Patent GB-190411168-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Safety Devices for Protecting Dynamo Electric Machinery and the like against the Excessive Voltage occuring when they are Switched In or Out.
Filed: 1904-05-14
Granted: 1904-11-24
Abstract: 11,168. Elektrizitõts Akt.-Ges. vorm. W. Lahmeyer & Co. June 27, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Armatures ; field magnets.-In order to protect the windings of motors, transformers, and the like from the abnormallyhigh voltages occurring when they are switched in or out, a choking-coil is interposed between the winding and the mains, and is short-circuited or otherwise rendered inoperative during normal working conditions by means controlled by the main switch. A form of switch for putting the coil successively in and out of action is shown in Fig. 5. A pin F, permanently connected with one of the leads, is capable of being moved by a lever into contact with a sleeve H joined to the choking-coil D which protects the winding W, the choking-coil being shortcircuited when the pin reaches the contact U. Alternatively, the self-induction of the choking- coil may be reduced by short-circuiting a second coil in inductive relation to the first, or, as shown in Fig. 7, the core K of the coil D may be withdrawn after closing the main switch S. The core may be in the form of a horse-shoe, and the magnetic resistance is increased by removing its armature in a similar manner to the above, or the core may be furnished with an auxiliary winding fed from a source of direct current, such as a battery, so that, after completing the main circuit, a second switch, mechanically coupled with the main switch, closes the battery &c. circuit, thus saturating the iron core. A single choking-coil may be used in connection with several machines.

Title: An Improved Domestic Fire Grate
Inventor: RYAN RICHARD MICHAEL
Filed: 1904-05-31
Granted: 1905-05-31
Abstract: 12,325. Ryan, R. M. May 31. Grates; smoke-consuming; draught, regulating; air-heating arrangements.-A rotary grate a, Figs. 1 and 2, is mounted on a spindle b on friction rollers c and ball bearings d, and is enclosed in a casing or hood f fitted with a movable hood g, which, together with the damper h, may be used for regulating the draught. The front opening l, and the peripheral opening v, w, Fig. 8, fitted with a sliding door a<1>, admit of the addition of fuel, which causes the grate to revolve until the incandescent coal is uppermost, when the smoke from the fresh fuel, passing through it, is consumed. A blower B, Fig. 5, may be hung on the casing f, and, by placing it in the ashpan m, may be utilized as a damper. A casing x, Fig. 3, for heating air for ventilation, may be placed behind the back-plate s, and may be extended to enclose the grate. The grate may be suspended like a pendulum, or may be supported by a pivot at the front as well as at the back.

Title: Improvements in Paper Trimming Machines.
Inventor: SEYBOLD CHARLES
Filed: 1904-07-07
Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 15,234. Seybold, C. July 7. Cutting-machines for paper.- The cutting-blades are fixed to the cutting-head of the machine in parallel planes, packages of paper to be cut, such as books, pamphlets, circulars, and the like, being placed on an intermittently rotating table underneath the cutting-blades. A package of paper is delivered from the machine for each stroke of the cutting-blades. The table is divided into four parts, for loading, cutting the side edges, cutting the front edge, and unloading, respectively. The cutting-head G carries two adjustable blades h and a fixed blade g<111>, Fig. 3, and is driven by connecting-rods P from cranks on shafts R, Fig. 2. During the up-stroke of the blades, clamps Y, attached to each blade, come into contact with a stop p which puts the clamps in advance of the blades so that, in the down-stroke, the clamps press down on the work before cutting commences. A strip of metal placed on the bottom of the clamp is connected to the clamp by springs so that any lateral shift of the paper due to the diagonal stroke of the clamp is prevented. Four adjustable backgauges a<1>, Fig. 3, are used for adjusting the position of the paper on the table D according to its size. A pinion D<1>, Fig. 2, actuated-from the worm H<1> drives the table, and a lever L' and cam-plate u<1> serve to put the pinion D<1> out of gear when stopping the machine for cutting. The rollers a", all working on the frame A give support to, and steady the motion of, the table D, and a wedge-bolt, actuated by a bell-crank lever and a cam, rises between two roller pins on the frame, locking it in the exact position for cutting. A wedge connected to the above-mentioned wedge-bolt allows a spring to tighten a band-brake around the table when raised, and loosens the band-brake when lowered. Each package is fixed to the table by a clamp c<1> which is brought into action by a plate l<1> worked by the treadle p<1> and put out of action, after cutting is finished, by a cam-surface s<1>.

Title: Improvements in Electric Ignition Devices for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: MILLINGTON FREDERICK
Filed: 1905-03-01
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 4233. Millington, F., and Miller, A. H. March 1. Gas and like engines, igniting in. An igniting- device consists of a chamber, screwed to the combustion chamber, and containing a spring wiper which forms one terminal and rotates at half the speed of the engine. The wiper strikes once in each revolution a fixed terminal, and at the moment of withdrawal from it produces a spark. In Fig. 1, the wiper sbaft g is shown driven by flexible shafting m. Current enters the shaft g from a lead secured at f, passing through a sleeve c, insulated by mica or other insulation d. The wiper consists of a spring o, shown in Fig. 2 which is a plan of the underside of Fig. 1, the spring being carried by the shaft g and pressing, in one position, against a terminal r in electric connexion with the mass of the motor. Once in each revolution of the wiper sbaft, the spring o is pressed against the terminal r, thus closing the electric circuit. Immediately afterwards, as the shaft continues to rotate, the spring o is forced past the terminal r and a spark occurs at break. The end of the shaft g may be formed as a valve, co-operating with a spring to prevent the escape of gases. The sleeve c may be grooved for lubricating the shaft g.

Title: Improvements in Double Acting Friction Brakes for Pulley Blocks, Hoists, Crabs and the like.
Inventor: PRIEST ROWLAND
Filed: 1905-08-15
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 16,556. Priest, R., and Millward, B., [trading as Priest, R.], and Morrall, W. Aug. 15. Pulley - blocks; hoists; winches and crabs; brakes.- Relates to pulleyblocks, hoists, crabs, and the like, particularly those in which the lifting-chain has two hooks, one at each end, and hangs over a sprocket-wheel, and consists in providing the same with a double-acting friction brake, which comes into action automatically and sustains the load at either end of the lifting-chain. Fixed to the sides of the handchain wheel 1 and loosely mounted on the spindle 2 are two double-threaded buttress screws 3, 4 of the same hand, with the inclined faces turned towards the central chain-wheel. Two sets of expanding segments 12, 14, internally threaded to fit the screws 3, 4, are adapted to engage frictionally brake boxes 16, 17, which are loosely mounted on the hub of the chain-wheel 1 and are toothed externally and engaged respectively by two oppositely-directed pawls. The power spindle 2, which is geared to the lifting-drum or the like, is connected to the expanding segments by collars 22, 23 provided with pins. When the load is suspended from one end of the lifting-chain, and the handwheel 1 is rotated, the screw 3 expands the segments 14 and causes them to engage the brake box 17, which rides over the pawl engaging its external teeth. As soon as the power is withdrawn from the hand-wheel, the pawl engages these teeth and sustains the load, while, if the hand-wheel is in the reverse direction, the brake box 17 retards the segments and controls the speed of descent. If the load is suspended from the other end of the hoisting-chain, the opposite screw, segments, and brake box are brought into action. In a modified construction, the screws 3, 4 are keyed to the power spindle 2, and the expanding segments 12, 14 are engaged by pins on the hand-chain wheel 1.
