Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 10,564. Rylski, B., and Cornu, P. May 16, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Actuating lift and india-rubber valves.-Relates to gas valves and to means for actuating them from a distance electrically or by pneumatic or hydraulic pressure. In the pneumatically-operated device shown in Fig. 1, a valve C, consisting of a cup filled with glycerine. or other liquid and covered with an elastic membrane, is enclosed in a box B rendered gas-tight by an elastic membrane D, and is connected by a spindle S with a piston P, which is normally pressed by a spring P' so as to cause the valve C to close the outlet X by which the gas passes to the burner A. The quantity of gas to be supplied from the chamber B to the burner is determined by adjusting a nut R on the valve spindle. The U- shaped gas-supply pipe 0 communicates with a chamber F having one side closed by a flexible diaphragm, upon which is mounted the rod p<4> of a piston p. As soon as the meter cock is turned on, gas entering the box F causes the flexible diaphragm to press the end of the rod p<4> against the side of the regulating-nut R. If compressed air is then admitted by the pipe P' above the piston P, the valve C is opened, and the nut R descends until the rod p<4> passes over its upper edge, retaining the valve C in the open position shown in the Figure. To close the valve C without turning off the meter cock, compressed air supplied by the pipe P<3> forces the piston p to the left and removes the rod p<4> from the upper edge of the nut R, whereupon the piston P and the valve C are raised by the spring P<4>. If, however, the meter cock is turned off, the pressure of the gas in the box F becomes nil, a spring b withdraws the rod p<4> from the nut R, and the spring P<4> closes the valve. The valve C may be replaced by bellows valves. When the valves are actuated electrically, the pistons are replaced by electro-magnets.

Title: Method of Producing Electroactive Cement-like Substances of Iron and Nickel Hydrates for Forming Electrodes, and Accumulators Constructed with such Electrodes.
Inventor: JUNGNER ERNST WALDEMAR
Filed: 1907-02-14
Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 3711. Jungner, E. W. Feb. 15, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Secondary batteries.-Relates to the production of active cement-like hydrates of nickel and iron for accumulator electrodes. In examples, pulverized iron or nickel is mixed with a small amount of sulphur, the mixture is made into a paste with an electrolyte, for example ammonium chloride or sulpburic acid solution, the paste is moulded into bricks and these are exposed to the air ; nitric acid or other oxidizing-agent may be added to the electrolyte used. The surface of the iron particles may be coated with another metal such as mercury, copper, nickel, or bismuth, copper amalgam being preferred. Thus, iron particles are immersed in an acid solution of copper sulphate and mercury sulphate, and after coating are washed by decantation and then washed with alcohol, or are dried in vacuo to prevent oxidation ; or the powdered metals may be added to the cement paste. In another example, amalgamated iron powder is mixed with sulphur, and the mixture is made into a paste with alcohol and pressed between perforated iron plates, which are folded or bent together at the edges. After evaporation of the alcohol, the electrode is immersed in a solution of ammonium chloride and sulphuric acid ; it is then embedded in moist sawdust and allowed to rust. In another example, a layer of paste consisting of iron powder mixed with sulphur and a solution of ammonium chloride and sulphuric acid, is spread on an iron wire net or perforated plate, and the electrode is pressed and allowed to rust in moist sawdust. It is advantageous to immerse the electrode in a solution of some binding - agent which is not attached by alkali, for instance solutions of rubber in carbon disulphide, or collodion in ether, or viscose or shellac solution, &c. After evaporation of the solvent, the electrode is made the cathode in an alkaline bath, and when gases have begun to develop, the electrode is removed and pressed ; copper, nickel, &c. carriers may be substituted for iron carriers. Nickel electrodes may be made similarly and treated by anode-electrolysis. The surface of the carrier may be previously oxidized, say, by electrolysis. Plates thus prepared are used in alkaline accumulators with separating-partitions of a porous material, such as asbestos or artificial silk.
