Title: Method and Means for the Protection of Electrical Apparatus Branched on Circuits which are Traversed (Accidentally or otherwise) by Currents of High Frequency
Inventor: GAIFFE GEORGES EUGENE
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 29,337. Gaiffe, G. E. Dec. 31. Lightning-arresters.-Coils of high inductance but small resistance are connected in series with apparatus liable to be traversed by high-frequency currents, and a capacity is connected in parallel with the protected apparatus. The arrangement is shown in Fig. 2 mounted on a board or box c. The coil A to be protected is connected between coils b, b<1> of low resistance but high inductance, the other ends of the coils b, b<1> being connected to the mains L, L<1> and also to a condenser a. High frequency currents that may arise are thus prevented from passing through the coil A. The connections for three coils A, A', A<3> in a polyphase system are shown in Fig. 3. Condensers a', a<2>, a<3> are connected in parallel with the coils A, A', A<3>, and the inductances b<1>, b<2>, b<3> are connected so that each of the protected coils is in series with two of the inductances. The mains L', L', L<3> are connected to the condensers and inductances as shown.

Title: An Improved Machine for Applying and Expanding the End Flanges of Metal Pipes
Inventor: LOVEKIN LUTHER DANIEL
Filed: 1905-02-07
Granted: 1906-02-07
Abstract: 2439. Lovokin, L. D. Feb. 7. Flanging. - Relates to a machine for applying and expanding the end flanges of metal pipes of large diameter. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of the machine, and Fig. 2 an enlarged view of the left-hand half of Fig. 1. The expanding and flaring tool 4 is mounted in a headstock 3, and is rotated by worm gearing 9, 10. The headstock and expanding - tool are reciprocated by the power shaft 13, clutch 17, bevel gearing 15, 16, 21, shaft 22, pinions 23, and screwed shaft 24, as shown in Figs. 2 and 6. The friction clutch 17 is operated by the rock-shaft 19 and hand-wheel 20. The feed-shaft may also be worked independently by a worm mounted on the shaft 24<b>, Fig. 9, one end of which is pivoted in a fixed bearing while the other end is journalled in a bearing adjustable vertically. The mandrel, Figs. 2 and 19, keyed to the shaft 8, carries a head-portion 61 containing the expanding-rollers 67 and flaring-rollers 72. To spread the rollers 67, 72, conical rollers 68, 73 on hollow shafts 70, 97, which are attached by cross-bars 81, 76 passing through slots in the mandrel, and threaded to engage the corresponding threads of the brake pulleys 82, 77, are moved horizontally in either direction by braking either or both of the wheels 82, 77 by hand-operated band brakes. Each cross-bar 76, 81 carries a pointer which indicates on the scale 87 the position of the rollers. Pivoted springs 75 keep the flaring-rollers within the mandrel when they are not being used. A radial cutting-tool can be fixed by a set screw in the end of the mandrel to trim off the edge of the expanded pipe. During the flanging operation, the pipe rests on adjustable rollers 57 on a bed-plate 2, and is forced into the flange by a disc 7 of a hydraulic cylinder 6, which is also adjustable on the bedplate. The flange and pipe clamping-devices are shown in rear elevation in Fig. 13. The flange F is held in a bushing E by clamps H, Fig. 2, both of which are secured in a casing 5 consisting of two hinged parts bolted together. To prevent the pipe from rotating, it is held in jaws I pivoted to hinged arms J, which are moved simultaneously by means of screws K, pinions M, N, and the shaft 0.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Elastic-fluid Turbines
Inventor: JUNGGREN OSCAR
Filed: 1906-04-06
Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 8357. Junggren, O. April 8. 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Governing-mechanism for parallel, inward, or combined flow turbines, adapted to supply steam or other elastic fluid at both normal loads and over-loads, is shown in Fig. 1. The turbine has one wheel per stage and the main admission nozzles 9 are controlled by governorregulated valves 13, and similar valves may be fitted to the stage nozzles. Overload nozzles 22 are provided in one or more stages and are brought into action by valves 26, which are successively operated by the governor as the load increases. The overload nozzles have a greater expansion ratio than the main admission nozzles in order that the steam introduced at these nozzles shall be expanded down to the pressures in various stages, so as to avoid back pressure in the preceding stages. The superfluous velocity produced by these nozzles produces some superheating effect in each stage as the steam comes from the wheel. A modification is adapted for a turbine on an horizontal shaft, and the turbine casing is also fitted with a device for allowing condensation water to be blown from stage to stage. A collecting-chamber is fitted underneath the turbine casing and is divided by partitions corresponding to the stage partitions. A long slide valve controls passages in the partitions, and by manipulating the valve condensation water can be blown from stage to stage. Another modification has the overload passages formed in the turbine casing instead of there being external pipes.

Abstract: 12,223. Haddan, H. J., [Aktiebolaget Separator] . May 25. Hydro-extractors.-Relates to means for preventing the choking of the liquid exits in centrifugal separators for drying grain, sugar, crystalline salts, &c. To effect this, the sides of the exits are caused to move relatively to each other or scrapers work through them. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a conical drum a is provided with annular outlets b in which are arranged rings c connected by ribs d to a plate e mounted on a shaft f within the hollow shaft g of the drum a. The two shafts f, g rotate at different speeds, or one has an axial motion relatively to the other, in which case the openings b may be made narrow enough to prevent the escape of solids and the rings c pass entirely out of them. The openings b may be made narrow and revolving scrapers substituted for the rings c. This construction may be applied to a stationary drum with helical blades revolving inside. Fig. 4 shows the invention applied to a drum with curved plates formed of sections h attached to the top and bottom plates i, k of the drum and sections l reciprocating through slots p. Reciprocating scrapers in narrow slots may be substituted for the sections l. Fig. 9 shows a form with pins 7 reciprocating through holes 6.

Ethyl-1 : 3-diaminonaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid thus obtained, on treatment with methyl-alcoholic potash, yields a potassium salt, on acidifying which 1 : 3 diaminonaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid is obtained ; on heating this body yields 1 : 3 diaminonaphthalene. The production of 1 : 3- diamino-2-phenylnaphthalene is described in an example. 1 : 3-derivatives may be obtained similarly from bodies of the type Cyanamino compounds.-The parent bodies used in the above process are prepared by condensing two molecules of an aromatic compound containing a cyanogen group, or one molecule of such a compound with another cyanogen compound. According to examples, # -imino-alpha-cyan-alphagamma-diphenylpropane is obtained by the action of sodium dissolved in alcohol, ether, or xylene, on benzyl cyanide ; cyaniminotolylethane is obtained by the action of sodium dissolved in xylene on tolunitrile and acetonitrile. The production of ethyl-a-cyan-#- imino-gamma-phenyl-n-butyrate from ethylsodiocyanacetate and benzyl cyanide is also described.
