Title: A New or Improved Automatic Device for Scaring Birds and the like.
Inventor: BLANFORD JOHN HARLAND
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-07-06
Abstract: 29,519. Blandford, J. H. Dec. 31. Alarm guns.-In an automatic appliance for scaring birds &c., cartridges are exploded periodically by apparatus actuated by means of weights and of water escaping from a tank, special means being provided for regulating the rate of firing. The cartridges c fit into holes b<1> in a wheel b, which normally tends to rotate, but is prevented from doing so by the pins c' of the cartridges coming into contact with a pivoted catch e. The catch e is lifted at intervals by a projection on a spindle f<2>, which rotates when the weight of water in a vessel suspended from one end of a pipe f overbalances a weight i at the other. The wheel b is turned by means of a weight d<3> acting through a flexible connection d', which passes round the pulleys d, d<2>. The water receptacle is preferably V-shaped, so that, when it comes into contact with a board below it, it discharges the water into a tank or trough, and allows the pipe f to return to its normal horizontal position. It is refilled gradually by water passing from the tank j through the outlet j<1>, funnel g, and pipe f, the flow of water being regulated by a tap or cock A projection on the pipe f moves a spring-controlled and pivoted lever, the head of which is then forced down upon one of the pins c' and so fires a cartridge. The spring acts upon the pivoted lever through the medium of a pivoted pawl provided with a pin working in a slot in the lever. The end of the projection on the spindle f and the end of the pivoted lever are hinged so that they may return easily to the normal positions. The valve may be set to allow the water to pass very slowly during the night, and its actuating-wheel n may be connected to the tube f by a flexible connection n<1>, which automatically opens the valve more fully as the next cartridge is fired. The wheel n may be graduated to facilitate adjustment. In a modification, the valve is opened more fully by a weight which falls off a projection on the spindle f<2> as the latter rotates, the movement being regulated by the position of an adjustable stop on the wheel n.

Title: Improvements in Rolling Mills
Inventor: FASSL ALOYS
Filed: 1905-05-06
Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 9579. Fassl, A. May 6. Rolling.-In a mill for rolling hollow bodies, rolls e, d, c, b, a are placed with axes alternately at rightangles, and are run at increasing peripheral velocities. The grooves in the rolls are not circular, and those in the rolls a most depart from the circle so that there is less friction between the billet and mandrel at the roll a than at the roll e, and the material is thus allowed to move relatively to the mandrel at the rolls where the pass most departs from a circle, such as at a, c, Fig. 2. By this means the tube rolled is longer than the mandrel.

Abstract: 14,317. Elektrizitõts Akt.-Ges. vorm. W. Lahmeyer & Co. July 11,1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling.-Relates to a method of regulating polyphase commutator dynamo-electric machines, in which each phase winding of the stator is divided into two or more parts, one of which can be connected in series with part of the following phase winding, thereby shifting the stator field relatively to the rotor field without altering the position of the brushes. In the two-phase system shown in Fig. 1, one phase is represented by the windings a b, d e, and the other phase by the windings a c, f g, and, by making the connexions as shown, the fields due to the windings a b, a c are rotated through an angle x, Fig. 2. By reversing the current in the windings d e, f g, the stator field is rotated in the opposite direction. In the case of three-phase machines, the connexions may be made as shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the strength of the resulting field depending upon the direction of the current in the different windings. To obtain a closer regulation of the field, the different windings may be composed of a number of coils which may be wholly or in part included in the circuits.

Abstract: 6223. Hunt, L. J., and Sandycroft Foundry Co. March 14. Armatures; field magnets; rotary converters.- The rotors of machines having two or more windings of different pole-numbers on the rotor and stator adapted for cascade connexion, as described in Specification No. 14,401, A.D. 1905, or having the equivalent cross-connected windings described in Specification No. 6224, A.D. 1906, are fitted with one or more commutators, the machines then serving as self-excited alternators, rotary converters, repulsion motors, &c. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the rotor windings 2, 4 are connected by slip-rings k . . . p, and the winding 4 is connected to a commutator 29 on which bear brushes 30. On the stator winding 1 being excited with alternating current and the second stator winding 3 with continuous current, the machine works as a rotary converter. If the winding 3 is connected to the brushes 30 and the machine mechanically rotated, it becomes a self-exciting alternator, or both stator windings may be fed with continuous current from the brushes 30, and the slip-rings k, m, o connected to supply the mains. If the rotor winding 2 is connected to the stator winding 3 through a pair of slip-rings and in series with the brushes 30, the machine works as a series motor; on short-circuiting the brushes 30, as a repulsion motor ; or, by providing an extra pair of shortcircuited brushes at right-angles to the brushes 30, as a series repulsion motor. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the rotor connexions are broken, each rotor winding is connected to a commutator, and both stator windings are excited by continuous current, the machine then acting as a continuouscurrent tranformer, which may be used as a booster, balancer, &c. One stator winding may serve as a commutating-winding for the other by suitably arranging their magnetic axes. In another modification, Fig. 4, a compounded alternator is obtained by connecting the rotor and stator windings through the commutators and arranging an auxiliary winding 33 to assist the winding 3, current being taken from slip-rings r, s.
