Title: Improvements in Speed Indicators for Electric Motors.
IPC: G01P3/46
Filed: 1909-03-19
Granted: 1910-03-21
Abstract: 6673. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 19. Electric speed indicators applicable to electric motors comprise means for measuring the impedance or apparent resistance of the motor, and obtaining thereby, according to a given formula, an indication of the speed of the motor. A series traction motor having an exciting-winding a, a compensating-winding b, and an armature winding c, is connected in series with a trolly g and the ground h. A coil e, energized by the potential at the terminals of the motor, gives a flux perpendicular to the flux produced by a coil d in series with the motor. A suitably-mounted armature f takes the direction of the resultant field due to these two fluxes, and by its direction measures the speed of the motor. The resistance of the armature and the effect of saturation may be compensated for by adding along the axis of the coil e coils traversed by the motor current, or the angle between the two coils d, e may be adjusted. With suitable arrangements, the same apparatus may be employed for alternating-current series or repulsion motors.

Abstract: 8849. Lanchester, F. W. April 14. Steering; planes, arrangement of.-To prevent the canting of flying- machines about the axis of flight when turning horizontally, v e r t i c a l rudders are arranged fore and aft of the supporting- member and operated so as to cause the machine to turn about a point abaft of its centre of gravity, so that a diagonal, as well as a rotational, movement of the supporting-member is obtained, the lateral component of this movement producing an " end effect " which gives rise to a torque opposing that which produces canting. In the preferred form, two rudders, or groups of rudders, a, bare arranged in tandem, and connected by mechanism whereby they may be turned in the same sense, but to different degrees, the front rudder turning through the greater angle. For example, the operating-shaft e may carry pulleys c, d of different diameters, the larger of which is connected to a pulley f on the front rudder a and the other to a pulley g on the rear rudder, the diameters of the pulleys f, g being chosen to give the desired movement. In cases where the rudder b can be placed sufficiently to the rear, it may be fixed. The " end " effect may be increased by turning up the extremities of the supporting-plane.

Title: Improved Means for Automatically Closing and Locking the Doors of Railway Cars and such like Vehicles.
Inventor: TYRRELL JOHN CHARLES
IPC: E05B65/42
Filed: 1909-06-28
Granted: 1910-06-28
Abstract: 15,102. Tyrrell, J. C., and Jensen, C. P. June 28. Operating swinging and sliding doors.-Relates to apparatus for closing and locking the doors of railway, tramway, and other vehicles of the kind in which sliding bars provided with racks are operated by toothed gearing by hand from the guard's van or automatically by the movement of the train. The invention is applicable to either sliding or swinging doors. Figs. 2 and 3 show respectively a section and an underneath plan of the guard's van of a train. A pair of rods C mounted under each carriage or between double floors of the same are caused to move in opposite directions by means of toothed wheels E engaging racks C' upon them. The rods are connected together by any suitable means between each carriage so as to extend the whole length of the train. Levers F guided by rollers G and pivoted to the rods at F' have hinged to them elbow pieces F', which are pivoted to the doors A'. When the rods are in their extreme positions in one direction, the levers are in the position shown in full lines, and the doors may be opened ; but in the opposite extreme position of the rods the levers take the position shown in dotted lines, and the elbow pieces F<2> stand approximately at right-angles to the doors, thereby locking them. The rollers G are arranged in such a position that sufficient play is allowed for the doors to prevent trapping of fingers. In the case of sliding doors, the latter are connected directly to the rods C. The rods C are operated either by the movement of the vehicle or by the guard. A spur-wheel H on the rear axle drives a countershaft K through a pinion J, which may slide on the shaft K under the action of a handlever M and carries a clutch N' for engagement with a bevel-wheel N gearing with a bevel-wheel P on a shaft P<1> mounted in bearings in the floor of the vehicle. The shaft P' carries a spur-wheel P<2> gearing with a pinion S' on a shaft S provided with a hand-wheel S<2>, and also carries a pinion P<3> gearing with the toothed wheel E engaging the racks on the rods C. The wheel E has an internally screwed socket T, Fig. 4, into which screws a rod T' having a hand-wheel by which the wheel E may be disengaged from the rods C to enable the latter to be operated from the guard's van at the other end of the train. One of the rods C carries a cam U which contacts the lever M when the rod reaches the end of its stroke, thereby throwing the clutch N' out of gear. The rods are operated by hand to unlock the doors by means of the hand-wheel S'.

Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 13,093. Mandl, J. May 30. Pocket igniters, non-electric.- A cigarette or like case containing a pyrophoric tinder box is fitted with a cover thereto, which opens simultaneously with the action of the igniting-mechanism and closes with the closing of the case. Fig. 1 shows one form of the apparatus. On the inside of the cover 1a of the cigarette case is arranged a flat casing 2, which holds the fuel-reservoir and the igniting - mechanism. A lid 6, operated by the spring 6<a>, covers the igniting-mechanism. A wick 8 in the tube 7 passes from the fuel-reservoir to the level of a pyrophoric substance 9<a>, which is pressed against a file-like rod 11 by a spring 10. The rod 11 can be moved against the action of a spring 12 by the finger to liberate the cover 6. On releasing the rod, the spring forces it back to its original position thereby causing sparks to be emitted from the body 9<a>, which ignite the wick 8. The closing of the cover 6 extinguishes the flame. Fig. 3 shows another form in which the pyrophoric body 9<a> is pressed against a fluted wheel 16 by a spring 10. A forked lever 17 is fitted to the spindle 15, and is connected to the cover 6 by a small jointed rod 18. When the lid is closed, the spring 10 is placed under tension, and on the release of the cover, by means of the spring 23, the rod 27, and the projection 28, the spring 10 acts and causes the body 9<a> to rub upon the wheel 16, so producing sparks. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the body 9a is held against a friction wheel 16 by a spring-and-lever mechanism 10, 10<a>. Beneath the friction wheel, and loosely mounted on the spindle thereof, is a ratchet lever 30, the teeth of which engage teeth on the underside of the wheel. The finger-operated slide 33 carries a pin engaging a slot in the lever 30, and the cover 6 carries a projection 25 which acts upon an inclined surface on the slide 33 to hold the cover closed. On operating the slide, the cover is forced up by a spring, and on releasing the slide, the spring 34 operates the slide and thus the wheel 16, and causes sparks to be emitted from the body 9a.
