Inventor: WEICHARDT WOLFGANG
Filed: 1904-01-11
Granted: 1904-12-15
Abstract: 710. Weichardt, W. Jan. 11. Anti-toxines; toxines.-The toxine of fatigue is obtained from animals by inducing muscular fatigue, bleeding the animal, and then cutting-out and pounding-up the muscles. Liquids such as blood serum or a solution of common salt may be added to the pulp, which is then pressed to remove superfluous liquid. The liquid thus obtained contains the toxine together with waste products from which it is freed by treatment in a centrifugal machine, by precipitation, and by dialysis. Blood plasm, or milk or other secretions, may be used in place of the muscle pulp. The toxine may be concentrated by boiling down in a vacuum. The anti-toxine is obtained by injecting the toxine into suitable animals, and obtaining the blood serum or serum from their milk or tissues. The blood serum may also be obtained by bleeding an unfatigued animal after sleep. The anti-toxine is separated from the serum by allowing it to diffuse, through aseptic parchment paper or bladder, into distilled water. The solution obtained is evaporated in a vacuum. The anti-toxine obtained can be used as an injecting-liquid, or as an addition to enemas, food, or pills or similar pharmaceutical preparations.

Granted: 1905-06-01
Abstract: 2552. Daulaus, O. May 18, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Starting; turning-gear; fly-wheels. - A multipledisk or other " maximum" brake is provided with a spiral spring which is wound up to a certain amount before the braking action between the disks commences, thus storing up energy to be used in starting the engine. An outer casing 1, Figs. 1 and 2, is fixed to the frame of the engine and contains a drum 2 provided with a set of disks 3 arranged so as to alternate with another set of disks 4 secured to a drum 5. A spiral spring 6 has one end secured to the drum 5 and its other end to a piece 7, which is connected by a quick-pitch screwthread to a piece 8 adapted to be moved asially by means of a pivoted lever 10, which operates a ring 11. The pieces 7, 8 are further connected by a helical spring 9. A cylinder 18, which is keyed to the rotary shaft 19, is provided with a squared end over which fits the inner part 17 of a free-wheel clutch, the outer part 16 being secured to the part 2. When the lever 10 is in the position shown in Fig. 2, the shaft 19 can rotate freely in the direction of the arrow A. When the lever is moved in the direction of the arrow B, the piece 8 is moved outwards and also rotated by the action of the screw-thread, thus tightening up the spring 9, which, by clutching. on the cylinder 18, causes the pieces 7, 8 to rotate and wind up the spring 6. After the spring has become wound, braking action takes place between the two series of disks, the drum 2 being held at rest by the contact of a snug 13 formed thereon with a rod 12 connected to the lever 10.. To utilize the energy of the spring, the lever 10 is moved in the direction opposite to the arrow B, thus releasing the drum 2 and allowing the spring 6 to unwind from its outer end, and so to impart a rotation in the direction of the arrow A to the shaft 19 by means of the clutch 16, 17. The spring is. kept from unwinding in the opposite direction by a pawl 14 and ratchet 15, and the friction between the disks is adjusted by screws 20. Balls 21, 22 are placed between the case 1 and drum 2 for ease of running, and rubber washers, springs, Belleville rings, &c. may be introduced between the disks. In modifications, the spring 6 may be arranged outside the brake; or the apparatus may be mounted as a fixture on the driving- shaft and used as a fly-wheel.

A flanged sleeve A, Fig. 1, of brass or like material, sliding in a similar tube b, conveys current to the upper carbon k, and carries the clutch mechanism and the core of a solenoid p. In one form, Fig. 3, the laminated core G, sliding on the sleeve, is linked by a bail F to a lever E, pivoted at D in a slot in a flange C. The upper arm of the lever E forms a loop embracing the sleeve A, and the lower arm has a projecting piece arranged to grip the carbon when the core G is raised. In another form, Fig. 5, adapted for continuous currents, the core G is pivoted in the lower flange C and connected by a link P to a grip-block N. This block is loosely mounted in a slot in the lower flange C and is attached by a wire O to the upper flange B. When the solenoid p is excited, the core G first turns and draws the block against the carbon, and is then lifted with the sleeve. The sleeve may have an extension, Fig. 3, carrying the core I of a balancing-solenoid m. To prevent short-circuiting when the upper carbon is burnt short and falls through the sleeve, an insulating refractory plug w is held in the end of the tube b by springs, by screwing, or by a bayonet-joint. The plug w also forms a stop for the sleeve A, which has a projecting stud Q. Each solenoid is suspended by means of a bolt and adjusting-nut from the cover-plate c. Current passes through the two solenoids in series to a binding-screw l, and thence through the plate a to the tube b, sleeve A, and upper carbon. The lower carbon-holder is carried by an insulated rod g, attached to the plate a, and preferably hinged or otherwise constructed so that it can be moved out of line with the upper carbon. In the end of the tube b screws a tube d, having a flange c' which secures the cover-plate c. To this tube is attached the insulating supporting-pulley f. The flange of the enclosing globe v is permanently secured between rings x, y, the recess between which is filled with asbestos, plaster, or the like. The upper ring y is formed with a spigot which fits into a faucet on the plate a, suitable packing being used. The flanges on the sleeve A and the tube b may be replaced by guide plates and rods. The solenoid p is of the iron-clad type, as shown.
