Patent GB-191400618-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Apparatus for the Conversion of Motion according to One Law into Motion according to Another Law.
Inventor: MOUTON WILLEM ANNE
Filed: 1914-01-09
Granted: 1915-01-11
Abstract: 618. Mouton, W. A., Barr, A., and Stroud, W. Jan. 9. Modifying scale of readings.-Relates to transmission gearing for the conversion of motion according to one law into motion according to another law, and is especially applicable to sighting-devices for ordnance. It consists in an arrangement of two or more flat spiral racks, and pinions engaging therewith, whereby the range dial is rotated in accordance with one law, and the sights are adjusted in accordance with another law. If the range scale is constructed in the manner described in Specification 5182/12, [Class 106 (i), Calculating &c.], a " muzzle-velocity " correction can be introduced by a preliminary adjustment of one of the racks. Several constructions are described. In that shown in Figs. 2 and 3, two coaxially-mounted disks 1, 2 have spiral racks 3, 4 on their faces, with which gear flanged pinions 5, 6 on the driving and driven shafts 7, 8 respectively. The shaft 7 may be the spindle of a uniformly graduated range dial, and the shaft 8 that of the sightelevating gear. If the range dial is graduated in the manner described in the Specification referred to above, the muzzle-velocity correction is made by rotating one disk an appropriate amount relatively to the other disk, after which the two disks are locked together. Since one pinion is at the periphery of its disk when the other is near the centre, the resistance to rotation of the transmission may be considerable. To overcome this, a differential gear is introduced between the two shafts 7, 8 or between one shaft and the disks. An example of the former arrangement is shown in Fig. 4, the two racks 3, 4 being formed in this construction on the opposite faces of a single disk. The wheel 12 of the differential gear is fixed on the shaft 7, and the wheel 14 is loose thereon, being geared to the shaft 8 by spur gearing 15, 16. Alternatively, the shaft of the driving-pinion may be connected to the disk by a friction drive.

Abstract: 11,959. Spensley, J. W., Battersby, J. W., and Holmes, E. S. May 14. Cleansing-compositions.-Alkali silicates in a hydrated soluble form, for admixture with washing-soda, soaps, disinfectants, &c., are prepared from the fused material in lumps or in the granular form obtained by pouring the molten mass into water, by subjecting it in a rotary vessel to the grinding action of moving bodies such as flints or artificial stone pieces in the presence of water. The product may be poured off in a semi-liquid form and may be allowed to solidify in moulds into blocks which can be readily pulverized, or may be left in the grinding-apparatus until it has solidified in the form of a powder. Colouring-matters may be added. The additional substances may be added in the grinding-apparatus; and any gas may be introduced into the apparatus for excluding air or acting upon the product, and the products may be used in powder or tablet form. In the latter case, the small quantity of flint that becomes pulverized is an advantageous ingredient for scouring purposes. When the ' neutral ' silicate is treated, more soda or caustic soda may be added if a silicate having an excess of alkali is required.

Abstract: 23,563. Cleuet, V., and Bonneuil, G. Dec. 17, 1913, [Convention date]. Electro-magnetic interrupters; locking.-A polarized electro-magnet for electric bell-ring- ing apparatus and other mechanism is so constructed that it can effectively operate its armature only when current is flowing in a given direction, current flowing in the opposite direction operating means to lock the armature. In the construction shown, a permanent magnet 3 is arranged beneath the coils of the electro-magnet and is provided with a pivoted pole-piece 4. When the current flows in a given direction and the pole-piece 4 is attracted by the pole-piece 1 a recess 6 in the armature 5 registers with the pole-piece 4. With the current flowing in the opposite direction, the pole-piece 4 cannot enter the recess 6 so that the armature 5 is locked. In a modification, a recess is formed in the pole-piece 4 and a projection on the armature 5. The polarized ringing-apparatus may be substituted for the polarized relay used in telegraphy and telephony.
