Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 16,152. Murray, E. T. R. July 6. Switches, quickaction; spring- straining arrangements. - An electric s w i t c h comprises a contact lever 1, which is retained in one extreme position against the action of a weight 6 or a spring by a weighted or spring - controlled detent-lever 7 adapted to be released by the movement, in one direction, of an actuating- member 12, and a catch-bearing lever 14, 15 adapted to be moved by the reverse movement of the actuating-member, the catch-bearing lever being connected to the contact-lever by a spring 13 and carrying a pivoted catch 16, which is adapted to lock the contact-lever in the other extreme position and to retain it while the spring is being strained. In the form shown, the contact-lever 1 is locked in the " on " position by the engagement of a pin 11 with a notch 10 in the lever 7; in the " off " position the pin 11 engages the catch 16. The contact 4 may replace the weight 6, in which case the spring 13 gives a quick make, or the contactlever may carry contacts at each end. The invention is specially applicable for use with the apparatus described in Specification 26,947/09.

Patent GB-191026790-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Presses for Moulding Briquettes and the like.
Inventor: DEBAUCHE HUBERT JOSEPH
IPC: B30B11/02
Filed: 1910-11-17
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 26,790. Debauche, H. J. Nov. 17. Hopper and plunger machines.-Relates to a press for compressing moist paste, such as' that obtained with wet coal, into briquettes. The material flows by gravitation from a hopper through a passage D to a mould M closed at one end by an hydraulic piston L, and at the other by a reciprocating plunger F. In order to increase the angle described by the driving- cranks during the compression period of the stroke, the plunger F is operated through a beam lever H' and connecting-rods K, G, the connecting-rod K being preferably of small length, and in tension while compression is taking place. The piston L works in an hydraulic cylinder N, which is in communication through an intermittently-operated valve P with a tank R containing water and compressed air or steam, or water in communication with an accumulator of small pressure. An adjustable escape valve o allows the piston to yield when the pressure in the mould becomes excessive. When the pressure is again relaxed, the piston is returned to its former position by a spring U acting on an extension T on the piston; this position can be regulated by means of nuts V. As the plunger F returns after compressing the material, the mould M is reciprocated by a connecting-rod f moving slowly at first, then much quicker so that the briquette strikes the plunger and is ejected from the mould, and finally is returned to its initial position ready for the formation of a fresh briquette. The mould M is drawn back by a crank Y on the main shaft S acting through a connecting-rod z, crank a, shaft b, lever c, e, and connecting-rods f, and is returned by a piston j which works in a compressed-air or like cylinder k, and is connected to a crank h on the shaft g carrying the levers e.

Patent GB-191029168-A (GB)
Title: Electric Transmission of Power by Polyphase Currents.
IPC: H02P27/04
Filed: 1910-12-15
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 29,168. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Dec. 15. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power.-Relates to a system of electric power transmission in which currents of varying frequencies and voltages are supplied to an asynchronous motor from a rotary-field induction generator regulated by adjusting the relative magnitude of, and phase difference between, the rotor and stator voltages, for example, as described in Specification 28,081/10. According to the first part of the invention, the rotary-field generator g, Fig. 3, has its stator and rotor circuits connected through a frequency-regulating-transformer t; and the asynchronous motor m is fed at low speeds of the motor from the generator slip-rings s and at high speeds from the stator, the change-over being effected by contacts z. The generator g may be either self- or separately-excited, and, instead of the commutator being directly connected to the rotor, a separate frequency converter may be employed, as described in the above-mentioned Specification. According to the second part of the invention, the field of the generator is kept stable and the frequency is maintained constant, independently of the load currents, by causing an exchange of voltage to take place in opposite directions between the stator and rotor circuits by means of a series transformer s, Fig. 4, the phase of the field in which is in quadrature with that of the load currents. For example, there may be a phasedisplacement between the stator and rotor currents produced by a brush-displacement etc.; or combined star and mesh windings may be used on the transformer s, as described in Specification 5119/10, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.]; or the transformer s may be an induction regulator. The frequency may be caused to decrease with the load, for example when the motor m acts as a buffer machine. This compounding system may be applied to rotary-field generators used in conjunction with frequency converters.
