Abstract: 19,210. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 20. Exciting ; fieldmagnets; cooling.- The field - magnet of a dynamo-electric machine of the direct-current type has its magnetic material d i s t r i - buted around the armature to form a substantially uniform air-gap, and its exciting- winding a, Figs. 1 and 3, and compensating-windings a<1> are composed of uniform overlapping coils completely distributed, so that each slot contains a coil of each winding, the two windings forming mechanically a single winding. The coils may have a fractional pitch of fifty per cent. The outer periphery of the field-magnet is approximately polygonal, and the exciting-winding is so arranged that the poles occur at points opposite the centres of the sides of the polygon. The coils do not completely fill the slots, so that the field magnet may be kept cool by drawing air through the empty parts of the slots by means of a fan. Form-wound coils may be employed with overhung or nearly-closed slots by making every other tooth detachable, as shown in Fig. 5. If the machine is to be compounded, some of the shunt coils a may be reduced in size, and series coils a<2> inserted in the same slots.

Title: Furnaces for Calcining or Roasting Mineral Ores and Desulphurizing the same.
Inventor: EDWARDS THOMAS
IPC: F27B9/24
Filed: 1910-09-12
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 21,198. Edwards, T. Sept. 12. Roasting - furnaces; charges, agitating ; charges, cooling. - Ore roasting and desulphurizing furnaces with multiple rotary rabble arms having intersecting paths are provided with flues above and below the hearth so that a part or the whole of the ore may be heated in contact or without contact of the furnace gases. Means is provided for preventing dust from the discharge shoot from being carried back into the roasting-chamber and for conveying it to a dust-collector. The discharged material is cooled on a hearth, which is also provided with multiple rotary rabbles, and a spraying-device for water or a chemical solution is attached to each shaft in advance of the rabble arms. When the material is treated in contact with the furnace gases, the gases pass, as shown by the arrows a, Fig. 1, from the furnace 9 over the working hearth 1, through flues 12, 14, 13 to an outlet flue 11. When the hearth is heated externally, the gases pass from the furnace 16 as shown by broken arrows b through flues 12, 10, 13 to an outlet flue 15. When only the material near the discharge end of the roasting-chamber is heated directly, the gases from the furnace 9 pass as shown by arrows c over the rear part of the hearth in advance of dampers 21, 22 and through an opening 25 to the rear part of the flue 13, whence they pass through flues 14, 12, 10 and the first part of the flue 13 to an outlet flue 27. Dampers are. provided as shown, and a damped opening is provided in the partition wall 29 of the flue 13. The dampers 21, 22 may be alternately raised and lowered by the action of a cam 23, Fig. 8, on the rabble shaft so as to permit the rabbles 2, which at this part are unprovided with teeth, to pass below the dampers when the furnace gases pass through the opening 25, and a water circulation may be maintained through the dampers by pipes 32 provided with seals 33, 34. Additional furnaces communicating with the roasting-chamber and the flues 12, 13 may be provided at the sides of the structure. From the roasting - chamber, the material passes through one of the shoots 35, 35<a> to a cooling- hearth provided with multiple rabbles 102, the shafts of which may be provided with spraying-devices. To prevent dust from the shoot 35 from being carried into the roasting- chamber, the shoot is provided with a slide 41, Fig. 3, which is connected to a cam and spring actuated frame 43, so that the slide opens or closes the shoot as the rabble 2 approaches or recedes therefrom. A part of the inlet to the shoot is provided with a pipe 49, Fig. 6, through which the dust may pass to a collector. Specification 28,464/03 is referred to.

Title: Machine for Cutting Involute Spur Gearing.
Inventor: PERROT HENRI
IPC: B23F5/12
Filed: 1910-11-29
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 27,769. Perrot, H. Nov. 29. Gear - cutting.-Involute wheels of slightly differing diameters are 'cut without altering the change - gearing in the generating - train. An arm 81, keyed to a hollow shaft containing the blank mandrel and connected with it through the indexing-train, carries an involute cam a engaging a bar b adjustably inclined according to the diameter of the blank to be cut. The bar is mounted on a saddle 82 traversed by a screw connected through change and other gearing with the screw that traverses the saddle 2, which carries the reciprocating cutter slide 6. The gearing is driven at 70 from a shaft 68 connected to a driving-shaft 62 through reversing-gearing. The speed of traverse is adjustable by change-gearing 66. Two tools are employed mounted in a cutter-releasing holder, one acting on each. side of the same tooth. The saddle 2 engages the traversing-screw by means of two nuts, one being adjustable to take up back-lash. The cutter-slide is reciprocated by a rack and pinion 9 driven by a rack 27 connected to an adjustable-throw crank, driven through a clutch pinion and change-gearing from a power shaft. Indexing is effected during the return of the saddle 2, and the cutter slide is held in a retracted position during this time by means of a tappet-bar controlled by a dog on the saddle and operating to unclutch the pinion and insert a stop-pin in a notch in a disk on the crank-shaft. The indexing-worm is chain-driven from the main shaft 62 through a system of bevel and differential gearing and swivelling and sliding shafts to allow for the generating motion.

Abstract: 28,277. Niblett, J. T., and Electrolytic Apparatus Syndicate. Dec. 5. Cells; electrodes; electrolytes, treating non- chemically; fibrous materials, treating.-Apparatus for making bleaching-solution comprises one or more shallow inclined trays 3 in which are electrodes 5, 6 arranged transversely to the flow of the electrolyte. The electrodes in a tray may be in one row parallel to the bottom, or in two rows so as to form a sinuous passage for the electrolyte; they may be of circular, square, triangular, or other cross-section. Grooved supports for the electrodes may be formed on the floor of the tray. The electrodes have volute-metal or other heads which are screwed into external omnibus bars and thereby compress rubber washers against the opposite sides of the tray. The flow of electrolyte into a tray or into the uppermost tray of a series is regulated by a valve 4, operated by an electromagnet or solenoid in series with the electrodes, and may take place through a rose or sprinkler, preferably having larger holes above the higher end of the tray than above the lower end. The electrolyte may be cooled in or between the trays. A diaphragm is placed between the rows of electrodes if it is desired to collect the products from one or both electrodes separately.

A fan may be provided to increase the pressure of the entering gas, or the gas may be delivered into the space j by a separate blower. The rotary tank g discharges (1) the entrained gas through a hollow shaft k .to a pipe l, (2) the water through ducts m, fixed passages n, and a pipe p to the source of supply, and (3) solid matter through a constricted annular outlet or a series of nozzles g<0> into a fixed casing q, the outlet of which is controlled by a valve r. In a modification, the water is discharged into the inlet of a second impeller arranged on the same shaft. A relief pipe may be fitted to the tank g, its inner end being uncovered by the water when the pressure is excessive.
