Title: Improvements in and connected with the Insulation of Electric Conductor Windings or Coils made of Aluminium or Aluminium Alloys.
Inventor: KUETTNER ERNST WOLFGANG
IPC: H01B3/10
Filed: 1909-07-07
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 15,896. K³ttner, E. W. July 7. Coating.-Conductor windings or coils of aluminium or aluminium alloys are insulated by immersing the coils in a hot liquid, such as an aqueous solution of caustic soda or sodium carbonate, soda lye, or water, and then rarefying the air in the containing vessel. The coils may be heated in the liquid, for instance by passing a current through the winding, and the hot or cold liquid may be subjected to pressure subsequent to the rarefaction process, and the finished and dried coils may be lacquered to prevent the penetration of moisture. Should the total cross-sectional area of the winding be less than 200 times that of a single wire, the coils may be simply immersed for several hours in a hot or cold solution and then dried. Some of the above solutions facilitate the removal of grease and other foreign matter on the surface of the wire.

Granted: 1910-05-26
Abstract: 17,153. Valentine, H. July 23. Regulators. - Windmills are thrown wholly or partly out of operation during dangerous fluctuations of the wind by means of a pivoted steering-tail controlled by a spring and a catch device; special bearings and lubricating - means are provided. A turntable A furnishes supports C for the cups f of the main-shaft bearings, and provides an oil-well G in which dips an endless chain j suspended on the shaft c<1> and prevented from creeping by the shape of the well ; or, the free end of a chain may dip into the well, the other end being secured to the shaft. Pivoted to the turntable is a steering-tail B, which is locked by a catch D against the tendency of a spring h to swing it into the inoperative position. A movement of the tail B against the cam-face d<3> of the catch D lifts this, and a weight d<1> swings it clear of the tail which is then swung into the inoperative position by the spring h. and, in the course of its motion, re-sets the catch D by means of the arm b<1> which it carries. The initial and resetting movements of the tail B are effected by a wire e passing over a pulley e<1>. The tail is released automatically by a sudden variation in the direction of the wind. It may be arrested at an intermediate position by a stop l which may take the form of a pawl controlled by the wire e.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Measuring the Superficial Area of Leather and like Material.
Inventor: SCHETTLER GUSTAV ADOLF
Filed: 1909-08-20
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 19,156. Schettler, G. A. Aug. 20. Surface-areas, computing.-In apparatus of the Sawyer type for measuring the area of leather &c., the usual measuring-wheels are replaced by pinwheels adapted to actuate the index hand through the system of totalizing-levers, which is provided with pivotal connexions of knife-edge form. Zeroizing-means, and an adjustable slide which can be sealed in position on the measuring-bar to prevent interference with the measuring-apparatus, are also described. The feed-roller 1, Fig. 1, is grooved at intervals representing the unit of length adopted, and, in the absence of a sheet of leather &c., the area of which is required, gravity or spring controlled pins 5, Fig. 3, equidistantly mounted in measuring-wheels 2, descend into the grooves and thus do not actuate the pinions 10. The pinions are carried by the usual levers 3 which support the measuring-wheels, but each is longitudinally movable along its shaft 11. When a sheet of leather is inserted, the measuring-wheels together with the pinions 10 are raised, but the position of the worm 12 which engages with the worm-wheel 13 is not affected, and those pins 5 that are prevented from falling by the material passing beneath the measuring-wheels, rotate the pinions 10 and actuate the index-hand through the flexible metallic connexion 16, totalizing system of levers 8, Fig. 1, connexion 40, and measuring- bar 39. The measuring-bar 39 is provided with a slide 43, Fig. 5, to which the last lever of the integrating-system is connected. The elide can be adjusted in position by means of the micrometer screw 42, and is then clamped by the screws 47, the heads of which are locked by a wire 48 secured and sealed at 49. In a modification, shown in Fig. 4, the pinions 10 and worms 12 are dispensed with, and the pins 5 directly actuate rocking levers 34 which communicate their motion to a driving-pawl 29. Stops are so arranged that the pawls in their initial position are disengaged from the ratchet-wheels 28 ; consequently these wheels can be zeroized directly the detent-pawls 32 are disengaged from them. This is accomplished by any suitable means. Zeroizing-mechanism.-To zeroize the wheels 13, the worms 12 can be disengaged from the wormwheels by means of a bar 22, which can be rocked or swung by a suitable link 26, and lever, pinion, and rack 25, 24, 23 ; the worm-wheels are thereupon returned to their normal position by weights or springs.

Granted: 1911-01-18
Abstract: 1281. Marks, E. C. R., [Electro Mechanical Works]. Jan. 18. Switchboards; switches, interlocking. - In a branch exchange telephone system in which means are provided on one switchboard for making connexion with a main exchange by depressing one plunger and with an extension by depressing another plunger it is arranged that the depressed plunger of the main exchange is held by a latched plate, and is not released by the depression of the extension plunger, which is held by another latched plate. The depression of a second extension plunger causes the release of the previously depressed extension plunger, but not of the exchange plunger; and the hanging up of the receiver causes all plungers to be released. Views of part of a switchboard are shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 5. The plunger 9 operates the springs 4b of the main exchange circuit and is held by the projection 20 and latched plate 14. The plungers 10 operate the springs 4<c>, 4<d> of the intercommunication lines and are held by projections 22 and plates 16. The plate 15 opens the home switch 4<a> by the stud 25 when any plunger is depressed. The leads from the main exchange terminate in the springs b<1>, b<2>, and on the depression of a plunger 9 these are connected to the transmitter. When one station wishes to call another, the operator depresses the corresponding plunger 10 to its farthest extent, whereupon the stud 20 shown in Fig. 1 makes contact between the springs c<4>, c<5> and closes a ringing-circuit. When pressure is removed from the plunger 10, it is held by the latched plate to close contact between the springs c<1>, c<2> and c<3>, c<4>, thus closing a speaking circuit through the instruments at the station. When the receiver R, shown in Fig. 1, is hung up, the stud 35 operates the usual switches, and the attached lever 31 bears on the nose 29 and depresses the dog 26, which is attached to the latch plate 16. The pin 38 shown in Fig. 5 simultaneously depresses the plate 14 so that all the depressed plungers are released by the plates. After a certain depression of the dog 26, it is rotated by the eccentric 37 sufficiently to allow the end of the lever 31 to fall between the two arms of the dog, whereupon the latch plates return to normal position under the action of their controlling-springs. Corresponding springs of the groups 4<c>, 4<d> are connected by bus-bars 50. In a modification, the functions of both plates 14, 16 are performed by one plate.
