Inventor: DEVAL WILLIAM
IPC: G01N25/54
Filed: 1911-02-01
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 2590. Deval, W. Feb. 1. Explosive gases, detecting. -Apparatus for testing the atmosphere of coal mines comprises a water-jacketed cylinder a, having inlet and outlet valves d, e flush with the inner face of the cover to avoid clearance, and a piston b held against movement under the action of an explosion by a ratchet m and pawl n or like means. A charge of gas is obtained in a bag having one or more cocks. The bag is attached at f to the cylinder and the piston is moved, through the wheel l, pinion j, and rack i, to draw the gas into the cylinder. An electric spark is then produced in the cylinder ; if no explosion occurs, the piston b is moved inwards to compress the gas until the spark produces an explosion. The burnt gas passes through the valve e to a pipe preferably opening under water. The compression required to obtain an explosion is noted from the scale p and indicates the explosive condition of the gas. The piston may, as an alternative, be moved through a crank and connecting-rod. A number of bags may be used for different parts of the mine. By means of the water jacket, the temperature of the mine workings may be reproduced.

Title: Improvements in Chain-grates.
Inventor: RADEMACHER JOHANN
IPC: F23H11/04
Filed: 1911-09-27
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 21,358. Rademacher, J. Sept. 29, 1910, [Convention date]. Grates.-In a chain grate of the type in which the bars are arranged longitudinally and supported by transverse bearers carried by the side chains, the bars are adapted to be inserted in position by a longitudinal movement, and in addition, in one modification, the bars may turn on their supports and hang down on the return or lower path so as not to impede the passage of air or the fall of ashes. As shown in Fig. 1, the grate bars R are hooked on to bearers Q<1>, and in the upper part of the grate are also supported by bearers Q<2> which hold the bars in place. The upper flanges of the bearers Q<1> and the lugs L of the bars are so shaped that the bars may rotate and may hang down as shown in the lower part of the grate. To prevent the bars from becoming detached when passing over the rear drum S<2>, a guide-wall B is provided against which bear the free ends of the bars. Guards f attached to the bearers Q<2> serve to keep the ashes from the lower grate bars. In the case of grate bars having engaging lateral projections as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the lateral ribs are so inclined that each bar can rotate independently of the adjacent bar. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the bars R are each supported by two bearers Q which engage with lugs L<1>, L<2> on the bars. The bars are secured by cross-pieces P on the intermediate links of the chain and when passing over the rear drum S<2> the bars are held in position by ribs U on the drum. When passing over the front drum, the bars are unlocked, a gap being formed between them which enables them to be readily removed or inserted. In the case of bars having lateral projections, the side bar is first removed and the adjacent bar or bars shifted laterally to free the projections of any bar that it is desired to remove.

Patent GB-191203966-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for the Operation of Electrical Clocks by Electric Waves.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER FERDINAND
IPC: G04R20/00
Filed: 1912-02-16
Granted: 1912-10-03
Abstract: 3966. Schneider, F. Feb. 16. Electric clocks.-In apparatus for the operation of a system of clocks by electro-magnetic waves, the receiver, which is controlled by waves emitted by a transmitter operated by a standard clock, is designed to possess great sensitiveness, and comprises a coherer in circuit with a secondary electric clock and an independently-driven clock which periodically effects decoherence. Normally, a circuit through the coherer 48, a secondary clock 43, and an electromagnet 37 is closed, and, the armature 30 being attracted, a pivoted stop-lever 27, 26 is held away from the balance 24 of a clock C. A wheel 16 in the clock-train has a series of pins 17 on its face. and when one of these pins has raised and let fall a hammer 19, the hammer either directly or indirectly operates a clapper 52, which strikes the coherer-tube 48, shaking up the powder therein and also breaking the circuit at auxiliary contacts on which one end of the pivoted tube rests. The armature 30 is thereupon released, and the clock C is stopped by the arm 26. This is timed to occur just before the receipt of a wave impulse, and when the waves arrive, the coherer-circuit is again closed, advancing the secondary clock 43 and releasing the balance of the clock C by means of the armature 30. The coherer must be so constructed as to endure a continued passage of current, and to this end comprises two tubular electrodes 85, 86, Fig. 4, separated from each other by a perforated mica disk 87 of small thickness. The disk is perforated eccentrically, preferably with one or more countersunk or knife-edged holes, so that the sensitiveness can be adjusted by rotating the coherer about its longitudinal axis. Instead of stopping and starting the clock C by means of a special electro-magnet 37, the stop-lever 27, 26 may be connected to the armature 114 of the secondary clock 43, as shown in Fig. 8. Other secondary clocks may be actuated by the movement of the armature 30 between contacts 32, 33, Fig. 1. In the arrangement illustrated, the decohering-clock is driven by an automatically-wound short spring in a barrel 15, and its action is as follows : When the hammer 19 falls, it strikes a detent 53, Fig. 2, thereby releasing a spring-pressed contact-lever 55, and the circuit of an electro-magnet 3, 4 is closed through pivoted contacts 55, 59, 63 and a spark-preventing resistance 76. The armature 5 is thus attracted, winding up the driving-spring of the clock through a rod 8 and a pawl and ratchet 9, 12. At the same time, a projection 10 on the rod 8 depresses the clapper-spring 52. The circuit of the electromagnet 3, 4 is broken when a tappet 69 lifts the lever 55, whereupon the armature is turned by a spring 6, and the projection 10 is raised, allowing the clapper 52 to spring upwards and strike the coherer.

Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 6305. Baum, M. March 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Automatic exchange systems and apparatus.- In an impulse transmitter in which the desired number is first set up and the transmitting- mechanism then operated, and in which the call can be repeated without re-setting, each digitindicator controls the position of a stop limiting the movement of a subsequently operated lever, thereby determining the number of impulses sent for that digit. The number-cylinders b are set to show the number required through the openings in the front of the casing and in doing so each notched cam e moves the corresponding pin f, the attached rod g, and the abutment l a distance to the left proportional to the numeral shown. Over each of the abutments is the arm u, formed as a stepped rack, of a lever m, the ends of these levers resting on a number of disks s<1> ... s<5> mounted on a common axle r. Each of these disks is formed with a recess, one side of which is stepped and the other smooth, as shown, and the recesses on neighbouring disks are relatively displaced a distance equal to the length of one recess. The shaft r is arranged to be driven at a suitable speed by electromagnets, springs, weights, &c., for one revolution, and is released when the receiver is taken off. This causes each of the levers m in turn to fall down in steps under the influence of the spring t, until it is stopped by its abutment l, and then to be raised gradually to its upper position again. The lower arms of all the levers m rest against an arm on the segment o, and in their descent cause it to rock; the rack on the segment o then causes the lever p to vibrate between the contacts y and qu and so send the correct number of current impulses. The lever p is provided with a pivoted pawl w which allows the rack o to descend idly.
