Title: Improvements relating to Pressure Gauges.
Inventor: TURNER HENRY
Filed: 1908-10-30
Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 23,107. Turner, H. Oct. 30. Pressure gauges.-In a pressure gauge attachment for an air compressor, or an inflator for pneumatic tyres, communication with the gauge is established upon directly depressing the gauge by hand. A passage D in a body A connects the pump B to the gauge C. A collar E forms a seating for two valves I, J, the valve J being normally held to its seat by a spring K so as to shut off communication between the gauge and the pump. The valve I is mounted upon a spindle H which is screw-threaded into a plunger F. The plunger F to which the gauge is secured has an air passage so that when the gauge is depressed the valve I is seated and the valve J is opened. Communication between the gauge and the pump is then established through the passage D, the space between the valve spindle H and the collar E, and the passage in the plunger F. The air space in the body may be enlarged ; or an intermediate chamber with a diminished inlet may be employed therewith.

Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 9238. Chaney, G. C. April 19. Testing.-In a method of and apparatus for measuring or testing the constancy of such qualities as the weight or thickness of sheet materials like paper or cloth, a receiver, arranged on one side of the material, is adapted to receive the energy which passes through the material from a constant source of radiant energy, the receiver being in communication with an electrical appliance for indicating the variations in the weight or other quality of the material. An arrangement of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 1, in which an electric light l is the source of heat, and a thermopile p forms the receiver, which is connected to the indicating-means or galvanometer g. The material m passes between two sets of rollers c, and the frame carrying the rollers is mounted on a pivot h so that it can be swung away from the material. When a sheet of material is made in a machine, the composition may be regarded as constant, so that the indications will be of thickness. An increase in the amount of material introduced into the machine, or an increase of moisture, results in a variation of density and therefore of weight, which will be similarly indicated. The apparatus is also used to compare the weight of a material with that of a material of standard weight.

Abstract: 10,913. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens Schuckertwerke]. May 3. Systems depending on the use of auxiliary machines.- In systems in which an induction motor is supplied through a frequency transformer, such as those described in Specifications 24,269/09, and 6125/10, [Class 35, Dynamo - electric generators &c.], the power-factor regulation of the external circuit, which is effected by relatively displacing the voltage phases of the commutator and slip rings, takes place automatically as a result of changes due to the speed or load of the motor or to the power factor of the system. Fig. 2 shows an induction motor m supplied through a frequency transformer f, which is driven by an asynchronous motor h and connected to the mains through a variableratio transformer t. The latter is adjusted, and the stator of the motor is moved angularly by rods r<1>, r<2>, the lower ends of which slide in slots in the frame k, which may be moved in either direction. In the case of a commutator machine, the rods respectively operate the variable-ratio transformer supplying the brushes, and shift the brushes. When the rod r<1> is in its highest position, a reversing- switch in the circuit of the transformer t is operated by the motion of the frame k. Instead of the frame k, solenoids k<1>, Fig. 3, fed from a series transformer s, and k<2> supplied from the sliding contacts of the transformer t, may be used; in this case, the solenoid k<1> shifts the brushes of the frequency transformer. In a modification in which the frequency transformer is supplied direct from the transformer t, a solenoid is employed to adjust a phase transformer in the stator-winding circuit of the frequency transformer, and is fed from a series transformer, or from the sliding contacts of t, according as regulation is required with variation of load or speed. In another modification, the motor h is supplied from two transformers in series, the primaries being respectively connected to the sliding contacts of t and in series with the leads to the motor m. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, a phase indicator p is used to operate a reversing-switch q controlling a motor n, which, by worm gearing, determines the position of the stator h. Fig. 7 shows a further modification, in which the transformer t has two secondaries s<1>, s<2>, star or delta connected, and arranged so that, for any one phase, two windings of different phases are in series.
