Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 4691. Bergmann Elektricitõts Werke Akt.-Ges. March 12, 1912, [Convention date] Drawings to Specification. Alternating-current commutator machines.- Relates to apparatus for reversing the running of polyphase commutator motors in which the speed regulation and reversal are effected by displacing the brushes and in which the direction of rotation of the stator field is changed when the direction of running is reversed. The invention consists in separating entirely the regulating-lever for displacing the brushes from the commutating-switch which alters the direction of rotation of the stator field by changing over two phases of the stator winding. A handlever may be used to displace the brushes, and the commutating-switch may be thrown over either mechanically or electrically through the action of the motor itself. For example, the main motor may drive a small separatelyexcited direct-current generator which supplies current to an auxiliary motor for operating the switch, the auxiliary motor reversing when the main motor is reversed.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Selecting Devices for Telephone Systems.
IPC: H01H67/06
Filed: 1913-10-15
Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 23,336. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Oct. 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Automatic and semi-automatic exchange systems; selectors.--The hunting-movement of a power-driven preliminary selector, call-finder, or group selector is controlled by an escapement which is oscillated by the driving-force of the selector itself, so that, to bring the selector to rest, it is only necessary for the test magnet to hold the escapement in a position to which it has been moved mochanically. The extent to which the test magnet must be magnetized in order to stop the selector is thus reduced to a minimum, and the selector may consequently be operated at a high speed. If the test circuits are of the kind in which the test magnet is kept energized as long as non-selectable lines are under test, the locking of the escapement when an idle line is reached is effected by a spring 17, Fig. 3, the effect of which is counterbalanced by the attraction of the armature 8 as long as the magnet P is energized. The circuits for this arrangement, as applied to a preliminary selector, are shown in Fig. 4. When the subscriber X takes down his receiver, the winding p<1> of the test magnet P is energized over the calling line and starts the selector by unlocking its escapement. As long as busy lines are under test, the magnet P is kept energized over the test wiper C, but when an idle line is reached the magnet P de-energizes and the selector is locked by the spring 17. The deenergization of the magnet P completes a circuit through the winding t<4> of the cut-off relay T, the winding p<5> of the magnet P, and a fourth wiper D of the selector. The relay T is energized but the current is insufficient to energize the magnet P. The release of the selector is initiated by short-circuiting a resistance W. This increases the current in the circuit D sufficiently to energize the magnet P, which unlocks the selector and closes a locking-circuit through its own winding p' and the winding t' of the relay T, so that both magnets are kept energized until the contact k is opened by the return of the selector to normal. The selector shown in Fig. 3 is driven by a slip-cord 16, but the invention is also illustrated in its application to a selector driven by a magnetic clutch, the test magnet in this case serving to control the circuit of the clutch magnet as well as the escapement. In the application of the invention to call-finders, the escapement may be normally locked by the armature of a starting- relay, and this relay may have a second, and more quickly acting armature which closes the circuit of the test magnet before the call-finder is unlocked. This arrangement is to ensure the call-finder remaining stationary if it should happen to be already on the terminals of the calling line.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Train Electric Control Systems.
Inventor: STARIE BERNARD
IPC: B61L3/22
Filed: 1914-02-17
Granted: 1915-03-25
Abstract: 4131. Starie, B. Feb. 17. Wireless systems.-A train entering a block section when the block section ahead is occupied receives a danger signal, but may proceed. If in the meantime the occupying train does not leave the block section ahead, the following train receives a second danger signal on entering that section. For this purpose, the wave wire 1 of each block section is extended into the preceding section. As in the system described in Specification 7621/10, the wave wire of a block section is energized except when the block section ahead is occupied. The main collecting-device or harp 6, when it receives energy from the wave wire, maintains the circuit of a relay 15 closed by means of a coherer 13 and thereby causes the energization of a magnet 9, which holds the main harp in circuit by means of an armature 14, and the brake valve closed by means of an armature 26 and a circuit between bus - bars 19, 20. When the wave wire is de-energized, the coherer 13 fails, and the magnet 9 is deenergized. The holding-circuit of the brake valve 28 is broken at 26, the circuit of the safety indicator 25 is broken at 24, and the circuit of a danger indicator is closed at 22. The valve 28, in opening, bridges contacts 29, 30 in a circuit of a relay 31, which thereupon closes at 33, 34 a self-holding circuit, and at 35, 36 a circuit for the magnet of the brake valve. When the brake valve is reclosed by hand, its magnet holds it closed so long as a circuit through 35, 36 is maintained, and so the train is permitted to proceed. If the train arrives at the next block section while that section is occupied, the rearward extension 5 from the wave wire of that section will be energized, and the main wave wire of the preceding section will be still deenergized. Thus, the pick-up harp 10, which is in circuit because the armature 14 rests on a contact 12, will cause the coherer 13 to close the circuit of the relay 15 and energize the magnet 9. The armatures being raised, the circuit of the relay 31 is broken at 22, and the holding-circuit of the brake valve through 35, 36 is broken, causing a second application of the brakes. To prevent further successive brake applications, the extension 5 is masked by a metal shield 4, except for a short distance at its end. The coherer 13 is carried by a shaft 47 having a pinion engaged by a band 38. Projections 39, 40 on the cord cause contacts 41, 43 and 44, 45 to be closed when the solenoid 37 is de-energized. Circuits through these contacts energize the solenoid 37 and a relay 46, and the cord, in moving upwards, breaks the contacts 41, 43 of the relay, which, as it becomes deenergized, breaks the circuit of the solenoid. As the relay is slow to de-energize, the solenoid holds the coherer still sufficiently long to allow it to cohere.

Abstract: 4729. Auto Wheels, Ltd., Pooley, A. M., and Vallat, F. W. Feb. 24. Tanks. - A fuel-tank for internal-combustion engines is provided with means for adding to the petrol a definite proportion of oil for the purpose of lubricating the engine. A measuring-tube 2 placed in the tank 1 is closed at the bottom by a valve 3 connected by a chain 4 and spring 8 to a filling- cap 5. The capacity of the tube 2 bears approximately to that of the tank 1 the ratio of the quantity of oil it is desired to add to the fuel. Oil is first poured into the tube 2, the valve 3 being closed, and the valve is then opened to allow the tank to be filled with petrol through the tube 2. If the tank is partly filled with the mixture and it is desired to fill it completely, the same procedure is adopted, the tube 2 being first filled to the top with oil. The correct proportion of oil is thus added to the additional fuel that is inserted. If the tank is of uniform crosssection, the tube 2 is cylindrical; but in tanks of other forms, the tube is so shaped that its cross-sectional area and that of the tank are approximately proportional at all levels. As shown in Fig. 4, the tube is tapered.
