Abstract: 29,776. Riley, A. J. Dec. 22. [Cognate Application, 10,897/11.] Fastenings operated from a distance.-Relates to means for fastening railway-carriage doors, of the type in which sliding bars B, carried along the sides of the coaches and adapted to actuate the door-fasteners F, are operated by means of transverse levers A pivoted on the bottom of the carriages. The transverse lever A is connected to the sliding bar B by engaging between two drop bolts b<1> mounted on the bar, which can be raised out of engagement with the lever to allow the sliding bar to be moved by hand to withdraw all the fasteners on that side of the carriage. The mechanism can be actuated by pneumatic, electric, or mechanical means, or bv the brake apparatus. In the lastmentioned case, means are provided to prevent the doors being fastened when the brakes are taken off until the train is in motion. Such means comprises two spring catch levers N mounted beneath the carriage and adapted to engage a loop L in a bar J connected to the transverse lever A, when this is moved into such a position that the doors are unfastened and the carriage is at a standstill. The connexion between the piston-rod c<1> and the lever A is by means of a stud and slot so that the piston is free to move back when the brakes are taken off. When the train starts, cams M, M<1> on the carriage axle operate on the ends of the catch levers N and disengage these from the rod J, whereupon the lever A is moved under the action of a spring to lock the doors. One of the catchlevers N is longer than the other so that the release of the bar J is certain, and a pivoted pawl V is provided to keep the catches out of the path of the cams M, M<1> when the rod J is drawn back. The pawl is released when the rod is moved forwards by putting on the brakes.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Winding Machines for Yarn and other Materials.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: B65H59/38
Filed: 1911-02-25
Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 4818. Boult, A. J., [Leeson, J. R.]. Feb. 25. Winding - machines; t e n s i o n arrangements. - The device described in Specification 26,232/04 for simultaneously and automatically varying the tension of the yarn, and the pressure of the threadguide on the cops being wound, is modified so as to maintain a maximum tension during the winding of about one third of the cop and thereafter to diminish the tension rapidly, while the pressure of the thread-guide is rapidly relieved throughout the whole of the winding of the cop. The device is shown applied to a winding-machine similar to that described in Specification 25,158/01, and comprises a weighted lever 20, which is adjustably connected with the pivoted thread-guide frame by a link 22 and carries another weighted lever 33 which is connected with the movable grid of the tension device 15. As the cop grows, the thread-guide frame is moved about its pivot and the lever 20 is raised, thus reducing the effective leverage of the weight 46 and the pressure of the guide on the cop, such reduction being augmented by the sliding of the weight along the lever owing to its connexion, by means of a link 54, with a stationary part. The lever 33 is raised with the lever 20, but, in order to compensate for the decreased effective leverage of the weight during the early part of its movement, the weight 38 is so connected with a projection 44 on the lever 20 that it is at first slid away from the pivot of the lever, so as to keep the pressure on the tension grid constant during the winding of the first third of the cop, and thereafter is slid towards the pivot, so as to reduce the tension of the yarn rapidly and simultaneously with the reduction of the pressure of the thread-guide.

Title: Improvements in Alarm Apparatus for Portable Cash Boxes and similar Receptacles.
Inventor: PALLWEBER JOSEF
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 1912-01-08
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 602. Pallweber, J. Jan. 9, 1911, [Convention 'date]. Theft alarms.-Relates to apparatus of the kind described in Specification 24,677/10, and comprises an alarm circuit contained in a cashbox or the like and actuated when the box is either moved sideways or lifted. The pole 6, Fig. 2, of the battery 3 is connected by a spring 22, Fig. 1, to a flange 23 on a ring 24, which fits loosely in a hole through the bottom of the box; and the pole 5 is connected through bell apparatus 4 to a spring 17 carrying a cap 29. This cap is held out of contact with the flange 23 by a pin 32 which normally rests on the supporting surface on which the cash-box lies, but permits a circuit to be established when the box is raised. If the box is slid sideways, the pin 32 closes the same circuit by tilting into contact with the ring 28 attached to the ring 24, Fig. 2. To secure the continued ringing of the bell when the box is replaced, a pin 45 is provided on the lever 35, which is thereby displaced by the action of the bellhammer 44. The pin 41 on the lever 36 which is normally engaged in a slot at the end of the lever 35 is thus released, and the lever 36 makes contact with the pin 19 which is conductively connected to the pole 5 of the battery through the bell apparatus 4. A circuit is thus established, since the spring 36 is in connexion through springs 40, 27, 22 with the other pole 6 of the battery. The alarm is reset by turning- over the bent wire 33, which raises the spring 17, re-adjusting the pin 32, and also replaces the lever 36 by pressing against the insulating piece 43. The ring 24, 28 is depressed by springs 25, 26, 27 on slightly raising the box, and thus prevents the insertion of a bent wire through the hole in the bottom of the box.

Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 476. Cousin, P. A. J. Jan. 9, 1912, [Convention date]. Open-hearth furnaces. -A gas-fired furnace is heated by one or more reducing - burners situated in an end wall of the furnace, and by oxidizing - burners delivering from the side walls. By suitably regulating the two sets of burners, any desired atmosphere can be obtained in the furnace chamber, and the length of the flame from the reducing-burner can be varied. As shown in connexion with an openhearth furnace, a single reducing - burner b is situated at one end of the furnace, and the oxidizing-burners care distributed along both side walls. The burner b comprises gas and air channels separated by a wall t. the upper end of which is below the level of the hearth, so that a chamber q is formed for the development of the flame. Bv altering the height of the wall t, the point of origin of the flame can be shifted so that the highest temperature is produced at the most suitable point of the furnace chamber. Each of the channels r, s can be subdivided by one or more walls u at right-angles to the wall t. Each oxidizing- burner c comprises a channel supplied with gas and air from vertical flues F, G so arranged that at the point of ignition the stream of air from the flue G meets the stream of gas at right-angles. The products of combustion escape either through dampered side downcast flues p, as shown, or through similar flues distributed along the end wall of the furnace. The gas and air distributing-systems comprise main flues d<1>, e<1> leading to valve-boxes having sets of valves C, h, D, k for regulating independently the supplies to the two sets of burners. The flues f, g leading to the reducing - burner may be divided by partitions w, x corresponding with the dividing-wall u in the burner port, and serving to equalize the distribution through the furnace. The waste-gas flue K may be similarly divided by a partition N. The furnace chamber may contain crucibles, muffles or retorts, or other material or articles to be heated. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the furnace may be provided with a reducing or oxidizing burner only. In one form described, in which the furnace proper can be given a partial motion of rotation on an horizontal axis, the reducing- buruer and the waste-gas outlet flue are formed in a stationary portion of the structure and register with inlet and outlet ports on the body of the furnace. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 3965. Ferrere, P. Feb. 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Dry processes of extracting zinc; distilling zinc; briquetting processes; chloridizing; sulphatizing.-The distillation of zinc from a mixture of zinc oxide and carbon is effected in tubular retorts a having extensions b, b<1> closable by plugs i, i<1> and stirrups j, j<1> connected by pipes d, d<1> and bottles f, f<1> with collectors h, h<1> common to the series of retorts. The condensing-members are arranged in separate chambers n, n<1>. The retorts, connecting-pieces, and collectors are heated to suitable temperatures by electric resistances r, r<1>, r<2>, r<3> controlled by rheostats at various points. The resistances may be of platinum, nickel-iron, or iron. The heating may be effected by fuel, a part of the heating-gases being allowed to pass by vents o into the side chambers n, n<1>, into which cold air may also be admitted by openings p in the doors s. The extensions b, b<1> may be formed integral with the retorts. The mixture of zinc oxide and carbon is highly compressed to form briquettes having the form of the retorts but preferably perforated or grooved to facilitate the escape of vapour. Before opening the retorts a stream of carbon monoxide and nitrogen is blown through to displace the zinc vapour. The retorts may be of carborundum. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following subject-matter which does not appear in the Specification as accepted. For the production of zinc oxide, zinc ores are submitted to a chloridizing or a sulphatizing roast, the former process being conducted with, for instance, sodium chloride at 700‹ C. to evaporate off zinc chloride which is recovered as solution, while the latter process is conducted in the presence of air and steam at 800‹ C. so as to decompose iron sulphate but not zinc sulphate, which is leached out. Zinc sulphate obtained from this solution is heated and yields a spongy zinc oxide easily reducible by carbon monoxide, at a temperature below that of vaporization. To reduce the oxide, it is mixed with 25 to 30 per cent of carbon and ground in water in rotary tubes with ceramic packing or silica rollers. The mass is filtered, dried to 10 to 12 per cent of water pulverized, agglomerated by pressure, and heated to 100-110‹ to expel all moisture. They are then placed in the retorts.
