Title: Improvements in Unions or Couplings with Bayonet Joints for Pipes and Tubes.
Inventor: RUDOLPH CHARLES
IPC: F16B7/20
Filed: 1911-04-12
Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 9145. Rudolph, C. April 12. Bayonet joints for coupling speaking-tubes, in which the joint is locked by a sliding non- rotating sleeve 7 mounted on the socket, have a slot 10 in the sleeve which engages the shank of a headed pin 6 screwed into the spigot, to prevent accidental withdrawal of the pin from the bayonet-slot 5, and rotation of the sleeve is prevented by a headed pin 9 screwed into the socket and working in a slot 8 in the sleeve.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Regulating Arrangements.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1911-04-15
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 9366. Lake, W. E., [United States Light and Heating Co.]. April 15. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-The dynamo of a battery-charging system is regulated to reduce gradually the charging current towards the end of charge, the regulating- apparatus normally providing current regulation, while upon a predetermined rise of voltage both current and voltage regulation are provided. In the arrangement shown, the shunt field winding 2 of the generator is connected in series with two resistances 3, 4, which are normally short-circuited by means of adjustable springs 11, 12 acting on the cores 7, 8 of solenoids. The core 7 is provided with a series winding 5 and shunt winding 24, and the core 8 with a series winding 6 and shunt winding 25, the windings 24, 25 being normally short-circuited by means of an arm 23. As the dynamo speeds up, a switch 27 connects it to the load circuit at a predetermined voltage, the resistances 3, 4 being short-circuited. If the current output of the dynamo tends to exceed a predetermined value, the windings 5, 17 and spring 11 cause the resistance 3 to be continuously further increase of current output causes the windings 6, 18 and spring 12 similarly to shortcircuit and insert the resistance 4, to reduce further the excitation of the dynamo field. When the battery 22 approaches its fullycharged condition, the sudden rise of voltage causes the coils 19, 26 to vibrate the arm 23, to energize and de-energize the shunt windings 24, 25 of the cores 7, 8, thereby providing both current and voltage regulation. As the battery becomes fully charged, the current in the windings 5, 6 is gradually reduced, thereby diminishing the current regulation, while the increasing voltage across the winding 19 increases the voltage regulation. Specification 9363/11 is referred to.

Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 16,730. North, G. July 17. Phase, changing.-Apparatus for testing meters comprises variable non-inductive and inductive resistances, a transformer, and switches for connecting the circuits so as to obtain any phase angle between the current and the pressure. The pressure coils 6, Fig. 1, of the meters are connected either across the leads or in series with the secondary of a transformer 9. The non-inductive resistance consists of lamps 15 with switches, the inductance 19 being variable by means of a plunger. Three single-pole switches 27, 18, 22 are used for connecting the resistance 15 and inductance 19 separately in series with the series coils 10 of the meter, with or without the primary 24 of the transformer 23. The resistance and inductance may be connected in parallel, in order to obtain a phase angle less than that obtainable by the use of inductance alone. The transformer 23 may be used for increasing the current in the series coils, or for increasing the phase angle, or for producing a leading current. In order to double the current, using an equal-ratio transformer, for instance when the inductance is in circuit, the switches 27, 22 are moved to connect contacts 26, 21 with contacts 33, 35, respectively, the double-pole switch 14 being moved to connect contacts 30, 29 with contacts 13, 38, respectively. By this means, the current in the secondary is added to that in the primary. In order to produce a current at quadrature with the pressure, the inductance is connected in series with the meter coils, and the switches 27, 18 are moved to connect contacts 26, 17 with contacts 36, 25 respectively, the switch 14 being moved to connect contacts 30, 29 with contacts 37, 34 respectively. The terminals of the secondary are thus reversed, the resultant O F, Fig. 6, of the current O E in the secondary and the current O D in the inductance, being at quadrature with the pressure O A. In order to obtain a leading current, the switches 14, 27 are kept in the same position as in the previous case, but the resistance 15 is connected in series with the meter coils, and the inductance in series with the primary winding. In this case the leading current O F, Fig. 8, is the resultant of the current O B through the resistance and the current O G in the secondary.
