Granted: 1913-08-26
Abstract: 19,490. McCourt, C. D., Radiant Heating, Ltd., and Schnabel, R. Aug. 26 [Cognate Application, 5114/13.] Gas fires.-In the combustion of gaseous mixtures as described in Specifications 25,808/09, 29,430/09, and 4362/10, [Class 51 (i), Furnaces &c., Combustion apparatus of], means are now provided for preventing back - firing. The gaseous mixture is led through a number of small bore passages of uniform or other cross-section, the walls of which are capable of cooling action by conduction so as to quench any combustion before it reaches the supply conduit. The burners &c. also are constructed so that the heat reaches the periphery of the body of the burner more quickly than it reaches the supply conduit. Fig. 1 shows a burner or tube similar to that described in Specification 4362/10. containing refractory granular material 2, to which the gaseous mixture is conducted by the passages in a block or body consistiug of a bundle of wires or rods 3. Parts of the rods 3 may be made of good conductors of heat, and parts of refractory and non-conducting materials. The rods 3 may be assembled in a thimble which is slipped into the tube 1. In another form, the passage ways are fine holes in a block of material, or in blocks of material of different conductivity and refractoriness suitably assembled. The inlet ends of the passages may be covered by a refractory diaphragm of the kind described in Specification 25,808/09. Fig. 7 shows a burner or heater consisting of a casing 15 containing a block 3 with a number of fine passages connecting the granular refractory material 2 and a chamber 12 for supplying gas and air mixtures. The body of the burner is made so that the distance between any part of the material 2 and any point on the casing is less than, and has a smaller resistance to the flow of heat than the distance between the material 2 and the chamber 12. The casing 15 dissipates the heat to the surrounding air, and may be water-jacketed or the like. The block 3 may be of sections of different materials. Fig. 8 shows a sectional block or body with passages a, the outlet ends b, d of which are conical, conoidal, and otherwise enlarged. The sections a, b<1>, c<1> of the block are respectively of heat-insulating material heat-conducting material, and refractory material, and a section d' of heat-insulating material may also be fitted. Ducts 30 may be made in one of the sections, preferably the section b<1>, for the circulation of cooling-media. In a modified burner or heater, Fig, 9, a number of members 13 connecting, and sometimes formed with, an annular or other gas &c. supply chamber 12 and a burner head 3 are each formed with one or more small-bore passages for the flow gas &c., and are cooled by the circulation of air round them. Specifications 1785/74, [Class 51, Furnaces &c.], and 5936/12, [Class 51 (i), Furnaces &c., Combustion apparatus of], are also referred to.

Abstract: 5014. Vandervell, C. A., and Midgley, A. H. Feb. 27. Brushes and holders therefor; commutators and collecting-rings; cores, yokes, and carcase structures.-A dynamo has a fixed armature, field coils, commutator, and slip-rings, and a rotating field structure carrying two sets of brushes, each of which bridges the commutator and one slip-ring so as to act for commutation in addition to collection. In Fig. 1, the machine is shown in end view and in section along the lines X X, Y Y of Fig. 2. The armature f is carried on the engine casing j by bolts k which also support the field-coils c in a non-magnetic housing l, the field wires preferably being passed through holes m, Fig. 1, in the armature to the terminals N<1>. The field poles are formed by staggered projections N, S inside the flanges of the channel-shaped fly-wheel a of the engine, and the commutator r, which is attached to the casing j, is preferably mounted, as shown in Fig. 2, between the inner flange and the shaft b. Attached to the casing at .s, Figs. 2 and 2<a>, are two sliprings p, p<1> which support the commutator segments r. The ring p has teeth t passing freely through spaces between the commutator segments, as shown in Fig. 1, so that the brushes q make simultaneous contact with the ring and the segments. The ring p<1> has an extension u, which passes through a flange p<2> on the ring p and is threaded into a fixing-ring v. The front part of the ring p<1> forms a circular clamp p' for the commutator bars, with which the contact surface of the ring is flush so that the brushes q<1> bridge the ring p<1> and the commutator. Both sets of brushes are carried, in boxes w on the fly-wheel and are spring-pressed on to the commutator and collecting-rings. Projections may be formed on the edge of the flywheel to adapt it for use with the magnetoignition machine described in Specification 5013/13. The Provisional Specification states also that the invention is applicable to machines for starting and lighting on motor-cars.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Spring Supports for Vehicles.
Inventor: ELLING JENS WILLIAM AEGIDIUS
IPC: B60G13/10
Filed: 1914-01-10
Granted: 1914-11-26
Abstract: 774. Elling, J. W. A. Jan. 10, 1913, [Convention date]. Pneumatic springs. -Relates to pneumatic vehicle springs of the cylinder-aud-piston type, in which the piston acts as a valve whereby a cushioning effect is alternately produced at opposite sides of the piston. The invention consists in arranging the valve so that free movement of the piston can take place from any position in the cylinder before the air cushion becomes operative. The pneumatic spring a, arranged between the axle and frame of the vehicle, is employed in conjunction with the usual semi-elliptic spring. The valve arrangement in the piston c comprises a tube d, Fig. 2, which passes through the piston with sufficient friction to cause the tube to move with the piston until the tube is arrested by contact with the top or bottom of the cylinder, the piston then sliding on the tube. When reversal of the stroke takes place at each end of the cylinder, the tube permits air to pass from one side of the piston to the other until the tube contacts with the cylinder, an air cushion being then formed. The cylinder is provided on its outside surface with cooling- ribs. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) also describes, with reference to Fig. 4 (Cancelled), a modification in which the valve comprises an annular ring e mounted on the periphery of a loosely-fitting piston c. For the purpose of lubrication, oil placed in the lower part of the cylinder a is forced by way of a passage g and valve h to the upper part of the cylinder when the piston descends. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Method of Rendering Water or other Liquid Radio-active
Inventor: LANDIN JOHN
IPC: A61K51/12
Filed: 1914-01-31
Granted: 1914-11-26
Abstract: 2629. Landin, J. Feb. 10, 1913, [Convention date]. Radio-active substances.-Water and other liquids are rendered radio-active by treatment with a radio-active preparation in which the radio-active salt &c., either a solid or in solution, is enclosed within a non-porous organic liquid or solid medium which is capable of transmitting the emanations, but which is itself not affected -by the liquid to be rendered radioactive; so that the radio-active salt &c. is protected against its action. Thus, a solid radium salt may be well stirred with paraffin oil, petrol, or carbon disulphide, and the mixture introduced into a porous clay or kieselguhr cylinder, which is placed in the liquid to be treated; or the solid radium salt may be incorporated in a covering of solid paraffin or wax, and the porous cylinder dispensed with. When a solution of a radium salt is used, this may be enclosed in a hollow body of paraffin, or it may be emulsified with melted paraffin. The process is applicable to the treatment of milk, beer, juices, and oils, in addition to water.
