Abstract: 16,709. Nobel's Explosives Co., and Evans, W. T. July 17. Magneto-electric machines; dynamos, driving.- Electric generators for firing fuses &c. are driven by hand through an archimedean screw, and are provided with contacting-devices for connecting to the external circuit at the correct moment. The armature C, Fig. 1, preferably of the double-H type and laminated, is mounted on a tube D and secured by bolts or the like or by means of collars E, one of which may carry a commutator E<1>. A tube N is adapted to be reciprocated by a handle L and carries a nut F which rotates a screwed spindle G supported by a ball bearing H ; this drives the armature through a ratchet J and pawls K, or other suitable clutch. Upon completion of the downward or driving stroke, the external circuit is made by contact between blades Q, Q<1> pressed together by a flange O<1>, operating through a pin P and insulating strip q<1>. The deflexion of the blade Q<1> also breaks contact at q between the armature and an internal resistance. Either the blade Q<1> or the contact q, or both, may be forked or made in two or more parts, having a contact on each, arranged to break circuit successively. The external circuit may also have an automatic contact-maker, preferably operated by the field magnet B. The flexible strip R, Figs. 1 and 5, having preferably more than one contact, is carried by rods r passing through the pole tips and terminating in an iron armature r<1>. The magnet B is preferably series-wound, but may be permanent, and there may be more than one armature. In a modification, the spindle G may be reciprocated, and the field magnets may revolve, the armature being stationary. Means may be provided for preventing use by unauthorized persons.

Title: Improvements relating to the Propulsion of Ships.
IPC: B63H23/24
Filed: 1909-08-30
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 19,871. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 30. Plant; reversing; driving and transmission mechanism, special applications of.-In a system of ship propulsion wherein a prime mover drives an electric generator which supplies current to a motor on the propeller shaft, the prime mover is capable of being reversed so that the circuit connexions between the generator and the motor may remain undisturbed. A reversible high-speed turbine 4, Fig. 1, drives the rotor of an electric generator 14, which is preferably of the multiphase synchronous type. The rotor forms the field magnet and is excited by a separate direct-current exciter 15. The current is taken from fixed terminals 19 by conductors 25 to a squirrel-cage induction motor 24, which drives the propeller 20. The turbine comprises forward and reversing elements mounted upon the same shaft and exhausting into a common exhaust port 33, Fig. 2, leading to a condenser 8. For certain conditions of working, the steam may be led from an outlet 36, Fig. 1, in the high-pressure turbine to a forwardly - running low - pressure turbine mounted upon the propeller shaft 21, the lowpressure stages of the high-pressure turbine being inoperative. When the low-pressure turbine is in. service, and it is desired to reverse the ship, the low-pressure turbine is cut out and the high-pressure turbine is caused to exhaust into the condenser 8. The invention is not confined to systems in which the prime mover is a turbine.

Abstract: 25,076. Harris, W., and Fox, G. E. Nov. 1. Regulating head of liquid directly. - The water-tank 10 of an acetylene generator for a flare lamp is provided with a flanged limb 10<B> on its underside and a similarly flanged up-. take 2 is formed on the water-jacket 1 of the carbide - retort 5, the flanged portions being bolted together and securing between them a disk 3 carrying the controller. This consists of a gas-pipe 4 from the retort, over which telescopes a pipe 6 carried by the disk so that excess of gas drives the water from the jacket up the pipe 6<A>. Or the controller may consist of two pipes fitted in the disk, one of which is connected to a branch in the pipe to the burners and leads the excess of gas back to the jacket. Water passes from the jacket through an external pipe 9 and feed-pipe 7<A>. When however this pipe is not supplying sufficient water, the level rises until it reaches the point 7<c>, whereupon water passes through the loop D and second pipe 7. The water-tank is of such a capacity as to more than fill the water-jacket, so that the head of water does not vary greatly.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Hackling Machines for Treating Flax and other Fibres.
IPC: D01B5/00
Filed: 1910-03-15
Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 6419. Barbour & Sons, W., and McKee, J. A. March 15. Feeding and transferring flax; heckling- machines.-In automatic heckling-machines of the type described in Specifications 17,437/99 and 16,010/01, the crosschannels and turntables are replaced by rotary or travelling devices comprising radial arms, star - wheels, annular rings, &c., provided with carriers for the holders and extending from one main channel to the other. Fig. 1 shows one form, in which the holders B are transferred by means of carriers d mounted upon arms d<1>, d<2>, d<3>, d<4> secured to a hub E. By means of a ratchetwheel e and pawl e2 pivoted to a rocking- lever e<3> connected by a rod f<1> to a cam-operated lever f, the arms are intermittently turned through a quarter of a revolution and bring the holders into position for filling or adjusting. Spring holders, such as described in Specification 15,622/08 are used, and are automatically unclamped and reclamped by means of a ram G acting upon the spring b, Fig. 5, and forks h<4> carried by a rod h acting upon the pawls b<2>. The ram G, Fig. 1, at the filling end is operated to compress the springs by tappets g' engaging a lever g<5>, and is withdrawn, together with the bottom plate of the holder, by means of a cam-operated lever g<3> acting through a link g<4>. The rods h, which are slidably mounted upon the arms d<1> &c., are depressed by means of a cam H and are returned by springs h<9>. During each movement of the arms, two reciprocations are imparted to the ram G for unclamping and re-clamping the holders. At the changing end of the machine, the lever g<5> is operated directly by a cam g<2>, Fig. 1, and the flax is drawn through the holders by nippers l, l<1>, operated by pins m, m<1> acting upon a part l<7> of an arm l<4> connected to the nipper l<1>. The arms d<1> &c. are locked when in the lowest position by a pivoted notched bar N, Fig. 1, coupled to the rod f<1>. A brake p<1>, operated by a rod p<3> connected to the lever f, arrests the hub E after each movement. In the event of the non-withdrawal of the rod h for the reclamping of the holder, a roller h<3> engages with the end s<1> of a lever S and, through the medium of a link s<2>, lever s<3>, and hooked rod s<4>, breaks a toggle s<5> and releases a spring- controlled belt-shifting lever s<7>, stopping the machine. Each of the arms d' &c. at the feed end is provided with a flax rod R, which, in the lowest position, is deflected by a cam r<4> engaging with arms r<2>. At the changing end, the rods R are provided with pans. Fig. 8 shows a modification in which the holders are also turned through a right-angle by gearing d<8> in passing to and from the lowest position at the filling end to facilitate the removal and insertion of the stricks. In place of the spring holders B, screw holders may be employed, the ram G being replaced by devices for unscrewing and screwing. The carriers d may be mounted upon a ring such as described in Specification 17,437/99.
