Abstract: 29,101. Wirtz, L. Dec. 17. Variable - speed epicyclic gearing comprises countershafts 3 carried by a revoluble cage or casing 1, within a revoluble part 12, which forms a casing which may be the hub of a motor-cycle wheel, as described in Specification 22,172/12, and comprises also countershafts 2 for reversed driving. When the gearing is transmitting power, the cage 1 is held against rotation by applying a brake to a drum 29 to which the cage 1 is connected. A hollow driving - shaft 11, which turns loosely on a fixed spindle 14, is secured to a gear which drives gears 10, 7 turning together on the shafts 3. Gears 4 on the shafts 2 connect the gears 7 with a loose central gear 5, while other loose central gears 8, 9 mesh directly with the gears 10, 7. A slotted sleeve 16 secured to the hub 12 has a clutch member 17 in sliding connexion with it. The member 17 is adapted to engage clutch teeth 25 on the shaft 11 for direct driving, or clutch teeth 19 on the gears 8, 9, 5 for reduced forward speeds and reversed driving respectively. In changing speed, the drum 29 is released. The drum 29 may be used to facilitate engagement on the highest speed by providing additional countershaft and loose central gears of suitable sizes, with or without the clutch teeth on the driving-shaft. In a modification in which the outer casing may be the fly-wheel upon a motor-car, a double friction clutch in sliding connexion with the inner casing is adapted to engage alternatively with the outer casing and the brake drum.

Title: Improvements in Protective Apparatus for Dynamo-electric Generators.
Inventor: TALLENT-BATEMAN WILLIAM TUXFOR
IPC: H02H7/06
Filed: 1915-02-02
Granted: 1915-11-18
Abstract: 1671. Bateman, W. T. Tallent-. Feb. 2. Protective arrangements.-Relates to arrangements for protecting dynamos by automatic disconnexion in case of overload or other disturbance, wherein the automatic opening of the circuit-breaker is arranged to reduce the generator-field strength by means of a trip-coil device, .the arrangement being inoperative if the circuit-breaker is opened otherwise than automatically. According to the invention, a switch for effecting manual opening of the circuitbreaker mechanically opens the circuit of the trip coil, thus preventing the reduction of the generator-field strength. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the invention is applied to a generator having a separate shunt - wound exciter. The generator 1 is disconnected from mains 2, 3, 4 by a circuit-breaker 5 provided with an opening-coil 10 and a closing-coil 9. In case of disturbance, an overload relay 13 energizes the coil 10, thus disconnecting the generator from the mains, and also energizes a parallel-connected coil 15 adapted to release a change-over switch 17 normally short-circuiting a resistance 19 across the terminals of the exciter field 8. The effect of the change-over on to the contact 18 is to make a dead short circuit for the exciter field and a short circuit through the resistance 19 for the exciter armature 7 and the generator field 6. A doublethrow hand-switch 22, 23 controls the closing and non-automatic opening of the circuitbreaker 5, in both cases temporarily opening a switch 24 in the circuit of the coil 15 and thus rendering the field-reducing arrangement inoperative. In a modification, the change-over field-reducing switch is arranged to disconnect the generator field from the exciter armature and to connect it to a discharging resistance.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electromagnetic Switches.
IPC: H01H50/64
Filed: 1915-03-30
Abstract: 4911. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co]. March 30. Electro-magnetic switches.-In electro-magnetic switches of the "lock out" type, an armature 16, Fig. 3, carrying the moving contact 17, is pivoted on a movable member 23 subject to the pressure of a spring 31. When the magnet 10 is excited by a current above the closing limit, the resulting movement strains the spring and carries the armature to a position where the lower edge of its face 16<1> bears against a pole-face of the magnet, as shown in Fig. 4, thus forming a fixed fulcrum about which the armature tends to turn. The lower arm of the armature is held on to the lockout pole 12 of the magnet 10 until the current falls to the closing limit, whereupon the action of the spring, together with the magnetic force at the upper pole face, assisted by that at the auxiliary closing-gap 29, overcomes the lock.out force and closes the switch, as shown in Fig. 5. Specifications 11,350/11 and 23,544/14 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Steam Turbines for Ships.
Inventor: BELLUZZO GIUSEPPE
IPC: F01D15/04
Filed: 1915-04-21
Abstract: 6010. Belluzzo, G. April 21. Reversing.-In a reversible marine turbine installation comprising both disk and drum axial-flow stages and a low-pressure radial-flow stage for astern working only, the blades of the first disk a (or the first two disks) have oppositely curved faces, so that one half of the blade is used for forward running and the other half for reverse running. In forward working, steam from an inlet A acts on the stage a and passes by a valve V to a chamber C supplying the stages b ... f. In reverse working, steam from an inlet, I, Fig. 2, enters the stage a and is discharged through a valve w to a pipe i leading to a chamber B arranged in the main outlet S and feeding a radial outward-flow stage g. Where two or more disks a adapted to run both forwards and backwards are employed, they are arranged in successive valve-controlled chambers, and for reverse running, steam enters the last of such disks first and flows through the disks in series to the first disk, before being conducted to the radial-flow wheel. In a modification, the disk or disks with the double blades are mounted on the drum carrying the blades of the total admission stages. In a further modification, a radial inward-flow low-pressure stage is used for astern working and arranged centrally between the two low-pressure stages used for ahead working.
