Abstract: 152,402. Ashcroft, E. A. July 9, 1919. Electrolytic furnaces. - Fused anhydrous magnesium chloride, free or practically so from other substances, is used as electrolyte in both a primary and a secondary cell. A body of lead-magnesium. alloy may form one electrode of each cell. The cells 1, 2, Fig. 1, may be connected in series by conductors x.All their upper parts the cast-iron or other cells may be protected from the electrolyte and chlorine by a lining 13 of fire-clay or magnesite brick. Each cell supports an insulated cover 11 carrying the upper electrodes and provided with charging holes for crystalline magnesium chloride, which may be prepared as described in Specification 152,401, [Class 1 (ii), Inorganic compounds other than &c.]. For a current of 5000 amperes there may be 20 graphite anodes 9, of about 3 in. diameter, immersed 3 in. in the electrolyte and 1 in. from the surface of the alloy. Connexion may be made by conductors 14, dipping into molten lead in holes in the cover and in the anodes. In the secondary cell, the cathodes may be carried by four separate subsidiary covers 15. For each cover there may be 70 iron or steel cathode rods, 10 of # in. diameter immersed ¢ in. in the electrolyte and ¥ in. distant from the alloy. Each subsidiary cover is connected to the main cover by a flexible conductor 16. On opposite sides of each cell are inlet and outlet walls 6, 7, Fig. 3, opening into the body of the cell through passages 4, 5. A weir 8 also interposed between the main bodv of the cell and the outlet well maintains the required level of the alloy. Preferably, electrolysis is carried on for, say, six hours without disturbance of the alloy. The small covers of the secondary cell are then removed successively, and the floating masses of molten magnesium ladled out, without interrupting the current. At intervals, preferably immediately after the removal of the metal, the alloy is transferred from one cell to the other, by ladling, or by communicating passages, or otherwise. A temperature of 750‹ C. is suitable for electrolysis; preferably there is used sufficient current to maintain this temperature. Specification 26813/05 also is referred to.

Patent GB-923872-A (GB)
Title: Fluid-flow control valve
Inventor: HUNT NATHAN CHARLES
IPC: F16K31/363
Filed: 1961-05-15
Abstract: 923,872. Valves. INTERNATIONAL BASIC ECONOMY CORPORATION. May 15, 1961, No. 17616/61. Class 135. A fluid-flow control valve comprises a body 16 having a chamber 19 connected with an inlet 11 and an outlet 12, the chamber being adapted to receive interchangeable valve assemblies 24 having either a closure member 30 of the poppet or plunger type, the closure member being reciprocable by a piston 39 so as to open or close communication between the inlet and outlet. As shown in Fig. 2, the closure member is in the form of a hollow plunger 30 having a number of slots 34 in its wall. The plunger slides within a cage 26 retained in the valve body 16 by a cap 35, the latter forming a cylinder 38 for the piston 39. A second identical valve assembly 25 is mounted in the body and both are arranged to control a piston-andcylinder device 46, 47, Fig. 5, the valve assembly 25 being arranged to control the exhaust of the piston. In operation, fluid is fed under pressure from a pump 51 to the inlet 11 and also to the cylinder 38 of the piston 39 via passages 56, 57, 59, 60 and pilot valves 49, 50, thus maintaining both plunger valves closed. Upon operation of the pilot valve 49 to its alternative position, the pressure in the cylinder 38 is exhausted via passage 58 to a tank 54. The pressure in the inlet 11 then opens the plunger valve 30 and allows fluid to actuate the piston 47 via outlet 12 and passage 53. When the piston reaches its extreme position, the valve 49 is returned to the position shown in Fig. 5, and the piston is hydraulically locked in its extreme position. To return the piston, the valve 50 is actuated to vent the cylinder 38 of the plunger valve assembly 25 and thus permit the fluid in the cylinder 46 to be returned to the tank via passages 53, 55. The pilot valve may be manually or solenoid operated. The plunger valve assemblies 26, 27 may be replaced by poppet valve assemblies 62 as shown in Fig. 6. The cage 63, retains a seat member 74 on which a closure member 71 co-operates. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, the plunger 93 is connected to a spindle 95 to which is secured pistons 97, 104 operating in cylinders 98, 105 respectively. In operation, fluid under pressure is fed through an inlet 82 and, via a restricted port 103 and passages 100, 101, into a cylinder 98 to act on the piston 97 and thereby maintain the plunger valve closed. To open the valve, fluid is fed to the underside of the piston 104 via a port 108 and thereby opens the valve. The plunger valve assembly shown in Fig. 8 may also be replaced by a poppet type valve similar to the one previously described.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Filling-feelers for Looms.
Inventor: JACKSON SIMEON SCHOON
IPC: D03D51/34
Filed: 1918-10-29
Abstract: 129,191. Jackson, S. S. Oct 29, 1918 Weft-feeler arrangements.-In a weft feeler having a feeler member movable longitudinally of the bobbin on predetermined exhaustion of the weft thereon, the feeler-tip or contact piece is mounted on the feeler member in such a manner that it adjusts itself parallel to the longitudinal contour of the weft bobbin during a feeling action. In an arrangement in which the feeler member is displaced by the direct pressure of the weft bobbin thereon, a contact member 1, Figs. 3 and 4, provided with a serrated or other contact surface is pivoted at 1<a> to a feeler member 2 pivoted at 4 to a slide 3 mounted in guides on a frame 5 and normally pressed rearwards by a spring 6, so that projections 3a thereon are in contact with stops 5a. A rod 8 is pivoted at 7 to the member 2, and passes through a hole in a lug 9, its end being provided with an adjustable stop-collar 10 normally in contact with the lug 9. When the feeler member 2 is in its rearmost position, a controllerrest 13 thereon provided with an inclined rear face holds up the cranked end of a controller 14 secured to a shaft 15, and, when the slide 3 has been moved forwards during a feeling action before the predetermined exhaustion of the weft, the controller is still held up by a raised part 8a on the rod 8, which is also moved forwards. When, however, the feeler member 2 is displaced along the bobbin b upon predetermined exhaustion of the weft, it pivots about the point 7, and the rod 8 is not moved forwards, while the slide is moved far enough to take the rest 13 from under the controller, so that the controller is not supported, and the shaft 15 is turned by gravity assisted by a spring to allow a catch to be engaged by the weft hammer to initiate weft-replenishment or stop the loom. The movement of the contact piece 1 on the member 2 may be limited by stops, and a spring may be employed to hold it normally in contact with one of the stops. The contact piece may also be applied to a feeler member 35, Fig, 9, of the kind which is pivoted at 36 to a member 31. provided with a point adapted to penetrate the weft on the bobbin and normally allow the member 35 to engage the weft frictionally to prevent its displacement by pressure caused by the feeling action and transmitted to the member 35 by a wire 37. The contact piece 38 is pivotally mounted as described above and is displaced when the point of the member 31 makes contact with the denuded bobbin b.
