IPC: G01P1/04
Filed: 1905-02-08
Granted: 1905-09-07
Abstract: 2569. Ruck, R. M. Feb. 8. Speed indicators; index hands.-The excess - speed indicator described in Specification N o. 18,420, A.D. 1903, is modified by the addition of means controlled by hand for ascertaining the actual speed of the vehicle at any moment. The car-driven contactmember consists of a circular band with radially-projecting teeth E instead of a spoke wheel, in order not to obscure the clock face, around which it is rotated by the concealed worm F, acting on the worm-teeth f. An auxiliary index G is mounted on a separate circular band g to rotate friction-tight over a dial D, graduated as shown. By depression of the push-button H, the point of the plunger is engaged with the worm teeth f and the index is carried round with the wheel E. The plunger is held down during the motion of, the seconds' hand C between any two of the divisions j<1>, j<2>, j<3>, j<4>, and the scale J is arranged to give the actual speed of the vehicle. To avoid over-running the index, a cam-piece K is arranged to act on a pin k on the plunger and lift it in spite of the pressure of the finger. The flap L attached to the pointer C may be used as a contact-member as described in the prior Specification, or it may be used merely as a visual indicator. For the latter purpose, the flap is coloured differently on its opposite sides and hangs freely from the pointer, so that while the vehicle is running at the given limit of speed neither side will be visible, but, if the speed is above or below the limit, the flap will present, say, red or white, respectively.

Title: Improvements in Electric Induction Meters.
Filed: 1905-04-20
Granted: 1905-06-22
Abstract: 8540. Compagnie Anon. Continentale pour la Fabrication des Compteurs Ó Gaz et autres Appareils. Feb. 16, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Energy meters. - In induction motor meters, a phase difference of at least 90 degrees is obtained between the magnetic fluxes of the series and shunt coils by winding the series coil E, Fig. 3, on a core D having lateral branches with or without air gaps, and so placed as to deviate the flux from the moving conductor C, and by making the shunt coils B highly inductive, by means of a bridge-piece F arranged at some distance from the disk. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 8 and 12, a portion of the flux due to the shunt coils B passes through the air gap g, and another part crosses the disk and passes through a piece I, K, which in this case is bent upwards and is attached to the core e as shown. The top part d of the laminated core is adjustably mounted on screws, in order that by varying the air gaps j the selfinduction of the shunt circuit may be adjusted without appreciably affecting the motor torque. The parts I serve as the lateral branches of the core D. The phase difference is adjusted by means of the softiron screw u, which affects the action of the series coils, but not of the shunt coils, being symmetrically placed as regards the core of the latter. The series coil and core D are carried in brackets having slots to allow of vertical or horizontal adjustment. By making the air gaps unequal, the meter may be corrected for high loads. The core D may be dispensed with. To facilitate starting, an extension of the bridge K is bent round facing the core and is adjustable by means of a set-screw. In a modified arrangement, the series coil is placed between the limbs of the core e, and the bridge-piece I, K is placed entirely below the disk. In anotl.er modification, the core D situated below the disk is provided with looped branches. For polyphase systems, several inductors are arranged to act on the same or on separate moving conductors, the action of each being adjustable as above.

Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 20,160. Willis, P. R. J., [Moodie, R. P.]. Oct. 5. Gas and explosive-vapour engines, starting. A peculiarlyshaped valve enables a two-cylinder engine (a) to be started by compressed air from a reservoir and (b) to compress air into this reservoir, if required, when running. The cylinders 10 have front and back covers, and are provided with the usual valve-gear. Adjacent to the covers nearest the crank-shaft is a valve casing 17 provided with ports 18 leading to the usually idle side of the pistons, an exhaust port 19, an inwardly - opening inlet valve 21<a> and an outwardly-opening outlet valve 21, and a pipe with a throttle 26, connected up with a pipe 23 leading to the compressed-air reservoir 24. The main valve 27, Fig. 6, has a cavity 28 and grooves 29, 30, the latter being separate, and is given an oscillating motion by a cam or eccentric through the rod 32 and a sliding motion by hand through the rod 33. When the valve is pushed to the right, as in Fig. 4, and the throttle 26 opened, compressed air is admitted to one of the cylinders through the groove 29 and the port 18 ; at the same time the groove 30 connects the other cylinder with the exhaust passage 20. The valve 26 is closed after the engine has started, but the valve 27 will be oscillated by the engine to prevent compression in the idle ends of the cylinders. To charge the reservoir 24, the valve 27 is pulled to the left as in Fig. 5, in which case the left-hand cylinder is periodically opened to the exhaust port 19, but the right-hand cylinder is cut off from the exhaust and draws air through the valve 21<a>, compresses it, and forces it past the valve 21 and check valve 25 to the reservoir 24.

Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 3570. Winand, P. Feb. 18, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas and like engines; gas turbines.-In engincs particularly those that are excluded from air as on submarine boats, the gaseous products of combustion are absorbed and the heat produced thereby is used to generate steam or vapour to be mixed with the combustion gases. Combustion of a hydrocarbon is supported by oxygen supplied by an alkaline peroxide or nitrate, and the resulting caustic alkali is preferably used to absorb the carbonic acid of combustion. Ammonia may be used, however, after it. has expanded in another motor, the ammonia and carbonic acid being used together for instance in a low-pressure stage of a turbine driven by the products of combustion. Steam may be generated by the heat liberated in the production of an alkaline carbonate from a peroxide and hydrocarbon and used to dilute the products of combustion. The molten hydrate may be sprayed through the carbonic acid in an absorbing-chamber. Fig. 2 shows apparatus comprising a reservoir A of alkaline peroxide supplying an oxygen-generating chamber C. Water is supplied to the chamber C by a pipe b and to the combustion chamber V to cool the combustion products by a pipe g. The products of'combustion after use in a turbine H pass to a condenser K, where the steam is condensed, and then to a chamber N, where they meet a spray of alkaline hydrate from the chamber C which absorbs the carbonic acid. The lye and uncondensed gases are drawn off by a, pump P. The oxygen may be used to support combustion in the cylinder of a reciprocating. engine L.
