Granted: 1902-05-08
Abstract: 11,003. Blochmann, G. F. R., and Bichel, C. E. May 28. Bearings, instruments for determining.-Relates to apparatus for transmitting and receiving electric rays or waves in any desired direction, for purposes of signalling or telegraphy, or for firing explosive mines. The radiator or transmitter c is enclosed in a casing b, made of or covered with metal to absorb or dissipate the radiations, and having one or more apertures fitted with lens-shaped bodies h of resin, wax, &c., adapted to transmit the radiations. The radiator is connected to the lens, so that it is in the focus of the latter or can be adjusted into the focus. To enable the radiations to be transmitted in any desired direction, the lens is pivoted in the casing, and the casing is revolubly mounted on a support a, or the casing may be mounted on gimbals &c. The radiator is connected to a generator and operating mechanism, which may be placed outside the casing. The arrangement shown comprises a battery d, a telegraph key e, an interrupter f, and an inductor g, but an alternating current dynamo or other source of energy may be used. The receiver is enclosed in a similar casing k, which may be arranged above, below, or at the side of the casing b, the deflector m for the radiations being placed in the focus of the lens l. The indicating mechanism of the receiver may be placed inside or outside the casing. When the detector m is of the nature of a coherer, a relays is employed to close the local circuit p<1>, through a telegraphic registering apparatus r, a call-bell, &c., or a relay or contact apparatus for causing the radiator c of the transmitter to act in a definite manner. The call-bell or contact-apparatus may be arranged in parallel circuit with the relay circuit o<1>. For recording signals telephonically, the relay n is replaced by one or more telephones. By employing a segmental wheel &c., certain signs or series of signs can be transmitted during a predetermined period. The casings, and also the lenses, of the transmitter and receiver may be connected by levers and rods, so that they can be moved in unison. When used for locating ships, an apparatus on the ship is turned round a vertical axis while giving signals at intervals, and an apparatus on the coast receiving such a signal at once replies, so enabling the locality and direction of the coast station to be ascertained. Each coast-station would have a special signal, and after finding two such stations the locality of the ship can be determined. The apparatus may also be employed for calling any desired station, or for synchronous operation of several stations, e.g., in connection with river traffic, or military operations on land or sea, &c.

Patent GB-190125102-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Formolators
Inventor: DUSSAIX HENRI
Filed: 1901-12-09
Granted: 1902-05-15
Abstract: 25,102. Dussaix, H. Dec. 9. Disinfecting.-Relates to apparatus for generating formaldehyde under pressure by the action of heat on trioxymethylene, and for automatically projecting the gas into the atmosphere when the pressure has reached a certain point, in such a manner as to prevent reformation of trioxymethylene. The trioxymethylene is placed in a receptacle, which is heated by a lamp 27 and surrounded by a jacket 26 provided with an outlet 28 for the products of combustion. The cover 2, which is secured upon joint packing by bolts 3, communicates at 4 with an expansible copper diaphragm 6, and at 5 with a passage and a pipe leading to the atmosphere. The diaphragm 6 is connected with a spindle 9, which is normally pressed down by springs 10 adjustable by a screw cap 12, and is connected by an arm 23 with a sleeve 22. This sleeve controls, and is connected with, a socket 19, within which a spring 18 acts on a ring 17 fixed to a valve-rod 14 which closes the passage 13. In operation, when the gas has attained the desired pressure, the diaphragm 6 raises the sleeve 22 and socket 19, and when a shoulder 24 on the socket strikes against the nut 20, the valve-rod 14 is raised almost independently of the direct pressure of the gas upon it. The passage 13 is thus opened for the free exit of the gas which does not exercise upon the valve any dynamic action, such as might cause cooling or re-formation of trioxymethylene. A modification of the apparatus is also described, in which the spindle of the diaphragm constitutes the exit passage of the gas, and contains the exit valve.
