Abstract: 23,740. Soc. GÚnÚrale des Nitrures. Nov. 22, 1912, [Convention date]. Aluminium nitride ; calcium carbide ; alkali and alkaline-earth cyanides.-Aluminium nitride is prepared from a mixture of alumina or aluminous substances and carbon by blowing, dropping, or passing the mixture in a state of suspension through a space filled with nitrogen and heated to the temperature of the reaction. The heating may be effected in any known way, for example the tube through which the materials are passed may be of graphite and used as an electric heating resistance; or one or more arcs may be produced. therein, and these arcs may be blown magnetically or by a current of gas. If the reaction is not completed after a single passage, the treatment is repeated. The heat in the gases is used to preheat the materials, and the heat in the materials leaving the furnace is used to heat the gases. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the application of the process to the production of chemical reactions in general between solids and solids, or solids and gases, and also the production of calcium carbide from lime and carbon; alkali and alkaline-earth cyanides from the corresponding oxides or carbonates and carbon in the presence of nitrogen; and baryta from barium nitrate and carbon. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electricaly Operated Change Speed Gear.
Filed: 1915-07-02
Granted: 1915-11-04
Abstract: 9682. Oesterreichische Daimler-Motoren Akt.-Ges. July 14, 1914, [Convention date]. Setting and retaining devices for controlling apparatus.-Variable-speed and reversing gearing for motor-vehidles is operated by an electric selecting-device and a clutch pedal P, the actual operation of gears for a new speed being effected by the effort of the main clutch spring 1 when the pedal P is released. Speed-gear operating rails 2, 2<1> carry at their ends members 14, 14<1> of peculiar shape adapted to coact with hammer-head shaped ends III, III<1>, IV, IV<1> of rods 3, 3<1>, 4, 4<1> respectively, which are connected in pairs to the upper and lower crossbars of a frame 12. The frame 12 rocks about a spindle 11, being operated by a crank-pin 10 engaging a cam-groove 9 upon a sleeve 8. The sleeve 8 slides on a fixed bar 8<1>, being operated by a lever 7 extending from the pedal P. The selection of a gear-ratio is effected by exciting any one of four electro-magnets 15, 15<1>, 16, 16<1>, which are adapted to attract the rods 3, 3<1>, 4, 4' respectively towards the rails 2, 2<1>. This selective operation is effected by depressing by hand one of a number of keys 31, 31<1>, 32, 32'. the selected key being held down by magnetic attraction. In the configuration shown, the key 32 has been depressed, the rod 4 has been drawn upwards to the magnet 16, and the head IV has engaged a lug a on the member 14, by which the rail 2 has been drawn to the left, moving a catch 34 from the neutral notch 0 to the second-speed notch. To change to, say, the third speed, the key 31 is depressed, causing the key 32 to be withdrawn by a spring. The pedal P is then depressed, releasing the main clutch A and sliding the sleeve 8 to the right. The crank 10 moves up and down in the groove 9, and the head IV moves idly through an aperture in the member 14 and back. The rod 3 also moves idly. At the end of the movement, a projection 36 on the sleeve 8 strikes an electric terminal 37, completing the circuit of the magnet 15 and causing th rod 3 to be drawn downwards. A locking- frame 26 is caused to rock so as to release the rod 4 and allow it to fall, while it locks the rod 3 in its lower position. When the pedal P is released, the spring 1 and cam 9 again give the frame 12 a double rocking movement. The first oscillation causes the head IV to engage a web b on the member 14 and thrust the rail 2 to the right to its neutral position. The head III then snaps behind a lug c on the member 14. The second oscillation of the frame 12 causes the head III to push the rod 2 to the right until the catch 34 engages the third-speed notch. The rods 4<1>, 3<1> are used for a first speed and reversed driving. A fifth rod 13 coacting with an electro-magnet 17, and a key 33 are provided for disengaging any speed and returning the parts to neutral configuration
