Title: Safety Locking Device for Percussion Fuses.
Filed: 1908-12-28
Granted: 1909-04-22
Abstract: 28,306. Soc. Schneider et Cie. Dec. 27, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Fuses for projectiles.-The pallet 3 of percussion fuses is locked by jaws 6 normally retained by a ring 7 pressed by a ring 8. When the projectile is fired, the ring 7 sets back momentarily, on account of its inertia, allows the jaws 6 to fly outwards unde the influence of centrifugal force, then returns forwards, under the pressure of the spring 8, and retains the jaws 6 in the open position, so that the pellet 3 may be free to fly forwards on impact. The jaws 6 may be mounted on longitudinal arms 5, as shown, or on a transverse oval ring which expands out into a circular ring under the influence of centrifugal force.

Title: Improvements relating to Devices for Automatically Regulating the Voltage of Electrical Machines.
Inventor: ANDRE OSCAR
IPC: H02P9/18
Filed: 1909-01-16
Granted: 1910-01-17
Abstract: 1157. Andre, O. Jan. 16. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for. -In an automatic regulator in which a variable regulating-resistance is employed, the speed of regulation is made more rapid, so as to overcome the effects of self-induction, by the introduction into the circuit of the regulating-resistance of an auxiliary electromotive force, which, synchronously with the variations of the resistance, increases the electromotive force in the regulating-circuit as the resistance diminishes, and vice versa. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the field 3 of an alternator 1 is connected to a shunt-wound exciter 2. In the shunt field circuit of the exciter, a regulator is placed consisting of a solenoid 5<1> the winding 4<1> of which is connected across the exciter, a resistance 24 mounted upon an arm controlled by this solenoid, a solenoid 5 the winding of which is connected across the terminals of the alternator 1, and a contact 38 controlled by this solenoid. To quicken the action of this regulator by overcoming the self induction of its circuit, the secondary winding 49 of a transformer 51 is placed in the regulator circuit. The primary winding 45 of this transformer is placed in a circuit containing a source of current 50 and a variable liquid resistance 53 controlled by the action of a solenoid 52 having current and potential windings 44, 43 respectively. The action of the regulating arrangement is as follows. When the voltage of the alternator rises, the solenoids 5, 5<1> operate to increase the resistance 24 in the exciter field circuit, while the solenoid 52 operates simultaneously to vary the current in the primary winding 45 in such a way that the voltage induced in the secondary winding 49 acts in opposition to that of the exciter ; but, when the voltage of the generator falls, the resistance 24 is decreased, while the electromotive force induced in the secondary winding 49 aids the voltage of the exciter field circuit. In a modification shown in Fig. 1<a>, the secondary winding 49 of the transformer 51 is connected to a movable coil 54, the core of which is connected to a switch 55 arranged normally to convert a battery 64 in the exciter field circuit. The electromotive force of the battery 64 is intermediate between those of the batteries 63, 65. When the voltage of the alternator varies, the winding 54 is attracted or repelled by a winding 61, thereby switching in the battery 65 to increase the electromotive force in the exciter field circuit, or the battery 63 to decrease the electromotive force in that circuit. In this arrangement, the exciter 2 is preferably separately excited. The invention is also applicable to the regulation of the speed of electric motors.

Granted: 1910-02-04
Abstract: 2755. Schulz, O. Feb. 4. Plant. - In unipolar turbo-dynamos in which the turbine element and armature are combined in one unit and in which adjacent units run in opposite directions, the power supply is adjusted by admitting steam to both wheels from the outside, or by making the blade angles on one wheel smaller or by introducing reversing-buckets u, Fig. 6, so as to subject a wheel to successive steam admission. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, steam is admitted so as to give to the more heavily loaded central group a greater amount of energy. This is done as indicated by admitting it first to the central group either radially or tangentially.

Abstract: 16,093. Albert, E. March 15, [Convention date]. Contact printing-frames.-In contact printing-frames, the pressure is obtained by means of a number or series of leaf springs to obtain a more uniform distribution of pressure, particularlv when printing on metal plates. The series of leaf springs, Figs. 1 and 2, are supported between the sides f of the pressure frame, and a series of shorter springs a between the sides and a central longitudinal support t. The pressure frame is hinged at b and clamped down by a wing-nut c. The springs have a small downward curvature so that, when pressure is applied, they make wide contact over the surface to be pressed. The glass plate n supporting the screen o, negative p, and printing-surface h rests on the resilient padding m. The pressure springs press upon a rubber sheet i. In an alternative arrangement, there are two or more intermediate longitudinal supports u, v, and two or more series of parallel springs x, y supported in staggered relation to each other.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Priming of Mine or other Pumps.
Inventor: JACK FREDERIC BARRIE
Filed: 1909-09-06
Granted: 1910-09-06
Abstract: 20,355. Jack, F. B. Sept. 6. [Cognate Application, 25,282/09.] Priming.-In priming-devices for pumps which are controlled by the movement of the pump delivery valve, (1) passages c, d, Fig. 1, are formed in the spindle of a hinged non- return valve, so as to allow water to pass from the discharge to the suction of the pump when the valve is closed; and (2) the closing of the non-return valve is utilized to effect the opening of a relay valve which controls the priming- valve. The latter arrangement is shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The spindle s of the non-return valve carries a lever o with an adjustable screw q, which, when the valve is just closing, opens a relay valve l admitting pressure water from the pipe k through ports m, r to the chamber t. The piston f is thus raised, and the priming- valve e opened; the relay valve l is closed again by the tappet device shown, as soon as the piston f completes its upward stroke. The high pressure acting in the space above the valve now causes the valve to close slowly, the water beneath the piston f escaping either by leakage or through a small port v, so that the flow of priming-water only takes place during a limited period. Means are provided for equalizing the pressure on the two sides of the valve l, whether in its open or closed positions, or it may be held in one or other of these positions by a spring device. The priming-device may be thrown out of action by means of an adjustable cam p on the lever n, Fig. 2, which, when in the position shown, cannot contact with the screw q.
