Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 20,464. McPherson, A. Sept. 9. Automatic circuit-breakers; thermal cut-outs. -A switch is opened automatically by a spring in consequence of the heating effect of the current upon another spring which is located in the circuit and normally helps to maintain the switch closed. An arm pivoted at 3 is jointed at 4 to another arm carrying the movable contact 6 which touches the fixed contact 5 when the two arms lie in a straight line. A fixed stop 9 lies at one end of a slot 7 in the arm 6, and the two arms are acted upon by springs 11, 13, respectively, which normally keep the parts in the position shown. The spring 11, traversed by the circuit current, slackens when the current is excessive, and the preponderating action of the other spring then breaks the circuit, the arms moving to the dotted-line position. To prevent the spring 11 from being unduly stretched, it is arranged to work in a slot 8 and is fitted with a retracting- spring 15. The switch may be provided with a handle for resetting.

Abstract: 16,851. Bolton, C. J. Oct. 4, 1912. Pottery screw-threads, forming. - Relates to machines for forming internal screw-threads on pottery articles, for instance electric insulators. The article, in the semi - plastic condition, is placed upon a chuck 101 carried by a sleeve 102, which can be raised by rack-and-pinion gearing 104, 105. The tap 108 is mounted on a vertical rotating spindle 109 and is provided with a screwed sleeve 110, having the threads of the same pitch as the threads on the tap, and engaging in a bracket on a cross-member 112 of the machine. The lower end 113 of the sleeve 110 is formed with two opposite segmental recesses, and immediately below a correspondinglyshaped washer 114 is keyed on to the spindle 109. Surrounding the washer is a casing 117 containing a loose ring 118 provided with tongues 119 normally engaging the recesses in the washer, whereby the ring is driven with the spindle 109. The casing is provided with arms connected to a counterweighted spring pedal 126 by a forked lever 122, and a link 124, and when raised by operating the pedal, carries the ring 118 upwards and effects the engagement of the locking-tongues 119 with the recesses in the end of the sleeve 110, the casing being raised until the tongues 119 of the ring engage equally with the recesses in the sleeve and in the washer. The sleeve 110 is thereby rotated with the spindle 109 and moves upwards carrying the tap spindle to tap the article. When the hole in the article has been tapped for the desired' length, a leather-faced washer 129 on the sleeve 110 engages the cross-member 112 of the machine, and unless the sleeve is unclutched from the spindle 109 by operation of the pedal 126, the driving-belt is caused to slip. The spindle is normally driven by a fast pulley 138, open belt 137, roller 135, and driving-pulley 134, and the rotation is reversed to withdraw the tap from the article, by transferring the open belt on to a loose pulley 141, and a crossed belt 143 normally running on a loose pulley 144, to a fast pulley 145. The spindle may be driven by friction cones 148, 149 keyed to a sliding shaft, and adapted to be thrown into engagement with a driving-cone 146, by a shifting lever 139 connected to the sliding shaft. Specification 10,854/13 is referred to.

Abstract: 18,168. Fabriques de Produits Chimiques de Thann et de Mulhouse, South Metropolitan Gas Co., and Freyss, G. Aug. 9. Hydrocyanic acia ; calcium and calcium-ammonium ferrocyanides; ammonia. - The sludge obtained by washing gas with ferrous sulphate solution is boiled with slaked lime to drive off all the ammonia, and to the impure solution of calcium ferrocyanide remaining a solution of ammonium sulphate or other ammonium salt is added to precipitate calcium ammonium ferrocyanide together with calcium sulphate, if ammonium sulphate was employed. The precipitate is boiled with dilute sulphuric acid, whereupon half the cyanogen is evolved as pure hydrocyanic acid, the remainder being left as insoluble ferrous-ammonium ferrocyanide. The ammonium sulphate may be separated from the insoluble matter, which is then boiled with lime to obtain calcium ferrocyanide, from which hydrocyanic acid may be prepared either directly or after first converting into calcium-ammonium ferrocyanide; or the ammonium sulphate need not be separated, in which case a larger quantity of lime is used.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Oscillatory Electrodynamic Apparatus for Submarine Signalling and other purposes.
Inventor: FESSENDEN REGINALD AUBREY
IPC: G01S1/72

Granted: 1914-08-13
Abstract: 18,765. Fessenden, R. A. Jan. 29, [Convention date]. Subaqueous sound signals. - An oscillatory dynamo - electric apparatus, applicable in the production and detection of subaqueous signal sounds and speech, comprises a fixed coil 46, 47 and an oscillatory copper cylinder 40 arranged as a tightly-coupled transformer in the air-gap of a strong magnetic field. When the cylinder is oscillated, alternating current is produced in the coil, while, conversely, if alternating current is supplied to the coil the device acts as a motor. Owing to the tight coupling between them, the currents in the coil and cylinder neutralize each other as regards their reaction on the magnetic field, whereby hysteresis losses are avoided and the inductance of the device is reduced to a minimum. This enables very high powers to be obtained from small machines. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the upper and lower parts of the coil 46, 47 are oppositely wound, on account of the oppositely-directed fluxes in the upper and lower halves of the air-gap of the iron-clad magnet 43, 44. Alternatively, the coil may be wound the same way throughout, the cylinder being made in oppositely oscillating halves. The part of the cylinder which projects beyond the coil is vertically slotted. Two-phase arrangements are mentioned, and the use of a rectifier, controlled by the cylinder 40, for starting under load is referred to. The arrangement may be modified to give rotary instead of longitudinal oscillations. When two separately-driven generators of the type described are connected in parallel, the reactions between them are sufficient to produce synchronism without the use of special means. In the application of the invention to subaqueous signalling, the cylinder 40 of the device shown in Fig. 1 is attached to the side of the ship, or to a diaphragm which may be separated from the side of the ship by water or oil, optionally under pressure, or by compressed gas, and the coil 46, 47 is adapted to be switched into circuit (1) with an alternator and signalling key, or (2) with a strong-current microphone or microphonic relay, when speed is to be transmitted through the water, or (3) with a pair of telephone receivers, when the device is to be used for detecting signals. Specification 16,895/09 is referred to.
