Title: Improvements in Release Mechanism for Bulkhead Doors and the like.
Inventor: GIBBONS WILLIAM GREGORY
IPC: B63B19/00
Filed: 1912-10-24
Granted: 1913-11-24
Abstract: 24,266. Gibbons, W. G., and Blake, F. J. Oct. 24. Operating and controlling doors electro - magnetically, hydraulically, and by springs, weights, floats, and toothed-gear mechanism.-Relates to operating- mechanism for bulkhead and other doors of the kind that close by gravity when a clutch or detent in the train of opening- gearing is released, and consists in the provision of a relay device such as a spring or weight for releasing the clutch or detent, the relay being controlled by a detent-clutch which can be released by hand, by the rise of a float or by electro-magnetic or other means from a distant point such as the bridge. As shown, the door-opening gear comprises a worm-wheel A<4> driving a rack-andpinion gear A<2> through a clutch A<6>, the parts of which are held normally in engagement by a spring B. The clutch is released, to allow the door to fall, by a relay spring C<2> on a vertically movable rod C connected to the clutch by a bell-crank D<2>. The rod C is guided in brackets E<1>, E<2> and is normally held depressed, to hold the spring C<2> in compression, by a pair of toggle levers F, F<1>, pivoted to the bracket E<1> and to the rod C respectively. The toggle is broken by a cam G<1> on a hand-lever G. The cam is also turned by the rising of a bilge float H acting through a lever H' and link H<3>. The toggle is reset by a tommy-bar L inserted in one arm of a bellcrank C<6> connected by a link C<3> with the rod C. A spring tappet F<4> assists the resetting. The clutch A<6> may also be released from a distance by a small hydraulic cylinder J as described in Specification 19,192/12.

Title: A Method of Diminishing the Electromotive Forces Induced in the Commutation Zones of Commutator Machines.
Inventor: HEYLAND ALEXANDER
IPC: H02K23/24
Filed: 1912-12-20
Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 29,409. Heyland, A. Dec. 21, 1911, [Convention date]. Commutating poles and windings; rotary converters and transformers.-To diminish the electromotive forces induced in the commutation zones of frequency converters, polyphase motors, and other machines, a portion of the commutation zones is provided with commutating-poles or commutating-coils such as d, Fig. 3, and another portion with open slots, tunnels, or recesses, such as e, which weaken the main field at those places and superpose their effects upon the effects of the commutating poles or coils. In Fig. 3, the armature coil a is represented as short-circuited by a brush b. The invention is applicable to alternating - current machines in which the stator frequency is constant and the rotor frequency is variable, as well as to machines which have, conversely, constant rotor frequency and variable brush or stator frequency. The commutating - coils may be connected to the brushes, or to suitable stator coils, and the tunnels or slots may receive a portion of the stator coils required for the excitation of the commutating-coils. To reduce further the sparking which arises in frequency and other converters, the slip-rings are connected to the armature windings at points which are spaced apart unevenly. As shown in Fig. 4, the armature winding a is connected to six slip-rings s at points which are alternately 30 degrees and 90 degrees apart, the slip-rings, which are spaced 150 degrees apart being connected through ,transformer windings t to a three-phase source; the commutator brushes b are arranged as shown. According to the Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), (1) choking- coils may be used in conjunction with the commutating-coils, and (2) sparking in frequency converters may be reduced by arranging an auxiliary winding of more than three phases on the armature and connecting this winding to corresponding points on the commutator. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Forcing Water into Boilers and the like.
Inventor: GORDON JAMES CAMPBELL
IPC: F22D5/34
Filed: 1912-12-23
Granted: 1913-12-23
Abstract: 29,618. Gordon, J. C. Dec. 23. Feed - water, supplying.-Apparatus for returning the water of condensation in a closed system, or for supplying fresh feed-water, consists of a chamber 1 connected to the boiler, steam and water spaces and a water-inlet pipe 7, which passes into the chamber and has a non- return valve 8 at its lower end. Condensation water in the pipe 7 passes through a non- return valve, and owing to its momentum rises to a higher level in the chamber than in the pipe. When the apparatus is used for supplying fresh feed, the connexions 2, 3 with the boiler are throttled. Cold feed-water in the pipe 7 condenses the steam in the chamber thus reducing the pressure and allowing water to flow from the pipe into the chamber.

Title: A Process for Dissolving Copper and certain other Metals, particularly intended for the purpose of Separating them from Metals Possessing other Properties.
Filed: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 3722. Schmidt und Desgraz Ges., P. Feb. 22, 1912, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Metals, removing.-Copper, zinc, nickel, and other metals having oxides soluble in ammonia solution are dissolved from alloy or plated waste or other material, which is connected as anode in a solution of an ammonium or alkali-metal salt of a non-reducing inorganic acid such as sulphuric acid, made permanently alkaline by ammonia, ammonium carbonate, or both. A diaphragm and a different cathode electrolyte may be used. Lead is deposited as oxide slime. Nickel, which dissolves more slowly than copper and zinc, need not be completely removed from sheet-iron, as it can be melted with the iron without injury to the latter. The dissolved metals may be separated chemically or electrolytically.

Title: An Improved Coin-freed Weighing Machine.
Inventor: BETHELL FREDERICK WILLIAM
IPC: G07F17/04
Filed: 1913-03-31
Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 7542. Bethell, F. W. March 31. Weighing-apparatus.-In a weighing-machine, depression of the platform c is normally prevented by a stop h, which is interposed between the platform and a rigid part a of the apparatus and may be withdrawn by means of a handlever d after the insertion of a coin. On pulling forward the hand-lever d, the stop h pivoted thereto is withdrawn, a catch j being brought into engagement with a projection j<1>, and retaining the stop in a position in which the weighing-platform c is free. Movement of the platform during the weighing operation disengages the catch, the levers afterwards returning to their normal positions by gravity. Coin action, weight.-Actuation of the handlever d is prevented by a counterweighted lever f, Fig. 4, until this is tilted by a coin so that its end is brought opposite a notch d<2>. Another lever e, pivoted to the casing and linked to the hand-lever, at first supports the coin on the lever f, but when the hand-lever is pulled forward, the lever e moves and allows the coin to drop into a suitable receptacle.

Abstract: 12,189. Hulbert, C. H. May 18. Flash signals.-Means for automatically making and breaking the circuit through the electric rear lamp of a bicycle or the like when the bicycle &c. is in motion comprises one or more contact plates carried by the moving part of the bicycle, such as the rear wheel, and engaging one or more contacts electrically connected w i t h the accumulator of the lamp, thereby producing a series of flashes varying in frequency with t h e speed of the bicycle. In one arrangement, the contact plate on the bicycle wheel intermittently engages, as the wheel rotates, with a spring plunger g electrically connected through a wire i with one terminal of the accumulator, the other terminal being connected to the frame of the machine. The plunger g is carried by a sliding sleeve arranged within a bracket d on the bicycle frame and comprising an inner and an outer shell with interposed insulating-material g<1>. The sleeve is capable of being slid back to withdraw the plunger from the path of the contact plate by means of a bell-crank lever k and links l, m from a bell-crank lever o within reach of the rider, the lever o working between quadrant plates p clamped to the top member e<1> of the bicycle frame. In some cases, both terminals of the accumulator are connected to contact devices, such as spring plungers, which are then connected by the contact plate or plates on the wheel ; in these cases, the contact plates are insulated from the wheel. When the accumulator is separate from the electric - lamp casing, a switch in the circuit may be operated from the handle of the bicycle by means of a Bowden wire.
