Title: Improvements in Dynamo Electric Machines
Filed: 1907-02-01
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 2 5 9 5 . Ateliers Thomson - Houston (Anciens Etablissements Po s t e l- Vinay). Feb. 2, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Field magnets; motors, controlling.-In a compensated dynamo-electric machine, a single winding is arranged in a plurality of sections, so that it serves both as a polarizing winding and a compensating, winding for both directions of rotation the ampere-turns of each section being equivalent to the geometric sum of the ampere-turns necessary for polarization and those necessary . for compensation in every zone of the motor. The arrangement of windings is particularly designed for the case of single-phase commutator motors in which the difference between the ampere-turns necessary for compensating and those necessary for polarizing is considerable, Such a machine with a single inductor winding for a series machine, is shown in Figs. 2. and 3. The coils a, d or b, e, according to the direction of rotation, produce, the main field, and the coils c, f set up a flux to neutralize the armature reaction in the zones z o x and z o x<1>. The coils a, d or b, e are in series with each other, with the armature, and with the compensating sections c, f. To reverse the direction of rotation, the coils b, e are replaced by the coils a, d as shown in Fig. 3. The invention is applicable to multipolar machines and to drum windings as well as ring windings. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 19U1 comprises also arrangements of a single station winding in three unequal sections suitably situated to produce a direction of field that may be resolved into two components at right-angles, one to oppose the armature reaction and the other to produce the recitation. Arrangements were also described for producing the same effect as that produced by the Deri compensating winding by the employment of a simple winding divided into four sections which produce fields equal to the resultant fields produced in the various quadrants by the combination of the two stator windings of the Deri arrangement. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted

Abstract: 9635. Brittain, T. R. April 25, 1906, (date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Moulding clay.- In preparing clay for pottery manufacture, slip is forced under considerable pressure through an opening 23 into the interior of a chamber formed by semicylindrical members 1, 2 bolted together through the flanges 4. A filtering lining, which may consist of canvas placed between layers of wire cloth, is gripped between the flanges. Liquid passing through the lining is led by grooves 18 to outlets 19.

Abstract: 19,536. Barker, A. Aug. 31. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. A carburettor for dealing with heavy oils, such as paraffin, has one or more rapidly vibrating mixing- disks, as shown in Fig. 2. Fuel entering through a port controlled by the needle valve D passes with the primary air supply through the suction-operated valve G. to the mixing-chamber A, the mixing- screens 0 of which are depressed by the downward movements of the head H<1> of the fuel-inlet valve D. From the mixing-chamber, the explosive mixture passes through passages M, M<1>, M<2>, which surround a chamber M<3> heated by the exhaust, to the carburettor outlet U, a supplementary air inlet to which is provided at Q<2>. The resistance to opening of the valve D is adjusted by varying the tension of the spring S<2>. A deflecting sleeve T in the mixing- chamber serves to direct the mixture on to the upper mixing-screen. Compressed air may be employed to facilitate the starting or working of the vaporizer or carburettor, or the vaporizer may be heated initially by an electric heater situated beneath the valve G. The inner cylindrical vessel may have spiral flanges, coiled wire, or other suitable means to assist in vaporization of the oil.

Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 15,951. Optische Anstalt C. P. Goerz Akt.-Ges. Jan. 23, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Cameras, reflex folding. The mirror 14 and ground-glass frame 12 are hinged to the back of the camera, and the lens front 2 is supported by the folding stay 3 and is not directly hinged to the ground-glass frame 'but is connected to it by the intermediate support 11. The ground-glass frame can thus be fitted at a further distance from the optical axis than the mirror axis, so that objectives of any focal lens can be used. The ground - glass forms the top of the box casing which is closed by the mirror 14 when tilted up for exposure. Normally the mirror is urged upwards by a spring in its axis 13; but is retained by a catch 17, Fig. 5, engaging the mirror arm 16. To release the mirror, a push knob 20 moves the wedge slide 19, which depresses the resilient plate 18 carrying the catch 17. At the end of the upward movement of the mirror, the pawl 26, Fig. 4, holding the shutter is disengaged by the movement of the eccentric pivot 29 on the mirror axis 13. A spring 30 tends to keep the pawl 26 in engagement with the ratchet-wheel 25. A focusing-hood is mounted above the camera with a stiffening-plate 7 carrying the cover flap 10. Hinged struts 31 connect the camera to the folding stay 3.

Title: Improvements relating to Fans, Pumps, Propellers, and the like.

Filed: 1908-08-06
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 16,592. Vojacek, L. Aug. 6. Centrifugal pumps.-Centrifugal impellers for use as pumps &c , are formed with blades the inlet edges of which extend from the hub almost to the periphery, and are set to receive the axially-entering fluid without shock. The blades are of U of half- U section according as the impeller is of the double or single inlet type, and the peripheral edges may overap and be united to form a ring. The blades may be secured to a conical boss, and may be formed with straight backs inclined at any angle to the shaft, or with curved backs concave or convex towards the direction of rotation. Fig. 2 shows a blade of a double-inlet impeller, Figs. 3 and 3<a> being cylindrical sections on the lines b-b and b<a>-b<a> respectively. The inlet edges extending from the hub 2 to the periphery 22 are set at every point so that the fluid enters without shock, the factors considered being the axial entering velocity of the fluid and the linear velocity of the rotating point. It is stated that with this type of impeller the ratio of the axial inlet velocity to the speed of the shaft is constant. The impeller is narrowed towards the periphery to cause the fluid to fill the spaces between successive blades. The impeller may be cast in one piece. Figs. 7 and 8 show a double-inlet impeller the blades of which may be developed into a plane and may be made from sheet metal. The edges 14 of one blade overlap the preceding blade and are secured to it, thus forming two peripheral rings. In single -inlet impellers, one edge of each blade is secured to the disk on the shaft. Fig. 21 shows a modification in which the blades are secured to a conical hub 19, and are surrounded by an outer ring 21 which may or may not be of the same conicity. The edges of the blades touching the hub 19 need not lie in axial planes; in this case, if the edges are straight, the hub will be no longer conical. The parts may be connected by riveting, soldering, or welding, and the impellers may be used with suitable casings and diffusers.

Abstract: 16,701. Webber, F. C. Aug. 8. Electric clocks maintaining power.-A spiral spring 4, which is stretched around a drum attached to a ratchet-wheel 1 fast ona spindle 34, is stretched once a minute when an electro-magnet 12 attracts its armature 11, which is carried by a lever 5, a pawl 6 on that lever driving the ratchet 1 the space of a tooth. The spring 4 has its ends attached to a driving-wheel 2 loose on the spindle 34, and the ratchet 1 respectively. The driving-wheel 2 is geared to an equal wheel 3, which carries a ratchet 3B engaged by a second spring-controlled pawl 9 on the arm 6, so that the return of the arm 5 by a spring 15 is controlled by the rotation of the wheel 3. The circuit of the electro magnet 12 is closed through contacts 17, 19 and 22, 24. The spring contact 17 is thrown against the fixed contact 19 by a pin 18 on an arm 7, which is carried by the lever 5 and controlled by a spring 8, when the pin is drawn under the base of the insulated triangular stud 16 after descending the sloping face. The pawl 6 controls through a lever 21 a contact 22 allowing it to fall on a cam 23, wtrch rotates once a minute, just after the cam has passed the centre position ; the cam shortly after allows it to fall further to a fixed contact 24 and complete the circuit. A pointer friction-tight on the spindle 34 keeps pace with the minute-hand as long as the batteries are sufficiently powerful to keep the spring 4 fully wound.
