Abstract: 17,837. Lentz-Getriebe Ges., and Lentz, H. July 31. Dust-excluding casings.-The Cardan joints at each end of the rear driving-axles of motorvehicles in which the wheels are driven directly from rotary motors are enclosed so that they can run in oil baths. Fig. 1 shows a construction in which the driving-axles e<1>, e<2> are connected by Cardan joints to the inner walls of the pistons a', a<2> of rotary motors, and by similar joints f to the axle caps of the road wheels.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Reversing Mechanism for Dynamos.
Inventor: LEITNER HENRY
IPC: H02K23/18
Filed: 1909-10-08
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 23,042. Leitner, H. Oct. 8. Dynamos, regulating.-Consists in a rotating brush carrier and clutch device for automatically changing the connexions of a dynamo when its rotation is reversed and a limiting speed is reached. The brushes are carried by a cage-like frame a, Fig. 2, which is supported by bearing-surfaces b, c, in the machine casing, and has an annular clutch surface a'. The rotation of this frame is limited by the abutment of a block f on either of two springs stops g rigidly attached to the dynamo casing. The block is carried by arms f on the frame, and is of cylindrical wedge form, so that, by turning it and locking it at various angular positions on its spindle f<1>, the arc through which the brushes are rocked may be controlled. This device may be applied to variable-speed machines of the type described in Specification 9655/05. The clutch construction is shown in Figs. 3 and 4, which are sectional views on the lines 3 3 and 4 4 respectively. The sleeve i, which is keyed to the shaft, carries pivotally at j<2> the clutch members j, j<1>, which are normally pressed into engagement with the surfaces a<1> by a spring k. The sleeve also carries two weights l, l<1>, Fig. 4; which are pivoted to it at l<2> and are linked at m, m<1> to the clutch blocks j, j<1>, so that at a predetermined speed they overcome the spring and withdraw the blocks from the surface a<1> by centrifugal action, and the armature shaft runs free from contact with the brush-carrier a.

Patent GB-190928625-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Filters for Metallurgical and other uses.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1909-12-07
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 28,625. Justice, P. M., [Binney, H.]. Dec. 7. Bag filters.-Each leaf of a filter for use in connexion with ore treatment consists of tubular bags arranged side by side, so that a united layer of precipitate is collected on either side of the leaf. The frame of a leaf comprises horizontal members 13, 11 and vertical members 10, which divide the leaf into panels each containing, in the example shown, ten filter bags. The bags are supported on wooden forms having vertical grooves 33 and crosscbaunels 34. Each form consists of three pieces, the middle one wedge-sbaped and tapering downwards, so that, when it is pushed into position, the bag is stretched over the support, and so that the support can easily be removed from the bag for cleansing. The mouths of the bags are drawn tightly by means of strings around branches 17 of a suction pipe 15. The bags are held iu alinement by guide-bars 18, 19, the bars 19 being fixed and the bars 18 hinged, so that they can be swung outwards and upwards to allow the removal of the bags. It is arranged that, at starting, the bags are completely immersed in the liquid so that solid matter collects on the parts of the bags above the bars 18, 19 and forms a seal, which will not be removed later when the cakes below the bars are discharged by the backward passage of air or water. The lower member 11 of the leaf frame has vertical strips 12 of metal projecting at either side which form a groove to receive the lower ends of the bags, the forms within being correspondingly rabbeted. The uprights 10 are sufficiently wide to space the several leaves of the complete filter. In a modification, the draw-off tube passes down through the wedge-member of the form so that the liquid is sucked away from the bottom of the bag. An impervious section may be formed at the top of the bag by covering it with impervious paint.

Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: C11D13/18
Filed: 1910-06-16
Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 14,570. Lake, W. E., [Wright, R. H.]. June 16. Presses and moulding-machines with fixed mould tables or moulds.-A duplex soap press comprises a pair of pressing- dies 68, 69, carried by a reciprocating slide 76, co-operating with rear dies 171, 71, working in fixed mould-boxes 102, 202. Soap blanks are carried to the machine along a conveyer 37, and are fed in front of the dies by means of a feed-chain 45 carrying spring fingers 47, Fig. 3, which are deflected away from the blanks, when in front of the dies, by means of a guide 62. The chain 45 is carried by a swinging frame 51, which is adjustably supported by means of a catch 60 engaging with a curved rack 64. A crank 6, Fig. 2, on the main shaft 2 operates the slide 76 through a rod 7, and during the reciprocation of the slide, one of the dies 68 engages with a blank, and forces it into the corresponding mould 202. During compression, the rear die 71 is supported by a spring 29, and on the return movement of the slide, this die is moved forward to eject the moulded cake by means of a lever 13 operated by a cam-groove 11 in the slide. The plungers 68, 69 engage with alternate blanks. The rear dies 71, 171 are fitted with adjustable travelling-plungers 222, 221, which pass loosely through the dies, and are actuated by trip devices during the ejection movements of the dies so as to move through the dies and deliver the tablets. Spring fingers 57, 157 engage with and retain the delivered tablets, which are carried forward to delivery belts 156, 256 by chains 46, 146.

Patent GB-191020046-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Sodium
Inventor: EMANUEL PHILIP ALBERT
IPC: C22B26/10
Filed: 1910-08-27
Granted: 1911-08-28
Abstract: 20,046. Emanuel, P. A. Sept. 29, 1909, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Distilling sodium; dry processes of extracting aluminium.-Sodium is extracted from its sulphate, which is heated in a carbon-lined retort, with free coke if necessary, until reduced to sulphide, whereupon lime and additional carbon are added, and the temperature is raised until the metal distils over at about 850‹ C. The reaction is represented by the equation Na2S + CaO + C = Na2 + CaS + CO. The retort is suspended from a frame 19, and contains a number of tubes or heating-flues 7 which pass through end-plates, and connect a furnace B on wheels with a movable chimney-flue also on wheels. The three parts are bolted together during normal working, but may be disconnected for the purpose of allowing the retort to be rotated through an angle of 180 degrees. The retort has an outer covering of asbestos 14<1> secured by wire netting 15; at the top and bottom are hinged doors 9, and valved outlet pipes 10. To line the retort with carbon, soft coal is charged into the space between the tubes, and is partly distilled by combustion products passing through the tubes, the gas evolved being conveyed to a holder. The retort is then disengaged from the furnace and flue, is rotated through 180 degrees, and the distillation is completed. The coke between the tubes is forced out, leaving the whole of the interior of the retort with an even layer of gas-carbon. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that aluminium is obtained by showering heated aluminium fluoride upon molten sodium; this subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
