Title: Improvements in Regulating Dynamo-electric Generators
Inventor: DEUTSCH ISIDOR
Filed: 1904-10-29
Granted: 1904-12-01
Abstract: 23,377. Deutsch, I. Oct. 29. Dynamos, regulating. -Relates to automatic means for regulating the current from a dynamo in spite of sudden variation of speed, and consists essentially of a solenoid in the main circuit and suitable reciprocating mechanism which indirectly moves a contact-finger over contacts connected with those of a rheostat in the shunt field circuit, and a pole-changer operated by the dynamo shaft when the direction of rotation is reversed. A rod 10, Fig. 2, continuously oscillates about a pintle q under the action of a reciprocating rod 9 connected by a strap 8 to an eccentric 7, which is fixed to a shaft 4, Fig. 1, driven through the medium of a worm 2 and worm-wheel 3 by the armature shaft f. Two rods u, pivoted to two fixed rods v and to the movable core w of the solenoid h, are joined by a rod x provided with a slot y in which reciprocates a screw 16, to which is fixed a member 13, Fig. 3, carrying a pawl 11. The member 13 is provided with a slot 15, Fig. 4, in order that it may slide on the rod 10. On a disc pare arranged two circular rows of teeth r, s, separated by a space t. The teeth are shaped as in Fig. 6, and face in opposite directions in the two rows. The position of the pawl 11 with regard to the teeth with which it engages is dependent upon the current passing through the solenoid h, the pawl 11 being moved to engage one of the rings of teeth r, s. The disc p carries a contact-finger 17, which slides over insulated contacts connected, by means of wires formed into a cable n, with the contacts of a rheostat in the shunt field circuit. A spring z is so adjusted that, when the current in the solenoid h is of a definite strength, the pawl 11 is located between the two rows of teeth. One tooth is omitted in each row, so that the pawl may continue to reciprocate idly when the current is too small to require regulating. The shaft 4, Fig. 1, may also engage with a polechanger 6 by means of a crank.

Abstract: 23,909. Barber, W. M., [Kingsley, G. E.]. Nov. 4. Drawings to Specification. Pigments are prepared, indirectly, from sulphide and other ores, particularly from galena, by a partially cyclic process. The crushed ore is placed in a series of airtight decomposing-chambers connected interiorly, dilute acid is added, and the gases generated in one chamber are passed through the liquid in the next, agitating the ore.

Abstract: 7821. Parrott, G., Parrott, H. F., and Parrott, A. A. April 12. Seats.-Relates to an outdoor seat having hinged flap covers which, when not in use, are drawn into a receptacle under the seat, as described in Specification No. 18,814, A.D. 1899. The sides c of the receptacle which receives the flaps a are hinged near their lower ends, so as to facilitate the movement of the flaps through the aperture at the top of the receptacle. One of the sides c is formed with a projection e, which is made to cover the upper ends m of the flaps a, when in the closed position, by the engagement of a projection g on the inner end of one of the flaps a with a lug h formed on the same side c. The projection g serves also to prevent the flaps from being drawn entirely out of the receptacle, and, further, holds the sides c wide apart until the flaps have been drawn back into the casing, this being effected by a spring f. Grooves l formed in the ends of the receptacle cause the flaps to take up the inclined position shown in Fig. 1.

Title: Improvements in connection with a Process and Apparatus for Separating Gases.
Inventor: HUMPHREY ALBERT ALEXANDER
Filed: 1905-07-18
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 14,809. Humphrey, A. A. July 18. Nitrogen ; o x yg e n. - Relates to the method of separating oxygen and nitrogen from air, based upon the difference of their solubilities in water and the ircrease of solubility with pressure, and consists in utilizing a falling column of water to throw in the gases and give the requisite pressure for solution. In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. 1, three vertical pipes a, b, care used ; the pipe a carries a conical hood d provided with air openings e and a funnel f into which water falls ; the funnel f is fitted with a gauze bottom to break up the water, and is prolonged into the hood to set up an injector action. The gases dissolve during the passage of the air and water down the pipe a ; the pipe discharges through its curved end i into a tank h ; the undissolved air containing excess of nitrogen rises to the top of the tank and ascends the pipe b to a collecting tank p, the gas being led off through the pipe q or allowed to escape, while the water carried up is discharged back into the funnel by the pipe r. The water containing the dissolved gases is drawn off from the bottom of the tank h by the pipe c and is' forced by the pump k through the delivery pipe l into a tank m, in which the water, being at a low pressure, gives up its dissolved gases, which are drawn off by the pipe n, while the water is discharged by the pipe o into the funnel. A balanced tank 4 is.provided in order to regulate the supply of water as required. The gas from the pipe n may be again treated in the same apparatus or in a series of apparatus, further to enrich it in oxygen. In this case, the hood d, Fig. 2, is enclosed, and is provided with a, valve s for admission of air if desired, and a valve t for admission of the gas rich in oxygen. The water-discharge pipes o, r are joined and lead into the funnel f. When the subsequent treatment is carried on in the same apparatus as the first, an arrangement of two gasholders and suitable valves may be employed, the gas being passed through the apparatus to the other holder, and so on. In either forms of the apparatus, the water tanks h, m are fitted with baffe-plates, and the two water-discharge pipes lead into a third tank communicating with an injector or series of injectors of any of the ordinary forms.
