Title: Improvements relating to the Control of Variable Speed Dynamos, such as those Employed for Train Lighting.
IPC: H02J7/22
Filed: 1912-03-13
Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 6269. Electric and Ordnance Accessories Co., Etchells, J., and Price, E. W. March 13. [Addition to 6611/11.] Lighting systems; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-An electro-magnetic relay controlling the circuit of the winding of the main switch of a supply system having a variable-speed generator is arranged to act as an output regulator after performing its function as a relay. The action of the regulator is similar to that described in the parent Specification. In the system shown, the variablespeed generator A is provided with a shunt field winding B, the circuit of which is normally closed through the contacts c, c<x>, c<1>, c1<x> of the regulator. The contacts c, c<1> are mounted on the core of a relay C provided with a shunt winding C<x> and a series winding C<o>. The first movement of the plunger of the relay closes the circuit of the winding F of the main switch and battery change-over switch through the bridging piece G<2>, the contacts c, c<x>, c<1>, c1<x> remaining in engagement as the contacts c<x>, c1<x> are resiliently mounted. After the generator has been connected up, the relay C acts as an output regulator under the control of a spring C<6> to introduce intermittently a resistance C<4> into the circuit of the shunt field-winding B. The resistance in the circuit of the field-winding B is varied by the variation of pressure between the contacts c, c<x>, and c', c<x> before these contacts are actually separated.

Abstract: 5729. Laffly, A. March 8, 1912, [Convention date]. Surface treatment with liquid materials; sweeping- machines.-Relates to road-sweeping machines of the kind in which an obliquely-mounted motordriven cylindrical brush is adjustably arranged in a casing connected by longitudinal pivoted lifting- rods with the vehicle chassis, means being provided for varying the sweeping pressure. According to the invention, (1) the trunnions of the broom are removably attached to a wooden core so that the brush can be turned end for end, (2) the lifting- rods are connected to lifting bell-crank levers by adjustable rods, and (3) the springs balancing the weight of the brush are acted upon by longitudinal rods connected with the bell-crank levers. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of the rear end of a motor-driven road-sweeping machine. The rotary brush 1 is driven by chain-and-sprocket gearing from a countershaft rotated within a sleeve 11 by a longitudinal shaft 41 driven by the engine. As shown in Fig. 4, the brush 1 is mounted upon a wooden core 2, on the ends of which the brush trunnions 5 are detachably carried. The brush is adjustably mounted in slots 8 in its casing 9 by means of threaded rods 15 which also adjust the tension of the driving-chain. The brush is raised and lowered by operating upon longitudinal rods 17 of equal length pivotally connected to the brush casing and to the chassis of the vehicle. The rods 17 are connected with the brush-raising lever 21 by means of adjustable threaded rods 25, bellcranks 23, rods 24, and arms 22 mounted upon the shaft 20 of the lever 21.

Abstract: 21,104. Bradford, L. Sept. 19, 1912, [Convention date]. Surface - tension separating processes.- Metallic sulphides are separated by subjecting the mixed sulphides to a selective flotation process in a medium which wets, without chemically altering, the particles of one sulphide such as lead sulphide, but does not wet the particles of another sulphide such as zinc sulphide. The medium may be a solution, preferably feebly acidulated, of one or more chlorides of the alkali or alkaline-earth metals, and is preferably used at a temperature of 120-160‹ F. The process may be applied either directly to crude crushed ore, a frothing-agent such as oleic acid being used or not, and a concentrate high in zinc separated from the lead and gangue, or crushed ore may be subjected to an ordinary flotation process, and the mixed concentrates afterwards subjected to the selective flotation. In cases in which mixed concentrates have been obtained by processes using an organic frothing-agent, the mixed concentrates before selective treatment may be digested in a dilute solution of an alkali or of sulphuric ether to remove the oily frothing - agent, and in some cases, as described in Specification 19,844/14, a solution of one or more substances, such as sulphites or thiosulphates of the alkali metals or sulphurous acid, may be added to the medium.
