Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 18,494. Grahl, G. de Sept. 3. [Patent of Addition to No. 12,241, A.D. 1908.] Doors.-In exhaust draught furnaces provided with an horizontally - hinged balanced door, and dampened air-supply passages in the door frame as described in Specification No. 12,241, A.D. 1908, the detent 23, which holds the door away from the lower part of the door frame, is prevented from rattling by means of a spring, and a second spring 36 fixed to the door frame is provided to prevent the door from closing during stoking or from opening directly the pressure in the furnace chamber falls below a certain point.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Control of Electric Motors.
Filed: 1908-10-01
Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 20,721. Lang, J. G. V., and Johnson- Lundell Electric Traction Co. Oct. 1. Motor control systems.-Motors running as series machines during acceleration are controlled regeneratively, and during retardation an independent source of supply is connected across a part of the series field winding. The motor A is shown in Fig. 1 (b) with a part F' of its field winding disconnected from the mains and supplied by a generator a during the regenerative action. In a modification, the generator a is connected across a part of the field winding without disconnexion from the mains. This is accomplished by a switch C, Fig. 2, which is open during acceleration and closed during retardation, while the machine runs with series and compound characteristics respectively during the two periods. The connexions for regenerative braking of two motors in parallel are shown in Fig. 3 (b). Some of the field coils of each motor are connected in series with the generator a, and so rendered independent of the load. Connexions are shown in Fig. 4 for the regenerative braking of two motors in series with the whole of the field coils across the mains. The switch C closes the circuit of the generator a during the retardation period. Specifications No. 329, A.D. 1903, and No. 1374, A.D. 1904, are referred to.
Patent GB-190820895-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Relay Apparatus for Polyphase Alternating Current Circuits.
Inventor: PECK JOHN SEDGWICK
Filed: 1908-10-03
Granted: 1909-09-23
Abstract: 20,895. Peck, J. S. Oct. 3. Distributing; switches.-An equalizer machine in a polyphase system is regulated by means of a relay which, on the occurrence of a reversal in the supply circuit, operates to reduce the electromotive force of the equalizer below that of the supply circuit. The motor-relay 5 is shown in Fig. 1 in an equalizer system of the kind described in Specification No. 20,169, A.D. 1905. A rotary converter 17 is connected to the three-phase supply circuit 1, 2, 3 through a transformer 18, and the direct-current side is connected to a machine 19 provided with a fly-wheel 20 and a shunt field 21. The field circuit includes a liquid resistance 22, which is varied when the motor 5 varies the position of one of the plates. The windings of the motor 5 are connected through a switch 26 to series and shunt transformers 8, 27, the primary of the former being connected in the conductor 2, and that of the latter being connected across the conductors 1, 3. The middle point of the secondary winding of the transformer 27 is connected to the secondary of the transformer 8. The electromotive force impressed on the shunt transformer differs in phase by ninety-degrees from the series transformer current. The operation of - the regulating-resistance of the load equalizer is the same as that of the arrangement described in the above-mentioned Specification for variations of energy flow, but, on reversal of energy, the motor 5 operates to increase the resistance in circuit with the field 21 and lower the voltage of the machine 19'to prevent it from returning energy to the power station. In the two-phase system shown in Fig. 2, the equalizer consists of two commutator motors 31 and a fly wheel on a common shaft, as described in Specification No. 15,335, A.D. 1907. The fields 32 are simultaneously varied by a rheostat 33 operated by an induction motor 5. The motor is connected through the switch 26 to transformers 8, 27, the primary of the former being connected in the conductor 3 of one phase, while the primary of the latter is connected across the conductors 2, 4 of the other phase. The secondary of the transformer 8 is connected, as in Fig 1, to the middle point of the secondary of the transformer 27. The switch 26 has contacts arranged to short-circuit the secondary of the transformer 8 when the switch is in its open position. A singlephase commutator motor may be used to operate the regulating resistance, the armature and field windings being connected to shunt and series transformers. The motor windings may be directly connected to the supply conductors if the voltage is suitable. A direct-current motor may be used instead of the motor 5, so arranged that the torque is varied by the agency of a reverse-current relay. The voltage of the machine 19 may also be regulated by a regulator of the Tirrill type controlled by a reverse-current relay ; or, instead of the regulator, solenoid switches which cut out resistance step by step may be used.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Perforating Tune Sheets.

Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 8349. Grimsdale, W. H. April 6. Selective punching- machines.-Relates to apparatus for producing from a master-sheet perforated copies having perforations of different effective area corresponding to the variations in the intensity of sound of the required notes. The notes of the master-sheet may be represented by perforations of varying width, groups of a varying number of perforations, or projections or indentations of varying magnitude, such representations corresponding to the intensity of sound required. Fig. 1 shows an apparatus for copying from a master-sheet, each note of which is represented by one of a series of five perforations of different sizes. The master sheet a is fed in the direction of the arrow and is adapted to be engaged by feelerpins g corresponding in size to one or other of the perforations in the sheet. Each pin g is connected through a bell-crank l to its corresponding punch-selector k, and is pressed normally towards the master-sheet by a spring m or otherwise. A reciprocating bar h actuates the selected punches b, and the pins g are withdrawn from the master sheet by a reciprocating bar n. To avoid unnecessary wear of the punches, the feeler-pins and punches are preferably arranged in order of their size so that the largest punches may act first on the sheet to be punched. In a modification in which the perforations are punched by selectively-operated concentric punches of the type described in Specification 7846/08, concentric differentiating selectors 1, 2, 3, Fig. 2, are provided which are adapted to be controlled by the perforations of the master-sheet 5 and thereby to operate, or to excite the operating electric currents of, the corresponding punches. Fig. 3 shows apparatus for copying from a master-sheet, in which the intensity of each note may be represented by one or more of three perforations arranged transversely of the sheet. The master-sheet is fed longitudinally, and the member of perforations for each note controls the distance to which the prong-device 23 rises and consequently the number of punches 31 that are coupled by the piece 30 to the punch-actuating beam 34. Where the notes on the mastersheet are represented by projections or indentations of varying magnitude, these notes are arranged to actuate in their movement oscillating levers connected with punch-coupling pieces of the character shown in Fig. 3, or they may actuate concentric differentiating selectors of the type shown in Fig. 2.

The guide 26 may be adjusted by means of a handle 28 having an eccentric pin 29 engaging a slot 32 in a slide 31 formed in the guide 26. The arrest of the assembler in the higher or lower position is effected by the engagement of the guide 26, or of a part connected thereto, with a fixed stop 9. In a modification, the guide 26 may be pivoted at the right end on a transverse axis, so that the top end may be moved to register with the guide 18 or 19.
