Abstract: 18,931. Ruzicka, C. Sept. 19. Primary batteries.-The battery comprises an hermetically-sealed vessel containing the necessary electrodes, and is charged with a suitable gas under a sufficient pressure to maintain it or the greater portion of it in a liquid state. When the gas is not capable of ready liquefaction by means of pressure, it is dissolved under pressure in a suitable liquid, which may contain in solution salts of metals whereof the oxides are strongly caustic. In all cases, the gas is of such a nature that it chemically attacks one or both of the electrodes. The electrodes may be perforated plates, frames, grids, &c., the active part in the latter case being electrolytically deposited, filled in, fused or welded on, or pasted in, with admixture of temporary binding-agents, such as glue &c., or of permanent binding - agents, such as plastic silicated clays or readily fusible minerals &c. like cryolite. Electrochemical combinations of the following kinds are mentioned : aluminium and carbon electrodes in liquefied chlorine ; titanium carbide and lead in the same electrolyte iron and aluminium in chlorine ; carbon and magnesium in anhydrous liquefied nitrogen trioxide ; carbon and zinc in hydrogen peroxide charged with oxygen ; carbon and nickel oxide in potash charged with hydrogen ; carbon and titanium in ammonia charged with nitrogen ; carbon and aluminium in pure hydrofluoric acid charged with fluorine. When a liquefied gas is employed, the battery is provided with suitable cooling-pipes. A large number of liquids for receiving the charge of gas is enumerated.

Abstract: 211. Hart, W. Fairburn, [Stokes & Smith Co.]. Jan. 3. Automatic instruments.-Winding-mechanism for music rolls is controlled by two levers, one of which serves both for regulating the speed and also for throwing the driving-mechanism out of gear, and the other for simultaneously disconnecting the take-up roller, removing a brake from the delivery roller, and protecting the contact fingers during rewinding by hand. The apparatus is slidably mounted, as indicated in Fig. 14, on a guide-rail 9 below the keyboard, and may be pivoted at 12 to the sliding plate 11, so that when drawn out for operation and released from a catch it may be held in a downward position by a stop 16. The delivery roller 19, Fig. 3, is mounted between a telescopic spring bearing 21, Fig. 5, and a shaft 25 with a coupling 24, Fig. 3, a brake hub 26, and rewinding- gear operated by hand (not shown). The brake 59, which is applied by a spring 63 with an adjusting screw 64, is removed during rewinding by the action of the lever 79 upon the arm 61. The takeup roll 20, Fig. 5, is mounted loosely upon a shaft with a ball bearing 30<a> and clutch member 69 at one end, and a worm-wheel 31 at the other. The shaft is variably driven through a worm 32 and a rubber-tyred wheel 35 from a convex disk 38 on a flexible motor-driven shaft 43, in which is a twopart coupling. The rod 41 carrying this shaft is pivoted at the end remote from the disk, and is also capable of sufficient longitudinal motion to carry the disk out of contact with the wheel 35, and thus interrupt the motion of the tune-sheet as required for pauses. The position of the rod 41 is regulated by a tempo lever 51, Fig. 2, connected to it by a link 52, and its longitudinal displacement is effected by a lateral movement of the same lever, acting upon a lever 55. The cradle 73 carrying the contact roller 74 of the electric action as shown, or the tracker of a pneumatic action, is mounted upon the same shaft as the take-up roll, and is brought into the operative position shown in Fig. 3 by means of the lever 79 connected to it by a link 79<a>. In this position the lever closes a switch 81, and a bolt 76, Fig. 5, mounted in a socket in the cradle, enters a recess 76<a> in the frame and allows the spring 72 to move the clutch member 65 into engagement with the member 69. When the lever 79 is raised, the bolt is forced back by the cam surface of the recess and disengages the clutch, the electrical circuit is broken,.the brake is removed from the delivery roll, and a bar 83<a> rises in front of and protects the contact fingers 84. Specification No. 25,101, A.D. 1904, is referred to.

Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 14,258. Imray, O., [Schiele, E., (trading as Meyer, R. O.)]. June 21. Heating by water circulation; heating buildings.-Relates to means for accelerating the flow of liquid in hot - water heating -apparatus without the employment of valves. In the heating- system is arranged a pulsometer or the like having the suction and delivery strokes of different duration. The longer stroke acts upon a conduit presenting less resistance than that presented by the conduit acted upon by the shorter stroke. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement, in which the piston b of a pump has a slow delivery stroke forcing water into the expansion vessel d, the resistance in the pipe leading to the vessel d being less than that in the conduit c. The suction stroke of the pump is rapid, so that water is drawn through the conduit c, but not from the expansion vessel owing to the vacuum in the expansion vessel. A compensating or equalizing air vessel g may be provided. Tne pump may have a slow suction and a rapid delivery stroke, in which case the flow through the system is reversed. The air vessel g may be replaced by a siphon pipe. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement in which the flow of part of the water is accelerated, the remainder passing through the central pipe i. The pipe k through which the accelerated water passes enters the tube i axially as shown to increase the flow through the tube.
