Abstract: 28,509. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Jan. 2, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Lightning-arresters &c.-In lightning-arresters and like protecting-devices for electric installations, each electrode is formed from two parts relatively movable under the influence of electrostatic attraction and repulsion resulting from a super-charge, thus lessening the normal spark-gap. Means may also be provided for indicating at a distance the operation of the device. The form shown comprises two electrodes connected to line and earth respectively, each having a fixed member 5, 8, Fig. 12, and a movable member 6, 7. Arc-rupturing horns 13, 14 are fitted. The movable members may be adapted to close contacts 15, 16 in an alarm circuit when they move under the influence of a high potential. The Specification as published under the Act of 1901 describes the invention as consisting in the provision in apparatus of the above type of at least one electrode formed of relatively movable members. In one construction, means are provided for breaking by a current of air the arc produced on discharge. In the simplest form, Fig. 2, the insulated electrode consists of two leaves a, b, which separate when highly charged, thus lessening the spark-gap from the leaf b to the earth electrode c. In modifications, the leaf a may be fixed ; or the electrode c, or one leaf of it, may be movable under the influence of the attraction of the leaf b. In other forms, Figs. 9 and 10, a movable part b may be mounted on a shaft a<1>, carrying an arm b<1> from which the spark passes to the terminal c. Fig. 13 shows an arrangement in which a permanent air current, maintained by a coil or lamp filament h placed in the bottom of a casing A as shown, is utilized to break the arc between the movable leaves b, c. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted. The Figures in this abridgment are numbered as in the Speci. ficition as originally published, Fig. 12 alone appearing in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Variable-speed Gearing especially applicable to Motor Road Vehicles
Inventor: DEVAUCHELLE CHARLES
Filed: 1907-04-12
Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 8566. Devauchelle, C., and Serpette, C. April 12. Variable-speed and reversing gearing.-In a variable-speed gear, suitable for motor-vehicles, of the type in which a sliding friction roller is driven by a pair of side disks ; the disks are driven from the motor shaft through toothed gearing and are pressed against the roller by movable gearboxes. The motor shaft 1, Fig. 1, carries a bevelwheel 2 meshing with wheels 3 on either side on short shafts 4 in line. The shafts 4 are recessed at their ends to receive the squared ends of spindles 5 which carry spur-wheels 6 meshing with and driving wheels 8 upon shafts 9 carrying the driving-disks 10. The roller 12 is slidably mounted on a shaft 13 end to end in line with the shaft 1. The disks 10 rotate in opposite directions and drive the shaft 13 at varying speeds in one or other direction according to the position of the roller 12. A direct drive is arranged for between the shafts 1, 13 by having the wheel 2 loosely mounted on the shaft 1 and rotatively connected thereto by a double clutch sleeve 15 sliding on a feather on the shaft 1. For the direct drive, the friction gearing is thrown out of action by disengaging the sleeve 15 from the pinion 2 and engaging with a clutch member 17 upon the shaft 13. The disks 10 present conical and slightly undulating surfaces to the roller 12, which comprises hydraulically-pressed sheets of leather arranged edgeways. The shafts 5, 9 are carried by sliding boxes 11 which are thrust inwards by springs 19 and guided by levers 20, 21. In modifications, such as shown in Fig. 2, the bevel-gearing about the shaft 1 of Fig. 1 is replaced by spur gearing and the spur gearing near the disks 10 by bevel-gearing, the sets of gearing being connected by cardan shafts 23. The boxes 11 may be thrust inwards by cams 24. The thrust of the rod wheels in the case of a vehicle may be utilized by being directed against the levers 20 to increase the frictional engagement. Hand or foot levers may also be connected to the levers 20.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Discharging Liquids from and to Filter Beds and other Receptacles.
Inventor: BROWN CHARLES ROBERT BARRINGTO
Filed: 1907-05-04
Granted: 1908-05-04
Abstract: 10,418. Brown, C. R. B. May 4. Siphons.-Apparatus for discharging sewage or other liquid from a tank to a series of filter-beds or other receptacles in sequence consists of domed siphons, each of which is connected by a pipe 4 to an apparatus of the construction shown in Fig. 2. At each filling of the tank, air is forced from the siphons through the pipes 4 to chambers 9 communicating by pipes 10 with chambers 5. The chambers 5, 9 of each apparatus contain a liquid such as a non-drying oil or mercury, and the air pressure forces the liquid from the chamber 5 up a pipe 6 to an open vessel 7. On discharge of the tank, the air pressure is released and liquid in the tank 7 above the inlet of the pipe 6 is returned to the chamber 5, while that below the inlet passes by the pipe 8 to the chamber 9. The division of the liquid between the chambers 5, 9 is initially different for each apparatus, and discharge of the tank after any filling takes place through that siphon, for which the corresponding chamber 5 is completely emptied by the filling, the air being released from the dome of this siphon through the pipe 4, chamber 5, and pipe 6. The tank 5 is re-filled from the tank 9 by means of the siphon 11. In a modification, the chambers 5, 9 are placed side by side, the pipe 10 does not enter the chamber 5, but connects the chamber 9 to the pipe 6, and a bent tube, through which the oil is drawn by the suction due to the discharge of the main siphon, replaces the siphon 11. The bent tube may be fitted with a cock governed by a ball in the main tank or in a separate cistern. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement for stopping the action of a discharging- siphon. The chamber 15 contains oil and a mercury seal covering the end of a pipe 19 communicating with the atmosphere or a compressed air-vessel. The suction of the discharge through the siphon draws the oil to the chamber 16 through the valved pipe 17, breaks the seal of the pipe 19, and admits air which stops the discharge. The oil is then returned to the chamber 15. Fig. 5 shows apparatus for controlling the period during which a filter bed 20 is kept full of liquid. Air from the siphon forces oil from a chamber 21 up a pipe 22 and through a tap 24, until the seal is broken and air admitted. The oil is returned from the vessel 23 to the chamber 21 through a pipe 25 sealed by mercury at its lower end. In modified apparatus a U-tube replaces the sealed tube 25. According to the Provisional Specification, sand or other suitable granular material may be used instead of the non-drying liquid, and the ball cock, mentioned in connexion with the modified form of the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, may be replaced by a needle-valve suspended from a float acting in the short leg of a siphon in the vessel 9, the long leg of the siphon communicating with the vessel 5. In addition to the needle-valve, a flap valve may be employed mounted on one arm of a lever, the other arm of which carries an oil tray.
