Title: Improvements in Electromagnetic Alternating Current Apparatus for Obtaining Measuring, Regulating, Motive or Adjusting Movements.
Inventor: KRIZIK FRANZ
IPC: G01R13/00
Filed: 1910-05-27
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 19,557. Krizik, F. May 27. Electro-magnetic current meters.-An alternating - current electro - magnet, for use in measuring-instruments of the induction type, of a form having two airgaps at rightangles, is wound with four coils, two or more of which are connected to the primary circuit, one or more being short-circuited or bridged by a resistance to form a secondary circuit; an unsymmetrical field is thus produced in one of the air gaps, and may be caused to act on a rotatable disk. The core 1, Fig. 1, preferably laminated, has two air-gaps 4, 6, and is wound with four coils 8, 9, 10, 11, connected in series with each other and with a rheostat 12, the coil 11 being short-circuited or bridged by a rheostat 13. Or the coils 8, 9 may be connected in series to the primary circuit, and the coils 10, 11 shortcircuited in series. In a modification, Fig. 6, the air gap 6 is raised out of the plane of the coils to facilitate the introduction of a rotatable disk 7, the connexions being as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 10 shows the application to a volt or ampere meter. A disk 7 having a pointer 16 is mounted between pivots 14, and projects into the gap 6, motion of the disk being opposed by two adjustable spiral springs 18. Specification 10,705/98 is referred to.

Title: Improved Means for Controlling the Supply of Steam to an Engine.
IPC: F01K1/02
Filed: 1909-10-01
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 22,700. HarlÚ et Cie. Oct. 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Exhaust, treating.- A motor d is supplied with exhaust steam from a bell - accumulator c, which receives the exhaust from an intermittently - running engine b, or with steam from a primary source a. The motion ot tne bell c puts the motor d into communication with the accumulator, or with the source a, by operating valves e, f, which may be connected by a common spindle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a projection h on the bell engages a weighted lever i, j connected to the common spindle. The spindle may be operated by a spring - controlled bell - crank lever which engages a wedge on the bell, by electric means, or by a piston subject to the pressure in the bell. In the last case, the weight of the bell is partly balanced by a float or elastic supports. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the valves e, f are controlled by a common governor 1. As shown, the valve f is held closed by the spring 3, and the valve e is under the control of the governor. When the projection h descends, the valve e is closed, and the valve f is brought under the action of the governor. One of the valves e, f may be replaced by valves controlled by a governor. In an arrangement in which the valve f is dispensed with, as shown in Fig. 7, the supplies from the accumulator c and the source a are controlled by valves 4, 5 under the control of a single governor 1. The valve 5 is not opened until the valve 4 is completely open, and the valve 4 is not acted upon by the governor until the valve 5 is completely closed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 8, the valve f is controlled by the pressure in the bell. The control of the valves 4, 5 by the governor is similar to the control of the valves 5, 4, Fig. 7. The valves e, f may be constructed, as shown in Fig. 5, to throttle the steam before closure.

Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 27,491. Glover, T. Nov. 25. Ball-and-socket joints provided with passages for two or more independent supplies of fluid. A socket 8 with central opening 9 and lateral opening 10 is secured to a plate 3 with passages 6, 7 to which the supply pipes 4, 5 lead. A hollow hemisphere 15, with a stem 16 held in place by a cap 14, has a passage 18 communicating with the central opening 9 through a spring-pressed tubular member with a hemispherical end 22 fitting the half-ball 15. A second passage 19 in the member 15 communicates through the recess 13 with the passage 10. The passages 18, 19 lead to the exit pipes 21, 20, which may be secured to a suitable intermediate member 17. In a modification for three independent supplies, the cap 14 screws to the socket 8, the bolts and flanges being omitted, and is embraced by a second hollow hemisphere held in place by a cap similar to the cap 14. The stem of the ball 15 fits within the stem of this additional hemisphere, and the third supply pipe communicates through passages in the plate 3, and socket 8, with a passage similar to the passage 19, in the additional hemisphere, which leads to the third exit pipe. A further modification applicable to either of the above forms consists in omitting the socket 8, suitably dishing the plate 3, and connecting the cap 14 directly thereto.

Granted: 1912-09-19
Abstract: 6197. Best, A. March 12. Polishing-machines.-Comprises a construction of floor scrubbing, mopping, and polishing machine, of the type in which a movable polishing or scrubbing brush, mounted on a wheeled carriage carrying a tank, is geared for actuation to the carriage wheels and is supplied with liquid from the tank. One of the principal features of the machine consists in the means for mounting and actuating the brushes. Fig. 4 shows the machine comprising superposed tanks 45, 46 mounted on a wheeled carriage which is moved along the floor by a handle 54. Toothed rings 11 on the carriage wheels drive pinions 35 mounted on crank-shafts which operate vertical rocking levers 27 connected by arched hanger bars 29 to the cover-plate of the brush. The levers 27 are carried by the central tie-rod of a series connecting a pair of U-shaped frame members 23. The hollow cover-plate of the brush, which is connected to the tank 45 by a pipe 51, is perforated to admit liquid to the tubes 14 in the brush stock. The brush is connected detachably to the cover-plate by three pivoted yokes 20, 21, of which two are mounted on lateral extensions at the front of the brush and the third at the rear end of the brush. A trailing frame 60 supports a rotary polishing or mopping band 64, a portion of which contacts with the floor. This band is rotated by rollers 74, one of which gears with the carriage wheels, and, when used for mopping, is squeezed and dried by the rollers after passing through the dirty liquid in the upper tank. When used for polishing it is employed in some cases to pick up polishing-material from the upper tank and apply it to the floor,

Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 7992. Allmõnna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget. April 12, 1911, [Convention date]. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power.-In an electric power-transmission system for motor-vehicles, the fieldmagnet excitation of the driving-motor M, Fig. 1, is regulated by an exciter E having three field-magnet windings, of which one, L1, is shunted to the armature of the generator G, the second, L2, is in series with the armature of the generator and motor and normally neutralizes the first-mentioned winding, and the third, L3, is connected either in series or in shunt with the armature of the exciter itself. The motor M may be provided with a fieldmagnet winding F2 connected in series or in shunt to its armature, and with a winding F1 connected to the exciter E. If the resistance to the propulsion of the vehicle tends to increase, the increased current through the winding L2 causes the exciter to strengthen the field of the motor, thereby increasing the torque and decreasing the speed, the watts remaining practically constant. If the resistance to the propulsion falls below the normal value, the reverse effect is obtained. The voltage and current of the generator thus vary only slightly. The winding F2 may be dispensed with; or it may be separately excited. Alternatively, the winding F, may be omitted, the armature of the exciter E being connected either in parallel or in series with the winding F2.
