Title: Improvements in Acetylene Generators.
Inventor: HARRIS WILLIAM WELD
IPC: C10H15/06
Filed: 1910-06-22
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 15,051. Harris, W. W. July 28, 1909, [Convention date]. Feed - openings for solids, construction of feed - openings for solids regulated by diaphragms. - The carbide-feeding plunger of an acetylene-generator, which is operated by a collapsible or elastic member, is arranged to receive and serve out a graduated or proportionable feed corresponding with the varying stroke of the plunger. In the generator shown, the plunger 25 is carried by a weight 9, to which is secured the diaphragm 7 held at its outer part between the carbide-receptacle 5 and the cover 11, and it is preferred that the rim of the diaphragm should be thickened so as to form a seating between the carbide and water receptacles. A coil spring 17 acts to press down the weight. The plunger 25 works in a rubber or metal seating, and is provided with a series of recesses 26. These recesses 26, 27 may be arranged as shown in Fig. 3, in which the plunger consists of a tube 30 fitted with a rod, the recesses being cut in the rod, and slots being formed in the tube opposite the pockets. The recesses may be formed by a spiral or rings turned in the rod, or may be on one side of the rod only. It is preferred to graduate the capacity of pockets, increasing it progressively from the bottom upwards. To enable the plunger to work in its seating with the minimum friction, the edges 29, Fig. 3, of the partitions between the recesses are set back. The generator is also provided with a safety - device, which locks the plunger in a raised position if at any time the pressure exceeds a, certain value. For this purpose, a post 18 is secured to the weight, and an aperture is provided in the cover for this to pass through and engage a spring catch 23, arranged so that after a certain movement the catch prevents the weight and plunger from falling again. The safety-device is combined with the manual means for stopping and starting the lamp, consisting of a rod 19 provided with a knob 20 and allowed a. certain lost movement in the post, but which is capable of raising the weight and plunger so as to stop the apparatus. The lamp is started by releasing the spring catch 23. Gas passes away through the carbide-feed aperture, the filter 13, and the flexible tube 16 to the nipple 31.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Controllers for Electric Motors.
IPC: H02P1/16

Granted: 1911-07-31
Abstract: 18,190. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. July 30. Master control systems; systems for continuous-current motors only; controllers, actuating - mechanism for. - A speed-controlling arrangement for operating a motor at a low speed for any desired period, and then automatically bringing up the motor to any predetermined maximum speed, comprises two electromagnetically - operated main and speed-controlling switches 3, 26 controlled by a pilot switch 40. The pilot switch comprises a pivoted arm 42 carrying contact-brushes 43, 44, 45 adapted to engage stationary contacts 46 ... 54; the main switch 3 has movable contacts 4, 5 and arcing contacts 6, 7 with corresponding fixed contacts 8 ... 11. The speed-controller, which may be of the type described in Specification 13,406/10, consists of a solenoid 26 having a movable core 25 connected to a pivoted arm 14 carrying brushes 16, 17, which serve to cut resistances 23 out of the circuit of the armature a, and resistances 20 into the circuit of the field-magnet winding f. The solenoid 26 is provided with an adjustable core or stop 27, which limits the upward movement of the core 25 and allows the controller to be set for different predetermined motor speeds. A loose pin 37, passing through the core 27, is struck by the core 25 in its upward movement, and opens a switch 35, thereby throwing a resistance 70 into circuit with the solenoid 26 to cut down the holding-on current. If the arm 42 of the pilot switch is moved towards the right so as to bring the brushes into contact with the segments 47, 52, 53, the shunt field winding f is connected across the supply leads 55, 56, and the solenoid of the main switch 3 is excited, thereby closing the contacts 4, 5 and 8, 9 and connecting the armature a in circuit with the whole of the resistance 23, so that the motor runs at a slow speed. To increase the speed, the arm 42 is moved to its extreme right-hand position so as to close the circuit of the solenoid 26, cutting out the armature resistance 23, and placing a resistance 75 in series with the coil 3. Upon the main switch 3 becoming opened, either by moving back the arm 42, or by failure of the supply voltage, the contacts 6, 7 drop on to the contacts 12, 13 and short-circuit the armature a through a resistance 66, thus braking the motor. The motor is reversed by moving the arm 42 in the left-hand direction.
