Patent GB-191209941-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Electric Incandescence Filaments or Bodies.
Inventor: HANSEN FRIEDRICH
IPC: H01K3/02
Filed: 1912-04-26
Granted: 1913-04-28
Abstract: 9941. Hansen, F., and Mohr, W. F. April 26. Filaments are made hy a paste process from a compound of tungsten and boron prepared as described below. The compound has a higher resistance than pure tungsten, and is obtained as a dark grey or black powder, having a sp. g. of 12-16 and burning if heated above 150‹ C'. in air. It may be squirted with a thick collodion paste, the resulting filaments being carbonized in a vacuum by heating to 850‹ C. and decarbonized and sintered, also in a vacuum, by passage of current. In making the compound, tungsten trioxide is saturated with a hot solution of boric acid, dried, and heated to 700‹ C., the product being reduced by heating with zinc to 1,100‹ C., and subsequently freed from zinc, washed, and dried. According to the Provisional Specification, a mixture of tungsten and boron may be made into filaments or heated previously to form a compound. Also, tungsten may be replaced by tantalum, osmium, tellurium, and the like. Filaments, attaching.-These filaments may be clamped to leading-in wires, but the clips or holders should consist of chromium-nickelsteel or copper, and not of platinum.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Axle Trucks for Railway Tramway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: PECKHAM EDGAR
IPC: B61F5/32

Granted: 1914-06-11
Abstract: 13,548. Peckham, E., and Thomas, S. June 11. Axle-trucks and bogies.-In axle-trucks comprising a main structure b suspended from the axle-boxes in a manner to permit of radiation of the axles and provided with sub-trucks or axle-frames carrying the brakes and motors, the structure b is carried by springs d<1> upon an arc-shaped member d forming a guide for rollers d<2> mounted in a stirrup f pivoted at c<1> to a link e hanging from the axle-box. Traction connexion between the sub-trucks and the structure b is provided by a slotted plate p and roller r secured respectively to these members. For correlating the radial movements of the sub-trucks, a pair of cables k, k1 extends from their inner corners and passes over pulleys k<1>, k<1>1 on one side of the main structure b to spring devices k<2>, k<2>1 attached to the opposite side of the structure b. The arrangement is such that upon entering a curve radiation of the leading sub-truck compresses one of the springs, say k<2>, and slackens the cable k attached to the trailing sub-truck, rendering it free to radiate also upon reaching the curve. The spring acts to return both sub-trucks upon reentering a straight track. For a curve in the opposite direction, the system k1, k<2>1 is operated. The brake mechanism comprises rods l connected by a flexible member passing round pulleys upon the sway-bar m, and each engaging by a roller l<1> a curved plate g operating the shaft g<2> mounted on the sub-truck and connected with the brake-blocks. The movement of the sub-trucks cannot. thus interfere with the operation of the brakes.

Abstract: 24,481. Patrone, G. Oct. 29, 1912, [Convention date]. Ratchet gearing.-Relates to means for transforming reciprocating into continuous rotary motion, and consists in inserting one or more springs in a single length of wire or rope passing round the driven pulley or the like, both the extremities of the rope being connected to the driving-member. As shown in Fig. 1, a wire 1 passes from an oscillating beam 2, first round the driven drum 4, then round a drum 6. again round the drum 4 in the reverse direction. and back to the beam 2. Springs 7 are interposed in the lengths of the wire between the drums 4, 6. The two portions of the wire alternately drive the drum 4 and slip thereon, according to the direction of movement of the beam 2. The device shown in Fig. 1 is preferably duplicated, the two portions differing in phase. In a modification, the pulley 6 is dispensed with. In another modification, Fig. 7, a disk 2 replaces the beam 2 of Fig. 1. As shown, the uniformly rotating cam 13 drives a rod 14<1> which slides in an adjustable guide and is pivoted to a crank 18, which transmits reciprocating movements to the disk 2 by means of a crank 22 and rods 23.

Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 580. Wolff, B. Jan. 8. Working-fluid supply.-Turbines or other engines are driven by a liquid which is actuated partly by periodic gas explosions and partly by the vapour of a constant volume of liquid having a low boiling-point, the latter liquid being alternately vaporized by the heat of the explosions and condensed. The turbine f is driven by mercury, which subsequently falls into the casing extension s and thence by way of the valve t into a chamber n. From here, the mercury is forced past a valve o into a container a by the explosion of a mixture of hot air and gas supplied through a valve m. The air is supplied from a reservoir v connected with a compressor k actuated by the turbine, and the gas is supplied by a pipe l<1>. The chamber n is provided with an exhaust valve z. The heat of the explosion partly vaporizes the layer of liquid carbon dioxide c which floats on a quantity of mercury b in the container a, and the pressure of the vapour together with the pressure due to the explosion forces the mercury through a pipe e to the turbine f, a valve d controlling the pipe e. The container a is periodically cooled so as to condense the vaporized carbon dioxide by the expansion in the jacket p of air supplied from the reservoir v by a pipe x controlled by a valve y. The valves y, d, m, z, t are operated through suitable gearing, as shown, from the turbine shaft u.
