Title: New or Improved Means for Guiding the Films in Cinematographic Apparatus.
Filed: 1908-11-06
Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 23,811. Duskes, A., and Duskes Kinematographen und Film - Fabriken Ges. Nov. 6. Kinematographs.-Relates to means for guiding the film in kinematographs, the film being so bent during a portion of its passage that the elastic reaction thrusts the film smoothly against a guide surface. The film a is deflected from a drum b by a roller o, describes a curve c, and then travels over a preferably adjustable guide-roller d to a plate f, which has an aperture g in line with the lens tube p. The plate f is hinged at h, and its lower part is thrust by a spring i against the driving-drum l. In order that the lower curved part of the drum f may lie against the surface of the drum e, it is provided with slots for the passage of the teeth.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Alternating Current Dynamo Electric Machinery.
Filed: 1908-12-04
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 26,198. Lancashire Dynamo and Motor Co., Wood, A. P., and McLeod, R. S. Dec. 4. Distributing; regulating.-A frequency changer which may be used to connect together two circuits P, Q, Fig. 1, of different frequencies for supplying common mains M', or so that energy may be transferred between the circuits P, Q, comprises two alternators A, B, the rotors r of which are mechanically coupled together. The armature a of one or both of the machines is made rotatable about the rotor axis, the rotation of the armature being controlled by gearing it to any device, such as an induction motor C, the torque of which may be controlled, for example, by means of resistances e in the rotor circuit. The motor C is arranged to exert a constant torque whereby, when the frequency of the supply Q corresponds with the speed and number of poles of the machine A, the armature of this machine remains stationary; if the frequency of either of the circuits alters, the armature a rotates in one direction or the other and accommodates the frequency-changer to the altered rate of the frequencies. The motor C may be a direct-current shunt-wound machine, with regulating-resistances in the armature and field circuits ; or, as shown in Fig. 3, it may be a separately-excited machine C<2> fed from a motorgenerator M, G. The generator G has a shunt field-winding o, a separately-excited winding v, and an opposing series winding w, as described in Specification No. 14,373, A.D. 1902. The motor M may be either a direct-current or an alternating- current machine. This arrangement enables energy ta'he transferred to the line through the motor generator. When the ratio of the frequencies of the circuits P, Q cannot be expressed by numbers suitable for the numbers of poles in the machine A, B, the armature a may be constantly rotated. Stationary field magnets and rotating armatures may be used.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Printing Machines.
Inventor: OSBORN HENRY CHISHOLM
Filed: 1908-12-31
Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 28,557. Osborn, H. C. Jan. 6, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Printing in several colours; printing-rollers ; printing-surfaces. - A rotary hand-operated machine of the kind having a printing-drum for carrying loose type is provided with four inking- ribbon reels 31, 32, 33, 34, Fig. 2, in the printing- cylinder. One inking-ribbon 30 may pass round these rollers, or each surface 25, 26 may be provided with a separate inking-ribbon for printing in two colours. In addition, the removable portions 47, 48 of the printing-cylinder may be provided with means for holding either loose type or stereo plates, to be inked separately by a felt or other roller 50 mounted in spring-pressed pivoted levers 51 and prevented by cams on the cylinder from engaging with the inking-ribbons. The machine is intended to print on a web 55 fed from a roller 56 past the impression rollers 21, 22 and the adjustable guide-roll 59 by the feeding-rolls 61, 62. These are made sectional as shown, and the shaft of the roller 62 may also carry a small roller 81 for printing a signature at suitable points in the web, which afterwards passes to the cutting- blade 63 operated from the cam 74 twice for every revolution of the main printing-cylinder. The paper during the cutting operation is buckled in the arched guides 79. Each impression cylinder 21, 22 has an eccentrically mounted shaft with a hand-lever at one end, which is set against a stop on an adjustable ring, to give the desired impression pressure. A spring on the ring keeps the lever in position. When printing in two colours, both impression rollers are in use, but at other times one is tripped. The signature roller 81 is normally held stationary on its shaft by the heel of a lever 89 engaging with portions of a clutch 84. When the adjustable stop 92 on the main cylinder engages the lever 89, the roller 81 is released for one revolution and prints an imitation signature on the web. The roller 81 has a rubber printing-surface inked by a roller 95. The inkribbon shifting and reversing mechanism in the main cylinder operates as follows. The spools 31, 34 and 32, 33 are geared together and only the spools 31, 32 are driven by ratchet-wheels 103, 123 and pawls 104, 124. These spring-controlled pawls are mounted on frames 126, 106 pivoted on a main frame 108, which slides on the boss 109 of the printing-cylinder and on a pin 115, and receives its motion from an eccentric fixed on the frame. The pivoted frames 126, 106, are coupled by a looped lever 128, so that, when one pawl is in operative position, the other pawl is held away from its ratchet, and the frames are held in either position by a spring-pressed roller 135 engaging with a notched projection 129 on the frame 106. When the pull on either of the pawls becomes too great, owing to the ribbon being all re-wound, the position of the pivoted frames 106, 126 is altered to bring the other pawl into action, and reverse the inking ribbon or ribbons.

Abstract: 8207. Wilson, J. G. May 19, 1909, [Convention date]. Fire-proof shutters.-Relates to means for releasing a fire-resisting sliding or rolling shutter of the partially-counterbalanced type, either automatically at a predetermined temperature or by manual or electric means operable at will.

Inventor: MORISON DONALD BARNS
IPC: F01K1/02
Filed: 1910-04-27
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 10,311. Morison, D. B. April 27. Feed-water, heating; heating water. - The surplus steam that normally escapes from a steam regenerative accumulator to the atmosphere is caused to pass into a body of water, conveniently feed-water, and to heat the same by its condensation. Exhaust steam passes by a pipe b to the submerged nozzles d in the accumulator c, and thence to the low - pressure turbine by a pipe e. When the pressure has risen sufficiently, steam passes into the feedheater h by the nozzles k which are submerged to a greater depth than the nozzles d. A pipe o, perforated at the water-level o<1>, connects the chambers c and h, and is provided with a non-return valve p at its lower end. Any uncondensed steam escapes by a pipe l, which may have a loaded valve l<1> to determine the pressure in the chamber h. When the pressure in the system is less than atmospheric, water is forced up the nozzle pipes and the valve m is closed, thereby preventing the leaking-in of air by the pipe l. In modifications, in which the chamber h is separated from the chamber c, steam may be led into the water of the heater through an open-ended pipe, or through a submerged loaded valve. The chamber h may be divided into a series of chambers to receive steam succesively as the pressure increases.
