Patent GB-190702930-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Devices for Operating Electric Circuit Breakers.
Inventor: SUGDEN JAMES
Filed: 1907-02-06
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 2930. Sugden, J., and Rodway, E. D. Feb. 6. Switches.-In electric circuit - breakers depending on the action between a series electro-magnet and a shunt electromagnet or a permanent magnet, a retarder is used to prevent failure owing to reversal of the latter magnets under heavy reversals in the series coil. In Fig. III, the series coil 2 is shown wound over the retarder 14 which consists of a conducting-sheath. The keeper 3 is a permanent magnet or the core of a shunt electro-magnet. On reversal, currents are induced in the sheath 14, and they die away after permitting the keeper 3 to release the detent 8. The stud 15 then releases the trip lever 16, thus opening the circuit. In Fig. IV, the release of the detent 8 completes the circuit of the tripping-coil 22. A retarder may be placed upon the keeper 3 instead of, or in addition to, placing it upon the electro-magnet. To permit adjustment for different overloads, a portion of the magnetic path is made removable to introduce an air gap. The invention may also be applied to under-load cut-outs.

Filed: 1907-02-11
Granted: 1908-04-11
Abstract: 3358. Blake, L. I. Feb. 11. Signals, marine and ship.-In submarine sound signalling, high-frequency vibrations of the order of sixteen to thirty thousand per second are used, these vibrations being produced by changes of volume of the sound-producing body rather than by changes in its shape. In one form of soundproducer, a heavy iron casting C, Fig. 1, is immersed in water and is thrown into vibration by a narrow jet of water under high pressure, escaping from a slot in the pipe D and impinging upon the bevelled part B. A water-actuated leaden soundproducing device, resembling an ordinary tiii whistle, may also be used. In this case the pitch of the note does not depend on the length of the pipe. The receiving-microphone may consist of a carbon plate H, Fig. 3, resting upon two similar plates F, G, clamped to a thick oak block K.

Abstract: 28,406. Mees, C. E. K., and Wratten, & Wainwright. Dec. 24. Coloured photography; screens. - Screens for colour photography, which may be used separately, or may be coated with a panchromatic emulsion for direct use, are formed by the differential staining of a sensitized colloid film after exposure and partial hardening under a graduated screen. A gelatine film deeply stained with a dye, such as patent blue, is. exposed under a screen having opaque, semi-opaque, and transparent lines or elements, and is then washed till the dye is completely removed from the unhardened parts, and partly removed from the partly hardened parts. The screen is then immersed in a bath of a yellow dye, which stains the clear parts yellow, and converts the parts retaining a little blue into green. When subsequently immersed in a deep red dye, such as carmine, the yellow is converted into scarlet, thus yielding a scarlet, green, and blue linescreen. When starting with an unstained film, a bath of a dye, such as a chrome mordant dye, which stains only hardened gelatine, is first employed.

Title: Improvements in Pumps and Fluid Actuated Motors.
Inventor: WILLIAMS HARVEY DANIEL
Filed: 1907-06-15
Granted: 1908-06-15
Abstract: 11,977. Williams, H. D. June 15, 1907. Revolving - cylinder pumps; stroke, varying. - Relates to motors and pumps of the type in which a number of cylinders rotate against a stationary valve plate and are fitted with reciprocating pistons the stroke of which can be varied by altering the inclination of a swash-plate relatively to the axis of the shaft, and consists in means for securing smooth and uniform running. This object may be effected in four ways, namely by spacing the cylinder ports unevenly relatively to the cylinders, by arranging the sockets of the swash-plate ring at different distances from the centre of the ring, by employing cylinders of different diameters, or by spacing the cylinders or sockets at unequal distances apart. The apparatus comprises a casing 1, Fig. 1, closed at the end by a valve plate 2, against which work the cylinders 14 keyed upon a shaft 5 passing through the casing. In the example shown, nine cylinders are employed, each provided with an elongated port 16, Fig. 4, at the end, one of which is arranged centrally relatively to its cylinder while the others are disposed slightly to one side or the other of the central position. The arrangement of the ports is similar in those cylinders which are similarly disposed relatively to the central cylinder. The valve seats are arranged to project slightly so as to leave a free space 17 between the cylinders and plate 2, and the valve ports in the plate are pointed at the ends in order that they may open gradually. The pistons 18 are provided with sockets to receive the connecting-rods 19, through which run small passages for lubricating the sockets in the swash-plate. These are carried in a socket ring 23 connected by trunnions 23<a> to a ring 25 swivelled on the shaft 5, and running on balls 31 mounted in the non-rotatable inclined ring 33. The ring 33 can be tilted to any desired angle by scroll gearing 34, 35 worked from the disk 38. The circle formed by the sockets is preferably of larger diameter than that formed by the cylinders, so that the connecting-rods 19 may be parallel to the shaft when the swash-plate is inclined.
