Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 22,778. Soc. Anon. Italiana G. Ansaldo, Armstrong, & Co. Oct. 17, 1910, [Convention date]. Case-hardening.-In a process for case-hardening articles or iron, steel, or steel alloys, a current of air is circulated under determined conditions of temperature and speed of flow through the mass of granular carbon in which the articles are embedded. The speed of the air current required to effect a particular concentration of carbon for a given iron or steel under given conditions of temperature and time is determined by trial. In one method the articles to be case-hardened and granular wood charcoal are placed in alternate layers in a fixed or movable container provided with tubes for the admission of air. The container is heated to 900-1,150‹ C. while air is circulated through it. The container may be rotated during the operation. Gaseous or liquid hydrocarbons may also be introduced. In some cases a portion of the carbon may be removed, and the heating and circulation of air continued. The same charcoal may be used several times over. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the gases which issue from the container may be collected for use with a fresh charge, instead of air; or the air before being used in the process may be passed over charcoal heated to 1,000-1,100‹ C. It describes also the regulation of the degree of concentration of the carbon in the case-hardened zone by adjusting the speed of the air current. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 11,495. Tarrisse, M. Sept. 2, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 11,494/12.] Automatic speed or power control; governors, applications of; controlling different functions by same handle or lever.-In disk and roller frictional variable-speed and reversing gearing of the kind described in the parent Specification, the speed-governor effects the variation of position of the friction roller on its shaft through the medium of a single sliding guide and supporting - frame. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the disk 1 drives a roller 12 slidably keyed on a shaft 11 having a pivotal coupling at one end 28 and transmitting the drive through a chain or cardan shaft to the rear axle of a motor-car. The free end of the shaft 11 is mounted in a ball-and-socket supporting-member 26 arranged between camsurfaces 25 on a slidable member 23 connected by means of a link and lever 33 tb the sleeve of the centrifugal governor 3 on the engine shaft 2. The member 26 is vertically slidable in a frame 29, which is carried upon slideways 29<1> and is normally acted upon bv a spring 9 to press the roller into engagement with the disk. When the end of the shaft 11 is raised or lowered by movement of the cam frame 23 under the influence of the governor, the roller is caused automatically to travel along the shaft to vary the speed ratio as described in the parent Specification. Positive actuation of the roller 12 may be effected by means of a lever 39 acting through a link 37 and a bell-crank lever 38. To effect a progressive increase in grip as the roller 12 travels towards the centre of the disk 1, the spring 9 may be connected to a lever 30 acted upon by a wedge-expanding device 35, 31, the member 35 being connected by a link 36 to the bell-crank 38 which moves with the roller 12. The supporting-member 29 may be moved against the spring 9, to effect disengagement of the roller 12, by means of a link 21 connected, with lost motion, to a crank 20 upon a shaft 19 provided with a pedal 18 for foot actuation. Conjointly with release of the roller 12, actuation of the pedal shaft 19 reduces the supply of fuel to the motor by means of a rod 55 and also moves the governor lever 33 by means of a rod 51 having an adjustable stop 53, which provides an amount of lost motion necessary to allow normal automatic actuation. In a modification, the driving and driven shafts are parallel and carry slidable rollers connected by an intermediate disk, variation of speed ratio being brought about by automatic transverse displacement of the intermediate disk under the influence of the governor
