Granted: 1906-03-22
Abstract: 374. Kelley, W. Van D. Aug. 30, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Switches, thermal, particularly adapted for intermittently flashing the lamps of an electric advertisement sign, consist of a triangular frame of metal, the base of which is fixed, and the sides of which may be of different metals riveted at the apex, which carries an electric contact. A heating-coil upon one of the sides of the triangular frame causes the apex to move to one side, breaking or completing an electric circuit. Upon an insulating-bracket 2 is fixed a triangular frame composed of two legs 5, 6 of similar or dissimilar metals. The limbs are secured together at 7, and provided with a contact 13 adapted to engage the adjustable screw contact 14, to which one of the leads of the main circuit is connected. Upon one of the legs is mounted a heating-coil 9 connected at one end to the screw 3 and to the main circuit, and at the other to the adjustable screw contact 14. The expansion of the leg carrying the heating-coil causes the apex to tilt and complete the main circuit, thereby short-circuiting the heating-coil. By suitably proportioning the heating-coil relatively to the lamps, the latter may, when the heating-coil is included in the circuit, be dimmed to any extent. The connexions may be arranged to break both the heating and the main circuit.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Variable Speed Gears and Change Speed Mechanism particularly for Cycles and the like.
Inventor: BLAIR WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-02-26
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 4639. Blair, W. Feb. 26. Variable-speed gearing; clutches.- Variable-speed gear of the sun-and-planet type for cycles &c. is changed by back-pedalling through an arrangement of pawls engaging ratchet teeth upon the driving- sleeve. Thus, with the parts in the position shown in Fig. 1, pawls P<2>, carried by a freely-mounted sleeve 7, are in engagement with ratchet teeth upon the in ternally-toothed member 3 and with the driving- sleeve 8, so that, the sun-pinion 1 being permanently fixed, the hub is driven at low speed through a friction clutch 10, 11 operated by a screw-thread upon the carrier 4, 5. By back-pedalling slightly, the pawls P<2> are turned out of engagement with the driving-sleeve, while other pawls P<1> are brought into position ready for engagement therewith, so that, on forward-pedalling, drive takes place between the parts 8, 5, and the hub is driven at high speed through a ball clutch 14. Back-pedalling still further brings the parts into such a position that, on forward - pedalling, pawls P<3> drive the hub direct through ratchet teeth 6. To keep the balls 14 out of operation when the hub is being driven at low speed, an extension 3<A> of the part 3 has slots 3<C>, Fig. 2, to receive projections 3<D> upon the ratchet ring 3<B>, so that the initial movement of the ring carries the projections to the ends of the slots, where they hold the clutch balls inoperative until the pressure upon the pedals is relieved, when springs (not shown) return the ring to its normal position, as shown in Fig. 2. A spring 13 tends to keep the parts 10, 11 in contact. To prevent the sleeve 7 from moving in a backward direction when the gear is being changed, a light spring or other brake may be arranged between the hub and the sleeve.; or, as shown in Fig. 4, a spring 7<A> carried by the sleeve may engage the sun-pinion. The balls 14 may be replaced by rocking pawls mounted in the extension 3A, the ring 3B being provided with projections adapted to compress return springs in the extensions and with circular recesses or projections by which the pawls are turned out of operation for the low gear. A ratchet ring engaged by pawls upon the hub may be used instead of the friction clutch 10,11.

Abstract: 7490. Conrad, F. April 3, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Electro-magnets. -To prevent chattering of the armature of an electro-magnet excited by alternating current, the magnetic flux is divided up into several portions by the use of metal bands around the pole-pieces or by excitation of a portion of the divided poles by current from the main source but retarded in phase. The laminated core structure 1 is magnetized by the winding 3 from the alternating-current source 4 so as to attract the armature 2. Surrounding portions of the pole-pieces 7, 8 are loops or coils 9 of conducting-material in which currents are induced, serving to delay the flux from the portions surrounded by the loops behind the flux from the remaining portions of the pole-pieces. The coils 9 may be connected in series. In a modification, the poles are divided, the portions 5, 6 being provided with windings 17 which are connected to the source through phaseretarding devices.

Chlorides of arylthioglycollic acids represented by the general formula RS CH, CO Cl, in which R signifies a simple or substituted benzene or naphthalene residue, such as phenyl, o and p-tolyl, and alpha and #-naphthyl, are obtained by acting upon the corresponding acids with phosphorus pentachloride, oxychloride, or trichloride. It is stated that the acids may be obtained in the wellknown manner by the action of chloracetic acid or its esters upon the corresponding thiophenols, arylsulphocyanides, or arylxanthogenates. Dyes, artificial.-The acid chlorides are converted into leuco thioindigo bodies by the action of aluminium chloride. The condensation is preferably carried out in the absence of air, for example in vacuo, or in the presence of an indifferent gas such as hydrogen, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide. Instead of first isolating the acid chloride and then preparing the leuco body, the addition of aluminium chloride to the arylthioglycollic-acid reaction mixture yields the leuco body in a single operation. On treatment with an oxidizing-agent, the leuco bodies yield thioindigo dye-stuffs, as is known.
