Title: Automatic Sluice Gate.
Inventor: LARSON GUSTAVE
IPC: E02B7/20
Filed: 1913-08-11
Granted: 1914-02-19
Abstract: 18,238. Larson, G. Aug. 11. Sluice g a t e s . - A sluice gate is mounted so as to rotate about an instantaneous c e n t r e and is adapted to open and shut automatically under certain predet e r m i n e d conditions. The gate 1, Fig. 1, is mounted upon an arm 6, hinged at 7 and 3, and is also supported by a roller 8, which runs on a guide 4 described as an arc from the centre 5. The instantaneous centre of rotation is thus the point 14. Stops 9, 11, 12 are provided to limit the movement of the gate in both directions. The centre of gravity of the gate, and its centre of pressure, are fixed so that the gate closes for waterlevels below P on the side M, and opens at level P, allowing water to flow in direction a. When the water-level on the side N is higher than on the side M, the gate opens by rotation about the point 7, and closes by its own weight. A modification is described in which the stops 11, 12 are extended until they meet, thus allowing the gate to open only when the level on side M is above that on side N. Another modification is described in which the arm 6 is substituted by another roller and guide. Fig. 10 shows a modification in which the pivot 5 is placed above the gate, and thus allows the gate to open only for a flow in direction b. Fig. 12 shows a device for preventing solid bodies from lodging in the roller 8, and consists of a guard 30 which can rotate only through a small angle, while the guard 33 prevents solid bodies from lodging between the roller and gate. A device is described for obtaining a water-tight joint at the edge of the gate, this device being identical with that described in Specification 18,239/13.

Title: Improvements in Electrical Relays.
Inventor: RAILING ADOLPH HARRY
IPC: H02H3/00
Filed: 1914-07-11
Granted: 1915-07-01
Abstract: 16,575. Railing, A. H., and Garrard, C. C. July 11. Electro-magnetic switches. - Reverse power relays for controlling automatic circuit-breakers are provided with a voltage-compensating coil which is independent of the magnetic circuit of the operating-coils and acts to assist the countercontrolling spring or weight, so that if a fall in voltage occurs upon reversal, a smaller reverse power is required to cause the relay to operate. In a rotary-disk relay shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, the compensating-coil 11 pulls downwards upon a magnetic counterweight 7 which keeps the disk against a stop. The usual series and shunt coils 2, 3, when the power reverses, produce a torque urging: the disk away from the stop against the action of the weight. Decrease of voltage reduces the magnetic pull upon the weight 7 thereby counteracting the reduction in the torque due to operating-coils 2, 3. The compensating-coil may alternatively act directly on the disk or on another disk on the same shaft. Similar arrangements are shown applied to relays of the dynamometer type.

Abstract: 20,354. Sj÷str÷m, I. L. Sept. 30, 1913, [Convention date]. Apparatus for treating with liquids.-Cloth (and, according to the Specification as open to inspection, paper) is cooled and conditioned by causing a web thereof to travel in a number of lengths or stretches over suitable guiding-means, the various stretches being exposed to vapour given off from water or other suitable liquid in the spaces between them. In a particular form of apparatus, the web f passes into and out of a closed box a through openings b, c travelling therein in zigzag position over driven rolls d and guide rolls e. Water flows into and out of a tray h in the bottom of the box a through pipes i, j and is brought close to practically the whole length of the web f by conveyers k which are endless aprons of some flexible absorbent material such as duck or felt. Each apron passes over an upper driven roll and a lower guide roll m, which is below the surface of the water in the tray h. The web f travels fast while the conveyers k travel slowly. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), in addition to comprising the above-mentioned application of the described treatment to paper, states also that the conveyers &c. may be of non-absorbent material. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
