Granted: 1913-11-21
Abstract: 26,791. Stone & Co., J., and MacCormac, E. C. Nov. 21. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic.- Direct air-pressure apparatus of the float-control type has accelerating- devices, such as springs or pneumatic plungers, for the valve mechanism, and also means whereby a group or battery of ejectors gives continuous working. The inlet and exhaust valves s, s<1> for air, Fig. 1, are operated by a balanced rod e which is moved by a float rod a and carried quickly over its centre by a rolling weight o, the motion of which is accelerated by spring buffers p. In a modification, Fig. 9, the float red carries two pawls or tumblers which engage the stems of auxiliary valves controlling plungers 9, 10 on opposite sides of the rod and underneath the arms 13, 14 of the balanced rod or rocking lever. The sewage or like liquid may be controlled in duplex installations by similar apparatus, pneumatic plungers acting on a throw-over pivoted supply valve in accordance with the movement of the fleat and balanced rod. In another form, Fig. 10, the pivoted valve is replaced by a ball valve 45 which is thrown over by pneumaticallyoperated plungers 40, 39, and alternately covers and uncovers the supply pipes 32, 33. For sequential working of a battery of ejectors, each supply pipe has its own ball control operated by plungers as above. In an installation as in Fig. 13, the rocking- arm e carries a depending piece 51, from which a rod 52 passes to a sliding rod 53 with tapered ends which act on the air-admission and exhaust valve stems. The admission and exhaust valves may be combined in one valve-chest 68, Fig. 14. A diaphragm 60 operating the valve stem 64 is controlled by pilot valves coupled at 62, 63. The inlet 69 and exhaust 70 communicate with the ejector passage 71 by ports and passages which are controlled by piston valves 65, 66. A dash-pot 81 is provided.

Abstract: 25,144. Ashcroft, E. A. Nov. 4. Alkali metals, alloys, and non-metallic substances, obtaining.-A fused caustic alkali is electrolyzed with a cathode containing fused heavy metal such as lead, at a temperature not lower than 400‹ C., for instance one between 400‹ and 500‹ C., so that the water formed at the anode escapes, and loss of efficiency by the production of hydrogen at the cathode is checked. Both the cathode metal and the electrolyte, which forms a thin layer on the metal, are agitated, say by magnetic stirring, and a high current density is used at the anode. Apparatus comprising primary and secondary cells in one casting, as described in Specifications 1001/12 to 1005/12, may be modified for the present process by omitting the earthenware lining and replacing the graphite anode of the primary cell by one of nickel or other metal, having a number of points distributed over the cathode area and attached to an annular plate. Steam and alkali spray escape to a condensing-chamber. The cell is cleaned at intervals. A current of 1000 amperes at 5 volts may be used, with a current density of 400-600 amperes per sq. decimetre of anode surface. Besides being stirred, the electrolyte is circulated through both cells by a pump. In the secondary cell, which may also be independent of the primary cell, alkali metal, or amides, cyanamides, cyanides, or like compounds, may be made. Specifications 13,356/90, 12,377/03, and 5648/05 are also referred to.

Abstract: 12,164. Dapino, E. May 16. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Actuating. - A spring - pressed valve l is mounted in a rapidly disconnectible coupling which comprises a socket, Fig. 1, screwed into the service main and a removable spigot, Fig. 4, which has a cam surface y adapted to coact with a similar cam q on the valve. After the spigot has been thrust in, it is rotated without axial movement, through an angle determined by a bayonet slot s in the socket and the action of the cams moves the valve from its seating h. The spigot carries a bayonet pin z on the part t that enters the socket. The valve is guided by a tail rod m passing through a bridge-piece c screwed on to the socket, and the portion o on which the cam q is formed is of square section running in a square guideway q so that the valve is free to move axially without rotation. The fluid passes through holes j, v formed respectively around the guide g and in the end of the spigot.
