Title: Improvements in the Production of Hydrogen.
IPC: C01B3/06
Filed: 1909-09-14
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 21,032. Consortium fiir Elektrochemische Industrie Ges. Nov. 9, 1908, [Convention date]. Hydrogen is produced by the action of caustic alkali on silicon in the presence of lime, which increases the rapidity of the reaction. The alkali may be replaced by such mixtures as sodium carbonate or sulphate and lime, and the lime may be replaced, wholly or partly, by calcium compounds that form lime in the liquid with liberation of hydrogen, such as calcium hydride or silicide. In an example, an intimate mixture of silicon and calcium hydroxide is gradually introduced, with continual stirring, into an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide heated in an iron generator. Mention is made of the production of hydrogen by the action of an aqueous solution of sodium or calcium hydroxide alone upon silicon.

Title: Improvements in Head Seaming Mechanisms for Cans and other Receptacles.
Inventor: KRUMMEL LOUIS CHARLES
IPC: B21D51/32
Filed: 1909-10-20
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 24,108. Krummel, L. C. Nov. 12, 1908, [Convention date]. Seaming.-In apparatus for seaming the heads on cans &c., in which either the seaming-head or can is rotated, the seaming-head comprises an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve which carries the seaming- rolls, and a chuck, either non-rotary for holding down, or rotary for turning the can. The cans are mounted on a fixed smooth table, being fed either by hand or automatically to guides under the seaming-head. In the form having fixed work, the hollow bar 4, which is rotated by bevel-gear from the driving-shaft is screwed to the inner sleeve 5, which is slidably connected to the outer sleeve 8, by two or more spring bolts 11, 12 carried by the sleeve 8 and passing through buffers 15, 16 in the inner sleeve. A centre pad 49, carried by a non-rotating rod 50, is first moved down on to the can-head by a cam, driven from the main shaft by worm gear, and a lever, one end of which is connected to a nut on the upper screwed end of the rod, which may be first adjusted to position by a handle on the end of the rod. The rod is splined to a chuck 45, on which the outer sleeve is rotatable between ball bearings 48, but fixed as regards relative longitudinal motion. After the centre pad has pressed down the cover, the bar 4 is moved to press the chuck into position by means of levers and a rotary cam. The inner sleeve then moves in the outer sleeve, a cam 44 engaging the lever 19 so as to press the curling-roll 24 into contact with the work. When the shoulder on the cam passes the lever, the roll is disengaged by a spring 29, Fig. 4, which is mounted between a lug 28 on the sleeve 8 and nuts 30 on a sliding rod 27, connected by a pin to the lever 19. To prevent the inward motion of the roll when the sleeve 5 is returned, the rear end of the lever carries a pawl 39 pivoted at 40 and held in contact with a shoulder 43 on the lever by a spring 41. After the edges are curled, they are flattened by a roller 25 on the lever 22 operated by the cam 31, which is provided with a cushioning-pad 33 to relieve the strain when passing over side seams. In order to vary the motion of the lever, the part engaging the cam consists of a plate 34 adjusted on its pivot by a screw 36. The lever 22 is returned by a spring in the same way as the lever 19. In the return movement of the bar 4, after the heads of the bolts abut against the sleeve 5, the two sleeves are moved together, and the chuck is thus stripped from the can, the pad being then retracted. Any number of seaming-rolls may be used, and the sleeves may be separated by gravity instead of by springs.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Maintenance of the Equilibrium of Vessels or other Unstable Bodies by Gyroscopic Action.
Inventor: SCHERL RICHARD
IPC: G01C21/18
Filed: 1909-11-10
Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 27,687. Scherl, R. Nov. 10, [Convention date]. Gyroscopic apparatus.-In gyrocopic apparatus of the type described in n Specification 27,590/09, the additional forces acting on the gyroscope are made to act on the gyroscope casing, not directly, but through an elastic medium, such as a spring 12, which exerts a moment on the gyroscope. The rod 5 is acted upon by the servomotor and is connected to the pitman 7 and the lever arm 4 at the point 6. The traction spring 12 exerts a force on the point 6 in the direction of the arrow, and so exerts a moment on the gyroscope casing 2. This moment, when the lever lengths 3 and 4 are equal and the oscillations about the point 13 are small, varies approximately with the distance of the point 14 from the point 6. The point 6 is, however, under the action of the servomotor displaced backwards and forwards, whereby the moment exerted by the spring 12 is made dependent on the servomotor and so varies with the velocity of precession. Specification 21,843/08 is also referred to.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Stopping and Starting Trains Independently of Driver.
Inventor: ASMUS HEINRICH
IPC: B61L3/22
Filed: 1910-05-11
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 11,725. Asmus, H. May 11. Track apparatus for stopping trains. - Insulated track rails 31, 32 are electrically connected with the track rails 30 when the line is clear, and the track rail 31 is disconnected when the line is blocked. The engine apparatus comprises a switch 44 operated by a spring-motor and a magnetically-operated detent 42. If a train passes over a dead rail 31, a spring 40 removes the detent 42 and allows the motoroperated switch to rotate through half a revolution. As soon as the train passes on to the adjacent rail 32, the detent is positioned by the magnet and the motor-operated switch is retained. In the half-rotation the switch transfers the connexion of the power lead 33 from the train motor lead 46 to the train brake lead 47. The rails 31, 32 are connected to rails 30 by rotary switches 1, 11. They are geared together so that the switch 11 makes one and a half revolutions when the switch 1 makes one. When the line is blocked, the switches are positioned as shown, and the rail 31 is isolated. When the signal is moved to safety, the switches are given one and one-and-a-half revolutions respectively. The position of the switch 1 is then the same as before, but the switch 11 has moved to bring the conducting sectors 16, 18 into contact with plates 17, 19, and the rails 31, 32 are connected If a train, after receiving a danger signal in passing the rail 31, comes to rest upon rail 32, when the signal is put to safety, the momentary cessation of the current causes the train switch 44 to rotate through half a revolution to bring the train motor into circuit again.
