Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Generating Electrical Energy.
Inventor: MASON CHARLES THOMAS
IPC: H02K21/38
Filed: 1914-01-03
Granted: 1915-02-03
Abstract: 174. Mason, C. T. Jan. 3. Magnetos, driving; inductor - alternators. - In a magneto ignition machine in which the plane of the U-shaped magnet is parallel to the rotor shaft and in which the generating-windings are carried by a normally stationary member having poles partly surrounding the rotors, as described in Specification 29,655/13, the voltage may be induced by moving the normally'stationary member and windings relatively to the inductor independently of rotation of the inductor. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the field structure 1 and generating-coils may be pulled with regard to the magnets 7 and inductor 5 by means of a lever 12 against the action of a spring 9 so as to be looked in the position shown in full lines by the engagement of a pin 14 with a dog 13. When the dog is released, for instance by means of a rod 15 terminating on the dash-board 18 of a motor-vehicle, the field structure is allowed to assume the position shown in dotted lines and give the spark for starting the engine. The shaft of the inductor has a cam 17 adapted to release the dog, so that the spark may alternatively be produced by cranking the motor in the usual way. In a machine, Fig. 2; adapted for adjustable ignition by means of a rod 24, an arm is rotatably mounted on a shoulder 23 on the field structure 1 and is attached to a spring- pressed operating-rod 21. The rod 20 is normally in the position shown in dotted lines, the spring 19 not being compressed. When the spring is compressed by engaging the shoulder 25 against a stop, as shown, the pressure of the lever 22 against the pin 26 does not move the field structure, as this is locked by a pin 27 and pawl 28. For firing, a rod 29 is pressed to release the pawl and allow the spring 19 to throw over the field structure. The pawl may alternatively be depressed by cranking, by means of a cam 30 on the inductor shaft. Repeated firing may be effected by successive operation of the rods 20, 29. In place of being actuated by a spring or its equivalent, the field structure may be oscillated by hand.

Granted: 1915-07-29
Abstract: 2286. Ges. fur Verwertung Chemischer Produkte. Jan. 29, 1913, [Convention date]. Liquids, purifying.-Naturally occurring baseexchanging substances, such as trachyte tuffs, which may have been concentrated by a mechanical separation from other bodies or may have acquired base-exchanging properties by a suitable treatment, are treated with dilute hydrochloric acid, which dissolves out impurities and some bases and leaves the material porous ; the required base is then introduced, for instance by treating with a dilute solution of sodium chloride. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that, if the product is to be used for removing iron and manganese from water, a calcium salt may be used instead of sodium chloride, manganese also being introduced if necessary by treating with a manganese salt and then with permanganate. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Shuttles. - In a shuttle of the kind described in Specification 4788/11, the weftretaining pin crossing one of the threading- slots is dispensed with, and the threading-slots and the weft tunnel are specially arranged to prevent unthreading due to ballooning. Two straight vertical slots D, E, Fig. 1, connected by a curved slot F cut at an angle, as shown in Fig. 3, enable the weft to be passed round a projection A to a pin J, which presents a loop of weft through the shuttle eye and forms one end of the eye, another pin forming the other end, and a third pin being used to prevent wear of the shuttle at the weft groove. The weft tunnel B, Fig. 3, is'bored in line with the cop spindle and preferably in an inclined direction, as shown, and a slot C communicating with the lower end of the slot D is preferably inclined in the opposite direction so as to enter the tunnel diagonally. The end a of the projection A is cut at an incline to the slot D to guide a ballooning weft away therefrom, and a peg G may guard the entrance to the slot D. In its passage from the cop to the eye, the weft passes round the usual post pin M.

Abstract: 5695. Haddan, R., [Belanger Spinning Process Co.]. April 15. Spindle apparatus; lifting-rails.-Machines of the kind described in Specification 18335/14 are provided with an adjustable drag or tension arrangement for the thread as it passes over the cap to the spindle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the lower part of the cap b is wider than the upper part and the latter carries a loose ring d of vlucanized fibre, wood, metal, hard rubber, &c., which may have one or more eyelets for the thread, and has an internal diameter greater than the diameter of the cap on which it runs. The internal diameter of the ring may be made greater or less by the insertion of a split ring d<10>, Fig. 4, of suitable size. The lower part of the cap bears against and rotates a resilient drum e' on the axle e, which also carries a second resilient drum e<2> and a star-wheel e<4>. When the spindle rotates, the ring d tends to set itself concentrically with it and bears against the resilient drum e<2> and is thereby dragged. The course of the thread is indicated by dotted lines; it passes between the teeth of the star-wheel e<4>, which serves to support the cap, through the eyelet of the ring d, and round the lower edge of the cap to the spindle. The traverse rail f is mounted to slide approximately vertically against an adjustable guide g and so that it can move towards and from the spindle against the action of a spring f<4>, while the pressure of the surface e<2> upon the ring d may be regulated by means of a screw f<2>, the regulation of which has the effect of moving the traverse rail f nearer to or farther from the guide g. The outer portion of the ring d may rest upon the shoulder between the two bearing-surfaces e<1>, e<2>, and so serve to support the cap, and the bearing surfaces may be formed of spring metal covered with textile material, felt, etc.; or the ring may be bent downwards so as to enclose the lower portion of the cap and project below it, thus being partially supported by the yarn; or it may be provided with vanes which are carried round by the yarn against the resistance of the air.
