Title: Improvements in Processes of Electric Welding.
Inventor: GNUECHTEL GUIDO
IPC: B23K11/18
Filed: 1913-01-06
Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 331. Gn³chtel, G. Jan. 6. Welding.-In electrically welding aluminium, brass, &c., metallic layers, which are removed from the weld after the weld is completed, or when rendered useless by burning, are interposed between the parts being welded and the electrodes to prevent the access of air or oxygen to, and the consequent burning of the parts at, the welding point. The layers, which may be of nickel, copper, silver, or other metal or alloy, may be in the form of buttons, plates, or strips 3, and may be positioned loosely between the work and the electrodes as shown or detachably connected to the electrodes by slides or catches &c. or adapted to be moved by hand or mechanical means. Several pairs of electrodes may be arranged side by side and operated in succession. According to the Provisional Specification, the intermediate layer may also be of natural origin or an artificial matter, such as wood, amber, sulphur, asbestos wool, &c., and gum, caoutchouc, sealing-wax, glass, &c., or may be produced by galvanic or electric process such as by plating. It may also be placed on one or both sides of the weld or may form a permanent part of the weld. In another form, the layer may be interposed between the parts being welded. It is also stated to prevent clogging of the electrodes.

Abstract: 8456. Thompson, W. P., [General Gas Light Co.]. Aug. 22, 1912. Pilot jets.-A pilot burner 71, 72, 73, having the section 72 projecting through the skirt member 15 of the lamp casing, is connected to a coupling-member 57 between the supply-pipe 1 and the valve casing 60. The pilot burner is supplied by a passage 75 in the coupling- member, which communicates with a passage 76 in the valve casing 60. This leads to a constantly open passage 78, and to a hollow flashing- valve 80, connected by links 91, 92 to the-lever 83. This operates the main valve 64 by means of a ratchet disk 84 pressed against a ratchet disk on the valve-stem by a spring, which serves also to return the lever 83 when released. The flashing-valve 80 is thus operated when the valve 64 is opened or closed. Screws 94, 79 regulate the passages 76, 78. The valve-casing 60 is connected to the coupling 57 by a hollow screw 61 with lateral openings 63.

Abstract: 11,504. Gelsdorf, E. May 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Burglar alarms.-In a locking-device for doors, windows, &c., operable from a distance and of the kind in which a rotating bolt is controlled by an electro-magnet, contact means are so arranged on the bolt and framework of the door that an attempt to force the door by pushing completes an electric circuit and sounds an alarm. The alarm is also sounded at each rotation of the bolt. The lock is operated by first making and then breaking a circuit which includes an electro-magnet 17, whereby two pins 7, 8 on a member 6 are successively freed so as to allow the clock-work mechanism 12<1>, 12, 10 to rotate the bolt 1 through a quarter revolution to lock or unlock the door. The bolt is provided at each end with projecting lateral pins 19, 19<1>, and side pins 20, 20<1> which are insulated from the material of the bolt and connected together as shown by an insulated wiro 20<11>. Similar side pins 22, 22<1>, uninsulated from the bolt, are also provided. A contact spring 26, mounted on a plate insulated from the casing 2, 3 is arranged near the inner end of the bolt and is connected in circuit with a battery 23 and alarm bell to the terminal 24<1> which is uninsulated from the plate 2. The recess in the door frame is lined with conducting material 18. If the bolt is forced backwards, the pins 20, 22 contact with the material 18, Fig. 2, and close the alarm circuit. The same circuit is also completed at each quarter-rotation of the boit 1, for the corner of the bolt then abuts against the spring 26.

Abstract: 5602. Avram, M. H. March 5. Time-alarms.-In connexion with apparatus for recording and registering the number and time of working of and the output of machines, of the intermittently-marked type, an adjustable timesignal indicates the completion of intervals in which an operation should be performed by each machine, and is derived from the second-hand arbor 107, Fig. 14, of a clock which completes every second the circuit of an electro-magnet 113 adapted to rotate, through ratchet mechanism 120, 121, spindles 128 of a series of electric-lamp timesignals 149, Fig. 16, one for each machine and observable by the corresponding operator, an adjusting-hand 140 for the signal, and a counter 157 for the number of such signals given, being mounted in the recorder casing at the foot of the corresponding column of the record drums. Each spindle 128 has feathered upon it a tubular magnetic member 129, 130 which is normally caused by a spring 132 to rotate a loose hub 134 through a friction clutch and thereby to carry round, against a spring (not shown), an arm 138 adapted to make contact, at the end of the predetermined interval, with an adjustable contact-maker 140. The circuit of a signal lamp 149, or bell, and of a solenoid 131 is thus completed, whereupon a movement to the left of the armature flange 130 leaves the contactarm free to return under the impulse of its spring. By a camming action between the armature flange and a spring lever 159, a counter 157 for the number of signals is actuated.
