Abstract: 1483. Scheibe, H. M. Jan. 21, 1909, [Convention date]. Vapour apparatus, arrangements of. -The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises the following:-A relay switch which allows the excitation of a starting-solenoid on accidental failure of a vapour device is constructed so that a diminished rectified current in the work circuit causes it to be locked. Thus, if the load is a storage battery, the rectifier, which is arranged so as to cease working when the maximum electromotive force of the battery has been reached, is not started again after such cessation. The relay electro-magnet is excited by a coil 30 in the direct-current circuit, and has stationary and movable cores 28,29, and an iron frame 74 attached to a stationary slab, not shown, by means of projections 75, 76. A rod on the upper core 29 carries a bridging-contact 44 and has a collar engaged by the forked end of a lever 37, from the other end of which depends a rod 41. A notch on this rod and a tooth on a heavy hanging arm 39 are shaped so that the tooth rides over the notch during rapid movements of the rod, as when the rectifier fails while supplying full current. The rod 41 has adjustable nuts 73, which support a loose weight 62 when the core 29 is drawn well in, but, if the rectified current diminishes, the weight 62 drops on to a bracket 79 and arrests the rod with the notch opposite the tooth, so that the rod is locked. Release is effected by means of a hand-wheel on a shaft 70, a crank 68, link 69, and a spring-urged lever 64, which engages a projection 63 on the arm 39. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 14,956. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. June 21. Systems for alternating-current motors only; master control systems.-An automatic electric control system for alternating-current motors comprises a number of successively - operating accelerating-switches 11, 12, 13 governed by automatic auxiliary switches 15, 16, which cause each of the accelerating-switches to return to its open position prior to the operation of the succeeding switch devices 22, 23, and for checking the successive operation of the accelerating- switches while abnormal current conditions exist in the motor. As shown, an electro-magnetic starting-switch 10 is adapted, upon closure of its actuating-circuit at the hand-switch 25, to connect voltage-reducing means 5, 6, for example auto-transformer windings a, b, c, in two phases of an induction motor 1. A switch 10<a> coupled to the starting-switch completes a circuit, by way of leads 34, 35, switch disk 20 of the automatic auxiliary switch 15, and leads 36, 37, which energizes the accelerating-switch 11 to cut out the auto-transformer sections c. The consequent rush of current operates an overload relay 22. The circuit of the auxiliary switch winding 15 is otherwise closed at the switch disk 45 by way of lead 46, the overload relay contacts and leads 47, 48. When the motor current has sufficiently decreased, the auxiliary switch 15 is energized by the fall of the relay switch 22. The actuating-circuit of the switch 11 is thus broken at the switch disk 20, a retaining-circuit for the auxiliary switch 15 is made at the disk 18, and the disk 19 is raised. When the switch 11 has opened, the switch 12 is energized by current through the disk 49, lead 50, disk 19, lead 51, disk 20 of the auxiliary switch 16, and leads 52, 53. The sections b of the auto-transformer are thereupon cut out, the short-circuiting of these having been avoided by the electrical interlocking between switches 11, 12. The overload relay 23 and auxiliary switch 16 perform functions similar to those of the switches 22, 15 respectively, finally energizing the switch 13 and applying the full pressure of the mains 2, 3, 4 to the motor, after the switch 12 has opened. This last movement lifts the switch disk 27 and opens the actuating-circuit of the starting-switch 10. The switch 13 is held closed by current from the main 3 through the switch 25, leads 26, 66, 67, disks 68, leads 69, disk 19 of switch 16, and leads 70, 38 to the main 4.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Electrolysis of Fused Alkali Chlorides.
IPC: C25C3/02
Filed: 1910-08-02
Granted: 1911-08-02
Abstract: 18,300. Ges. fur Chemische Industrie in Basel. Dec. 22, 1909, [Convention date]. Fused electrolytes, apparatus for.-Alkali metal collecting above fused chloride, or a mixture of this with other salts, is insulated from the cathode, and is separated from chlorine by partitions which are mainly vertical, are unattacked by the electrolyte and products, and are permeable to current without discharge of ions except at such parts as are outside the current path. The partition in contact with the metal may be of iron or nickel, and that in contact with chlorine of clay, porcelain, or prepared asbestos or quartz. An horizontal cathode 2, Fig. 1, may be placed below a trough 9 in which the metal collects. The trough may be replaced by two partitions depending from the cover, through which the cathode supports may then pass. Scattering of the rising metal is prevented by one or more screens 8, 10 of wire netting. The chlorine-proof partitions 6 only just dip into the electrolyte, or are perforated below its surface. The gas escapes by passages 7. The cathode supports 3 may be partly surrounded by sheaths of magnesia. The salt is fused first by resistances 11 and then by alternating current between electrodes 12, or between one such electrode and the cathode. The cell may be rectangular or cylindrical. In another apparatus, to be heated from outside, the anode is within the screens 8, 10, and the cathodes are outside them; the inner screens have imperforate extensions in contact with the outer faces of the partition 6. Fig. 4 shows an anode 5 below a cathode, chlorine being deflected by a sheet 10 of asbestos cloth or other material which closes the cathode chamber. The position of the electrodes may be reversed, the sheet 10 being perforated or made of close wirenetting, or being replaced by a series of louverlike strips. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes arrangements with electrodes one above the other, as shown in Fig. 4, but with only one partition between the products. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
