Abstract: 24,152. Podmore, A. E. Oct. 18. Incandescent gas burners; burners, attaching and adjusting.-An inverted burner of benttube type, as described for instance in Specification 7791/08, has an air or mixing chamber a with a tubular extension g adapted to project at different distances into the burner-tube h, in order to vary the sharpness of flow of the gaseous mixture. The two may be held in adjusted position by means such as a set-screw j, and a collar p may be provided to limit the extent of the adjustment. The burner-tube h may be rigidly held in the lamp by means of a screwed lug l secured by a nut m to a slotted arm n, which is similarly secured to another burner in the same lamp, or is carried by a supporting-tube or standard. The burner has a connector-plug c, which is connected at one end to the gas-pipe d or other fitting, the other end being threaded to receive a nipple b which may be flat-sided to facilitate insertion or removal. The air-chamber a preferably fits on the plug c without screwing, and is interchangeable with others having air-inlets of different area. An elbow-shaped connector s, Fig. 5, may be used, with a screw t allowing access to the nipple for cleaning purposes. When the air supply requires filtering, the air inlets may be covered by a hood u, Fig. 6, which has a gauze or like disk w and is held in place by nuts v, x.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Remote Control Systems for Electrically-driven Vehicles.
IPC: B66C13/40
Filed: 1910-05-27
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 10,550. Elektromotoren-Werke Hermann Gradenwitz. May 27,1910, [Convention date]. Electric equipment.-In a control system for electrically-driven vehicles provided with hoisting-gear, a single conductor conveys the current for operating the motors and for actuating the controller of the vehicle. The controller on the vehicle is actuated by the core of a solenoid M with two windings. These consist of a shunt winding connected between the line a and earth, and a series winding connected between the line a and a contact of the switch G. At a point remote from the vehicle, the starting- rheostat is inserted in a gap in the line a by opening the switch c. With the arm g in its initial position, the current flows from the line 1 through the resistances f, e, the line 2, the collector L, and the shunt winding of the solenoid M to earth. This causes the core of the solenoid to rise, against the pull of a spring, to operate the controller and to close the switch G, which is held closed by the current which then passes through the series coil of the solenoid and the motors. This current is insufficient to start the motors, and starting is effected by cutting out the resistance f. The resistance e may then be cut out as usual. To switch from 'forward driving' to 'backward driving' omitting the intermediate operations of 'lowering' and 'hoisting,' the lever g is moved to its 'off' position and then moved three times to its first contact, thereby causing the solenoid core to be operated three times. The solenoid core is locked in its ' on' position, except at the loading and unloading places, by a lug 0 on the collector L. The line conductor a is raised at the loading places to allow the collector to release the lock. A socket and plug D, E may be used if the starter is to be portable.

Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 23,214. Ruthardt & Co. Oct. 31, 1910, [Convention date]. Centrifugal and dynamometric governors.-A shaft coupling, applicable as a governor, comprises balls s in oppositely-inclined helical slots or grooves d, c in adjacent disks b, a. The torque tends to carry the balls to the inner ends of the grooves, but centrifugal force, as the speed increases, forces the balls radially outwards and causes an angular advance of the driven shaft in relation to the driving-shaft, which in the application indicated above may be utilized to vary the time of ignition. The disks b, a are respectively attached to the driving and driven shafts. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an arrangement in which the members a, b are combined as a self-contained casing by monnting one member rotatively on the other, the carrying-member being pinned to one shaft while a rigid fastening or a spring coupling allowing radial play connects the second member to the other shaft. This snbject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
