Granted: 1913-03-06
Abstract: 16,779. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. July 18. Alkalies, obtaining; diaphragms; electrolytes, treating non-chemically.-In the electrolysis of an alkali-chloride solution with the use of vertical electrodes, two or more vertical filter diaphragms are used, and electrolyte is passed through them successively from the anode to the cathode. Only a part of the cathode liquid need be so supplied, the rest being introduced between two of the diaphragms. Hydroxyl ions are thus kept away from the anode. To maintain the strength of the anode solution, more liquid may be supplied to the anode compartment than can pass towards the cathode, the excess being removed. Specification 25,118/09 is referred to.

Abstract: 3519. Anderton, J. Feb. 11. Winding-on motions. - The reversal of the direction of the movement of the cone belt of slubbing, intermediate, roving, and like frames by the operative during winding-on is prevented by means of catches which are mounted in a casing on the sliding rack-bar and engage one or more adjustable stationary racks. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 2 and 3, two racks o, o' are adjustably secured together, and a catch n engages with the rack o and a catch m with both of the racks. At the end of the traverse of the rack-bar, the catch m falls into a slot q<1> and the catch n rides on the plain part o<6> of the rack o'. When the operative reverses the rackbar to commence a fresh set, the catch m is raised by the part of the rack adjacent to the slot and lifts the catch n clear of the rack by reason of its engagement with a pin n<1>. At the end of this movement the catch m falls into a slot q and allows the catch n again to engage the rack o ; subsequent movement of the rack-bar lifts the catch m into engagement with the racks. One catch only, and a single rack may be used.

Title: Signalling System for Municipal Traffic Control.
Inventor: HOGE JAMES BUSHROD
IPC: G08G1/07
Filed: 1914-09-22
Granted: 1915-09-22
Abstract: 20,046. Hoge, J. B. Sept. 22, 1913, [Convention date]. Flag signals; lamp signals; road-vehicle signals; transparency, stencil, and illuminated signals.- Road traffic at crossings is controlled by electrically-operated signals 10 supported on posts at the corners or centrally suspended. Special emergency signals are also provided for bringing all traffic to a stop at the road-side when a way is to be cleared for high-speed fire and police vehicles. The signals may be controlled either from a box 26<1> on a booth or platform 27<1> or from a box 28<1> set flush in the middle of the crossing. These local control stations are in telephonic communication with the police and fire head-quarters, and they comprise bells in the signal-repeating circuits from the fire head-quarters, so that when a code fire signal is repeated in a circuit through the engine-houses and firemen's dwellings of a particular route, it is also sounded at the local traffic-control stations on the same route. The emergency signals are operable from the fire and police centrals as well as locally. The signals 10 may be of semaphore type, or may consist of pairs of coloured lamps or transparencies, or may be of the construction shown in Fig. 5, in which a weighted curtain 11, marked with the word "Move," is adapted to be lifted, by energizing a solenoid 21, so as to expose the word "Stop" on a plate 11<a>. A lamp 25 is provided to illuminate the glazed front of the signal, and the plunger 22 is provided with contacts for cutting a resistance into the energizing-circuit at the end of its stroke. The emergency signals consist of a lamp 65 and whistle 64, and there may also be a latched flag which drops when released by a magnet. The circuit arrangements are shown in Fig. 3. The signals 10 (only one of which is shown is this Figure) are connected to circuits 35, which can ba controlled from either of the boxes 26<1>, 28<1>. At the box 26<1>. the control is effected by a double-throw switch 37 and four single-throw switches 38<a>, 38<d> this arrangement being such that it is impossible to signal the north-and-south traffic to advance when the east- and-west traffic is in motion. At the box 28<1>, control is effected either by pedal switches 42<a>, 42<d> or by buttons 47 in a hand-set 46 connected by a flexible cord 45. By means of a coupling 75, the wires 35 may be connected to those of an adjacent crossing, so that the signals at both crossings can be controlled from the same point. The emergency signals 64, 65 are controlled by keys 67, 68 and can also be operated over the fire and police telephone line 29 by a relay 70, which only responds to current of a particular character. By means of plugs 63" at the central fire station, signals received on lines 62 are repeated to lines 32, running through all the engine-houses and traffic-control stations &c. on the route affected. A switch 39 is provided for switching the fire and telephone lines through instruments in either of the boxes 26', 28<1>.

Abstract: 23,301. MacFarland, H. B. Nov. 30. Draught-inducers; draught, regulating.-The steam supply for the engine of a mechanical exhauster in the smoke-box of a locomotive is automatically controlled by the pressure of the steam in the boiler. The fan 20, driven by a turbine 23, exhausts the furnace gases through the smoke-tubes 14 and delivers them to the stack 21. The steam for the turbine is supplied through either or both connexions 24, 36, the former leading direct to the boiler and controlled by a valve in the cab, and the latter to the superheater header 15 and controlled by the main throttle. Both connexions are fitted with stop and non-return valves 30, 37 and 29, 38 respectively, and between the junction 33 and the inlet to the turbine is provided a pressurecontrolled valve 39, the operating-mechanism of which is connected to the steam space of the boiler by the pipe 40. The valve 39 may either reduce the supply of steam to the turbine gradually as the pressure in the boiler rises, or may be arranged only to cut off the supply entirely when a predetermined pressure is reached. In starting-up the boiler, steam or compressed air from an outside source may be supplied to the ejector jet 31. by a connexion 27. When no superheater is provided, the connexion 36 leads to the main steam-pipe.

Abstract: 23,723. Janse, B. Dec. 8. Cranks.-A bicycle crank is made in two parts 2, 3, the part 2 being attached to the axle, and the part 3, which carries the pedal 4, being movable so as to bring the pedal pin into a plane parallel with the frame for the purposes of transport, prevention of theft, and for facilitating wheeling the bicycle. A spindle 6 on the part 3 passes through a hole in the part 2, such hole terminating in a recess or slot 7. A squared part 14 on the spindle 6 engages a recess of similar shape in the part 2. A plug 9 is located on the spindle and is maintained against a nut 11 by means of a spring 13. Normally, the plug is locked in position by a pawl or catch 10. Upon releasing the pawl, the plug 9 can be turned so as to register with the slot 7 and the spindle 6 forced outwards to release the squared portion 14; the part 3 can then be turned through a right - angle and the locking - arrangements restored to the normal positions. A fork-like member 15 on the part 2 engages one of the pedal plates when the pedal is turned out of its normal position.
