Abstract: 24,623. Recklinghausen, M. von., Helbronner, A., and Henri, V. Oct. 28. Radiations, effecting reactions by. -In an apparatus for sterilizing water by ultra-voilet rays, adapted particularly for domestic use, the flow of water is retarded by a baffling- member of material translucent to the rays and immersed completely in the liquid so that deposits cannot form on it. In the construction shown, the baffling-member takes the form of a tube 3, completely immersed in a tank 5 by arranging that the tube shall withdraw water from the tank at a point 4 near the top thereof. The outlet from the apparatus is closed by a valve 18, and closing of this valve causes water to overflow from the tank 5 and carry with it any impurities that may have collected on the surface of the water. Waste water passes away through a seal 11 and outlet 10. This outlet is also connected to the tank through a three-way cock 13, so that the former may be emptied. The apparatus is covered by a hood 17 dipping in a liquid seal 2, and air can only enter through the filter 19. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an arrangement in which the electrode chambers of the lamp are wholly or partly immersed in the liquid for cooling purposes. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1913-04-16
Abstract: 1267. Kleinschmidt, E. E. April 16, 1912. Selective-punching machines.-Relates to variable feed-mechanism for feeding the tape to an extent equivalent to the portion of the tape perforated at each punching operation. The punching and feed mechanisms are both operated from the same solenoid or magnet, whatever key is depressed. The tape is fed by a pin-wheel 46, which engages a central row of perforations on the tape and is actuated by ratchet mechanism 44, 45 operated by the energizing of a solenoid when the key for the selection and operation of any punch is depressed. This energization serves to rock a lever 27, which effects the reciprocation of the punch-actuating head 16 and, through a lever 37, floating lever 40, and links 42, 41, the actuation of the pawl 44. The variation in the extent of feed is effected automatically by the position of the end punch-selecting rod raised by the key operated. When the lever 27 is rocked, the floating lever 40 is swung with the lever 37 until its free end 50 engages a projection on the end selecting-rod; the lever 40 then swings about its free end and through its connected links withdraws the pawl 44 into position to drive the feed-wheel, whereupon the mechanism returns under spring action on the release of the key. The parts are so arranged that the setting of the pawl is effected during the punching operation and the feed of the tape following the withdrawal of the punches from the tape. The punch head is provided with a rack 51 which engages a projection 40' on the lever 40 to prevent rebound of the latter when it is swinging about its free end. A spring 52 serves to control the position of the lever 40 in its return movements. The tape, until it reaches a stripper 61, is pressed into engagement with the feed-wheel 46 by a toothed roller 58 and a pressure-roll 60 carried by a spring-controlled arm pivoted at 59. The feedmechanism is shown applied to the keyboard tape-perforating apparatus described in Specincation 8960/12.
