Title: Improvements in Armoured or Protected Electric Switches and Fuses.
Inventor: DEAN HENRY JABEZ
IPC: H01H21/06
Filed: 1910-06-30
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 15,684. Dean, H. J. June 30. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Switch mechanism, interlocking with lids.- In an enclosed switch, the switch and the lid of the casing are interlocked by a boss R, Fig. I, upon the rotary operating-shaft P with two parallel faces adapted to engage with a slotted link O pivoted at S to a projection upon the hinged lid B; or, in the case of a plunger-operated switch, Fig. V, by curved slotted links E', F<1> upon the hinged doors B', C' which co-operate with a groove H' upon the plunger. A link secured upon the shaft P, Fig. I, is pivoted to the arm L, which is pivoted to the switch levers J, themselves pivoted at K. With the lid closed, the shaft P, with its boss R, may be freely rotated to operate the switch by reason of the circular enlargement at the end of the link O ; the lid can be opened only when the switch is ' off ', in which position the boss presents its narrow dimension to the slot O. Similarly, the switch cannot be closed while the lid is open. The switch levers J contact with the fixed contacts F; and the terminals N with which the levers are connected are joined by a fuse.

Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 20,064. Gauldie, K. Aug. 29. Grit, excluding.-Sand or other heavy abrasive material is removed from the leakage fluid and prevented from reaching the packings of centrifugal pumps or other like machines by rotating the leakage fluid by means of rings of blades, preferably of short radial length, mounted on rotating parts of the machines, so that the heavy material is thrown outwards in a direction opposite to the leakage. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the blades A<1>, secured to an impeller-wheel of a pump opposite a projection B<1> on the casing, prevent sand &c. from reaching the packing E through the space R<1>, and the blades A, opposite the projection B, prevent sand &c. from reaching the packing N. The blades A have shrouds C, P, so that any sand &c. which passes the outer edges of the blades is thrown against the outer shroud. Clean water may be supplied to the stuffing- boxes F from the space R through holes E in the guide vanes, and to the balance pistons or disks from the space R<1>. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the water leaking from one side X to the other'Y of a balance piston passes through sand-separating vanes in a passage U to a radially-longer passage V, so that its pressure on leaving the passage V is increased, and it escapes in both directions along the piston, and only clean water passes along the passage D.

Abstract: 22,354. Watson, C. S. Oct. 10. Jet condensers.-Relates to apparatus of the type in which gases pass through perforations in revolving screens whilst liquid is flowing centrifugally across the perforations, and consists in a series of dished perforated plates m spaced apart on a vertical rotating shaft f and sealing-troughs t into which the peripheries of the plates extend. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the plates m may be provided with radial vanes s. Gas enters by an inlet f opening into a well g, and leaves by an outlet u. The combined area of the perforations in each plate is at least equal to that of the inlet f, and the perforations are preferably on one side of a diameter, the perforated part of one plate being adjacent the non-perforated part of the next. Liquid is fed to the hollow shaft band passes by holes k in the shaft and channels p and recesses o in the distance-pieces n to the undersides of the plates, overflowing from the troughs t to the base of the apparatus. Liquid may be supplied to the plates by lateral pipes instead of by a hollow shaft. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, liquid from the sealing- troughs overflows to a secondary trough y, from which radial troughs z lead the liquid to the centre of the next lower perforated plate. The troughs z may extend direct from the sealing- trough. A deflector shaped as an inverted trough may be placed above each sealing-trough to deflect liquid rising too high. Cooling water may be circulated through a jacket surrounding the apparatus.

Abstract: 25,157. Belin, E. April 19. Selective punching-machines.-Relates to apparatus for punching telegraph tapes, especially of the kind described in Specification 9556/11, [Class 40 (iii), Telegraphs, Electric], and in which each character is represented by three perforations disposed in various positions transversely of the tape, such perforations serving respectively to secure variations in the polarity and potential of a current and the resistance in its circuit. The perforating- mechanism comprises two punches for punching perforations representing polarity, five for resistance, nine for potential, one for securing synchronism, and one for changing the alphabet. The punches 2 are carried by armatures 3, and work through holes in a plate 7 over which the tape passes. In the case of a ' polarity ' punch shown in Fig. 2, the movements of the armature serve to make and break a circuit g<1>, g<2> thereby operating a spring-controlled pawl and ratchetwheel mechanism 12, 13 for feeding the tape. The punches and their operating-magnets A, B, C, D, E are disposed relatively to the tape 1 as shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, and the three punches required for each character are operated from a single key. Under each row of keys in the keyboard mechanism is fixed a band of copper 10, and these bands are connected in series, one end being connected with a battery F, and the other being closed by the depression of a key which establishes contact between a spring 9 and the free ends of the wires of the punch circuits corresponding to the key depressed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Alternating Current Dynamo-electric Machines adapted for Synchronous Working.
IPC: H02K19/12
Filed: 1913-04-19
Granted: 1914-04-16
Abstract: 9261. Hunt, L. J., and Sandycroft, Ltd. April 19. Alternating - current induction m a c h i n e s ; motors, controlling; exciting; windings. - An alternating-current synchronous machine is started as an induction motor by means of the arrangements shown in Specification 16,170/09 by running up to synchronism with the windings connected so as to give one of the basal pole numbers, and then altering the connexions so that the machine runs in cascade, which corresponds to synchronous speed, direct current being at the same time supplied to the stator. Fig. 1 is a diagram of the stator windings comprising a three-phase winding supplied through terminals 5, 6, 7, and star-connected at 8, and a direct-current winding having terminals 9, 10. The rotor connexions, Fig. 2, are similar to those in Fig. 14 of Specification 16,170/09, the slip-rings 16 being connected to a regulator 14, and the star connexions being brought out by slip-rings 11 to a starting-switch 13. At starting, the slip-rings 16 are connected by the regulator 14, thus giving a basal pole number, for example four, on the rotor which is by this means run up to synchronous speed. The regulator 14 is then opened, thus changing the rotor connexions to cascade working, for example six pole, and direct current is supplied to the terminals 9, 10. The alternating and direct current windings may be combined by taking tappings 21, 22, 23, Fig. 3, from the star winding, and supplying any or all, for example 21, 22, from separate commutators 27, 28 through regulators 29, 30, the remaining point or points, such as 23, being short-circuited by a switch 24. The commutators 27, 28 may be those of separate generators, or may be common to a single generator 26 having two wave windings arranged in the same slots of an ordinary armature, two of the coils being left dead if the number of slots be even. The invention is also applicable to the case of two machines connected in cascade, and, according to the Provisional Specification, to synchronous generators.
