Filed: 1922-01-16
Abstract: 196,085. Grenfell, G. P., and Robinson, J. Jan. 16,1922. Bearings, determining. - Approximate determinations of bearings may be made with ordinary receiving apparatus operating in conjunction with a transmitting station employing a rotating directional beam, the radiation being given distinctive characteristics only when it is in the direction of two or more cardinal points, which may, for example, be at 90‹ apart. The rotating beam itself may be given distinctive signals when directed on the cardinal points, or a separate non-directive aerial may be employed which emits distinctive signals in all directions only at the instants when the rotating beam is directed upon cardinal points. In come cases the rotating beam may be omitted, the system transmitting distinctive signals successively only in the direction of cardinal points. The bearings of a receiving station are estimated by observing time intervals or relative intensities. The distinctive characteristics may be given by means of different Morse signals or by changes in frequency, &c., the changes being made periodically and automatically, for example, by a commutator or a periodically-varied capacity controlled by the rotating system. Changes in capacity may also be effected by providing stationary conductors in certain positions in proximity to the rotating aerial. Specifications 135,896, 144,628 and 189,266 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in a method and apparatus for drawing fibres from a viscous substance
IPC: C03B37/022
Filed: 1937-01-18
Abstract: 475,384. Making glass wool and slagwool. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP MAATSCHAPPIJ TOT BEHEER EN EXPLOITATIE VAN OCTROOIEN. Jan. 18, 1937, No. 1469. Convention date, Jan. 17, 1936. [Class 56] [Also in Group V] Relates to a method of making fibres from viscous material, particularly glass, in which a stream of molten material is drawn into fine fibres by a blast of gas which envelops the stream, as described in Specification 428,720. According to the present invention, the blast of gas is directed along one side only of the stream of molten material, and the fibres as they are formed and while still plastic are directed along a curved surface to produce curled fibres. The molten glass 11 flows from the furnace through openings 24 in a platinum thimble 18, a blower assembly 26 being situated below the openings and substantially in line with the stream of glass. The blower comprises a number of downwardly-directed nipples 30 which are supplied with superheated steam or other gas under pressure. The steam is blown downwards and to one side of the stream of flowing material, and the material is held against the blast by induced air currents. A sheet metal shield 50 may extend clownwards from the lower part of the blower, and the surface of the shield may be curved. The stream of material, as it is blown into fibres, is forced to flow along the surface of the shield, and the fibres, which become solidified during their movement along the shield, are curled and become intertwined to form a mat. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also describes a construction in which streams of gas are directed along both sides of the flowing material, and baffle plates are arranged in the path of the flowing stream to cause the fibres to move in a sinuous path. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 229,827. Ferguson, T., Johnstone, J. R., and Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd. Jan. 19, 1924. Regulation, automatic; systems of charging batteries.-A variable speed generator 1, Fig. 1, such as used for railway lighting systems, supplies a constant, voltage load 5 through a rheostat 6, which is automatically adjusted according to the voltage across the generator as determined by a voltage solenoid 8. The voltage of the dynamo is also regulated by the automatic operation of a field rheostat 7 actuated independently by the solenoid 8 and by another solenoid 9 subjected to the charging current of a battery 4. Energization of the solenoid 8 lifts a core 16, Fig. 3, attached to a lever 18, the ends 23, 25 of which are constrained in guides 21, 22. At first, the end 23 lifts operating the rheostat 6, and the end 25 slides horizontally without any action on the rheostat 7. After the full value of the rheostat 6 has been reached, the end 23 slides horizontally and the end 23 begins to lift, swinging another lever 19 about its slotted end 24, and lifting a slotted member 26, which operates the rheostat 7. Energization of the solenoid 9 lifts a core 17 and swings the lever 19 about its end 25 thereby operating the member 26 and rheostat 7 independently of the solenoid 8. One terminal of the generator instead of being connected to the conductor that leads direct to the lamps 5, may be connected to an intermediate point of the solenoid 9 so that this solenoid is energized in accordance with the difference between the load and battery currents. A switch 13, which is closed when the lamps are switched on, connects part of a resistance 10, which is in series with the solenoid 8, in parallel with the rheostat 6. The rheostats 6, 7 may be of the type described in Specification 26646/13.
