Title: An Arc Lamp with Pairs of Carbon arranged Tangentially to the Axis of the Lamp.
Inventor: TIMAR DAGOBERT
Filed: 1908-12-14
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 27,143. Timar, D., and Dreger, K. von. Dec. 14. Arc lamps. - Several pairs of approximatelyhorizontal carbons are arranged tangentially around the vertical axis of a lamp, to produce even distribution of light. The carbons in each pair may be in one vertical plane. In one arrangement, two pairs are placed side by side but directed oppositely. In another arrangement three pairs of carbons a, b, Fig. 3, are carried by a cast-iron spider w as shown in plan. Each carbon is held by a clamp g or h, Fig. 1, pivoted to a support c, the lower carbon of each pair being also supported near its clamp by a bracket l attached to the baseplate. Each upper clamp g is connected to the armature m of a separate electro-magnet n in series with the carbons. The various pairs of carbons are connected in series or parallel. The base-plate may be protected by asbestos or other material f.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Protective Devices for Alternating Current Systems.
IPC: H01H71/40
Filed: 1909-03-09
Granted: 1909-09-23
Abstract: 5717. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. March 12, 1908, [Convention date]. Automatic circuit-brecakers; cut-out arrangements. -In alternating-current overload circuit-breakers, the trip device consists of an electro-magnet 6 having two windings 7, 8, the winding 7 in series with the circuit to be protected and the winding 8 related to the winding 7 as secondary to primary of a transformer, together with a fuse or thermal device 9 which normally short-circuits the winding 8. At a sufficiently high overload, the induced secondary current breaks the fuse or opens the thermal device, and the electro-magnetic effect then becomes strong enough to operate the trip lever 4. The arrangement of windings is adopted for the purpose of preventing danger in re-setting the fuse or thermal device.

Abstract: 18,805. Garrett, F. G. Aug. 16. [Cognate Applications, 24,955/09 and 853/10.] Slipping of wheels, preventing.-When sideslip occurs in a motor - road vehicle, a single wheel mounted on a bar pivoted in a bracket on the rear axle and normally running in a vertical position tilts and is pressed against the ground by the engagement of one or other of two cams on the bar with a corresponding cam on the bracket. Means for adjusting the height of the device and for raising it out of operation are also provided. A wheel b consisting of a conical metal body with a central rubber tyre is mounted in a bar c having a pin-and-slot connexion j, k with a bracket on the vehicle axle. The upper end of the bar c has a pair of cams l which work in a space between two parts r, s of the bracket and are adapted to engage a cam-surface m formed on the part r. To allow vertical adjustment, the parts r, s are slotted and connected by a bolt u to a part clamped on the axle; or, as shown in Fig. 4, corner bolts w are passed through slots in the parts r, s and are extended to make adjustable connexion with a plate 3 pivoted at 9 to the part clamped to the axle so as to enable the wheel b to be raised out of operation by a cord 10.

Abstract: 1432. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. Oct. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Plant; reversing.-In a marine turbine installation for driving one or two pairs of separate shafts, there is provided a high-pressure ahead turbine having an impulse stage followed by a reaction stage on one shaft of each pair of shafts, neither stage being isolated under any circumstances, together with a low-pressure ahead turbine arranged on the other shaft of each pair of shafts. A combination of rotors for reversing in a turbine for use in such an installation is also described. In the arrangement shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, a high-pressure ahead turbine x and a low-pressure ahead turbine y on a separate shaft are supplied with live steam through a pipe c, a nozzle-regulating device d, a pipe e and valves f, g, which are operated jointly, so that, for cruising purposes, a supply of live steam l to the turbine y may be used, the exhaust steam from both turbines being conducted directly to the condenser k. The astern turbines z on the two shafts are always arranged in parallel, and are supplied with steam through pipes m, n. Fig. 2 shows diagrammatically one half of an installation having four shafts provided with a high-pressure astern turbine u and a lowpressure astern turbine v in addition to the high-pressure ahead turbine x and the lowpressure ahead turbine y. The astern turbines are arranged in series in this case. Fig. 3 shows a sectional view of the upper half of the combined ahead and astern turbine. The ahead turbine comprises an impulse stage b1 followed by a reaction stage c1, and the astern turbine is shown by way of example as comprising two impulse wheels e1, f1. A partition d, separates the ahead and astern portions. A balancing-piston may be provided, preferably at the inlet end of the impulse stage. Additional stages for lower speeds may be provided in the high-pressure turbine, in which case, for maximum power, the steam flows through a by-pass valve r1, which is positively connected with the nozzle-regulating apparatus.

The indicator in the manager's room is combined with an indicator showing that the room is let. Fig. 7 shows the indicator contacts 42, 43 of the outside lock. The contacts are touched by the contact pin 45 carried by the bolt 44, the last contact touched moving the indicator to the required ' in ' or ' out' position. Fig. 11 shows the contacts for the inside lock and bolt. When the key is inserted in the lock, the shank makes contact with the ring 47 and the bit contacts with two springs 52 in passing. The operation of the bolt causes the pin 57 to touch two contacts 58, 59. The annunciator shown in Fig. 2 consists of a pointer 17 working between two stops 21, 22, the pointer being actuated, through the pin 25, by the core of the solenoids in the indicator circuits. The annunciator in the manager's room is provided with a separate pointer 24, which is moved to the indicating position by the action of the pin 25 on the cam 26, when the door is unlocked. The pointer 24 is re-set when the room is vacated by depressing the pin 37.
