Overlap joints without longitudinal pressure; bayonet joints.-A device for fastening bayonet or screw-joints consists of a metal band made in two parts hinged together, which completely or partially encircle the joint so as to engage projections or recesses on both members, and are secured together in this position. In a form suitable for bayonet-joints, shown in Fig. 2, the band has an internal groove engaging the bayonet-pins b, and projections a<2> on the socket and its free ends are secured together by a split conical-ended stud d; a key for removing the stud is shown in dotted lines. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the free ends are locked by fixed and rotary studs f<2>, f<1> having gaps f<3> in their sides. The rotary stud f' may be secured in the locked position by a screw f<4>. In another form, a T-shaped bolt mounted in one free end of the band enters a recess in the other free end by a T-shaped slot and is rotated to lock the band. The free ends may also be fastened by a rivet. In a modification, the projections a<2> on the socket are dispensed with and the band is provided with projections lying in the groove, which enter the bayonet slots and imprison the bayonet-pins therein. When the end does not completely encircle the joint, the two parts have at the hinge radial extensions which may be secured together, and the groove is closed at the free ends. According to the Provisional Specification, the two parts of the band may be secured together by a spring bolt adapted to be released by a magnet.

Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 20,777. Hõusser, F. Sept. 6. Drawings to Specification. Nitrogen oxides.-An increased yield of nitrogen oxides by the explosion of gas mixtures containing nitrogen and oxygen is obtained if the explosion temperature of the gases is maintained constant beyond the time required to reach the condition of " thermic equilibrium concentration." The maintenance of the temperature is effected by using explosion vessels of large capacity, or by constructing the bomb or the lining thereof of a bad conductor of heat, or by the compression of the fresh mixture before explosion, or by heating the bomb. It is also advantageous to use a gas mixture such that the products of combustion do not condense.

Title: Method of Producing Nitrogen Compounds.

IPC: C01C3/00

Granted: 1911-12-01
Abstract: 22,745. Heys, W. G., [Nitrogen Co.]. Oct. 1. Cyanamides, cyanides, and alloys, obtaining; fused electrolytes, apparatus for.-In the manufacture of alkali cyanamides and cyanides use is made of a reactive metal, that is, one which has greater affinity for carbon and nitrogen than has the alkali metal, but the cyanamide and cyanide of which are decomposed by the alkali metal under the conditions of the reaction. Such metals are barium, lithium, calcium, and strontium. An alloy of reactive metal such as barium with sodium and a heavy metal such as lead is produced by electrolysis of fused salts of the reactive and alkali metals in a chamber 4 having anodes 8 and a cathode of molten lead &c. The alloy is pumped into a second electrolytic chamber 5 wherein it becomes the anode. The cathode 13 is hollow and allows of admitting carbonaceous and nitrogenous gases into the fused electrolyte of sodium cyanide containing a quantity of barium cyanide. Carbonaceous matter is also admitted through a hopper 22, and carbonaceous and nitrogenous gases may also be admitted through the pipe 21. The barium liberated on the surface of the cathode combines with carbon and nitrogen to form cyanide, which is immediately decomposed by the sodium with liberation of free barium and production of sodium cyanide &c. The free barium again reacts with carbon and nitrogen, and so on. Barium cyanide may be initially added to the sodium cyanide electrolyte, if desired, and when sufficient barium is present to enable the reaction to be established, its further supply by electrolysis in the cell 4 may be discontinued. Other metals such' as manganese, chromium, titanium, vanadium, &c. win also bring about the synthesis of alkali cyanide, although the mechanism of the reaction is not always the same. The reactive metal and alkali metal may be also used unalloyed with heavy metal.
