Patent GB-191019335-A (GB)
Title: Method of Handling and Storing Inflammable Liquids.
Inventor: LANGE HERMANN
IPC: B67D7/32
Filed: 1910-08-17
Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 19,335. Lange, H., and Ruppel, C. Aug. 17. Direct liquid - pressure apparatus. - In a system of storing inflammable liquid in which a heavier indifferent liquid, such as water, is used for forcing out the inflammable liquid, the indifferent liquid e, Fig. 2, passes through an auxiliary receptacle b completely filled therewith ; this communicates with the storage receptacle a, containing inflammable liquid f above the liquid e, the hydrostatic pressures in the two receptacles always equalizing each other, and no valves, cocks, &c. being employed. In a modification, Fig. 3, the indifferent liquid is supplied to the receptacle b through a pipe g open at the top, and any inflammable liquid overflowing into the receptacle b is forced out through a pipe d, after the pipe c, through which the inflammable liquid is filled in and discharged, has been closed. In a further modification, the receptacle b communicates with a third receptacle for indifferent liquid, so that, when the tank a is being charged with inflammable liquid, the influx thereof automatically ceases when an equal pressure has been reached in all three receptacles. The receptacle b may be replaced by a pipe passing through the top and extending to the bottom of the storage receptacle a.

Abstract: 20,108. Price, F. J. Aug. 29. Tickets, issuing.-Apparatus for stiff tickets or tokens is operated by an attendant at the entrance of a place of entertainment or by the insertion of a coin. The tickets &c. are supported on a plate 3, which is raised between members 4 of the container by a coiled spring 8 on a shaft 11. Cords 9 attached to a frame 5 on the plate 3 are wound round helically-grooved drums 10 on the shaft 11, guide-wheels 6, on the frame 5, working on side pillars. When the apparatus is being re-filled, the plate 3 is held in the lowest position by the engagement of a slot 55 with the projection 56. The upper lip of the delivery aperture is formed by plates 14, 17, fixed to the framework, and the lower lip by projections 20 on a plate 18, which is adjustably secured to the ticket container by screws s and slots 19, so that the apparatus may be set to deliver one or more tickets &c. at each operation. The topmost card is pushed off the pile by pins 12 adjustably secured to disks 13 driven through a train 21 from a spring barrel 22, after an arm 28 on a spindle 29, Fig. 3, has been tripped by the insertion of a coin 4 by an attendant from the exterior of the machine, so as to permit a detent 32 on a spindle 34 of the train to escape through a cut-away portion of the spindle 29. The points of the pins are preferably formed slightly convex and polished.

Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 20,491. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Sept. 2. Dynamos and motors, cooling and ventilating. -Relates to means for cooling a machine by passing a liquid through the rotor hub, as described in Specification 22,789/09, and consists in forming a passage in the hub of such form as to give a suction action for withdrawing the liquid, with or without concurrent use of an air current to assist the cooling. The liquid is introduced by a pipe f<1>, Fig. 1, into a passage d in the hub b', the passage being traversed by ribs e and having a greater diameter at the outlet end than at the inlet end. The discharge is effected by a bell-shaped piece g having ribs g<1> forming nozzles, the suctional action of which aids the flow of the water to the stationary discharge casing h, which terminates in a tail-pipe h'. Leakage at the inlet end is prevented by a flared baffle b, rotating with the armature, and a fixed annulus f<2> mounted in the hub opening. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, in addition to watercooling by a conical passage d having inlets f<1> and suctional outlets g<1>, as described above, an air passage d<1> is provided, through which air enters from either end, as shown by the arrows.. It passes outwards through passages e<1> in the ribs e to grooves b<x> on the hub surface and leaves the armature through the ventilating- ducts a<x>. Air passages are also formed under the commutator bed, as shown.

Abstract: 10,854. Kerr, D. S. May 7. Adding and subtracting apparatus.- In datereckoning apparatus means are provided for showing the date and the numbered days with day names for a year ahead. A casing with a removable top has five series of slots, each series consisting of three slots. At each left-hand slot is exhibited on fixed plates 18 the number of the day in the year backwards and forwards, at the middle slot is exhibited the month and the day on a movable endless strip 20, and at the righthand slot is exhibited the day name on a septagonal prism 35. The date always appears at the top of the left-hand column. The strips 20 have 146 days inserted on them and are carried on frames 21, threaded on spindles 45, 47, of which the upper spindle is squared to drive sprocket-wheels 29 engaging the notched edges of the strip 21, and bevel-wheels 39 for setting the septagonal prisms by means of double bevel-gears 38. The prisms are carried in brackets 42, 43 attached to the supporter 21, so that the prism and month day-strip carrying- parts form units which can be moved bodily. A knurled head 47 on the spindle is used for setting the calendar each day. At the end of 73 days, the left-hand unit is removed and placed in the right-hand place, the others being moved to the left. In the case of leap years, the prisms are replaced when necessary by day-strips 49 operated similarly to the month strips, and the sections including February have special day-strips comprising a core 52 surrounded by loose strips 55 lettered for the days, the core and strips being suitably notched for engagement with a sprocket-wheel. The assembling- spindles 45, 47 are prevented from being withdrawn by a slotted strip 59, which cannot be raised to permit withdrawal unless the top of the casing is opened.

IPC: H05B31/18
Filed: 1912-07-08
Granted: 1913-07-08
Abstract: 15,927. Herwig, M. A. July 8. Arc lamps; electrodes.-A carbon electrode is provided with a short rigid metallic stem, partly projecting from the end of the electrode and parallel with its axis, for insertion into a holder, good electric connexion with which is thus ensured. The stem a, Fig. 1, may be secured by metallic or other cement, paste, or core material in a core hole or other recess in the electrode, and may be perforated or shaped as shown in Fig. 3, or otherwise, so as to obtain a firm hold in the cement or the like. Correct placing of the stem may be facilitated by heating the end of the electrode so as to keep the cement soft while the stem, secured in a sleeve g, Fig. 9, which fits over the electrode, is inserted. The sleeve may have cooling-ribs. A non-conducting cement, or, in a flame arc electrode, pure carbon paste, may be arranged so as to cause interruption of the arc when the electrode is burnt out. The stem may be screw-threaded or split, or, if of channel form, may terminate in a spring tongue, as shown in Fig. 6, so as to be held mechanically in the electrode with or without the use of cement or the like. When the electrode contains a metallic conductor e, this is brought into contact with the stem or secured to it by metallic cement, by soldering, or otherwise. Alternatively, the conductor c may have a long projecting end which is coiled, bent backwards and forwards, or otherwise treated so as to form the stem, which may be strengthened by soldering ; such a projecting piece may previously serve for drawing into the electrodes an undulating or tortuous part of the conductor. The holder may comprise co-axial parts o, m, Fig. 11, between which the semi-tubular stem is inserted ; the inner part may be replaced by a spring tongue or the like.
