Title: A New or Improved Process for the Manufacture of Explosive Oils containing Nitroglycerine.
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
Filed: 1907-09-23
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 21,117. Haddan, H. J., [Lehmann, J. F.]. Sept. 23. Glycerides.-Explosive oils of low freezing-point are manufactured by mixing glycerine with approximately one - sixth or one - fifth of its weight of water or aqueous hydrochloric acid, passing a stream of gaseous hydrochloric acid through the liquid at about 100‹ C., adding a further quantity of glycerine, and subjecting the whole to a temperature of 110‹ C. for 20-24 hours, with subsequent nitration. The process may be modified by treating undiluted glycerine with gaseous hydrochloric acid and then condensing the same at about 150‹ C. The freezmg-point of the resultant oil obtained as above depends on the length of time during which the glycerine is treated with hydrochloric acid.

Abstract: 23,148. Johnson & Phillips, and Tubbs, C. F. Oct. 19. Arc lamps. - Pairs of mineralized carbons, in each of which the upper one rests on a stop and is fed by gravity, are arranged in series, the unequal consumption of different pairs being automatically compensated for. The carbon-holders b, g of each pair are connected by a cord e passing over a pulley f carried by a rocking-frame h. In the twin-arc lamp shown, the rocking-frames h are pivoted to a series solenoid core m, or to arms s projecting therefrom, and also to links p suspended from a ring q which is mounted on trunnions r so as to turn with some friction. Each stop o consists of a copper casting with an aperture a little smaller than the upper carbons, and has beat-radiating fins. The solenoid and core serve also as a dash pot. By fixing the ring q, the lamp can be used with one pair of carbons. When three pairs of carbons are used, the vertical links p are pivoted to three equidistant arms of a frame which is supported by a ball-and-socket joint placed centrally over the solenoid. In a lamp having four pairs of carbons, the links p are pivoted to the ends of two horizontal equalizing levers, which are pivoted centrally to a ring mounted on trunnions.

Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 28,033. Saunders, M. Dec. 24. Brakes; driving - mechanism. - In three-speed gears for cycles, of the kind employing a simple and a compound epicyclic train with a common planet-pinion carrier which forms the driving-member, the planet-pinions of the two trains are geared to separate annular wheels, each of which is connected to the hub shell by a one-way clutch. In the compound train, the planet-pinions E of two sets of intermeshing planet-pinions gear with the internal wheel F, while the pinions E<1> mesh with the sun-wheel G, which may be formed on some non-rotating part or may be prevented from backward rotation upon the axle by such means as a one-way clutch. The planet-pinions E<2> of the simple train gear with an internal wheel F<1> and with a controllable sun-wheel G', the gear changes being effected by locking this train, by allowing the sun-wheel to run freely, and by locking it to a stationary part. As shown, these results are obtained by the use of a sliding clutch-piece L carried by the sun-wheel sleeve. In a modification, which may be used with back-pedalling brake mechanism such as that described in Specification No. 7463, A.D. 1907, the simple train is arranged the nearer to the sprocket-wheel, when, to permit backward-wheeling of the machine on every speed without application of the brake, means may be provided to prevent the internal wheel F<1> of the simple train from being turned backwards on backward-wheeling before the other internal wheel F is turned. For this purpose, the clutch member K<1> may have one or more projections engaging with play in gaps or spaces in a flange carried by the internal wheel F<1>, a spring connected to the wheel and to the clutch member tending to keep the front end of the projection up against the front edge of the slot or gap in the flange. By this means, on backward-wheeling of the machine, before the internal wheel F<1> is turned backwards the brake-clutch rollers have been taken out of action by the backward rotation of the clutch member interposed between the clutch K and the internal wheel F as described in the abovementioned Specification.
