Title: Improvements in Arc Lamps.
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1912-02-09
Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 3269. K÷rting & Mathiesen Akt.-Ges. Dec. 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Arc lamps.- Feeding-mechanism is normally arrested by means of an electro-magnet which attracts and holds a wheel, the exciting circuit of the electro-magnet being made, broken, or varied by a relay electro-magnet, or by the ordinary arc striking and regulating mechanism. Fig. 2 shows a ribbon-wound feed-magnet 2 having a conical outer pole for engagement with a similar rim on the wheel 4; a spiral spring 9 is provided. The feed-magnet is either held fast by a screw 11 or is turned about the axle by the arc striking and regulating mechanism. In another arrangement the feed-magnet is E-shaped and acts on the flat side of a disk. The winding of the feed-magnet may be connected to the terminals of a series resistance through a switch which can be opened by a shunt electro-magnet. Alternatively, the feedmagnet may have a series winding and an opposing winding which can be connected in shunt to the first winding by a switch actuated by a differential regulating-electromagnet.

Abstract: 5796. M÷ller, E. March 8, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Thermal switches.-The contacts 8, 9 of a thermal relay are maintained apart against the force of a spring by means of the tension in a. stretched wire 5 through which the current controlling the operation of the relay is passed. The wire 5 extends from a terminal 1 around two pegs on a rotatable shaft 3, and back to another terminal 4, the tension of the wire being adjusted by rotating the shaft 3. The two branches of the wire pass through or over an insulating-projection 10 carried by the contact - spring 8. When the current in the wire exceeds a predetermined limit, the wire expands and permits the contact-spring 8 to move into contact with the contact 9.

Abstract: 13,586. Albert, K., and Berend, L. June 10. Impregnating-compositions. - Asphalt, tar, pitch, resin, balsams, oils, wax, paraffins, hydrocarbons, cresols, and other substances wholly or almost wholly insoluble in water, are emulsified by means of concentrated neutralized sulphite cellulose lye. A relatively small quantity of the lye is used, and preferably, the substance to be emulsified, which if solid is dissolved in a solvent miscible with or emulsifiable by the lye, and a small quantity of water, are mixed alternately with the lye. Acid or neutral salts, for example calcium, magnesium, or zinc chlorides, or mercury salts, formaldehyde, or tanning-materials may be added without destroying the emulsions. The products obtained are stated to give insoluble residues after evaporation of the water, and to be applicable for impregnating-compositions, preservatives, &c. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) mentions sulphur as one of the substances emulsified. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Electric Snap Switches.
Inventor: KLEIN CHARLES JULIUS
IPC: H01H13/28
Filed: 1912-08-20
Granted: 1913-08-20
Abstract: 19,073. Klein, C. J. Aug. 20. Switches, quick-action.-A snap-action switch is operated by a pair of cams of complementary outline so arranged that a predetermined movement of the actuating-cams develops opposite reactions on the moving switch-member but imparts no movement thereto until the predetermined movement has been exceeded, whereupon a quick ' on ' or ' off ' movement is imparted to the switch-member. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, which illustrate a lampsocket switch, the operating push-buttons are connected with and serve to actuate a pair of oppositely-directed V-shaped cams 7, 8. The actuated member 4 which carries the moving switch-contacts 5 is mounted to oscillate upon a pin 13, and is pressed down by a spring 15 so that the depending projections 3 engage respectively with the two cams. During the first part of the movement of the operating-member, the projections 3 engage parallel faces of the cams and the spring 15 is compressed, but no rotary movement is produced. Upon a further movement, however, one of the projections passes over the crest of one of the cams, and the projections then engage oppositely inclined faces of the cams which react in the same direction, under the action of the spring 15, to produce a quick switching-movement. The switch member may be arranged to move in the same plane throughout its movement by providing a sliding connexion between the projections 3 and the switch member 4. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the complementary cams are hinged to the push-button actuating-member and spring-pressed on to projections upon the switch-member 25. A two-button wall-switch is shown in Fig. 12 in which the complementary cams 31, 32, actuated by push-buttons 9 and inter-connected by the pivoted link 33, serve to operate a reciprocating switch member consisting of a frame 35 sliding on a vertical rod and co-operating with fixed contacts 38. The frame carries balls 36 which are yieldingly pressed against the cams by the spring 37.

Abstract: 25,419. Smith, J. G., and Smith, W. P. Nov. 6. Jacquards.-The faces of the driving-bars 1 of dropper jacquards for use with twist lace machines are 1 provided with slidable projections 7, which are arranged, one for each dropper box, and form the working face of the driviog-bars to allow of a ready re adjustment of the jacquard to different patterns of work. In one form, the slides 7 are formed with corrugations 10 equal in pitch to the gauge of the lace machine and are held down during normal workirg by a clipping-plate 11, which is similarly corrugated. The slides fit side by side in a recess 2 of the driving-bar and the corners may be rounded ; the reduced ends 15 are surrounded by springs 16 and fit in holes in the back of the bar, and may be offset for compactness. When a change in the pattern of work is to be made, the clipping-plate 11 is released and the slides are all pressed back into the tar. The droppers for the first motion are then brought into position and the slides of the corresponding bar 1 are adjusted so as to engage the dropper boxes or the droppers and clamped into the new position by the plate 11. The other bar 1 is adjusted similarly against the droppers for the second motion. In another form, the bar 1 is made in halves, each being recessed. In another form, cylindrical slides are used and the clipping- plate is held down on the slides against spring action.

Abstract: 1964. Kennedy, J. N. C. Jan. 24. Combined electrical and mechanical systems, non-automatic; slots, reversers, and like apparatus.-A semaphore arm is set to ' clear ' after preparation by the signalmen only when a train closes the circuit to an electro-magnet which releases a lock holding the signal at ' danger ' after the signalman has set the apparatus The signal, Fig. 2, is moved to ' clear ' by the weight s<2> which is normally overbalanced by the weight s<3> on the counterweighted lever connected to the signal wire s'. The weight s<2> is supported by a bar a held by a bell-crank lever b, which is locked in position shown by the toggle-links c', c<2>. When the magnet f is energized, the lever d falls and a projection thereon raises the joint of the levers c<1>, c<2>, and the lever b is forced clear of the bar a, which falls and sets the signal to ' clear,' and by links e, e<1> raises the lever d to its raised position. Contacts f<8>, f<9> in the circuit of the magnet keep the circuit open when the bar a is fully raised by the weight s<3> and when it is lowered. The magnet circuit may be closed by a train, thus allowing a train always to approach the signal at ' danger ' until within a certain distance of the signal, thereby necessitating a restriction of speed. For this purpose, one contact or two in series at a distance apart on the track may be used. Alternatively, the circuit may be closed by a signalman for testing purposes.
