Title: Regenerative Hot-blast Stoves.
Inventor: NELSON ALFRED CHRISTIAN
IPC: C21B9/00
Filed: 1910-01-11
Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 750. Nelson, A. C. Jan. 16, 1909, [Convention date]. Regenerators.- The construction of a hot - blast stove is so modified that a larger proportion o f bricks of standard size and shape may be used. The stove shown comprises a central combustion chamber A surrounded by solid brickwork B, an outer brickwork shell C, and the usual intervening checkerwork. The combustion chamber is lined with refractory material a for a portion of its height, and both lining and chamber are formed of standard-sized tapered brick arranged in the usual manner as shown in Fig. 4. The surrounding brickwork B is built of rectangular bricks which are arranged with their lengths at right-angles in alternate courses. Preferably every seventh course is caused to bond with the brickwork of the combustion chamber. The outer shell C is built up in a similar manner to the portion B, and is surrounded by the usual iron casing. The roof of the annular chamber J is formed by arches E', F<1> supported on the brickwork B, C and arranged at right-angles to the faces of the portion B. Across the arches are laid bricks g, and upon these and the arches as foundations are built vertical walls forming the flues for the gases. The bricks forming these walls are suitably bonded to give strength to the structure. Additional flues H, H<1> are formed in, and opposite to, the corners of the brickwork B, the arches at these parts being supported at their inner ends on a pillar B'. Suitable corbels are formed in the brickwork as necessary. The usual gas and air inlets and exits and cleaning-openings are provided.

Patent GB-191004744-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Starting Switches for Electric Motors.
Inventor: HOLMES ISRAEL
IPC: H02P1/18
Filed: 1910-02-25
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 4744. Holmes, I. Feb. 25. Controllers, multiple-bar switch. - A motorstarting switch has a number of separate switches adapted to be mechanically actuated in sequence by rectilineally-moving cam members. Two swivelling cams 4, 4<A> are pivoted upon a rack-bar 1, and in passing beneath rollers 24 at the ends of the switch bars 20, which are pivoted upon a common shaft, actuate these bars to close the switches. The cams swing backwards and become inoperative when the rack-bar is returned to its starting point. Each switch bar 20 is independently locked, when closed, by a pivoted bar 25 suspended from the roller end of the switch bar. This then rests upon a flat - surfaced shaft 26, and acts as a strut to prevent the spring contacts of the switches from throwing the latter open. All the switch bars 20 mav be released simultaneously to cut out the motor by turning the shaft 26 either by hand or automatically. Automatic means comprise an overload solenoid 37 and a no-voltage solenoid 30. The shaft 26 is spring-controlled, but is retained in operative position by the slotted core of the overload solenoid which engages a projection 36 on the shaft. An overload thus causes the shaft to turn, and trips the switches 20. The no-volt solenoid 30 has a core 29 which engages a second projection 31 on the shaft 26. A roller on the rack-rod 1 engages a pivoted bar 28 to thrust the core 29 within the solenoid 30 upon the first movement of the rack - rod, and the core is retained by the current which is then established in the solenoid 30 by the closure of the first of the switches, namely the main doublepole switch 19. Failure of the excitation of this coil allows the spring S to lift the core and trip all the switch bars. The no-voltage solenoid 30 is short-circuited (see Fig. 9) in the 'off ' position of the rack-rod by a switch 34<a>, 34<b>, which is closed by a member on this rackrod, so that, if the latter is returned to its ' off ' position before all the switch bars have been operated, those switches that are closed will be opened by the establishment of this short-circuit. A switch 33 in series with the switch 34<a> is coupled to the last switch-arm operated, and is opened at the last step to prevent this shortcircuit being closed on the subsequent return of the rack-rod. The movement of the rackrod 1 (see Fig. 1) is effected by continuously turning a handle coupled to a shaft 10, and at the same time turning a handle coupled to a shaft 15. The latter movement puts a splined gear 9 on the shaft 10 into gear with a pinion 5 on a shaft 7 which actuates the rack-rod. As the shaft 7 is turned, a spring is wound up which returns the rack-rod to its starting position on the release of the shaft 15, a coil spring 16 throwing the gear 9 out of action. The switch arms 20 are alternately operated by the cams 4, 4<a> after the closure of the double-pole switch, as indicated by the numbers 1 ... 6 in Fig. 9, to short-circuit sections of the armature resistance R.

Abstract: 12,835. Higginson, J., and Arundel, H. May 29. Vacuunt apparatus.-To avoid the use of pressure for raising the fuel from the fuel tank of an internal-combustion engine, a supplementary reservoir b, placed above the tank and between it and the carburetting - apparatus, is automatically filled when required by suction from, for example, the induction pipe. The pipe f connects with the source of suction and is closed by a valve g operated by a float h which moves between stops j, k. Two other valves d, e, operated by the pressure, lead respectively from the fuel tank and to an auxiliary chamber c.

Stopping and speed-regulating. - In an automatic stopping and speed-regulating device for talking-machines, the turntable is adjustable axially and is provided with braking - means adapted to engage centrifugally a braking-surface when the tone-arm reaches the end of the record. The turntable g carries pivoted brake arms i, k which by centrifugal force apply their ends k to a braking- ring l mounted on a fixed support m within the cabinet. The turntable spindle f is supported on one end of a lever n pivoted at o, of which the other end p supports the tone-arm r by means of a plate s with a cam t adjustable in height by means of a screw v and a spring-pressed arm q. When the tone-arm reaches the end of a record, the support q moves from the plate s thus allowing the arm p to rise and the turntable to fall when the brake is applied. To regulate the speed of running of the turntable, the adjustable cam t is raised or lowered, thus lowering or raising the turntable and gradually applying or removing the brakes from the braking-ring l. In a modification, the turntable has no axial movement, but the support m of the braking-ring is carried upon the inner end of the pivoted arm connected with the tone-arm.
