Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 13,452. Thomson, J. M. June 6. [Cognate Application, 20,206/11.] Overwinding, preventing.- In order to prevent overwinding, the winding-engine is fitted with appliances which cut off steam and apply the brake lightly if this has not already been done when the cage reaches the danger zone, and which cut off steam and apply the brake fully if the cage passes the level. Fig. 4 shows the latter appliance, and Fig. 6 the former. A shaft c, Fig. 4, geared to the engine shaft so as to make one revolution during a complete wind carries an arm c' which at the end of the wind, engages a detent and releases a spring-actuated part situated beneath the knuckle - jointed rod g. The knuckle of the rod g is bent and releases the bell-crank levers k, l, which normally hold up the weighted lever h. This lever in falling closes the throttle valve j and opens the valve w to apply the brake fully. The trip-gear is reset by a hand-lever n held by a catch q, and having a pin-and-slot connexion with the rod g. The control mechanism, shown in Fig. 6, which is adapted to come into operation when the cage reaches the danger zone, comprises a rotary shaft s carrying an arm s<1> which at the required time engages tappets on a rock-shaft t carrying a detent t<5>. A sliding frame u<3> is normally held up by this detent and, when released, falls and operates the throttle lever u<1> and admits steam to apply the brake lightly by the arm u<5>. If the engineman operates the throttle valve at the correct time, the tappets are disconnected from the rock-shaft t, and are therefore ineffective.

Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 1003. Ashcroft, E. A. Jan. 12. Electrolytic furnaces.-In the manufacture of alkali metals and reaction products thereof, the areas of the cathode and anode surfaces exposed to the fused electrolyte are respectively about 10 and 150 square millimetres per ampere, and the distance between the electrodes is from 5 to 20 millimetres. The anode may consist of solid insoluble material or of a molten alloy of the alkali metal. In one form of apparatus, the cathode comprises parallel copper, nickel, or other rods 5, Fig. 1, the rounded or flat ends of which dip into a thin layer of electrolyte, flowing over a molten alloy anode 3 and a weir 9 into a chamber 8. The metal or other product collects in this chamber and may be drawn off through a pipe 11 or bv ladles. The electrolyte is returned to the cell by the pump or worm 10, preferably so as to cause rotation in the cell. The weir may be placed centrally as shown or at one end of a rectangular cell. In a modification, the chamber 8 is wholly outside the cell; it may be cooled to diminish the solubility of the product in the electrolyte. In another form of apparatus, the cathode 18, Fig. 4, is deeply immersed in the electrolyte and may consist of strips or wires. The cathode conductors are surrounded by tubes 16, down which a gas is passed to keep the electrolyte away from the conductors and so restrict the cathode area. The product is collected by a funnel 15. Reagents such as steam, dicyan-diamide, trimethylamine, hydrocyanic acid, ammonia, or ammonia with carbon or benzene, may be fed either into the cell or into the chamber 8 in which the metal separates; in the latter case, the hydrogen or other gas formed may be led into the cell to maintain an inert atmosphere or to react further with the metal. Cyanides, cyanamides, amides, or hydrates may be produced. The electrolyte may be a cyanide, amide, or hydrate. The alloy used as anode may be obtained electrolytically. Specifications 1001/12, 1002/12 and 1004/12 [Class 41, Electrolysis], and 1005/12, are referred to.
