Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 10,239. Coates, J. F., and Emett, A. April 27. Date indicators.-Relates to arrangements in which all the days of the month are visible at one time, the daily date being indicated by a movable pointer. The day numbers are placed around the margin of a disk and an indicating frame or border d bent over the edge is attached to a radial arm pivoted at the centre a of the disk. A pointer may be used instead of the frame. The radial member c may be of indiarubber or a spring structure, as shown in Fig. 5. The indicator may be formed as a spring clip d, Fig. 4, with an inset spring d<Î> to take into notches on the edge of the disk. The names of the days and months may be carried on pivoted disks and exhibited through apertures g. Instead of a notched edge, the disk may have studs or holes to engage the turned-over clip, and thumb-screws or other securing-means may be employed. A magnifying-lens may be fitted in the indicating-frame. The central space on the disk may be utilized for ornamental or advertising matter.

Title: Improved Means for Preventing Overspeed and Overwind in Winding or like Engines.
IPC: B66B5/08
Filed: 1911-09-30
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 21,552. Grant, Ritchie, & Co., and McAlister, R. K. Sept. 30. Overwinding, preventing. - Apparatus for preventing overwinding and overspeed in winding and like engines comprises a pair of disks carrying tappets, one disk acting to cut off steam and to apply the brake gradually at the caution ' points, the other releasing a trip gear to stop the engine suddenly if the cage passes a predetermined point or approaches the end of the wind without a reduction of speed. A worm - wheel arranged between the disks A, B is geared to the engine shaft so as to make less than one revolution per wind. The disk A carries pins E which are adapted, on overwinding taking place, to knock over a vertical pin F, thereby releasing a weighted lever G coupled to the throttle valve and brake. The sleeve of the governor is linked to a block K, sliding on the pin F and arranged so that if the speed is high the block lies in the path of the pins E, thereby causing an earlier release of the weighted lever G. The second disk B carries projections L, which, when the cage is at the correct point for cutting off steam, engage one or other of two arms M suspended from levers N. These are each connected by a lever S and link U to an arm on the shaft X, which is coupled by arms Y, Z to the steamcontrol lever and to the braking devices respectively. When the throttle is closed, the suspended arms M are moved out of the path of the projections L by cams a operated by an arm e on the control shaft X. The governor is driven through a friction clutch which is held in engagement by steam pressure in a cylinder I<1> and is released by a weight I<5> when the engine stop valve is closed. The governor varies the cut off by a linkage f.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Automatic Regulating Apparatus for Electric Supply Systems.
IPC: H02J3/30
Filed: 1911-10-31
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 24,105. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Oct. 31. Equalizing load on generators; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for. - The motor of a motor - controlled regulating-apparatus for alternating-current circuits is reduced in size by allowing it to rotate freely and supplying one element of the motor from a stationary transformer arrangement, while the other element is supplied independently from the main supply. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the motor-generator m, g is provided with a fly-wheel m<1>, and the slip-rings of the motor are connected to a liquid resistance f, the value of which is controlled by an unrestrained two-phase induction motor N. One winding n' of the motor N is connected to a transformer arrangement comprising a current transformer i<1>, i<2> the secondary winding i<2> of which is shunted by a resistance r, and a potential transformer e<1>, e<2>. The potential EJ across the resistance r is opposed to the potential E<1> across the secondary winding e<2>. The second winding n<2> of the motor N is supplied from a potential transformer e<3>, e<4>. Normally, the potential E' balances the potential E<J>, but upon a variation of current through the primary winding i<1>, the required difference of potential is obtained to cause the motor N to rotate in the desired direction. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the resistance r is replaced by an inductive resistance d, while the transformers e<1>, e<2>, e<3>, e<4> are replaced by a phase converter p, across the brushes b<1>, b<2> of which normally exists a potential equal and opposite to the potential E<J> across the resistance d. In another modification shown in Fig. 5, the induction motor N is replaced by a commutator motor N', the armature n<2> of which is connected to the secondary winding e' of a potential transformer e<3>, e<@> through an inductive resistance W, and the field winding n<1> is connected to the secondary circuit of a transformer arrangement consisting of current transformers p<1>, s<1>; p<2>, s<2>; p<3>, s<2> and a potential transformer e<1>, e<2>. The potential of the winding c<2> opposes the potentials of the windings s<1>, s<2>, s<3>, while the primary windings p<1>, p<2>, p<3> are connected across inductances i<1>, i<2>, i<3> connected in the main circuit. The secondary windings s<3>, e<2> are variable, the variation of the windings s<3> varying the phase of the resultant pressure across the windings s<1>, s<2>, s<3>, while the variable winding e<2> varies the mean load for which the arrangement is set.

Abstract: 26,000. Schmidt, G. F. April 10. Toothed gearing. - In a weight motor for driving gasolene - generators &c., means are provided whereby the driven mechanism is continuously rotated in one direction, during both the descent of the weight and the winding- up. A drum 7, on which the weight-cable 8 is wound, is loose on the winding-shaft 3, and has a disk portion 11 carrying pinions 13 and pawls 17, Fig. 4, engaging therewith. The pinions gear with a pinion 16 fast on the shaft 3 and with annular teeth 15 on a sprocket wheel 14 which surrounds the disk 11 and is connected to the shafts 1, 2 to be driven. During the running down of the weight, the annular wheel 14 and pintons 13, 16 are locked together, and turn in a counterclockwise direction. When the shaft 3 is turned clockwise by means of a crank 19, the pinions 13, 16 are thereby caused to rotate in the directions of the arrows, Fig. 4, and, while the counterclockwise movement of the wheel 14 is maintained, the disk 11 and the drum 7 are rotated clockwise, thus raising the driving-weight.
