Title: Lubricators
Inventor: DALRYMPLE THOMAS AKIN
Filed: 1907-04-27
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 9843. Dalrymple, T. A., and Burnside, R. April 27. Lubricators.-A multiple-delivery lubricator of the condensation type for lubricating the cylinders of steam-engines for locomotives, marine engines, &c. comprises a condensing-globe 2 from which condensation water passes through a valve 3 and pipe 4 to an oil reservoir 5. The displaced oil flows down a pipe 6 and channel 7 to a number of nozzles 10, each provided with a regulating-valve 8. The nozzles are placed in separate cells 11 formed by partitions 13 in a chamber 12, and provided with sight glasses 33, each of which has an annular collar 34 compressed between packing 35 by a nut 37. Each cell is fitted with a baffle-plate 15 formed at its apex with an orifice 16 for the escape of oil, and with orifices 23 through which water of condensation passes to the lower part of the cell. The water is derived from an equalizing-pipe 18 connected to a pipe 21 from which passages 22 lead into each of the cells 11, the pressure in the cells and in the reservoir 5 being thus equalized The oil rises in drops through the water in the cells and passes to the discharge pipes 24, where it is vaporized and forced into the engine cylinders. The reservoir 5 and cells 11 are provided with cocks 25, 26 for the purpose of cleaning the lubricator. Each cell is fitted at the top with a plug 27. Oil is suppliel to the reservoir by means of an aperture closed by a plug 29. The reservoir is fitted with a sight glass 40.

Title: Improved Machine for Producing Impressions upon Tickets and the like
Inventor: GOEBEL JEAN
Filed: 1907-07-01
Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 15,129. Goebel, J. July 1. Dating railway tickets and the like.-Railway tickets &c. are stamped with the date either alone or in combination with another impression, such as " return ticket," according to which side of the slot b they are inserted into. The slot b is provided with one or several adjustable stops or guides f for ensuring that the ticket is correctly placed. The stop f, which is shaped in cross-section as shown in Fig. 1<a>, is carried on a slide g, which is moved by a knob k and stem k<1> and abuts against a shoulder h. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the stop is constructed in the form of a two-armed lever m pivoted in the centre and provided with a stem m<1> projecting to the outside. Each arm has a projection i, j respectively, either of which may be made to project into the slot b. A pointer and handle are attached to the stem m<1> outside the casing. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, a flap r is adapted to oscillate about a central pivot and is attached to a stem r', to which a turning key mav be fitted. Each wing of the flap projects through and operates a slide stop o or p. In all the constructions described, the movable parts may be compelled to occupy an exact end-position by means of springs or falling weights. Instead of the marks " date and " return," the dies can be provided with any character, and a series of dies may be arranged.

Title: Improvements in Synchronizing Apparatus for Dynamo Electric Machines
Inventor: MACGAHAN PAUL
Filed: 1907-07-18
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 16,514. Macgahan, P. July 26,1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dynamos, synchronizing; motors, synchronizing.- In the method of automatically connecting an alternating-current machine to alternating-current mains at synchronism described in Specification No. 7891, A.D. 1906, in which the main switch is controlled by an auxiliary circuit, which is normally open and includes a switch comprising a fixed contact and two movable contacts operated by electromagnets, each of the electro-magnets is provided with two windings connected respectively to the mains and the machine, the windings of one electromagnet being arranged to act in conjunction with one another, and those of the other in opposition to one another when the currents in the windings are in phase. The windings 15, 71, Figs. 1 and 3, of the electro-magnets are connected to the machine to be connected to the mains 54, 55, and the windings 16, 72 are joined to the mains 54, 55, switches 68, 69, 70 being used to effect these connexions. When synchronism occurs, the core 13 is drawn down, bringing the contact 21 into engagement with the contact-strip 38 and so completing the circuit of the electro-magnet 63, which raises the core 62 and allows the weights 59 to close the main switch. The dash-pot cylinder 20, mounted on the angular bracket 19, is balanced by a weight 22 on the other end of the beam 11, and the lever 25 and link 30 connecting the piston 24 with the arm 31 are balanced by a weight 73 adjustable in position on a screw-threaded rod 74. A hub on the arm 31, which is loosely mounted on the shaft 32, is connected by a spiral spring 37 to a pin 35 on the segmental block 34, which is rigidly mounted on the shaft 32, the pin 35 being adapted to engage with a screw 75 in the outer end of a pin 33 secured to the arm 31. The stationary brush 40, which is mounted on a pin 41 and is adapted to engage the contact-strip 38 on the segmental block 34, is pressed against the strip by a spring 46. A block 44 carried by the brush 40 engages a pin 45 on the block 34 when the brush 40 becomes disengaged from the strip 38. To permit re-engagement with the strip 38, the brush 40 is raised by the engagement of a post 49 on the bar 11 with a hook or catch 48. When the mains 54, 55 and the machine momentarity agree in phase but differ considerably in frequency, the core 13 will be quickly drawn down and the block 34 moved to carry the strip 38 out of engagement with the brush 40. The block 44 is released from engagement with the stop 45 as the beam 11 returns to its normal position. One of the electro-magnets may be replaced by a spring as in the above-mentioned Specification.

Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 19,174. Burleigh, J. W. Aug. 26. Field magnets.- The field - magnet poles of dynamos, motors, motorgenerators, &c. are excited, for example in the two-pole machine shown in Fig. V, by means of two coils, of which one 6 is of arched or U- shape and embraces one pole piece 5 only, while the other coil 7 is of ogee or S-shape and has its ends lying up against or close to different pole-pieces 5, 5<1>. The straight parts 8, 9 of the coils are arranged to lie parallel to, and as closely as possible over the armature coils undergoing commutation. The ends of the coils 6, 7 may be inclined to the straight parts 8, 9 instead of being perpendicular thereto. Among other advantages, sparking is prevented and cooling is facilitated. The two coils may be so connected as to constitute a single coil.

Thread-spooling machines.-In a device for laying hold of the thread, inserting it in a nick in the spool flange, severing it, and retaining the unwound end, the thread is positioned, when the spool is full, by a threadguide shunting-device such as that described in Specification 15,084/02, and is then engaged by a hooked arm a, which is oscillated about its pivot b by a link c operated by a rock-shaft e. This arm a carries the thread between a knife g and a spring clip h mounted on a block f, which is turned on the stud b by a link j and shaft l. The thread is carried by this movement of the arm a into the nick in the spool flange, the spool-nicking knife m which has been previously operated acting as a guide. The knife g severs the thread, the unwound end being held in the clip h; then, after the spool has been doffed, the knife block and thread hook are moved simultaneously further downward until the thread suspended between them and the thread-guide is brought in contact with the spindle end n. This thread is picked up by the spindle ready for re-starting spooling. The thread hook and knife block are then raised. The device may be applied to machines of the types described in Specifications 699/60 and 15,084/02.
