Abstract: 2213. Fieldhouse, J. Jan. 27. [Cognate Application, 14,824/12.] Tanks.-Settling-apparatus comprising a central chamber q surrounded by an outer one k which is divided into compartments by radial partitions, as described in Specification 2520/05, is modified as regards various details, more particularly with the object of facilitating the collection and discharge of scum and sediment. The liquid from the inlet pipe o is delivered on to the top of a truncated cone or pyramid p, the sides of which may be corrugated or fluted. In order that the outer compartments may be separately isolated for cleansing, the passages n in the wall a of the central chamber may be fitted with suitable valves or penstocks. The wall a may be provided with an effluent channel b, Fig. 3, or effluent channels b<x>, Fig. 4, having adjustable scum boards d, behind which the liquid rises to overflow into the channel over adjustable weirs c. Similar channels, which will serve to connect the channels b with the channel h on the outer wall, may also be provided at the top of the radial walls of the outer chamber. The channel h may be divided into sections with separate outlets and all of the overflow channels may be fitted with stops, slides, or valves for governing the flow. The boards are removed to allow of the discharge of the scum, and angular boards are provided extending across the outer compartments to direct its discharge flow. The scum may be collected by, and between, radial partitions which dip in the liquid and are rotated round a spindle z, their outer ends being sometimes carried by rollers on the tank wall. Storage or hydrolytic chambers r, s are formed between the sloping bottoms of the chambers q, k and into these chambers sludge is discharged through penstocks u or valves t and scum through pipes w. The head of liquid in the settling-tank is used for forcing the sludge into the tanks r, s and for discharging their contents. Access to the tanks r, s is afforded by means of a man-hole 7 and radial passages. Baffle cones or pyramids p<X> may be placed in the outer compartments k. The radial division walls of the chamber k may be continued to the centre so as to divide the chamber q into compartments, each of which is provided with a separate inlet branch. The wall a may terminate below the liquid-level or may be dispensed with.

Abstract: 5875. Buschmann, T. E., and Wanderer Werke, vorm. Winklhofer & Jaenicke Akt.-Ges. March 10. Type - lever actions; accenting - arrangements ; heyboards.-The accenting-types are mounted on the same carriers as the ordinary types, and the shift-mechanism controls interponents for converting the keys from normal keys which operate the letter-spacing mechanism to dead-keys. The arrangement simplifies the keyboard as the accenting-types can be paired in any convenient manner with the ordinary types. The arrangement is shown applied to a type-lever action. The accenting-types x are mounted on the same levers 3 as the ordinary types y, and each of the accenting- key levers 5 is provided with a pivoted interponent 14 coupled to the shift-frame 1 and adapted to engage the letter-spacing universal bar 15, the interponents being arranged over notches in the key-levers. The couplings consist of a bell-crank lever 9, 11 connected by a pin-and-slot 12<a> and a spring 13 to a link 12 on the interponent. When the shift-frame is in the normal position, impression is from the ordinary types y and the interponents engage the universal bar. For typing accents, the shift-frame is raised, thereby moving the interponents to the position shown and preventing operation of the universal bar. The pin-and-slot connexion enables the shift-frame to return independently of the universal bar. In a modification the accenting-types are arranged for impression when the platen is in the normal position, the interponents in this case being normally idle.

Abstract: 27,227. Peteler, A. Nov. 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Dash-pots. - Relates to shock - absorbers of the rotary-vane type, connected by arms with the vehicle frame and axle and provided with a liquid chamber having fixed partitions between which oscillate vanes carried by a hollow spindle having ports at different parts of its length automatically controlled by a piston valve moving within the hollow spindle. According to the present invention, the piston valve is operated by the pressure of the liquid, and is spring-balanced. The rotary vanes n are carried by a spindle I, connected with a lever g<1> pivoted to the vehicle chassis. The spindle I rotates in bearings h<1>, d<2> formed in a casing comprising a stamped metal chamber a and a cover f formed integral with a lever g attached to the axle or axle spring. Fixed partitions A are attached to the casing by screws B, B<1>. The spindle I is made hollow, and a piston l operating therein is normally held by springs o, o' between ports c, e<1>, which connect the spaces on each side of the vanes with the space k within the hollow spindle. When the axle moves towards the frame under road shocks, the vanes n move in the direction n<1> shown in Fig. 3, and liquid passes freely through the ports e', pushing the piston towards the ports e through which the liquid ultimately passes to the other side of the vane. When the rebound occurs, the vanes n move in the direction n<2>, liquid enters the space k by the ports e, and the piston is displaced towards the ports c<1> the liquid passing freely until the piston is arrested by an adjustable stop p, whereupon the motion is restricted, as only a variable portion of the passage e' is available for the passage of liquid to the other side of the vane. The stop p is formed as a nut which can be moved in or out on guide-members s when a screw q is rotated by a graduated head r on the outside of the casing. When adjustment is made, the head is rotated with respect to a fixed mark u on the casing, and the parts are then locked in the adjusted position by a nut r<1>.
