Title: Improvements in or connected with Electrical Measuring Instruments of the Wattmeter Class
Filed: 1905-03-15
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 5447. Nalder Bros. & Thompson, and Curtis, R. F. March 15. Energy meters.- Watt-meters consist of fixed series solenoids and movable inner shunt solenoids with their axes parallel, the shunt solenoids being mounted eccentrically on spindles parallel to the axes of the series solenoids. Magnetic pieces may be mounted inside or outside the series coils, and the spindles may then be axially mounted. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the shunt solenoid b, mounted on arms b<3> on the axial spindle b' and controlled by volute springs b<5> which also serve to convey current, is repelled by a core c and attracted by cores c<1>. When no cores are used, the spindle is mounted parallel to but eccentrically of the axis of the series coil. In a modification, two shunt solenoids are disposed on opposite sides of the spindle, one above the other, and are repelled by two cores fixed inside the series coil. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the upper and lower shunt coils are oppositely wound, and are repelled and attracted respectively by the single core c. This form is very little affected by external fields. In the form shown in side view in Fig. 9, a single shunt coil b is repelled by an external magnetic piece c and attracted by another c<1>. Similar pieces may be arranged inside as well as outside the series coil. The spindles may be gravitationally controlled.

Title: Improvements in Magnetic Sparking Plugs, for Internal Combustion and other Engines
Inventor: TORRENS JOHN ARTHUR
Filed: 1905-03-25
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 6337. Torrens, J. A. March 25. Gas and like engines, igniting in. Relates to a magnetic sparking-plug of the type shown in Fig. 1 in which the tubular core a of a solenoid slides on the movable electrode b and strikes a shoulder c thereon, to produce a more sharplydefined break of the circuit and to permit of the use of a battery of lower voltage than can be employed with the ordinary form of plug. According to this invention, the core when at rest is supported by a shoulder formed on the stirrup carrying the fixed electrode e, to prevent hammering on the contact-points. The movable electrode returns to its normal position by gravity alone or aided by a spring f. The core may be fluted to allow gas to pass freely, and may consist of a coil of iron or steel wire. When at rest, the core is at a distance from the shoulder c such as will allow the current to attain its maximum intensity before the circuit is broken.

Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 18,272. Elsner, J., and Sonnenthal, G. Sept. 9. Brakes; gearing; pulley-blocks and lifting-tackle. -Relates to clutch and brake gear for lifting or hoisting appliances, and consists in the provision of a second independent friction clutch which is put into gear on the lifting of the load at the completion of the clutching-operation and is released only when the load descends, such descent being regulated by the first clutch and by a centrifugal brake. Figs. 1 and 2 show the invention applied to lifting-appliances provided with worm gear. By rotation of the hand chain-wheel in the lifting direction, the worm-wheel a is moved along a screw-thread on its shaft d into engagement with a brake disk k against the action of springs h<1>, after which frictional contact is established between the main cone clutch members of the worm-wheel a and chain-wheel b. When lowering, these members are released, but the load does not descend until the frictional resistance between the members k, b is sufficiently diminished. If the load is so great that this regulation of descent does not suffice, the apparatus is provided with a band brake, operated on excessive speed by the centrifugal action of a spring-controlled lever m. With ordinary spurwheel lifting-gear, ratchet pawls are provided on the driving-shaft f in order to prevent running back of the wheel a when the load is descending.
