Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 9101. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. April 14. Regulating delivery by varying speed of motor. -An electric motor 4 operating a pump, compressor, or the like 3 is automatically started and caused to operate at different speeds by devices responsive to the varying fluid pressure maintained in a tank by the pump or the like. The armature 9 is provided with a resistance 10 controlled by a starting-device 11 provided with a contact-arm 12 controlled by a dashpot 13 and operated by a solenoid 14. The field 15 is provided with a resistance 16 controlled by a regulator 17, which is provided with a contact-arm 19 controlled by a dash-pot 20 and operated by a solenoid 21. The motor circuit is controlled by a switch 22 operated by a solenoid 23. The tank 2 is provided with two pressure switches 5, 6, carrying contact-pieces 8, 7 at the ends of levers operated by the movements of diaphragms. The levers are weighted, the one 5, controlling the circuit for operating the motor solenoid 23 so as to operate just below the pressure it is desired to maintain, and the other, 6, to operate at a slightly lower pressure. When the pressure falls below the desired point, the circuit 39, 40, 41 through the solenoid 23 is completed, lifting the switch 22 and closing the circuit through the armature resistance solenoid 14. The motor circuit is thus completed and the armature resistance gradually cut out. If the pressure in the tank still falls, the switch 6 operates, and the circuit through the solenoid 21 is completed. Resistance 16 is thus inserted in the field circuit, thus speeding- up the motor. Upon the pressure rising, the field resistance is cut out by the switch 6 falling, and finally the motor is stopped by the operation of the switch 5. Floats &c. may be used in place of the pressure switches 5, 6.

Granted: 1911-04-18
Abstract: 9108. Lucertini, A. April 14. Annealing and tempering.-Armour-plates &c. are treated so as to acquire a hard face without being case-hardened. The ingot, after casting, is cooled to about 450‹ C., reheated to 750- 350‹ C., slowly cooled to about 450‹ C., reheated to 620‹ C., maintained at that temperature for some hours, again cooled to about 450‹ C., and then placed in the heating-furnace of the rolling-mill; or in some cases the ingot, as soon as it is removed from the mould, may be transferred after a lowering of the temperature to the heating-furnace of the rolling-mill, The rolling is started at about 1150‹ C., is preferably carried out in more than one heating, and is effected with a small and gradual increase of pressure at each successive pass. After rolling, the plate is slowly cooled at about 400‹ C. and then reheated to 590-610‹ C. It is then subjected to successive annealings and temperings; thus it may be first annealed at about 750-900‹ C., then at about 590-630‹ C., and then tempered at a low temperature, after which it may be tempered at 750-780‹ C., and again at 590-630‹ C. ; or the annealings and temperings may be arranged differently. The plate is then annealed at about 600‹ C., and smoothed. In the case of small plates the number of heat-treatments may be less. The plate is next worked to the required dimensions, and then bent to shape after having been heated to about 600‹ C. The outer face may be protected with carburizing-material. The plate is then taper-heated, the face being at about 860‹ C. and the back at about 600‹ C. or less. A metallic layer may be interposed between the sand bed and the back of the plate during this heating. The plate is finished in various known machines.
