Granted: 1901-11-30
Abstract: 12,773. Batlle, J., and Bueno, J. June 22. Energy meters.-A commutator motor meter has a long drum armature u, having eleven coils forming two paths, with brushes c at 90‹ apart, to act as a four-pole armature in the fields produced by two rectangular main current coils g, the sides of which are placed symmetrically about the armature, as shown in horizontal section in Fig. 4. The brushes are connected in series with a german silver resistance R between the supply mains ; the main object of the invention is to reduce the loss of energy in this circuit. No iron is used in the magnetic circuits. The resistance R is arranged to produce an auxiliary field compensating for friction. The brushes and commutator are of silver. The commutator segments are attached by hot shellac and threads to a hard fibre tube ; this and two ebonite discs carrying the armature windings are placed on a copper tube, which is secured on a steel spindle. Rotation of the spindle is retarded by a copper disc moving in the field of a permanent magnet. The spindle is connected through two worm gears to a counter in which parallel number discs are connected by spur gearing. The spindle rests in a sapphire bearing, or can be held up by a screw when the meter is moved. The field coils are carried by brass holders i ; these and other parts of the meter are mounted on a frame j, made of aluminium alloyed with 10 per cent. of copper, and provided with a zinc cover and an outer lower cover, which is secured by a nut and a seal.

Abstract: 7843. Lake, H. H., [Giroux, L. D., and Seddon, L. E.]. April 3. Bottles, jars, etc.; stoppers; wiring bottles &c.- Relates to bottles, jars, or other receptacles applicable for use in sterilizing and preserving liquids &c., such as milk, oysters in their liquor, fruit preparations, wine, &c., or as ordinary storage vessels. The body a of the vessel is made in two parts, moulded in the ordinary way from wood pulp, paper stock, &c., and stiffened by a material such as glue, or a mixture of rice paste and an alcoholic solution of shellac. Less of the stiffening-material is applied to the neck, so that the mouth portion remains somewhat flexible. The receptacle is provided with a waterproof lining b of paraffin paper &c., and with a second lining c, which may be of metal, sheet aluminium being suitable. After the linings have been inserted, the two parts of the receptacle are united by glue or cement. When the vessel is to be employed for sterilizing the contents by an electric current, the metal lining c serves as one of the electrodes, and is provided with an extension c' to form a terminal. The second electrode e is inserted through the cork or other stopper d. When the sterilization is complete, the electrode e is partially withdrawn to allow the shutter f to be pushed in to close the aperture in the stopper, and is removed entirely after the shutter has been closed. When used as an ordinary storage or preserving vessel, the electrode e and the shutter are not employed. To secure a tight joint between the neck of the vessel and the stopper, a wire or cord is wound tightly round the neck, which, being flexible, is thus drawn in against the stopper. A tin shield i, Fig. 2, may be fitted over the stopper before the wire &c. is applied. A flat-topped cover h may be fitted on the vessel after it has been filled, to enable the vessels to be stored one on top of another.

Title: Improvements in Valves.
Inventor: FLETCHER JAMES ASHTON
Filed: 1902-07-08
Granted: 1903-06-18
Abstract: 15,209. Fletcher, J. A., and Wilcock, H. July 8. Sliding valves.-Consists in providing a resilient abutment for a wedge which forces apart the two faces of the valve. The valve, Fig. 1, is made in two parts b, b<1>, between which is a wedge c containing a spring d. At one end the spring abuts against a cottar pin i, which engages with lugs on the valve faces. The spring tends to force the wedge out, thus allowing the valve to collapse. When the valve is screwed down so as to close the way through the casing, the wedge c encounters an abutment f, which presses it inwards, and so forces the valve faces apart. This abutment rests on lugs m in the casing, and is held in place by pins g. It is made resilient so as to avoid risk of fracture owing to expansion by heat or other cause. Lift valves ; spindles. - The valve shown in Fig. 2 consists of a lift valve p actuated by a spindle q having a shoulder w which acts as an auxiliary valve and opens before the main valve when the spindle is turned, thus relieving the pressure on the main valve. For this purpose the spindle has a screw-thread s engaging with the main valve and of the same pitch as the main screw x. To enable the main valve to be turned and wiped on its seat, the spindle is made in two parts q, q<1>, connected by a coupling-box 2. This box is connected to the part q of the spindle by a collar 4 and a nut or flange 3, which is hexagonal and fits into an hexagonal hole in the box. The part q<1> of the spindle has a squared end 6, Figs. 3 and 4, which may be made in one with it, while the upper end of the coupling-box has an inwardlyprojecting flange 9 with a rectangular hole in it. The spindle and the, coupling-box are locked together by a ring 7, with downwardly-projecting lugs 12 which fill up the spaces between the sides of the squared end 6 of the spindle and the ends of the rectangular hole in the coupling-box, as shown in Fig. 5. The parts q, q<1> of the spindle can be disconnected, so as to be capable of independent rotation by lifting the ring 7. The rotation may be effected by means of projecting lugs 11 on the coupling-box, or by a key or spanner. The locking-ring may have three or more lugs 12, the other parts being correspondingly shaped.
