Title: Improvements in Electric Time Switches.
Inventor: SCHROEDER PAUL
IPC: H01H50/88
Filed: 1909-12-24
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 30,216. Schr÷der, P. Dec. 24. Electro - magnetic interrupters ; retarding- devices.-Relates to the type of time-switch that closes a circuit by the free movement of an attracted solenoid-core, and opens the circuit after a time-interval owing to the return movement of the solenoid - core being retarded by clock-work. The invention consists in unclutching the solenoid-core from the clock-work after part of the retarded return has been traversed, so that the core falls freely to open the main switch. As shown in Fig. 1, the switch m to be used for lighting lamps L is open, the core b is down, and an auxiliary snap-switch g is closed. Closure of a push-button switch D completes a circuit for the solenoid a. Rise of the core closes the switch m through the magnetic attraction of an iron plate o, and, after an interval throws open the auxiliary switch g, de-energizing the solenoid. A toothed wheel d gearing with a rack on the core b becomes clutched to a clock-work train r, and retards the first part of the fall. Ata point determined by the setting of an adjustable sector v, the parts come unclutched owing to a pin on the pawl t meeting the edge of the sector. The subsequent free fall of the core re-closes the auxiliary switch g and re - opens the main switch m. To prolong the period of illumination, the push-button switch is repeatedly closed.

Filed: 1910-01-27
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 2088. Electric and Ordnance Accessories Co., and Seal, W. Jan. 27. Electro - magnetic switches. - An auxiliary switch is operated by a pair of solenoid main switches E<o>, E<4> one of which is provided with a shunt winding D and series winding E, and the other with a shunt winding D<1> and series winding E<1>. The circuits of the series windings E, E<1> are completed after the respective shunt windings D, D' have operated to close the main switches E‹, E<4>. When the core of one of the solenoids rises, it causes the pawl E<5> to engage a lever E<7>, the other end of which is in engagement with the switch arm E<8>. When the windings D, E are de-energized, the core moved by the spring E<9> causes the auxiliary switch arm E<8> to be rocked, the movement of the switch disconnecting the winding D and connecting the winding D'. A similar action is produced when the windings D<1>, E' are energized. Specification 9479/05 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Variable Speed Gears.
Inventor: MYERS JAMES JOSEPH
IPC: F16H29/14
Filed: 1910-05-05
Granted: 1911-05-05
Abstract: 11,168. Myers, J. J. May 5. Driving-gear for endless belt, chain, and rope conveyers.-Variable-speed and reversing gearing, suitable for conveyers, comprises ratchet-mounted pinions 4, Figs. 1 and 2, arranged round a central pinion 1 and a balanced variable-throw driving- eccentric 9. The hubs of the pinions 4, which are carried on a spider 3, are rigidly connected to arms 5, which carry rollers 8 &c. resting against the eccentric 9. As the eccentric 9 turns, the arms 5 are oscillated and the pinions 4 turn in one direction at a speed which can be varied. The spider 3 may be fixed and the pinion 1 driven, or the pinion 1 fixed and the spider 3 driven, the resulting motions being in opposite directions. A system of clutches for effecting such reversal of motion by the actuation of one lever is described. The throw of the eccentric 9 is varied by turning an inner ring 10 relatively to a casing 14, Fig. 4, which rotates with the driving-element. The ring 10, which is eccentrically mounted in the casing 14. is balanced about its centre, and the ring 10 and casing 14 are balanced relatively to one another, so that the eccentric 9 as a whole is balanced for all speeds. A balanced lever 19 engaging a groove 20 in the ring 10 is connected to a sleeve 17, Fig. 1, and worm-wheel 16. The casing 14 is connected to the bearings of a worm 15 engaging the wheel 16. The worm 15 is turned to vary the speed, as the gearing rotates, by means shown in Fig. 9. The spindle 21 of the worm 15 projects through a slot in an outer rotary frame 25 and carries a ratchet-wheel 22 adapted to be turned in opposite directions respectively by pawls 23, 23<1>, as the frame 25 is reciprocated about either of two mean positions. A groove 31 in the frame 25 is for this purpose engaged by a strap 30, Fig. 15, carried by a lever 29. The upper end of the lever 29 is engaged by a crank 27, by turning which the frame 25 is reciprocated. The fulcrum of the lever 29 is a crank-pin 61 on a lever 35, which is moved to alter the direction of the relative motion imparted to the worm 15 and lever 19.

Title: Method for the Production of High Frequency Currents for use in Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony.
Inventor: GOLDSCHMIDT RUDOLF
IPC: H03B19/03
Filed: 1910-05-07
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 11,294. Goldschmidt, R. May 7. Converting alternating and direct currents; frequency, changing; transformers.-Relates to means for effecting an increase in the frequency of alternating currents in successive steps or stages until it reaches the high frequency necessary for the purposes of wireless telegraphy and telephony. If an alternating current I sin 2 # n<1>t passes through a coil S', Fig. 1, and a mass of iron R is rotated in the neighbourhood of the coil so that its self-induction varies by a quantity L sin 2 # n<0>t, it can be shown that electromotive forces are produced in the coil S', or in the adjacent coil S<2>, having frequencies n<1>+n<0> and n<1>-n<0>. Thus, if n<0> is equal to n', an electromotive force of double the original frequency is produced. Currents due to such electromotive forces react to produce those of still higher frequency. Fig. 3 shows diagrammatically a system in which a source E of continuous current serves as the starting-point, and the currents generated in successively increasing frequency find paths through condensers and inductances tuned to correspond with them. The frequency rises until it reaches that to which the antenna system responds. The initial source of current may be dispensed with when the mass R is magnetized. The apparatus may take the form of an alternating-current generator, with or without iron in the stator. Specifications 27,260/07, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.], and 17,835/08 are referred to.

Abstract: 607. British Thomson-Houston Co. [General Electric Co.]. Jan. 9. A r c lamps.-A magazine comprising a number of slotted electrodeholding tubes 1 arranged in a curve in plan is turned in steps so as to bring each electrode 16 in turn above a single large lower electrode 31. The tubes 1 are attached to top and bottom plates 2, 3 having radial arms pivoted to the lamp - frame. A weight 8 or a spring tends to turn the magazine, which is geared to a shaft carrying fly-balls 12. The top plate 2 of the magazine is provided with teeth 9 engaged in turn by a detent 10 on a lever 11, which is raised by the core of a shunt solenoid 29, when the circuit through this is closed by an arm or contact 21 on the follower 17 of a burntout electrode. The shunt solenoid also opens the main circuit through a series solenoid 28 which normally operates a clutch 25, so that the upper electrode stump is released. The lower electrode is simultaneously swung out of the way of the falling stump by means of two clutches 33, 34, which are connected to unequal arms of a lever 36 raised by the shunt solenoid. These clutches engage a squared part of a rod 32 carrying the lower electrode, and the clutch 33 passes through an inclined guide 35. After the clutch 33 is stopped by the top of the guide the clutch 34 raises the rod 32 further, to feed the lower electrode. The reserve electrodes rest on a box 22, the clutch 25 having a lateral opening to admit them. Each upper electrode is loosely held in a conical socket in its follower 17, which may be made, as shown in Fig. 6, in two parts connected by an inclined strut 42, to ensure good contact with the tube 1.
