Abstract: 26,371. Helfenstein, A. Nov. 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Carbon tetrachloride may be made, and other gaseous reactions carried out, in an electric furnace for low electric pressures, in which a gas or mixture to undergo reaction is blown through a bath of non-metallic material or through a mass of granular material with which the bath preferably is covered, the non-gaseous materials either acting as catalysers, or entering into the reaction, or reacting among themselves to form secondary products. The furnace shown has one pendent tubular electrode 3 surrounded by granular material 4. This electrode dips in molten material 7, and gas is supplied through it by a pipe 1. Escaping gaseous products pass through a bank of granular material which surrounds the hearth and through flues 10 to chambers into which a " condensing " material is blown. Carbon tetrachloride is made by blowing chlorine through granular carbon in the presence of sulphur vapour acting as a carrier, above a bath of slag, the sulphur ultimately combining with the slag or escaping as vapour.

Abstract: 27,054. Banks, J. H., Banks, G. H., and Banks, R. V., [trading as Banks & Sons, J.]. Nov. 25. Variable - speed toothed gearing; clutches, claw.-In change-speed gearing, applicable to motor-vehicles &c., the declutching and clutching necessary in changing from one speed to another are effected automatically, the operator simply freeing mechanisms which perform such clutching and declutching. Gear-wheels C, D are rotatably mounted on the driving-shaft B. Between them are slidable but non-rotatable collars G, G' pressed apart by springs g. Gears C', D' fixed on a countershaft E are constantly in engagement with the wheels C, D respectively. Fitted within the shaft B are keys b<1>, b<1>, which are pressed outwards by springs d, d<1>. The ends g' of the collars normally prevent the keys from moving out into recesses in the gearwheels C, D. The collars may be slid away from the gear-wheels, so allowing the keys to engage the wheels, by forks N. When the collar is released, a notch g<2>, Fig. 5, in the end g' of the collar moves over the key as this comes into register with it and withdraws the key from engagement. Immediately behind the end g<3> is a ring g<4> supported, through the medium of a ball bearing, by a ring g<6> which is itself supported by a plug g<1>, screwed in the collar and carrying the spring g. The rings g<4> partly overlap the lateral lugs b<2> on the keys b and so prevent the key from springing out into the notch g<2> while the collar G is released. The sleeve c of the wheel C is carried out beyond the end of the gear box and may have thereon means for transmitting the drive as desired The collars G, G<1> are slidable in a shell H carried by the casing. Ears g<7> project from the collars through slots in the shell, and are engaged by horseshoe members N partly encircling the shell. The ends n of the members N are slotted and are traversed by a sliding rod K which carries pins k engaging the slots in the ends n. The invention may be applied to gearings for giving three or more speeds and a reverse, the operating-mechanism being suitably modified.

Granted: 1914-04-16
Abstract: 8436. Vyle, G. C., [Smith, W. S.]. Oct. 10. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to an automatic weighing - machine of the even - armed weigh-beam type wherein an overweight is first run into the weigh hopper, the surplus being afterwards discharged through a port at the side, and the invention comprises the use of a sliding valve for controlling the port. An excess of material is run into the weigh-hopper 11 and the feed is cut-off in known manner bv the displacement of a trip 23 from beneath a dropbar 20 connected to the feed-gate. At this time, an aperture 24 in the side of the hopper registers with a port 26 in a slide valve 25 which is resiliently supported on a fixed guide 33 and is attached by a slot and pin 31 to a controlling- lever 29 pivoted on the weigh-hopper. As the weigh-hopper rises due to loss of material, the port opening 24 decreases, and the lever 29 turns about its pivot, thus lowering a slide bar 35 on to the upstanding arm of a three-armed trip lever 41 pivoted on the weigh - hopper. The weigh-hopper continues to rise, carrying with it the slide valve 25, until a stop 45 trips the lever 41 and the slide valve 25 falls and cuts 'off the stream of material. The lever 29 strikes a trip lever 51 and opens the discharge gate 46 of the receptacle. The discharge gate is returned by a counterweight, and in swinging back causes a pawl on the trip lever 51 to strike a lever 21 and reopen the feed-gate to repeat the cycle of operations. The material discharged through the port 26 is returned by an elevator or conveyer to the supply hopper.
