Patent GB-190819034-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Automatically Signalling and Controlling the Operation of Bacteria Beds, Filter Beds, and the like.
Inventor: DIBDIN LIONEL AGLIO
Filed: 1908-09-10
Granted: 1909-09-10
Abstract: 19,034. Dibdin, L. A. Sept. 10. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Sewage, treating; bacteriological processes; filtering.-An arrangement for use in connexion with bacteria beds or other apparatus in which a series of vessels are successively charged and discharged comprises a water-wheel or equivalent motor A, which is rotated, when a bed B is filled, by the overflow therefrom through a pipe C. The wheel operates a bell D or some other signal, or closes the inlet valve to the filter and opens that to the succeeding filter, or works both the signal and the valves. The wheel A is also rotated by the discharge from an auxiliary chamber H when sufficient liquid has flowed over from the bed B through an adjustable valve K to open a valve or tipping- weir G. This is connected by a link L to a similar valve F, which admits liquid more rapidly from the fitter so as to maintain a sufficient flow through the chamber H to keep the valve G open and to rotate the wheel A. The period of contact for the bed is thus automatically regulated, the wheel A being connected to the outlet valve by worm, rack- and-pinion, and other gear, arranged so that it becomes inoperative when the valve is opened to the full extent, and permits the valve to close quickly, for example by its own weight, when a latch or detent is tripped by means of the valve-controlling apparatus of the preceding bed.

Title: Process for Preventing the Dropping of Active Material in Alkaline Accumulators.
Inventor: MARSEILLE LEON
IPC: H01M4/24
Filed: 1908-07-04
Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 15,373. Marseille, L., and Gouin, P. July 4, 1908, [Convention date]. Electrodes.-In alkali accumulators, especially those with iron-nickel electrodes, the supports, pockets, perforated or woven wire tubes, &c. to be pasted with active material are previously oxidized by a warm solution of nickel nitrate until a hard porous exterior coating of nickel sesquioxide is deposited, which prevents the active material from dropping out. The layer of sesquioxide acts in conjunction with the active material. The process may also be used for alkali accumulators having one electrode insoluble, such as iron or nickel, and the other soluble, such as zinc.
Patent GB-190918462-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Supplying Working-fluid to a Gas Turbine.
Inventor: ILLY JOHN
Filed: 1909-08-10
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 18,462. Illy, J. Aug. 10. Balancing moving parts; regulating; working - fluid supply.-Apparatus for supplying working-fluid to a gas turbine comprises an explosion chamber in which compression is effected from the turbine shaft, and a mixing- chamber which delivers the working-fluid to the turbine through a governor-controlled throttle valve. Means are provided for injecting air, water, water-vapour, or an inert gas into the explosion and mixing chambers. The gaseous charge is compressed and exploded in a cylinder 10 by a piston 12 driven from a shaft 15, and the products of combustion are conducted by a pipe 17 to mixing-chambers 45, 46, and thence to the turbine C which drives the shaft 15. To the spindle 30 of a valve 16 controlling the passage 17 is secured a differential piston 29 which is subjected above and below to oil pressure. The explosion forces the valve 16 upwards against the pressure of a spring 34 acting on a piston 35, and the port 17 is uncovered. When all the products of combustion have been expelled from the cylinder 10, the valve 16 is forced back against the cushioning action of the oil below the piston 29, and the mixing-chamber 45 is sealed from the explosion chamber 10. Valves 26, 27 admit gas and air respectively to the casing of the valve 16, and mixing is effected through valves 20, 21 which, together with a valve 18, are seated inside the valve 16. The mixture is drawn through the valve 18 into the cylinder 10 by the suction stroke of the piston 12. The explosion forces back a spring-pressed piece 38 surrounding a fixed seat 39, and water or air, or both, are injected into the chamber 10 through orifices in the hollow stem secured to the seat 39, and through passages in the part 39<1>. The air is compressed by a pump 88 into a cylinder 87, which supplies a pipe 66, the water being supplied by a pipe 93. The movement of the piece 38 operates, through links 74, 72, a needle-valve 68 for introducing additional cooling-medium into the mixing-chamber 45. From this chamber, the working-fluid passes through adjustable spring-pressed valves 49 into a chamber 46 which connects with the turbine C through a conical throttle-valve 54 controlled by a governor 56. The pressure in the chamber 46 regulates the admission valves 26, 27, through a piston 57 and links 60, 62. It also regulates the admission of cooling-medium to the passage 17 by means of a link 63 and cock 64. A handcontrolled cock 67 regulates the admission of air to the chamber 46. The rotor 79 of the turbine C is provided .with passages 81 for balancing 'end - thrust, and is stepped, the diameter decreasing towards the exhaust 76. For starting, the shaft of the compressing-piston is uncoupled from that of the turbine by means of a clamp 95, and is coupled by a clutch 96 to an electric motor. The chamber 45 may lead directly to the turbine, the chamber 46 being omitted.

Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 21,992. Liman, O., and Lundstedt, J. Sept. 27. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Guide-pulleys for railway-signal wires &c. are adjustably mounted in holders so that they can be adjusted to the directions of pull on the wire. Fig. 1 is an elevation partly in section, and Fig. 3 is a plan view, of the apparatus. A bracket b is bolted to a post a, and carries a holder c. A spherical head f on the spindle d of each guide-pulley r fits in a spherical recess formed partly in one portion g and partly in another portion h of the holder, and these portions are clamped together to fix the pulleys in position by means of a bolt i. A further adjustment is obtained by forming the holder c in two portions provided with teeth t. The bolt i is loosened, and one toothed portion is moved relatively to the other until other teeth mesh and the bolt i is then tightened. The pulleys are mounted on balls p seated on a sleeve s, which is fitted with a screwed tightening- ring q. A nut o clamps the parts together and allows a guard n to be turned to any position on the spindle d. In the case of a single pulley or several pulleys on one spindle the spherical head on the spindle is mounted in a lateral socket in an undivided holder, and is secured therein by a set-screw.

IPC: C01B21/46
Filed: 1909-12-30
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 30,502. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Dec. 30. Nitric acid; nitrogen oxides.-Consists in improvements on the process described in Specification 11,274/09 for obtaining nitrates by treating with nitric acid a solution of nitrite or nitrite and nitrate and absorbing the nitrogen oxides evolved, after the addition of oxygen, in water or a non-alkaline solution for the production of nitric acid. The invention consists in causing the nitric acid thus produced, together with an additional small excess of nitric acid, to act immediately on more nitrite-containing solution. The nitric acid may be added to the nitrite-containing solution in a mixing-vessel, air being introduced near the bottom. The small excess of additional nitric acid may be formed in the mixer by passing in gases containing nitrogen oxides from an electric furnace. Or the furnace gases may be passed into the nitric acid in the absorber. Specification 28,614/04 is also referred to.

Abstract: 941. Hiscock, B. S. Jan. 13. Variable - speed epicyclic gearing is operated by means of disks h, n, Fig. 1, which screw with threads of opposite hand inside the gear-case g<1>, and the planet-carrier e, Fig. 2, is in two pieces bolted together with the spindles d of the planet -elements c &c. in between. The driving and driven shafts a, b are in line, and carry gears a<1>, b<1>, respectively, meshing with gears c, c<1>.

A solid drive is produced when the clutch is in action, and a reduced speed when the carrier e is held against rotation by the brake. The clutch m is operated by turning the screwed disk n by means of a projecting lever o. The brake disk h is operated by a separate lever l. Since the threads on the disks h, n are of opposite hand, the levers o, l can be moved together to change the speed.
