Title: Improvements in or relating to Sound Producing Devices for use in Submarine Signalling.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: G10K1/068
Filed: 1911-03-04
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 5489. Lake, W. E., [Submarine Signal Co.). March 4. Marine bell and like signalling.-A signalling bell of the type described in Specification 262/08 is arranged so that each impulse of the pressure fluid causes one stroke of the bell when the impulse is given and another when the pressure is relieved, the actuation of the bell clapper being obtained from two motor diaphragms operated by valves alternating in their action. Fig. 1 shows a part sectional elevation of the bell. The bell B is attached by two half-collars B<2> to the underside of the lower casing A, which forms an annular fluid-pressure reservoir A<2> for supplying the motors. The upper casing A, mounted on the lower A<1>, contains the operating-mechanism and forms an exhaust chamber. The bell clapper C is pivoted at C<1>, and has a rearward extension pivoted at E<1> to the cross-head E, the ends of which are secured to the two diaphragms mounted to form the flexible and operating motor faces of the diaphragm chambers F<1>, G<1>. The fluid-pressure supply from the distant operator, whether code or intermittent, enters the case at a<2> and passes by a pipe a<4> to the auxiliary diaphragm J or to the annular reservoir A<2> by a pipe a<6>. The diaphragm J is connected to a rocking beam H so as to move this by fluid pressure in one direction while a spring H<2> is provided to return the beam when the fluid-pressure impulse is relieved. The Provisional Specification also refers to the use of two auxiliary diaphragms acting alternately, and it is stated that the beam may be operated in a number of ways. Jointed rods h depend from the ends of the beam and are connected at their lower ends to recessed valve slides f<4>, g<4>, which carry spring- supported valve heads f<3>, g<3>, the spring action of the valve head allowing the slide to move sufficiently to open the exhaust h<4> when the valve is closed. In the position shown, the supply is open in the valve f<3> and the exhaust is open at g<6>. The case is rendered water-tight by a conical flexible sleeve C<3> secured at its upper end to the clapper and at its lower end to the bell mounting. The case C<3> is formed with a number of wire rings moulded in it so as to limit its radial expansion without affecting its flexibility.

IPC: C08G8/28
Filed: 1911-11-21
Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 26,029. Aylesworth, J. W. March 11, [Convention date]. Impregnating-compositions; coating-materials; coating-compositions. - Phenol - formaldehyde condensation products which are infusible are produced by treating a fusible phenol formaldehyde or similar condensation product with formaldehyde or other like methylene-containing substance in the gaseous condition. The fusible parent resin is preferably anhydrous and free from uncombined formaldehyde and any appreciable quantity of free phenol. With the fusible product, prior to treatment with gaseous formaldehyde &c., may be mixed agents such as anthracene, tetrachlorphenylene oxide, higher chlornaphthalenes, eugenol, oil of cloves, amyl alcohol, anisol, chlorphenols, chlorcresols, naphthalene, amines, nitronaphthalenes, benzene derivatives such as m-dinitrobenzene, stearic, ricinoleic, and ricinelaidic acids, and their anhydrides, and other substances described in Specifications 3496/11, 3498/11, [both in Class 70, India - rubber &c.], and 9559/11. By this means products are obtained on hardening, which though infusible are plastic when hot, and in some cases also when cold. Articles such as wood, fabric, electrical coils or armatures may be coated or impregnated, as the case may be, by treatment with the fusible resin by dipping or by vacuum and pressure treatment, and then being placed in an air-tight chamber into which formaldehyde vapour is passed under increased pressure or not. The treatment with formaldehyde may be carried out at a temperature below the hardening temperature, and the temperature then raised. Oxygen should preferably be removed from the vessel prior to the reaction.

Abstract: 399. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Jan. 5. Magnetic speed indicators. - Speed is indicated at a distance by connecting a spring- controlled transmitter of an electric signalling- apparatus, such as that described in Specification 16,450/03, [Class 118, Signalling &c.], with the primary shaft through an eddycurrent disk instrument. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the primary shaft a carries a series of magnets m exerting a drag upon a disk t connected by reducing-gearing with the spindle of the transmitter g, the motion of which is resisted by springs f. To vary the rotational effect, the disk may be moved towards or away from the magnets, either by means of the screw d or automatically by temperature-responsive means. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the magnets m are stationary and the magnetic drag upon the disk s is effected by masses i on a disk h secured to the shaft a. The speed at the transmitting- station may be ascertained by means of a series of resonance reeds z, Fig. 1, vibrated by the passing magnets or by the apparatus itself.
