Title: Improvements in Electric Furnaces.
Inventor: HELBERGER HUGO
IPC: F27D11/02
Filed: 1911-01-06
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 419. Helberger, H. Jan. 6. Crucibles.-In an electric resistance furnace, a heating - tube B contains a closely - fitting crucible C which can be removed by a hydraulic or other ram, also fitting closely. The crucible C may be composed of clay or graphitic clay for temperatures up to 1800‹ C., or, for higher temperatures, of refractory oxides such as magnesia or zirconia, optionally with a binder such as boric acid or tar. A clay crucible may be caused to fit tightly by heating it, when charged, to the softening-point, determined by the evolution of white silica vapours. A crucible of refractory oxides may be moulded in place by using a binder, but, preferably, a thin sheetiron liner is put in the furnace and powdered oxide filled in between it and the resistance; the whole is then heated to whiteness, when the oxides sinter together and the iron melts, forming a crucible. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 14,516/93, 5721/05, and 13,690/05, [all in Class 39, Electric lamps &c.].

Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 18,881. Lake, W. E., [Jaeger, Geb.]. Aug. 22. Switches, quick-action.-In quick make-andbreak tumbler switches, the contact-lever 2, Fig. 1, the tumbler 5, and the snap-spring 3 are mounted to rotate about a common axis 1, and the contact-lever is held in its end positions until the snap-spring has been sufficiently strained, whereupon the spring acts directly upon the contact-lever to produce the quick action. In the constructions illustrated, the contact - lever is provided with a cap - shaped portion 4, which forms stops for the ends of the spiral spring 3 which encircles the axis. A capshaped portion 6 is mounted to rotate around the portion 4, and has connected to it a tumbler 5. When the tumbler is rotated, the cap-shaped portion 6 bears against and strains the spring 3, the other end of which, bearing against the cap-shaped portion 4, produces the snap-action when the detaining effect of the spring 9, with which engages a pin 12 upon the contact-lever. has been overcome. Two springs 9 may be used instead of one, or rotatable resilient hooks may be mounted upon the contact-lever adapted to engage with fixed stops in the end positions and to be positively released by the tumbler when the snap - spring has been sufficiently strained. In another form, locking-hooks 27, as shown in Fig. 4, are pivoted upon the casing and are adapted to engage with a pin 33 upon the contact-lever.
