Patent GB-190813854-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in X-ray System
Inventor: SNOOK HOMER CLYDE
Filed: 1908-06-30
Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 13,854. Snook, H. C. July 20, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Switches; converting alternating and direct currents.-In an X-ray system for producing very intense rays with a maximum efficiency of conversion, and for preventing inverse discharges in the X-ray tube, a high-tension alternating current from a transformer T, Fig. 1, is converted by a rotary rectifier E, which sends all the current waves through the tube X and all in the same direction. A starting-box controls a source G of alternating or fluctuating current, which is connected through a reversing-switch A (reversed by band if the discharge in the tube X is found to be in the wrong direction) to the transformer T, which preferably has small magnetic leakage. An arm a throws in more or fewer turns of the primary, and an arm b allows regulation of the primary circuit by means of an inductive or non-inductive resistance or both. Choking-coils D in the secondary circuit prevent the high-frequency oscillations from running back to the secondary winding and puncturing the insulation. The rectifying-switch E which forms the subject of a divided application No. 23,489, A.D. 1908, is driven in synchronism with the source G by a direct or indirect mechanical connexion. The phase relationship may be altered by angular adjustment of the coupling p, Fig. 2. The switch comprises a wooden spindle J, through which pass two pairs of metallic rods r, u and t, v, at right-angles to each other. These rotate in close proximity to four pairs of conducting-arcs 3 ... 10, each subtending slightly less than 90 degress, heavy insulating-screens x, y, z being provided. The arcs 3, 9 are connected to the lead i, the arcs 5, 7 to the lead i<1>, the arcs 4, 6 to the lead h, and the arcs 8, 10 to the lead h<1>, the leads h, h<1> being brought up through insulating-tubes through the cover of the oil-tank I containing the transformer and reactances. The rotating crossconnectors of the switch E may be arranged in line, two of the pairs of arcs being moved round through 90 degrees, in which case five screens are required. An ammeter F, Fig. 1, is placed in the tube circuit. The current supplied to the transformer may be from an inverted rotary, or from an alternating-current generator driven by either a direct-current motor or an induction motor of different frequency. The Specification in its original form, as open to public inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), states also that the rectifying- switch, instead of being mechanically connected to the generator G, may be driven by a synchronous motor deriving its current from the generator G, or by any suitable motor with a damping or control device applied to the spindle J to prevent it from getting out of step. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 2114. Walker, F. H., and Sohn, C. E. Jan. 28. Paint vehicles.-Oil residuums, crude oils, and natural and artificial asphaltic compounds are treated with strong sulphuric acid to obtain compounds which after neutralization may be mixed with water and retain their miscibility with oil. In treating mineral-oil residuum, the substance is mixed with sulphuric acid and the mixture allowed to stand, whereupon two layers are formed, the upper one a clarified oil and the lower a tar-like mass. The lower layer is heated to 50-60‹ C. for some time, and is then agitated with water and dilute alkali. The water becomes incorporated with the mass, and a homogeneous product is obtained. The last stages of the neutralization are carried out with ammonia. Solid compounds may be dissolved in hydrocarbons before treatment with acid. The water used in making the compound may be coloured with aniline or other dyes. A paint which dries with a glossy surface is prepared by mixing the compound with boiled oil, a pigment, and a quick-drying varnish. A paint for outside work is prepared by mixing the compound with a solution of coal-tar pitch in coal tar. Glue or gum may be mixed with the compound.

Abstract: 3988. Armstrong, E. Feb. 18. Files.-Files are formed with continuous or interrupted teeth lying on curves of such form that tangents to substantially every part of them are inclined at an angle of about 45 degrees to the axis of the file, or, in the case of round or conical files, to the generating-line of the surface of the file, the curves being preferably parabolas, hyperbolas, ellipses, or curves approximating thereto. Fig. 1 shows a flat parallel file with hyperbolic teeth A, which act efficiently throughout with the exception of the parts immediately adjacent to the axis A<1>, A'; and in a similar flat file having its sides tapering, the hyperbolic form of the teeth renders it efficient quite up to the tip. The hyperbolic teeth may be interrupted at intervals by means of cross-cuts. Fig. 4 shows a half-round tapered file with similar hyperbolic teeth. A rat-tail file is also described with teeth formed on ellipses at an angle of 45 degrees to the axis, and the surface divided up into sections or not. The curves on which the teeth lie may be arranged convex with respect to the tip A<3> as in Figs. 1 and 4, or concave, or with the adjacent halves of the teeth oppositely arranged so as to give them a wavy formation. They may be asymmetrical with respect to the axis, and those on any one surface may be different, and may intersect or not. The teeth are impressed by shaped chisels, or are cut by burring, planing, milling, &c.

IPC: B28B1/52
Filed: 1909-05-22
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 12,126. Hartung, M. May 22. Processes; moulds; rolling-machines.-Relates to the manufacture of artificial stone slabs and plates of corrugated or other shapes, and preferably reinforced with wire netting, gratings, expanded metal, or the like, from an hydraulic binding-substance such as cement, and a fibrous material such as asbestos. A layer of cement and asbestos in a dough-like condition is placed in a moulding-frame f, having two flexible sides g, on a preferably waterimpermeable thin carrier b such as a sheet of imitation parchment paper. The frame f, with the carrier b, is laid either on a mould having a corrugated surface or on a corrugated metal sheet or matrix k, which is afterwards laid on the mould, and the layer of materials is pressed into the corrugations or cavities of the matrix, this operation being preferably effected by pressing one undulation after another, commencing from the middle undulation, by means of independentlyoperated dies h, Fig. 3, or rocking blocks l, Fig. 4. The reinforcing-insertion, which is preferably of expanded metal having inclined webs, and which may have been previously bent to the required shape of the slab, is then placed on the moistened surface of the pressed material. A second layer of cement and asbestos is shaped in a similar manner to the first, and, after adding an adequate amount of water, the first layer is tilted, with the insertion downwards, above the second layer by means of a supporting plate or frame, preferably consisting of parallel rods arranged at a distance apart equal to that between the corrugations, and made in two or more parts. The supporting-frame is then withdrawn, and the layers combine under pressure to form a finished slab with a reinforcing-insertion in the middle. When no reinforcing-insertions are used, the layer of materials first formed may be of such a thickness that, after being pressed into shape by means of dies or rollers, it only needs to be finally solidified in suitable moulds.
