Title: Improvements in Acetylene Gas Generating Apparatus.
Inventor: HEATON JOSEPH
Filed: 1901-11-26
Granted: 1901-12-31
Abstract: 24,030. Heaton, J., and Worthley, N. T. Nov. 26. Acetylene.-Relates to apparatus in which the supply of water to the carbide is automatically regulated. Water is supplied to the gas-holder tank by a pipe a<1>, and flows thence into the generator tank B, in which is a bell L held down by the cover b. Within the bell L is a chamber H containing a number of superposed carbide holders i, which are perforated at i<1> near their upper ends for admission of water and exit of gas. Water passes from within the bell L to the bottom of the chamber H by a pipe r<1>, an opening k in the side of the chamber H, and a covered way h. The pipe r<1> is normally open at the top, but it is fitted with a valve p which is closed by hand by a rod r when the apparatus is not in use. Within the bell L is an air-vent pipe m connected with a pipe M, which is in connection with the bottom of the carbide chamber H and with a pipe m<1> open to the atmosphere. The bell L communicates with the gas holder E by pipes f<111>, b<11>, and f. Over the pipe f is a small bell F mounted cn an inner tube f<11>, which is carried by a lever G pivoted at g and extending under the edge of the bell E. The tube f is perforated at the top for communication with the bell F, which serves both as a washer for the gas and as a governor for maintaining a higher pressure in the generator than in the gas holder. In operation, when the bell E descends upon the end of the lever G, the bell F is raised and the gas pressure in the generator is reduced so that the water in the bell L overflows into the pipe r, and thence into the carbide chamber. As the bell E rises, the bell F is allowed to descend, and the increased pressure in the bell L drives the water below the top of the pipe r. The pipe m<1> is made large enough to receive the water expelled from the chamber H, and by means of a measuring- rod the depth of water in it and therefore, allowing for pressure, in the generator may be measured. A drip tank D receives the lower ends of the gas inlet pipe f, outlet pipe d, and safety-escape pipe e.

Title: A Method for Producing Electrodes for Electric Accumulators.
Inventor: JUNGNER ERNST WALDEMAR
Filed: 1902-01-21
Granted: 1902-07-17
Abstract: 1684. Jungner, E. W. Jan. 22, A.D. 1901, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Cadmium oxides; copper oxides; iron oxides; lead oxides; nickel oxides. - Relates to a method for making electrodes for secondary batteries from metals the oxides of which are insoluble in alkaline solutions, and consists in obtaining an extensive surface enlargement by means of electrolysis. In the electrolytic bath, Fig. 3, A is the anode and K the cathode. The latter is made with a number of points so as to produce irregular electrolytical action on the anode, and is surrounded, except at the points, with an insulated cover H. In a modification, the anode is surrounded with an insulated covering which is perforated on the side facing the cathode. These arrangements may, however, be dispensed with, if the surface of the anode is scratched with a file or emery. The portions of the substances formed by the electrolytic action and not dissolved off the anode may serve as the active material. The following are practical examples of the above :-Nickel is made the anode in a mixture of solutions of sodium chloride and an alkaline hydrate, and the nickel oxychloride obtained on the nickel and not dissolved off is subsequently converted into an oxide by substituting a solution of an alkaline hydrate for the electrolyte described above. A negative electrode for use with this plate may be obtained by taking a nickel plate thus formed and removing the deposit from it by hydrochloric acid and then coating it with zinc. Electrodes may be similarly formed with other metals, especially with lead, copper, cadmium, and iron. Iron and steel are preferably excavated by treatment in a very dilute alkaline solution, and these plates, when coated with suitable active material, may be employed as negative plates with the positive nickel electrodes described above.
