Title: Improvements in Warning Horns or the like.
Inventor: DAVIDSON HAROLD
IPC: G08B7/02
Filed: 1910-11-24
Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 27,360. Davidson, H. Nov. 24. Indicator or visible signals; pncumatic signals.-An electric or pneumatic horn, whistle, or like warning-apparatus for motor and other vehicles is combined with an electrically or pneumatically operable figure or device, whereby, when the horn or whistle is sounded, a visible signal is simultaneously given. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the electric horn b is placed inside an animal figure, and the trumpet part a terminates in the animal's mouth, the lower jaw of which is pivotally mounted at c<3>. Arranged in series or parallel with the horn circuit is an electro - magnet f, which, when the horn is sounded, attracts the lower jaw against the action of the spring d or a weight. In the arrangement shown, the visible signal is operated first, the horn not being sounded until the contacts 1<a>, 1<b> are pressed together by the jaw. In addition to the jaw, other parts of the figure may be caused to operate. In the case of a pneumatic horn, the air from the engine exhaust or a pneumatic bulb passes through a bellows or the like connected so as to operate the movable part.

Abstract: 27,990. Schroeder, F. H. Dec. 1. Explosive gases, detecting.-In apparatus for indicating the presence of combustible gases by means of the heat generated by spongy platinum in contact with the gas, the spongy platinum is used mixed with substances that are bad conductors of heat and is covered with a permeable layer of such substances so that it shall not ignite the mixture. In the form shown, a vessel a with porous or perforated sides contains a resistance wire b embedded in a mixture of spongy platinum, kieselguhr, and asbestos fibres, the outer layers d containing no spongy platinum. The wire b is heated in the presence of combustible gas, and the resultant changes in the current generated by a battery are indicated by a suitable instrument.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Carburetters for Petrol Gas Manufacturing Apparatus.
Inventor: SLATTER FRANK VINCENT
IPC: C10J1/00
Filed: 1911-02-20
Granted: 1911-11-16
Abstract: 4288. Slatter, F. V. Feb. 20. Carburetting.-In a carburettor of the kind in which a spiral partition is secured to a cover and forms a spiral passage, the air is passed through the spiral passage, while the hydrocarbon flows radially beneath the partition. Petrol is supplied by a pipe 2 to a perforated gutter 3, from which it falls to the floor of the tray 4, which may have a slight camber except at the outer annulus 12. The petrol inlet is covered by a hood 10. A cover 6 carrying a spiral partition 8 rests loosely on the tray 4 leaving a space 7 round the edge. Wires 15 may be placed on the floor of the tray 4. Air admitted through pipe 1 issues from ports 9 and passes round the spiral; the outer walls of the cover are cut away at the bottom and the gas issues from the space 7. The carburettor may be placed in an anti-freezing liquid or in a gas-holder, in which case the tray 4 carries a pipe 13 over which the cover 6 fits, the pipe 13 serving as the gas outlet from the holder. Baffles may be secured to the cover between the turns of the spiral. The pipe 1 may be provided with a valve 17 which may be actuated by the movement of the gas-holder bell. In a modification, the lower edge of the partition 8 is slit or is formed of wire gauze, and the petrol floats on a layer of a liquid such as. glycerine in the tray 4; or the tray may have a double bottom, the space being filled with methylated spirit to assist in transmitting heat.

Title: Improvements in Push-button Electric Switches.
IPC: H01H13/56
Filed: 1911-03-11
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 6147. Hartmann & Braun Akt.-Ges. April 12, 1910, [Convention date]. Switches, quick - action; contacts.-A pushbutton switch is arranged to close and open a circuit upon successive depressions by means of a moving contact which travels over a closed path round a fixed contact. A contact K<1> carried on the free end of a spring F is caused to move over a path 1, 2, Fig. 3, on depression of the button D and on reaching the end of the insulating-layer J' moves freely along the path 2, 3 into engagement with the fixed contact K<2> under the tension of the spring F; on releasing the button D, the contact moves along the path 3, 4, engaging firmly under the upper curved end k of the contact. To open the circuit, the button D is again depressed, the contact K' moving along the path 4, 3, 5 and then, under the action of the spring F through an opening 0 in the contact K<2> to the position b, returning to its initial position a on the release of the button D. In order to prevent, on rapid depression of the button D, the contact K<1> from moving through the opening 0 and thus making only a short contact, a second insulating-step is arranged to catch the contact K<1> when closing the switch and only to release it and allow it to engage with the contact K<2> on the release of the button D. Auxiliary springs may be arranged at various points, for example at b, to strengthen the action of the spring F, and the contact K<1> may be guided over its path a, 1 ... 5, b, a by means of lateral guides instead of the insulating-layers above described. A spring S causes the button to follow the movements of the spring F and thus indicate whether the switch is ' on ' or ` off.'

Pulp, preparation of; materials, fibrous; waste products, treatment and utilization of. - Relates to the treatment of wood saw - dust, printed paper or manuscripts, waste cardboard, &c. for the manufacture of paper &c. The ordinary grinding-process is dispensed with and replaced by a combined chemical and mechanical treatment which is completed in about a quarter of an hour. The material, together with a suitable lye, is placed in a disintegrator A, and run therefrom into a vessel B in which the heavy impurities settle and are discharged by a suitable cock. The liquid and pulp in the vessel B is forced by compressed air from a reservoir F up the pipe c to a filter press C, where the pulp is separated from the liquid material, the pulp passing along a shoot while the liquid is passed along the pipe d to a vessel D, the upper part of which contains agitators D' while the lower part is divided into a series of filtering- chambers D<2>, D<3>, D<4>, D<5>. Within the vessel D, the colloidal impurities are separated by the addition of freshly-precipitated or gelatinous silica, silicate of lime, or alumina, &c., which mechanically envelope and carry down dissolved resin, size constituents, &c. From the vessel D the purified liquid is forced by compressed air back to the disintegrator A. to be re-used. The reservoir F is kept supplied with compressed air by means of an air-pump G. The apparatus is supplied with valves or cocks a, s, g<1>, e, r<1>, b, m, as shown. The lye employed may consist of soda with or without the 'addition of borax, soap and carbon tetra-chloride emulsion &c., or soda and 'antiformin,' which consists of a mixture of alkali hypochlorite and alkali hydroxide, soap and borax being added if desired.
