Title: Improvements relating to the Drying of or Abstraction of Moisture from Insulated Electric Cables.
IPC: H01B13/30
Filed: 1909-08-23
Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 19,368. Dane, J. E., and Perks, Dane, & Co. Aug. 23. Drying materials in long lengths.-Insulated electric cable to be dried is wound on a drum heated internally by hot air, steam, &c. In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. 2, the damp cable is wound on a drum revolving in pillars on a base capable of turning horizontally. From this drum, the cable passes round a barrel 9 having flanged ends and a hollow axle 12 at one end through which heating-fluid is passed. A drain-tap 25 is provided, and the heating-agent may be passed out through the other axle 13; or this may be solid and another exit provided. The barrel may be turned by a crank-handle 14 on the axle 13, or by other means, the axles rotating in holes in pillars 15 on a plate. Disks 26, integral with, or secured to, the pillars, support a non-conducting jacket 27, Fig. 4, made in two parts hinged together at the part 28. The jacket is held on the disks by divided bands 29 and a screw 31; a door 32 is formed in one of its parts. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the cable passes from the first drum 7 to a vertical drying-drum, and is afterwards coiled on to a " transfer drum " 7. The drying-drum 17 rests on rollers 18 and carries a down-turned part 20 turning in a rigid bearing 21. A stationary pipe 23 supplying the heating-agent passes through the part 20 and through a stuffing-box 22 within the drum. A valve 35 and a draw-off cock 36 are provided. The drum may be turned by a hand ring or handles 24, or by a crank and bevel-gearing. Around the drum is placed a jacket, Fig. 7, formed in two parts hinged together, the part 37 having a door 39 hinged in it with a cable way 40 at the top. The two parts of the door are secured together as shown by a fastening 45, and the jacket has drophandles 46 and another cable way at the bottom. A series of horizontal drying-drums may be used, the heat being transmitted from one to the next. Arrangements may be made for cutting-out any drum. The ends of the drums may be insulated.

Abstract: 19,553. Betulander, G. A. Sept. 3, 1910, [Convention date]. Automatic exchange systems.-In order to bring the selector wipers 1 out of engagement with the contact banks during the setting of the selector, the wiper stem 2 and the actuating-magnets 12, 13 are carried by a frame 7, 8, 9, which may be pivoted at 33 to a fixed disk 34, or may be mounted so as to move in a direction parallel to itself. The wiper stem 2 slides on friction rollers 19 in the arms 7, 8 of the frame, and is fed upwards by a pawl 16 on the armature of a magnet 12. The detent pawl 24 carried by the armature 22 of the magnet 13 only engages the ratchet when the magnet is energized, so that the selector can be released by energizing the magnet 12 alone. The lower part of the iron frame 9 serves as an armature to the poles 39,40 of a magnet 38, which, when energized, swings the frame about the pivot 33 against the action of a spring 36, thus removing the wipers from the contact banks. When the magnets 13, 38 are simultaneously energized, a pawl 43 acted on by the armature of the magnet 13, slips over a shoulder 47 on the fixed disk 34. When the magnet 38 is deenergized, the pawl retains the frame 9 in a middle position, in which the wipers do not engage the contact banks, but in which the contacts 49, closed by the first movement of the frame, are opened. The pawl 43 finally releases the frame when the magnet 13 is de-energized. The test roller 6 carried by a spring 4 engages its contacts in all positions of the frame. The springs 48 on the disk 34 are wired to the different parts of the selector, and automatically make the external connexions when the selector is inserted in its frame. The invention may be applied to two-co-ordinate selectors as described in Specification 410/12. Specification 25,216/11 is also referred to.

Abstract: 22,758. Parry, J. Oct. 16. [Addition to 16,145/10.] Bottles, washing.-The bottle-washing machine described in the parent Specification is modified in the following respects. (1) The bottle-gripping members are fitted with tailpieces g which engage the sliding collar h. The collar is moved to actuate the gripping- members by means of a cam r which oscillates a lever m pivoted on, and resiliently connected to, a pivoted lever k fitted with a fork engaging the collar. The resilient connexion between the two levers allows the grippers to receive bottle necks of varying size, and comprises a spring n mounted between a bracket on the lever m and a collar p on a pin extending from the lever k. In a modified machine for feeding and releasing the bottles by hand, the sliding collars are linked to pivoted hand-levers. (2) The external brushes 3 are suspended in an adjustable spring cradle mounted on the walls of the tank. The ends of the cradle are connected through springs 1 to yokes w which engage one of a series of slots in brackets fitted on the walls of the tank, and are retained therein by pins z. (3) The brushes 4 for the bottoms of the bottles at each end of the machine are connected to a common pivot and are arranged so that the withdrawal of one bottle from the grippers brings the other brush into engagement with the bottle on the other side of the machine. A spring 6 presses each brush alternately against the bottom of the bottle.
