Inventor: GESE ALFRED AUGUST CONRADIN
Filed: 1907-11-11
Granted: 1908-11-05
Abstract: 24,933. Gese, A. A. C. Nov. 11. Specific - gravity estimating - apparatus.-The condition of a battery during charge or discharge is indicated by means of a float rising or falling with the varying specific gravity of the electrolyte and d communicating rocking motion to a pivoted casing the motion of which is recorded on a measuring- instrument. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the pivoted casing b contains a row of contact-pins c<x>, and a pendulum p supporting a pan o filled with mercury; the pan o may be replaced by a contact-spring. When the float a descends the pins c<x> successively make contact with the mercury and thereby close the circuit of the electro-magnet l; the ratchet-wheel q with pointer r attached is thus actuated. During this motion the spring s slides upon the contacts t, and makes and breaks the circuit of the electro-magnet. During charge the float rises, the electro-magnet l<2> is energized by means of a shunt u, and the lever v under the action of the permanent magnet l<3> moves from the contact x to the contact y; the electro-magnet l<1> is thus energized, and the wheel q is moved in the reverse direction. When the pan o makes contact with either of the end contacts c<1>, c<2>, it closes a circuit g containing a cell h, an alarm-bell i, and a switch k. In the modified construction shown in Fig. 2, the casing b contains a resistance coil w divided into sections by contactpins c<x> ; a constant source f of current is employed and the alterations in resistance are indicated on a volt-meter e.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Three Colour Reticules for Colour-photography.
Inventor: KRAYN ROBERT
Filed: 1908-01-31
Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 2213. Krayn, R. Feb. 5, 1907, [date applied for under, Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Colour photography; screens.-Improvements are described on the methods described in Specifications Nos. 58 and 495, A.D. 1907, for making colour screens. The method is based on the known fact that thin transparent films freshly cut from a celluloid block can be re-united by heat and pressure without any unevenness or irregularity occurring in the surfaces of contact. No agglutinant or other artificial adhesive methods are necessary. Three blocks of celluloid each in one of the three colours are cut or peeled into thin layers, which before their cut surfaces dry are placed one upon the other in regular sequence and united by heat and pressure. A block so formed is then cut transversely, giving a tri-colour ruled screen. Preferably in the first instance, the blocks are formed only to a height of a few millimeters, several of these being united before cutting the screen. Point screens are obtained by cutting or peeling very thin ruled screens, superposing in the above manner, and cutting transversely to the rulings. For printing positives, translucent screens are obtained by adding a finely divided white substance, such as zinc white, to the original monochrome blocks.

Granted: 1908-12-31
Abstract: 12,894. Muller, O. M. June 16. Lighters, pipe, cigar, and like.-Three forms of a platinum igniting-appliance are specified. In that shown in Fig. 1, a chamber a contains a cup-shaped piston a<4> filled with wick saturated with a volatile liquid such as methyl alcohol. The chamber a is connected by a bayonet-like joint a<1> to an ignition chamber c, which rests on a washer a<2> and closes the chamber a. An opening between the chambers a, c is closed by a valve e on a spring-controlled stem g, to which the piston a<4> and a cover f for the ignition chamber, are also attached. When the stem g is pressed up, the piston a<4> drives combustible vapour into the chamber c, and holes o, o<1> in the cover f and chamber c are brought into coincidence, so that air is admitted and ignition effected by a pellet k held by platinum wires i carried by a wire hoop f<1>. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the valve e is supported by a spring. The cover f with the pellet and parts f<1>, h are fixed to a stem g. When the stem g is lowered, the valve e is lowered by the part h, and combustible vapout enters the ignition chamber. On reversing the motion, the cover f is raised and the paper ignites. In another form, Fig. 4, the pellet is cut off from the ignition chamber by a cylindrical cup e<1>, carried by a rack p gearing with a pinion q, while the cover f is attached to a second rack p<1>. The rack p and cup e<1> are lowered by pulling a handle n' so as to leave the pellet surrounded by vapour, the cover f being simultaneously raised, whereupon the pellet ignites the vapour.

Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 13,450. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke Ges.]. June 24. Cut-outs.-Fuses of the cartridge type are rendered non - interchangeable in their sockets by varying the diameter of the contact-pins, and inserting in the plug socket a gauge piece of special design and without projections. The body a of the socket, which may be of porcelain or other suitable material, receives a metal contact-piece b to which one of the circuit wires is connected. The cartridge fuse h is inserted into the plug g, so that one of its terminals is in contact with the Edison screw c which is connected to the other circuit wire, and the contact-pin k, which forms the other terminal, presses down upon the contact-piece b. The gauge piece d is a round plug of insulating- material bored with a hole of the correct diameter just to accommodate the pin k. The gauge piece is held in place by an outwardly-springing ring of steel wire or other suitable material l, which is seated in a groove round the circumference of the gauge piece. Two or more rings or a spiral spring may be used, and, in a modification, a screw-thread of a pitch corresponding to the thread c of the plug g is formed on the outer circumference of the gauge piece. A special tool is used to insert or extract the gauge piece.
Patent GB-190817536-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Controller Mechanism for Electrically Operated Cranes, Lifts and the like.
Filed: 1908-08-20
Granted: 1909-08-20
Abstract: 17,536. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Aug. 21, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor control systems switches.-In the system of control for overhead travelling cranes, lifts, &c. described in Specification No. 11,926, A.D. 1907, a solenoid 6<1>, Fig. 1, which completes the motor circuit when energized, is connected across the mains in the zero position of the controller, but in other positions is in series with a resistance 7. In the zero position, current passes from the line 1 through the solenoid, a conductor 9 (which may have a switch 21), contacts 10, 11, and a conductor 12 to the line 2. The core of the solenoid thereupon lifts, and connects the motor across the line. After leaving the zero position, up to and including the first position, the solenoid circuit includes the resistance 7, a conductor 16, and a contact 17. Beyond the first position, the circuit is by way of the limit switch 18 or 13 and a contact 20 or 15, according to the direction of rotation of the motor. The function of the resistance is to cut the solenoid current down to a holding on strength, necessitating the return of the controller to the zero position after tripping of the limit switch. In a modification, after the solenoid circuit has been made as before through the conductor 9, Fig. 2, a contactor 22 cuts in the conductor 16 up to the first position of the controller, after which the circuit is through one of the limit switches. In both cases, after the limit switch has broken the solenoid circuit, the lift can be run to the end of its travel by moving the controller to its first position, utilizing the conductor 16. For hoists in which when a decrease of speed is desired, the motor is run as a braking- generator, the contacts 22 &c. are arranged so that the magnetic switch comes into operation, not at the zero position, but at the most powerful braking position ; the controller must, therefore, be turned into the latter position for the operation of the brake magnets. Specification No. 11,070, A.D. 1907, is also referred to.

Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 6053. Robertson, A. R. March 13. Regulating. - In turbines operated by a number of jets, a detent device is provided, the release of which enables the fluid pressure to close a valve cutting out one or more nozzles. The valve C<3> governing the fluid supply to a nozzle B' is held open in the absence of fluid pressure in the pipe C<2> by a weak spring C<4>. Toggle links D<2>, D<3> are interposed between the end of the valve spindle D and a fixed point D', and are connected by an adjustable link E with a block on one end of a rocking spindle E<1> which carries a vane F, the lower end of which lies in the path of the water leaving the Pelton wheel. A stop F<1> limits the upward motion of the link E. Fluid from the valve B supplies the main nozzle through the pipe C', and the auxiliary speeding-up nozzle B<2> through the pipe C<2> and valve C<3>. Motion of the vane F due to the reflexed flow of the discharged fluid is prevented by the stop F' ; but as the wheel speeds up, the discharged fluid attains a forward flow, and operates the toggle device by means of the vane F, thereby allowing the valve C' to close under the pressure of the fluid supply. Other detent devices employing eccentrics, cams, wedges, or the like may be used, and may be operated by a centrifugal or other governor, a cataract, or a leakage device.
