Abstract: 13,410. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 2. Inductor alternators; rotary converters; windings.-A machine, capable of use as a selfexciting high-frequency alternator, a doublecurrent generator, or a rotary converter, consists of a slotted armature C with coils D connected to a commutator c, and a field frame A having magnetizing-coils B and a winding E, the coils of which have a pitch equal to that of the armature teeth. The number of armature teeth is preferably an even multiple of the number of field poles, and as these teeth sweep past the teeth of the field frame, they induce alternating currents in the winding E, so that, by connecting the coils B to the commutator brushes, the machine may be arranged as a double-current generator or self-exciting alternator. By supplying direct or alternating current to the windings D, E, respectively, the machine may be used as a rotary converter. In order to cause the winding D to close on itself, an extra coil is used, so that two slots contain an extra conductor each.

Abstract: 46. Webb, A. Ogilvy-, Booker, H. J., and Reinecke, R. C. A. Jan. 2. A r c lamps. - Variable gearing having definite speed-ratios is interposed between an alternating- current feeding-motor and a feed-shaft, so that the electrodes are brought together more quickly when there is no arc than they are during burning. The invention is applicable to low-frequency lamps and to magazine lamps. An induction disk d, capable of being driven in either direction by opposing shunt and series electro-magnets e, f, may be geared to a spindle g. A loose arm k on this spindle carries two gear-wheels, each engaging with a separate wheel on the spindle g, the rocking of the arm k bringing one or other of the former wheels into mesh with a wheel p geared to the feed-shaft s. Alternatively, the arm k may control clutches for varying the gear. The arm k carries a contact t for completing a cut out circuit through a resistance v, and is actuated by an armature w of the series driving-magnet f or by a separate series electro-magnet; copper studs or other devices prevent adhesion of the armature. The arm k may be pivoted to a rod b for actuating the laterally striking gear in an inclined-carbon lamp. Alternatively, when it is desired to regulate the arc by lateral movement of the electrodes, the rod b is pivoted to an arm 2 on the feed-shaft s, on which is a ratchet-wheel z engaging a pawl 4 on the arm 2 ; a stop 3 may deflect the pawl away from the wheel z on continuous movement of the latter in the feeding direction.

Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 568. Bart, H. Jan. 7, 1910, [Convention date]. Arylarsonic acids.-Aryl substitution derivatives of arsenic acid useful in therapeutics, and having the general formula R - As#O #<OK>OK, u where R is an aromatic radicle and K is a kation, are obtained by causing bodies containing the group - As#<OK>OK or - As = O to react with aromatic diazo compounds, with the exception of normal diazobenzene, in neutral acid, or alkaline solution or suspension, preferably with the application of heat. Suitable compounds containing the afore-mentioned groups are arsenious acid or its salts, arylarsenic oxides, arylarsinious acids, or their salts, &c. In examples p-bromphenylarsonic acid is produced from the diazo compound of p-bromaniline, pmonoacetylaminophenylarsonic acid from the diazo compound of p-monoacetylphenylenediamine, p-tolylarsonic acid from the diazo compound of p-toluidine, and o-carboxyphenylarsonic acid from the diazo compound of oaminobenzoic acid. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) mentions also the use of diazo compounds containing more than one aromatic nucleus in which at least a diazo group is present, and also the use of diazo compounds from arylarsinic, or polyarsinic, acids which may also contain substituents such as OH, NH2, and NO2. Compounds of the type <#R>R #AS# <OK>O may also be produced, and in examples compounds are produced from potassium isodiazobenzene and potassium arsenite, sodium o-nitroisodiazobenzene or its isomers and sodium arsenite, 4-nitro-2-diazophenol or its isomers and sodium arsenite, sodium m-diazophenylarsonate or diazoarsonic acids containing substituents such as NH2, OH, halogen, SO3H, AsO.(OH)2, &c. and potassium arsenite, p-nitrodiazobenzene and arsenious acid, 4-nitro-2-diazophenol and magnesium arsenite, p-nitrodiazobenzene and sodium p-nitrophenylarsonate or compounds with positive substituents such as macetylaminophenylarsonic acid, and from pdiazophenol or its isomers, or diazopolyphenols, or ethers or esters of any of these compounds, such as diazoguaiacol, and sodium arsenite. This subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Button-hole Stitching Attachments or Mechanism for Sewing Machines.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: D05B3/14
Filed: 1911-04-27
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 10,230. Lake, W. E., [D. & D. Button-Hole Machine Co.]. April 27. Sewing - machines; buttonholing - a t t a c hments; buttonhole-sewing machines. - T h e cloth clamp is traversed by a screw 26 engaging a bar 55. The feed is reversed by reversing the rotation of the screw. The screw is rotated by lugs 19, Fig. 11, which are moved in a rectangular path and alternately engage teeth on a pin wheel 25 secured to the screw. The lugs 19 are carried by a plate 14, Fig. 8, mounted to slide horizontally upon a plate 16 which can move vertically. A cam-plate 11 is carried by a shaft 7 which is oscillated by the usual needleoperated lever. The ends of the parts 12, 13 alternately engage lugs 20 ... 23 on the plate 14 and so give it the requisite compound motion. The bar 55 is pivoted at 56 to the cloth clamp and a pin 58<1> upon it engages with an oblique slot in a plate 53. The plate 53 is held from lateral movement by a block pivoted on the frame which engages a slot 54 but the cloth clamp can slide laterally upon the plate. Normally, the bar 55 does not move relatively to the cloth clamp, but at the reversal of the feedscrew the pin 58<1> moves in the oblique siot and causes the cloth clamp to move upon the plate 53 thereby changing the stitching point from one side of the buttonhole to the other. The lugs 19 on the plate 14 are three in number and the rotation of the feed-screw is reversed when the screw is moved laterally to put one of the outer lugs out of action and bring the other one in. This is occasioned by a plate 37 which is moved at the end of each longitudinal movement by one of lugs 33, 34 so that one of the corners 47, 48 is in the path of the lugs 49. The plate is pivoted on the frame and when rotated by one of the lugs 49 it engages a pin 41 on a plate 43 upon which the screw is mounted and moves it laterally. The clamp is caused to oscillate about the pivot block in the slot 54 to produce the overedge stitching by an oblique extension 32 of the plate 16 which works in a slot in a bar 29 adjustably secured to the cloth clamp at 30. The extension 32 may be secured to the plate 16 so that its obliquity can be altered for the purpose of adjusting the depth of the overedge stitches.

Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 18,322. Milne, R. Aug. 14. Electric clocks.-Relates to an electric master clock in which a pendulum receives impulses at intervals from a gravity lever, and consists in arranging the impulse-mechanism in the central vertical plane parallel to the face of the pendulum. The pendulum comprises two parallel rods A, or two alined rods connected to a looped frame, having a transverse bracket E on which a ratchet-wheel D is pivoted. The wheel is rotated as the pendulum swings by a pawl d on a fixed pivot. On the bracket E is also mounted a lever F, one end f of which rests on the ratchet-wheel D, the other end normally passing through a slot in a hanging member K<1>. This member engages, by a pin-and-slot connexion, with a suspended detent K having a spring catch k which supports a lever H, a roller h<1> being mounted on this lever vertically under the point of suspension of the pendulum. When the end f of the lever F passes into a deep notch d<3> in the ratchet-wheel, the other end of the lever shifts the hanger K<1>, and thereby the detent K, the lever H being thus allowed to fall so that the roller h<1> strikes a pallet G, imparting an impulse to the pendulum when it is at the end of its swing. The gravity lever is reset by means of an electro-magnet 0, the circuit of which is closed when a depending branch N of the lever touches the armature o. A currentimpulse is also thereby transmitted to indicators. In order to accelerate the indicators, if desired, the hanger K<1> may be moved forward against the action of a spring by means of a knob m<2>, so that it is shifted by the lever F and the lever H released at every complete oscillation of the pendulum.
