Abstract: 25,107. Godderidge, J., and Pepper, S. Nov. 2. Lace.-Relates to the production of " everlasting net" along with openwork, Swiss, and combination effects and four-gait and two-gait clothing on a curtainlace machine provided with three guide-bars and two single - lift jacquards. " Everlasting net" is distinguished from muslin, Madras, Swiss effects, &c. in that the thread forming it does not return to its own pillar immediately after tying with a neighbouring pillar, but completes at least two ties therewith, thus producing a stronger fabric. Thick spool threads a, fine spool threads b, and warp threads c are controlled by guide - bars d, e, f, and the pickers g may be held in three different positions namely j, k, l, clear of all threads, or engaging threads a, or engaging all threads. A cycle of six half-revolutions is employed. On the first, third, and fifth motions with carriages in the back combs, the bars d, e, f rise two, two and one gaits respectively before the pickers enter ; the bar d then rises two more gaits, the bar e falls one gait and the barf rests, after which the carriages pass. On the second motion, the bars d, f fall three gaits and one gait respectively while the bar e rests ; the pickers then enter, and the bars d, e fall one gait while the bar f rests On the fourth and sixth motions, the bars d, e, f fall three, one, and two gaits respectively before the pickers enter, and subsequently the bar d falls one gait, the bar f rises one gait, and the bar e rests. When the pickers are held out to j continuously, four-gait cloth A is produced. Two-gait cloth B is obtained by holding out the pickers to k on the odd motions and to j on the even motions. Openwork C is obtained when pickers are held in position k continuously. Swiss net D is formed by entering the pickers to l on odd and k on even motions. "Everlasting net" E is made from the same thread as Swiss by entering the pickers to l on the first, second and third motions and by drawing them back to k on the fourth,fifth and sixth motions. Guipure or combination work F is obtained when the pickers are entered to l on the fourth and sixth motions and are drawn back to k on the other four motions of the cycle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Devices for Measuring Temperature.
Inventor: MELLIN MAX LOUIS
IPC: G01K5/00
Filed: 1913-09-04
Granted: 1914-09-04
Abstract: 5460. Mellin, M. L. Sept. 4. Pyrometers. - In an electrical device for measuring temperature, of the type in which a device operated by change of temperature varies the resistance of an electric circuit containing an indicating- mechanism by shortcircuiting a resistance coil, the convolutions of which are insulated from each other, the coil is arranged so that only a portion of each of the convolutions is engaged directly or indirectly by the means operated by change of temperature, and definite quantities of the resistance are thus controlled to vary the current. In the form shown in Fig. 1, an electric circuit containing a battery d, and a voltmeter, ammeter, &c. c, contains a resistance coil b which is wound on a grooved or plain insulated rod b<1> and is coated with insulating material, except at the part of the convolutions in communication with a groove f<1> along which the mercury in the explorer a may expand so as to short-circuit each convolution of the coil. The groove f<1> is formed in a cover f of vulcanized fibre. The covering may be cylindrical and in one, two, or more parts, and contained in an outer metal casing g, or may consist of a single strip placed alongside the coil. The cover f may be pressed close against the coil by thumb-screws g<1> mounted in a longitudinal ridge on the casing g and engaging a metal backing f<2> secured to the cover f. The upper end of the groove f<1> is connected with a plug h secured by cement &c. to the cover f so as to receive mercury if the same rises beyond the maximum of calibration, and the height of the mercury in the explorer may be adjusted by a plug a<1>. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the parts are assembled by fixing the explorer a, insulated coil b, and plug h to a metal bar k, inserting through the unsealed end of the explorer a wire between the coil and perforated distance-pieces k<2>, inserting the parts in a casing g, and then pouring in liquid cement &c. After the cement has set. the wire is removed and the explorer filled with mercury and then sealed. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the explorer a is connected by a Bourdon tube l to a weighted lever m in the electric circuit, which carries at one end the insulated coil b which is thus moved by variation of pressure caused by the movement of the mercury in the explorer into a mercury bath n in the circuit to short-circuit the resistance. The coil may be wound on a tubular member and may enter a cylindrical or annular mercury bath. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the Bourdon tube l is connected to a weighted lever o which moves in contact with the resistance coil b. A recording- instrument, such as a pencil tracing a line on a strip maintained in uniform motion by clockwork &c., may be used in addition to or instead of an indicating-device such as an ammeter &c.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Constant-pressure Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: SCHMIDT WILHELM
IPC: F02B3/00
Filed: 1913-07-04
Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 15,474. Schmidt, W. July 4. Motor power plant.-In continuous-combustion engines which ignite their charges by the heat of compression, and which exhaust into the driving-cylinder of an air-compressing plant, to maintain constant the temperature of the gases delivered to the low-pressure cylinders, governing is effected by varying both the pressure of the air admitted to the combustion-cylinder and the amount of the fuel supply, the point of cutoff of which is constant. To maintain the igniting temperature at reduced loads, the compressed air may be heated before admission to the combustion-cylinder. Cooling of the compressed air may also be resorted to. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, a four-strokecycle engine a exhausts into a reservoir d, the gases from which actuate an independent compressing-plant having a working-cylinder b in line with an air-compressor c which delivers into a reservoir e. The delivery pipe to the cylinder contains a throttle valve f, and the pressure in the reservoir e is controlled by varying the output of the compressor, for example by holding open the suction valves. The pressure of the fuel-ignition air may vary with the compression pressures in the combustion cylinder; this may be effected by compressing further air taken from the reservoir e.

Title: Improvements in and relating to High Frequency Alternating- current Dynamos.
Inventor: BRESLAUER MAX
IPC: H02K19/16
Filed: 1913-08-28
Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 19,445. Breslauer, M. Aug. 28. Cores, yokes, and carcase structures; windings.-In a salient-pole high-frequency alternator for wireless telegraphy and the like, the armature coils are of full or practically full pole pitch and are so arranged that the centre line at right-angles to their plane is displaced by substantially half a pole pitch from the centre line of the salient poles. A bipolar machine of this form is indicated in Fig. 1<a>, and it is shown in the Specification that, during a complete revolution, the armature generates voltage as shown in Fig. 3, i.e. having four waves for one revolution, although the armature is only subjected to two magnetic reversals. By exciting the field with a synchronous alternating current, the wave e, f, g may be inverted, giving the -usual sequence of oppositely-disposed halfwaves, but the iron losses would be correspondingly increased. By making the width of the salient poles substantially equal to that of the field poles, a wave as shown in Fig. 14 is obtained, i.e. having three cycles for one armature revolution and no blank period, as shown at c, d, Fig. 3, or successive occurrence of half-waves of similar sign. By recessing or splitting the poles, as shown in Fig. 4, a voltage wave as shown in Fig. 6 may be obtained, i.e. one having five cycles per revolution. By further splitting of the poles, the frequency may be further increased. Fluctuations of the flux in the field poles may be minimized by means of ' dampers ' or by projections on the armature at rightangles to its main poles (for a bipolar machine), as shown in Fig. 10. Alternatively, two similar iron cores may be mounted at right-angles to each other at different points on the shaft under common field poles. The additional poles may also be split into halves mounted on both sides of the main armature to give magnetic symmetry. Several armature cores may be employed at equal angular distances around the axis, and these also may be split or provided with windings to give currents differing 'in phase.
