Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 26,146. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Nov. 12, 1908, [Convention date]. Sparking, preventing.-In commutating-machines having uniformly distributed field iron, and chordwindings or brushes arranged on chords, a single commutating-coil h is used for each pair of commutating-points w. The commutating-coil is connected so as to oppose the compensating- coil c, and generates a flux at each of the points w. The width of the coil h is less than the amount of the shortening of the winding pitch by an amount equal to the breadth of one reversing-zone. The compensating - conductors may be strengthened where they adjoin the commutating-coils, as shown at c<1>.

Inventor: MARSCHIK SAMUEL
IPC: G06M1/06
Filed: 1910-03-17
Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 6726. Marschik, S. March 17. [Addition to 18,578/08.] Counters, arrangement of. -Apparatus of the type described in the parent Specification for registering the amount of work done by a loom in monetary units is provided with a series of toothed disks driven from the loom and adapted to perform one revolution for each unit of work. The disks are all of equal diameter and are provided with different numbers of teeth uniformly distributed over the periphery, and a sliding intermediate pinion is arranged to engage with one or other of the disks depending on the number of monetary units in a unit of work. One form of apparatus in which a single intermediate pinion is employed is shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The shaft I, driven from the loom, actuates the disks a<10>-a<20> through the gearwheels 1-5 so that they make one revolution for each work unit. The disks a<10>-a<20> are provided with from ten to twenty teeth respectively; and a slidably mounted pinion 6 can be moved by means of a lever 11 into engagement with any one of the disks. The rotation of the disks is transmitted through the pinion 6 and gearwheels 7, 8, 9 to the units wheel Z<1> of the counter. The pinion 6 is held in its set position by the lever 11 engaging notches in a graduated bar 13. Transfer mechanism.-The transfer between the numeral-wheels is effected by a two-toothed pinion on the lower wheel, on the completion of a revolution, rotating a pinion 46 connected through a pawl 47 and ratchet-wheel 48 to a pinion 50 engaging a pinion on the next higher wheel. Modified arrangements are described in which (1) two or more series of disks and two or more intermediate pinions are employed, the pinions gearing with the units and tens &c. wheels of the counter respectively; and (2) one series of disks and three intermediate pinions are employed. According to this form the pinions are so arranged that they are actuated successively by the disks, and gear respectively with the units, tens, and hundreds wheels of the counter. These modifications enable the apparatus to be used when the price involves more than one monetary denomination per unit of work.

Inventor: DICKSON ROBERT COCHRAN
Filed: 1910-09-02
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 20,476. Dickson, R. C. Sept. 2. Spray burners; burners, regulating. - In a liquid-fuel furnace more particularly adapted for heating air for use in drying tea, rubber, &c., in which the supply of fuel to the spray burner is automatically cut off when the pressure of the air supply falls below a certain point, the construction is such that the fuel supply is not automatically restarted when the air pressure resumes the normal. The burner consists of a block having passages controlled by valves k<3>, k<4> leading to a tapered air tube k<5> and a bent fuel tube k<6>, the block being secured to a casing through which further supplies of air may be drawn under control of a hit-andmiss ring damper. The fuel-supply controlling device C, shown in section in Fig. 7, is preferably in the form of a chamber made in two parts m, m<1> with a flexible diaphragm n between. The pressure of air admitted through the channel n' depresses the diaphragm and opens the valve p<1> against the spring p<4>, thus allowing the fuel to pass by way of the channels n<4>, n<5> to the burner. The supplies of air and fuel are started by depressing the diaphragm by means of the hand operated plunger o'.

Granted: 1911-12-06
Abstract: 28,352. Mershon, R. D. Jan. 5, [Convention date]. Resistances, electrolytic. Films on aluminium, tantalum, magnesium, and other electrodes to allow current to pass only in one direction, are subjected during or after their formation to a temperature higher than any to which they are subjected in subsequent use. The pressure of the forming current is preferably increased in steps, the current decreasing to a minimum at each pressure; when the maximum pressure, which is greater than that at which the films afterwards work, has been reached, the temperature may be raised in similar steps or continuously. The electrolyte contains borates, phosphates, or other salts, and preferably also the corresponding or other weak acids. If direct current is used, the cathodes may be of carbon, iron, or lead, or of material similar to that of the anodes, and the electrolyte may be unacidulated, being either left in the finished rectifier or the like or replaced by an acidulated electrolyte.
