Patent GB-191004273-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Meters.
Inventor: STROMBERG ALFRED
IPC: G01R11/00
Filed: 1910-02-21
Granted: 1911-02-21
Abstract: 4273. Stromberg, A., and Willis, G. M. Feb. 21. Commutator motor meters; coil-windings; stopping-devices; casings.-In a method of winding an armature, each turn is located in a plane wholly on one side of the spindle, and successive turns are displaced as shown in Fig. 8, so that each turn is equally effective. The winding is divided into three sections, each subtending an angle of 100 degrees. The winding is supported on a core of light material such as cork, and, to prevent windage, the armature is enclosed in a casing 60, Fig. 13, of non-magnetic material, such as celluloid, having a smooth surface, which is supported by insulating-sleeves 58 on the spindle. In another method of winding, guides 127, Fig. 12, are positioned by means of covers 126, which are removed for winding coils 128 as shown in Fig. 13 ; the coils are afterwards coated with shellac, and the guides removed. The core may be in the form of a spherical shell, and may have grooves to receive the windings. The series field coils 37, Fig. 2, and a starting-coil surrounding it are supported by posts of non-magnetic material having inwardlyextending pins 32. The upper and lower posts are short, and the longer posts support a metal cover-plate 36, which clamps the coils. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, the cover-plate has a hemispherical portion 36<a> surrounding the armature, the plate being slotted to prevent the formation of eddy currents ; the field coils in this construction are supported on ribbed lugs 122 on the meter casing. The field coil may be divided into two sections. The armature spindle is mounted at its lower end on a post 49, Fig. 2, and at the upper end in a removable plate 44, which is secured by means of nuts and projecting pins, to posts 40 riveted to the casing. The plate 44 also carries the counting-mechanism. A plate 43 is supported on the posts 40, and carries at its lower ends on each side, an insulated arm 69 and a terminal 70. The arm carries a thumb-screw 76 for adjusting the tension of the brush-spring. An aluminium brake disk 86 on the spindle rotates in the field of a permanent U-shaped magnet 87, which is clamped on shoulders on posts 88 of brass or other non- magnetic material by means of a plate 90. An adjustable sleeve 92 on the spindle has a spur of magnetic material which prevents creeping of the armature. A plate 94 of magnetic material, forming a shield and a keeper for the brake magnet, is mounted in grooves in two pillars 95. A glass cover 103 is held in place by means of bolts 106 and nuts. The casing is of iron, and has on its lower side a compartment which carries terminals mounted in insulating-sleeves 18, each terminal having a transverse groove 22 with a washer and binding-screw. A resistance is wound on a looselymounted core inside the casing.

Granted: 1911-02-28
Abstract: 5013. Ashcroft, E. A. Feb. 28. Sodium and potassium, obtaining.-In the separation of one of these metals from a fused alloy or amalgam, the electrolyte consists of or contains an amide of the metal, or a mixture of both metallic amides. Hydrates of the same metals, or fluxing-agents, may also be present. The amide may be protected by inert gas or a layer of liquid, or by closing the cell. The amide may be made by passing in ammonia to react with metal generated in or added to the cell, the electrolyte consisting originally of hydrate only. The alloy and a fused salt mixture from which it may be obtained electrolytically are both of low melting - point. The alloy may for instance consist of potassium, sodium, and lead, or sodium and tin; bismuth or other metals mav be added. The fused mixture may contain equimolecular proportions of the chlorides of sodium and potassium, with or without fluorides. Hydrates may be used instead of chlorides.

Abstract: 23,170. Loqvist, A. H. Oct. 6. Cow - milkers. - In a mechanically - operated milking - machine the fixed press-plates 17, 18, Fig. 1, are attached near their centre to a rod 16 situated between the rods 6, 7 on which the moving plates 8, 9 are mounted. The presses on each side of the supporting-rods are attached by split crosspins 23 so as to be removable. The pins for the press 8, 17 are fixed to the rods, while those for the press 9, 18 are secured to auxiliary rods 10, Fig. 5, which are clamped to the rods 6, 7, 16 by means of a sleeve 11 enclosing a yoke 12 which has a press-button 15 and is forced by a spring 13 into one or another of the recesses 14. One press is thus adjustable. The rods 6, 7 are actuated by a double-grooved cam 2 driven by a. worm and wheel 29 from an electric motor 27. The pressure on the teats is regulated by a longitudinal adjustment of the rod 16, which is moved by a transverse screw 20 which moves a slide 19 carrying an oblique cam or groove acting with . a groove or pin on the rod. Stops limit the movement of the slide. On the rear presses only, or on all are projecting plates 26 to support the udder. The machine is supported by two girths, one hooked to the machine, and the other, at the front of the cow, connected to an arm 45 pivoted between lugs 43 and clamped in position by a screw 48 passing through a slot 47. The effective length of the arm 45 is adjusted by a number of projections, any of which will engage the front girth, or by making the arm in two parts 54, 55, Fig. 12, held together by sleeves 56 and clamped by a catch 57 pivoted to one part 55 and projecting through an aperture in it into one of a series of recesses 58 in the other part 54. The milk-receiver is suspended from a hook 53.

Abstract: 5967. Namekawa, K., Miyazawa, J., Miyabara, K., and Emura, S. March 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Zinc, depositing; electrodes. - Lead anodes used in the deposition of thick non-porous zinc from zinc-sulphate solution are freed from peroxide and persulphate by causing them to act temporarily as cathodes, the lead compounds being converted into oxide, which falls off. The cathodes may be removed from the zincdepositing vat during this operation, or the used anodes may be replaced by fresh ones and treated in a separate vat. In the former case, switches D, E, M enable first one lot and then the remainder of the anodes A to be connected as cathodes. In order to prevent deposition of spongy zinc, the electrolyte contains a liquid made by heating sugar, starch, sea-weed, or a similar substance nearly to carbonization, and extracting it with water.

Ironing-machines with reciprocating tables.-In ironing-machines having automatically reciprocating tables, three ironing-rollers are employed, and an automatic reversing-gear for effecting the shifting of the belts is provided. The table 9 is adjustably mounted on a board 14 supported on three pairs of drums 6, 7, 8, and the articles are treated by three closely-arranged heated rollers, 1, 2, 3. On the board 14 are adjustably arranged a pair of buffers 13 adapted to engage the arms of a lever 15 pivoted on the side frame and connected at one end by a link 20 to the belt-shifting mechanism. One buffer engages the curved end of the lever and the other the curved surface of a pivoted member 17 normally prevented from yielding by a bolt 18. When it is desired to run the table out at the front, this bolt is withdrawn by means of a handle 19 so that the buffer passes the member 17 without actuating the lever 15. To start the table again, it is slid along its rails and the handle 26 depressed so as to raise the link 20 and rock the lever 15. The handle 26 normally takes up a central position under the action of a pair of springs and is unaffected by the reversals.
