Abstract: 3181. Landreth, C. P. Feb. 21, 1913, [Convention date]. Liquids, treating; preparing surfaces; connexions; electrolytes, agitating. - Water or other liquid is softened by the addition of an alkaline hydrate, such as lime, soda, or potash, before, during, or after electrolysis, sufficient alkali being used to render the liquid permanently alkaline. A salt such as sodium or magnesium chloride may also be added. Some or all of the electrodes may be of carbon, platinum, or other inert material, or of iron, steel, copper, manganese, aluminium, or other metal giving a hydrate useful as precipitant. A part of the liquid may be treated and subsequently added to the main body. After treatment, precipitated matter is allowed to settle or filtered off. Iron and other electrodes are protected from oxidation when not in use. In the apparatus shown, horizontal electrode plates E forming baffles for the liquid are arranged in sets in a deep tank, through which the liquid flows upwards. Rotating arms 29 between the electrodes agitate the liquid and keep the electrodes free from bubbles and deposits. At the top or any other part of the tank is placed a plate E', which, when the apparatus is out of use, is connected to all the electrodes, a battery being interposed or the plate E<1> being made of zinc or other electropositive metal, so that the electrodes are electro-negative and are protected. A single switch may, in one position, make these connexions, and in another position, connect the electrodes to the main source of current. The electrodes in each set may be alternately in parallel, or only the top and bottom electrodes of the set may have external connexions, the others being bipolar. The sets are connected in series.

Granted: 1915-08-19
Abstract: 24,796. Abraham, L. March 28, [Convention date]. [Addition to 22,485/14.] Returning sound-box to starting point.-The mechanism described in the parent Specification and in Specification 24,300/14 for returning the soundbox to starting position at the end of the playing of a record is modified by using a pawl capable of both sliding and pivotal movement, and by mounting the cams on a weighted block resting on, and driven by, the record. The circular track 25 and spiral track 26 for restoring the sound-box to starting position are adjustably secured to a vertical shaft 23, which is rotated by the frictional engagement of a block 20 with the upper surface of the disk record 13. The catch 36 fur co-operating with the tracks 25, 26 is mounted between parallel plates 34 secured to an arm 33 adjustably clamped to the goose-neck 16 near its pivot 17. The catch 36, Fig. 3, is formed of bent wire with a hook-shaped head 41 and with two parallel portions 37, 38 adapted to slide on cross-pins 35, 35<a> between the plates 34, and the sliding movement is limited by a bar 39. As the head 41 reaches the bevel rim 25<a> of the track 25 during the playing of a record, the arms 37, 38 slide on the pins 35, 35<a> until the bar 39 engages the pin 35<a> and the pin 35 is opposite a bent portion 40 of the lower arm 38. Further inward motion of the sound-box tilts the catch 36 and causes the head 41 to rise over the bevel rim 25<a>. As this rim rotates, the spiral track 26 engages the head 41, first sliding back the catch 36 into initial position between the plates 34, then lifting the sound-box from the record and swinging it outwards towards the starting position, and finally, as the head 41 rides on to the yielding outer end 26<a> of the track, allowing the reproducing-needle of the sound-box to engage the record at the starting position.

Title: Improvements in Electric Fire Alarum Contact Makers.
Inventor: HISLOP ROBERT GILGOUR
IPC: G08B17/06
Filed: 1915-03-11
Granted: 1915-12-09
Abstract: 3860. Hislop, R. G. March 11. Retractive switches. - In fire-alarm switches of the type in which a circuit is automatically completed by breaking the glass in the lid of the switch-box, a lever i controlled by a pushbutton o is provided in order that the lid may be opened without operating the switch. The spring e normally tends to raise the plunger a and contact plate b to close the circuit; but when the lid is open, this movement is prevented by the lever i, one end of which engages the contact plate b, while the other end engages the push-button o, the spring p of which overpowers the spring e. A false alarm may be given for purposes of fire-drill in schools or other institutions by depressing the push-button o when the lid is open. When the lid is closed, the framework of the lid presses down the push-button o and relieves the pressure of the lever on the contact plate b, so that the plunger a can rise to complete the circuit when the glass is broken.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Ammonium Nitrate.
Inventor: GIDDEN WILLIAM THOMAS
IPC: C01C1/18
Filed: 1915-04-22
Granted: 1915-04-22
Abstract: 6048. Gidden, W. T. April 22. Ammonium nitrate is obtained by blowing gaseous ammonia through a small quantity of water or solution of nitric acid, ammonia, or ammonium nitrate, and simultaneously introducing nitric acid of not less than 65 per cent but preferably 75-77 per cent strength. The process may be carried out in a closed vessel 9 provided with stirrers 3, a small quantity of wrater, nitric acid, or solution of ammonia, or ammonium nitrate being first introduced, after which gaseous ammonia and nitric acid of the above-mentioned strength are simultaneously introduced at 1' and 2 respectively, the rates of feed being adjusted to produce and maintain a temperature of 145,1550 C. while the mixture is kept slightly acid. The reaction mixture is finally neutralized and runs off at 8 as fused ammonium nitrate. When acid of 75-77 per cent is uesd, the water present in the product can be kept below 2 per cent, and may be reduced below 0-5 per cent by blowing air at 160‹ C. from a pipe 4 through the fused material. A further removal of water may be effected by breaking up the hot solidified product, for instance in a disintegrator. Specification 11,731/88 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Grenades and the like.
Inventor: MILLS WILLIAM
IPC: F42C14/02
Filed: 1915-05-15
Abstract: 7301. Mills, W. May 15. Projectile fuses.-Relates to grenades provided with an external lever adapted to be released when the grenade is thrown for firing the fuse, and consists in delaying the action by means of clock-work. As shown in Fig. 2, the lever d is formed with a rack h concentric with its pivot e and in gear with a clock-work train m controlled by an escapement r. The lever is normally locked by a pin s which is inserted into a hole in the wall of the grenade and through one of the holes t in the lever, the provision of several holes t allowing the effective length of the rack h, and therefore the timedelay, to be regulated. The escapement is arranged to work in one direction only, so that the grasping of the grenade for throwing it after the removal of the pin s will not interfere with the time-setting. The clock-work is carried in a casing x, which is secured to the grenade by screws v, the screws passing through elongated slots in the clock-work casing to enable the clock-work to be moved away from the rack h when this is to be adjusted. In a modification, the lever d always lies against the grenade body, and the time is regulated by adjusting the position of the clock-work relatively to the rack h, for example by inserting washers of various thicknesses around the stems of the screws v between the clockwork casing and the grenade body.

Title: Thermal transfer film and method for forming image
Inventor: TORII MASANORI
IPC: B41M5/382
Filed: 2000-01-18
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To clearly print without void on a printed product, to satisfactorily stably coat and to further incorporate a secret leakage preventing function in the case of forming an intermediate layer, a colored layer on a base material film. SOLUTION: The thermal transfer film comprises a colored layer provided on a base material film through an intermediate layer. In this case, the intermediate layer contains a polycaprolactone resin having a melt viscosity of 100 to 1,000 mPa.s at 75 deg.C and a binder resin having an extrapolation melting starting temperature of 130 to 400 deg.C. Thus, even when a site applied by an energy of the intermediate layer is cooled to a certain degree for a period from printing to releasing, it is the state that an interface to the colored layer is melted by supercooling of a polycaprolactone resin and the low viscosity state, the colored layer is released from the film by a low releasing force, transferred to a sheet to be transferred, and hence a good printed product having a few voids is obtained by antique paper.
