Title: Improved Mode of Providing the Necessary Driving Power with an Intermittent Motion for Operating Milking Apparatus.
Inventor: SALENIUS ANDERS GUSTAF GUNNAR
IPC: A01J5/02
Filed: 1912-12-31
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 30,067. Salenius, A. G. G. Dec. 31.. Animal-power engines. -A milking-machine is actuated by the movements of the animal, for instance, by the action of breathing. In this case, a girth 7 is attached at one end to an adjusting - drum 6 and at the other to the piston 9 of a pump 4. The pump is mounted on a bar 3 with pads 2 and is connected by a pipe 5 with the milking-apparatus. In a modification, the girth is attached to a lever mounted on a frame beneath the animal. The energy produced may be stored instead of being directly applied to the milking-apparatus.

Abstract: 1214. Ripson, J. D., and Whitehead, W. G. Jan. 15. Current motors; driving and transmission mechanism, special application of; regulating.- A water-wheel adapted to be erected upon the bank of a stream is mounted upon a pivoted plate, so that, when horizontal, the buckets are held out of the stream, but when tilted up, one side of the wheel is immersed in the stream. The buckets 43, Figs. 1 and 2, are secured to arms 42 pivoted at 41, Fig. 1, to a plate 28, revolubly mounted upon a fixed shaft 24 and bearing upon a base-plate 18 to which is secured the shaft 24. The plate 28 is provided with teeth 29 which engage a bevel-wheel 10 situated within a housing 9. Power is taken from the wheel 10 by means of a bevel-wheel 60 and belt pulley 61. The plate 18 is pivotally mounted upon the housing 9 so that by means of a rack- and-pinion gear 19, 23 the wheel may be tilted into an horizontal position, thereby rendering it inoperative. The depth of immersion of the buckets 43 may be individually varied by operating windlasses 50, cables 47 passing from the buckets 43 to pulleys 46 carried by a revoluble collar 35, and thence to the windlasses. Adjustable tie-rods may take the place of cables and windlasses. Spacing-pieces 45, Fig. 2, extend between buckets, and are attached at one end only to the back of an adjacent bucket.

Granted: 1913-03-17
Abstract: 5545. Kettering, C. F. May 22, 1911, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Dynamos; regulating.-To enable the field of a compound differentially-wound generator to build up rapidly, a device influenced by the heating effect of the current is arranged to short-circuit initially the series winding. A resistance, such as iron wire, having a positive temperature coefficient may be connected in parallel with the series demagnetizing winding. The resistance initially short-circuits the series winding, but, as the speed of the generator rises, the temperature of the resistance increases and more and more current is sent through the series demagnetizing winding. Specifications 28,903/11 and 3794/12, [Class 38 (iv), Electric supply and transmission systems &c.], are referred to.

Title: An Improved Stop Valve.
IPC: F01B25/00
Filed: 1913-03-25
Granted: 1913-10-09
Abstract: 7158. Brotherhood, Ltd., P., Bryant, C. W., and Welch, J. H. Kemp-. March 25. Actuating. - A stop valve b closes automatically when the pressure on the discharge side rises above a predetermined w o r k i n g pressure, t h e excess pressure being arranged to disconnect a catch h from a projection w a n d thereby prevent the valve from being opened by the screwed operating-handled. The screwed operating - rod passes through a block c prevented from rotating by guides. When the parts are in the positions shown, rotation of the handle d forces open the valve. The pressure on the discharge side communicates with the upper part of a cylinder containing the piston m, which is forced down against a spring v when this pressure rises sufficiently. The rod l then tilts the lever h and frees the block e, and the pressure on the inlet side, acting on the valve, closes it. Rotation of the wheel d will not then open the valve until the catch w is again engaged by the lever h. Should the valve b leak and allow the pressure on the discharge side to increase after the valve has closed, the piston m travels further downwards carrying with it the lever h and relief valve spindle u. The piston may also be made to act as a relief valve.

Title: Improved Means for Increasing the Frequency of Alternating Currents.
IPC: H03B19/00

Granted: 1914-06-11
Abstract: 13,637. Marconi's Wireless Telegraphic Co., and Franklin, C. S. June 12. Frequency, changing. - To double the frequency of an alternating current, a rectifier, for example a mercury-vapour rectifier r, is used in conjunction with a source of polarizing electromotive force b and a transformer t. All three are connected in series with the source of alternating current a. By adjusting the value of the polarizing electromotive force, the duration of the rectified impulse through the rectifier may be varied. With a suitable electromotive force and a suitably tuned secondary circuit linked with the transformer, primary currents of double frequency circulate in the secondary. These currents may be fed to the same battery and rectifier passing through another transformer b<1> with a secondary tuned to four times the original frequency, as shown, and by repeating this arrangement with a transformer t<2>, a frequency of eight times the original may be obtained in a tuned secondary circuit i. Other even multiples may similarly be obtained.

Title: Improvements in Printing Press Controllers.

Granted: 1914-08-20
Abstract: 6743. Carpenter, C. E. July 1, 1913, [Convention date]. Driving printing-machines.-Printing-presses, of the kind fitted with automatic sheet-feeding devices driven by a clutch which is operated to stop the feeding-device in the event of imperfect feed, are so arranged that the clutch of the feeding-device automatically slows down the press when it is operated to stop the feed. The speed to which the printing-press is slowed is adjustable, and the arrangement is such that, on throwing in the feed clutch, the press attains its normal speed automatically. As shown, a movable clutch element 7 of a clutch 7, 8, which controls a sheet - feeding device, is arranged to operate a switch 6 of a motor control system which comprises an armature A, a shunt field circuit F, and a hand-switch 17, which, when closed, operates an electro-magnetic switch 3 to send a current from the mains L, L<1> to the motor. When the clutch elements 7, 8 are in engagement, the switch 6 is closed, and at the starting of the motor, an electro-magnet 16 operates a controlling-device 5 comprising the arm 12 of a rheostat formed of a series of resistances R', which are cut out of the armature circuit successively as the arm 12 moves over contacts 13, 14. The arm 12 finally meets a contact 15 and throws a rheostat 4 into the field circuit. The resistances R<1> and the rheostat 4 may be adjusted to cause the motor to run at the desired speeds. When the clutch element 7 is moved to stop the feed-device, it operates the switch 6 by means of a connecting- rod 9 or other suitable means, and the deenergization of magnet 16 operates the arm 12 to throw out the rheostat 4 and insert the resistances R' into the armature circuit, thereby reducing the speed of the motor to the required amount. A hand-operated switch 18 may be used to control the current to the electromagnet 16.
