Title: Improvements in or relating to the Method of Filling with Porous Material Receptacles for Containing Explosive Gases, particularly applicable to Dissolved Acetylene Containers.
IPC: C10L3/04
Filed: 1910-10-14
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 23,856. Acetylene Illuminating Co., [AcetylÞne Dissous et Applications de l'AcetylÞne Soc.]. Oct. 14. Storing under pressure.-The formation of dangerous interstitial spaces due to the settling of the porous filling of receptacles for the storage of acetylene and other explosive gases is prevented by providing, in the interior of the receptacle, resistances opposing the displacement of the various layers of the porous filling, usually introduced in the form of mortar which afterwards solidifies. For this purpose (1) the shell or walls of the receptacle may be formed with horizontal undulations or corrugations, or other indentations and projections. (2) The walls may be coated or lined with a thick solution of silicate of potash or soda, glue, varnish, or other material that will cause the porous material to adhere to the walls; the efficacy of this method may be increased by introducing filaments which adhere to the coating and form a sort of felting. (3) Supporting-rods, ribs, or gills may be welded or otherwise attached to the walls. (4) A grid or skeleton supporting-framework may be introduced before the porous filling. (5) Metallic or other filaments may be introduced into the porous filling to form a felting which consolidates and strengthens it.

Patent GB-191116019-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Braiding Machines for Making Braided or Plaited Lace.
Inventor: JARDINE ERNEST
IPC: D04C3/00
Filed: 1911-07-11
Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 16,019. Jardine, E., and Archer, J. July 11. Braid; braiding - machines.- Relates to machines with outer and inner bobbin races 2, 3 and crossing - places 4 common to both races. Instead of the usual gear-wheels, concentric notched reciprocating plates 9,11 are used to propel the bobbins. This arrangement admits of bobbins being moved along one race without necessarily crossing over to the other race. Fig. 12 illustrates one effect thus obtained. Normally the bobbins remain in the resting-places 4, being checked by suitable stops; selected bobbins are moved into the notches 10, 12 of the plates 9, 11 by the action of radial slides 13 under control of jacquard mechanism. The plates 9, 11 then move and deposit the bobbins engaged thereby against other resting - places 4. The bobbins are then pushed in the resting-places by levers 15 pivoted on the sliders 13 opposite the pushing - ends. In a modified form, the plates 9, 11 have projections 45 spaced wide apart, and have a restricted range of movement. In this case, the bobbins may remain when left by the plates 9, 11 and do not require to be pushed into the resting - places, the levers 15 being dispensed with. In the double-acting arrangement shown in Fig. 8, pushers 32 are mounted at the back of each notch 10, 12 in the driving- plates 9, 11. -By this means, the bobbins in the notches 10, 12 are brought into the resting- places 4 as the ends of the pushers run over fixed cam surfaces 33. Instead of the bobbins in the resting - places 4 being subsequently pushed into the opposite driving- plate as in the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the bobbins may if required be returned to the driving- plate from which they were removed. This enables threads to be passed over two or more threads without interlacement. The movement is effected under jacquard control by cam roses 34 on the ends of vertical levers. When the selected cam-roses 34 are projected into the position shown, the corresponding pushers effect the engagement of the bobbins as required with the drivers.

Filed: 1911-12-11
Granted: 1912-12-11
Abstract: 27,801. Nordfeldt, H. B. E. Dec. 11. Electricity, supplying by meter.-Relates to current-limiting devices for systems in which a quantity tariff is employed, and consists in a prepayment attachment whereby the current limit may be raised for a predetermined period. The consumer's circuit is interrupted at contacts 3 if the current passing through the coil 1 is sufficient to lift a spring-controlled armature 2, Fig 1, or to lift an armature 2 contained in a tube 5, Fig. 2, from mercury contacts 3. To obtain the use of a higher current, a coin 4 is inserted and a handoperated slide 30, Fig. 1, withdrawn, whereupon a spring contact arm 13 closes a shunt circuit through contacts 12 and short - circuits a part of the coil 1, the arm 13 being held in this position by a catch 19 controlled by a notched disk 18 driven by clock-work 22, 23. The clock-work is wound by means of a band b attached to a sleeve 15 operated by a collar 16 on the slide 30. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the coil 1, and horse-shoe core 25 are mounted in a frame f<1> which is raised to increase the distance between the core 25 and armature 2 by pressing in a spring-controlled push-rod 30 after prepayment. The frame is retained in the upper position by the co-operation of a projection 31 with a catch 19 controlled by a disk 18 driven by clockwork 22, 23, which is wound by the inward movement of the slide 30 as above described. An extension 21 of the catch 19, Fig. 1, or a spring-controlled latch 36, Fig. 2, engages a projection 16 on the slide 30 and prevents its return until the catch 19 again enters the notch in the disk 18. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-The coin 4 projecting from a slot in the side 30 rocks the contact arm 13, Fig. 1, to close the circuit through the contacts 12, or, in the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, raises the frame f<1> by engaging an inclined surface 28.
