Patent GB-190920183-A (GB)
Title: Means for Preventing the Overwinding of Pit Cages.
Inventor: BARCLAY JOHN GALILEO
IPC: B66B5/08
Filed: 1910-03-03
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 20,183. Barclay, J. G., and Barclay, A. N. March 3, 1910. Overwinding, preventing ; regulating and control-transmitting gear.-In connexion with winding-engines for mines, overwinding and excessive speed towards the end of the wind are prevented by mechanism actuating a trip gear, so as to throw over the throttle, brake, and reversing levers in sequence. The throttle lever B, brake lever C, and reversing-lever A are connected by slotted links to weighted bell-crank levers mounted on a shaft D, the weights being normally supported by tongues of different length on a pivoted strut K<2>. In the event of overwinding, the strut K<2> is removed, allowing the weighted levers in succession to swing the throttle and brake levers into position to arrest the engine and also throwing-over or centring the reversing-lever A. To enable the retaining- catch a<1> of the lever A to be released, the lever is mounted on a pivot a<2>, which is eccentric with regard to a pin e<2> carrying an arm e<1>, this being swung over by the bell-crank D<1> prior to the centring of the lever. The mechanism for operating the strut K<2> comprises a block f sliding in vertical guides under the control of a cord f<1> wound on a drum driven from the engine shaft, the cord being so arranged that, during each complete wind, it first unwinds from the drum and then is wound on in the opposite direction. A two-pronged lever g is pivotally and slidably mounted on the guides, and is pushed forwards into the path of the block f by a governor H. The lever g is also coupled to a rod K, connected by a lever and link to the strut K<2>. If the speed is not suitably reduced towards the end of the wind, the block f engages one or other of the prongs of the lever g, thereby swinging the strut K<2> and releasing the weights, which operate the control levers in succession. A slow overwind, due to starting in the wrong direction, is prevented by a second lever m also coupled to the rod K. In a modification, the two-pronged lever g is replaced by two levers controlled by separate governors, and the lever m is replaced by a compound lever adapted to effect a quicker movement of the rod K.

Abstract: 21,217. Debrie, J. J. Sept. 19, 1908, [Convention date]. Kinematograph apparatus.-Relates to a particular arrangement of the film spools whereby the apparatus is rendered compact and portable. The box A containing the apparatus is provided with partitions in which are mounted spools c, c<1>, the film being looped at l<1>, l<2> before and after it is guided through the gate R, which is mounted between the partitions. A longitudinal shaft G, carrying a governor J, drives the shaft of the receiving-spool through bevelgear, and is itself driven from a crank-handle through gearing terminating in a bevel-wheel g, which is integral with the shutter plate g<2>. The bevel-wheel is also provided with an eccentric stud g<3> which engages with a transverse slot H in a vertically-guided slide M. Pins h<1> on the slide pass through slots b in the supporting-plate, and engage with the marginal perforations in the film, an intermittent feed being obtained by the slot H being deeper at one end than the other, so that the stud g<3> intermittently presses the slide M forward against the action of a spring h<2>. Instead of using the crank-handle, the machine may be driven by a spring motor Q through gearing-up wheels P. The box A containing the apparatus is constructed of material consisting of a plate and an impermeable board or card with an interposed sheet of asbestos.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Polyphase Electric Compensated Series Motors.
IPC: H02K27/14
Filed: 1910-04-14
Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 9046. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. April 14. Alternating-current commutator machines.- The main exciting-field of a polyphase compensated series motor unprovided with a separate exciting-winding on the stator is produced by supplying currents of suitable phases derived from series transformers to the stator compensating-windings I, II, III or to the armature brushes. In one modification, Fig. 3, the currents j<1>, j<2>, J<3> are supplied to the compensating-windings and armature brushes in series and the main exciting-field is produced in the compensating-windings I, II, III by currents i', i2, i<3> substantially in quadrature with the currents J<1>, J<2>, J<3> and generated in the secondary windings of a series transformer; each limb of which has two primary windings. These two primary windings may have the same or different numbers of turns and carry respectively two of the load currents acting differentially, as shown. Alternatively, the three secondary transformer windings may be starconnected at one end and joined at their other ends to the three armature brushes. A rotaryfield' phase-transformer may be employed in place of the transformer shown. In a highvoltage supply system, the compensating-windings I, II, III, Fig. 6, may be connected to the mains directly, while the armature is fed by a series step-down transformer t, each limb of which has three primary windings carrying the main currents J<1>, J<2>, J<3> in the manner indicated.

Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 18,686. Kotkovski, B. Aug. 8. Burglar alarms.-Relates to a construction of lock mechanism for drawers, doors, &c., which allows a false key to rotate idly in the lock without touching the bolt. When a false key is used, a pawl 43, Fig. 4, is actuated, which carries a finger 45, outside the casing, and operates an indicator 46, which thus shows when an attempt has been made to pick the look. The drawer knob 49, Fig. 5, is mounted to be capable of slight longitudinal motion relative to the drawer, but is normally prevented from so moving by an arm 41 on the pawl 43, Fig. 4, and is only released therefrom when a false key is used and the pawl 43 thereby actuated. When this occurs, the handle when pulled to open the drawer is drawn forward and, by operating a spring lever 62, releases a plate 59 which springs forward so that spikes 60 thereon are forced through holes in a cover plate 64, and scratch the hand of the person trying to open the drawer. The lever 41 is returned to its normal position to relock the knob when the bolt is withdrawn by a shoulder on the bolt.

Abstract: 22,325. Stuhlmacher, R. Sept. 26. Variable-speed gearing.-A zigzag motion is imparted by a uniformly-actuated worm 17 to a worm-wheel 16, which acts alternatively at short intervals as a rack. An application to the controlling of change - speed gearing is described. A gear 11 sliding on a feather &c. on a driving-shaft 2 is to be slid opposite to any one of a series of gears 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 fast on a driven shaft 4 and to be connected thereto by an idler 10. The idler 10 is carried by a frame 12 which is pivoted on the shaft 2 and envelops the gear 11. A pin 13 upon the frame 12 engages a zigzag guiding-slot in a fixed plate 15 so that the frame 12 is capable of only the proper sliding and pivotal movements required for moving the idler 10 from engagement with one of the gears 5 &c. into engagement with another. These alternate movements of the frame 12 are produced from a uniformlyactuated spindle 18 by forming the rack wormwheel 16 upon the frame 12 and the worm 17 upon the spindle 18. The spindle 18 is turned from a handle 20 provided with a locking- pin 20<1>.

Abstract: 5077. Baj, C. March 1, 1910, [Convention date]. Apparatus for making films.-In an apparatus for the manufacture of films, the width of film and the quantity of cleaning-liquid are capable of regulation in relation to one another. The collodion or other solution is contained in a trough 3, the ends of which are held in clamps 7, and can he moved laterally to alter the length of the trough. The trough can be reciprocated horizontally, to distribute the solution upon the engraved portions of the cylinder by means of a shaft to which the trough is attached and by a reciprocating rod 10. The film, after having passed through the hardening- liquid, is detached at the point 12, and the cylinder is cleaned by liquid which passes from a tube 16 through holes 15 and a slot 17. The effective length of the tube 16 may be varied by means of pistons 21, according to the width of film produced. The cleaning-liquid is sucked up by lips 24 attached to a suction device 26, the effective length of the lips being adjustable by means of sliding laths. The horizontal tube 26 is integral with two elbow-pieces adapted to be secured on vertical tubes in communication with a vacuum pump.
