Title: Improvements in Telegraphy and Telephony by Means of Hertzian Waves.
Inventor: CHAMBERS FREDERICK JOHN
IPC: H03C5/00
Filed: 1909-02-01
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 2330. Chambers, F. J. Feb. 1. Spark-gap apparatus.-A manometric flame, the length of which varies in accordance with sound vibrations, is used in wireless telegraphy and telephony to determine the length of the spark-gap, or to select the electrodes between which the spark passes. The substantially horizontal flame h, Fig. 2, may be projected between the converging electrodes g. As the flame shortens, the spark follows the tip of the flame and therefore lengthens, and vice versa. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the flame determines by its length the electrode i from which the spark shall pass and hence the inductance in the circuit.

Granted: 1909-08-12
Abstract: 6058. Parry, A. March 13. Tea, rolling.-A casing and a shovel agitating - device are operated so as to rock the tea laterally and move it longitudinally of the casing. In one form of the apparatus, the casing a is oscillated and longitudinally reciprocated upon a shaft c which carries the agitator b. The casing is attached to sleeves f, one of which slides in, but is rotated by, a bevel-wheel i which engages with a wheel j oscillated from a crank-pin m<2> through links and levers o, n, p, pl and a pin j<1>. The lever n also reciprocates the sleeve f. The agitator b may be corrugated &c., and may have curved ends like a plough-share. The agitator and the casing may be adjustable transversely of the shaft c, and the casing also may be provided with ribs &c. The casing may be perforated so that a current of air is induced by the movement of the machine, or a fan may be used. The tea is fed in through a hopper d. For discharge, the wheel is moved back out of gear with the wheel i, and the casing is inverted. In modifications, (1) the casing is oscillated, and longitudinal movement of the tea is caused by the formation of the agitator, and (2) the agitator also may be oscillated or reciprocated, or both.

Abstract: 18,883. Rinker, H. S. Aug. 17. Pulp, recovering.-To prevent the loss of pulp, clay, size, and alum during the manufacture of paper, the same water is used repeatedly in a closed circuit. The pulp is prepared in the beater A, and flows through the pipe B to a small tank C having a screen D, and through a pipe E to the box F, which delivers it to the apron G. Any overflow from the tank C passes through the drain-pipe L to the drain N, and through the pipe 0 to the well P, from which it is raised to the tank T by the centrifugal pump Q. The water from the tank T passes through the pipe V to the tank W to be delivered to the tank C. The tank W is also provided with an overflow pipe Y which delivers the water to the drain N. Water may overflow from the tank T through a screen Z into a reservoir A'. If the water rises above the dam B', it is run to waste through a pipe C<1>. Steam-jets, in a series oi small pipes connected to the steam-pipe D', serve to remove any material which adheres to the screen Z. The apron G is cleaned by a spray of water from a pipe G', and the drain N by small streams of water from a pipe H'.

Abstract: 28,947. Murray, E. T. R. Dec. 10. Gravity engines.-Various instruments are described for intermittently inserting a resistance in series with an electric lighting or other circuit. In that shown in Fig. IX, the wire 4 is normally in parallel with an electric heating- wire 36 of platinoid or other material, placed inside one of two bulbs. When the current is excessive, a liquid such as mercury is forced into the bulb 33, and the lever 34 is rocked, thereby opening a switch 6 through a ]ever 86, and a pin-and-slot connexion 87. The main current then passes through the heating-wire 42 in the other bulb, and through the dimming- resistance 11, and the wire 42 is heated sufficiently to rock the switch again. In a similar instrument, the heating-wires are placed outside the bulbs, and contacts dipping into mercury cups are carried by the bulbs, the rocking switch 6 being dispensed with. The switch used may be of the type referred to in Specification 16,152/10, [Class 38 (v), Electric switches &c.].

Granted: 1911-06-16
Abstract: 14,531. Simpson, J., and Frost, T. June 16. Engraving. - Relates to flat table pantograph engraving-machines for engraving copper rollers, of the kind wherein the movement of the tracer in two directions at right - angles causes the roller to rotate, and a carriage supporting the diamond points to move longitudinally of the roller, and consists particularly in pivoting the rails on which the tracercarriage runs, to facilitate the movement of the tracer round sharp angles. The machine comprises a frame a, to which the side rails b are pivoted by pins c<1>, ball bearings b<1> being interposed to permit easy movement. The front ends of the side rails b are linked by a bar b<2>. The side-rails b are formed with ballraces b<3> to receive bearings d, which support a rigid carriage consisting of rails e and a transverse bar g. Moving transversely on bearings g<2> running in races on the bar g is a tracer f connected to a bar which is capable of sliding through a block integral with a bar r<3>, which runs on balls on a bar r<6> centrallymounted on ball bearings. This block embraces the bar r<6> so as to make it turn with the tracing-carriage e. On the upper side of one rail e is a series of hemispherical recesses which engage teeth l<2> on a wheel l carried by a transverse shaft l<1>, from which the motion due to the backward or forward movement of the tracer is communicated to the rollers y to be engraved by endless belts m and expanding pulleys p. Mounted on a shaft q<1> in fixed bearings is a wheel r having hemispherical teeth adapted to engage corresponding recesses in the bar r<3>. On the shaft q<1> are pulleys u<2>, around which pass belts attached at their ends to lugs on the tool-carriages u, which move transversely on ball bearings u<1>, whereby sideways movement of the tracer communicates motion to the diamonds v. The tracer t can be rotated by a motor x to obtain freer movement. The expanding pulleys p each comprise two disks p', one of which is formed with radial holes in which studs p<4> carrying segments p<5> of the rim slide. The inner ends of the studs bear on surfaces p‹ on a boss on the other disk, so that the diameter of the pulley can be varied by relatively moving the disks,
