Granted: 1910-04-27
Abstract: 7468. Stone & Co., J., and Darker, A. H. March 27, 1909. Centrifugal switches.-In a governor-operated main switch for the electric lighting, heating, cooling and ventilating of railway and other vehicles, the governor operates upon increase in speed to reduce resistance offered to the closure of the main switch. Contacts 11, 12, 13, 14 are mounted on segments h, h<1> of a ' floating ' disk, which is constantly urged towards the brushes 6, 7, 8 by a spring m. The disk is mounted on a sleeve which carries at its opposite end a number of arms o provided with carbon blocks p, which press against a flange r carried by a sleeve s. The sleeve s is constantly urged towards the blocks p by a spring t, its movement being limited by a stop x. A second stop w is provided to limit the movement of the sleeve j. As the speed of the armature increases, the centrifugal action of the governor weights 3 overcomes the action of the spring t and draws back the sleeve s, thereby permitting the spring m to close the switch. The segment h is formed with two peripheral recesses 21, the edges 22 of which engage with an abutment-piece 25, which serves to arrest the segment in one position or the other according to the direction of rotation of the shaft l. The stop 24, carrying the abutment 25, is also formed with a projection 26 which enters one of the recesses 21 when the segment is pushed forward in the correct position by its spring. The plates 12, 13 and 11, 14 are connected by ring portions 15, 16 which are electrified by brushes 17, 18, connected to the dynamo. The brushes 6, 7 are connected to the negative and positive mains respectively, and the brush 8 is connected to the magnet shunt windings. A switch 19, which is preferably actuated by a pawl-lever connexion with the sliding sleeve j, is adapted to close the circuit between the brush 7 and a contact plate 20 whenever the contact is broken between the brushes and plates.

Abstract: 16,093. Hall, R. F. July 6. Magneto-electric machines for ignition in internal - combustion engines are constructed with field magnets made in the form of arcs of circles, the armatures comprising a number of radial arms each wound with a primary and secondary coil. The field system consists of two sets of magnets h<1>, h<2>, separated by an air space j and having pole-pieces i. The armature comprises laminated arms a, detachable for winding, the primary coils being connected in series and to a contact-breaker e, and the secondary coils in series or parallel to a distributing brush l. The contact - breaker is operated by an internally-faced cam, the number of points of which, as well as the number of stationary distributor contacts, is equal to the number of cylinders. The stationary members of the distributor and contact-breaker are attached to a casing n, which, together with the magnets, is revoluble for timing. The number of poles and radial arms may be varied for different numbers of cylinders, and in a magneto for a single cylinder engine, the distributor is replaced by an axially - arranged brush bearing on a terminal connected to the sparking-plug.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Valve Mechanism for Fire Hydrants.
Inventor: LOFTON HERBERT MERRILL
IPC: E03B9/14
Filed: 1910-11-15
Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 26,561. Lofton, H. M. Nov. 15. L i f t valves; freezing, preventing; seats. - A hydrant for use on highpressure mains, constructed so that the stock may be removed without disturbing the valve, is provided with an auxiliary v a l v e seating on t h e main valve, and with drainage passages which are open only when the valves themselves are closed. The shoe A, Fig. 1, is i n t e r n a l l y threaded to receive the ring F on which the main valve D is seated. The valve is guided by inwardly - projecting lugs L on the seat ring, and lugs D<5> on the valve. The auxiliary valve E<4> is carried on the rod C', seats upon the main valve at E<8>, and is prevented from rotating by lugs working in grooves in the main valve. The lift of the auxiliary valve is limited by the flange E<2>, so that when this flange strikes the shoulder D<4> on the main valve, both valves move together. The auxiliary valve is provided with an annular passage E<1> having ports E<3>, D<3>, so that when the valve E<4> is lowered water passes through E<1>, filling the hydrant. When both valves are closed, D<3> is opposite the passages D<2>, F<2>. The passage F<2> leads into an annular groove G cut in the threads of the seat ring and shoe, and the water is finally drained off through the passage G<1>. The drainage passage F<2> is sealed, when the main valve is opened, by means of the leather strip D<6> carried on one of the lugs D<5> of the main valve. The valve rod C<1> is moved by the nut N, which is prevented from moving axially by the flange O and nut R. Leakage is prevented by the packing P. When used on low-pressure mains the auxiliary valve may be omitted, and in this case the water has direct access to the drainage passage in the seat ring from the top of the valve when closed, the passage being closed by the leather packing as before when the valve is open. In the form shown in Fig. 7, an unthreaded seat ring 9, Figs. 7 and 10, is used, being held down by the threaded ring 15 and provided with an undercut groove 9<a> into which the gasket 21 is forced, so as to be withdrawn when the seat ring is withdrawn. A number of outlet nozzles may be provided with shut-off gate valves. The valve 29 moves in the guides 32 having inclined parts 25 at the bottom, the gate end 26 being also inclined, This valve is moved by the screwed rod 30.
