Abstract: 8004. Schwab, K. April 9, 1910, [Convention date]. Filaments consist of drawn tungsten containing a very little of a non-metallic element such as arsenic, boron, sulphur, silicon, and particularly phosphorus, which prevents alteration of structure with use, especially by alternating current, but does not appreciably affect the resistance. A few thousandths of the non-metal per cent is sufficient. Tungsten containing the non-metallic substance can be drawn directly, or an alloy with an auxiliary metal, such as copper, iron, or preferably nickel, may be worked, and the auxiliary metal expelled by heating, preferably after the filaments are mounted on supports. In making the alloy, the metals, such as tungsten and nickel, and the non-metal, such as phosphorus, may be fused in an electric furnace in a vacuum or inert gas; or a reduction process may be used, and the phosphorus added in working, or phosphoric tungsten or nickel may be employed. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) also includes the use of a little antimony; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Inventor: ZELENAY CONSTANTIN
IPC: E21C49/00
Filed: 1912-03-13
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 6256. Zelenay, C. March 13. Peat, preparing.-Bog peat is loosened and cut by a revolving device 9, raised by a screw conveyer inside a tube 10, delivered to a shoot 30, mixed in a machine 32, and finally delivered by a spout 45. The tube 10 is suspended from a plate 12, the height of which may be adjusted by means of a windlass 8. Inside the part 9 are two partitions 26, Fig. 9, terminating in cutters 28 and forming helical passages 27 for the ascent of the peat to the conveyer 11. The conveyer and cutters are driven independently from a motor 13. The peat delivered by the shoot is taken by a travelling band 31 to a mixer 32, one half of which is empty, and the other contains a rotary device having compartments formed by radial blades 35, Fig. 5. The speed of the latter is regulated so that peat from the top of the bog issues into the outlet 36 from a compartment at the same time as peat from the bottom layers issues from the other side of the mixer. The mixture is then treated by beaters 43 and a conveyer 44 and forced into the outlet 45. The main platform 1 is adapted to run on rails 2, and the frame 7 carrying the tube 10 on transverse rails 6 on the platform.

Title: Improvements in Phonograph Reproducers and the like.
Inventor: SCOTT HARRY TYRRELL
Filed: 1912-05-08
Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 10,985. Scott, H. T. May 8. Stylus mountings; sound-boxes.-A phonograph sound-box of the floating-weight type is arranged with the plane of its diaphragm and floating weight vertical, the latter being adapted to move horizontally on a vertical pivot under the influence of a torsion and tension spring, and has its stylusholder also carried on a vertical pivot in such a way that all looseness is eliminated, but yet allowing free movement of the reproducing-stylus to track the record groove without side pressure, or lateral wearing of the groove. The sound-box 12 is supported on a pillar 5 which may be rotated or moved vertically in a clamp socket 6. The stylus floating- weight 30 has the usual circular portion 31 before the diaphragm and an extension 32 carrying a balance-weight 33, and is supported at its centre of gravity by a pointed pin 36 on the weight resting in a hollow 37 in a pin 38 secured to the soundbox 12, Fig. 5. A torsion and tension spring 41 attached at its upper end to a pin 40 on the weight, and at its lower end to a pin 42 having a polygonal cross-section to prevent turning m its holder 45 and yet permit adjustment of torsion, always tends to return the floating weight to its central position if it be moved vertically. The torsional effect also always tends to move the weight 30 and with it the stylus towards the vertically-arranged record cylinder 61. Figs. 4 and 9 show the stylus-holder 20 on a vertical pivot 60 which is held in two semicylindrical depressions 65 by a double-ended spring 70 resting in notches in the pivot 60 to prevent vertical movement of the pivot. A wire 19 connects the diaphragm with the stylus-holder 20. Undue movement of the floating weight 30 is prevented by a wire loop 50 engaging a pin 51 on the weight, the loop being adjusted by a fork 52 and rod 53. In one modified form, Fig. 16, the spring 41<a> is attached to a yoke 104 having pivot points 102, 103, engaging depressions in a web 100 integral with the weight 30, and on a level with the pivot-supporting point 36<a>, thereby preventing the spring 41<a> from bringing the weight back to its horizontal position. In this form also, the lower end of the spring 41<a> has its pin adjustably held in a screw clamp. In another modification, the soundbox is mounted universally adjustable, and the end of the stylus-holder opposite the stylus, Fig. 21, is carried upon a plate 150 which is mounted on horizontal pivots 151 in the floating weight, a small leaf spring 152 connecting the plate 150 and the weight 31<c>. The diaphragm is held in position against a conical flange by a conical washer and screw, the tightening of which screw tends to stretch the diaphragm.

Abstract: 11,000. Robertson, R. May 9. Nozzles for producing whirling sprays; cleaning-devices. - A spraying-nozzle for spraying lime wash &c., and of the kind in which a nozzle end slides over the body in order that an internal spike may be projected into the discharge orifice for cleaning purposes, is provided with a bead-piece or disk having discharge passages and a wire stem or rod secured to the disk. The wire, which is coiled, passes through the body of the nozzle. Fig. 1 shows the nozzle end or cap-piece b sliding over the body a, the internal wall b<1> tapering to an outlet c. A coiled wire i is screwed and carries at one end a grooved disk g. Should the nozzle tend to become choked, the part b is forced back against the spring j until the end k of the wire clears the orifice c. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the wire i is coiled to form a spring i<3>, so that when the nozzle tends to become choked, the increased pressure causes the spring to ' start ' and project the stem forward. A small disk or plug may be secured to the end of the wire i, so that the discharge from the nozzle may be temporarily cut off.
