Title: Improvements relating to Electromagnets.
Inventor: MORRIS DAVID KING
Filed: 1907-03-13
Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 6083. Morris, D. K., and Lister, G. A. March 13. Electro-magnets.-A long-stroke electro-magnet giving a uniform reversible pull has two windings so arranged on the fixed and movable elements as to give two fields approximately at right-angles to each other, the reaction between the fields causing the motion. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a field magnet a has a winding c, which produces a transverse field across the annular air-gaps between the circular pole-pieces a<1> and the linear armature b. The armature winding d is so wound that current flows in it in opposite directions under the two poles a<1>, this being effected by a central brush-like ring e and two outer rings e', which make contact with the bared outer surface of the winding d. As a result, the armature and field-block are moved relatively to one another by a constant force. Several pairs of pole-pieces may coact with a single armature, and the brush arrangement may be eliminated by reversing the direction of the armature winding once per pole pair and connecting its ends to the supply. Fig. 4 shows a form in which only a single winding on the armature is used, the portions adjacent to the recesses a<2> and the polepiece a', respectively, producing the transverse and longitudinal fluxes. The armature may be recessed to receive its winding, and both windings may be placed either on it, as shown in Fig. 5, or on the field. In the former case, the field coil c is preferably arranged to give a dash-pot effect in the magnet cavity a<2>. Reversal of the connexions of one of the windings causes a reversed pull. For alternating currents, the flux-carrying parts are laminated ; and for polyphasa work, a continuous field winding is wound similarly to the stator of an ordinary induction motor.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Bottle Blowing Machines
Inventor: SCHILLER ADOLF
Filed: 1908-03-21
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 6367. Schiller, A. March 21 Blowing and moulding bottles.-The parison and preliminary blowing mould 15 fits on a guide 14 provided with a recess for the neck mould 13. The plunger 16 is raised by a pedal 17, and the molten metal is introduced into the mould 15, whereupon a piston 3 operated upon a hand-lever 7 is lowered so as to draw the air from the neck mould by way.of an air port 11. When the molten metal has been drawn into the neck mould, a valve at the side of the machine is opened and allows air to enter through a hole 10 above the piston 3 and to destroy the suction. The plunger 16 is then lowered, the valve is closed, and the piston 3 is raised so as to force air into the mould and effect the preliminary blowing. To promote the correct formation of the parison, the interior of the mould 15 is of conical form, as shown, or of convexly curved form. The lever 7 is fitted with a catch 8 to hold it at the desired point. When the blowing is deemed sufficient, it is arrested by allowing the air to escape through the hole 10. The neck mould 13, together with the parison, is then placed in the finishing-mould 25, and blown by air from a hand-operated compressor 20.
