Granted: 1900-04-21
Abstract: 4122. K³hlstein, E., and Vollmer, J. March 3. Gas and like engines, igniting in. In multicylinder engines, one switch is employed to complete the secondary circuit of an induction coil to each cylinder in turn. Fig. 4 shows the invention applied to a two-cylinder engine. One end of the coil K is in contact with the mass of the motor, and the other end communicates with a metal tongue D on the lever G, and tongues E and F on the lever G are connected to sparking terminals Z<1>, Z<2> in the respective cylinders. The tongues D, E and D, F are alternately connected by a segment of a metal ring c carried on a rotating insulating-disc A, while at the intermediate periods, during which no sparking is to occur, short-circuiting is produced by contact between D and a plate B attached to the disc A and in contact with the motor. The lever G can be adjusted by a rod R to time the ignition.

Title: Improvements relating to Hydraulic Motors.
Inventor: GELLY JOSEPH CHARLES
Filed: 1901-01-24
Granted: 1901-03-16
Abstract: 1673. Gelly, J. C. June 27, A.D. 1900, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Hydraulic machines and apparatus; waterpressure engines.-Relates to a reciprocating hydraulic motor operating automatically without distributing- mechanism. Fig. 1 shows the motor arranged in a vertical position, but it may be arranged in an inclined or horizontal position. A cylinder a is placed with i t s open end beneath the level of the water in a reservoir b fed from a river or other source. The cylinder is connected at the bottom to a pipe d terminating in a discharge reservoir e. A rod f working in guides g, h has a conical plunger or piston i mounted thereon, a spring being interposed between the guide h and an elastic buffer k on the rod. In the position shown in Fig. 1, water passes at the side of the piston into the pipe d, until the pipe is charged and acts as a siphon. The velocity of the water becomes sufficiently great to force down the plunger, and thereby close the entrance to the pipe d. The water in the pipe continues to descend with decreasing velocity, and creates a vacuum in the pipe. When the water comes to rest, the pressure of the atmosphere, acting on the surface of the water in the reservoir e, forces the water back up the pipe, and causes the plunger to ascend, the movement of the plunger being assisted by the spring j, after which the cycle is repeated. The apparatus may be stopped by closing the admission aperture to the reservoir b, or by arranging a cock on the pipe d. The reciprocating motion of the rod f may be utilized for driving machinery, and, if the machinery is provided with a flywheel, the spring j may be dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in Electric Alternate Current Motors.
Inventor: THOMPSON SILVANUS PHILLIPS
Filed: 1901-04-12
Granted: 1902-04-10
Abstract: 7553. Thompson, S. P. April 12. Motors, alternating-current, controlling.-Alternating-current induction motors, of the three-phase, two-phase, or single-phase type, are so constructed that they may be regulated and started without the use of sliding connections or contacts. The motor is provided with three separate sets of circuits, viz., stationary primary circuits, revolving secondary circuits, and stationary tertiary circuits, and the starting-resistances are introduced into the tertiary circuits. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the primary windings A, B, C and the tertiary windings X, Y, Z are carried by two coaxial stators S<1> and S<2> placed side by side, while the secondary windings P, Q, R, &c. are carried by a rotor composed of two core-bodies. In another form, the primary and tertiary windings occupy alternately-spaced sectors of a single stator, the rotor having a single core-body, wound preferably with a number of zig-zag re-entrant circuits. According to another arrangement, one stator is placed outside and one inside the rotor. In the case of single-phase motors, the tertiary windings serve also for introducing phase-splitting devices so as to give an initial turning effort,

Granted: 1902-06-07
Abstract: 9551. Sa³bermann, S. May 8. Incandescent gas lamps.-Mantle fabrics are prepared from threads spun from a mixture of from 10 to 15 per cent. by weight of cotton fibres to 90 to 85 per cent. of asbestos fibres, or asbestos may be used alone when fibres can be obtained sufficiently long in the staple to be spun into fine threads without knots or protuberances being formed therein. Either these or ordinary mantles can be used with impregnating-solutions containing salts of calcium with from 0À3 to 1 per cent. of cerium nitrate, or 98 to 99À5 per cent. of thorium salt and 0À5 to 2 per cent. of cerium salt, or similar proportions of calcium and cerium salts, and salts of zirconium or thorium may be added to the solution of calcium and cerium salts. When a solution of calcium and cerium salts is employed, the mantles are incinerated immediately they have been dried. The illuminating power of mantles is increased by dipping the finished mantle in a solution containing 5 to 10 per cent. of thorium and cerium salts, and again drying and incinerating.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Deep-boring Apparatus.
Inventor: RAYNER GEORGE HENRY
Filed: 1903-02-16
Granted: 1903-12-10
Abstract: 3646. Rayner, G. H., [Gross, F.]. Feb. 16. Deep-boring.-Relates, especially, to deep-boring apparatus in which a rope supports the drill. The drill b carrying the rope a is connected to the disc f on the same axle b<1> by the worm f<1>which can be turned to feed the rope and tools. The disc is oscillated by the connecting-rod g from the engine l, thus moving the tools. The drum b is supported on the piston e in the cushioning- cylinder d, and the disc f is also connected to the piston n in the double-acting cushioning-cylinder m mounted to oscillate on the frame. An air pump o, driven from the engine, supplies air to the two cushioning-cylinders, which may have valves to regulate the pressure. The piston e may, alternatively, carry a beam, and the cylinder m would then act as a buffer ; or the rope may be fixed to the disc f ; or a beam may replace it. In this last case, the rods can be carried by a roller hanging in a bight of the rope, and an intermediate drum to wind the rope from would be necessary.
