Patent GB-190725116-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Dynamo-electric Machines.
Filed: 1907-11-12
Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 25,116. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Nov. 12. Armatures; field magnets.-Relates to the core structures of machines having former-wound polar distributed windings, in which the coils for each pole are distinct from and do not overlap the coils of adjacent poles, such as the compensating- windings of compensated series motors and the inducing-windings of repulsion motors, and consists in providing open slots overhung on one side only, all the slots for each pole of the winding being parallel to one another and overhung on the same side. Fig. 2 shows a portion of a slotted core applicable to a compensated series motor, in which large slots receive the concentrated field coils B, while the compensating winding is arranged in slots c, constructed as described above. As shown, one set of former-wound coils C may be bound together and inserted in the slots without bending. They are then moved into the overhung portions of the slots so as to leave room for a second similar set of coils, the two sets being kept in place by wedges &c.

Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 474. Newton, H. C., and Michell, A. G. M. Aug. 5, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Calculating - apparatus. -Relates to integrating- mechanism in connexion with a check cipher apparatus. A series of rollers A<1> ... A<5> are adjusted, so as to expose numbers and syllables on the rollers through apertures n<1>, n<2>, by a pinion K acting on racks H attached to the rollers, the pinion being slidable under any one of the racks, a bar M locking the remaining racks in the position to which they were brought by the pinion. A combination of "normal" and " reversed syllables are exposed at the windows n<1> by shutters P<1> ... P<5> actuated by circumferentially arranged rods S' ... S<5>, which are moved through varying amounts according to whether they are opposite one of sixteen holes in the "pinion-key" disk U' or those in the "locking- " key" disk U<2>, both these disks turning with the pinion K. The holes in these disks are so arranged that one of the thirty-two possible combinations of, in this case, five "normal" and " reversed " syllables is exposed which corresponds to the sum of the numbers exhibited at the windows n<2> or to the remainder after dividing that sum by 32, so that on decodifying, the correctness of the message transmitted is tested by withdrawing the head k<1> after the syllables have been set, when the shutters should remain undisturbed. A modified form of ''pinion-key" " and "locking-key" is described, in which the rods S' ... S<5> are arranged radially, there being five circles of holes. A modified form of checking-gear has a large shutter-plate having thirty-two differently arranged rows of apertures moved by a rack and a pinion on the spindle k and located by a stop in a position dependent on the number coded.

Title: Improvements in Gas Burners and Electrical Devices for Controlling, Igniting, and Extinguishing the Gas from a Distance.
Filed: 1908-01-21
Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 1453. Down, H. L., and Telephos, Ltd. Jan. 21. Lighting and extinguishing gas; gas burners. - In electric apparatus for lighting and extinguishing gas burners, the armature d, Fig. 9, of an electro-magnet e carries a pivoted pawl c engaging teeth on the rotary gas-valve a and provided with a projection o for acting as a retaining-pawl and with a slot m with which a fixed projection n engages. The valve is held on the seat by a helical spring i, Fig. 8, inserted between a screw-head j at the top of the valve spindle g and a recessed washer h slidably fitting on the spindle g, which is of D-shaped or like cross-section. The armature may be operated mechanically by pulling down the bevelled head s of a rod r against the action of a spring t. The valve mechanism is enclosed in a cap or cover to which the burner is screwed. The conductor rods w, Fig. 3, for conveying the current to the electric igniter pass through holes or recesses in a porcelain or other insulating or choking tube y in the burner tube, and are connected at their lower ends to two ring-pieces 14,15, against which springs connected with the electro-magnet terminals engage, the inner ring 15 being flared at its lower end. The porcelain igniter-carrier x is provided with depending conducting-tubes 3 fitting over the reduced upper ends of the rods w, springs 4 being inserted between the shoulders on the rod w and the tubes 3 to hold the carrier x against the burner head. The tubes 3 are each formed with a central flattened part fitting in a recess in the carrier x, and the igniting-wires are secured in the upper ends of the tubes, preferably by denting or flattening the upper parts of the tubes, or by wedging them in position by inserting wire through an aperture in the lower end of the upper part, the igniting-wires being enclosed in a small perforated metal thimble fitting on the igniter. The conduction of heat from the burner head to other parts of the burner and the controlling-device is minimized by employing a refractory burner head having a bridge 22 for supporting the mantle rod. The hollow nippleregulating device is raised by a transverse screw in opposition to a spring 32, and the insulating-piece 23 carrying the rings 14, 15 is connected to the base 25 of the burner by means of the conductor rods w. Specification No. 26,694, A.D. 1902, is referred to.

IPC: C25D17/22
Filed: 1910-03-03
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 5369. Roman, G. I. March 3. Barrel apparatus; electrodes.-Small articles to be plated are placed in an annular trough built up from a perforated metal plate G and insulating plate and ring sections I, J, K, held together by insulated bolts. In plating jewellery, these sections, and also the bolts, may be of clav or porcelain, and the plate may be. protected by enamel or platinum. The trough is attached to a shaft N which can rest on a bearing C supported by a rubber pad on a conical piece B on the bottom of a vat A; the end of the shaft may be shoed with agate or porcelain. The shaft is insulated from the electrolyte, and conveys current from the plate G and articles. The shaft and trough can be raised by means of a bracket R carrying a step bearing and movable by a screw Z and worm a; a clutch O normally connecting the shaft to a driving-pulley Y is uncoupled by this movement. Stationary anodes V and stirrers U are carried by a sleeve Q in the movable bracket R, and can also be raised independently of the trough by a nut S. The anodes may be two semi - annular plates, between which pass the stirrers; the plates may be bent up in front of the stirrers, to follow the contour of the mass of articles. The stirrers may be either spring arms b, Fig. 2, or rigid plates bent to fit the trough and having helical upper edges so as to turn the articles over. In the latter case, the shaft is preferably driven through a band-brake clutch which allows it.to stop if the stirrers become jammed. The apparatus is applicable to the plating of parts of telephones, hooks, eyes, and screws.
