Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Minimising the Oscilltory Movements of Ships or other Oscillating Bodies.
Filed: 1908-01-10
Granted: 1909-01-11
Abstract: 629. S w a n, Hunter, & Wigham Richardson, [Schlick, E. O.]. Jan. 10. Gyroscopic apparatus.-Comprises improvements in apparatus for minimizing the oscillatory movements of ships and other bodies subjected to rolling, and consists of two gyrostats a, a' arranged on each side of the longitudinal central plane of the ship and parallel thereto. The axles b, b<1> of the gyrostats are mounted in frames c, c' arranged vertically and turning on trunnions d, d'. The gyrostats are rotated in opposite directions by motors m, m<1>, and the frames c, c' are provided with toothed sectors o, o<1> engaging with each other. An inclination of the ship causes the gyrostats to turn to the right and left. The couples produced by this turning counterbalance the rolling of the vessel. Means for braking the action of the apparatus and returning the frames to their normal positions consist of cataract or spring devices attached to the pins p, p<1>. A modification is described, in which each of the gyrostats a, a<1> is replaced by a group of three or more gyrostats, designed to produce the same effect as the single gyrostats.

A chamber g, Fig. 1, is attached to a draw-off tap j, and is fitted with an agitator c driven by gas issuing from an inlet pipe b. The plug of the tap is provided with a right-angled gas inlet port l arranged so that, when the tap is turned in one direction, both beer and gas are admitted to the chamber g, and, when it is turned in the opposite direction, beer only is admitted. In a modification, the outlet of the mixing-chamber is closed by a valve forming an extension of the valve j, and the chamber is provided with a vent valve. The plug of the valve is formed with ports arranged so that the beer inlet, the gas inlet, and the discharge valve are opened in succession, and the beer inlet and discharge outlet may be opened simultaneously. In a further modification, beer raised by a pump B, Fig. 4, is passed through a chamber a<2>, to which gas is admitted during a part only of the stroke of the pump.

Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 23,419. Eschellmann, G., Harmuth, A., and Ges. der Tentelewschen Chemischen Fabrik. Oct. 13. Sulphuric anhydride.-The contact mass for use in the catalytic process for the production of sulphuric acid has previously been divided into two parts arranged in chambers A, C, that in the anterior chamber A being a relatively thick layer spread over a large surface and arranged so that the heat may be radiated. According to the present invention, the penetrable carrier for supporting the contact mass in the anterior chamber is composed of a number of elements M so that it can be readily taken to pieces, the elements being formed with impenetrable pyramidical projections l, which project from the contact mass and radiate the heat to the oncoming gases. These elements are supported by legs m at a short distance from a perforated plate L, which is carried by a frame i supported on the conical bottom B connecting the chambers A, C. This plate is for convenience in sections, the centre part O being supported by lugs k from the outer. annular part, which is itself divided into sections N. The plate I for distributing the gases flowing in through the opening H is also in sections, the centre portion J being supported on flanges on the outer ring part, which is divided into sections c, d. The contact mass in the rear chamber c is supported on a number of plates p separated by distance-pieces r, and the gases passing into this chamber from the upper one are mixed by passage through the central aperture o of the plate P. To prevent loss of heat by radiation, a jacket K is formed round the upper chamber A communicating with the space below the perforated plate L. Before starting operations, the contact mass in the chamber A is dried by blowing in hot air through the opening H, the gases passing out through the pipe R.
