Abstract: 6189. Leitner, H. March 12. Starting prime-movers.-Relates to variablespeed dynamos which are driven by internalcombustion engines &c. and in which subsidiary brushes or broad brushes are used to control the field-magnet excitation, and consists in utilizing the dynamo as a motor for starting the prime mover by the employment of a series field-magnet winding. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, the machine A is connected to the accumulator C through a " cut-in-and-out " device B and a starting-switch E having a contact-arm E<1>; the field-magnets are provided with coils e connected to the subsidiary brushes c, c' and with series coils f. To start the engine, the arm E' is moved into the position shown in dotted lines, thereby connecting the series coils f to the accumulators C and inserting resistances o<1>, r' in the circuits of the coils e,. When the engine has started, the arm E<1> is released, either by hand or by an electro-magnet i and pull-back spring, and takes up the position shown in full lines, the machine then operating as a generator with the series coils disconnected. The resistances o<1>, r<1> may be omitted, in which case the machine is run as a simple series motor, the circuits of the coils e being broken. A simplified starting-switch for use with a machine having a single subsidiary brush is also described. A commutator form of starting- switch is shown in Fig. 3, with contact-plates t, u, v mounted on an insulating cylinder s against which bear springs or brushes h, l, g. The switch-arm w is furnished with an iron armature y, which is adapted to be attracted by the electro-magnet i.. Further contact bars m, n are provided with intermediate resistances m<1>, forming starting resistances. Switching arrangements are also described, whereby two or more sets of accumulators, which are normally connected in parallel for lighting or other purposes, may be temporarily connected in series when the machine is to be driven as a motor. By the provision of extra contacts on the starting-switches, an electro-magnetic clutch may be energized whereby the normal gearing between the engine and dynamo is disconnected and gearing of higher ratio substituted. Specification 9655/05 is referred to.

Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 27,775. Korting & Mathiesen Akt.- Ges. March 15, [Convention date]. Spring supports.-A spring-supported bearing for electric meters is combined with means for supporting the spindle when the bearing is to be removed or for transport. Three spring plates 5, 6, 7 are fixed at one end to a crosspiece 3 by a screw 4, and their free ends are guided by a pin 21. The bearing 12, shown in Fig. 1 as withdrawn from the spindle and partly removed, slides in a sleeve 8 which supports the armature and spindle. Two projections 10 on the plate 5 engage helical slots 9 in the sleeve 8, which therefore rises or falls on being turned. To introduce the bearing 12, it is raised until a cross - pin 14, guided by depending flaps 20, passes through slots in the lowest plate 7 and into vertical slots 11 in the sleeve 8. The bearing is then turned to the right until the pin 14, moving between the plates 6, 7, snaps into a well 18 in the plate 6. The rotation of the sleeve 8 causes the spring 5 to rise somewhat, but the spindle is still supported by the sleeve and not by the bearing. In this position, the apparatus is in a condition for transport. On turning the bearing further to the right, the pin 14 leaves the swell 18 and snaps into a swell 17; this rotation lowers the sleeve 8 and the bearing then supports the spindle.

Abstract: 6146. Welch, W. H. March 12. Vaporizers, external; heating charge.-A vaporizing-chamber C, to which the liquid fuel is supplied under pressure from a float feed chamber A, is heated by means of an electrically-heated coil E enclosed in a quartz tube D<1> carried by a cap D. The fuel tends to fill the vaporizing- chamber, but when the throttle-valve G<1> is closed, the pressure of the vapour generated eventually becomes sufficient to force the fuel back till it falls below the lower end of the heating-element, when the production of vapour ceases. The upper end of the vaporizing-chamber communicates with a gas-receiving chamber F containing a baffle F<2>; a jet nozzle may be fitted to the vaporizing-chamber instead of the gas being drawn off through the opening C<1>. The air supply may also be heated by an electrically heated wire M' in the air-intake conduit M, and an electric motor N with vanes N' may be fitted in the conduit. The electric current is supplied to the heaters from a dynamo when the engine speed is sufficient; but when the speed falls so much that the current produced by the dynamo does not heat the coils sufficiently, an automatic device switches the coils on to the accumulators, which then supply the heating-current.

Abstract: 17,859. Galletti, R. C. Aug. 5. Wireless telegraphy; electric oscillations, producing.-In systems in which transmission is effected by cyclic discharges, such as described in Specifications 12,633/07, 12,634 / 07, 27,289/07, 15,497/10, 10,639/11, and 10,863/12, a cyclic discharge circuit supplies energy to the aerial during the transmission of dots and dashes, while a second discharge circuit, which is preferably also a cyclic discharge circuit having different characteristics from the first, supplies energy to the aerial during the space intervals. When the transmitting-key l is in its upper position, the aerial a is connected to the cyclic circuit A comprising condensers d, ... dn and Dd, inductances f1 ... fn and Ff, spark-gaps c1... c and Cc, and coils k2 ... kn, and K1k1 the dynamo h, being connected through an inductance j and coils f1 ... fn across the spark-gaps. A discharge across the gap c, sets up oscillations in the coil k2, which starts a discharge in the gap c2, which in turn breaks down the gap c3, and so on, the last condenser Dd being connected to a coil K1k1 adjacent to the first gap c1. When the key l is in its lower position, the condenser D, is earthed instead of the condenser d1, thus rendering the circuit A inoperative, and starting in operation the circuit B, which is preferably similar to circuit A, but has different characteristics as regards the value of its capacities, the kind of spark-gap, or the number of discharges per cycle. The gap Cc, condenser Dd, and coils Ff, K1 k1 are common to both circuits A, B. In a modification, three sets of cyclic discharge circuits are used, one set being used for spaces, and the others for signalling on the two - tone principle. The receiving - system includes oscillatory circuits tuned respectively to the frequencies used for transmitting dots and dashes.

Granted: 1915-01-14
Abstract: 1069. Stevenson, J. R. Jan. 15. [Cognate Applications, 4390/14 and 15,837/14.] Stretching and tentering.-In steam can drying- machines as described in Specification 8553/12, endless chains of blocks or carriages, fitted with clips or with tentering-teeth, have curved surfaces d, m, Fig. 1 (1069/14), corresponding to the contour of the steam cans and to the grooved wheels. Telescopic bars or tubes i, j, Fig. 7, and universal joints k connect pairs of grooved wheels 3 together. Contact between the chains and the steam cans is prevented by fitting plates 1, Fig. 1 (15,837/14), round the can 2, the clip chains 3 running in the space between the rail 4 and the flanges 26 on the plate. To adjust the width between the endless chains, the plates 1 are lifted off the cans slightly by moving the brackets 24. These brackets, engaging the tops of rods 17, force each rod to turn on its bolt 18, thus causing cams 21, 22 to be separated, and thereby enabling a disk 8 and the connected plate 1 to be raised by the power of a spring 16. The position of the clip chain can then be adjusted, and, by forcing back the bracket 24, the cams 21, 22 are brought again into engagement. Plates 10, to which bolts 18 are connected, are supported by a series of rollers 11, Fig. 6, to facilitate the.adjustment of the chains. A simpler chain support consists of a flanged ring plate slightly larger than the steam can. To adjust the width between the chains, the wheels 3, Fig. 7, are lowered to slacken the chain, and the ring plates may then be moved laterally. Clips may be spring-actuated as shown in Fig. 1 (1069/14), or counterweighted and provided with gauge tongues and slots. According to the Provisional Specification 1069/14, sliding clips and a modified form of oscillating clips are employed.
