Patent GB-191121873-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electrically Controlled Railway Signals and the like.
IPC: B61L5/16
Filed: 1911-10-04
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 21,873. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Nov. 4, 1910, [Convention date]. Electro - magnetic interlocking - apparatus of gerteral application. - In arrangements of circuits to motors for electrically operating points and signals, the lead used to convey the power current is also used for the supervisory current. Two leads from the cabin to the points are used. The hand lever a, connected to the switch a1 depresses the armature b of the magnet d at each operation. In a simple form the switches a1 and b1 only are used, the former having two contacts only. To reverse the points the handle a is reversed to the position shown it Fig. 4, b is depressed and switches a1, b1 reversed. A circuit is closed from battery V1 over switch b1, magnet d, switch a1, lead l2, and switch g2 to the motor M, which reverses the points and the switches g1, g2. These switches disconnect the motor and connect the battery V2 to the lead l2, putting the two batteries in opposition, and weakening the magnet d which releases its armature and puts the supervisory magnet C in circuit with the battery V,. The switches a2, b2, b3 are added in order to shortcircuit either the motor M or the magnet C when not in use and the contact S serves to ensure energization of the magnet d before the pressure of the lever a on the armature b is removed in order to overcome difficulty due to retardation by self induction in the circuit which might prevent the magnet d from holding its armature.

Title: Improvements in Protective Devices for Alternating Current Electric Generators.
IPC: H02H7/06
Filed: 1914-03-03
Granted: 1915-02-25
Abstract: 5455. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Wedmore, E. B. March 3. Protective arrangements. - A protective arrangement for an alternating-current generator comprises a field switch which destroys the excitation of the generator and is adapted to be tripped open electrically only when the tripgear of the main or oil switch has responded to automatic conditions and the opening movement of the main switch has commenced. The invention is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1. The switch 5 in the main circuit of the alternator 4 is adapted, when opening automatically, to close a switch 9 and thus excite a trip-coil 10 controlling a field switch 8 which opens the circuit 7 of the exciter machine 6, at the same time closing a discharge circuit through a resistance 11. Alternatively, the field switch may be placed directly in the field of the alternator. An auxiliary contact 12 is opened by the opening movement of the switch 8 and cuts out the trip-coil 10. The auxiliary switch 9 may be disposed, as shown in Fig. 2, on the panel 14 adjacent to the oil-switch handle. In this construction, the automatic trip-coil 15 of the oil-switch breaks a toggle-joint 17, the links of which, when displaced, strike up a guided rod 20 adapted to close the switch 9. The switch 9 is not affected if the main switch is opened by depressing a button 24 and pulling out the handle. The Specification describes an arrangement in which a remote control electromagnetically-actuated main switch is employed, the switch being opened or closed by a remote two-way hand switch or tripped open by an automatic protective relay. The arrangement is such that the field switch is tripped open if the oil-switch opens automatically due to the operation. of the protective relay, but is not tripped if the oil-switch is opened by the operation of the remote hand switch.

Abstract: 18,247. Chayes, H. E. S. Aug. 1. Teeth, artificial. - A measuring-instrument to ensure parallelism of the supports in dental bridgework comprises two parts 6, 16, Figs. 1 and 4, slidably connected by a dovetail 8, adjusted by a screw 12, and set by a screw 20. Both parts carry clamps 27. The part 6 is calibrated upon its face 7 to indicate the distance between the lefthand clamp 27 of the part 6 and the clamps of the part 16, and is calibrated on its base to indicate the distance between the right-hand clamp of the part 6 and the left-band clamp of the part 16, the edge 30 of the part 16 serving as index. Assuming that the bridge is to be secured to tubes in two front teeth, a split pin in one back tooth, and a matrix inlay in another back tooth, caps 45, Fig. 8, with holes 46 are first made for the front teeth. Rods 31 held in clamps 27 upon the members 6, 16 and carrying tubes 32 are inserted in the nerve-canals. The tubes and caps are united by plaster in cups 42, and the caps 45 are filled with investing material. The cups 42, split rings 44, and the plaster are removed, and the caps 45 and tubes 32 are soldered together and cemented on the teeth. For the back teeth, an impression is taken of the mouth with pins projecting from the tubes 32 and with a rootcap 47, Fig. 13, and a matrix inlay shell 48 in position on the back teeth, and a plaster model shown diagrammatically in Fig. 13 is made therefrom. The measuring-instrument carrying a rod 31 projecting into one of the holes 32<a> and a tube 31<a> is adjusted to support a split pin 33 over the cap 47. The pin is attached to the cap first bywax and then by solder. The cap is then cemented over the tooth. A hood 34, Fig. 16, carried by a holder 36, is similarly fixed in the shell 48, which is then filled with an inlay and cemented into the tooth. An impression of the mouth is taken with pins in the holes 32, a tube over the pius 33, and a spring clip in the hood 34, and the bridge is prepared from this impression.
