Title: Improvements in Hoisting Systems
Filed: 1904-05-18
Granted: 1905-03-30
Abstract: 11,445. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 18. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power ; dynamos, regulating.-To protect motordriven winches, used in hoisting-gears for raising ships' anchors and the like, from injury when the hoisting-motor is stopped or stalled owing to overload, and also to run the hoisting-drum at speeds varying with the load, the current is supplied by a generator 3, Fig. 1, driven by a prime mover 4, of less capacity than the generator or motor. When the load on the hoisting-motor 2 becomes greater than the capacity of the prime mover, the latter slackens speed and reduces the voltage supplied by the generator, which in turn reduces the speed of the motor and the winding-gear. This action continues as the load increases, until the motor is stalled by a load which is well within its safe capacity. In a modified form, shown in Fig. 3, an engine of large capacity has its throttle valve, which is normally held open by a spring 17, connected to a solenoid 16, placed in the series circuit of the compound generator 10. As the load increases, the increased current furnished by the generator operates the solenoid core, which closes the throttle valve slightly against the action of the spring and reduces the power of the engine. The field in the shunt circuit of the generator here shown may be varied by a rheostat 15.

Patent GB-190415465-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hoisting and similar Apparatus.
Filed: 1904-07-11
Granted: 1905-05-11
Abstract: 15,465. British Thomson - Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. July 11. Motors, controlling.-Motor - actuated hoisting- apparatus is provided with means for automatically stopping the hoisting operation when the load has reached a predetermined height, and also with means, controlled by the operator, for regulating the descent of loads. In Fig. 1, the winding-drum 5 is shown mounted on a hollow shaft having a keyway which engages a projection on the nut 13 working on the screwed part of the shaft 10. The rotation of the hoisting-drum is started by pulling the cord 1, Fig. 2, and thus rotating the controller 2, Fig. 1, to close the motor circuit. The rotation of the drum causes the nut 13 to approach the fixed nut 16 until the projections on each engage one another and cause the screw to rotate, thereby rotating the cam 6, Figs. 1 and 2. This cam then operates the spring-controlled lever 7, and causes the controller lever 9 to be moved to the 'off ' position. The screw and cam are both held in the normal position by springs. A method of adjusting the distance of the movable nut from the fixed one is described, and, in a modified form, the drum shaft is made solid and carries the screw and nuts on an extension which is carried in a tube secured to the cam. For lowering loads, the rope 25 is pulled, thereby operating the controller to the "reverse" position, and at the same time extending the helical spring 30 through the medium of the projection 28 and the removable pin 32 fastened in the framing. This spring stops the lowering operation on releasing the rope 25, and by suitably altering the position of the pin 32 can be made also to stop the hoisting operation, if desired, on release of the rope 1.

Title: An Improved Closure for Bottles.
Inventor: MARKS GEORGE CROYDON
Filed: 1904-10-05
Granted: 1904-11-10
Abstract: 21,326. Marks, G. C., [Crown Cork and Seal Co.]. Oct. 5. Stoppers; capsules, bottle.-The bottle neck is formed with an exterior bead or shoulder 1, Fig. 1, and an interior groove 2 to form a hermetic joint both interiorly and exteriorly with a closure, which, as shown, may combine the structural features of a " Crown " cap and a hollow cupshaped plug (of the type known as the " Aluminium "), the flange of the cap being bent under the shoulder 1, while the plug is expanded into the groove 2 in the throat of the bottle. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the cap B and plug C are made integral, and one or more packing-washers are or may be employed to make a tight joint with the neck. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the parts B<1>, C' are separate, the central part of the cap being cut out to receive the plug. In expanding the plug C', the washer 3 is spread upwardly against the lower face of the washer 4, while in applying the cap, the downward pressure compresses the washer 4, tending to force it tightly against the inner wall of the plug C<1>. In the form shown in Fig. 4, two separate closures B", C<11>, of the "Crown" and "Aluminium" types respectively, with packing-washers 5, d, are employed. In this form, the washer 5 is forced or embedded into the space around the edge of the plug C", and so prevents leakage at this part, while the air enclosed in the chamber 7, formed by the plug and the washer 5, is compressed, and, expanding with any expansion of the gaseous contents of the bottle due to heat, resists, internal pressure. The closures are intended to prevent leakage from bottles containing liquids which generate or evolve gases or vapours, when subjected to the heat of warm climates &c. ; the mouth of the bottle is also bound by the metal of the closures.
