Title: Improvements in or relating to Electrical Transformers.
Inventor: BERRY ARTHUR FRANCIS
IPC: H01F27/245
Filed: 1910-05-19
Granted: 1911-08-21
Abstract: 12,355. Berry, A. F. May 19. Transformers. - R elates to transformers of the kind wherein the windings k surround a central core a of stampings so cut individually that the angular extremities c occupy positions which are in alinem e n t considering the axis of the transformer. and inclined in opposite directions, the return circuit being formed by laminae d having correspondingly-inclined extremities e, so that, when clamped to the inner core, the inclined surfaces of the laminae meet with a wedging action. According to this invention, the angle to which the ends of the central core laminae are cut is less than the angle of friction between such ends and the ends of the companion laminae of the return circuit. The invention may be applied to several forms of cores, and the abutting surfaces of the core may be inclined to a less extent than those of the return circuit, or vice versa. The inner core may be of such length as to expand appreciably when heated, so as to secure close contact, and the external circuit may be of greater section or with greater cooling-surface than the inner core. The windings may be insulated from the core by a fabric wrapper, as shown in Fig. 8, having flaps t which are folded back against the inner overlapping surfaces of the ends of the core. Scrap mica may be inserted where desired.
Patent GB-191020129-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Ammunition Hoisting and Breech Actuating Apparatus of Heavy Guns.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A9/50
Filed: 1910-08-29
Granted: 1911-10-30
Abstract: 20,129. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. Aug. 29. Loading - appliances. - Relates to hydraulic ammunition hoists and breech mechanism, for example, of the kind described in Specification 8305/09, and consists in an arrangement of valves and safety devices which prevent the raising of the hoist cage from its position in the working chamber while the breech is closed or the gun not fully run-out, and which also prevent the closing of the breech while the cage is raised and the loading-tray is in the loading position in the gun-breech. An " intercepting- " valve" D<Î>, shown in section in Fig. 3, is placed in the pressure pipe d of the hand-controlled valve C<Î> of the hoist press C<1>. A pipe e connects the valve D<Î> with a " cut-off valve " EX, mounted on the loading-arm B' of the gun, the spindle of which valve is actuated by a cam on the hinge-pin of the swinging breech-screw carrier. When the breech is fully opened, the cam operates the valve E<Î> and connects the pipe e to the exhaust pipe e<4>. The pressure on the underside of the valve D<Î> then raises the valve and allows pressure to pass to the valve C<Î>. As the hoist-cage C reaches the loading position, it raises the loading-tray b<Î>, in the usual manner, into the breech, and thereby liberates a spring-actuated system of levers and links b<1>, b<3>, b<5>, which push forward a bolt b into the path of the hand-lever B of the breech-operating motor. The breech cannot now be closed until the cage is lowered, and the loading-tray b<Î> rocks the lever b<3>, b<5> and withdraws the bolt b. When the breech is closed, the fluid pressure in the valve EX operates the valve and connects the pipe e to the pressure pipe c<3>, so that the valve D<Î> is operated and cuts off the pressure in the pipe d, thus preventing the raising of the hoist cage. If the gun fails to run out completely, the spindle of the valve E<Î> cannot be engaged by the cam on the carrier hinge-pin; the pipe e therefore remains open to pressure, and the valve D<Î> consequently remains closed. In a modification, the valve D<Î> and the throttle-valve c<Î> of the press C<1> are combined in one casing, but the apparatus is otherwise the same.
