Title: Improvements in Ventilating Corn Mills.
Inventor: RUBOW RUDOLPH FREDERIK POVL
IPC: B02C11/08
Filed: 1911-04-13
Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 9270. Rubow, R. F. P. April 13. Ventilating mills; roller mills.-In a modification of the process of ventilating corn mills described in Specification 15,429/10, the air circulating through the machines and filters also circulates through the rooms of the mill, the pressure being maintained slightly above atmospheric by the introduction of fresh air with the grain, if necessary supplemented by a small fan. The fans p, u, x, x' draw air through filters q, v, z, z<1> from the main exhaust pipes o, which are all connected together, and pump it into the supply-pipes i, which are also connected together. From the lowest pipe i the air is led to the elevators g for the break-roll chop by pipes h, to the feed-worm m of the second break by pipes l, and by openings to the cellar a or other mixing-chamber, whence the air passes upwards by the belt-holes and other openings to the other rooms of the mill. The impure air from the break-rolls is carried by pipes n to the exhaust o. Air may enter the roller mills from the room. The purifiers s are supplied by the pipes r, and the air may be discharged into the room. The centrifugal w<1> is supplied and exhausted by pipes w, y, and the sifters a<1>, a<2>, g<1> by pipes w<2> and y<1>, a<3> and b<1>, and f<1> and h<1>, respectively. The elevators g are exhausted at the top. From the uppermost room, a fan j<1> forces the air by pipes k', l<1> into the lower rooms. Valves or dampers are employed to regulate the distribution of the air, and outlets i to relieve excessive pressure. The temperature and humidity of the air may be regulated by any known means.

Title: Improvements in, and connected with, Devices for Making Records for use with Road Guide Signalling Devices.
Inventor: CHADWICK LEE SHERMAN
IPC: B60R7/08
Filed: 1911-05-05
Granted: 1911-11-16
Abstract: 10,913. Chadwick, L. S. May 5. Indicating on vehicles their position on road. -A blank record disk, driven from the wheels of an automobile so as to make one revolution in going over a given route, is embossed or perforated by a set of hand punches which are operated during the journey to record the turnings which should be taken and the points of danger &c. The record disk is used for causing the display of corresponding road-guide and danger signals at the appropriate points of the route when the journey is repeated or during the return journey. The disk 4, Fig. 2, of card or soft metal, is mounted on a turntable 5, which normally engages a clutch wheel 7, driven by flexible shafting through reducing-gear comprising a worm and worm-wheel 11, 12 and a differentially-toothed planetary-pinion device 16, 17, 18. The clutch 7 can be disconnected at will by throwing over a cam-lever 23, pivoted in a protruding sleeve 24 of the turntable 5, and the turntable can then be rotated to adjust the card by using the cam-lever as a crank handle. Spring-returned punches 50, Fig. 3, operated by marked buttons 51, are arranged in a staggered row across the front of the casing so as to act at different radial distances on the card 4, and the frame plate at the rear of the card has a corresponding set of apertures 53. Records made by these punches are subsequently used to operate signals such as 2, Fig. 5, through bell-crank tracing-levers 30 and links 35. The signals 2 are mounted in a windowed chamber at the top of the casing 1, and may be pivoted on two shafts so that two signals may be shown simultaneously for the purpose of increasing the number of significations. For the same purpose several signals may be shown in rapid succession. Alternatively, word signals may be displayed, or the links 35 may operate signal shutters. The modified apparatus shown in Fig. 7 is for preparing simultaneously positive and negative records suitable respectively for use during forward and return journeys on a given route. The two blanks 4 geared to rotate at equal speeds in opposite directions, are marked by two sets of punches 50<a>, operated by interlinked levers 51<a>, one set of which is provided with press-buttons. Some of the links 56<a> are crossed so that the same punch-button may prepare say a ' right-turn ' signal on the positive record and a ' left-turn ' signal on the negative record. For giving small rotary adjusting-movements to the card 4, the clutch flange of the turntable 5 may be provided with pawls 60, Fig. 10, which engage teeth 63 on a plate 62 when the cam-lever 23 is thrown over to disconnect the clutch. The record may be in the form of a band and may have information marked on its face, and may control audible instead of visible signals. The signals controlled from the record may be in a different part of the vehicle and may be electrically operated.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Signals for use in Wireless Telegraphy.
Inventor: ANGELINI ORESTE
IPC: H04L27/04
Filed: 1911-10-11
Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 22,443. Angelini, O. Oct. 11. Wireless telegraphy; electric oscillations, producing.-Each dot or dash element of a wireless Morse signal is represented by two audibly distinguishable sets of radiations which mark respectively its commencement and its close. Thus a momentary sound is heard by the receiving-operator when the distant transmitting- key is depressed, and a second momentary sound, of a different character from the first, is heard when the key is released. The difference may be one of amplitude or of wave-group frequency. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, depression of the key b breaks a circuit including the primary p, battery h, adjustable resistance c, contact a, and key b, while the subsequent release of the key breaks a circuit including the primary p, battery h, contact g, and key b. At each of these circuit-openings, an impulse is communicated to the secondary s and a spark passes at the gap o, but in the first case, owing to the resistance c in the primary circuit, the spark is weaker than in the second case. The key b may be operated electro-magnetically. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, an extra battery x is included in the circuit through the front contact g, so that a more vigorous spark passes at the gap o when the key b is released than when it is depressed. This difference is repeated in the relay spark discharges which occur, under the influence of the primary sparks, at the gaps 2, 4. As shown in Fig. 5, the front contact g may be bridged by a condenser e, in which case, the closing of the primary circuit g, p, h suffices to produce the first spark.

Abstract: 17,486. Money, G. J. July 30. E x t i n c t e u r s ; sprinklers, automatic; sprinkling apparatus, n o n - automatic; water supply systems.- In fixed fire-extinguishing apparatus o f t h e chemical or non- chemical t y p e , the outlet valve of the chemical fireextinguisher or the water-tank is opened by means of a wire passing along the interior of the discharge pipes. In the case of a chemical fire-extinguisher, the operation of the wire also effects the tilting of a receptacle fitted with bottles containing the acid and alkali charges, which are thus discharged into water and caused to mix. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the wire V<1> passing through the discharge pipe P<2> is adapted to rotate a wheel U and thus raise a pivoted link X<1>, which lifts a valve M to allow the discharge of liquid from the tank. At the same time, a rod K rises and tilts the chemical - receptacle. The wire may be operated by means of a lever G, Fig. 8, adapted to rotate a wheel U<3>, to which the wire V<1> is connected. The wire may alternatively be connected to a fusible outlet nozzle comprising inner and outer tubular parts united by fusible metal, which is adapted to melt at a given temperature, thus allowing one part to slide within the other under the action of a spring and effect the operation of the wire. The chemical fire - extinguisher is fitted with air-chambers, and with a lid adapted to open inwards and to be secured by a toggle joint.

Abstract: 26,918. Watson, W. S. Nov. 22. Double - acting piston pumps; actuating by hydraulic Motors.-In a device for supplying disinfectants &c. to water in a main, of the type comprising two cylinders, one acting as the cylinder of a water - motor which drives a piston in the other which serves as a pump for the disinfectant, the water-motor is driven by the pressure of the water to be treated, but the actual water passing through the motor is not treated. A special arrangement of valve-gear is also described. The cylinders c, d are separated by a partition b through which passes a hollow piston-rod g sliding on a guide-rod h. Water is admitted to the cylinder d from the main p by valves q<3> and passes to waste by valves r, r<1>, the valves q<3>, r, r<1> being carried on a rod q<4>. Disinfectant is admitted to the cylinder c by valves l on a rod l<1> and discharged by valves n' on a rod n<2>, passing to a mixing-chamber o containing conical baffles o'. To operate the valves q<3>, r, r<1>, l, l, n<1>, there are provided tappets u<4>, w<4> in the cylinders d, c, connected by levers and links to a rocking piece s. The lever w<1> to which the tappet w<4> is attached strikes against pins on the rods l<1>, n<2>, of the valves l, n', thus operating those valves. The rod q<4> of the valves q<3>, r, r<1>, engages with a slot in the rocking piece s. The tappets u', w<4> are operated by the pistons. To ensure quick motion of the valves, the upper edge t of the rocking piece s is bevelled as shown, and bears against a roller t<1> carried by a spring, so that when the rocking piece s has passed the middle point of its movement it is driven by the roller t<1> to its extreme position. Water enters the mixing-chamber o from the main p without passing through the cylinder d.
