Granted: 1915-07-22
Abstract: 29,325. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Dec. 19. Chromium and iron chlorides are obtained by heating chromium ores such as chrome ironstone with gaseous hydrochloric acid or chlorine and with a reducing-agent such as coal, coke, or carbon monoxide, the products being separated bv volatilization. When hydrochloric acid is use the iron chloride volatilizes and the chromium chloride is dissolved out of the mass with water; when chlorine is used, both chlorides usually volatilize, the chromium chloride depositing on the cooler parts of the apparatus. In examples, chrome ironstone and coke are heated in a current of hydrochloric acid; and chrome ironstone is heated in a current of carbon monoxide and chlorine until ferric chloride is no longer evolved, whereupon soluble impurities are extracted with water and the chromium chloride is extracted in any suitable way.

Centrifugal switches.-The circuit of a fan motor is automatically interrupted at intervals by a centrifugal device B having one sleeve fixed by a screw c to the motor shaft. A loose sleeve D<2> pulls a conducting-disk E away from insulated spring contacts H, J when the speed rises. As the speed falls, an insulating ring G on the disk first touches the contacts and prevents the closure of the circuit until a sufficient retardation has resulted, after which the disk E re-establishes the motor circuit. The contact H is in two parts pivoted together at Z, the outer one being under the control of a spring X so as to permit of its being forced back by the disk, and the inner one mounted on an insulated flat spring I.

Abstract: 4335. Kay, C. W., and Callender's Cable and Construction Co. March 19. Entanglements, military. - W i r e entanglements which are collapsible and movable are made up in separate units each of which can be opened and closed and erected quickly. The longitudinal barbed wires E of a unit a r e stretched between spiders fixed to a central tube B, the spider being composed of arms S which can be closed down upon the central tube, and stays C, the arms being connected by chains when extended.. To close the entanglement, the bars F are removed, the split-pin P is withdrawn from the tube B, so that the hub may slip, and the radial arms S are pulled down close to the tube B. Outside the spiders and connected to the shaft B are rods F, the ends of which dig into the ground and prevent the structure from being pushed back bodily. The lower part of the rods or struts F are hinged and secured by a spring catch. By pulling on a rope L, the catch is released, and the spike part G is rotated so as to become a skid. A rod made in parts fitting into one another may be used for pushing the structure into position, and the rope L may be made fast to the ground, so that the structure cannot be drawn away bodily.

Title: Improvements in Explosive Shells for Artillery.
Inventor: MCCANN JOSEPH
IPC: F42C9/12
Filed: 1915-07-19
Granted: 1915-10-14
Abstract: 10,470. McCann, J. July 19. Projectiles.-Consists in making shells in a number of sections arranged one within the other and adapted to burst in succession during flight, the explosion of the first section causing the expulsion therefrom of the other sections, and so on, and the whole, or the sections still unexploded, being exploded on impact. As shown in Fig. 1, the shell comprises three sections 1, 2, 3 each containing a bursting-charge 4, 5, 6 and a diaphragm 7, 8, 9. The shells 1, 2 are bored out at 10, 18 to form shoulders 11, 19 at their front ends, and a pair of split rings 13, 14 is disposed between the diaphragm 7 and the shell 2, and another pair of split rings between the diaphragm 8 and the shell 3, which contains an ordinary shrapnel filling. When the first charge 4 is exploded, the shells 2, 3 are expelled together from the shell 1, which is then burst into fragments as soon as the forward motion of the split rings 13, 14 and the diaphragm 7 is checked by the shoulder 11 and the explosion gases are thus confined within the shell 1. A short time after this first explosion, the second charge 5 is exploded with a similar effect. Finally, the shrapnel shell 3 bursts in the usual way. The several charges 4, 5, 6 may be made to explode more or less simultaneously during flight, instead of in regular succession. If impact occurs before the above series of explosions begins or is completed, the whole set of shells or those still remaining are burst simultaneously. Projectile fuses.-The fuse for bursting the compound shell described above comprises a pellet 22 which is normally held at safe by a ring 23 and a spring 26, but sets back when the shell is fired from a gun, and starts a timetrain 27, 28, which is connected by trains 32, 33, 34 to the charges 4, 5, 6 respectively. The first explosion is timed in the usual way by a setting of the train 28, and the other explosions follow at predetermined intervals. When it is desired to make the several shells burst more or less simultaneously instead of in the regular succession described, a screw 39, Fig. 3, provided with a part 40 is turned through a right-angle from the position shown to connect the trains 32, 34 together; the charges 4, 6 then explode simultaneously and the intermediate charge 5 soon after. The fuse also comprises a nose-plug 35 which is pushed in on impact and fires a fuse train 36 leading to all the charges 4, 5, 6.
