Title: Improvements in and relating to Reverse Current Electric Cut-outs or Circuit Breakers.
Filed: 1905-01-13
Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 718. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Wedmore, E. B. Jan. 13. Cut-outs; switches.-Cut-outs adjustable to operate at a predetermined overload and also with reverse current of a certain smaller predetermined strength are actuated by a plunger in a solenoid wound with opposed series and potential coils separately disposed. The winding c carries the main current, or a current proportional thereto, and the winding d is connected either across the main terminals or, in the case of an alternating- current circuit, to the low-tension secondary of a small transformer. An iron casing a provided with a removable cover b surrounds the coils. Within the tube e a core f, laminated for alternating currents, is attached to the cover b, and an iron plunger h is capable of moving within the guide-tube i. A loosely-fitting plunger k passes through the fixed core into the gap g, its lower end being provided with a spring and the upper end with a contactpiece l adapted to bridge the contacts m and close the circuit of an automatic circuit-breaker ; or, in modifications, a pin n moving in a slot in the tube i may actuate directly mechanical means for releasing the circuit-breaker. The device is regulated by the adjustment of the length of the air gap g by screwing up or down the plug j. In order to make the adjustment affect the settings for overload and reverse proportionately, means are adopted for promoting leakage between the series solenoid c and the air gap g, such as an iron ring q between the two windings, or a shortcircuited winding consisting of a metal ring surrounding the tube e between the two windings.

Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 4618. La Rochefoucauld, F. M. Gaston, Due de, and MÚland, M. J. March 6. Feed-water, supplying and heating.-The valve controlling the admission of feed-water is supported by a double diaphragm i<1>, j<1>, upon the upper side of which presses the water in the chamber a in free communication with the boiler, and upon the lower side the feed-water which is supplied under constant pressure. If the water level falls, the upward pressure preponderates, and the valve h is lifted, thus allowing water to pass through the apertures g<3> in the supply pipe g into the boiler. The pipe g is surrounded by a tube k, in communication with the steam space, so that the water in the pipe is heated. The valve h, which is shown open on the right-hand side of the Figure, is formed at its lower part with an annular shoulder h<1>, on which the pressure of the feed-water operates when the' valve commences to open and accelerates its opening. A tight sliding connexion l, shown open on one side of the Figure, joins the steam-tube k and the chamber a. An outlet pipe n is placed between the diaphragms to allow water leaking between them to be run off. A gauze sheet f is..provided for arresting impurities in the feed.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Drilling Brush-bodies and Fitting Bristles therein.
Inventor: FLEMMING CARL EDUARD
Filed: 1905-05-25
Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 10,957. Flemming, C. E. May 25. Drilling brush stocks.-Relates to a machine for drilling and fitting with bristles any kind of brush stock so that the bristles may be fixed at any required angle to, and at a constant depth in, the stock, and consists in a modified arrangement of the work tables. Longitudinal motion in the direction I-I, Fig. 9, is given to the work tables 8 attached to side pieces 16, Fig. 8, by slides 7,19, which for this purpose are worked together, by racks 22, 6 and toothed wheels 23, 5, the latter being connected by change wheels 24, and driven through a shaft 4 and intermediate gearing, as shown, by a cam 2, Fig. 7. Transverse motion in the direction II-II, Fig. 9, is given by a cam 3 through a rod 9, rack 10, and toothed wheels 11, 13, Fig. 9, and 21, Fig. 7 (the latter of which is disengageable) and other racks 14, 20, to slides 15, 18 which carry the above-mentioned slides 7, 19. Longitudinal rocking motion is given to the work tables 8, Fig. 8, by throwing the change wheels 24 out of gear by means of a lever 26 working in' a slot 25, thus bringing the slide 19 to rest. The side pieces 16 are rocked about a pivot 30 carrying guide-blocks 31 working in slots 55, and are further guided by pins working in cam slots 40 in an adjustable plate 39 attached to a slide 42, Fig. 7. This latter motion is necessary to keep the tables at a constant distance from the tool. Where on account of varying curvature of the brush stocks it is necessary further to raise or lower the work tables, this motion is transmitted from a third cam 48, Fig. 7, through detachable levers 49, 51, 52, a shaft 53, and another lever 54 to a vertical slide 46 in which the side plate 42 slides horizontally. A slot in the plate 42 guides a bolt 47 which when tightened allows only vertical motion to the plate 42 and to the guide block 31 attached to it, and consequently to the side pieces 16. The amount of travel of the side pieces 16 is regulated by adjusting a guide-block 34, Figs. 7 and 8, which engages in a guide plate 35 fixed by an adjusting screw 36 to an extension 37 of the slide 7. Transverse rocking motion is obtained by throwing out of gear the wheel 21, Fig. 7, so that only the upper slide 15 moves transversely thus rocking the work tables 8 about a pin 28 fixed in the side piece 16, a pin and slot serving as before to guide and compensate the motion of the tables. Also the stroke of the work tables 8 can be varied by adjustment of the guide-block 31 in the slot 55 of the guidepieces 16 and in a corresponding slot of the plate 42. Adjustment in a vertical direction can be obtained by a screw working in a projection on a plate which guides the slide 46, thus raising or lowering the slide 46, and consequently the work tables. When only rectilinear motion is required, a bolt secures the work tables rigidly to the side piece 16, and an angle plate secures the slide 7 to the same side piece, the bolt 30 and guide-plate 31 being removed to allow transverse motion.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Balances for Fine, Broken or Granular Materials and for Liquids.
Inventor: TARSASAG ELSOE MAGYAR AUTOMETE
Filed: 1905-09-27
Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 19,565. Els÷ Magyar AutomÚter Tßrsasßg, Ertner, J., and Fleiner, S. Sept. 27. Automatic-feed weighers. -Relates to the conversion of ordinary into automatic weighing - machines. Fig. 1 shows the application of one form of the invention to an equi-armed balance. As soon as equilibrium is obtained and the catch 7 falls against the fixed stop 8, the catch 6 is freed, allowing the weighted lever 3, pivoted to the beam 2, to fall and depress the load end of the scale. By prolonging the weighted lever on the other side of its pivot and providing a suitable stop, the automatic replacement of the weighted lever may be effected as the load arm of the balance rises. The means for engaging and disengaging the weighted lever may be modified, and the latter may be pivotally attached to a lever which is pivoted at the end of the load arm, so that, when the weighted lever is released, its attached lever comes against the load arm and forms a continuation of the latter. Fig. 7 shows a spring balance provided with a double-armed lever 3, 10 pivoted at 5 to the scale-pan. One end 3 is provided with a weight, and the other constitutes the discharging - door, which is operated when disengagement of the catches 13, 14 occurs as the catch 14 comes against the stop 9. In the form shown in Fig. 8, the weighted lever 3, 4 is pivoted to a fixed point 5, and the stop 9 is formed on the beam 2 of the balance. A finger 6 attached to the arm 4 can only rotate in the clockwise direction, and, when equilibrium is established, the piece 7 attached to the knife-edge 10 moves from the path of the finger, which rises and allows the weight 3 to fall until the lever comes against the stop 9, thereby depressing the load arm. The finger 3 and arm 4 may be made adjustable.

Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 13,489. Pumberger, G. June 12. Canals and rivers.-Relates to ship and like locks of the economizer type having lateral reservoirs, and consists in a method of working the reservoirs, which are arranged by the side of the lock basin. The total working height of the lock basin, namely, from a-a to b-b, is divided into twelve equal divisions. At the side of the lock are placed lateral reservoirs having a capacity equal to eight of these divisions, and small conduits c connect the lock basin with a distributing-conduit d which communicates by conduits e with the reservoirs. Provision is made fur the admission and discharge of air to and from the reservoirs as they are emptied and filled. Above the reservoir 2 and below the reservoir 7 are small reservoirs 1<1>, 8<1>, respectively, which are intended to contain water so as to enable the work to proceed at a uniform rate from start to finish. The two sets of reservoirs shown may be arranged so that 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8<1> are on one side of the lock and 2, 4, 6, 8, and 1' on the other. In one method of working, a series of three reservoirs are being filled at the same time. Reservoir 1 is opened first; when it is one-third full, reservoir 2 is opened, and, when it is two-thirds full, reservoir 3 is opened. When reservoir 3 is one-third full, reservoir 1 is completely full and is shut off, reservoir 4 being then opened. From this point three reservoirs are always being filled at the same time, until all eight reservoirs are filled. A large number of reservoirs may be provided and three or four may constitute a series which are opened simultaneously. In this method of working, different proportions of water will be wasted, and different times of filling occupied, only the middle reservoirs being full, the first and last being only one-third or one-fourth full, and so on.
