Patent GB-190822209-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus and Appliances for Raising, Lowering, and Propelling Airships, Flying Machines, and the like.
Inventor: MARK WALTER
Filed: 1908-10-20
Granted: 1909-10-20
Abstract: 22,209. Mark, W. Oct. 20. Aerial machines with or without aerostats; propelling; parachutes.-An aerial machine is raised by one or more pairs of rotating frames, each frame carrying two or more wings or sheets which are mounted on rollers placed eccentrically to the axis of rotation of the frames, the wings being adapted to unwind and wind on the rollers as the frame rotates. Each frame comprises two hoops A mounted on spindles A' carried by a frame Q. The hoops are spaced apart by rods C to which are connected the outer ends of flexible sheets D, D', D'. The inner ends of the sheets are connected to spring rollers E, E<1>, E<2> mounted in disks F on a spindle G, which is carried by arms Q<1>. As the frames are rotated by the chains L, L<1> from the motor shaft I and a parallel shaft K geared therewith, the sheets are wound off and on the spring rollers E. The spindle G is rotated at the same speed as the frames by chain gear 0 from a pulley N on the shaft A<2> of the rotating frame. In place of spring rollers E, gear-wheels may be employed either for winding or unwinding the sheets on the rollers. Means may be provided for adjusting the frames at an angle to the axis of the machine so that the propelling-frames can drive the machine backwards or forwards, and supplementary propelling-frames may be provided for this purpose. An adjustable shield extends over about one-quarter of the periphery of the frame to direct the air tangentially in a position where the wings exercise the greatest effort. The shields may also be moved into a position above the frames to act as parachutes if the motor fails. The machine may be provided with an aerostat.

Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 13,086. Serpek, O. May 30. Metallic n itrides; silicon compounds; silica. -To produce aluminium nitride by the process wherein bauxite is heated with carbon and nitrogen, the powdered bauxite is fed in at the upper end k of a revolving tube a wherein it is calcined, and from which it falls into a hopper m in a chamber c, and receives an addition of powdered coke from a hopper p by an opening o. The bauxite and coke passes through. apertures q into a second revolving tube b, and is finally heated by an electric resistance furnace f, preferably of the kind described in Specification 12,601/10, [Class 39(iii), Heating by electricity], which is detachable from the tube b. Carbon monoxide and nitrogen from a generator j operating under pressure passes into the tube b, absorbs heat from the nitride which leaves the furnace f, carries off silicon compounds from the furnace f into the chamber c, where it meets air from an inlet c<1>, passes through baffles s to secure the deposition of the silica, and, after the addition of air through inlets c<2>, c<3>, c<4>, passes into the cylinder a where the combustible constituents burn. Fuel may be introduced with the air at the inlets c<2>, c<3>; and some of the carbon necessary may be mixed with the bauxite before it enters the tube a. Other metallic nitrides may be made in the same way.

Abstract: 23,046. Phillips, W. A., and Bulteel, J. G. Oct. 5. Ammonia; alkaline-earth cyanides.-In the manufacture of ammonia by fixing nitrogen as a cyanide and treating the cyanide with steam, a finely-divided base, such as baryta, or barium carbonate, is fed into a blast of air and combustible gas which is blown tangentially into an annular space at the top of a furnace. The furnace is packed with pieces of refractory material b, such as firebrick or magnesite resting on a perforated bottom and surmounted by a cylindrical block of refractory material c forming the annular space. The base derives carbon from the gas and nitrogen from the air, and is carried in the form of cyanide downwards through the material b and out by a pipe h, into which a steam jet i enters, the steam decomposing the cyanide and, if desired, assisting the action of the air-blast. The barium carbonate formed is separated from the ammonia solution which collects in a pipe k, and returned to the process. Specification 23,976/09 is referred to.

Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 24,310. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Oct. 20. Building - motions; winding-machines.-The ring rail of a spinning- machine or the guides of a winding - machine are operated through a system of levers and links by a cam 26, which is loosely mounted on a shaft 23, but is so connected as to move therewith as the shaft 23 is rocked by a cam 19, and to move relatively thereto so as to vary the length of the chase according to the requirements of the cop. A ratchet-wheel 29, which is loose on the shaft 23, carries a pinion 30, which gears with a wheel 27 carried by the cam 26 and a wheel 28 fast on the shaft 23. The ratchet-wheel 29 moves with the shaft 23 owing to the friction against the wheel 28 caused by the pressure of a spring 33, but, when moving in one direction, is arrested by a pawl 35, which is released by a guard 34<2> adjustably carried by the shaft 23, and so moves relatively to the shaft. By reason of the engagement of the pinion 30 with the wheel 27, the cam 26 moves with the shaft 23, but is moved relatively thereto during the arrest of the ratchet-wheel 29, as the wheel 27 has a different number of teeth from the wheel 28. The pinion 30 is moved out of gear with the wheel 27 to reset the cam 26.
