Patent GB-190609211-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Fluid Pressure Brake Systems.
Filed: 1906-04-18
Granted: 1907-04-04
Abstract: 9211. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. April 18. Brakes.-Relates to automatic compressed-air brake systems which are fitted with electrically-operated valves adapted to connect the train - pipe side of the triple valve to atmosphere to apply the brakes, and, at the same time, to disconnect the triple valve from the train - pipe, so that trainpipe pressure is not reduced when the brakes are applied electrically. The brake system shown comprises the usual driver's valves E for connecting the train-pipe T to the main reservoir R or the atmosphere, auxiliary reservoir A, brake cylinder B, and triple valve V. An electrically - operated valve D is arranged in the connexion between the train-pipe and the triple valve. When the switches S are in the position shown, the electric circuit to the valves is open ; the valve D occupies the position, shown in Fig. 3, in which the train-pipe passage t communicates with the triple-valve passage v; the brake cylinder exhaust valve b, Fig. 2, is closed ; and the brakes can be controlled pneumatically in the usual way. In the electricrelease position 1 of the switch, the train-wires g, h are energized; the magnet G draws up its core and rocks a cross-piece d' about its pivotal connexion to the core of the magnet F, whereby the slide valve D is moved to cover the triple-valve passage v, and the magnet H opens the exhaust valve b. In the lap position 2 of the switch, the wire g only is energized, so that the exhaust valve b is closed, and the triple valve is still cut off from the train-pipe. In the electric-application position 3 of the switch, the wires f, g are energized, the cores of both magnets F, G are thus drawn up, and the slide valve D closes the triple-valve passage v to the train-pipe passage t and opens it to the exhaust passage a. In case the valve D should stick while obturating the triple-valve passage v, and so prevent the brakes from being applied pneumatically, there is provided, around the valve D, a by-pass containing a check-valve c, which allows air to flow from the triple valve to the train-pipe, but prevents it from passing in the opposite direction. The exhaust valve b may be a normally-open one adapted to close the triplevalve exhaust.

Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 18,120. Lacy, H. Aug. 13. Armatures; brush-holders; commutators; field magnets; motors.-Fig. 1 is a plan and Fig. 2 a section showing the construction of the fieldmagnet core and winding of a motor. The core consists of a soft-iron tube x, surrounding but not touching the shaft a, and surrounded by iron wires d, over the ends of which are shrunk soft iron disks j. In winding the core, two layers r of thick wire are wound in one direction, say clockwise, the ends of the wire being brought out at 1, 2 ; two layers s of finer wire are then wound contra-clockwise, and the direction of winding is reversed whilst another two layers are wound, the ends being brought out at 3, 4. This method of winding is continued, decreasing the thickness and increasing the number of layers of each particular size of wire, the direction of winding being reversed after every two layers. Plates k, of diamagnetic material, form the ends of the bobbin. The shaft a carries, at one or both ends of the core, soft-iron armature disks f, in which are formed radial slits extending nearly to the centre. On these disks press brushes g, supported by suitable holders on insulated sleeves o. The pressure of the brushes is regulated by means of springs g, v, and a nut y. A switch is provided for connecting the brushes and windings in various combinations. Specifications No. 17,788, A.D. 1895, and No. 2887, A.D. 1906, are referred to.
Patent GB-190701466-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Armoured Cupolas.
Filed: 1907-01-19
Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 1466. Soc. Anon. J. Cockerill, and Ternstrom, E. Jan. 19. Turrets.-An armoured turret or cupola is constructed so as to yield when struck by a projectile or to the shock of firing. The cap 1 rests upon a lead ring 8 of U-section seated in a channel in a ring 2. The latter is supported by screws 6 and springs 7 upon a ring 4, which is rotatably mounted upon ball-bearings 5 upon a foundation ring 3. The ring 2, which may be lowered by the screws 6 so that its shoulders 10 rests upon the upper edge of the ring 3, has a vertical or inwardly-inclined flange 9 encircling the ring 3, so that when the cupola yields to the blow of a projectile, there is a frictional reaction between the flange and the ring, which opposes the tendency of the turret to tilt. In a modification, in which the ring 2 is mounted directly upon rollers upon the ring 3, the cap 1 is seated upon a lead ring as before, lateral grooves being provided in the walls of the channel into which the lead is forced if the cap is struck near its edge by a projectile ; the cap is connected to the ring 2 by bolts having stems of reduced diameter, and nuts bearing upon Belleville washers. The spent cartridges are received in a sack 13 having a two-leafed spring door 15. The powder gases from these cartridges pass to the outside through a conduit 16.

Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 21,923. Chappell, C. A. Oct. 4. Aerial machines without aerostats; aeroplanes; framework; steering; stopping way.-In an aerial machine having two superposed supporting-planes, the planes are connected together by flexible steel or wooden laths, and small movable planes are fixed to the front of the upper and lower planes for steering. The supporting-planes a, b have a framework f of the section shown in Fig. 4, and are connected together by flexible steel laths c. At the front and rear and at the ends, the frames are stayed by cords j, Fig. 9, which pass over pulleys cr staples i on the frames and are secured by a cleat k. This arrangement of stays allows the planes to move relatively to one another. Auxiliary steering- planes m, m<1> are pivoted to the front of the upper plane, and planes m<2>, m<3> to the front of the lower plane. These may be operated by hand or automatically by a pendulum. To the rear edges of the planes are attached cords o,p, Fig. 6, which can be operated separately or simultaneously for steering and balancing the machine, the rear edges of the upper and lower planes being lowered and raised for inclining the machine upwards and downwards respectively. When all the four planes are inclined, they act as a brake for stopping the machine. A duplicate set of cords s, t, Fig. 7, may be attached to the planes and connected by cords 1, 2 to a pendulum u which operates to maintain the machine horizontal. Instead of a duplicate set of cords s, t, the cords 1, 2 can be attached to the cords o, p. Stops q are placed on the cords to limit their movement.

Title: Improvements in Dynamo-electro-machines for Installations subject to Short Circuits and the like
Filed: 1907-10-29
Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 23,881. Felten & Guilleaume - Lah - meyerwerke Akt.-Ges. Oct. 31, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Distributing; converting alternating and direct currents.-The exciting - circuits of continuouscurrent generators subject to large back electromotive forces or short-circuits are so arranged as to limit the load current automatically to a predetermined maximum. Fig. 1 shows a generator driven by a motor, the two being placed between the supply mains and the arc lamps l. The motor is shunt-excited by a coil f, and has on the axis of its driving-brushes a an over-compensating coil c and a shunt coil g, both of which oppose the armature field along the axis a-a. The load current traverses a coil h, the field of which opposes those of the coils c, g, and the generator field coil i is excited by brushes b placed along the axis of the shunt coilf. An increase in the load current accordingly reduces the exciting potential at the brushes b, and the current is thus automatically limited. The two machines may be combined into one when one of them has twice as many poles as the other, or when its field axis is shifted by one half of the pole-pitch with regard to the other, as shown in Fig. 2. In this form, the winding i, Fig. 1, is combined with the winding g, which, as before, generates an electromotive force at the brushes b in opposition to that generated by the load current in the coil h. The armature field in the direction a-a is neutralized by the com- . pensating - winding c. The invention is also applicable to alternating-current installations, or for transforming from alternating to direct-current or vice versa, as shown in Fig. 3, in which the direct-current motor M drives the alternator G. The load current passes through a series alternating-current motor x, which is coupled to a direct-current dynamo y by which the opposing- current in the coil h is supplied.
