Patent GB-190903906-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for use in Systems of Train Lighting by Electricity.
IPC: H01H35/12
Filed: 1909-02-17
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 3906. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, Broadhead, F. G., and Hawkins, S. Feb. 17. Centrifugal actuation.-In a train-lighting system the shunt field winding n' of the dynamo A, Fig. 8, is closed by a switch j under the action of the governor. A disk c, Fig. 1, is mounted upon a shaft f adapted to rotate with the dynamo shaft g, and to receive a longitudinal movement to and from the disk d by the action of the governor e. The outer end of a shaft s is provided with an annular groove i<4>, which engages with a pin on the arm i pivoted at the point i<2>. A second lever i<1>, also pivoted at the point i<2>, is connected to the lever i by a spring i<3>, which produces a rapid movement of the arm i<1> when the arms i, i<1> are out of alinement due to the movement of the shaft s. The arm i' carries two contacts j, j<1>, Fig. 8, one of which, j, governs the circuit of the field n'. Electro-magnetic switches.-The dynamo circuits are completed by an electro-magnetic switch which also changes over the batteries from charge to discharge at each actuation. The magnet K<Î> operates a multiple-circuit-closing switch K, of which k<2>, k<3> k<4>, k5, k<11>, k<9>, k<10> are the fixed contacts. The centrifugally-operated switch closes the contacts j<1>, thereby energizing the coils k<a>, k<b>, of the magnet Kx, since at this period the contacts k<9>, k<10> are bridged by the contact k<7>, as shown in Fig. 3, the core K operates to close the contacts k', k<5>, k<2>, k<3> and to open the contacts k<5>, k<11>, k<9>, k<10>, thereby inserting the resistance Y between the dynamo and the lamps and open-circuiting the coil k<a> of the magnet K<Î>. The core K is also connected to the change-over switch L by means of a link m<4> carrying a pin m<5>, which engages with a Y-shaped slot m<1> m the lever l<Î>. If the lever l<Î> is in the pos tion shown in Fig. 3, and the magnet K<Î> is energized, toe pin m<5> moves in the slot m<1>, until it engages a piece m<2>, which deflects the pin into the right leg of the slot m<1>. This movement causes the lever l<Î> to move and bridge the other pair of contacts l<1>, l<2> and the contacts l<3>, l<4>, thereby placing the battery which has previously been charged into the lamp circuit and vice versa. A rapid movement is given to the arm l<Î> by means of the spring m<3>. The outward movement of the pin m<5> is such that the arm l<Î> is not operated.

Inventor: DECKER WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: D21J3/00
Filed: 1909-06-30
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 15,269. Decker, W. H. June 30. Moulding pulp hollow - ware. - Bilged barrelbodies are made by winding a sheet of paper pulp on a bilged mandrel, so as to form a body composed of a series of superposed undistorted layers. The pulp is taken from a tank A by a rotating bilged roll B, consisting of a perforated metal shell covered with wire netting. Inside the roll is a suction box C mounted on a shaft D which is adjustable horizontally and also rotatably. The pulp is blown across to the transfer roll E by means of a blast of air from a row of tubes connected to the pipe G, and then passes on to the bilged mandrel M. The roll E is composed of independently rotatable sections mounted on a fixed shaft F, each section being so shaped that the entire roll has a concave surface. The sections are driven frictionally from the drum H, which also drives the roll B. If desired, the mandrel M may be driven, the transfer roll E being then rotated by frictional contact therewith.

Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 4107. Reading, H. C., [trading as Reading & Co., H. C.]. Feb. 18. Stop-gear.-A device for the prevention of damage to internalcombustion engines consists of a casing B containing fusible metal a, which is adapted, under normal working conditions, to retain a contact bar or piece c<2>, which is connected to the ignition circuit, in a closed position. When the temperature rises, the metal a is melted, and the bar c<2> is rotated by a spring f to break the circuit and stop the engine. The bar c<2> carries a contact arm which engages an insulated contact stud k connected to the ignition-circuit lead.

Abstract: 8305. Thomas, H. April 6. [Cognate Application, 9172/10.] C u t t i n g and slicing meat. - In a meat-slicing machine, of the kind in which the meat is clamped by an adjustable bar, means are provided for enabling the end portion of the meat to be cut. Figs. 1 and 2 show the appliance in front and side elevations, respectively. A plate b is pivoted to the clamping-bar a, and is provided with holes, through which hooks g may be projected. The hooks are pivoted on shafts f operated together by links h and a handle h<2>. When the meat is cut nearly to the end, the plate is swung by a lever c from the position shown in broken lines in Fig. 2 to the vertical position, where it may be locked by pins in the base-plate of the machine. When the handle h<2> is depressed, the hooks move through the plate and grip the meat against the plate. In a modification, upwardlyinclined straight pins may be mounted on a plate behind the plate b, through which they are projected by relative movement of the two plates. In another modification for a machine in which the table oscillates in a curved path, two sets of pins are projected through a curved plate. The appliance may be used for slicing meat by hand.
