Patent GB-191020212-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Movable Targets.
Inventor: WHITNEY ASA NORMAN
IPC: F41J9/02
Filed: 1910-08-30
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 20,212. Whitney, A. N. Aug. 30. [Cognate Application, 28,560/10.] Targets. - Relates to electrical means for operating and illuminating targets, of the kind described in Specifications 6151/08 and 28,908/09. According to the first arrangement, the current passes through the two carriage rails, a motor on the carriage, and two spring: arms in contact with two insulated wheels at one side of the carriage. The circuit is closed by a simple switch, and the carriage may run round a complete circuit or may be returned to the starting-point by gravity &c. In another arrangement, the current is supplied to the motor by the two carriage rails and two insulated rails, and is reversed by a four-part switch. Fig. 3 shows a driving-motor a with permanent field-magnets, the current through the two rails b, c, insulated wheels d, e, and double spring contact arms j, k being reversed by a switch s. Fig. 4 shows a reversing-switch t on the carriage, operated by a trip lever u coming in contact with a stationary bar v carried by parallel links w. The motor is first stopped, and is then reversed by raising the bar v against the force of a spring x by a wire x<1>. In a modification, the trip lever moves over one step to stop the current, and the momentum of the carriage carries the lever up a second step to reverse the motor. Fig. 6 shows a live-stud system' for causing the carriage to travel backwards and.forwards between any two points on an endless track Two series of studs 1, 2 ... 9,10 and 11,12 ... 19, 20 are arranged between the rails, and any stud can be put in communication with the source of power by moving the corresponding switch w<1> or w<2> on to the desired contact at the end of 'the' wire. When a spring contact arm on the carriage comes in contact with the predetermined stud, a circuit is completed through an electro-magnet on the carriage and the armature reverses a switch, thus reversing the current through the motor. The carriage then travels back until a contact arm completes a circuit through a stud of the other series, whereupon the motion is again reversed. In another arrangement, a four-part reversing- switch on the carriage is operated to cut off the current to, and then reverse the main motor, by an auxiliary motor with permanent field-magnets on the carriage, and a reversing- switch near the source of power. Fig. 9 shows electric lamps 12 carried by the target beam 11 and protected by shields 13.

Title: Improvements in Winding Apparatus for Mines, Lifts, and the like.
Inventor: RANDALL FRED
IPC: B66B5/08
Filed: 1911-03-14
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 6422. Randall, F. March 14. Dash-pots.-Relates to fluid - pressure controlling - apparatus for mines, lifts, &c., and consists in making a winding-drum A in the form of a cataract cylinder H, which is threaded internally to engage with a piston J sliding on a squared part of the fixed shaft K. As the drum is rotated, the piston moves from one end of the cylinder to the other, the fluid with which the cylinder is filled escaping past the piston through a groove N in the shaft. The cylinder communicates through passages Q in the shaft with one or more cylinders P having loaded pistons so that, when the fluid pressure becomes excessive, a piston is actuated and the motive-power of the winding-engine thereby cut off. The groove K does not extend to the ends of the cylinders, so that as the piston J reaches the ends of its stroke, the fluid pressure rises sufficiently to stop the winding-engine. A pump T communicates through pipes S and the passages Q with the cylinder H so that fluid may be supplied as required to make up for waste. In a modification, the cylinder H may be separate from the drum A and fixed, and the shaft and piston J may rotate. In another modification, the shaft and piston are screwthreaded instead of the cylinder and piston, means being provided for preventing rotation of the piston.

Title: A Thermoelectric Heating and Cooling Body.
Inventor: ALTENKIRCH EDMUND
IPC: F25B21/02
Filed: 1912-04-03
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 8050. Altenkirch, E., and Gehlhoff, G. April 3. Thermo-electric batteries.-Arrangements of elements through which electric current is passed to effect heating and cooling, by utilizing the Peltier effect, are shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The positive elements a may consist of 75 parts of antimony and 25 parts of cadmium, and the negative elements b of 90 parts of bismuth and 10 parts of antimony. The heat - yielding junctions have a larger surface than the cooling junctions in proportion to the amounts of heat given out and absorbed. In one form, shown in Fig. 1, the elements a, b are circular or other rings, differing in thickness according to their heat-conductivity and connected alternately at the inside and outside.by copper or other sleeves c, which may be attached variously. They are separated by insulating-disks d of paper, mica, or the like, the whole forming a tube through which may flow a liquid to be cooled, or which may be used for cooling a cupboard. The fluids inside and outside such a tube may be different and at different pressures. If cooled brine is used inside, for instance in making small quantities of ice at intervals, the hot junctions are cooled sufficiently by the air; otherwise they may be water-cooled. The elements a, b may be made by casting, or by compressing powders between the sleeves c, or the latter may be slipped on or into the former when hot or cold, or soldered, galvanized, or amalgamated. Other elements, of tapering section may be used instead of rings, and may be sectorial, wedge-shaped, or conical, and the hot junctions may be cut and connected to copper strips to dissipate heat. In a modification, to obtain greater differences of temperature, tubular assemblages are arranged co-axially, with heat-conducting insulation such as oiled paper between them, and are connected electrically in series. Fig. 3 shows a further modification, in which co-axial assemblages are connected electrically in parallel. The same sleeves c serve to make the hot junctions of one assemblage and the cold junctions of that outside, these being at the same temperature. The electric resistance of each assemblage is smaller than that of the one inside it in the same proportion that the heat given out in the latter one is greater than that absorbed. A desired temperature-difference can be obtained by using sufficient assemblages, each, for instance, adding a difference of 4 C. The number of couples and the voltage may be increased by dividing the rings into sectors. According to the Provisional Specification, the couples connected in parallel may have a constant cross-section, the assemblage forming a cube or plate.

Abstract: 27,011. British Thomson-Houston Co., Ash, J. J., and Watson, A. H. St. C. Nov. 23 Equalizing l o a d on generators.-A system for equalizing the load taken by an induction motor G coupled to a fly-wheel by automatically inserting resistance R into the rotor circuit as the load comes on, comprises a solenoid switch K, excited by a current proportional to, but considerably less than, that in the stator circuit and controlling the windings and the resistance contactors in the rotor circuit so that they open in reverse succession when the stator current exceeds a predetermined value. A current transformer T is perferably used to excite the switch K, and this switch preferably operates through a relay L. In the system shown, the relay L has differential windings arranged to open its contacts when the switch K opens owing to the load. This opens the circuit of the coil of the last contactor closed F, which is led by auxiliary contacts thereon through the relay contacts. The next contactor coil in reverse order, E, D, &c. is placed in series with the relay switch by these auxiliary contacts as such contactor opens, so that resistance is progressively inserted in the rotor circuit as long as the switch K is open. The system is of the kind described in Specification 6567/09, [Class 38 (iii), Electric motor control systems &c.], and the elimination of resistance in the rotor circuit is controlled by current limiting relays as described in Specification 15,322/11, [Class 38 (iii), Electric motor control systems &c.].
