Abstract: 9537. Sereville, L. L. de. Feb. 29, [Convention date]. Net-making machines.-Relates to machinery for making square-meshed net. Warps are drawn off a roller, a series of loops is made in them by the knot-forming instruments operated from a single cam shaft, and a horizontal weft is then drawn through the loops by means of a needle around the hooked end of which the weft is twisted. After each traverse of the needle the weft is cut off automatically by a knife. The warps 1 pass through a bar 62 and at the commencement of a row of loops are engaged by twisted hooks 24 which are then depressed so that each hook passes between the blades 32, 33 of a set of knot-forming instruments 31. The hooks 24 are then moved to the position 24<11>, Fig. 8, and in so doing loop the warps ready to receive the weft. The hooks 24 and sinkers 38 then rise to the position shown in Fig. 9 and the weft is passed through and lies below the nebs 35<1> of the sinkers and above the hollow 35 of the instruments 31. The sinkers are then depressed, one by one, by a slur-cock to draw off the amount of weft required, and the loops are finally disengaged from the loop formers and tightened into knots.

Title: New or Improved Process of Burning Solid Fuel.
Inventor: GLASGOW ARTHUR GRAHAM
IPC: C10J3/00
Filed: 1913-07-23
Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 16,911. Glasgow, A. G. July 23. Producers.-The formation of clinkers in the fuel bed of a gas-generator is prevented by maintaining zones of relatively high and low temperature, by changing the direction of the blast and apportioning it between them, by feeding sufficient unburned fuel through the high-temperature zone to prevent the agglomeration of the partly melted ash into clinker; and by feeding this fuel with the ash to the cooler zone, where it is burnt at a temperature insufficient to clinker the ash. Fig. 2 shows one form of gas-producer working on this principle, and Fig. 3 a form having an underfeed. In each case the zones 9, 10 are of relatively high and low temperatures, the high-temperature zone being between the low-temperature zone and the end of the fuel bed to which fuel is fed. Air or steam, or both, may be admitted below the grate by connexions 12, 13 and above by connexions 11, 14 and, in the form shown in Fig. 2, through the off takes 6, 7 by connexions 17, 18, 15, 16. In working, the valve 4 is opened and the valve 5 closed. About 20 per cent of the total air supplied is then admitted below the grate by the connexion 12, the products leaving through the offtake 3. In the next stage, the valves 12, 4 are closed and valve 5 opened, the remaining 80 per cent of air being then admitted through the connexion 11, and passing downwards to the offtake. The air supply is then shut off, and about 40 per cent of the total steam is supplied at 14. The valves at 14 and 15 are then closed and the valves 4, 13 opened, the remaining 60 per cent of steam passing upwards. The cycle of operations is then repeated. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the air and steam are preferably admitted to the axis of the fuel bed by means of the pipes 6, 7, the other connexion being used when it is desired to make the fire more active at the circumference.

Abstract: 21,366. Soc. Generate des Nitrures. Dec. 16, 1912, [Convention date]. [Addition to 11,091/13.] Aluminium and other nitrides. - In the production of aluminium and other nitrides according to the parent Specification, a part or the whole of the excess carbon employed to maintain the heating-current is substituted by other good electric conductors, for example metals. It is advantageous to select such of these substances as actify the formation of nitride. The use of iron or certain of its alloys presents the advantage that they are readily separated from the nitride by magnetic methods. Further, as iron oxide is present in certain ores of aluminium, it is convenient to employ these and add an amount of iron sufficient to make up the desired quantity.

Abstract: 22,228. Sanchez, A., and Baradat, C. Oct. 2. Magneto-electric machines. - In a generator for automobiles in which current is taken from a rotary armature for illumination and for exciting the low-tension winding of a stationary ignition transformer, the armature is mounted between the upwardly - pointing. poles of the magnets, the arch of which contains the driving- shaft, so that the armature may be mounted on a separate shaft having a higher speed than that of the driving-shaft. The machine is used in combination with a device for closing the battery - charging circuit at a limiting speed. With the circuits arranged as in Fig. 1, the armature a supplies current to the low-tension winding g of the transformer through an interrupter h. At a limiting speed, the centrifugallyoperated switch l closes a circuit at l<1>, l<2> to the lamps n and battery m. By placing the switch d<1> at d<2>, the ignition current may be taken from the battery. The armature a, Fig. 2, is gear-driven from a shaft i which is mounted in the arch of the magnets and carries the cam i<1> of the ignition interrupter h. It also drives the distributer j<2> through a gear j<3>. The wheel i<4> is recessed to receive the driving-member, and, together with the gears i<3>, a<3>, is enclosed by a cover r having a cylindrical packing r<1> which enables a lubricant to be used in the gear box. The transformer g, g<1> and condenser k are mounted between the armature and the shaft i. The centrifugally-operated switch consists of two coned disks o<2>, o<3>, the former of which is fixed on the armature shaft a<1>, while the latter can move axially under the action of balls o<5> and bears on a fixed piece a<4> sliding in a slot in the shaft against the action of a spring a<7>. Bearing on the piece a<4> is a rod o<1>, which passes freely through the shaft and holds the springy switch arm open until the speed of the machine is sufficient to cause the disk o<3> and member a<4> to move inwards.

Abstract: 26,385. Ringbom, O. A., and Willebrand, G. von. Nov. 17. Track apparatus actuating signals other than on trains.-Track signals, crossing-gates, or like safety-devices are actuated by trains passing over a contact 6 depressible by the wheels or flexure of the rails, the contact acting through a silent ratchet 15, 16 to rotate the armature of a generator. The current produced energizes an electro-magnet 17 which withdraws its armature 40 from a notch 39 in a plunger 20 in a cylinder 19. A disk on the plunger is connected by ropes or the like 21 to a crossing-gate 1, which then falls by its own weight together with the connected gate 2, to close the crossing. The gates have hinges whereby they may be swung outwards, springs being provided to return them. For reopening the crossing after the train has passed, a spring contact 29 is provided which is connected to a piston in a pump cylinder 18 having pressure and suction valves 24, 23. The pressure valve 24 is connected by a pipe 25 to the upper end of the cylinder 19 so that when the train depresses the contact 29 air is forced into the cylinder 19 to depress the plunger. A valve 32 carrying a spring is closed by the plunger when at the top of its stroke, and is opened at the bottom of the stroke to release the presure by the depression of a rod 36, which passes through a disk on the plunger and carries a knob 38 which is pulled down by the plunger at the bottom of the stroke, when the armature 40 enters the notch 39 to retain the plunger.
