Patent GB-190421142-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Variable-speed Mechanisms
Inventor: CAROLAN EDGAR ALFRED
Filed: 1904-10-01
Granted: 1905-09-30
Abstract: 21,142. Carolan, E. A., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 1. Driving machines by electromotors.-Relates to variable - speed gearing, applicable to printing presses &c. in which toothed wheels are always in gear, the wheels on the driven shaft being electromagnetically clutched to their shaft as desired, and the velocity of the driving-shaft being slightly variable to adjust the velocity of the driven shaft between the limits of velocity obtained from successive sets of gearing. The driving-shaft 30, Fig. 3, is driven from the motor and carries keyed pinions 31, 33, 35, 37, gearing with pinions 32, 34, 36, 38 loosely turning on sleeves on the driven shaft 29 and carrying armatures 50, 49, 47, 45 which are magnetically clutched to members 56, 55. keyed to the shaft by coils A, B, C, D. Pins 61, 60 in the members 56, 55 prevent more than one armature from being in action at the same time, and overcome the effects of residual magnetism. Wires from the coils A ... D pass along the hollow shaft 29, and are connected by the connecting-strips 21 ... 24, Fig. 5, to collector rings a<1> ... d<1>, the other ends of the coils being connected together in pairs and to the collector rings e<1>, f<1>, as shown in Fig. 1. A controller with contact-fingers a, b, c, d, &c. and contact-segments a<2>, b<2>, c<2>, d<2>, t, &c., as shown. diagramatically in Fig. 1, is employed. The mains T<2>, T<1>, the switch shown, motor M with field coil 14 and armatures 13, and resistances 15 ... 18 are connected as shown to the fingers. The twentythree positions of the contact-finders are represented by vertical dotted lines 1 ... 23. In the first position 1, the resistance 16 is in circuit with the armature 13 and is cut out step-by-step in starting the motor till the position 4 is reached, the coil D being at the same time energized and a shunt being maintained round the resistance 15 by the contact of the finger 4 with the segment 4<d>. As the controller is moved forward to the eighth position, the resistance 15 is gradually inserted in the motor field circuit, thereby increasing the speed of the motor until the velocity of the shaft 29 equals or nearly equals the velocity obtained with the pinions 35, 36. Between the eighth and ninth positions, both coils C, D are energized, the resistances 17, 18 being in series with them and reducing their tractive power so that the armatures 45, 47 may slip if strained. At the ninth position, the coil D is cut out, a shunt being thrown round the resistance 15 through the resistance 17, which shunt causes a sudden reduction in the speed of the motor to that obtained with the controller in the fourth position. Between the ninth and thirteenth, fourteenth and eighteenth, and nineteenth and twenty-third positions, the changes are similar to those between the fourth and eighth positions, the coils C, B, A respectively being energized.

Title: Improvements in Safety Appliances for Exposed Electric Conductors.
Inventor: THORNE ISAAC COCKS
Filed: 1905-04-20
Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 8524. Thorne, I. C. April 20. Electric railways and tramways. -Relates to means for rendering exposed conductors of electric currents of high voltage substantially harmless, and has particular reference to and is described in connexion with electric railways and tramways on the sectional-conductor system, and consists in de-energizing the live sections either from the line or the vehicles by means of sectional safety conductors. The vehicle running on rails A, B collects current from the sectional conductor C by a shoe s in the usual manner. The conductor C is supplied from the main E through the contact d. Should the line sections C happen to be put into .contact with the safety conductor D by bridgepieces, either on the line or on the vehicle, or in any other manner, current flows through the solenoid c, and the armature b is drawn down and contact is broken at d. The condition of the section is indicated bya lamp or signal G. In a modification, two parallel, sectional safety conductors are employed, and their ends are staggered so that it is possible to cut out two sections simultaneously. The device on the vehicle for bridging the conductors C, D consists of a pivoted piece operated through a crank by means of hand-driven chain gearing.

Title: Improved Means for Utilizing Variations of Temperature to Operate Temperature-indicators, Valves, and the like.
Inventor: FOURNIER JOSEPH BARBE
Filed: 1905-09-13
Granted: 1906-10-13
Abstract: 18,507. Fournier, J. B. Sept. 13. Pressure - regulating valves.-In a thermostatic gassupply device, or steam - heating system, in which pressure, transmitted by special means from the source of heat, is admitted to a bent tube of the Bourdon-gauge type, the valve, Fig. 9, of the regulator of a gas heater is connected to the bent tube by a rocking lever x. A spring z<1> is interposed between this lever and a regulating-screw. The spindle on which the lever x is pivoted may be adjustable. A similar arrangement may be used to control the regulator of a steam-heating system, in which case a reducing-valve is preferably used to prevent sudden variations of pressure on the valve y. This may consist of a valve o connected to a spring-pressed diaphragm as shown in Fig. 8.
Patent GB-190520570-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Photographic Apparatus.
Inventor: ANDERSON JAMES WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-10-11
Granted: 1906-05-31
Abstract: 20,570. Anderson, J. W. Oct. 12, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901). Kinematographs. - Relates to a camera for taking a number of successive photographs on a plate, film, or the like, in more or less rapid succession, the camera being also adapted to be used as an ordinary one for taking ordinary photographs. When the camera is used for taking multiple photographs, the plate is moved intermittently across the light aperture, and it may be dropped a step at each end of its motion to enable a number of rows of photographs to be taken on one plate. The back B, which may be applied to any suitable camera, contains a removable diaphragm 2, the light aperture 3 in which can be adjusted, according to the number of rows of photographs it is desired to produce, by a vertically adjustable hinged flap 4, Fig. 3, engaged by a catch 7 at one end and carried by an adjustable rod 6 at the other end. The plate holder 13 and its sheath 14 are provided with vertical guides 11 carried by a base 8 mounted on rollers 9. In producing photographs in rapid succession, the plate is moved horizontally intermittently by a pin on a chain 31 engaging a slotted part 33 hinged to the carrier. The chain 31 passes over sprocket-wheels operated by pawl and ratchet-wheel gearing 26 connected, as shown, to a crank spindle 19. The plate holder 13 has a pin 16 engaging a slot in the cover 14 and adapted to engage a hook 18 to hold the two parts together when removed from the camera. Before exposure, the holder and its cover are raised until a pin 35 engages a catch 36, and the pin 16 is brought above the upper of a series of guide shelves 38 arranged as shown. When the plate is moved into position to take the first photograph, the pin 35 is released, and the cover 14 drops. The distance the plate drops at the end of a row of photographs is determined by the guide shelves 38, which can be adjusted by their projecting ends 39, Fig. 4, so as to allow the plates to fall through a distance equal to the space between any number of shelves at once. When the camera makes its last reciprocation, it trips an indicator 40. To prevent exposure during the motion of the plate, there is used a shutter composed of two semicircular parts 41, 42 mounted on a shaft 43 operated in unison with the photographic plate by the gearing shown. The size of the shutter aperture 45 is adjusted by moving one part 42 with respect to the other part 41, the two parts being held together by locking- devices 44. When the camera is used as a multipleview camera with time exposures, the shutter is folded up, and the operating-gearing is dispensed with, the plate carrier being moved horizontally by a bar graduated to enable the carrier to be moved the proper distance ; when it is used as an ordinary plate camera, the diaphragm 2 may be removed also, and the plate-holder guides are arranged horizontally and the plate &c. holder is moved into and out of its cover by a rod engaging the pin 16.
