Abstract: 15,078. Meeds, F. G.; and Gee, W. F. June 28. [Cognate Application, 28,372/12.] Sashes balanced by weights; sash weights.- Sliding window sashes are balanced by cords or chains passing over pulleys or sprocketwheels mounted at or about the level of the meeting rails, and connected to sash weights, means being provided for simultaneously locking the upper and lower sashes. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the sashes are balanced by chains d passing over sprocket - wheels e to weights f, the upper ends of which are slotted at h, Fig. 8, to allow the weights to rise past the sprocket - wheels. The sashes are locked by pins l, passed through the inside lining of the window - frame into holes k in the sprocketwheels e, the spindles q of which are mounted in inclined slots p in the casings g, Fig. 6, so that the sprockets can be pushed back into the casings when the sashes are inserted in the window frame. The locking pin l may be provided with a pair of cranked portions l<X>, as shown in Fig. 10, for engagement with the holes k. In the modification shown in Fig. 12, the chains and sprocket-wheels are replaced by cords r and pulleys s, the sashes being locked by the engagement of a sliding bolt u, mounted in a casing t on the pulley-stile, with notched bars or racks v mounted on the sashes. The sliding bolt may be operated by a key w engaging the squared stem z of a snail y gearing with a rack u<1> formed on the bolt u.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Electrodes for Electrolytic Measuring Instruments.
IPC: G01R22/02
Filed: 1912-08-09
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 18,341. Hatfield, H. S., and Chamberlain & Hookham. Aug. 9. Electrolytic meters.- Electrodes make contact with electrolytes only at lines of separation between the electrolytes and bodies of gas liberated from or to be absorbed by the electrolyte. In one form, a small glass cup attached to the inside of a measuring tube is lined with platinized platinum or other conductive material ; the cup is filled by the gas evolved, so that only the edge of the lining is exposed to the liquid. A number of such cups of hexagonal section may be arranged together in honey-comb fashion. In other forms, metal gauze 4, or a grill or perforated plate, is placed over the mouth of a cup 3. The mouth of the cup in the first form, and the holes in the gauze or the like in the second form, are small enough to prevent any passage of the electrolyte or gas, except the escape of bubbles at intervals. Specifications 3327/05 and 10,614/08 are referred to.

Abstract: 19,438. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., Murray, C. H., and Johnston, F. G. D. Aug. 24. Loading - appliances.-Relates to trays such as are used to carry projectiles to the loading-hoists, and in the hoist cages, and consists in constructing such trays with sides, comprising arrangements of links, which are automatically collapsible when two trays are brought together for the purpose of transferring the projectile from one tray to the other. In the construction shown in Fig 2, the tray b carrying a projectile a is traversed by a screw i up to the tray h of a hoist cage. The collapsible side of the tray b is constituted by two sets of toggle-links c, g, d, the link d being provided with an arm d<1>, which, during the travel of the tray, is supported by a fixed bar p. At the end of the inward travel, the arm d<1> leaves the bar p and strikes a fixed stop o, whereby the links are collapsed and the projectile is free to roll towards the tray h. The collapsible side of the tray h comprises two sets of links k, l, of which the links l are pivoted to spring-pressed slideblocks m, so that the side of the tray h is collapsed by the weight of the projectile rolling on to the tray, and is then re-erected by the spring n. A rod r connected to the block m passes through an aperture s in the wall t of the hoist when the links k, l are collapsed, and prevents premature raising of the cage, and also prevents the collapse of the side during the travel of the cage.

Spray carburettors.-The air and fuel valves are connected through a variable linkage mechanism, and the opening of the fuel-valve is adjustable relatively to that of the air-valve. Fuel is discharged from a narrow annular orifice 14, the flow of air past which is controlled by a part 19 of non-conducting material held between plates 16, 17 on the spindle 15. The movement of the part 19 is damped by a dash-pot 18, and is limited by the part 22, which may be adjusted by a lever 27. The supply of mixture for slow running is controlled by a screwed plug 29.

Abstract: 21,642. Ward, J. Sept. 25. Hinges readily separable about hinge pin.- For coupling side-cars and the like to motorcycles &c., a stud adapted to enter a socket is formed with a recess, groove, or hole to receive the correspondingly-shaped arm of a lever which alone holds the parts together. As shown in Fig. 1, a socket 3, perferably attached by a cranked arm 4 to the side-car chassis, receives a parallel or tapered stud 1 provided with a circumferential groove 7 for engagement by the U-shaped slot 12 in the arm of a lever 8. The walls of the gioove may converge and the edges of the slot be made taper to correspond. For locking the lever in its operative position, a spring-pressed pin 14 may be slidably mounted in guides 15 to engage a hole or depression 16 in the lever, the pin being provided with an arm 18 to bear against an inclined or helical surface 19. When the parts are engaged, the face 21 of the socket abuts against the half-clip portion 2 carrying the stud. The groove 7 or the like may be some distance from the outer end of the stud, the socket being apertured for the lever arm to pass through. The groove may be replaced by a tapered hole to receive a tapered pin on the lever, and the spring-pressed pin 14 may be dispensed with and the lever held in its operative position by a coil spring at the fulcrum. An extension 13 on the lever serves as a hand-grip.

Abstract: 9088. Soc. E. Barbet et fils et Cie. April 12, 1913, [Convention date]. Hydrocarbon oils &c., distilling; progressive evaporators. - Apparatus for the continuous fractional distillation of petroleum, benzene, &c. by passage through a series of bulk evaporators, maintained at successively increasing temperatures and under the same pressure, is so arranged that the vapours generated in an evaporator working at a. higher temperature are employed for heati n g the evaporator working at the next lower temperature, the vapours being made to circulate below the evaporator heated by them in the opposite direction to that taken by the liquid circulating in that evaporator. Superposed evaporators constructed in the manner indicated in Fig. 2 may be used. These evaporators are constructed with double bottoms formed of dished plates d. The vapours from the evaporator below enter the double bottom by a. hooded inlet f, and the condensate collects at the periphery and flows away by a pipe 4. The evaporator and its double bottom are divided into quadrants by partitions m, p, q, &c. formed with apertures .s, t, &c. and u, w, &c. for the flow of liquid and vapour in clockwise and counter - clockwise directions respectively. A complete form of the apparatus, shown in Fig. 1, comprises three superposed boilers B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, the boilers B<1>, B<2> being of the construction previously described, and the boiler B<3> being directly heated. The crude petroleum is preheated in the cooler A and passes through the still B<1>, heater C, still B<2>, and still B<3> insuccession. The condensates and the uncondensed vapours from the double bottoms of the stills B<2>, B<1> are led by pipes 5, 11 and 4, 10 to the coolers L, Hand flow away through test-glasses k<5>, k<4> as shown. The vapours from the still B' are led to a fractionating-column D and are there separated into two liquid fractions, leaving by pipes 2, 3, and a vaporous fraction which passes to the usual arrangement of condensers A, E yielding a liquid fraction emerging by a pipe 1. In the distillation of petroleum, fractions boiling at 60-350‹ C. are collected, those boiling at 60-200‹ C. being distilled in an apparatus working at atmospheric pressure, and those boiling at 200-350‹ C. being obtained in apparatus working at reduced pressure to avoid cracking.
