Granted: 1908-07-13
Abstract: 15,941. Petersen, H. July 11. Roasting-furnaces.-In muffle furnaces for roasting sulphide and like ores in which two sets of muffles are heated by a single furnace, the gases, after passing in succession through flues beneath the two lower muffles, are divided into two streams which pass through parallel flues between the upper and lower muffles. The paths of the furnace gases and the ore are shown in Fig. 1 by the featherless and feathered arrows respectively. The two sets of muffles B<1>, B<2> are heated by a single furnace, from which the products of combustion pass through a flue running the length of the muffles B<1> and back along a similar flue beneath the muffles B<2>. The gases then pass upwardly through an inclined flue F and divide, part passing through the flue A<1> and part through the flue A<2>. The ore travels first along the upper chambers, and then passes by the connecting flue D to the lower chambers.

Abstract: 2497. Pollen, A. H., and Isherwood, H. Feb. 4. Range-keepers.-Relates to means for giving mechanically a reading of the changing range of a moving target when the initial bearing, range, speed, and course of the target are known and the course and speed of the observing ship. If BO, CO, Fig. 2, represent the velocities of the observing ship and of the target respectively so that BC represents the velocity of the ship both in magnitude and direction with respect to the target then a carriage R travelling along BC with a velocity proportional to BC will represent the travel of the ship. The bar OZ is set to the bearing of the target, and the bar RL, Fig. 5, is set so as to be parallel to OZ and, initially, so that it passes through the centre of a drum T connected to a drum G as shown. The carriage R is spring-pressed towards C, Fig. 6, but constrained by a rod K carrying a roller L, which engages a fixed bar BM and only allows motion of the carriage to the left in proportion to its own constant travel outwards under the influence of clock-work. A pointer on the drum T indicates the range as the drum is rotated. The readings may be transmitted to the gun.

Title: Improvements in Relays especially applicable for Block Signalling on Railways.
Inventor: FIRTH HAROLD WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-05-14
Granted: 1909-08-16
Abstract: 10,509. Firth, H. W., and Leake, F. W. May 14. Switches, electromagnetic. A polarized relay is actuated by the first only of any series of current impulses of the same sign, and its armature is then held by a catch in its neutral position until a current of the opposite sign frees it from the catch. The polarized armature 1, Fig. 1, of the relay is normally held in its neutral position by the attraction on it of an extension piece 3<a> on the pole-piece of a permanent magnet; but a current of the proper sign flowing in the coils of the electromagnet 4 causes the armature to move to close its local circuit at 6. During this movement, a flexible extension-rod 7 on the armature has moved over the catch 8 from the position 12, Fig. 2, to the position 13, and on the cessation of the current impulse the armature swings the rod into the position 11. The rod being in this position, the catch prevents the armature from moving under the influence of a current of the same sign until an impulse of the reverse sign has moved the armature to the left and the rod to the position 10 where it is free of the catch. In a modification, the latch and catch are carried by two separate polarized armatures 14, 15, Fig. 5, one of which is adapted to be moved by a current in one direction flowing in the coil 4, and the other by a current in the reverse direction. The relay is especially applicable for block signalling systems for railways, such as are described in Specifications No. 9284, A.D. 1901, and No. 25,240, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Railway signals &c.].

Abstract: 11,452. Brunnschweiler, J. July 8, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Cams.-The balanced work-frame of an embroidery machine is moved in two directions at right-angles by two pattern cylinders 2, each having a spiral pattern surface upon which a roller i runs. The cylinders are carried by shafts q having screwthreads l, k, which work in fixed nuts n so that, as the shafts are revolved by the gear p, the cylinders are moved laterally in accordance with the pitch of the pattern spiral. In the construction shown, the cylinders are formed of a number of plates s, Fig. 3, which are split along one radius and twisted to form single elements of a helical surface when placed in the screw-thread groove cut in the shaft. To return quickly the cylinders and their shafts when an operation is completed, the nuts n are split, and the halves can be separated when the clamping-presses are removed. The shape of the pattern spiral is determined Ly substituting a marking point for the roller i, which may then be used to mark the disks as the work frame is moved by the usual pantograph.
