Title: An Improved Wind Motor.
Inventor: COMPAAN HENDRIK CHRISTOFFEL
IPC: F03D3/06
Filed: 1909-03-31
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 7726. Compaan, H. C. March 31. Current motors.-Funnel-shaped vanes, preferably open at both ends, are arranged horizontally, the smaller end of each being inserted in the mouth of the succeeding vane. Each vane comprises two parts a, a<1>, Fig. 1, the lower part a<1> being fixed, and the upper part a being hinged at d so that by manual, or in the case of excessive wind pressure, automatic operation, the part a is raised and the wind allowed to escape more freely. Springs l tend to keep the parts a down, while lateral displacement is prevented by guides m. The smaller ends of the parts a are connected to cords passing over pulleys f<1>, f<2>. These cords are secured to a rod within the hollow driving-shaft e<1>. The lower end of this rod, which rotates with the shaft, is connected to a non-rotatable piece f<6>, which slides upon vertical guides g. Counterweights g<3>, acting through cords g<4> passing over pulleys g<5>, are connected to the part f<6>. An operating cord or chain may be secured to the part f<6> if manual operation of the vanes is required. The mill drives a pump through bevel-gearing i, j, a crank (not shown), and a connecting- rod j. The cross-section of each vane is approximately elliptical at the smaller end and circular at the larger end.

Mantles.-Artificial filaments, after impregnation with the rare-earth salts and removal of excess of impregnating-solution, and while still moist, are immeised in a bath, preferably at about 40‹ to 50‹ C. composed of a mixture of alkalies or amines with phenols or acids, such as benzoine, chromic, salicylic, oxalic, hydrofluoric, hydrochloric, acetic, &c., which are capable of forming, in the presence of heat, volatilizable salts with the bases and insoluble or nearly insoluble basic double compounds with the rare - earths and bases, these double compounds being converted, when the mantle is ignited, without swelling, into rare-earth oxides. The moist fabric is preferably immersed into the heated solution of alkali or amine at the moment at which the acid is added. A suitable immersion bath is prepared by dissolving two parts of crystalline oxalic acid in 20 parts of distilled water at 70-75‹ C. and adding 10 parts of liquid ammonia.

Patent GB-191009276-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Control Systems for Electric Motors.
IPC: H02P7/06
Filed: 1910-04-16
Granted: 1911-04-18
Abstract: 9276. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. April 16. Master control systems; systems for continuous-current motors only; electric braking.- The speed of a motor under varying load is regulated by adjusting both the series resistance and the resistance in a shunt circuit about the armature. The motor M, having a series field F and a shunt field F<1>, is started-up by closing first a main contactor switch 1 by moving the arm 21 of the master controller into the position shown in full lines. The switch arm is then moved to engage the contacts 24, 25, 26 of the master controller, in which position the starting-resistances R<2> , R', R<4> are automatically cut out in succession. A separate throttle 5, 6, 7 is used for each resistance contactor. The motor is thus run up to full speed; to cause it to slow down, the arm 21 is returned to the position shown, causing the de-energization of the coils of the switches 3, 4 that cut in the resistances R<3>, R<4>, and completing a maintaining-circuit for the coil of the switch 2. The maintaining- circuit passes from the main 28 through the lead 30, arm 21, and the leads 40, 42, 37 through the contacts of a switch 16. The motor is thus reduced in speed by the re-insertion of all but the resistance R<2>, To reduce the speed still further, a shunt circuit is completed about the armature through resistances R'‹, R<11>, R<12>, by means of a contactor switch 9, the solenoid of which is energized from the lead 40 through the leads 43, 44. An auxiliary generator G on the motor armature shaft and having its field in shunt to the motor armature causes the progressive actuation, as its terminal voltage increases, of the contactor switches 16. 17, 18. On the actuation of the switch 16, the maintaining-circuit for the contactor controlling the series resistance. R<2> is broken, causing this resistance to be inserted in the motor circuit. The actuation of the other switches 17, 18 complete, in order, the actuating-circuits of the solenoids of switches 10, 11, these acting to short-circuit the resistances R<10>, R" respectively, and producing a still further slowing- down of the motor. The actuating-circuits of the switches 10, 11 are each threaded through the contacts of a throttle 13; 14 respectively, to govern the short - circuit current that is developed by the motor when. running as a generator. A feature in the control of the shunt circuit consists in causing both the speed of the auxiliary generator and its field current to vary directly as the speed of the motor. The resultant variations in the current supplied to the actuating - solenoids to control the shunt resistance, is thus proportional to, but wider than, the variations in the motor speed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Incandescent Gas Mantles.
Filed: 1910-05-05
Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 11,150. Still & Sons, W. M., and Adamson, A. G. May 5. Mantles.-In a method of attaching mantles to their supports by a fusible material, a thin layer of the material, such as a glaze or cement, is applied to the outer surface of the support and is fused during the incineration of the mantle so that the surface of the mantle in contact with the support becomes embedded in the fusible material, the outer surface of the fabric remaining free. The fusible material and the mantle are both dried before attaching the mantle. The fusible material may consist of sodium silicate 25 parts, alumina 25 parts, and water 50 parts. When securing a mantle to a supporting-ring, the mantle fabric is shrunk on the ring support during incineration, and a temporary binding-cord is preferably consumed at the same time. The fusible material may be employed in addition to a binding-cord. The Provisional Specification states that the fusible material may also be applied to the incombustible supporting-cord of an upright mantle.
