Abstract: 27,134. Sch³tze, P., and Przyrembel, J., [trading as Giesserei & Maschinenfabrik Oggersheim P. Sch³tze & Co.]. Dec. 19, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Casting; working by unclassified operations.- Cylindrical or approximately cylindrical articles such as pipes, boilers, and the like are internally coated with lead by first coating the article internally with tin or zinc in a known manner, then rotating the article and heating to melt the tin or zinc, and then introducing molten lead which is distributed over the walls by centrifugal force. The rotation may be effected by securing the pipe 1 in a chuck 2 in a lathe, the lead 3 being prevented from running out of the pipe by flanges 4, 5 at the ends. In the case of hollow bodies of small diameter, a lead pipe may be introduced into the body which has previously been coated with tin or zinc, and thewhole is rotated and heated until the lead is melted. The impurities in the lead will be found on the inner surface and may be removed by turning or boring, leaving a coating of pure lead.

Title: An Improved Apparatus for Use in the Electrolytic Manufacture of Metallic Foil or Leaf.
Inventor: COWPER-COLES SHERARD OSBORN
Filed: 1908-02-25
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 4273. Coles, S. O. Cowper-. Feb. 25. Alloys, copper, gold, lead, silver, and tin, obtaining; electrodes. - Metal foil is produced by electro - deposition on a rotating cathode consisting of sheets i, say of aluminium, supported in a groove j in a frame depending from arms h upon a rotatable shaft d, upon which presses a contact-brush o. Upon each side of the cathode brackets q support anodes p of the metal or metals to be deposited connected with bus-bars r. On each side of the annular vat a are pipes s, s<1> having perforated branches u, u<1>, through which compressed air or electrolyte is supplied so that the electrolyte is driven against both surfaces of the cathode. The aluminium cathode, which may be first dipped in methylated spirit, receives a film of oxide on entering the electrolyte, thus facilitating the removal of the deposited metal, which is effected by bending the sheets i. For depositing silver, an electrolyte is used composed of a solution of the double cyanide of potassium and silver. Gold leaf may be similarly made, all tints of gold being obtained by alloying it with copper &c. and varying the current density and the temperature of the electrolyte.

Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 21,938. Midgley, A. H., and Vandervell, C. A. Oct. 16. Armatures.-Direct-current dynamos and motors have chord-wound armatures in which the angle enclosed by each coil is one-third of the whole angle of the armature circumference divided by the number of pole pairs, whereby a large voltage or speed range may be obtained without sparking by rocking the brushes. Thus, the Figure shows a four-pole machine in which the angle d of the coils is 360/3Î2 or 60 degrees. The pole span is also shown equal to this angle, but, as usual, it may have any value less than, but not exceeding, the span of the armature coils. The ratio of the polar angle minus one-half the angle of the coils to the polar angle is equal to that of the minimum to the maximum speed or voltage, so that for the winding shown, the available range is given by 60-30/60 or 1: 2. The brushes b show the position for low speed in a motor and high voltage in a dynamo ; and the brushes b<1>, which are displaced by 30 degrees, show the position for high speed in a motor and low voltage in a dynamo.

Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 7643. BollÚe, L. April 15, 1908, [Conventio date]. Spray carburettors.-Two or more carburettors are combined, each being corrected to work most efficiently at the degree of suction at which it is brought into action. The low-speed carburettors have the fuel supply regulated, and the high-speed ones are provided with auxiliary air inlets. The carburettor b, with a fixed air inlet d, is supplied with fuel from a float chamber a through an auxiliary vessel p with a small orifice o. This orifice serves as the correcting-means for this carburettor, which is used at starting and at low speeds. It communicates with the suction pipe by a pipe k, an orifice j, and an adjustable passage l, the latter being used at the lowest speed. The second carburettor c is provided with correcting-means in the form of a supplementary air valve f, and its outlet is controlled by a piston valve h. This valve in its upward movement uncovers in succession the orifices j, n, thus bringing both carburettors into action. Two or more float chambers may be used, or the auxiliary vessel p may be closed at the top and placed under suction.

Inventor: WATKINS ALFRED
IPC: G03D13/00
Filed: 1909-05-22
Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 12,120. Watkins, A. May 22. [Addition to 22,456/07]. Logarithmic calculators. -Relates to modifications of the apparatus described in the parent Specification, for determining the relative times of development of photographic plates or films for different temperatures, and comprising two relatively movable slides, one bearing a temperature scale and the other a logarithmic scale representing time values, and in particular to such apparatus in which a thermometer is used as t h e temperature s c a l e. In the present modification, the thermometer does not bear a temperature scale, and the relative times of development for different temperatures are directly indicated by the expansion of a fluid. A thermometer has a single mark representing a standard temperature (say 60‹ F). The relatively movable logarithmic scale determined for a medium plate is positioned so that the correct time of development at 60‹ F. is indicated by this mark. The level of the fluid in the tube then directly indicates the time of development. The logarithmic scale, mounted on an endless band passing over two rollers b, is enclosed in a casing b<1> with a removable cap c, being thereby adjustable for other classes of plates. In a second modification, the logarithmic scale is fixed, in which case a certain time of development correct for a plate and a fixed dilution of a stated developer is determined in relation to the height of the fluid at a standard temperature. This particular combination serves for certain other plates with other specific dilutions of the same developer. The logarithmic scales used are prepared or calculated in the manner described in the above-mentioned Specification.
