Patent GB-191100447-A (GB)
Title: Ozonizer.
Inventor: LINDER OSCAR
IPC: C01B13/11
Filed: 1911-01-07
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 447. Linder, O. Jan. 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Gases &c., treating electrically. - The inner electrode 21, Fig. 4, of an ozonizer is shaped as a fan and rotates, and the outer electrode 27 surrounds the inner electrode, a thin cylindrical glass dielectric 26 being placed between them. The outer electrode is protected by a cover 29 of insulating tape which overlaps it, and the whole is secured to the base-plate by a fibre strap 30. The inner electrode 21 is secured to a fibre block 18, mounted on the motor shaft, and is supplied with current from a transformer 15, Fig. 1, by a spring-pressed contact 22. The motor 10, Fig. 1, serves to drive the fan-electrode 21, and also to supply current to. the transformer 15. The air is caused by the fanelectrode 21 to pass through the discharge gap, and is immediately withdrawn so that overheating is prevented. The rotation of the electrode also prevents dust settling on the discharge surfaces. The current of ozonized air is deflected to the top of the casing by an inclined plate 31, Fig. 1, and passes through the fine - meshed screen 32, that encloses the entire mechanism, so that accidental contact with any part of it is guarded against. A chamber is formed above the screen 32, having walls 34 of coarse-meshed material, through which the air is distributed by an inverted conical deflector 35.

Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 4410. Fasting, J. S. Feb. 24, 1910, [Convention date]. Separating by shaking-apparatus.-Granular or pulverized substances are separated according to fineness or specific gravity by means of an inclined plane or curved surface to which a rapid reciprocating vertical motion is imparted ; the finer particles or those of less specific gravity travel upwards, while the coarser particles or those of higher specific gravity pass downwards Fig. 2 shows a box 7 containing two inclined planes 1, 11 and fastened to the upper end of a bar 14, which is connected to a spring 16 on the frame 15, and carries a rotating pulley 18 with an eccentric weight 19. The cement &c. is fed on to a plate 9 and passes over the edge 10 on to the centre of the plate 11, which is of less inclination than, and has its upper edge 12 located above, the centre of the lower plate 1. The finest particles pass over the upper edge 2 of the lower plate, and the coarser material is discharged from the lower ends 13 of the plates. A hinge 21 is inserted between the box 7 and the bar 14 to allow the inclination of the box to be adjusted. Several plates of different inclinations and arranged one above the other may be used, and the different grades of material escaping from the lower ends of the plates may be collected separately. Or the finer and coarser particles separated by a plate may be further graded on separate plates. Fig. 3 shows a modification comprising a series of funnel-shaped plates 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 of increasing inclinations and with their upper edges located above the centre of the plate next below. The plates are operated by a crank 36 and rod 37 and the material is fed through a funnel in the top plate 29 on to a circular plate 31. The finest particles pass over the edge of the plate 25 and are discharged by a spout 28, while the material escaping from the lower ends of the plates is delivered by a spout 27 ; or all the plates may be closed at the bottom and fitted with discharge tubes. The motion of the plate may be somewhat inclined, or swinging in circular arcs. A plate having different inclinations at different parts may be used to divide material into several different grades.

Title: Improvements in Mail Bag Catching and Delivering Apparatus.
Inventor: ISENBERGER JACOB NORMAN
IPC: B61K1/02
Filed: 1911-11-14
Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 25,340. Isenberger, J. N. Nov. 14. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Transferring articles to and from trains in motion.-Mail-bags are exchanged between a train and the track by apparatus which locks the bags in the receiving arms and automatically moves into an inoperative position. The car device, Fig. 6, comprises an arm 7 capable of limited movement, against springs 5, about a vertical axis 6 when the arm is extended for catching and delivering. A delivering-hook 10 with spring arms 11 closed, when necessary, by a ring 12 to prevent the mail-bag from swinging, is fixed to the end of the arm 7. The receiving-hook 14 has a locking-lever 15, which is moved by the impact into the position shown in dotted lines, where it is held by a catch 17. The arm 7 is carried by an axle 1 provided at one end with a spring 24 and a rubber cushion 25 to absorb the shock of impact. A lug 29 on the axle coacts with a lug 28 on the bearing 20 to hold the arm 7 horizontal, and the lugs are disengaged when the axle slides endways under the impact, thus allowing the arm 7 to swing downwards. When this takes place, the lugs again coact and prevent further movement of the arm 7. The track device comprises a standard 30 carrying a rotatable shaft 35, Fig. 3, to which the catching- arm 49 and the delivering-arm 53 are secured. The arms are swung into the operative position against the action of a spring 41 surrounding and secured to the shaft 35, which is held in position by a double dog 45 coacting with catches 47 on a table 32 secured to the shaft 35. The catch 47 is released by the impact and the spring 41 then swings the arms 49, 53 parallel to the track until the second catch 47 engages with the dog 45. Spring buffers 43 take up the shock when the shaft 35 rotates. The delivering-arms comprise an upper spring arm 55 and a lower weighted arm 44 pivoted to the arm 49. The receiving-arms 50, 51, Fig. 7, are provided with a locking-lever 58.
