Abstract: 28,850. Akt.-Ges. vorm. Seidel und Naumann. Dec. 22, 1911, [Convention date]. Multiplying and dividing apparatus.-Three arrangements are described of means for giving an alarm whenever the capacity of a Thomas machine is exceeded, no matter what may be the position of the figure-rule at the moment. In the machine shown in Fig. 3, in which transfer mechanism connects all the numeraldisks when the figure-rule is in its normal position, the alarm-apparatus is carried entirely by the figure-rule. As soon as the highest numeral-disk 1 completes a revolution, a pin 2 thereon engages the cam-shaped projection 6 of a spring-controlled lever 11 mounted in a groove 8 and carrying a hammer 12, and actuates the gong 13. In a second form, adapted for machines in which the transfer mechanism does not extend to all the numeral-disks situated at the left-hand of the rule when in normal position, the gong 13 is supplemented by a second stationary gong placed in proximity to the extreme left-hand transfer mechanism. In the third form, shown in Fig. 8, the gong 13 is mounted upon the fixed part of the framework and is actuated in all positions of the rule by a swinging bail 14 attached to a rod 19 and to the hammer-mechanism of the gong. The bail is operated by the highest numeral-disk 1 by means of the engagement of the radial arm 24 with the cam-shaped end of a plunger 25 mounted on the rule. In this form, the gong is arranged in proximity to the extreme left-hand transfer mechanism, which need not necessarily be associated with the extreme lefthand numeral-disk, if the transfer mechanism does not extend throughout the machine. The length of the bail 14 or the like is equal to the distance through which the figure-rule can be displaced.

Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 4197. Graham, E. A. Feb. 18. Diaphragm horns.-In a diaphragm horn comprising an electromagnetically-operated striker, the impacts are transmitted to the diaphragm indirectly through a device which produces a suddenly augmented controlling-force upon the striker, such that by mutual reaction very abrupt movements are imparted to the impact-transmitting device. In the arrangement shown, a pivoted hammer lever m is interposed between the electromagneticallyoperated striker i and the diaphragm a. The lever m is connected by a spring p to the pivoted armature r carrying the striker, whereby, when the striker is operated, the blow on the lever m suddenly augments the force of the spring. By these means the movements of the hammer lever are rendered very abrupt, causing the diaphragm to give sounds of a very short or snappy character. The striker carries a contact j co-operating with the stationary contact k.

Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 6668. Nodon, A. L. C. March 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Wood, treating.-Cellulose and substances of which it forms the principal constituent, for instance wood, are strengthened and rendered rot-proof by superficial impregnation with water or a solution of a salt such as sodium chloride or sulphate or zinc chloride, followed by prolonged passage of electric current. Cut wooden articles such as railway sleepers, joists, and paving-blocks need only be soaked to a depth of a few centimetres, the impregnation being completed by the current. Periodically-reversed current or alternating current of low frequency may be used. Green oaken sleepers 12 centimetres thick, stacked 8 deep and 12 high. may be treated for six hours with alternating current of 20 amperes per cubic metre at a pressure of 110 volts, the frequency being 55. Green fir under otherwise similar conditions reqnires 15 amperes per cubic metre for eight hours. White woods are less resistive, and can be treated more quickly. Preferably, however, the electric pressure is in all cases adjusted so that the treatment lasts ten hours, overheating being thus avoided. Isomeric change of the cellulose is said to occur. In the apparatus shown, a cement or asphalt floor a situated near cement soaking-tanks j is covered with conducting-material, such as sheet lead, galvanized metal, or metal fabric, on which is laid a coarse wet fabric. The substance under treatment is then stacked on the wet fabric between posts d. A second sheet of wet fabric, an upper flexible electrode, say of galvanized steel chainmail, copper, or other metal fabric, or sheet lead, and a weight i, are laid on .the stack. Good contact between the material and the covers mav be ensured by the use of iron bars and the like.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Protection of Alternating Current Electric Generators.
IPC: H02H7/06
Filed: 1914-03-31
Granted: 1915-03-31
Abstract: 8173. British Thomson-Houston Co., Clough, F. H., and Whitcher, J. March 31. Protective arrangements.-Relates to the protection of alternating-current generators having parallel windings. The inductive effects of the currents in the respective windings are arranged to produce a steady resultant, any disturbance of which, due to a fault on the machine, sets a disconnecting- switch in action. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement for a single-phase generator. The leads 4, 5 from the parallel windings 1, 2 contain series transformers, the secondaries 7, 8 of which are connected so as normally to circulate current in a closed circuit having a shunt connexion containing the trip coil 9 of the disconnecting-switch 10. In the event of a leak in the machine, current flows through the shunt connexion due to disturbance of the normal ratio between the effects of the two parallel windings. An ammeter 11 and time-limit overload fuse 12 may be placed in the circulating secondary current circuit. In a modification, the transformers 7, 8 are connected in opposition so that no current normally flows, and the trip coil 9 is placed in series with them. In applying the arrangements to three-phase machines with the neutral point earthed, each phase is similarly protected. For three-phase machines with an insulated neutral point, protection on two phases is sufficient. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which a transformer secondary 8 energized by the current from one of the parallel windings of the generator is connected to a transformer secondary energized by the sum of the currents in the parallel windings. The trip-coil 9 is placed in a shunt connexion and is responsive to a leak as in the first modification. According to a further modification, Fig. 4, the protective arrangement is applied to a single-phase generator with parallel windings associated with a step-up transformer 14 fed by the combined current of the two windings. In this case, the protective circuit consists of a transformer secondary 8 energized by current in one of the generator windings 5, connected to a transformer secondary 13 energized by current in one of the out-going mains 16 of the step-up transformer, together with shunt-connected tripcoils 9, overload fuse 12, and ammeter 11 as in the first modification.
