Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 27,484. Dick, B. Nov. 25. Drawings to Specification. Inductive telegraphy, telephony, and signalling. -The transmitting and receiving coils extend over the whole or greater part of the supporting-frame, the convolutions in some forms being wound on a spiral iron strip. The frame may be square, circular, conical, spherical, &c., or the coil may be secured to the framework of balloons, aeroplanes, road and railway vehicles, or to the sails and riggings of ships, the roofs or sides of buildings, &c. The coil may also be formed on a collapsible frame like an umbrella. For duplex signalling, transmitting and receiving coils are provided at each station, and are arranged to overlap partly, so that currents in the transmitting-coil produce no effect on the receiving-coil. Several doublywound forms of coil are described which fulfil this condition, peripheral coils being combined with the spiral coils referred to above. Two or more coils, connected in parallel or in series, may be used for transmitting or receiving. The circuits may be tuned by capacity and inductance. A local battery may be permanently connected to the receiving-coil, and, at the transmitting-station, microphone currents may be superposed on a heavy-current circuit connected to the transmitting-coil. The received current may be rectified by means of carborundum or an electrolytic cell containing sodium phosphate solution.

Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 28,487. Imbert Process Co. Dec. 24, 1908, [Convention date]. Matte processes; dry processes of extracting zinc and lead.-In processes for precipitating zinc from sulphide ores by the use of a molten reacting metal, lead slags are used as a "dissolvent" for the ore, which is first fluidified at a low temperature by melting with the lead slag, the molten mass then being run into the reaction chamber, where it comes into contact with the molten reacting-metal, preferably cast iron. The zinc is precipitated and collected, any lead present, together with that in the slag, being also reduced, and collected separately.

Title: Improvements in Pumps and Fluid Pressure Motors.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F01B3/00
Filed: 1910-03-02
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 5260. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Home, J. March 2. Revolving-cylinder pumps.-In a pump or fluid-pressure motor of the revolving-cylinder type having the axes of the cylinders arranged parallel to the axis of rotation, the end thrust exerted by the fluid upon the end of the rotating barrel is taken up by ball or other antifriction bearings so that excessive wear of the valve-port faces is avoided. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the rotating barrel A containing the cylinders A<1> is formed with a reduced portion a containing ports A<2> which engage with inlet and outlet ports formed in a separate valve member C. The end thrust on the barrel is taken by ball bearings D disposed between the shoulder of the barrel A and the outer casing, and the valve C is pressed against the end of the barrel with sufficient force to secure a fluid-tight joint by pressure fluid, which is admitted from the pump delivery to an annular chamber c'. Lubricating-oil is circulated through the casing by the pump E and pipe c<2>, packing e<3> being provided to prevent the oil from mixing with the fluid in the motor or pump, or vice versa. In a modification, the ports A<2> are arranged radially in an extension of the barrel A, and the inlet and outlet ports are correspondingly arranged in the casing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Type-lever Mechanism of Typewriters and the like.
Inventor: SPIRO CHARLES
IPC: B41J5/26
Filed: 1911-05-18
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 12,045. Spiro, C. May 18. Trype-lever actions; keys.-(1) In front-strike actions the type-levers C are connected to the key-levers F through sub-levers. which, for the purpose of giving an easy touch, are arranged so that the movement of the type-lever is relatively small during the first part of the keystroke. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the arm D of the sub-lever is initially at an obtuse angle to a link E which is connected to a lug C<2> on the type-lever, and the arm D<1> of the sub-lever is approximately at right-angles to a link E<1> which is connected to the key-lever. The arrangement is such that only part of swing of the sub-lever is communicated to the typelever, the other part being lost in swinging the link E idly. The lost-motion decreases during the stroke and almost vanishes at the end, the arm D being then approximately vertical. Alternatively, the sub-levers may be arranged so that the angle between the arms D<1> and the links E' is obtuse. The type-levers are pivoted at C<1> on a segment B and rest on a pad C<2*> which is shielded by a plate C'. The segment B is formed with a flange B<2> which is slotted to receive the sub-levers, these being pivoted on a wire D<3> which passes through the slots and is secured at the ends by screws. The type-levers at the sides of the segment have a smaller lift and thus a less resistance than those in the middle, and to compensate for this difference the arms D of the sub-levers are successively increased in length and the angles between the links E and the arms Dare successively decreased from the middle of the segment outwards. Specification 8346/01 is referred to. (2) The following arrangements are provided for giving a positive' bottom ' or stop to the keylevers and for adjusting the touch. The universal bar H, pivoted at H<1> and engaged by the key-levers, is arrested by stop-screws J<1> mounted in a bar J, a leaf-spring adjustable by a screw J<3> being arranged between the universal bar and the bar J. The universal bar is also connected to a spring H<2> which may be readily adjusted by means of a thumb-screw H<5> engaging a bell-crank lever H<3> which is secured to the spring. The touch and the stroke may be adjusted by means of the screws J<1>, J<3>, H<3>, the screws J' being preferably set so that the typelever is arrested a slight distance from the platen and effects impression by the forward movement permitted by the elasticity of the parts. The key-levers are weakened as by slots F<1> at the part which engages the universal bar, so that during assembling the parts may be easily bent by a tool to adjust the key-levers to the universal bar.

Instead of having two separate mouths, a single mouth provided with superposed closing - pieces may be used.
