Filed: 1913-03-29
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 7494. Jaubert, G. F. April 30, 1912, [Convention date]. Hydrogen is prepared by the action of a concentrated solution of an alkaline hydrate on silicon, aluminium, or one of their alloys with iron or manganese, the apparent density of the mixture being diminished by the addition of an appropriate emulsifying-substance, and the concentration of the reaction mass being maintained constant by gradually replacing the water that disappears. Suitable emulsifying- agents are paraffin, vaseline, or non-saponifying fat, for instance consistent grease, and high boiling-point petroleum residua. In an example, a concentrated solution of commercial caustic soda is. formed in a generator, the temperature being raised to 100‹ C., and a small quantity of paraffin is added. The agitator is started so as to emulsify the mass, and then the powdered silicon or alloy is added with continuous rapid agitation. The whole mass is transformed into a light froth, the silicon &c. being suspended therein, and a regular discharge of hydrogen results.

Abstract: 9729. McGregor, J. A. Kennedy-. April 2.5. [Addition to 22,935/12.] Moving and changing apparatus; reel and web apparatus.-An apparatus for displaying advertisements &c., in which an automaticallycontrolled actuating-element is employed, is provided with means, such as a compressed-air reservoir, for effecting a quick movement of the display device. As the speed of the governor d, Fig. 1, increases, it draws back the part f and thereby the escapement-valve c of the actuating- pump a is closed, and, immediately afterwards, the valve of the compressed air reservoir h is opened so as to communicate with the pipe b and the advertising element. The pump a is driven by the prime mover, for example a vehicle wheel, and forces air into the reservoir h. When the speed of the governor d falls, the part f is forced to the right, the valve j is closed, and the escape valve c is opened again. A pneumatic governor-pump p, Fig. 2, may be employed. In that case, as the speed increases, more air is forced into the chamber q by the pump p than can escape at the valve t, and the piston r rises against the spring u until the escape valve s is closed; the valve x is then opened against its spring y, and the compressed air in a reservoir v operates the advertising element by way of the pipe n. The actuating- pump m forces air into the reservoir v, and, when the speed decreases, the air, escaping at the valve t, allows the piston r to descend, closes the valve x, and then opens the escape valve .s. Safety-valves may be provided. Specification 25,944/12 is referred to.
