Granted: 1911-05-02
Abstract: 10,782. Spirlet, X. de. May 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Roasting-furnaces; charges, agitating.-Roasting- furnaces for treating sulphurous ores, such as zinc sulphide, are formed with superposed refractory floors supported at the circumference, alternate floors being stationary and rotary respectively, and projections 20 are formed on the floors to cause the ore to travel towards peripheral or central passages 21, 22. The rotary floors 2, 4, 6, 8 are formed with peripheral racks meshing with pinions 18 on a vertical shaft 17, and are supported by rollers 13 which travel on rails 14 carried by columns 10. These columns, which also support the fixed floors, are arranged at the angles of a polygon formed by connecting bars around the furnace. By altering the proportion between the pinions and the racks, the different floors may be driven at various speeds. The upper fixed floor 1, which is lined with a non-conducting covering, carries the oredistributing apparatus, and is formed with a fume outlet 15. Beneath the lowest floor 9 are arranged the furnace, the smoke and air flues, and the pit for receiving the finished material. At their edges the floors are provided with an air and gas seal comprising an annular trough 29 containing pulverulent material or liquid and provided with a cylindrical extension dipping into a similar trough below.
Patent GB-191014681-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus, Controllable from a Distance, for Automatically Operating Gas Burners.
Inventor: ROBSON GEORGE
IPC: F23Q21/00
Filed: 1909-03-27
Granted: 1910-06-27
Abstract: 14,681. Robson, G. March 27, 1909. Valves controlled from, a distance. - Relates to improvements in automatic gas lighting and extinguishing apparatus of the type described in Specification 20,109/07, [Class 75, Lamps &c.], in which two weights are caused to act upon an expansible casing, whereby one weight may be put out of action so that the valve may be turned off at a lower pressure than the pressure required for turning the valve on. According to the invention, the gas cock is operated through an increase of pressure only, instead of an increase and then a decrease. For lighting, the gas pressure is raised sufficiently for the diaphragm w to lift the weighted overlapping levers 1. By means of a pawl 20 on the lever 1, a locking lever q is raised so that a pin p and projection 13 are respectively released from a pin o and notch of the worm shaft m and disk 14. The clock-work mechanism is thereby released and the valve u turned on. At the same time a shaft e is rotated and a cam f releases the diaphragm from the action of one of the weighted levers 1. When the valve is turned on, the clock-work mechanism is stopped by the lever q again engaging the notched disk 14. To permit of this at the proper time, the pawl 20 is removed laterally from the path of the lever q by the action of a lever 26 which is raised by a pin 28 a little in advance of the notch to thrust the pawl away. At midnight, when the pressure is reduced, the weight of the lever 1 causes the diaphragm to contract, and the pawl is lowered and assumes a position ready for again releasing the clock-work. This occurs when the pressure is increased sufficiently to expand the diaphragm against the action of the single weighted lever, after which both weights act on the diaphragm. A modified form of pawl 20 is shown in Fig. 6. In a modification, in which a double cam disk shown in Fig. 7 is used, the arrangement is similar to that described in Specification 7434/09, a lower locking pin on the lever 1 engaging with a projection on the worm shaft. In operation, the diaphragm is relieved of one weighted lever by the step 17 of the cam as the valve is being turned on, the diaphragm then expanding against the reduced weight to stop the mechanism. At the decrease in the gas pressure which occurs at a later stage, the locking pin is withdrawn and the locking lever q engages with the disk 14. By the subsequent increase of pressure, the valve is closed, the lower step 18 of the cam then operating so that the diaphragm picks up the second weighted lever and cannot expand sufficiently to lock the clock-work mechanism by the locking pin. At the end of this movement, both levers are returned to duty.

Abstract: 1942. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Jan. 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Alternating-current commutator machines.- The power-factor of polyphase commutator machines, having the armature brushes connected in series with the stator windings either directly or through transformers, is improved both by varying the ratio between the stator and rotor ampere-turns and by suitably adjusting the brushes, either simultaneously or alternately. In a six-brush connexion, Fig. 1, points a a', b b<1>, and c c<1> on the secondary windings of variable-ratio transformers T are connected to the similarly-lettered armature brushes, which are displaced by an angle # with respect to the corresponding stator windings Sa, Sc, &c. Induction regulators or auto-transformers may be employed, or the numbers of turns of the stator windings may be adjusted. The series transformers may be placed upon the stator of the motor and arranged so that they do not affect the rotary field of the motor. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the saturation of the transformers may be selected so that the speed of the motors may be limited, or choking- coils may be connected in parallel with the armatures for this purpose.

Abstract: 11,738. Celst, L. van. May 14, 1910, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Variable - speed friction gearing.- Dynamos, particularly for charging accumulators for lighting m o t o rcars, railway carriages, &c., are kept at constant speed by driving them through a cone and friction disk. The cone f is on the driving-shaft e, and the disk g can slide on, but is capable of driving, the dynamo shaft h; its position on the shaft h with reference to the cone f is determined by the governor device n, o so that, as the speed of the dynamo increases, the disk is moved towards the small end of the cone, and thus the speed is kept constant. The ccne f can be forced by the spring s out of engagement with the disk g when the spring-controlled key r is depressed into a groove in the shaft e. This is done by the driver by means of the hand control x consisting of a roller y carried on a rod w in a tube u. On depressing the rod w, the roller forces the key r home, and the spring s forces the cone out of engagement with the disk g. To engage again, the lever w is pulled about the pivot t so that a prolongation z on the axis of the wheel y can force the cone back against the spring s. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the cone s may be disengaged automatically from the disk g by the direct action of a maximum and minimum switch ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
