Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 10,041. Malachowski, H. Sept. 3, 1909, [Convention date]. Filaments; residual gases.-Carbon filaments are coated with arsenic or antimony by flashing in arsine or stibine, after immersion in acetic acid, and may subsequently be coated with carbon by flashing in a hydrocarbon if the finished lamps contain mercury, to protect the metal coating from the mercury vapour. The filaments preferably are made by the zinc-chloride process. Lamps of U-shape may be used, and the flashing may take place in them or in separate vessels. A drop of mercury may be introduced into each lamp, which is then highly exhausted, so that in use the mercury volatilises quickly and its vapour becomes incandescent.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Packing Nitro-glycerin Compounds or similar Explosives into Cartridge Cases.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: B29D22/04
Filed: 1910-09-28
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 22,525. Boult, A. J., [Stillwell, H. A.]. Sept. 28. Tamping-machines.-Relates to machines for packing dynamite and like explosives in cartridge cases, and particularly of the kind of machine in which reciprocating tamps are provided with friction gripping-devices and means for holding each tamp out of action as soon as the corresponding cartridge case is full, and for returning all the tamps to operative position after the loading of a set of cartridge cases is complete. According to the invention, wear is obviated by a release of the frictional grip on each tamp as soon as its cartridge case is full. Each tamp b carries a piece 7 having two projections 8, 9. When a cartridge case is full, the projection 9 of the corresponding tamp deflects a lever and releases a pin 5 on a slide v. which is pushed forward by a spring 10 and catches beneath the projection 8. A lug w on the slide comes in the path of a rod s, so that, on the next downward motion of a cross-head c, the friction grip l is wedged out. To return the parts to the original position, compressed air is admitted to cylinders 2, 16, whereupon a shaft z rocks and draws back the slide v by means of lugs y, x. and a bar 15 is rocked about an axis 14 and comes over the ends r of the rods s, so that, on the next upward motion of the cross-head c, the rods s are pushed down, and the grips l again brought into action by springs n.

Abstract: 9941. Spezialfabrik f³r Aluminium- Spulen und Leitungen Ges. April 25, 1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 20,634/10.] Conductors.-In the method of protecting the oxide or like insulation on coils described in the parent Specification, a liquid is used which forms both an insulating-layer on the wire and a protective coating on the insulation. Liquids, such as fats, oils, resins, salts, varnishes, &c., containing ingredients which act on the surface of the metal, and which may or may not require heat either for their oxidizing or like action or for their solidifying action, are applied to the coils with or without pressure or vacuum. If the liquid has no oxidizing or like action, suitable chemically reacting substances, for example water, are added. If the action be dependent upon heat, it may be renewed by subsequent heating of the conductor. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that wires or strips may be treated by this method by drawing the wire through the liquid; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 20,380. Bryan, A., and Mountfort, L. F. Sept. 7. [Addition to 3699/12.] Actuating.-In apparatus as described in the parent Specification for intermittently operating sewage or like valves and comprising a rotary non-reversing valve element placed alternately in the open and closed positions by means of a one-way clutch, the driving-element of which is actuated by electric, hydraulic, or other power, the elements of the clutch are made to interlock positively, when engaged, so that no relative or overrunning movement can occur between the valve and the actuating-gear. As shown in Fig. 1, the driven element of the clutch consists of a disk a keyed to the valve spindle band provided with square notches a<1>, in which there engages a spring-controlled pawl c on an arm c' oscillated on the spindle b by means of a quadrant d engaging with a rack d<1> connected to a plunger e operated by hydraulic or electric means. When the plunger commences its return stroke, a cam g engages the end of a lever f fulcrummed on the arm c' and withdraws the pawl c from the notch in which it is engaged so that the arm can make an idle return stroke. The arrangement will retain the valve in either open or closed positions if the plunger is maintained stationary at either end of its stroke. Fig. 3 shows modified apparatus in which the arm c' is oscillated by means of a continuously or intermittently rotated crank-plate e<1> and a connecting-rod e. The lever f is turned by means of a lever h the other arm of which engages with a cam g on the crank-plate. As shown in Fig. 10 the clutch bolt c is formed with a forked inner end which embraces a pheripheral flange a<2> on the disk a and is provided with lugs c<3>, which engage with slots or gaps in the flange when the bolt is drawn outwards under the influence of a spring c<4>. The driven element is released when a lever presses the bolt inwards. An arrangement for giving intermittent motion to a valve spindle b by means of a rotating wheel c is shown in Fig. 11. The pawl c is carried on the face of the wheel and in the position shown is about to be moved out of engagement by a cam g and lever f. The spindle b is then stationary until the pawl arrives at the notch 2. A quarter-revolution of the spindle follows, and the pawl is again released by a cam g<1>.
