Patent GB-190610467-A (GB)
Title: An Automatic Switch for Preventing Excessive Current in Electric Motors, and Circuits in which a Variable Electric Current Flows.
Inventor: STEWART ANDREW
Filed: 1906-05-04
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 10,467. Stewart, A. May 4. Regulating ; switches. - To prevent overload in electric circuits where the current is liable to vary, as in the case of electric motors driving drills or other tools, a protective resistance is automatically switched in by a solenoid or the like. One form of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 1. The motor M is in series with the solenoid A, which with an excessive current throws over a switch arm C from the upper to the lower of the terminals F, and puts a resistance R into circuit. The movement is opposed by an adjustable spring D, by which the maximum current can be varied. The brush of the switch arm may be of carbon or metal, and is pressed upon by a flat spring k. In slightly modified forms, one or more spring brushes are carried at the end of the solenoid core and move longitudinally, while the core is provided with an adjustable spring cushion. Single or double.pole electro-magnets may replace the solenoids.

Granted: 1907-04-18
Abstract: 28,134. John, H. Dec. 10. Shearing.-A machine for shearing angle and tee bars has two slides 2, 3, each at an angle of fortyfive degrees, carrying blades 4. for cutting tees, a lower blade 5 is also carried by the slide. These blades coact with a long vertical cutter 6 and an horizontal cutter 8 ; in cutting angles, the cutter 6 is placed horizontally and a cutter 7 vertically.

Title: Improvements in or connected with the Kiers used for Boiling, Bleaching, and otherwise Treating Textile Materials.
Inventor: HUNT EDWARD WILSON
Filed: 1907-10-16
Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 22,788. Hunt, E. W., and Moscrop, W., [trading as Hunt & Moscrop]. Oct. 16. Bleaching ; washing.-In kiers for boiling, bleaching, or otherwise treating textile materials, a continuous circulation of the treating-liquor is obtained by the use of a rising-pipe leading from a heater placed either outside the kier or below its perforated bottom, and by governing the flow of liquor with one or more back-pressure valves. The device is applicable either to closed or high-pressure kiers or to open kiers. Fig. 1 shows a highpressure kier with the circulating-apparatus placed outside. The circulating liquid passes from the kier a through a pipe d and a non-return valve f into the heater b, containing steam-heated tubes e, wherein it boils. It then passes through the rising- pipe c to the top of the kier, and is sprayed upon the goods by a spreader &c. as usual. The seating g of the valve f is preferably made slightly inclined, so that when the valve is hanging vertically a small passage is left for the liquor to pass into the beater, although the valve will close fully against any back-pressure. In consequence, the liquor always circulates in the one direction only.

Filed: 1907-11-16
Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 25,410. Dargue, W., Dargue, A. M., and Dargue, S. Nov. 16. Variable - speed gearing.-In a variable-speed gear of the class in which a number of variably-o s c ill ate d gear-wheels impart motion in succession in one direction to a centrally-arranged gearwheel, the driving-shaft 1, Fig. 1, is in line with the driven shaft 4, which carries the central gear 6 constantly in mesh with pinions 7 which are connected through ratchet clutches to their spindles 9, carried by a fixed frame 11. The ends of the spindles 9 are secured to arms 20, Fig. 4, which carry rollers 21 kept pressed by springs 22 &c. against a cam 24 sliding on a feather on the shaft 1. The cam 24 is cylindrical at one end 24<1>, Fig. 1, and has two grooves tapering from there, leaving two tapered cams 24<2>. As the cam 24 is moved longitudinally, a varying oscillating motion is imparted to the spindles 9, and a varying continuous drive communicated to the gear 6. In a modification, shown in Fig. 9, the ratchet clutches are arranged between the arms 20 and the spindles 9. A suitable clutch is shown in Fig. 7. The inside surfaces of the gears 7 &c. are cut away to form openings 15 to receive blocks 16 connected by toggles 17 and springs 19 to collars 18 secured to the spindles 9. The gripping-surfaces of the blocks 16 may be corrugated as shown in Fig. 9. In a modified form of clutch, the blocks &c. 16, Fig. 12, extend right round end-to-end, supported internally by a boss &c. 8. The toggles 17 enter between the ends of the blocks 16 with a wedging action. The cam 24 may be operated to vary the gear by a rack and pinion, or, as shown in Fig. 1, by screw-and-nut mechanism 35 actuated by worm gearing 32.

Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 4404. Macdonald, A., and Macdonald, J. Feb. 27. Winches.-Comprises a construction of powerdriven portable winch for hauling lines and nets on fishing-vessels. The winch frame c provided with a socket i swivels on a vertical stud j.carried in a bracket k fixed to the gunwale of the boat. On one side, the frame c carries two spindles a', b<1> on which revolve drums a, b. On the other side, the frame c carries a small steam-engine, the shaft e of which drives the drum a by means of a pinion g' engaging teeth formed on the inside of one rim of the drum a, which drives the drum b through teeth formed on the outsides of both drums. The line is passed over the pulley a and under the pulley b, a man hauling in the s!ack as in hand machines. In a modified construction, instead of a vertical socket i, the frame has two inclined sockets. A hand-lever l and spring washer m are fitted at the top of the stud j. Fig. 6 shows the bracket k fitted with a leg extension o, which is secured to a slotted bracket p bolted to the side of the boat. To fix the machine, the leg o is secured to the bracket p and the machine is lifted and dropped into position, a short pin v fitting into a hole in the top rail of the gunwale, the machine being secured by a bolt x passing through the flange k<2> of the bracket and through the rail. To remove the machine in rough weather, it is only necessary to take out the bolt x and to lift it up a little to disengage the bolt v, whereupon the machine may be laid on the deck, being still secured by the bolt y. The steam and exhaust pipes are of flexible material. Compressed air may be used instead of steam. According to the Provisional Specification, an electric motor may be used.

Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 5511. Oxhydrique Internationale Soc. Anon. March 13, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Blowpipe burners; burners, regulating and controlling.-An apparatus for mixing the gases used for feeding oxy-hydrogen or oxy-acetylene burners, is provided with a regulating and feed device which comprises separate valves for controlling the proportions of each constituent, and valves which are actuated from a common hand-lever and cam shaft and are adapted to cut off the supply of one or both constituents as desired. The device described is adapted to supply oxygen and hydrogen to a mixing-coil (not shown) immersed in water in a chamber 1, by means of two sets of pipes 6, which are provided with screw-down valves 10 for controlling the supply of each gas and with heads 5 surrounding gas passages 2, 3 leading to the mixing-coil. The cut-off valves consist of disks 27 of rubber, fibre, ebonite, &c. located in chambers 25 and controlling communication between adjacent portions 26, 37 of the supply pipes. The disks are enclosed in sockets 28 supported by elastic plugs 30, which normally tend to keep the valves from their seats. The valves are forced to their seats by spring plungers 32 operated by cams 42, 43 on a cam shaft 40 supported by pillars 39 bolted to the covers 31 of the chambers 25. The arrangement of the cams provides that both gas passages are open, the hydrogen passage only is open, or both passages are closed, according as the hand lever actuating the cams occupies the position 44, Fig: 1, 45, or 46, Fig. 2, respectively. The mixed gases may be employed for the heating-flame of an apparatus for cutting metals by fusion; in this case, the oxygen-supply pipe 6 is provided with a T-pipe 18 and union 15, so that the cutting- stream of oxygen, and the oxygen employed for mixing may be supplied from a reservoir provided with a single pressure-reducing device.
