Abstract: 26,367. Ayrton, H. Nov. 17. Arc lamps.-A metal electrode-holder is protected by a carbon or other refractory shield or sheath, so that electrodes can be burnt short. At its end nearest the arc, the sheath may be flanged. Fig. 5 shows the sheath d fitted on an electrode c entering an ordinary holder; the sheath may, however, be carried by the holder. The holder may consist of a split rod b<1>, Fig. 1, entering a hole in the electrode, and surrounded outside the electrode by the sheath d. A screw, which may be of the kind used for wood, may replace the split rod ; the sheath is then secured in the holder arm a. A cross-pin may pass through the upper part of the screw and the sheath to prevent relative rotation. A piece of asbestos or other refractory material may be attached to the end of the split rod or screw or otherwise arranged so as to protect the end from the arc. The screw or split rod may be formed by the end of a bent bracket arm. The ends of the electrode and sheath may be made conical so as to fit together; or the sheath may be stepped so as to fit over the electrode. Reference is made to a holder consisting of two semicircular pieces of carbon with two metallic plates attached by screw bolts.

Title: Improvements in Electromagnetic Devices for Setting in Vibration the Sonorous Members of Keyboard Instruments and in particular Piano-strings.
Inventor: MAITRE ALCIDE HECTOR
IPC: G10H3/22
Filed: 1914-02-20
Abstract: 4471. Ma¯tre, A. H., and Martin, V. H. G. Feb. 20. Electro-magnetic interrupters.-In electromagnetic arrangements for setting in vibration sonorous members in a keyboard instrument, such as the strings of a piano, comprising a principal electro-magnet acting upon the sonorous member and an auxiliary electro-magnet acting upon an interrupter, a pianissimo effect is obtained by an increase in the resistance of the circuit of the main principal electromagnet without materially changing the attractive force of the auxiliary electro-magnet. In the form shown in Fig. 1, one of the interrupter contacts c<1>, preferably formed of a bundle of wires twisted together, is carried by an arm C pivoted at c, the other contact a being clamped between springs F, F', which are mounted on, but insulated from, a support M. The shaft 2 of a fly-wheel 1 carried bv a fork 3 bears upon a circular arc 11 formed on the arm C and serves to damp the vibrations of the arm. The arm C carries an armature G which is acted on by an electro-magnet having two windings e, eR in series with the winding of, the principal electro-magnet E. The arrangement of the circuits is shown in Fig. 7. The winding eR is shortcircuited to produce the forte effect, but can be thrown into circuit to produce the pianissimo effect by separating contacts c<2>, c<3>, a series of contacts c<2>, c<3> for different notes being mounted on a bar N and actuated by means of wires N<2> carried on a sliding bar N' controlled by a pedal n<1>. A spring N<4> returns the bar N' to its initial position and allows the circuit to be completed at the contacts c<2>, c<3> when the pedal is depressed to give the forte effect, the pedal being held in the depressed position, if desired, by a notch n<6>. Several successive pianissimo effects may be obtained by providing a number of coils eR and a series of contacts for shortcircuiting them. In the arrangements shown in Fig. 10, two electro-magnets e, e' are provided to actuate the interrupter arm. The electromagnet e is in parallel with the principal electro-magnet E, and the electro-magnet e<1> is of high resistance and is placed in shunt across the interrupter contacts a, c'. Either one or both electro-magnets may be used, the arrangement of circuits when both are used being shown in Fig. 16. The resistance of the electro-magnet e<1> is so high that the attractive force of the electro-magnet is not materially affected by the introduction of the resistance for producing pianissimo effects. In all the forms shown, a resistance R' is provided to minimize sparking at the contacts a, c'. Specification 3585/14 is referred to.

Granted: 1915-05-17
Abstract: 12,135. Thum, W. May 16. Matte processes for copper, bismuth, &c.-In a process for separating bismuth and copper from materials containing them, the material is oxidized if necessary, crushed, and mixed with an alkali sulphur compound and carbon and smelted to produce copper matte and crude bismuth, which are tapped off separately, the amounts of alkali sulphur compound and carbon used being largely in excess of those theoretically necessary. The crude bismuth may be again oxidized and smelted with more alkali sulphur compound and carbon, the resulting bismuth and copper matte being separated. Silver, gold, or other metals present in the original material are mainly contained in the crude bismuth, and the reoxidation may be stopped when a small part uf the bismuth remains unoxidized, the gold and silver being thereby recovered and refined. The crude bismuth may be refined electrolytically.
