Title: Improvements relating to Electric Telegraphy.
Inventor: BROWN SIDNEY GEORGE
Filed: 1904-05-02
Granted: 1905-03-23
Abstract: 10,073. Brown, S. G. May 2. Telegraphs. -In order to compensate for the effects of self-induction in cables in duplex working, inductance is introduced in front of, and at various points along, the artificial line. The inductance coils should be placed near together at the beginning of the line, and further apart towards the other end. In some cases, however, the inductance may be massed at a point half-way down the line, but this inductance should not replace that at the beginning of the line. The inductance coils may be inserted between the turns in the zig-zag conductor in the artificial line boxes or between the boxes themselves. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement, a variable inductance G being inserted between the usual resistance F and the boxes a' of the artificial line. Inductance coils a are shown between the boxes a<1> and also at H in the arms of the bridge. When using a magnetic bridge, as described in Specification No. 1434, A.D. 1899, the bridge windingis provided with a fine adjustment I, Fig. 3, adapted to add inductance to either the cable or artfficial line. The apex of the bridge is at d<Î>, so that the rheostat i adds inductance to the cable section A<x> and the rheostat i<1> to the artificial line section B<Î>. The inductances a<0>, b<0>, a<Î>, b<Î> serve for rough adjustment. The inductances a<Î>, b<Î> are arranged so that they can be cut out if desired. The inductance coils may take the form of a spirally-wound tin-foil strip as described in Specification No. 9040, A.D. 1902. Fig. 4 shows the iron magnetic circuit of the inductance coils for the bridge described in Specification No. 1434, A.D. 1899, the top l being arranged for removal so as to admit the winding. The notches l<1> afford passages for the leading-out wires k.

Patent GB-190602439-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Safety Devices for Elevators or Lifts.
Inventor: LOWRY WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-01-31
Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 2439. Lowry, W. Jan. 31. Safety suspending-apparatus ; overwinding, preventing.-Relates to safety suspending-mechanism for the cages of mine and other lifts of the type in which gripping-levers come into operation automatically if either breakage of the hoisting- cable or overwinding should occur, and comprises an arrangement of the parts. Fig. 3 shows the invention in side elevation, as applied to a mine cage. The levers 5, connected by chains 8 and rod 27 to the hoisting-cable, are pivoted on rods 4 passing across the cage, and are provided at their inner ends with eccentric gripping-dogs 2 adapted to engage the wooden guides. Simultaneous actuation of the dogs at opposite sides of the cage is ensured by cross-rods 6. The levers 5 are subjected on the one hand to the tension of the chains 8, and on the other to the tension of the springs 11, which tend to bring the dogs into the gripping-position. The levers are guided by bars 14, and their upward movement is limited by a stop, so that the weight of the cage is not normally taken by the springs. When the levers 5 are drawn down by the springs, the latter are relieved of the strain of holding the dogs in operative position by means of swinging ratchet bars 18 engaging fixed stops 20. When the guides are formed of metal, the dogs 2 have each a single tooth which is swung into engagement with notches formed in the guides in the event of the hoisting- cable parting. When wire-rope guides are used, the dogs are replaced by a pair of grooved jaws adapted to nip the rope between them. To prevent the mechanism from coming into action when the cage is at rest either at the upper or lower level, the guides, if wooden, are provided with metal plates, or, if they are of metal, the notches are discontinued for a short distance at the places where the dogs would otherwise act. The means for disengaging the cage from the hoisting-cable in the event of an overwind are shown in Fig. 7. The bar 27, from which are suspended the chains 8 connected to the grip-levers, has teeth formed at its upper end, which are engaged by pivoted jaws 32 which are extended upwards and connected by toggle links 39, 41 to a pair of clamps securely fixed to the hoisting-cable 9. The inner ends of these links work in slots in the clamps, and spiral springs are provided which normally keep the levers extended and the jaws 32 in engagement with the teeth on the bar 27. In the event of an overwind, the upper ends of the levers are pressed together by engagement with a fixed conical casing, thereby opening the jaws and releasing the bar 27. A set of catches such as are shown in Fig. 8 may be provided to support the cage after an overwind has taken place, in order that the safety suspending- gear may be repaired if necessary.
