Abstract: 19,522. Schuetz, F. A. Aug. 25. W i c k burners, solid - flame. - Relates to burners of the kind described in Specifications 28,904/06, and 7089/09. T h e upper end of the wick - tube 10 is provided with a cup formed of flaring wings 11, 12, which are flanked by flanges 13, 14, shaped as shown. The cap 17 surrounding the wick-tube has a dome 18 mounted above it, which fits snugly around the superstructure carried by the burner, and is looped to form bays 19. These bays act as ports opening into the space between the flanges 13, 14, and the inflow of air flattens the flame. A perforated skirt 21 depends from the base of the dome. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, the wick-tube 10 is surmounted by a cup 22 having lateral induction ports 23 at the bottom, and oppositely-disposed V-shaped apertures cut in the walls. The dome 25 is hinged and unperforated, but is provided at its base with air-ports 28 of considerable size.

Title: Piano-player Attachment for Pianofortes.
Inventor: CORNFORD WINIFRED AGNES

Granted: 1910-09-15
Abstract: 21,494. Cornford, W. A. Sept. 21. Piano - players; actions; expression, controlling ; tracker-bars ; winding-mechanism.- The playing-mechanism is mounted in a casing adapted to be hinged to the pianoforte in place of the usual key-cover. The expression is controlled by means of springs of variable tension which act upon the strikers. The winding- mechanism is contained in a case which is placed above the key-cover. In Fig. 2, which illustrates an electric action, the electro-magnets are arranged in two rows c, c<1> and act upon armatures e which are connected by links f to bell-crank levers, upon the arms g<2> of which the strikers h are mounted. The strikers hare connected by springs i to a plate j which is mounted on pins l carried by the disks k. By rotating these disks through a worm n<1> and worm-wheel n, the tension of the springs i is adjusted. Fig. 3 shows an electro-pneumatic action. When an electro-magnet c or c' is energized, the attraction of its armature e causes a slide valve s to connect a cylinder p to a wind-chest u through the ports t. The piston h<2> is then forced down against the action of the spring r, causing a note to be sounded. The valve s is returned to its normal position by the action of a spring v, and the port t' then connects the cylinder p to atmosphere. The expression is controlled by varying the pressure in the wind-chest u. The winding- mechanism and contact-device, which are shown in Fig. 4, are adapted to be placed above the key-cover, the contact-fingers z entering sockets a' which are in electrical connexion with the electro-magnets c, c<1>. The winding-rolls w, w<1> are mounted in a frame w<2>, which is pivoted at w<21>, and are adapted to be driven from an electric motor x<1> through worms w<5>, w<6> and worm-wheels w<3>, w<4>. To rewind the tune-sheet, the frame w<2> is depressed to disengage the worm-wheel w<4> from the worm w<6> and to cause the worm-wheel w<3> to gear with the worm w<5>. At the same time the roller y, which is carried by a lever y<1> pivoted at y<2>, is raised, so breaking the circuits of all the electro-magnets.

Title: Improvements in Influence Machines.
Inventor: HARRISON GEORGE
IPC: H02N1/06
Filed: 1909-11-01
Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 25,106. Harrison, G., [Baker, B. E.]. Nov. 1. Influence machines.-A machine of the TÙpler- Holtz or other type is regulated without varying the speed of the machine by means, such as one or more adjustable arms, for depleting the field or fields to any desired extent. The regulating- arm 12 is mounted on a shaft 10, which can be turned by the handle 11, and the arm is connected with the collecting-combs cc. The depletion of the field depends on the position of the arm 12 with respect to the field comb fc. Two regulators may be provided, one at each side of the machine. In a modification, the regulating-arm is connected to the neutralizing-comb nc, or to the field comb fc, and is adjustable towards or away from the other ; or regulation can be effected by connecting the neutralizing-combs with the collecting-combs either directly or through an adjustable spark-gap.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electrical Apparatus for Supplying to a Line Circuit a Direct Current which Periodically Flows in Opposite Directions.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: H04M15/12
Filed: 1910-01-12
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 849. Boult, A. J., [International Telechronometer Co.]. Jan. 12. Systems depending on the use of auxiliary machines; direct current flowing periodically in opposite directions.- For the purpose of obtaining a direct current which periodically flows in opposite directions, two generators are connected in series and arranged to be alternately excited in such a manner that they generate electro-motive forces in opposite directions. The arrangement is specially applicable to the operation of metering-devices upon telephone systems. Two generators A, M and the exciter G are mounted upon the same shaft and driven continuously. The fields A', M' of the generators are under the control of an electromagnet H, which is alternately connected to and disconnected from a battery by means of a clock. In the position shown, the armature g of the magnet H completes the circuit of the exciter G through the field winding A<1> of the generator A; but, when the magnet H is excited, the exciter circuit is completed through the field winding M<1> of the generator M. When the generator A is operative, it charges the battery B through an electrolytic cell B<1> and also supplies current in one direction to the winding of the metering-device N of the called subscriber. When the generator M is operative, it charges the battery X through the electrolytic cell X', and also supplies current in the opposite direction to the winding of the metering-device N. Thus, at every reversal of current due to the operation of the magnet H, the metering- device N is operated. When it is desired to cause the " calling " subscriber's meter to register, the connexion l<2> is made. The arrangement of secondary batteries B, X eliminates line disturbances due to the commutator action of the dynamos; and the batteries may be used to operate a part of the central office telephone apparatus.

Granted: 1911-04-28
Abstract: 8440. Pollard, E. T. April 7. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to an automatic-feed weigher having duplicate weighing and feeding devices, each consisting of a pair of pans 6 adapted for presentation alternately beneath a pair of major and dribble feed-gates 21, 22. The invention comprises mechanism for operating the feed-gates. Each scale beam 1 carries depending arms 3 forming a bearing for an axle 5 on which the pans 6 are mounted. A disk 7 with two notches 8, Fig. 3, is connected to the axle by a spring 12, and is, during the weighing, engaged by a catch 9, thus holding the pans in the position shown. The feed-gates 21, 22, as shown on the right-hand side of Fig. 1, are held in the open position by means of two triggers 25, 26, which are released one after the other by the action of an arm 27 on the beam. The triggers are held down by a pivoted spring 33 connected to a rod 34 resting on the beam, but the spring is removed by the sinking of the beam before the triggers are released. When the major feed-gate 21 closes, a pivoted latch swings over the beam and prevents the beam from bouncing. After the final cut-off; the beam remains in equilibrium until a cam on a rotating shaft 19 allows a. rod 17 to fall, whereupon a cone 16 on the rod moves a pivoted bar 14, which in turn releases the catch 9 and allows the filled pan to swing round and discharge its contents. : A spring, acting on the rod 17, raises the cone 16 sufficiently to allow the catch 9 to retain the second pan in the uppermost position. A pivoted arm 39 has meanwhile been raised by a cam 44 into a position corresponding to that shown on the left of Fig. 1, but is now released and falls into the position shown on the right of Fig. 1, a projection 41 on the arm striking' two plates 42, 43, and opening the feed-gates.
