Abstract: 22,221. Welin, A., [Lundin, A. P.]. Oct. 9. [Cognate Application, 6499/12.] Jib cranes. - Comprises a jib crane in which the lower portion of the jib is bifucated and forms two toothed quadrants 2 which roll on fixed racks 3 carried by the frame 4. The crane is mounted on a turntable, which may itself be carried on a wheeled truck, and slueing is effected by a motor-driven pinion 6 engaging with a circular rack 7. The jib is luffed by a motor 11 through a screw 10 and a nut 9 which is pivoted to the jib. Horizontal traverse of the load during luffing is effected by passing the hoisting- rope 13 over a pulley 17 on the end of an arm 19, which is pivoted to the jib and supported by a rope 18 passing over the jib-head. This rope may be secured to the frame 4, but in the arrangement shown, it is connected to a chain which passes over pulleys 21 and 26 on the frame and is secured to the lower end of the jib. Modifications are described in which the rope or chain 18, (1) after passing over the pulley 21 is secured to the frame, but first passes over another pulley carried by a lever pivoted on the jib and linked to the frame ; (2) passes over a cam in place of the pulley 21. the cam being either rotated by the chain itself or by the jib when it has reached certain position; (3) is secured to one arm of a threearmed lever, the second arm being connected directly to the jib, and the third connected to a rope passing over the pulley 26 before being fastened to the jib; (4) passes over the pulleys 21 and 26 and is secured to the jib, but is also secured to the end of an arm pivoted to the frame between the two pulleys. The jib is balanced by a rope 37 connected to an arm 32 which is pivoted to the frame and carries a slidable weight 33. Two or more jibs may be carried on one frame. Fig. 10 shows a plan of an arrangement for carrying three jibs slueing independently about the same centre,

Abstract: 4981. VellerÞ, A. Feb. 28. Ground and like levers; spring and weight control.-A ground lever for operating 'railway points &c. comprises a base-plate on which the hand-lever is pivotally mounted, a slide connected to the points and movable on the baseplate, a link pivotally connected at its upper end to the hand-lever and at its lower end to the slide, stops on the base-plate which form abutments against which the link bears, and a weight or spring for forcing the hand-lever longitudinally downwards. In the construction shown in side elevation in Fig. 2, the hand-lever 1 is mounted on the pivot 18 so as to be free to move longitudinally against the spring 22, and the slide 8, connected to the lever 1 by the link 4, is adapted to reciprocate in guides 16 which also act as abutments for limiting the movements of the lever. The abutments are provided with antifriction rollers 23 for engaging the link 4 during the movement of the lever. This arrangement of the spring-pressed lever 1 and link 4 renders it impossible for the track points to remain in an intermediate position.

IPC: B61L5/10
Filed: 1912-04-30
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 10,210. Kershaw, A. G. April 30. Signals and points, interlocking.-In a facing-point detector apparatus such as described in Specification 10,709/95 in which the slide receives movements in one direction from the locking bolt and the points blades during the reversal of the points, the slide is moved during any reversal by that blade only which is moving away from the stock rail. The stretcher bars 3, 3<a> have projections 6, 6<a> engaging the end of a lever 7, which is pivoted to the slide bar 9 and has a sliding-rocking attachment 8 to the locking-bolt 5, by which its inclination to the bar 9 is varied. The lever 7 is rocked about a fulcrum between the projections 6, 6<a> when the locking-bolt 5 is moved, and about its attachment 8 to the bolt 5 when the points tongues are moved. When the points are locked in the position shown by the bolt 5 being moved to the right, the attachment 8 slides along the lever 7 which pivots about the projections 6, 6<a>, and pushes the rod 9 in an upward direction in the Figure. If in reversal of the points the blade 1 has not been moved, owing to a defect, the lever 7 is not held between the projections 6, 6", and then pivots about the pin-joints to the rod 9, which remains stationary.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 13,775. Prettner, F., and Walchensteiner, J. June 12. Working-fluid supply; regulating; cooling parts.-The rotor wheel 1 of a turbine is divided centrally by a ring 5, the two parts of the wheel being connected, by nozzles 4, with combustion chambers 3 which are alternately charged by a double-acting pump 22 with gas and by a cylinder 11 with air. The piston 14 of the cylinder 11 is reciprocated by links connected to a shaft 15 driven by a chain 16 from the turbine shaft 17. A crank 24 or eccentric on the shaft 15 is connected through a Stephenson link 25 with the pump 22. The position of the pump rod relatively to the link 25 is controlled by a governor 26 driven by the turbine shaft, and the fuel supply is thereby regulated. The pistons 6 of the combustion chambers may be perforated, or the opposite ends of the chambers may be in communication with each other. Normally the pistons cover the nozzles 4, the piston rods being connected to a spring-controlled link 19 coacting with a cam on the shaft 15. During the forward stroke of the piston 14 one chamber 3 is charged, and on the return stroke the other chamber is charged. After charging has been effected, the piston 6 is lowered by the spring 21 and the sparking element 8 carried by the piston 6 is separated from that carried by the cylinder so that the mixture is exploded. Fans 27 on the spokes of the wheel 1 draw in air through apertures 29 and force it through jackets 28 arranged about the turbine casing, the combustion chambers, and the compression cylinders. The turbine may be started by hand, or in the case of large apparatus a compressed - air reservoir 30 may be connected to the turbine by a pipe 32. The reservoir may be charged from the cylinder 11 through the pipe 31.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Reduction of Zinc Ores in the Electric Furnace.
Inventor: JOHNSON WOOLSEY MCALPINE
IPC: C22B19/00
Filed: 1912-12-03
Granted: 1913-12-03
Abstract: 27,881. Johnson, W. M. Oct. 17, [Convention date]. Distilling zinc; roasting; matte processes.- In the electric reduction of complex zinc ores, sulphiding of the zinc vapour is prevented by causing metallic iron and copper to be formed in the mass and to combine with the sulphur of the furnace charge during the subsequent reduction of the zinc compounds. The ore is first roasted at a temperature not exceeding 1,000‹ C., to reduce the sulphur to a minimum and decompose the sulphates other than those of lead, calcium, and barium. It is then treated with reducing-agents in a preheating-furnace to reduce the remaining sulphates to sulphides and to reduce to metal the oxides of iron and copper present. The product is then treated in an electric furnace wherein the iron and copper pass into oxides which enter the slag, and into sulphide compounds which form a matte, the temperature of which is so regulated that sulphur and sulphidizing-gases are not evolved. The zinc vapours may be passed through a deoxidizing-body of carbon on their way to the condenser.

IPC: C01B15/032
Filed: 1913-05-01
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 10,292. Bariumoxyd Ges. May 1, 1912, [Convention date]. Hydrogen peroxide.-Concentrated and stable solutions of hydrogen peroxide are prepared by treating metal peroxides, the metal of which gives difficultly soluble phosphates, with sufficient concentrated phosphoric acid to effect the decomposition, and separating the precipitated phosphate from the solution. Barium, calcium, or magnesium peroxides may be employed, and the small quantity of barium dissolved in the peroxide is separated by adding sulphuric acid or a sulphate. The phosphoric acid can be recovered from the phosphate by treating with sulphuric acid, or phosphoric and sulphuric acids can be jointly employed for decomposing peroxide. In this case, it is preferable first to decompose a certain quantity of peroxide with phosphoric acid, and then add sulphuric acid and barium peroxide alternately.
