Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 11,614. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. May 10. Electro - magnets.-In an alternating - current electromagnet, in order to give a uniform pull on the armature, the coils are so arranged that the fluxes due to currents of different phases are distributed in the same plane symmetrically to a common axis. Fig. 3 shows a form of the magnet having an armature 6 and plunger 7, and two coils 1, 2 which may be connected to a three-phase circuit. If connexion is made to a singlephase circuit, the current in one of the coils may be advanced or retarded by means such as an inductance. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement having three coils connected to a three-phase circuit, and a movable armature 25. In the form shown in Fig. 7, there are four coils connected so 'as to produce a symmetrical flux distribution. The device is specially applicable to the operation of switches.

Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 13,405. Vincent, J. H. June 2. Arc lamps; lowpressure metallicvapour apparatus. -A lighting - tube 1, which is filled with mercury or its equivalent when out of use, is of small bore, and is used in a continuous-current circuit of such resistance that an arc is obtained which varies periodically in length. For lighting, the variations are so rapid as to be imperceptible, but for sterilizing they may be less frequent. The tube 1, which may be of silica, is integral with, or joined to, wider tubes 2, 3 which may be opened or closed ; the spaces above the mercury &c. may be partly exhausted. The narrow tube 1 may be constricted at or near its middle ; it may be vertical, inclined, or horizontal, and the tubes 3, 4 may be bent. In one arrangement, the lamp is lit by temporarily short-circuiting a part of a series resistance 12 by a switch 13. In other arrangements, a heating-coil, say of platinum-iridium, surrounds or is embedded in the tube 1. The heating-coil may be in series with the lamp and resistance of Fig. 1, or may be in a shunt circuit containing a hand switch or an electro-magnetic switch, which is only closed by the flow of the heavy starting-current through a series coil. Such an electro-magnetic switch may also replace the hand switch 13 when a series heating- coil is used. The lamp may be adapted for insertion into an incandescent-lamp holder. Specifications 6755/05 and 5596/08 are referred to.

Patent GB-191101302-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Boxes for use with Electric Cables, Telegraph, Telephones, and the like, applicable also for other purposes.
Inventor: DICKINSON HAROLD
IPC: H02G15/113
Filed: 1911-01-18
Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 1302. Dickinson, H. Jan. 18. [Cognate Application, 5745/11.]. Road service boxes.-Relates to junction boxes &c. for electrical apparatus, such as fuses, couplings, and supply appliances, and consists in constructing them so that water cannot enter, and so that neither excess pressure nor a vacuum can form in the box, by connecting the inside of the box by a pipe to a chamber or trap which surrounds or is constituted by the pipe, the said chamber having a capacity greater than the decrease in volume of the contents of the box due to cooling. The pipe v, Fig. 3, connects the inverted chamber s with a box a, and vents u are provided in the chamber s so that any internal pressure in the box is relieved via the pipe v and the vents u. If a vacuum forms in the box, as the filling cools, water does not enter the box itself, as the chamber s is of greater capacity than the shrinkage volume. The capacity, instead of being provided by a separate chamber, may be supplied by the pipe; as shown in Fig. 9, this is done by enlarging the pipe v as at v<1>, but it may be done by coiling the pipe either into a spiral or helix, whereby a long length and thus a large volume can be obtained in a compact form. The outlet from the pipe v may be provided with a small cap w on a plug, Fig. 20, through which a small hole is drilled. This hole allows any pressure differences existing between the box and the outside to balance out, and it subsequently rusts up so as to close the box hermetically. The tubes v may be cast integral with the box or may be secured by screwing &c., and the invention may be applied to other boxes.

Abstract: 2904. Mees, G. Feb. 15, 1910, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; cars; starting; steering and balancing; tanks, arrangement of.-In flying-machines provided at the forward part with gyroscopic lifting-propellers as described in Specifications 25,749/10 and 2041/11, means are provided whereby a sudden lifting of the forward part of the machine, such as is caused when the lifting - propellers are brought into action for starting after a preliminary run along the ground, or for rising to a higher level during flight, or when the driving-propellers are stopped to effect a landing, is accompanied by a corresponding lifting of the rear part of the machine. Such means comprise a suspended passenger seat frame which is connected to the tail-plane so that the forward movement of the seats due to inertia increases the angle of incidence of the tailplane. In the form shown, three seats a<1>, a<2>, a<3> are elastically suspended at b and connected to the tail-plane S by rods m and arms k. The rearward swing of the seats is limited by the engagement of tubes i, i<1> with stays p, p<1>. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (n) comprises also the following subject-matter. The petrol tank, a military equipment, or other portion of the load, may be arranged to move so that its inertia may be used instead of that of the seats, and the seats or other load part, instead of being pivoted to swing as described above, may be mounted to run on rails, the return movement being effected, for example, by springs, elastic cords, &c. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 8735. Platt Bros. & Co., and Bancroft, G. April 8. Rollers and r o l l e r heads; special yarns, producing. - I n order to produce yarns or threads with s p o t s or thicker portions alternating with parts of normal thickness from slivers or rovings of uniform thickness, a tappet-wheel or cam actuated from the front roller operates a clutch, whereby the back and middle rollers of a ring spinning or like machine are driven during varying periods at such a speed relatively to the front roller that the sliver is subjected to less than the usual draft or to no draft at all. The back roller shaft b is normally driven from the front roller shaft a through ratchet gearing at one end, but, when thicker portions are required, a clutch 3 at the other end of the machine is coupled by means of a lever v, controlled from the front roller shaft, so that the back roller is driven for a determined period through change gearing g, 11, 6, 2 which reduces the draft to the desired degree, during which period the ratchet gearing of the normal drive overruns. The lever v is operated by adjustable stops v, cams, tappets, &c. on a wheel s driven from the front roller shaft through change gearing f, h, i. The normal drive of the back and middle rollers is through a ratchet-wheel 19 loose on a shaft 14, Fig. 4, a pawl plate 13 fast on the shaft 14, and gear-wheels 15, 16.

In the latter case, the shaft and sleeve have bevel-wheels with different numbers of teeth which engage the same bevel-wheel 18 on the driving-shaft. The use of gearing may be avoided by driving both platforms at the same speed and at a certain stage disconnecting the outer platform. If desired, the seats may be dispensed with, and the passengers then stand or sit on the smooth platforms.

The veneered boards are steamed until the surface is soft, whereupon they are embossed in a press in which a' hard metal bottom die C and a top die D of lead, type metal, &c. are used. The boards are then dried, and when the boards have not been veneered on both sides, the hollows in the back are filled in with a composition consisting of plaster of paris, whitening, linseed oil, and gelatinous glue, with or without sawdust, and the surface is veneered. The pulp board may be painted or dyed to the same colour as the veneer before this is applied. The veneer surfaces may be varnished with a waterproofing- solution, the glue may be treated with bichromate, and the surface of the panel may be washed with formalin. Chloride of mercury or other poison may be used in the varnish to protect the panels against white ants. When the panels are used for fire-screens or the like, they are veneered on one side only and placed back to back, with orwithout the filling-up material between them.
