 by passages 27, the reservoir communicating with the atmosphere by the passage 25. At low speeds, only the auxiliary jet is in action and the reservoir 20 is not drawn upon. When the valve 12 is opened above the main jet, the suction draws upon the reservoir 20. At high speeds air is drawn into the passage 10, making a kind of emulsion which damps the supply of fuel to the engine.

Title: Automatic Sectioning Means for Limiting Accidental Interruptions of Current Supply in Central Stations.
Inventor: BRANDENBURG EDWIN
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 1911-09-25
Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 21,149. Brandenburg, E. Oct. 10, 1910, [Convention date]. Systems of charging and discharging galvanic batteries; systems depending on the use of two or more machines. - Installations comprising generators normally running in parallel are provided with accumulators to feed damaged sections, the sound sections being automatically disconnected from the accumulators by an overload in conjunction with a flow of current from the generator to the accumulator. The object of the automatic disconnexion is to prevent the discharge to damaged sections from being impeded by the increased charging effect from overloaded sections. The system may be further provided with automatic sectionalizing-switches on the bus-bars, as described in Specification 21,001/11, in order that any sound section, the generator of which happens not to be running at the time when the running generators are overloaded in consequence of damage to one of them, takes up its share of the overload and opens its accumulator switch concurrently with the accumulator switches of the overloaded running generators. As shown in Fig. 4, a bus-bar section 6, 7, which in this case is fed by two generators 3, 4 and has its automatic sectionalizing-switch 24 on the right-hand side of the section controlled by an arrangement similar to those described in the above-mentioned Specification, is connected through leads 12, 13 to a pair of conductors 8, 9 fed by a battery 11 common to all the sections. The battery is thus fed by all the active generators during periods of normal working. When one of the sections is so damaged as to cause either or both of the generators 3, 4 to be overloaded, the overload relays 22, 23 energize the relay 29, which sends current from a battery 16, through contacts previously closed by a reverse-current relay 17, and energizes a winding 15 adapted to open the switch 14 for cutting-off this section from the accumulators 11. If a generator such as b, Fig. 2, does not happen to be running at the time when an overload comes upon a generator a, the sectionalizing-switch between them being closed, both sections take up the overload, and both accumulator switches e, f are opened. The discharge of the battery into damaged sections opens their reverse - current relays 17, and thus keeps closed the corresponding automatic switches 14. The simpler arrangements without automatic sectionalizing- switches are also described.

The arms l can be turned out of the way of the walls e to permit these to be opened and to effect lateral adjustment of the arms. The parts o are provided with a projection which by frictional contact with the front wall b prevents the arms from falling from the vertical position. The back wall of the file is made low to facilitate access to the letters.

Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 13,057. Polo, J. B. June 3. Deflation of tyres, means for indicating.-A hissing sound is automatically given when the pressure in a pneumatic tyre rises above or falls below a predetermined range of pressure. A casing bored at 2, 3, 4 can be screwed on to the stem 8 of a tyre-valve, and is provided with a fixed pin 31 which engages the nipple 30 of the tyre-valve and puts the tyre into pneumatic connexion with the valved bores 2, 3, Figs. 2 and 5, but not with 4, Fig. 3. The bore 2 contains a safety-valve, which on the pressure becoming excessive permits air to pass down it and through the passage 32 into an annular groove 35 in the plug 34 screwed into the bore 4. The air then issues by a cut-away portion 36 and hole 33 into the atmosphere, giving a hissing signal. The desired maximum pressure can be regulated by the set-screw 20. The bore 3 contains a doubleheaded valve-rod 26, the head 25 of which is normally pressed upon the inwardly facing seat 23. When the pressure falls to a limit determined by the thumb-screw 28, the valve opens and gives a hissing signal as described above, total deflation being prevented by the action of the spring 27 which subsequently presses the outer head upon the outwardly-facing valve seat 24. The device is protected by a detachable cap 37.

Title: A Process for the Removal and Recovery of Carbon Bisulphide from Substances Containing the same.
IPC: C01B31/26
Filed: 1912-07-05
Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 15,777. Illingworth, S. R., and Gas Lighting Improvement Go. July 5. Carbon bisulphide is removed and recovered from liquid or solid substances by treating with an alcohol and an alkali, separating the resultant salt of an alkyl sulphothiocarbonic acid, and treating this with acid for the separation of the bisulphide. In an example, benzol is treated with alcoholic potash, and water is added to dissolve the xanthate. The layers of liquid are separated, and carbon bisulphide is separated by adding acid continuously to the xanthate solution. Or the xanthate may be filtered off, and the benzol washed, the washwaters being used to dissolve the separated xanthate. The layer of bisulphide is separated from the acidified liquid, and the alcohol may be recovered by neutralizing and distilling the remaining liquor. The alcohol may be replaced by commercial ethyl alcohol, wood spirit, a fusel oil, and hydroxide or oxide, of an alkali or alkaline-earth metal, or a methoxide, ethoxide, or propoxide may be used instead of the caustic potash.
