Patent GB-190918636-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Arrangements for Charging and Discharging Accumulators or Secondary Batteries.
Inventor: TAYLOR ALFRED MILLS
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1909-08-13
Granted: 1910-09-13
Abstract: 18,636. Taylor, A. M. Aug. 13. [Cognate Applications, 18,783/09, 19,600/09, and 21,239/09.] Boosting.-In the supply systems described in Specifications 24,643/08 and 14,212/09, a bucking booster g is connected in series with the armatures F, G of the main boosters when the batteries A, B are being charged, but in parallel with them on the discharge. The object is to increase the number of cells used in the batteries. The series connexion is effected in the downward positions of the arms of double-pole switches T, r, the switch S, which ordinarily connects the armatures F, G in series with the batteries, being open. The circuit is from the battery A, through the armature F and left-hand contacts of the switch T, through the armature g to the right-hand contacts of the switch T, and thence to the armature G and the battery B. The parallel connexion is made in the upward position of the arms of both switches. An additional switch u places either the main-booster fuse or the bucking-booster fuse in parallel with the main trip coil U. The machines are used in duplicate in the case of a three-wire system, one small and two large boosters being used between each extreme wire and the neutral. In a modification, additional regulating-cells under the control of a hand switch are substituted for the bucking booster, and are cut out of circuit when the main cells are fully charged. In Provisional Specification 18,783/09 it is stated that the main automatic switch may be used to wipe out the fields of the booster, or to blow the fuse in the motor circuit of the small booster.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Switches.
Inventor: LUNDBERG ANDREAS PETER
IPC: H01R13/703
Filed: 1909-10-07
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 22,896. Lundberg, A. P., Lundberg, G. C., and Lundberg, P. A. Oct. 7. Switches, quick-break. - A combined electric switch and wall plug is constructed so that the switch is maintained in the "off" position by a spring which is influenced by the insertion of the plug to allow the ordinary working of the switch, the act of withdrawing the plug allowing the spring to open the switch, if in the "on" position, before the plug pins completely leave their contact sockets. A plunger 8 is connected with the movable switch member through a pin 12 and link 13 and is arranged to move endways against the action of the spring 10 when the plug 7 is inserted. This movement carries the slotted link 13 to the right so as to free a pin 15 upon the movable switch member, which can then be closed or opened as desired. On withdrawing the plug when the switch is "on," the link 13 in moving to the left opens the switch before the plug 6 is fully withdrawn. The switch cannot remain closed when the plug is not in position, being opened directly the operating force is removed by the spring 10. The movable switch member and its supports may be constructed and mounted as described in Specification 131/01.

Inventor: HEYS WILLIAM GEORGE
IPC: C25C3/02
Filed: 1910-09-01
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 20,386. Keys, W. G., [Nitrogen Co.]. Sept. 1. Alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals, obtaining from fused alloys. A fused electrolyte consists of one or more compounds of these metals with both carbon and nitrogen, such as cyanides or cyanamides. Cyanides become reduced to cyanamides when lithium, calcium, barium, or strontium are being obtained. The alloying-metal may be lead, aluminium, tin, zinc, or other heavy metal. The alloy may be obtained by electrolysis of a simple fused chloride or a mixture thereof with other chlorides or fluorides; such mixtures, however, are liable to give impure products. The cells for the primary and secondary electrolyses may be separate or may be built together, as shown in Fig. 1. A casing 1 of cast iron or steel, provided with a partition 6, is embedded in brickwork or other non - conducting material and is lined except at the bottom with refractory material such as magnesia or alumina. In the bottom are two pairs of slits 19, 22, Figs. 1 and 4, wider at their outer ends. One pair is connected through a straight channel 16, the other through a channel 20, Fig. 4, containing a pump 23 for circulating the alloy. The metal from the secondary cathode 13 is drawn off by a pipe 11. The two cells are closed by slabs 9, 12 of chlorine-resisting material and of iron respectively; the iron slab is insulated. Both slabs may be covered with salt 26. Either cell may be temporarily short - circuited if required. The secondary cell may be kept somewhat cooler than the primary one by using a low current-density, exposing the iron cover, or conducting heat away through a heavy cathode.
