Abstract: 2364. K÷hler, F. M. Jan. 31. Metals, obtaining; cells; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating.-Two anodes of metal to be refined are clamped against the ends of an insulating-frame R so as to form a cell. The frame has a slot for the cathode, inlet and outlet pipes VI and a vent V. Several cells may be arranged between an upper tank WI, optionally provided with a heater, and a lower tank WII provided with a sludge collector and filters. The tanks are connected by liquid pumps, and may be exhausted of air if required, so that proto-salts of the metal may be formed or preserved in the electrolyte, which may be neutral or alkaline. The anodes consist of inner cast plates and of thin outer plates of hard rolled metal, which are used repeatedly. Rubber packing is employed. The anodes rest throughout their lengths on insulated conductors D let into a platform on which the cells rest. The frames may be wholly or partly transparent.

Abstract: 13,123. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 30. Protective arrangements.-A single automatic circuit-breaker g controls the mains e, f which supply a number of motors a, a<1>, &c. by way of common bus bars c, d. An overload on any one of the motor circuits causes a relay h to short-circuit the low voltage release coil m of the circuitbreaker g which then cuts off the supply to all the motors. An interlock coil n prevents the resetting of the circuit-breaker g until all the controllers b, b' &c. have been returned to their zero positions. The common circuit-breaker g may be actuated directly by series windings in each motor circuit instead of by the relays h.

Title: Improvements in the Ward Leonard System for Electric Motors.
IPC: H02P7/34
Filed: 1910-09-23
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 22,110. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Sept. 23. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power.-In the Ward-Leonard system for electric motors, for driving, conveying, rolling, and other similar plant, the generator and motor field windings b, a are connected in series across constant-voltage supply mains n, and the armature h of an auxiliary dynamo excited by a winding c carrying the load current is connected across the generator or motor field winding. By this arrangement, when the load-current increases, the generator field is automatically weakened, and the motor field is automatically strengthened. The auxiliary dynamo h, which is either on the main shaft of the generator g, or is driven separately, either electrically or mechanically, is partly excited by a field winding d connected through a resistance r to the mains n. The windings c, d oppose each other. A reversing- switch u is coupled directly with the controller r. The voltage of the dynamo h acts in opposition to the voltage of the mains n. In a modification particularly applicable for use with motors operating cranes &c., the controller r is connected in series with the field windings a, b, and the armature h is connected in parallel with the controller r and the field b. When the motor m is running in the direction which calls for the lower speed and increased turning- moment, the field windings c, d oppose, and when the direction of rotation is reversed, they assist each other. A part only of the field windings a, b need be connected in series, and the controller r may be inserted in the circuit of the winding d, Fig. 2, or in the circuit of the winding b, Fig. 1. The auxiliary dynamo h may be connected in parallel with the motor field a, in which case the field winding d, Fig. 2, may be dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Weighing Machines.
Inventor: VIKTOR STEINDL
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1911-07-19
Abstract: 16,593. Steindl, V., and Gr÷ger, G. July 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Automatic-feed weighers.-Consists in operating the parts by mechanism independently of, but set in operation by the movement of, the scale beam. The material is fed into a hopper a by means of worms c, d and falls upon a slide b carried by one arm q of a bell-crank lever q, q<1>. The arm q is connected by a link c and lever f to a clutch g so that the worm c is stopped when the slide b opens, the feed being completed by the continuously running worm d. Assuming the requisite weight to have entered the weighing-receptacle h, the beam i in sinking brings a projection m on a spring-pressed rod j into temporary engagement with a rotating toothed wheel n, and the rod j is pressed backwards and downwards, thereby tripping a catch s and allowing the slide b to close under the influence of a weight. The receptacle is at the same time tilted to discharge its contents by contact with a stop p. The closing of the slide b, besides re-starting the worm c moves a link 5 and by means of a lever 4 slides the part 1 of a clutch into engagement with the part 3. The part 3 is thereby rotated, and is also moved longitudinally by a pin 13 working in a helical groove 15, with the result .that a pin 8 engages a lever 9 and returns the lever 4, link 5, and slide b to the open position, a second pin 18 re-engaging the hook s and arm q<1> by means of a rod 29. At the completion of one revolution of the clutch, the pin 13 snaps into the helical groove and a spring ‹16 disengages the clutch parts, and the various operations are repeated.
