Patent GB-191217648-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Process for the Manufacture of Plastic Metallic Packings.
IPC: F16J15/20
Filed: 1912-07-30
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 17,648. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Oct. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Packing, non-metallic.-In the manufacture of plastic metallic packing, thin metal flakes or leaflets are employed, and are obtained by directing a current of compressed air or steam against a thin stream of molten metal, so as to break it up into drops and propel it against a cool metal wall, such as a sheet of zinc. The leaflets have a certain elasticity as a result of the rapid cooling, and are mixed with flaky graphite, asbestos wool, and neutral fat, of high melting-point, to form the plastic packing. Greater elasticity of the leaflets may be obtained by directing the stream of metal against a corrugated wall. In addition to the leaflet, a small amount of metallic grit in the form of needles is produced, which serves merely as a filling-material in making up the packing. The leaflets may be obtained from an alloy of white metal and lead, or any metal having a low coefficient of friction. The packing may be rammed directly into stuffing-boxes, or made up into rings &c.

Title: Method of Operating Electromagnetic Striking Tools by Means of Alternating Current.
Inventor: SCHUELER LEO
IPC: H02K33/02
Filed: 1912-08-07
Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 18,184. Sch³ler, L. Aug. 7. Percussive hand tools. - The electro-magnet coil of a striking-tool is supplied with an alternating-current for such a length of time that the magnetic flux of the coil is not only formed but is also permitted to disappear so as to avoid sparking, after which the supply of current to the coil is stopped or weakened for a length of time sufficient for the return of the armature, the return being effected by a spring or by a second coil. The circuit of the tool T, Fig. 1, may be made and broken by a rotary switch 15 having a contact-segment 22 and' driven either positively from the alternating- current generator G or by a synchronous motor; or the switch may be dispensed with and the coil supplied from a generator for producing a voltage having a special wave form. Fig. 4 shows curves of the voltage E and of the current i and the magnetic flux B in the tool T illustrated in Fig. 1. The circuit of the coil is closed by the switch 15 at the zero point of the voltage curve E and is opened between the points of time 17 and 23, the current being either zero or very weak and sparking being thus avoided. To give sufficient time for the return of the armature by the spring &c., the switch is so arranged that it does not close the circuit at the commencement of every positive half-wave of voltage but closes at the commencement of every second or third &c. positive wave. A mercury-vapour rectifier, electric valve, or other rectifier may be connected in circuit with the switch. The circuit may be opened by the switch at the zero point 17, Fig. 4, of the current wave i, and the switch may then be bridged over by a high resistance which permits a small current to pass for cancelling residual magnetism. The tool shown in Fig. 1 has a hammer 6 rocking about a pin 7 through a hole in the cover 5.

Step-by-step conveyers.-A conveyer for use in the proving of dough comprises a frame 8 having internal cranks with crank-pins 13, 14 and 15, 16 respectively connected by bars 17, 19 with transverse parallel bars 18, 20 forming two intermeshing combs. Elevators 21, 23 in the form of combs convey the lumps of dough from one set of combs 18, 20 to a similar set above, which rotate in an opposite direction to cause the dough to take a sinuous path as shown diagrammatically in Fig. 5. The movement of the bars is accelerated when the dough is transferred from one set of hars to the other to prevent adhesion. A crank 25 on the shaft 24 is adapted to be engaged by a lug 26 on the driving-wheel 27 and also by a spring 28 fixed to a post 29. A similar mechanism is fixed on the shaft driving the combs 20. As the lug 26 advances beyond the centre remote from the post 29, the tension of the spring causes the crank to advance more rapidly than the driving-wheel 27. Modifications are described in which one comb remains stationary and also in which the bars of the conveyer are arranged parallel to the direction of movement.

IPC: F02M3/09
Filed: 1914-05-16
Abstract: 12,161. Bailly, O. May 16. Spray carburettors.-In carburettors having two main nozzles, one of which is supplied from a well open to the atmosphere whereby it goes out of action at high speeds, and also means for supplying mixture when the throttle is closed, these means comprise a third nozzle opening into a mixing tube adapted to be shut off from the induction pipe when the throttle is open. The main nozzles which are both fed through a constricted orifice, are shown at 6, 7, and the by-pass nozzle at 16. The nozzle 7 is supplied from the float chamber 4 through a constricted orifice 5, chamber 8 and passage 10, the nozzle 6 being also supplied through the orifice 5 and chamber 8 and through passages 18 leading to a chamber 9 open to the atmosphere, then through a bored plug 11, whence a conduit 20 leads to the nozzle 6. The by-pass nozzle 16, which delivers into a mixing tube 14, is also fed from the chamber 9. As the throttle is opened, fuel is withdrawn from the nozzles 6, 7 and the level therein falls owing to the constricted orifice 5. When the level in the chamber 9 reaches the plug 11, the nozzle 6 goes out of action, fuel being then supplied only through the nozzle 7. The throttle 3 is so constructed that, when fully open, the nozzle 16 is cut out of action. The plug 11 is interchangeable so as to vary the time at which the nozzle 6 goes out of action. In a modification, both nozzles 6, 7 enter the induction pipe at right-angles. Substitute the following abridgment for that appearing on page 358 :-
