Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 13,749. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Alct.-Ges.]. June 11. Exchange systems.-In exchange telephone systems, the switches by which the operator connects her speaking - set with the cord-circuits are of the kind in which one member is adapted to be removed, the operator being provided, with only one such removable member for all the switches at her position so that multiple listening-in is prevented. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, each cord-circuit a, b is connected by branch leads to the springs g, h of a corresponding jack, in which can be inserted the plug MS connected to the operator's speaking-set SpA. The sockets Kl of all the jacks are connected in series with a relay CR, which causes the control lamp ML to glow when the plug is inserted in any of the jacks. Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to a system in which the operator's speaking-set SpA is automatically connected to the cord-circuit by the relay ER when the enquiry plug is lifted or inserted in its jack, the relay being de-energized when the connecting-plug is raised &c. The circuit of the relay may again be closed, after a connexion has been made, by pressing a plug S upon a contact K connected to the relay ER. The relay CR controls the circuit of an indicating- lamp ML.

Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 23,628. Rossi, A. G. Oct. 15. Wave-detectors, with mirrors for direct recording, are constructed in accordance with the principle that a torsionally - strained magnetic wire vibrates under the action of periodic elec tric forces. A fine iron wire a, b carrying a small mirror s is subjected to adjustable ten sion and torsion by sup ports A, B and is surrounded by slotted copper tubes a, # or by coils a<1>, #<1> wound on glass tubes. Terminals are provided for the ends of the wire a, b and of the tubes a, #. According to one method, the wire a, b is connected between the antenna and earth, and the inner ends of the tubes a, # are connected to a capacity. Or an alternating potential may be given to the tubes a, # to produce resonant vibrations in the wire a, b, the amplitude of these vibrations being affected by electric oscillations in the wire. Or the wire a, b may be set in resonant vibration by passing an alternating current through it, the oscillations in the antenna being passed through the coils a<1>, #<1> to vary the amplitude, of the vibrations. The signals may be recorded photographically. Low-frequency tuning may be effected by correlating the wave-train frequency to the natural frequency of the wire.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Removing Dust and Foul Gases from Cotton and like Carding Engines.
IPC: D01G15/82
Filed: 1909-10-30
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 25,049. Smethurst, H., and Smethurst Ventilating and Engineering Co., H. Oct. 30. [Addition to 26,403/07.] Confining and expelling d u s t &c.-Relates to apparatus for removing dust and foul gases from carding-engines, which may also be utilized for ventilating the room in which the engines are situated, of the kind described in the parent Specification, in which a carriage carrying a hood is adapted to be brought into communication with any one of a series of inlets to an exhaust conduit, and consists in providing the conduit a with a series of inlets fitted with sliding valves e. The carriage c carrying the uptake-pipe k and hood d runs on rails b extending along the conduit a. As the carriage is moved on the rails, a spring-controlled lever g catches a projection f on the valve e and draws it along against the action of a spring i. When the carriage is in the correct position, a spring-pressed pin m engages a notch in a raised part n. Any further motion of the carriage forces the pin out of the notch, and tilts the lever g, releasing the valve. The connection between the uptakepipe k and conduit a is made automatically by a hoodlike part o pressed upwards by springs p. The hood d is connected to the uptake-pipe k by a pivoted joint q to allow the hood to be moved from the cylinder to the doffer. To enable the carding-engine to be cleared of the dust which collects thereon, a nozzle s and a flexible suction pipe r connected to the uptakepipe k are provided. A grid is provided at the neck of the hood to prevent fibres from being carried away by the draught. A hinged glass panel t is fitted to the hood, so that the cotton which collects on the grid may be readily removed. When it is desired to ventilate the room, a wire, which extends the length of the conduit a, and which has projections engaging with projections on each of the valves e, is pulled to open the valves against the action of the springs i.

Abstract: 29,673. Evans, E. V. Dec. 21. Sulphuretted hydrogen. - The sulphur compounds. of coal gas &c. are converted into sulphuretted hydrogen by the catalyst at a lower temperature if the gases are preheated, whereby the deterioration of the externally-heated iron and like containers is prevented, and fusion of the catalyst is avoided. The preheater may consist of a number of iron pipes b of small diameter situated in the furnace chamber and the gases mixed or not with steam pass from these into the container c, which is an iron pipe packed with pieces of fire-brick, which have been saturated with a nickel salt solution, and dried. It is found that a furnace temperature of 450‹ C. is sufficient, and that the gases should be preheated to a temperature of at least 360‹ C. A slightly higher temperature is required when iron and its compounds are used as the catalyst, and a still higher temperature if fire-brick is employed. When the nickel compound becomes inactive, plugs g, h at the ends of the tube c are removed and a current of air is maintained by natural draught through the pipe so that the material is revivified.
