Granted: 1915-01-14
Abstract: 9046. Wierusz, J. von Kowalski-. April 9. Spark lamps.-Ultra-violet rays for sterilizing, effecting chemical reactions, or other purposes are produced by " damped " spark discharge of a large electric current alternating with a frequency corresponding to an electro-magnetic wave-length of less than 3000 metres. Damping may be effected by injecting gas into the spark-gap, or by using electrodes of particular materials. Nickel, cobalt, tungsten, vanadium, iron, zinc, cadmium, aluminium, magnesium, manganese, or alloys of these, especially with rare - earth metals, are suitable. Zirconium, tungsten, and molybdenum may be used in an inert gas, such as hydrogen or nitrogen. Materials which do not readily disintegrate, such as the nickel-steel alloy "invar," are also advantageous. The two electrodes may be of different materials. A silica or other partition may be placed between the spark-gap and the substance treated when the substance must not be exposed to nitrogen oxides. Water to be sterilized may be passed through an open channel beneath a row of naked spark-gaps. The electrodes may also be immersed in the liquid to be treated. A nickel spark-gap may utilize 2 kilowatts.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Bronzing Machines.
Inventor: WADE HAROLD
IPC: B41G1/00
Filed: 1914-06-12
Granted: 1915-01-28
Abstract: 14,237. Wade, H., [Ford, A. J.]. June 12. Bronzing. - A bronzing - machine includes means for applying a drying-powder such as magnesia, talcum, soapstone, French chalk, or powdered mica, to the sheet after the bronze has been applied thereto and the surface partly dusted; the bronze is also returned to the distributor and then automatically and intermittently fed to an intermittently rotated bronzing-roller. The machine consists of the usual gripper cylinder 1 with a plush-covered bronzing-roller 32 intermittently rotated in timed relation with the sheet-feeding device by the usual ratchet-wheel and pawl with connecting-levers operated by a cam on the grippercylinder shaft. The sheet then passes the usual burnishing-pads 4, roll 5, and dusting-roll 6, and then has the drying-powder applied by plushcovered rolls 9, 10 within a trough 7 provided with a lid 8 and a scraper 11. The sheet is again dusted by cotton disk rolls 19, then drawn forward by a felt covered friction roll 20 after which it is released from the grippers 2 and is grasped by grippers 21 on an auxiliary cylinder 22 to which the sheet is transferred with the reverse side out. The sheet is finally dusted by rolls 23, and then delivered by a rubber covered roll 24. The mixture of bronze and drying-powder is elevated by a fan 27 through a pipe 28 into a distributor 29, which has a helical screw 33 to distribute the powder evenly along a slit roller or feed-device 35 which receives a charge and then dumps it on to the bronzing-roller 32. This feed-device 35 in intermittently rotated from the shaft of the distributing-screw 33 by four units of stop-reducing gearing, eacli unit comprising a driving-wheel 44 having a single tooth-engaging notch with a pin 46 on each side, and a driven pinion 45 having alternate full-width and half-width teeth, four of each. Each driven pinion 45 in locked position rides with two full-width teeth on the periphery of its driving-wheel 44 and with the intermediate half-width tooth in the path of the pins 46. Thus as each wheel 44 engages its pinion 45, this is rotated into its next locked position through an angle of 90 degrees. In three of the four positions of the feed-roller 35, the gap at the bottom of the distributor is closed.

Abstract: 15,185. Bergasse, P. H. June 24. Fixed-abutment type; working-fluid supply; packing vanes.-Relates to a rotary internalcombustion engine in which two independent charges of fuel are successively induced and compressed in order to provide a single explosive charge. One form of the engine comprises three cylinders 2, 2<a>, 2<b> having their piston drums 4 mounted on a common shaft 6 and co-operating with a common compression chamber 29. Each drum 4 carries an outwardly-sliding vane 5 comprising a number of plates 10, which are pressed outwards by the springs 12, 14 and have packing 16 and interspaces 11 for lubricating passages. Each cylinder is provided with two distributing-valves 20, 21 which are driven at one-third the speed of the engine shaft, and connect at the proper times the inlet and outlet passages 26, 27 of the cylinder with the suction and exhaust passages 25, 32. The engine cycle is completed in three revolutions of the piston; the first revolution induces a charge on one side of the vane and discharges exhaust gases on the other side, the second revolution induces a second charge and compresses the first charge into the chamber 29 through a port 20<a> in the valve 20, and in the third revolution a compressed charge from the chamber 29 is admitted to the cylinder by a port 21<a> in the valve 21 and fired by a plug 33, while the second induced charge is compressed on the other side of the vane into the chamber 29. The piston vanes in the three cylinders are arranged at angles with one another and co-operate with the common compression chamber 29. A chain-driven rotary pump 34 delivers lubricant through pipes 37, 38 to the journals 39 and the drum cavities 9, which feed the vane interspaces 11. Specification 19,252/13 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Systems of Overhead Haulage.
Inventor: HAIR THOMAS ALFRED
IPC: E21F13/04
Filed: 1914-07-04
Granted: 1915-04-15
Abstract: 16,022. Hair, T. A., and Bowman, J. July 4. Rope grips. - In mines where the haulage rope is disengaged from tubs &c. in order to allow the tub haulage forks to clear obstructions such as guide-pulleys at bends, or where the transmission is arranged in independent sections, an overhead track rail is employed, bearing carriages having projecting brackets adapted to engage the haulage forks on the tubs and maintain them in position ready for automatic reinsertion of the rope after the obstruction is passed. The arrangement at a bend is shown in plan and elevation in Figs. 1 and 2, and a carriage is shown in Fig. 4. On either side of the guide-pulley c, around which the haulage rope b passes, extends an endless rail d, this being upwardly inclined, parallel to the main track a, along a portion d<1>, d<2> at the end where the tubs approach it. It slopes downwards from d<2> to d<3>, upwards and downwards, parallel to the track, from d<3> to d<4> and d<4> to d<5> respectively, and upwards from d<5> to d<6>, where the tubs recede. The return portion from d<6> to d<1> may be horizontal. The L-shaped carriages g, Fig. 4, have projections j, k of unequal depths. At the point d<2>, Fig. 2, the lower part of the member j is struck by the pivoted part m, Fig. 4, of the haulage fork of an approaching tub, and as the carriage is moved forward by the tub, it is towered so as to embrace the fork between the members j, k. A pulley n, Fig. 2, lifts the rope positively from the fork. Beyond the obstruction c, a pulley p reinserts the rope in the fork, and at the point d<5>, the carriage begins to ascend, leaving the fork free. The pulley p is carried by a counterweighted linkage q, t, v, one member u of which is struck by the oncoming tub to ensure depression of the rope into the fork. To ensure a carriage being always ready at the point d<2>, for each advancing tub, two carriages may be coupled together at the correct distance apart by an endless rope, in which case the tubs must be separated by not less than the length of the rail d. For closer tub-spacing, the carriages may be controlled by an endless band w passing around pulleys y and having carriers z to engage projections 2, Fig. 4, on the carriages. The band is driven from the guide-pulley c by a bevel transmission 3, 5, 7 and sprocket-wheel @ with an interposed clutch 11, counterweighted at 10 so as normally to convey the drive to the sprocket-wheel and thus cause a carriage to approach the point d<2>. When the carriage arrives, its impact on the striker 8 disconnects the clutch 11, leaving the carriage ready for the next approaching tub. The bevel and clutch transmission may be replaced by a driving-belt with fast and loose pulleys.
