Patent GB-190504504-A (GB)
Title: Improved Method of and Means of Governing or Controlling Electrically-driven Winding Machinery, Rolling Mills and the like.
Inventor: PIEPER HENRI
Filed: 1905-03-04
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 4504. Pieper, H. March 4. Distributing; regulating. -Relates to a method of controlling electric motors for driving intermittently-working machines such as colliery and like winding engines, rolling-mills, and the like, whereby the output of the generator is maintained uniform, power being accumulated by a By-wheel connected with a supplementary dynamo-electric machine when the motor is running on light load and restored to the motor when the load is increased. In working the system, as shown applied to a winding-engine in Fig. 4, three-phase current is transformed by means of a synchronous motor 2 coupled to the generator 1 or by means of any other rotary transformer into continuous current, by which the generator 1, the fly-wheel dynamo 4, and the motor 3, which are connected in series, are excited. The output of the generator is maintained uniform, despite variations in the current it supplies to the motor 3, by means of a rheostat 10 which is operated by a three-phase motor 11 under the control of an adjustable spring 12. The maximum output of the generator 1, and therefore the maximum speed of the motor 3, is controlled by a rheostat 13 which is operated by hand. In order to start the motor after one of its stoppages, in which the electromotive forces of the generator 1 and fly-wheel machine 4 are equal and opposite, the current in the excitation coils of the fly-wheel machine 4 is gradually decreased to zero and then increased in the opposite direction by means of a switch 6 operated by a hand-lever 9, the fly-wheel machine being thus converted from a motor to a generator. To slacken the speed and stop the motor 3, the reverse operation is performed. The motor 3 may be independently controlled by a switch 8 operated by a hand-lever 5. By means of this switch the armature and the series winding 7 ,of the motor 3 may. be short-circuited, the independent excitation regulated, and the direction of the current in the armature reversed so as to reverse the rotation of the motor. The fly-wheel machine may be short-circuited by the switch 15, and the speed of the motor 3 regulated by varying the excitation of the generator 1 by the rheostat 13.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Filling Boxes or Cartons
Inventor: MITCHELL ALBION LE FOREST
Filed: 1905-04-18
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 8282. Mitchell, A. le F., and Aiken, C. W. April 18.. Packeting and filling granular &c. materials.- A machine for automatically filling boxes or cartons is so arranged that the weight of each filled box causes the depression of the table on which it rests, thereby throwing into operation mechanism which advances the filled box to the delivering position and advances another empty box to the filling position. An empty box lying on the beltj, Fig. 1, driven from the pulley j 5, is carried forward by it until it rests within one of the open-sided boxes c<1>, Fig. 3, formed in the intermittently-rotating carrier c driven from the main shaft e by bevel-gearing. It is then carried forward by the carrier c until it reaches the table h beneath the filling-shoot i. During this movement, the bottom of the box rests on the fixed slope k<2>. The material from the shoot i passes through one of the funnels c<2>, which are detachably fixed to the carrier c. When the box has received its full charge, it depresses the table h, thereby causing the arm p<5>, Fig. 5, to disengage the detent p from the projection p<3>. At the same instant, the arm o is carried beyond the cam-piece m<4>, Figs. 1 and 5, and the spring m<2> presses the clutch members m, m<1> into engagement. The shaft e is then rotated by the cord pulley l and the filled packet is carried over the oblique slots k<6>, through which any spilt material falls, until it. reaches the belt j<2> which carries it from the machine. The shaft e is stopped after each revolution by the cam m<4> disengaging the clutch members. The mechanism is so arranged that at each stoppage of the carrier c one box is fed to one of the holders c<1>, another rests on the table h, and another is in the discharging position. Rotation of the carrier c by its own momentum is prevented by a brake s, Fig. 6, pressed by the spring s<3>. The weighted detent p, Fig. 5, ensures the stoppage of the carrier c in the correct position.

Title: Process for Preparing Compressed Gas for Power Purposes
Inventor: ASSMANN OSWALD
Filed: 1905-05-31
Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 11,413. Assmann, O. June 1, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas and like engines; furnace-gas engines.- Products of combustion for motive-power purposes are generated by introducing by different passages to a chamber a fuel and air or oxygen which have been previously heated to a temperature above the igniting-point of the fuel. If it is not convenient to beat the fuel, the air or oxygen may be heated excessively and give up its surplus heat to the fuel on mixing with it. The final heat may be imparted to the air and gaseous fuel by compression, and the heat of the engine exhaust may be used for the primary heating of the air and fuel. Combustion may take place in the cylinder of an internalcombustion engine.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Percussive Hand Tools, Power Hammers, and similar Tools Actuated by Fluid Pressure.
Inventor: STOCKS HARRY BENWELL
Filed: 1906-03-14
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 6137. Stocks, H. B., and Webb, J. R. March 14. Steam &c. hammers.-A percussive hand-tool, power hammer, rock drill, or similar tool, instead of being operated by an air-compressor, as described in Specifications No. 19,949, A.D. 1904, and No. 15,869, A.D. 1905, is driven by two continuous streams of air at different pressures supplied by two tubes to two passages i, admission being regulated by a spring-pressed throttle valve formed with cavities h at each side. These passages respectively connect the highpressure air with an annular recess k<1> and the low-pressure air with an annular recess l<1>. Highpressure air passing through a series of ports 5 continuously acts on the shoulder o of the differential valve n, which, when the parts are as in Fig. 1, is driven out. Air passes thence through ports 4, and, acting on the smaller area of the differential expansion valve r, forces it out also, thus allowing air to enter the rear of the cylinder by a series of ports 4, 9 to drive out the piston, and exhaust from the front of the piston to pass through passages 13, behind the valve n and through port w to the atmosphere. When the piston uncovers the port 16<a>, driving-air passes to the larger area t of the expansion valve, which is returned, a port 12 in the shell being provided to prevent compression behind the valve, and the piston completes its outward stroke by expansion. The reduced neck a<1> on reaching the ports 17 connects the larger area of the distributing-valve by a second port and passages with the highpressure air from the recess k<1>, and thus returns it to the position shown in Fig. 1. Low-pressure air then passes from the recess l<1>, port 6, reduced neck o<1> in the valve n, and a series of passages 3, 13 to return the piston, the exhaust passing through ports 9, 19 in the valve n and the port w. As soon as the front end of the piston uncovers the ports 16<b>, 14<b>, the high-pressure air in front of the two valves mingles with the low-pressure air and causes the valves to be again driven out by high pressure on the areas o, s. In a modification, the other end of the piston may have a reduced neck to exhaust to the atmosphere, through a port in the cylinder, the air that acts on the front areas of the valves. The expansion valve may be dispensed with or may be locked by a pin passing through a hole at the rear end of the shell u and having a snug pressed against the underside of the handle by a spring. The shell is connected to the valve-box by a notch and pin, and the end of the cylinder has dowel pins to engage holes in the disk v and valve-box q.
