Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Arc Lamps.
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1912-12-05
Granted: 1913-10-09
Abstract: 28,122. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Dec. 5. Arc lamps.-A flame-are or other lamp, in which the length of the arc is not regulated during burning, is connected to the terminals of an inductive device, such as an inductance transformer, or autotransformer, which is placed in the alternating- current supply circuit. The inductive device normally supplies the varying quantity of energy required by the are, but when the latter becomes excessively long the induction passes the point of magnetic saturation and fails to supply energy ; the arc then goes out and a fresh one of a definite length is struck. When on open circuit, the inductive device, being magnetically saturated during the greater part of each current wave, produces short high-pressure impulses which serve to puncture any slag that may separate the electrodes. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, current passes from the auto-transformer 36 to the electrodes through a solenoid 10, the core of which is connected to a dash-pot 16 and a counterweighted lever 25, pivoted to a stationary bracket 26. A clutch 30 of the double-pawl type is also pivoted to the lever 25 and acts on a chain 6 which passes over a pulley 7 and carries both electrodes. Stops limit the rise and fall of the clutch. The clutch may alternatively act on the upper electrode directly. An electro-magnet may be connected in parallel with the solenoid through a switch which is only closed when the core of the solenoid is raised ; a pivoted armature of the electro-magnet.is then brought under a projection on the core so as to assist in holding up the clutch, the energy loss being simultaneously reduced by the shunting of the solenoid. One or both electrodes may contain titanium or its carbide or a mixture of these ; for instance the upper electrode may be a plain carbon and the lower a thin metal tube containing a mixture of 96 parts of titanium carbide, 3 parts of copper oxide, and 1 part of lithium fluoride. With such electrodes the arc pressure fluctuates considerably.

Abstract: 3766. Grubb, Sir H., and Bouverie, S. P. Feb. 13. Reflector signals; flash signals. - Signalling between a fixed station and a movable one, such as an air-ship, is effected by means of a light-projecting apparatus at the fixed station, and tetragonal reflector devices, at the movable station, of the kind described in Specification 21,856/03, which throw back the beam of light in the direction of its arrival. A group of the reflector devices may be arranged under the air-ship, their axes diverging like the generating-lines of a vertical cone, so as to permit signalling towards any quarter of the horizon, and the whole group may be occulted by a single shutter device, shown in Fig. 7, to produce signals which may be read only by an observer adjacent to the source of light. The light-projector comprises a sighting-tube or telescope i, Fig. 2, which automatically follows the direction of the projected beam, and which is equipped with an eye-piece p and right-angled prism r to enable the observer to keep a vertical look - out without discomfort. The projector may comprise a rotatable tripod support carrying (1) a lantern, (2) an occulting-device for signalling to the air-ship, (3) a mirror f, rotatable on a horizontal axis to vary the elevation of the projected beam, and (4) the sighting- tube i, which is geared by drums j, o, k and straps m, n so as to turn through twice as great an angle as the mirror f. In a simpler form, the sighting-tube is mounted direct on the projecting-lantern, which is itself rotatable.

Abstract: 5874. Huttenlocher, F., and Laufer, R. June 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Index hands and pointers.-An actuating- device for the index hands of a measuring- instrument, which may, for example, be actuated by means of the float of a benzine reservoir for use on motor-cars and the like, has a spring mechanism formed in two parts and connected at a point intermediate the ends to the index, whereby the index receives a movement less than that imparted to the driven member. In one arrangement, as shown in Fig. 1, two springs a, b are employed. The spring a is connected at one end through an arm h and collar c<1> to a pulley d, which receives the indications, and is attached at the other end to a hook i or the like mounted on a drum f on the spindle of which the index pointer z is secured. The other spring b is attached to a similar hook k and to an arm l fixed on a bracket r<3>, but is mounted in opposition to the spring a. In a modification, shown in Fig. 5, a single spring y<1> is used, and the index pointer z' is connected to an intermediate part by means of an arm x and clamp k<1>. A second pointer z<2> is provided and is actuated directly by the pulley d.

When weftreplenishment occurs, a lever 14 is rocked by connexion with the transferrer, so that, on the beat-up, a spring-controlled threaded rod 22 is actuated. By means of a lever 19, a cam or cambar 18, Figs. 2, 5, 7 and 8, is reciprocated in a guide in the lay, so as to act on downwardlyextending levers 29, 33, whereby the jaws 27, 31 are raised. The weft-end is moved under these jaws by a pin 18', and, as the movement of the bar 18 continues, the lever 33 enters a recess 18a in the bar, so that the jaw 31 is lowered by the spring 34 and the weft-end is clamped. Subsequently, the lever 29 enters a recess 18b in the bar, and the jaw 27 is lowered to cut the weft-end.
