Patent GB-190901121-A (GB)
Title: Improved Siphon Apparatus for Producing Increased Fall in Systems of Drainage.
Inventor: SACHON CARL
Filed: 1909-01-16
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 1121. Sachon, C. Jan. 16. Siphons.-Relates to siphonic apparatus for producing increased fall in drainage systems. The action is started by pumping water into the containing chamber o from outside. As the water rises between the cone s and the bell b, air is compressed inside the bell, and the upper part c, which is connected to the lower by a flexible pipe e is raised, carrying with it a rubber seat f from the mouth of the pipe g; water then flows along this pipe, starting the siphon. The cover is balanced by a weight l and is guided by vertical guide-rods m, n. In case the level inside sinks below that outside the chamber, valves r<2>, q<2> are opened.

Title: Improvements in Semaphore Signals for Railway Signalling.
Inventor: SEGET EDWARD
IPC: B61L5/16
Filed: 1909-08-16
Granted: 1910-11-16
Abstract: 18,831. Seget, E. Aug. 16. Visual outdoor signals.-A weight-driven semaphore is stopped in its two positions by a pair of locking-levers, held by the armature of an electromagnet, which withdraws one locking-lever and sets the other each time it is energized or deenergized. Means are provided for replacing the locking-levers immediately after their release. The lever 10 on the shaft 8, which is driven by a rope 36 passing over a drum 2, has two projections turned in opposite directions so as to each engage one of two stops 11, 12. The stops are pivoted on a spindle, and the end of the lever 10 resting on the top of the rod 12 tends to turn the rod, but this movement is prevented by the lever 15 connected to the Z-shaped armature of the electro-magnet 18. When the magnet 18 is energized, the lever 15 is moved, and the lever 10 turns under the action of the weight, and, when the end is clear of the rod 12, this rod is re-set by the pin 46 ergaging the projection 48. The lever 10 rotates until its other end meets a second stop 11, which is held by the lever 15 so long as the magnet is energized. To put the signal to the danger, the magnet is deenergized, and the weight 37 moves the signal to danger. The shaft 8 moves the rod 20 through an eccentric disk. A toothed wheel 43 is moved by a tooth on the rope drum and opens the circuit of the electro-magnet by rocking the lever 42 when the rope is unwound from the drum 2. In order to place the signal at 'danger' if the rope breaks, the rope is led over a pulley 31 on a counterweighted arm, which keeps the lever 21 locked to the lever 24 by a clutch sliding on the spindle 22 ; but if the rope breaks, the counterweight acts to disengage the levers 21, 24 and the arm goes to danger under its own weight.

Abstract: 30,379. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin and Soda Fabrik]. Dec. 29. Sodium, zinc-sodium, and other hyposulphites.- Hyposulphites containing water are rendered anhydrous by treatment with ammonia, at a temperature above the dehydration temperature of the hyposulphite. The ammonia solution is separated by filtration or the like. An alkali, an alkali salt, or an ammonium salt may be added, and, when other than alkali hyposulphites are being treated, the presence of the alkali salt produces anhydrous alkali hyposulphite. In the examples, ammonia is caused to act at various specified temperatures on an aqueous sodium hyposulphite paste ; on an alcoholic sodium hyposolphite paste ; on a mixture of hydrated sodium hyposulphite and sodium or ammonium chloride ; on a mixture of ammonia solution, ammonium chloride, zinc-sodium hyposulphite, and caustic soda ; and on a mixture of ammonia solution and zinc-sodium hyposulphite.

The work is held up to the edge of the plate 71 by the concave.lip 83 of a plate 81 pivoted to a leverarm 79 freely mounted on a rod 74, and is further controlled by the curved shoe of a presser-foot 77. The presser-foot and the rod 74 are carried by a usual spring-pressed presserbar d. The plate 81 is urged towards the work by a spring 83<Î>, and its final position is positively adjusted by a rod 86 adjustably fixed to the rod 74. The arm 57 carrying the benderplate 71 is pivoted to a lever 54, which is pivoted at 56 to a fixed frame 44. The lever 54 has an extension 67 abutting upon the end of a screw 68, by which its position is adjusted. The arm 57 is urged to move about the pivot 55 by a spring - pressed tube 48; the pressure of the spring being adjustable by means of a screwed sleeve 51. The arm is turned in opposition to the spring, in order to release the work, by a rod 59 within the tube 48 when a cam-plate 62 fixed to the rod, is turned relative to a fixed cam-plate 63. Cords &c., attaching.-A tape is led through a guide 83 carried by the plate 81, and is delivered so as to lie upon the bent portion of the work and be secured by the stitching.

A lever 14 on the lower end of the shaft 4 is linked bv a rod 15 to the stitchforming devices, which are thereby moved in synchronism with the needle vibrations. The shaft 4 and its levers are vibrated by a slotted lever 13 through a rod 5. The lever 13 is forked below to embrace an eccentric 12 on a short vertical shaft 7, which is geared by skew-wheels 10 to the main shaft e. Feed by dog.-The feed is reversed by shifting the connexion of the feed-shaft 28, Fig. 10, from one to the other of two levers 26, 27, which receive their motions from opposite arms 22, 23 of a lever 21. Each lever has a V-shaped tooth 31, and a sleeve 30 has corresponding notches 32. The sleeve can be moved laterally into engagement with one of the teeth by means of a rod 39, which passes into a central bore in the shaft 28 and presses upon a bolt or plate 38. The plate 38 is fixed to the sleeve and passes through a slot in the shaft. A spring keeps it in contact with the rod 39. The oscillating motion imparted to the sleeve is transmitted to the shaft by means of the plate 38.

Abstract: 25,049. Thorp, T., Thorp, F., and Thorp, H. T. Oct. 28. Atmospheric gas burners; burners, regulating. -Apparatus for regulating simultaneously the supplies of gas and compressed air to burners and of compressed air to the flame, and in which predetermined proportions thereof are maintained, comprises a casing divided into four compartments, namely, gas-inlet, mixing, air-inlet, and air-outlet chambers, and the valves connecting these are operated simultaneously. The device is applicable to calenderrollers, gas - fires, incandescent burners in lanterns, and other burners in enclosed spaces. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, gas passes from a chamber 7, and air from a chamber 9, to the mixing - chamber 8, and the mixture passes by a pipe 15 to the burner. Air also passes from the chamber 9 to a chamber 10, and then by a pipe 16 to the flame. The valves 11, 12, 13 are carried by a common spindle 14. Hit-and-miss valves 19, 20, adjusted by worms 21, 22, are provided on apertured cylinders 17, 18 in which the valves 11, 13 work, and serve to vary the proportion of gas in the mixtures and of the air supplied to the flame. According to a modification shown in Fig. 4, the mixing-chamber is formed between a plate 25 and the cover 27 of the casing, and gas and air pass to this from chambers 31, 36 respectively, through ports 33, 39 in the plate 25. The ports are simultaneously controlled by a rotary sector valve 41 operated by a spindle 53. The mixture passes through a port 47, a passage 46, and a pipe 50 to the burner. Air from the chamber 36 also passes through a port 40 and a chamber 42 in the valve 41 to a chamber 44, and by a pipe 45 to the flame. The pipe 45 may be within the pipe 50, as shown, which arrangement is suitable for calendar-rollers, or the pipes may be separate. The gas-port 33 may be adjusted by means of a slide 34, and the air-port 40 may be similarly adjusted. The gas and air are supplied under constant pressure, regulated by a governor such as described in Specification 22,134/06, [Class 135, Valves &c.].
