Granted: 1909-06-07
Abstract: 12,326. Stern, M. June 12, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Converting alternating and direct currents.-To regulate the speed of induction motors by changing the number of poles from 8<n> to 6<n>, one winding is employed and the connexions are changed from the 8<n> pole three-phase winding shown in Figs. 1 and 2, to the 6<n> pole two-phase winding .shown in Figs. 4 and 3. The pole surface enclosed by the coil 1<a> of the first phase contains one side of the coils 2<c>, 3 belonging to the second and third phases respectively. All the elements of the windings are used before as well as after commutation. The two-phase motor, after the change in connexions, can be supplied with current from the three-phase circuit, by connecting one phase with an auto-transformer supplied with current from the wires 1, 3, and the other phase with the wire 2 and the centre of the transformer ; or one end terminal of the phase is connected to the central terminal of the other phase, and the free terminals of both phases to the wires 1, 2, 3, with or without the addition of equalizing-resistances. The rotor of the machine may have a drum winding, and may also be provided with two three-phase windings, of 8 and 6 poles respectively. Two motors provided with stators wound according to the invention and with double-wound rotors can be regulated by cascade and parallel connexions to give five different speeds.

Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 13,562. Denison, J. R., Preussner, J. F., and Banks, J. W. June 25. Piling yarns and fabrics in rope form.-Relates to apparatus for piling piece-goods in rope form, warps, yarns, &c., the piled goods being placed in vats or pits. A pair of travelling carriages 28 mounted on rollers are supported on girders or cross-beams 5, and carry a main shaft 3 from which a winch 1 is suspended by links or brackets 2. The rotation of the winch is effected by belt gearing operated from a pulley on the shaft 3. The shaft 3 carries a driving-pulley 6 and second pulley 7 from which a second parallel shaft 8 is driven. The shaft 8 carries disks 10 and connecting-rods 11 or equivalent adjustable means by which an oscillating motion perpendicular to its axis can be imparted to the winch 1. The winch-supports 2 are connected by cross-rods, from one of which are suspended brackets 17 carrying the pot-eyes 18. The brackets 17 are connected by a cross-link 20 By means of cam mechanism operated from a worm-wheel on the shaft 3, a swinging motion is given to the rods 17, thus giving to the pot-eyes 18 a to-and-fro motion parallel to the axis of the winch. The driving-belt &c. 33 passes over pulleys 34 and over the driving-pulley 6 as shown, one of the pulleys 34 being driven from any source of power. The carriage 28 may be retained in any desired position along the beams 5 by means of a locking-pin 40, which is passed through a hole in the depending bracket 38 into a corresponding hole in one of the plates 39. The pleated goods after leaving the winch are piled in the pits &c. 36.

Patent GB-190818752-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Sounding Apparatus
Inventor: ANDROVIC PETER
Filed: 1908-09-07
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 18,752. Androvic, P. Sept. 7. Sounding - apparatus.- A mercury column in a barometer - like v e s s e l adapted to be lowered beneath the surface of the water cuts out or brings into circuit some of the windings of a resistance coil according as the mercury rises or falls with variations of pressure, the resistance coil being connected to an ohm-meter, the pointer of which indicates or registers the depth of water. The barometer-like vessel is contained in a hollow ball 1, Figs. 1 and 3, having water-inlet openings 2, and comprises a vessel 3 communicating through openings 6 with an upwardly-tapering tube 5, which is closed at the top by a cap 8. In the tube 5 is a central pin 9 of non- conducting material, such as ebonite, carrying a twowire resistance coil 12. The two branches of the wire are insulated from one another, and the wire is led from a cable 13 up the centre of the pin 9 and then passes as a doublewound coil on the outside of and surrounding the pin H down to beneath the level of the mercury at atmospheric pressure. As the sounder is lowered into the water, the mercury rises in the tube 5 and short-circuits some of the windings of the resistance coil 12, the alteration in the resistance being indicated by an ohm-meter 14, Fig. 1, the pointer 16 of which indicates upon a scale the depth of water or registers it upon a strip 17, which is fed at a speed proportional to the speed of the vessel, so that an exact representation of the form of the sea bed may be obtained by allowing the plummet ball 1 to remain continuously in contact with tbe bottom. The cable 13 is adapted to be wound upon a shaft 28. In order to maintain the mercury vessel 3, 5 in a vertical position, it is suspended by means of two radial arms 18, Fig. 3, and bolts 19 in a ling 20, which is supported by two pivots 21, Fig. 4, arranged diametrally and at right-angles to the bolts 19. The pivots 21 pass through the walls of the ball 1 and rest in eyes 22 formed in a supporting-strap 23, which is used for raising or lowering the apparatus and for moving it along the bottom by means of a chain 24, Fig. 1. In order to assist in keeping the mercury vessel in an upright position, the ball 1 is provided with a lenticular float 25, Figs. 1 and 2, which is carried by a strap 26, rotatable about the pivots 21, this float tending to keep the axis on which the ball 1 rolls horizontal. The strap 23 is also provided with a float 27 for the same purpose. The apparatus may be used for giving warning of shoals.
