Title: Improvements relating to Motor-meters for Continuous and Alternating Electric Currents.
Inventor: KOESTERMANN WILHELM
Filed: 1905-02-24
Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 3899. K÷stermann, W. Feb. 24, Energy meters of the motor type. To reduce the effect of excessive currents upon the permanent brake magnets, the armature and field windings are reduced in size, small iron cores being used to maintain effective torque for normal currents. In the form shown, the field coils A and armature coils B are reduced in height, and the latter closely surround a thin iron core E, which may be annular, polygonal, or starshaped, and preferably is mounted with the armature coils upon the spindle. The thickness of the core is such that it becomes saturated if the meter is overloaded. Specification No. 15,972, A.D. 1898, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or connected with the Furnaces of Steam Boilers.
Inventor: STRATTON JAMES MACDONALD
Filed: 1905-03-10
Granted: 1906-04-10
Abstract: 5074. Stratton, J. M. March 10. Steam-generator furnaces; air, supplying; air supply, heating; fire-bars and grates.-Relates to means for heating and distributing air for combustion in a steam-boiler furnace of the kind described in Specifications No. 15,043, A.D. 1902, and No. 23,059, A.D. 1904. The air is heated in a chamber e in the uptake, flue, or funnel by the waste gases passing through tubes e', which may be vertical, as shown, or horizontal. The chamber e is divided into compartments by a number of horizontal and vertical longitudinal and transverse partitions e<3>, so that air forced by a fan or the like through the inlet passage e<2> at one side is caused to pursue a circuitous path amongst the smoke-tubes e<1>. The hot air passes into a chamber f, with a central partition f through openings controlled by valves e<4>, and passes from this chamber through openings controlled by valves d<3>, g<2> to a perforated distributing-box d<4> surrounding the doorway, and to a distributing-box g under the grate. The box d<4> may be protected by removable fire-brick slabs d<6>, Fig. 2, with recesses to engage fixed angle-irons, or perforated distributing- boxes d<6> may be arranged as shown in Fig. 11. The distributing-box g, Figs. 1, 2, and 15, has openings, for the removal of ashes, closed by hinged doors g<5>, covers, or plugs, and is bevelled to support one end of an air-distributing trough h, the other end of which is supported by a transverse bearer d<12>. This trough may occupy the whole or part of the length and width of the furnace grate, and has a seating for fire-bars with or without a perforated plate h' at one end ; or a plate with slots at one end and perforations at the other may be used. As shown in Fig. 11, the trough may be grooved to engage bearers d<12> so as to prevent movement when the fires are being pricked. Asbestos or other packing h<1> may be used to prevent the escape of air. A plug h<7> may be removed to enable ashes to be discharged. The ash-pit is provided with a door i<1>, Figs. 1 and 2, to enable the furnace to be worked with forced draught alone In applying the invention to a water-tube boiler as shown in Fig. 17, one or more air-heating casings e are arranged in the uptake, and the hot air is led into chambers at the front and back of the furnace. The front chambers are arranged as described above, and the perforations in the rear chamber d<16> may be arranged so as to discharge the air above or below the fuel.

Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 21,934. Thornycroft & Co., J. I., and Douglas, J. Oct. 27. Screw propellers. - In feathering propellers, the blade is formed with a screwed shank b. An eccentrically-arranged, inwardly-projecting pin p engages an inclined slot n in a slidable sleeve j, and, by sliding this sleeve, the blades are feathered. A pin k engages a slot m in the sleeve j and prevents relative rotation between the shaft e and the sleeve j. Motion is transmitted to the sleevej by a tube r from the arm y, which is held between the collars z. The rod x is operated by the hand-wheel u and lever w, and the outer end is supported by the spindle x<1>, secured to the stern tube. On rotating the blade, it moves slightly towards or away from the centre of the shaft e. In a modification, the blade is rotated by means of a rack engaging a pinion formed on it. In another modification, the sleevej is at the outer end of the propeller boss and operated by a rod through the centre of the shaft e. The blades may also be operated by mechanism extending through the aft bearing-bracket of the propeller shaft. Specification No. 4789, A.D. 1905, is referred to.

The stirrers and conveyers are also heating - bodies. In addition, other bodies g below the lowest trough send a current of hot air up through the apparatus, which current is distributed by adjustable baffles h. When the drying is effected in vacuo, the feed-shaft is provided with a four-winged cross-axle or an outlet device rotated from the stirring- shaft and preventing admission of air.

Granted: 1908-04-09
Abstract: 14,918. Fefel, J. E. June 29. Blind-stitching machines; lock-stitch shuttle sewing- machines; needle - bars, vibrating laterally; neeclledriving.-A sewing-machine is described in which all the stitch-forming devices are above the work. The needle-bar J, Fig. 1, is driven from the shaft H, and is also oscillated for forming zigzag stitches by a pivot-shaft K journaled in the head C. The pivot-shaft is moved axially, by means of a link o', a universal joint and a pin in the slotted segment L, which has an arm working in a camgroove in the gear-wheel O. The wheel O gears with the wheel P and thus drives the shuttle shaft E at half the speed of the driving-shaft H. The raceway containing the double-pointed shuttle R is curved concentric with the movement of the shuttlecarrier T, and has a flange on the needle side against which the shuttle, which has two adjacent flat sides, is moved by the fingers S of the carrier. The flange is notched at the centre to permit of the passage of the curved needle a<1>, and the points of the shuttle taper towards the notch. The bottom of the raceway is also cut away adjacent to the notch, the edges of the aperture being bevelled towards the notch, to allow a clearance for the loop of needle-thread beneath the shuttle. Each point of the shuttle engages a loop of needle-thread, which thus becomes interlocked with the shuttle thread, and, when the needle is oscillated by the shaft K, forms the zigzag stitches. Feed; work-supports; presser-feet.-The worksupport D projects from the post and carries the vertically movable feed-box X on its outer end. The feed-box is pressed upwards by the spring G, and is moved down by means of a lever r, which presses, through a lever p, on lugs q on the box. The cloth plate is inclined each side at 45 degrees, and a similarly-inclined presser-foot U is held over it by the leg m. The apex of the foot is cut away to allow the passage of the needle. The feed-shaft Y, driven from the shaft H, drives an eccentric b on the shaft a through a shaft Z and universal joints Z'. The eccentric b drives the four-motion feed-dog, which is jointed on the carrier c to allow the dog to tip in order to press freely on the folds of the cloth. The dog crowds the cloth against the shoulder U<1> of the foot and into the aperture V<1>, to allow the needle to penetrate it.
