Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 16,535. Werth, F. July 15. Roller-conveyer apparatus; cells; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating. -Wires, strips, or plain or figured rods, sheets, or the like, are passed between adjustable anodes h, Figs. 1 and 3, corrugated so as to form channels which may be completely separated, and slightly inclined to the horizontal, so that the material to be plated or cleaned is not bent to any considerable degree. The anodes are perforated and are faced with porous non-conducting material or otherwise insulated; they may be of soluble or insoluble material, for instance copper coated with lead. The channels may be round or oblong in section. Single anodes may be used, and may be shaped to form channels narrowing towards their open tops. The wires or the like may alternatively be arranged in a vertical series between corrugated anodes hinged together at their lower edges. Plates may be placed between slightly corrugated anodes, either the plates or the anodes being reciprocated through half the width of a corrugation. Alternatively, or in addition, the anodes may be reciprocated at right-angles to the cathode surface. Porous material may be placed over the cathode plate instead of the anodes. As shown, the lower anodes are supported on perforated plates, which rest at their upper ends on vertically-adjustable shelves g. Other perforated plates, made in parts separately removable, cover the upper anodes. The wires or strips pass over conducting-rollers i of bronze and under other rollers j<1>, d, of which the middle one d and optionally the outer one j<1> are adjustable vertically. Electrolyte may be projected along the anode channels from nozzles p, or may flow from lateral extensions o of the tank to a central pit t; the middle roller d, not being immersed, may then serve as conductor. Alternatively, the electrolyte may be kept in motion by blowing in air.

Abstract: 26,580. Strong, W. L. Nov. 19. Leaf-turners.-In a leaf-turner of the kind having radial arms projecting from concentric cylinders having pinions at their lower ends rotated by racks, the racks 14, 15, Fig. 2, are formed on a bar of the shape shown so that one rack 15 is below the rack 14. When the bar is moved to the left, the rack 15 engages the pinion 8 on one of the tubes 9, further movement of the bar causing the rack 14 to engage the next pinion 10. A rack 6 engaging a pinion 5 fixed to the centre rod 4 is used for returning the arms 27, 29 to their initial positions, the clamp 26 on the arm 25 pressing against the arms 27, 29. The bar carrying the racks 14, 15 is operated by a fixed handle 21, Fig. 1, projecting through a slot in the front of the device. When the rack 15 has been moved to its full extent, a handle 20 pivoted to the handle 21 engages against a stop 22. The rackbar is moved further by first lifting the handle 20 so that it slides above the stop 22.

Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 5124. Deutsche Gasgl³hlicht Akt.-Ges. (Auerges). June 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Valves controlled from a distance. - A device for actuating gas-cocks from a distance, either by variations in the pressure of the gas or of the air supply, is arranged so that a temporary increase of pressure disconnects the valve or one of the valves from the actuating-means. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the valves 7, 8 supplying two burners are opened against the action of springs by arms 11, 11<a> on a rod 5 when the latch is depressed by the normal gas pressure acting on the diaphragm 4 against the load of a spring 6. A temporary increase of pressure above the normal further distends the diaphragm against the action of springs 6, 15 and allows the arm 11<a> to slip past the lever 12, and permit the spring 14 to close the valve 8. The upper part of the spindle is grooved to form a piston valve controlling the pilot light. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the diaphragm is actuated by air pressure admitted beneath the diaphragm. The lever 12 is adapted to engage the spindle 23 of a spring-loaded lift valve 24 controlling the air supply to the burner controlled by the valve 8, so that both air and gas supplies are shut off simultaneously. Modifications of both these forms are described in which the diaphragm acts through a cam and ratchet gear in order that all the valves may be opened and closed by pressure waves.

Abstract: 5794. Proux, E. E. O. March 9, 1912, [Convention date]. Vane governors; differential governors; dynamometric governors.-The invention relates to governors of the type comprising a longitudinally-moving nut 7 acting through a linkage 14, 15 to operate a controlling-valve or the like 17, a longitudinally-fixed screw member 2 rotated by the engine to be governed and engaging the nut, and vanes 8 for retarding the rotation of the nuts at a predetermined speed and consequently rotating it relative to the screw and operating the controlling-valve. According to the invention, the vanes are rigidly secured to the nut and rotate in air, and the adjustable spring 9 used to assist the return of the nut to its normal position is provided with a ball bearing 12 so that the spring is never subjected to any torsional stress. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the vanes may be replaced by two or more curved arms dipping into a liquid, for instance mercury, contained in a horizontal circular vessel provided with internal baffles. Also, the device is described as applied to a dynamometric governor in which a power-transmitting pulley, mounted upon the nut 7, is driven by a screwed driving-shaft. When the load upon the pulley is excessive, it rotates relatively to the screwed shaft, against the action of a spring, and operates the throttle in the manner described. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
