Title: Improvements in Electrical Signalling Installations, particularly applicable for Fire Alarms and the like.
Filed: 1908-07-16
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 15,118. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. July 16, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Switches.-In an electric signalling installation, a time-switch U is employed to introduce an interval between the closure of a contact at 2 and the energization of a relay P. The contact at 2 serves to close the circuit of a battery 33 through an electro-magnet 32<a> and switch 37. The armature 39 of the magnet 32<a> steps round a ratchet -wheel 40 by means of a pawl; each time it is attracted, it closes the circuit of a slow - acting relay 42, which short-circuits the magnet 32<a> at the contact 46, so that the magnet is de - energized, and the armature 39 falls back to a stop 51. When the wheel 40 has been completely rotated in this way, a lug 49 closes a contact 50 and energizes the relay P ; the lug at the same time operates a contact (not shown) for putting the magnet 32<a> temporarily out of action. The time consumed by the switch U may be varied by adjusting the stop 51, and may be automatically augmented during the night hours by moving a switch 37 so as to connect a magnet 52 in series with the magnet 32<a>, the armature of the magnet 52 being arranged so that in its attracted position it shortens the throw of the armature 39. The switch 37 may be connected with the switch controlling the general illumination of the station, and may have a glow lamp 54 to indicate when the magnet 52 is switched in.

Abstract: 14,931. Tildesley, F., Ritchie, A. B., and Watkins, E. J. June 26. Conditioning flour; treating flour with air and gases.-Cereal flour especially soft and other flour which cannot be used alone, is aged and conditioned by treating with compounds of phosphorus, with or without an acid gas. The phosphorus compound may contain the halogen elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine, with or without sulphur or oxygen. Compounds of oxygen with sulphur may sometimes be used. Phosphorus trichloride, pentachloride, or the like are suitable bodies. The compounds may be mixed with the products of their action upon oxyacids, acid oxides, or halogen acids, such as sulphur trioxide, sulphur acids, and nitric, nitrous, iodic, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydrofluoric, or hydriodic acid. Organic bodies may be mixed with the phosphorus compounds, for example those containing the carboxyl (CO.OH) group such as formic, acetic, propionic, or benzoic acid, those containing the hydroxyl (OH) group such as methyl or ethyl alcohol, or aldehydes and ketones containing the group CHO or CO such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, or acetone. In one example air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or other inert gas is forced or drawn through or over phosphorus pentachloride and sulphur trioxide, or Nordhausen sulphuric acid, either mixed together or in separate Woulfe bottles, and is then mixed with the flour in an agitator. A form of apparatus for utilizing powdered bodies such as phosphorus pentachloride consists of a tube a of tinned iron &c. containing nearer its inlet end. c asbestos, cotton-wool, &c. f saturated with water, in the centre a layer of dry asbestos &c. h, and nearer its outlet end d similar material g treated with the powdered reagent. Wire-gauze is inserted at e, and the tube is corked for transit. It may be divided at the centre so that the half containing the active material may be replaced when exhausted. In using water and phosphorus pentachloride, the moisture acts on the reagent, producing the gases hydrochloric acid and phosphorus oxychloride. The tube may be used for liquids by filling it with asbestos &c., saturated with the liquid mixed with hydrochloric acid. Liquid bodies may be sprayed on the flour or into a stream of inert gas, an inert gas or steam being employed in the atomizer. Specification 3612/09 is referred to.
