Patent GB-191016334-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in "a Central Energy Electrical Signalling System."
Inventor: GOLDSTEIN ALBERT
IPC: G08B29/18
Filed: 1910-07-08
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 16,334. Goldstein, A., and Pool, C. July 8. Fire, police, and like alarm systems. - In alarm systems of the kind in which a codewheel transmitter is operated by a thermostatic device, the releasing - magnets are controlled from t h e thermostat by currents of a definite frequency, which give a greater movement to the armature than the continuous current caused by a fault. A normallyclosed metallic circuit is completed from the battery 1 at the central station, through the indicator relay 3, and lead 7, to terminal 61, thence through one winding of relay 25 to terminal 62, and also through the other winding of relay 25 to contact 28, springs 33, 34, contact 60, lead 64, contact 29, contact 46, magnet 43, lead 66, contact 48, and lead 67 to terminal 62, and then through the code transmitter back to the central station. The thermostat consists of a metal cup 52 with a vent at 53 and closed by a diaphragm 55. When the rate of increase of temperature exceeds a certain limit, the contact 56 on the diaphragm reaches the contact 57, and a circuit is closed from the lead 66 through the thermostat, the contacts 57, 59, and the magnet 31, to the spring 34. This circuit short-circuits the magnet 43, and unbalances the neutral relay 25, consequently breaking contact at 28, 29 and bringing the magnets 35, 36 into circuit. The armature 32 is now set in vibration, and sends impulses to the magnets 35, 36. The spring armatures 37, 38 respond sufficiently to break contact at 39, 40, 41, 42, thus breaking the short - circuit across the magnets 22, 23, and causing them to release the catch 20 and start the code-wheel. When a fault occurs in the leads 64, 66, the magnet 25 is unbalanced, but the continuous current through the magnets 35, 36 does not cause the armatures 37, 38 to break contact at 39, 40, 41, 42. In the case of a crossing of wires 66, 64, or of a ground on wire 64, the magnet 31 does not receive sufficient current to energize it, but a further movement of the thermostat contact 56 breaks contact at 60, thereby bringing the magnet 30 into circuit to operate the vibrator as before.

Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 3109. Lessing, R., and Gibbons Bros. Feb. 7. Purifiers; purifier waste, revivefying.-In a gas-purifier of the vertical type, the purifying- material, which practically fills the iron casing a, is supported by stationary horizontal grids e, the bars of which are so spaced as to afford support to the purifying-material without interfering sensibly with the flow of gas or the downward progression of the purifying-material through the apparatus. Stirrers l having blades l<1> are attached to a central shaft h and, upon rotation of the shaft, loosen the purifying- material, which is eventually discharged either directly to a discharge pit or by a conveyer m to an elevator o<1>. As the material is raised by the elevator, it is subjected to a current of air in the trunk p, and is thus revivefied before being delivered to the hopper f and re-used. Non-combustible gas may be supplied through the pipe s to the conveyer m to prevent the formation of an explosive mixture in the elevator trunk.

Abstract: 10,758. Newton, F. May 3. [Addition to 15,423/10.] Exciting.- In one construction, the correcting-flux dependent upon the differential action of saturated and unsaturated magnetic field circuits is caused to operate upon a separate armature. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, separate armatures 28, 29 are provided for the saturated and unsaturated fields 31, 32 respectively, the correcting-flux in the winding 35 operating upon the armature 30. In a modification shown in Fig. 3, the difference of flux in the saturated and unsaturated magnetic circuits 43, 44 is applied to the exciter armature 45. The windings 43, 44 may be connected in parallel with the main armature 42 for constant potential or in series for constant current. The winding 41 may be connected across the armatures 42, 45 in series, or simply across the armature 45. The latter armature may function as the main armature. The machines described in the parent Specification may also be used as constant - current machines by exciting them with the main current. In another modification the separate fields may operate upon separate armature conductors on a common core by making the saturated and unsaturated magnetic fields of different numbers of poles and providing the armature with windings of corresponding numbers of poles. In a further modification, the correcting-winding may be wound on the yoke of the field magnets instead of on the pole-pieces.

Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 11,045. Hirst, J. A., and Brook, P. S. May 8. Controllers, actuating-mechanism and interlocking-devices for.-A motor controller A may be operated by gear located in or on the controller, or, alternatively, by a remote-control device B, which operates through shafting connected to it by bevel, chain, or like gear. For controlling the speed of a fan from a stokehold, for example, the remote-control device B comprises a pointer f fixed to the operating-shaft b' and moving over a graduated dial F. The shaft b' is operated in steps by ratchet gear. An oscillating hand-lever E carries a weighted pawl e<2>, which rides over a mask e<3>, and, towards the end of its stroke, engages a tooth on a ratchet-wheel e<1>, fast on the shaft b<1>, to move it and the controller through one step. The circuit-breakers a<2> at the controller A are closed at starting by a push-button C, which causes a switch behind the dial F to connect two leads 1, 2 and energize their operating- windings. A lamp D behind a window in the remote-control device is thereupon lit through a third lead 3 energized by the closing of the circuit-breakers. Before the button C can be operated, however, a notch h<2> in a disk H secured to the shaft b<1> must register therewith, and this can only happen in the off ' position of the gear. To bring the device into this position, a loose hand-wheel G having a crank g' may be caused to turn the shaft b<1> backwards by means of a stud h<1> in the disk H. The handwheel is rendered inoperative to effect a forward movement of the gear by means of a stud g<4> upon it and a lug g' on the dial F.
