Filed: 1909-01-11
Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 612. Leese, J. Jan. 11. Magnesium carbonate, chloride, nitrate, oxide, and sulphate.-A natural amorphous magnesite, which by treatment with acid is capable of being disintegrated, is broken up to a suitable size and treated with the quantity of acid such as hydrochloric, sulphuric, or nitric acid that has been found by previous experiments on small quantities to be sufficient to disintegrate it to an impalpable paste. If the acid used is in the gaseous form, such as sulphurous or hydrochloric acid, it may be passed into water in which the magnesite is immersed; or in the case of hydrochloric acid, the gaseous acid may be moistened and passed over the dry magnesite ; or the dry acid may be passed over the moistened magnesite. A little hydrofluoric acid or a soluble fluoride may be added to the acid used, if silica is to be eliminated. The disintegrated mass is mixed up with enough water to make a milky liquor, and the magnesium carbonate is separated from this by any suitable means, such as filtration or decantation, and after washing is dried at a gentle heat; or, if magnesia is required, it is heated to drive off the carbonic acid, with or without the acid of superheated steam. The disintegration of the magnesite is carried on in a closed vessel, which may be provided with stirring-apparatus and has a tube for leading off the carbonic acid produced. The magnesium salts obtained in the filtrate may be suitably utilized.

Abstract: 2715. Baerlocker, R. F. Feb. 4. Controllers, actuating-mechanism for.-Controllers particularly applicable for variable-speed motors are arranged so that the biassing-spring is thrown out of gear with the arm at any desired position of the arm, for example, when all the armature resistance has been cut out, thereby leaving the arm free from bias in its further travel to vary the field resistance &c. The biassing-spring 3, Fig. 2, is attached at one end to a fixed lug 4, and at the other to the lower of a pair of arms 7, 6, loosely pivoted on the controller spindle. To the ends of the arms are pivoted another pair of arms 8, 9, connecting the ends of which is a spindle on which rotates a roller in three parts 10, 10<1>. The middle roller falls, in the first part of the travel of the switch, into a recess 13, Fig.l, in a cam 12 fixed to the spindle. On rotating the spindle to cut out armature resistance, the arms are rotated and stress the spring 3 until the side rollers 10<1> ride up an inclined slot 16 in a divided plate 14. The roller 10 is thus lifted out of the recess 13 and held in the recess 16 by the circular edge 17 of the cam until the spindle is returned.

Filed: 1909-06-22
Abstract: 14,648. Durey, A. P. July 11, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Connexions and attachments, applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs; dash-pots. - Consists in a dash-pot adapted to act as a brake for railway vehicles and for other purposes, in which a piston 2, Fig. 1, is reciprocated by means of an eccentric 13 on the rotating axle or shaft 28 in a cylinder 1 containing oil. The ends of the cylinder are normally in free communication through passages 3, 4, 5, and the oil is merely moved backwards and forwards by the piston. A valve 6 is provided by which the passage 3 can be more or less closed, thereby retarding the flow of the liquid. The cylinder 1 may be connected at each end to air reservoirs, or the valve may be provided with apertures to prevent excessive braking action. The cylinder is mounted in a casing 8 filled with oil. The valve 6 is operated by a crank 7, and a spring 29, Fig. 7, normally closes the valve. In a modified form a rotary vane driven by gearing from the axle may be used instead of the reciprocating piston. In the case of continuous railway brakes the crank 7 is connected to a crank 27 on a continuous shaft 16 running the length of the train and adapted to be rotated by a hand-lever 20 in the engineer's cab. The bevel-wheel 22 of the operating-gear is adapted to slide on a feather on the shaft 16, but is normally retained in operative contact with the wheel 21 by a weighted lever 30. In order to allow the springs 29 to move the valves to apply the brakes if the train breaks in two, a cord 24 is connected to the rear vehicle and to the weighted lever 30, which is moved by the tension in the cord when the vehicles separate to free the gear wheel 22 from the wheel 21.

Granted: 1910-07-15
Abstract: 16,492. Hague, J. July 15. Guards &c., controlling.-In devices for preventing the doors of carding-engines from being opened until the machine has stopped, for preventing the driving-gear from being thrown into action again until the door is closed, and for preventing the door from being opened while the machine is stopped as long as the belt remains on the fast pulley, the door K, Fig. 1, is connected by a rod J to one arm of a bell-crank lever G, which is arranged to be capable, under certain conditions, of angular movement about its pivot H. The pivot is carried in a bracket E behind the slotted flange D of the fast pulley, and comprises a round part H, Fig. 2, and a square part 0 sliding in corresponding pieces N<2>, N'. The lever G' is normally locked by. the square part 0 of the pivot H engaging the aperture in its boss F. When the fast pulley comes to rest, a pin can be inserted through one of the slots D in its flange and the pivot H moved longitudinally against the action of the spring P. This releases the lever G and allows the door to be opened. The opening of the door raises an arm M, which is connected through a rod S to one end of the bell-crank lever G, into the return path of the belt W from the loose to the fast pulley. When it is desired to rotate the cylinder for grinding, the arm M can be bodily removed and the belt put on the fast pulley. The arm M is bent at its end to prevent its movement consequent on an attempt being made to open the door should the engine stop while the belt remains on the fast pulley. According to the Provisional Specification, the belt-fork may operate a part to uncover an opening leading to the pivot of the bell-crank lever, or the movement of the belt-fork may move a positive obstruction out of the path of the pivot.
