Patent GB-190903597-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Rolling Mills.
Inventor: STUETING HEINRICH
IPC: B21B25/02
Filed: 1909-02-13
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 3597. St³ting, H. Feb. 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Rolling tubes mandrels.-In a tube-rolling mill with a number of rolls arranged one behind the other, the mandrel rods are supported by abut. ments at each end between successive pairs of rolls, and the abutments are disengaged by the tube to allow it to pass from one roll to another. The front abutments consist of counterweighted pivoted levers f, and the back abutments are formed by a slide i operated by a counterweighted lever m a projection j on which is engaged by the tube h. Feed-rolls b move the tube from one pass to the next, and the pivoted lever f is free to re-engage the mandrel before the back abutment is lowered. Fig. 3 shows two sets of rolls rotating in opposite directions, the mandrel-supporting means for successive passes being reversed. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under section 91 (3) (a), comprises also modified means for supporting the mandrels and means for turning the work through ninety degrees between one pass and the next. The mandrel-rod abutments consist of two tongs. The tongs p are opened by the tube in its passage through the mill and are closed by springs contained in cylinders t. The mandrelrod abutments may consist of slides i<1>, Fig. 8, pressed together by spring plungers g. The tong abutments p, Fig. 12, have extensions p<3> connected by rods 7 to a rocking shaft 5 from which the turning-device 1 is operated, and two pairs b, b<1> of feed-rolls are carried by each abutment. The tube is fed while passing through the turning-device by a conveyer chain 8. The turning- device may consist of spring-pressed plates, which exert a friction grip on either side of the work and which are moved in opposite directions. In a modification, a chain surrounds the tube and is carried by weighted levers operated by rods from the shaft 5 ; in further modifications, the tube is first gripped by spring-pressed pivoted levers, and is then rotated as the levers continue their movement. The turning-means may be operated from a hinged abutment, and as shown in Fig. 21 the tongs p and turning-means 1 are both positively operated by links from a shaft 5 oscillated by a stop on a worm-wheel 14 driven from the rolls a. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 18,929. Bellem, L. H. L., and BrÚgÚras, G. J. B. Aug. 20, 1908, [Convention date]. Four-stroke-cycle engines. - The engine is of the type in which a charge of compressed air is admitted at the end of each out-stroke from the crank-chamber. The air enters the crank-chamber by a valve, and passes to the cylinder through ports controlled by the piston and a chamber surrounding the cylinder. The fuel is a heavy oil, and is emulsified with air in the admission valve. It is supplied by a pump to a cup 8 and is drawn therefrom by the vacuum in the cylinder into a passage 5 in the stem of the valve 3 meeting a current of air entering through a hole in the cap 6, which mixes with it. In escaping, it meets another current of air issuing from the hole 11, this air entering from the atmosphere through the passages and ports 8, 9, 10.

Abstract: 22,205. Gardner, T. H., and Gardner, E. Sept. 29. Force-feed lubricators.-In a lubricating system for the steam or other engines of motor vehicles, boats, &c., in which oil is pumped from the crank chamber to the bearings &c., a storage tank is provided between the pump and the bearings to maintain a reserve of oil under pressure, should the supply to the pump be curtailed by rolling or tilting of the crank chamber.

Title: Improvements in System of Electric Motor Control.
IPC: H02P7/06
Filed: 1911-01-03
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 177. British Thomson - Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Jan. 3. Systems for continuous-current motors only. -The speed of a motor is under the control of a normally-closed hand-switch 10, Fig. 1. To accelerate the motor when running slowly with a full field F, the switch is opened. This throws a resistance R into the field, weakening it and causing a surge of current through the armature. A normally-open vibrating contactor switch 11, with its coil in series with the motor armature, thereupon closes intermittently a short-circuit about the resistance until, the motor speed having increased, the armature current is sufficiently reduced to prevent the contactor from lifting. Conversely, to slow down the motor when the field resistance is in circuit, a normally-open switch 10<a>, Fig. 2, is closed, suddenly increasing the field, and the normally-closed contactor switch 11<a> vibrates until stable conditions are established at a reduced speed. Both methods of control are combined in the arrangement shown in Fig. 3. The switch 10<b>, when opened with the motor running slowly under a full field, causes a hunting operation of the contactor switch 13<b> as shown in Fig. 3. Surges in the coil 11<b> are ineffective in lifting the switch A, through the differential shunt coil 15<b>, but on closing the switch 10<b> on high speeds, the effect of the regenerated current in the coil 11<b> is added to that of the coil 15<b>, and the switch A operates as shown in Fig. 2 to reduce the speed.
