Title: Improvements in Alternating Current Generators.
Inventor: SHAW JOHN GOODWIN
IPC: H02K19/32
Filed: 1912-05-02
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 10,427. Shaw, J. G., Shaw, C. R., and Sharp, H. G. May 2. Drawings to Specification. Dynamos, regulating.- To change the frequency of the currents generated by an alternator for wireless telegraphy &c., the fieldmagnet coils are arranged in two (or more) groups, and the direction of the current flowing through one (or more) may be reversed by means of a double-pole change-over switch. The fieldmagnet is thus excited either with alternate north and south poles or so that a pair of north poles is followed by a pair of south poles and so on, the number, of poles then being halved. The armature winding comprises two (or more) groups of coils which are connected in series by means of a double-pole change-over switch so that the direction of the current through one of said groups may be reversed, and, in addition, a number of supplementary coils having a wider span than the main armature coils and adapted to be connected with or disconnected from the main armature coils. To obtain the lower frequency, the field magnet is excited so as to produce the smaller number of poles, and the two groups of main armature coils are connected in series with the supplementary coils, the latter then serving to ensure the production of an electromotive-force wave of substantially sinusoidal shape. To produce the higher frequency, both double-pole switches are thrown over to reverse the connexions of groups of the field-magnet and armature coils, and the supplementary armature coils are cut out of circuit.

The centring is subdivided in parallel sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4<1>, 3<1>, 2<1>, 1<1>, Fig. 1, the width of each section being the projection of the arch portion of the corresponding voussoir stones, and the radial construction of the stone section for all possible arches being provided on the centring. A foundation ledge, Fig. 5, is provided having recesses v, x, y, z to receive the corner stones or skew backs of the various arches. In some cases the corner stones of an arch of one form each form one half of the key-stone of a similar or different arch.

The cylinder is provided with a regulating-screw o for regulating the amount of fuel delivered at each stroke, and with water jackets m<1>, n<1>. When the cylinder air is used the piston valve t remains open until the exhaust stroke, but otherwise an escape valve is necessary.

Title: A New or Improved Life-guard for use on Road Vehicles.
Inventor: BASTOW ISAAC
IPC: B60R21/34
Filed: 1913-08-12
Granted: 1914-07-02
Abstract: 18,289. Bastow, I. Aug. 12. Wheel-guards and obstruction-removers.-A life-guard for road vehicles is held raised by clips from which it is released (1) by the driver, (2) by contact of an obstacle with a trip bar, or (3) by the falling of an object upon the fender or upon the trip bar; the guard is supported so as to move with the steering-wheels. The fender a is connected to arms b pivoted at b<1> to parts which rotate about pins b<2> during steering movements, and is normally held in the raised position by links c connected to cranks f<1> on a shaft f. A crank f<2> also on the shaft f has an outstanding pin which normally is engaged by the spring clip g and prevents the weight of the fender from rotating the shaft f. A spring g<1> keeps closed the jaws of the clip and an adjustable bolt g<3> limits the closing of the jaws. A rod h with foot plate h<1> enables the driver to release the lever f<2> from the clip and thus lower the guard. The guard a is formed in several sections pivoted separately at a<2> and held in a rearward position by springs l. A trip-bar m for each section is connected through members n, cranks o<1>, q on a shaft o and links r to the crank f<2> so that rearward movement of the tripbars releases the fender. The weight of an obstacle on the fender or trip-bars lowers the guard through the link e and crank f<1>. A spring connected to a crank i on the shaft f tends to keep the fender lowered and a spring p connected to a crank o<2> on the shaft o assists the trip-bars to move rearwardly. The guard is connected by pivoted links s to the steering- axles.

Granted: 1914-09-29
Abstract: 21,875. Graham, J., and Robertshaw, F. Sept. 29. Intensifiers.-Comprises improvements in devices for modifying the pressure of the water'delivered by an accumulator, the application to calendering- machines for p r e s s i n g fabrics being mentioned. The cylinder 2, Figs. 1 and 4, supported by the frame 3, is supplied with pressure water from the accumulator through pipes 4, 4<a>. Water is conducted to the press cylinder by pipes 4<b>, 4<c>, while a connecting-pipe 4<d> controlled by a valve 7 is provided. The piston 5 and rod 5<a> move downward in supplying water at a reduced pressure to the presses, and at the end of the stroke, the rod 7b opens the valve 7, thus admitting full pressure water to the pipes 4<d>, 4<c>, and lower side of the piston 5, and forcing the piston 5 to the top of its stroke, whereupon the valve 7 is again closed. The pistons and rods 5, 5<a> may be made with different relative diameters so that they may be interchanged when a different pressure of water is required. Alternatively a series of cylinders with rods of varying diameters may be used, the appropriate one being selected for the pressure required. The interconnexion of the piston 5 and valve 7 is of particular utility for avoiding the shock that would otherwise occur when the pressure is relieved on the approach of a seam in the fabric to the calender rollers.

Abstract: 25,568. Fey, C. A. Nov. 8. Weighing-apparatus.-The upper arm 10 of a steelyard is normally hidden .by a shield 26, and, after balance has been obtained by moving the sliding weights by hand, a coin must be inserted to enable the shield to be raised so as to expose the scale on the upper arm, the steelyard being simultaneously locked in the balanced position. The steelyard is connected by a rod 23 to the .usual platform, and comprises graduated arms 10, 11 on which slide weights 17, 18, the upper arm being enclosed in a casing 5. When balance is obtained, a finger 15 on the steelyard is in alinement with a finger 16 on the framework. To raise the shield 26 and expose the scale through an aperture 24 in'the casing 5, the operator draws down a slide 36 after prepayment, thereby, through an arm 35, Fig. 4, and links 34, 33, rocking a shaft 31, which is connected to the shield by arms 30. Simultaneously, a projection 59, Fig. 5, on the slide rocks a spring-controlled lever 58 so as to throw the nose 57 of the lever into locking engagement with a notch 14 in the steelyard. A pivoted pawl engages a rack on the slide 36 and ensures a complete movement in either direction. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-A projection 41, on a spring-controlled pawl 40 pivoted to the slide 36, engages in an aperture 54 in the side 48 of the coin shoot and prevents further downward movement of the slide, unless an inserted coin, supported in the shoot by a second projection 43 on the pawl, serves as an abutment.
