Granted: 1910-12-20
Abstract: 27,003. Soc. Anon. ElectromÚtallurgigue (ProcÚdÚs Paul Girod). Nov. 20. [Addition to 26,588/09.] Cast-iron processes.-The refining of steel by cooling a partly-refined charge in an electric furnace, as described in the parent Specification, is effected by cooling to near the point of fusion, say 1250-1300‹ C., and the operation may be carried out in any non-oxidizing furnace. The temperature of the charge may be lowered and raised more than once before the final refining, between which stages, or before first cooling, iron oxide, or one or more reducing-agents such as carbon and silicon, may be added. If the phosphorus content be large, the initial temperature is maintained until complete oxidation is effected, the necessary carbon, manganese, and silicon being added before cooling.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Closing the Doors of Retorts, Coke Ovens or the like.
IPC: C10B25/12
Filed: 1909-03-08
Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 27,919. Ofenbau-Ges. March 8, [Convention date]. Coke-oven, retort, and like doors.-A coke oven or like door 2, of the kind pivoted at the top of its door-frame 4, is secured against the frame by pivoted hooked rods 20 adapted to engage with pins 25 upon each side of the frame, the rods being operated bv the movement of a weighted lever 10 acting through levers mounted on the door. The lever 10, Fig. 1, comprising two parallel arms pivoted to brackets 9 on the door, acts through parallel toggle-levers 14, and causes the hooked rods 20 to move longitudinally against the pins 25. When the lever 10 is raised, it contacts with a cross-bar 23 on weighted extensions 21 of the hooked rods 20, so that the extensions are raised and the rods released from engagement with the pins. The weighted end of the lever may be guided until it strikes the cross-bar 23. In a modification, Fig. 4, the weighted lever 29 is mounted on a transverse rod formed with cranks 32, upon which the hooked rods 20 are pivoted. The hooked rods are rotated out of engagement with the pins 25 by an upward movement of the lever 29 against the cross-bar 23, as in the apparatus described above.

Title: Improvements in Power Transmitting Mechanism.
Inventor: BISSELL JOSEPH EMERY
Filed: 1910-02-14
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 3607. Bissell, J. E. Feb. 14. Variable - speed ratchet gearing.- Power is transmitted from a motor to ratchet mechanisms on two independent shafts by pairs of yieldinglyengaging telescopic rods which alternately drive the ratchet mechanisms on the driver shafts, and power-storing springs are arranged to drive either shaft when the motor is in operative connexion with the other shaft. The piston-rods 5 of the motor 4 are extended rearwards and are fitted with pistons 7, Fig. 5, working in air cylinders 6 connected to the driving- mechanism by jointed rods 24. The pistons 7 engage heads- 8 on the piston-rods, and shoulders on the rods 24 engage the cylinder covers. The rear end of each rod 24 is pivoted to a crank 21 loosely mounted on the divided axle of the vehicle between dog clutches 29, 31 adapted respectively for forward and reverse driving. The clutch member 29 drives, by a ratchetroller clutch 51, a disk 37 coupled by a coiled spring 38 to the live axle 25. Backward motion of the disk 37 is prevented during forward driving by roller ratchets 55 engaging a non- rotating annulus 43. The reversedriving clutch 50 is mounted directly on the axle 25. Reversal is effected by rocking the shafts 33, thereby moving the crank 21 endwise on the axle 25, and also moving the retaining-annulus 43 into the required position. The cylinders 6 are supplied with compressed air through non-return valves from a reservoir 12 in connexion with a compressor 13. The amplitude of oscillation of the crank 21 and the speed of the vehicle depend upon the air pressure in the cylinders 6, which pressure is controlled by a cock.

The leaf springs 13 are held in grooves 8 in the cross-bar 7 by screws 14, and their other ends are secured between plates 9 having bifurcated arms 11, and by screws 17 attached to the sound-box casing. The portions of the leaf springs 13 left free are very small in order to maintain the axis of oscillation of the stylus-bar in the plane of the diaphragm, and to prevent side oscillations.

Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 7463. Felten & Guilleaume-Lahmeyerwerke Akt.-Ges. April 27, 1909, [Convention date]. Bearing currents, preventing; windings.-To prevent bearing currents or shaft voltages from being set up in dynamo-electric machines, due, for example, to unsymmetrical construction of the stator or rotor caused by joints &c., an auxiliary ring winding comprising a number of electrically - opposed sections a', a<2>, a<3>, a<4>, Figs. 3 and 4, is arranged upon the stator S so as to be influenced by and counteract the field fluctuations. The auxiliary winding may be closed on itself, or the resultant voltage induced therein may be used to excite the windings of one or more sheet-iron rings e', e<2>, Fig. 4, which are located around the shaft w and serve to induce a voltage therein, equal and opposed to the shaft voltage. The current supplied to the rings e<1>, e<2> may be regulated by means of a transformer t, by resistances, or by varying the number of turns of the rings.

Delivery apparatus.-In a machine for cutting u p counter check and like books which are manufactured in the form of a strip, means are provided for delivering and collecting in order the cut strips. The strips to be cut are received in the cutting position by a series of chutes t, t<1> shown in dotted lines, each of which comprises a lower guide t carried by a rock-shaft u and an upper spring-controlled guide t<1> pivoted to vertically reciprocable rods v. After the cutting operation the chutes are lowered to the position shown in full lines, thereby discharging the books on to a travelling band p. A stop x serves to keep the upper guide t<1> horizontal in its upper position. From the band p the books fall in vertical position between a horizontally reciprocated fence y<1> and a vertically reciprocable prong fence z, the fence y<1> serving to pile the books against a movable fence z<2>, and the fence z serving to retain them in vertical position when the fence y<1> retires. In a modification, the books may be received from the band p by the pockets of curved revolving vanes adapted to deliver them in numerical sequence on to a travelling band or platform.
