Abstract: 21,941. H÷ltring, W. Jan. 18, [Convention date]. Aerial machines with aerostats; a e r o s t a t s ; military apparatus. - To counteract the disturbing effect on the stability of an air-ship when bombs in various positions are dropped therefrom, auxiliary gas-bags carried in or on the main aerostat are arranged so that a separate gas-bag corresponding to each bomb can be deflated when the bomb is dropped. In the case of a rigid air-ship, Fig. 1, a chamber within the body of the air-ship, open to the atmosphere at the top, is divided by network partitions c into compartments to receive the auxiliary gasbags d. In the case of a non-rigid air-ship, Figs. 3 and 4, the bags d are placed upon the top of the main aerostat, and may be filled through tubes g either from the usual gas supply before the air-ship rises or afterwards from .the main aerostat. The ends of the ripping-cords f of the bags dare arranged in proximity to the corresponding bombs.

Abstract: 23,917. Railing, M. J., Strachan, J., and Hoadley, E. E. Oct. 19. Electro-magnetic interrupters of the automatic current - limiter type are constructed with a comparatively light iron armature g pivoted between a stationary pole-piece b and an adjustable pole-piece d energized by a winding c mounted on a limb a, which together with the pole-piece b forms an L-shaped core, When a sufficient current flows, the armature swings about its pivot h away from a stop k on which it normally rests, and strikes a pivoted contact lever o, thus breaking the circuit at the contacts q, s. Carbon, metal, or mercury-cup contacts are used according to the strength of current. The contacts may be joined by a resistance so that the circuit is never completely broken. The parts return after the break, and the make and break is continually repeated as long as the limit is exceeded. The preliminary setting of the adjustable pole-piece d is shown on a scale of amperes m. A window in the casing of the instrument and an outside milled handle may be provided.
