Abstract: 16,835. Saul, H L., Blyth, H. C. W., and Lepard, T. July 19. Luggage-carriers. - In a luggage-carrier for carrying fragile articles upon bicycles, an upper frame or tray A to receive the goods is supported by springs or pistons C upon a lower frame B, which is connected to the fork crown by rubber or like covered studs R and to the lamp bracket by four rods E and a cross-bar L. In cases wherein the top of the fork crown is not flat, a small plate is screwed to the forks to provide a flat surface for fixing the carrier. The tray has side springs G to clip the goods, the springs being slotted, if desired, to take straps. The front spring may carry the lamp instead of the usual bracket. A rear spring K is also provided.

Title: Improvements relating to the Treatment of Refractory Zinc-lead Ores.
Inventor: ISHERWOOD PERCY CLAUDE CAMERON
Filed: 1909-09-21
Granted: 1910-10-21
Abstract: 21,584. Isherwood, P. C. C. Sept. 21. Zinc sulphate and basic sulphate.-Refractory zinc-lead ores are roasted so as to produce, the maximum amount of sulphates together with some oxides, and the zinc is then dissolved out by less than the theoretical amount of sulphuric acid at high temperature and pressure. In these circumstances, the excess of zinc oxide dissolves in the zinc-sulphate solution, and on cooling, a basic sulphate separates. Should too much acid have been used so that the solution contains iron, this can be removed by treating the solution with more ore under the above-described conditions.

Abstract: 24,134. Manders, H. Oct. 20. Discharge-gap apparatus; wireless telephony and telegraphy.-In apparatus of the Duddell type, the arc is in series with an electro-magnet, which is connected to one of the electrodes of the arc, and is adapted to regulate the distance between the electrodes. The upper electrode E<1> of the arc is supported with the plate P<2> from the plate P<1> by three springs, of which two S', S<2> are shown. The other electrode E' is supported by the arm D, which is adjusted by the milled head H. The current passes from the terminal C through the springs S<1>, S<2>, arc E', E<2>, lead F, and magnet M to the terminal N<2>. The core M of the magnet regulates the arc distance. The inductance and capacity are connected across the terminals C and I. The casing containing the arc may be filled with a dielectric of air, nitrogen, or carbonic acid, or of petroleum or an alcohol. In the latter case, a siphon or pump may be arranged to cause the liquid to flow across the electrodes. For telephony, a manometric flame is placed within the arc, and a gas is passed through perforations in the electrode.

Abstract: 25,232. Dobson, W. H. Nov. 2. Paddle-wheels.-In a submerged paddle-wheel having feathering blades, the blades e, e<1> are carried by a rotary drum c, which is mounted on the end of the propeller shaft a with its outer face flush with the outer surface of the hull r. When the propeller is working, water passes from outside the hull between the drum c and a fixed stepped barrel q into a trough s, whence it is removed by pumps. When the propeller is not working, water may be excluded by rotating a threaded ring y, thus causing the coned face of a ring u to engage with a coned face t on the drum c. The spindles d of the blades e, e' pass through stuffing-boxes g and rotate in bearings formed in radial arms f<1>, which are fixed to the shaft a and to the drum c. The blades are rotated on their axes at half the angular velocity of the shaft a by means of epicyclic gearing w<1>, x<1>, x<2>, the sun-pinion x<1> of which is normally held stationary by a rack or worm engaging a wheel w<2>, which may thus be rotated in order to reverse the propeller. The propellers may be fitted under the quarters of a vessel, or at the sides, in which case the hull may be built out over the propellers to afford protection.

Abstract: 499. Korwin, J. von. Oct. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, construction of; steering.-The supporting- plane 9 of an aerial machine comprises two planes 10, 11 of different dimensions from back to front connected together at their forward edges to form a sharp angle. The upper plane is curved upwardly as far back as the rear edge of the lower plane, and then continues parallel to the lower plane. The lower plane 11 strikes the air directly, and partly conceals the lower side of the plane 10, on the rear of which the air impinges after passing the plane 11. The area of the plane 10 acted on by the air increases with the incidence of the plane, so that the centre of pressure moves rearward as the angle of incidence increases, and produces stability of the machine. An adjustable tail plane 13 and rudder 15 are arranged at the rear of the body which comprises longitudinal members 5, constituted each of two bars connected together, and a bottom web 6.

Granted: 1912-02-06
Abstract: 2923. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. Feb. 6. Sights and methods of sighting.-Relates to telescope sights of the kind in which the eyepiece does not move in elevation with the gun, but a prism or reflector at the object glass end of the telescope is rotated about an horizontal axis for the range-adjustment independently of the gun, and is rotated in the reverse direction when the gun is elevated. The invention consists in lever mechanism arranged between the gun and the holder for the prism or reflector, comprising a lever attached to the holder and connected either directly, or through an intermediate link, with a second lever which is movable relatively to the gun for the rangeadjustment, and with the gun when this is elevated. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 3, as applied to a periscope sight, the upper prism a<1> is carried in a rotatable holder a<1Î> journaled in the end of the vertical tube A of the periscope A, A'. The periscope is rotatable, for lateral corrections, about its vertical axis in bearings in the fixed bracket A<0>. Two arm A<1Î> are connected at their upper ends to the prism-holder a<1Î>, and are joined together at their lower ends to form a lever (the " periscope lever ") for rotating the holder. A second lever AX (the " gun lever "), pivoted co-axial with the gun trunnions c‹ and connected by a universal joint to a radial pin a<2> at the lower end of the periscope lever A<1Î>, is of such length that, if rotated sufficiently, its outer end would pass through the axis of rotation of the prism-holder. The lever A<Î> has an arm A<3> carrying the range-dial C and the sightelevating gear C<0>, C<1>, c<1>, c, c<2Î>, C<2>, whereby the lever is adjusted for range relatively to a member C<2Î> fixed to the gun trunnion c<0>, and transmits to the prism a<1> an angular adjustment equal to one-half that of the lever A<Î> relatively to the member C<2Î>. The elevation of the gun moves the member C<2Î>, and with it the levers A<Î>, A<1Î>, and turns the prism-holder back again, to bring the line of sight on to the target. The worm spindle C' of the sight-elevating gear carries a second worm C<3> which drives a wormwheel B'. The rotation of this worm-wheel effects, through a screw-and-nut device, a lateral displacement of the shaft b' of a worm b which is geared with a toothed sector A<3Î> on the periscope A, and thereby effects the drift correction. The worm b and deflexion dial B are rotatable by hand to effect the corrections for speed of ship &c. The member C<2Î>, or an equivalent part, may be mounted in a position remote from the trunnion c<0>, in which case it is connected to the trunnion by a parallel motion.
