Title: Improvements in Eye Guards for Horses and the like.
Inventor: POWELL EDGAR CHARLES
IPC: B68B1/10
Filed: 1912-05-20
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 11,953. Powell, E. C. May 20. Bridles.-A combined eye-guard and blinker, suitable for colliery ponies, comprises a U- shaped frame a of wire, Fig. 1, which has transverse members b, c, is curved to fit around the eye of the animal, and is secured to the blinker d by passing the free ends through it and fixing them thereon by the cheek-strap e, this strap and the frame being stitched to the blinker. The ends of the frame a are bent outwards at f . The guards for the two eyes are connected across the forehead by a strap g which is preferably adjustable. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the blinker j, advantageously formed of sheet metal, is mounted upon the frame a and cross members b, k. The frame is hinged by loops l to a member m stitched to the cheekstrap e, and is attached to a leather or other piece n stitched to the head band o. This piece n protects the head against falling stones &c., and may be loosely attached to the frame a by rings or the like so as to render the guard more readily adjustable to different heads. The eyeguard may be of leather, metal, or other material; when of wire, it may be galvanized, and, when of metal, stamped with the necessary holes. The central part over the eye may be raised, formed with a circular aperture, and hinged on a line passing through the aperture.

Abstract: 18,746. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 15. Jib cranes.-Comprises a general arrangement of an electric automobile crane, the jib being mounted at the front, and the propelling- motor and storage batteries at the rear, a short wheelbase enabling successful manipulation of the machine in narrow spaces. A truck 1 is mounted on steering-wheels 5 and driving-wheels 6 driven from a motor 7 through chain and sprocket gearing. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the crane 2 is mounted in a ball-and-socket bearing 33 on the truck and is supported by struts 34 and tie. rods 35. The hoisting is effected by a drum 27 driven by a motor 28. The hoisting-rope 24 passes from the drum over a guide-sheave 26, the head sheave 25, and a fall pulley 23, and is secured to the jib by a detachable hook. Batteries for supplying the propelling and hoisting motors with current are located in a casing 16 over the rear axle, the casing also enclosing a controller such as that described in Specification 18,846/05, arranged to give four forward and two reverse speeds. The control lever 14 passes up through the casing at one side of the driver's seat. As shown in Fig. 4, the pulley 26 is mounted on a plate 50 on the jib, which plate is secured to the top plate 51 of the struts by a hollow bolt through which the hoisting- rope passes. A p:n passed through registering holes in the plates may secure the jib in an adjusted angular position. Two double-pole switches are provided for the driving and hoisting motors respectively, the one switch being arranged to connect the batteries to the motor or to the contacts of charging leads, while the other imparts a forward or reverse drive to the hoisting-motor which operates the drum through reducing-gearing. The hoisting motor is controlled from the hand-lever 29. The hoisting speed may be increased by detaching the pulley 23 and attaching the hook 24<1> directly to the load.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Sulphuric Acid.
IPC: C01B17/86
Filed: 1913-12-10
Granted: 1915-07-22
Abstract: 28,550. Curtius & Co., F. March 11, [Convention date]. Sulphuric acid.-Relates to the tower process of manufacturing sulphuric acid, and consists in introducing the sulphurous gases into the first tower of the system when cold or at a temperature considerably lower than 250-300 C., which is that usually employed. The method is particularly advantageous when using roaster gases, as it is not necessary to reheat them after they have been cooled by the necessary purification. The lower temperature allows the first tower to be packed with coke, and it is advisable to make this tower larger than usual and to supply it with acid containing only a small amount of nitric acid or nitrosulphonic acid. For this purpose, the first tower may be fed exclusively with the acid from the producing towers, and not with acid from Gay Lussac towers.

Abstract: 4345. Soc. M. Latour et Cie. Feb. 20, 1913, [Convention date]. A l t e r n a t i n g - current induction machines. - A dynamo-electric machine having a polyphase stator A and a single phase rotor B, or vice versa, is used to transform currents of a frequency nf into a frequency (n + 2) f, where n is any whole number and f is the frequency proper of the machine. In the system shown, diphase currents of frequency nf are introduced through the terminals a, b, d to the stator windings A, producing a field of frequency nf rotating in the opposite direction to the rotor B, which has a speed f. Single-phase current of frequency (n + 1) f is thus produced in the rotor, and this in turn produces currents of frequency nf and (n + 2) f in the stator windings. Condensers c', c<2> neutralize the self-induction of the stator windings for the frequencies nf, (n+2) f. Current of frequency (n+2) f may be drawn from the terminals a', b<1>, d', and these currents may be converted iuto currents of frequency (n + 4) f by the same method in the same or another machine.
