Patent GB-191003527-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Electric Burglar Alarms.
Inventor: ALDRICH GEORGE ALFRED
IPC: G08B13/22
Filed: 1910-02-14
Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 3527. Aldrich, G. A. Feb. 14. Burglar alarms. - In a system having a normally-closed circuit, it is arranged that the locking of the outer door of the building completes the closed circuit through the protective contacts and a first relay, the armature of which controls the circuit of a second relay, which controls the bell - circuit. The second relay is adapted to close a hold-on circuit for itself. The contact 25, which is closed by the locking of the door, is in series with the relay A and the protective contacts 26. When this circuit is broken, the armature 11 closes contact at 12, and brings the relay B into a circuit through the leads J, L, contact 12, relay B, and lead N. The contact 20 closes the circuit of the bell, and the contact 19 closes the holdon circuit of the relay B. When the armature 11 is first attracted by the closing of the contact 25, it releases a drop indicator which closes a contact at C, thus providing a short circuit round the door contact. The apparatus for closing the circuit when the door is locked is shown in Fig. 3. The sliding of the bolt pushes back the piece 40 and causes the spring 44 to close contact at 52, 53. The detent 45, 46 holds the piece 40 in this position until it is further pushed back, whereupon the notches 48 ride up the incline 50 and the detent is disengaged.

Title: Improvements in or appertaining to Spinning Mules.
Inventor: BOYDELL ERNEST
IPC: D01H3/00
Filed: 1910-06-22
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 14,988. Boydell, E. June 22. Mules.-Relates to an arrangement for driving the rollers and the carriage in a mule, which will allow the carriage to move independently of the rollers for " jacking." During the usual operation of the mule, motion is transmitted from the usual shaft c, through bevel-gearing d, a, and a clutch f<1> to a sleeve f, on which is mounted a gear g, which is connected to the sleeve by a roller or like clutch. The gear g transmits motion to the carriage through a gear o mounted on a shaft c<3>. The roller shaft b is driven by the usual connexions from the sleeve f. During " jacking " when it is necessary to drive the carriage at a slow speed without rotating the shaft b, the clutch f<1> is opened, and the gear o is driven through bevel-gearing c<1>, c<2>. The gear o is mounted on a roller or like clutch so that, when it is driven by the gear g, it overruns the more slowly moving shaft c<3>, but when the shaft c<3> becomes the driver, the clutch comes into operation and transmits motion from the shaft to the gear.

Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 20,560. Milne, S. Sept. 3. Pulp, preparation of.-In a machine for preparing bamboo for pulp, the knots are first removed by a pair of circular saws or other cutters c; the lengths of bamboo then fall into a hopper d and are fed between crushing-rollers g, h, i by means of an endless travelling band e, being finally cut up into small pieces between fixed and rotary cutters j<1>, j<2> and conveyed by means of a shoot k and conveyer l to the digesters. The knots fall down a shoot n on to a conveyer o. The crushing-rollers g, h, i are mounted in fixed adjustable or spring bearings, the rollers i having the largest teeth and being farthest apart, while the rollers g have the smallest teeth and are closest together. The travelling- band e is driven by an adjustable friction pulley, and the rollers g, h, i by spur-gearing q from the shaft of the cutter j<2>, which is driven by a pulley p<1>. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the crushing and cutting-up is performed simultaneously by a pair of flanged rollers or series of disks r<1>, r<2>, between which the bamboo falls after leaving the knot-removing cutters c.

In the form shown in Fig. 1, a tube c made of sheet lead or pewter is fixed over the insulating base-block b by spinning, the soft metal at the front of the base forming a flange into which the edge of the cover bites when it is secured in place. The sheath is flanged at the back to engage with the metal base d and form an earth connexion therewith. In a modified form, Fig. 2, the insulating base-block is secured inside an earthed metal base d, the outside of which has a soft metal ring e as a bedding for the cover a. Hollow, flanged, and flat bedding- rings may be used.

Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 25,291. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Oct. 31. Triarylmethane dyes are obtained by introducing one or two benzyl groups into the amino group of the leuco compounds obtained from maminobenzaldehyde or its substitution products and two molecular proportions of an aromatic oxycarboxylic acid (salicylic, o-cresotinic, or 1:2- or 2:3-oxynaphthoic acid, or mixtures thereof), and subsequently oxidizing the benzylated products. The dyes may be sulphonated, or the leuco compounds can be first sulphonated and then oxidized, or may be sulphonated and oxidized in one operation. According to examples, the leuco compound from o-chlor-maminobenzaldehyde and o-cresotinic acid is dibenzylated and oxidized; the same dibenzylated leuco compound is sulphonated and oxidized; the leuco compound from m-aminobenzaldehydeo-sulphonic acid is dibenzylated and oxidized. The products dye wool from acid baths red shades, becoming blue on chroming. Specification 15,337/85 is referred to,

Title: Improvements in or relating to Centrifugal Elastic Fluid Compressors.
Inventor: ALQUIST KARL
IPC: F04D27/02
Filed: 1910-12-12
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 28,803. Alquist, K. Dec. 12. Regulating centrifugal fans. In centrifugal compressor systems compressing two or more flows in parallel, the several suction pipes are connected by regulating-mechanism which disturbs an unduly increased flow in any pipe, thus preventing undue rise of pressure in the corresponding part, but leaves the several flows practically undisturbed as long as they maintain their normal relative proportions. Two arrangements are described, in the first of which converging-diverging nozzles c, d, Fig. 1, are provided in the suction pipes a, b, the throats of the nozzles opening on to chambers e, f connected by a pipe g. If the flow increases in one pipe, fluid enters the nozzle throat in that pipe and disturbs the flow, until the pressures are equalized. In the other arrangement, a fan or impeller is placed in each suction pipe and connected so that if one flow increases the impeller in this pipe will be driven at a higher speed, the energy absorbed serving to increase the flow in the other pipe, through the other impeller.

Granted: 1912-01-29
Abstract: 2116. Devaucelle, T. P. Jan. 27. Ammonia; alkali and alkaline-earth cyanides. -In the production of ammonia, cyanide is first formed from a mixture of alkali or alkalineearth oxides or carbonates and petroleum, coke, tar, retort-carbon, or graphite, made into balls or blocks with pitch or the like. The blocks &c., without any-preliminary burning, are heated in a retort or other furnace to a temperature at which cyanide will not decompose, and a current of pure nitrogen is passed over them. Cyanide is formed, and afterwards decomposed by passing steam into the retort with the production of ammonia. In a modification the carbonaceous material may be omitted from the mixture, and the necessary carbon is then supplied by naphthalene vapour mixed with the nitrogen.

Abstract: 2825. Typograph Ges. Feb. 5, 1910, [Convention date]. Assembling and alining matrices; driving-mechanism.-In machines of the kind known as the Typograph, the ledge by which the matrices forming a line are supported and alined is retracted during the composition of ordinary type and is advanced only when the machine is thrown into gear. When mixed or italic type is to be composed, the ledge is advanced before the line is assembled. The ledge 1 is carried by a plate 2 mounted to slide on a spindle 3, and is held in the advanced position by a spring 5. The ledge is held in the retracted position by a slide 14 carrying a plate 9 which can be interposed in the path of an arm 10 on the plate 2. To permit the ledge to advance, the slide 14 is pushed back by a cam 13. on the rod 12, by means of which the machine is thrown into gear. After the casting operation, the ledge is retracted by a link 19 and a lever 18 operated by the rotation of the mould-holder. A spring 11 pushes back the plate 9 into the path of the arm 10. Means is provided for preventing the retraction of the ledge so that the same line may be cast again. A stop on the lever 18 prevents the machine from being thrown into gear, if owing to dirt, splashes of lead, &c. the ledge is not fully advanced.
