Patent GB-191115767-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Producing Typographic Record Sheets.
Inventor: BLUME MAX ERICH
IPC: B41B25/00
Filed: 1911-07-06
Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 15,767. Blume, M. E. July 6. Strip - perforating machines; keyboards and driving-mechanism. - Relates to strip-perforating machines controlled from a typewriter to produce record strips for controlling typographic machines, for example metal-stamping machines. (1) The strip-feed is pneumatic, and is reversed at the end of each line, since the strip is adapted for use in a stamping-machine which works in opposite directions alternately. Further, each time the feed is reversed, the strip is fed forward by the length of a line, to provide space for the next line of perforations. The strip 6 is carried by two rollers 7, Fig. 9, and is fed alternately in opposite directions by pawls 39, 38 at opposite ends of an arm 36 actuated from the typewriter keys through a universal bar h, a valve 27, and a piston 31. In order that the valve 27 may be open a short time only, the universal bar h operates the valve-rod k, Fig. 11, through a lever m adapted to be displaced by a fixed abutment o. The feed is reversed by the carriage - return lever 53, which, through gear - wheels 52, 51, 50, 49, actuates an eccentric 46 operating cover-plates 40, 41 carried by a rod 44, and adapted to trip the feed-pawls alternately. The lever 53 also operates a secondary feed-pawl 57, which, at the end of every line, feeds the strip forward by the length of a line. (2) The pneumatic punches 5, Fig. 5, are connected by pipes 4 to valves 3, Fig. 4, which are open to exhaust when valves c are depressed by the stems e of the typewriter keys. The key-stems embrace the upper ends of the valve rods d with an amount of endlong play such that the valves are only open during the latter part of the key depression. The punch-rods g are carried by spring-returned pistons f, the punches being driven forward by atmospheric pressure when the pipes 4 are open to exhaust. The punch-rods g are grooved to admit air above the piston to effect a quick return. (3) Since the characters of the stamping-machine are of varying widths, an indicator is provided to show the length of line that will be occupied by the characters when stamped. This indicator consists of a scale moved past a fixed pointer by a spring or weight, under the control of a differential escapement, for example a rack and a co-operative pawl actuated by stops on the punch-rods, so that the pawl is released from the rack for a time varying in proportion to the size of the stamped letter.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Magnetite Electrodes.
IPC: C25B11/04
Filed: 1911-07-24
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 16,902. Chemische Fabrik Buckau. July 22, 1910, [Convention date]. Electrodes of magnetite for use in the electrolysis of solutions of chlorides, bromides, or the like are formed by the action of steam at a high temperature on the interior of tubes or grooved or channel-shaped bodies of iron. A layer of oxide grows inwardly, and is thus rendered compact by the pressure of the particles on one another. Any iron remaining may be removed by mechanical, electrolytic, or other means. Tubes of rectilinear cross-section may be used.

Abstract: 29,008. Pointon, J. E. Dec. 23. Rotary stirrers. - In rubber - masticating machines of the type comprising a steam-heated trough divided into two intercommunicating compartments in each of which is placed a rotating blade, the blades and trough are specially shaped. The well d between the two compartments of the trough rises slightly from the ends towards the middle, as shown in Fig. 3. Above the blades, cheeks care secured to the sides of the trough, stretching half across each compartment of the trough at one end and tapered away towards the other as shown in Fig. 2, Each shaft carries two blades f, g. The blade f is V-shaped with the point of the V nearer one end of the trough than the other. The blade g is uniformly inclined to the shaft, and extends as far as the longer side of the V-shaped blade on the other side of the trough. The arrangement of the blades is such that the longer side of the blade f on one shaft and the blade g and the shorter side of the blade f on the other act to drive the rubber in the same direction along the trough. The ends of the blades may be shaped as shown at h, Fig. 5, to prevent the rubber from getting between them and the ends of the trough.

Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 9612. Reed, C. J. April 23. Iron, cobalt, and nickel, depositing; sulphuric acid and oxygen, obtaining; electrodes.-Anodes of spongy lead are used in depositing these metals from sulphate solutions, and become converted into lead sulphate, instead of free acid being formed which hinders deposition. The spongy lead may be supported on leadantimony grids. Cathodes of nickel, aluminium, carbon or copper sheets may be used, with an electrolyte of nickel sulphate, for instance, which is replenished periodically. Metals such as copper, manganese, and magnesium cannot be deposited in this manner. Lead anodes which have become sulphated may be re-used after being reduced as cathodes in dilute sulphuric acid, either with anodes which combine with the sulphuric acid formed, or preferably with lead peroxide anodes. Oxygen is then evolved at the anodes, where it may be collected by hoods, and sulphuric acid is produced, the excess being drawn off periodically and the remaining electrolyte diluted. When sulphuric acid is to be obtained from the sulphated anodes, these must be freed from soluble matters such as lead chloride and zinc sulphate, preferably by washing with hot water, which is forced through them.

Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 16,275. Hiorth, A. Oct. 5, 1911, [Convention date]. Ore processes; gases, withdrawing from one zone and returning to another.-For the direct production of iron or steel, a charge of ore, without or with only a slight addition of carbonaceous matter is heated in a shaft furnace by introducing into the lower part gases rich in carbon monoxide which have been heated in electric-flame furnaces, and by introducing gas and air or oxygen into the upper part; the gases are produced in a gas-producer working preferably on the Mond system, and are treated for the recovery of nitrogen compounds prior to their introduction into the electric furnaces, from which they pass to the shaft furnace through a hearth furnace receiving the molten metal from the shaft furnace. The gases from the top of the shaft furnace may be introduced with oxygen into the gas-producer, or a greater or smaller amount of such gases may be used in Siemens regenerators to pre-heat the gases from the purifying - plant. Carburation may be effected by blowing carbon powder or crude oil into the gases entering the shaft furnace, and the metal from the hearth furnace may be treated in an electric furnace for expelling gases.. The arrangement shown diagrammatically consists of a shaft furnace A, a gas-producer B, gas-purifying apparatus C, a fan D, electric flame-arc furnaces E, and a hearth furnace F. The gases leaving the purifying- apparatus may be preheated by passage through a jacket around the shaft furnace and the upper parts of the hearth and electric furnaces.

Abstract: 12,266. Davison, S. M. May 26. Subaqueous sound signals.-Solids of low specific gravity and having sound - conducting qualities approximating to those of water, for instance, paraffin or other waxes, resin, pitch, shellac. &c. are used as sound-conveying media in apparatus for receiving subaqueous signals, highly-conductive connexions between the microphone and the ship's hull being avoided. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, an opening in the ship's hull b is filled with a block of paraffin wax c, supported by a metal container k, and the microphone d is embedded in a second block of wax c<1>, which is pressed against the block c by a screw-threaded flange-ring j<1>. The sensitive parts are sound-insulated from the hull by rubber shells h<3>, m. To change or inspect the microphone, a gate-valve n is raised and the ring j<1> is unscrewed. To avoid the wear caused by water-friction, the block c may be faced with a thin high-pitch metal diaphragm l. An external casing may be provided, to afford a vacuum or gas-filled insulating-jacket. In modifications, the microphone is contained in a wax-filled chamber inside the hull b, or communicating with the water by one or more holes in the hull. In this case the sound-receiving area may be made very large. The invention is also applicable in the construction of " overboard " receivers.
