Title: Improvements in Electric Motor Controllers.
IPC: H02P1/18
Filed: 1910-02-25
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 4814. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. Feb. 25. Controllers with auxiliary switches; controllers with underload release. -Relates to motor controllers comprising armature and field resistances and an auxiliary switch for shortcircuiting the field resistance until the armature resistance has all been cut out. The armature resistance arm first opens the short circuit, and then the field resistance arm varies the speed by regulating the field resistance. The switch comprises two arms 4, 5 connected to one line 32 and moving over contacts 2, 3 connected respectively to the field and armature resistances 30, 31. The armature a and field f are connected to return line 37 and to the resistances. The first contacts of the resistances are connected together and to a hold-on magnet 17, and then by a resistance 43 to the line 37. They are also connected to the auxiliary switch 20, the other end of which is in circuit with the field resistance 30. In operation, the main switch is first closed and the arm 5 moved to the right against a spring 10. A stop 13 on the arm 5 engages a stop 14 on the arm 4, and both members move together off the dead contacts and on to the first contacts of the resistances. The armature circuit is closed from line 32, arm 4, and resistance 31 through armature a to line 37. The field circuit is also closed through the arm 4, first contact 3, switch 20 bridging contacts 22, 23, end of field resistance 30, and field f to the line 37. The field resistance is thus short-circuited by the switch 20, and the armature resistance is gradually removed by the arm 4, which is finally held attracted by the magnet 17 connected from the line 32, through the arm 4, first contact 3, winding 17, and resistance 43, to line 37. When the last armature resistance is removed, a pin 29 on the arm 4 engages a tail - piece 28 on the switch 20. moving it to the contacts 23, 24. The contact 24 being a dead one, the short-circuit is opened. and the field resistance is inserted. The arm 5 is now free to move over the contacts 2 to vary the speed by regulating the field resistance. The field circuit passes through the arm 5 and resistance 30 to the field f. When the arm 5 engages the first contact 2, a pin 18 on the arm engages a lug 19 on the arm 4. If the voltage fails, the magnet 17 releases the arm 4, which then returns to its initial position owing to the spring 10. It carries with it the arm 5, due to the engagement of the pins 13, 14. The switch 20 also flies back to its initial position by means of a spring 26, thereby again short - circuiting the field resistance.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Aeration of Liquids.
Inventor: BILLOWS ARTHUR JAMES
IPC: B01F3/04
Filed: 1910-06-27
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 15,378. Billows, A. J. June 27. Bottling.-An apparatus for aerating liquids, which may be combined with a bottling-apparatus and with means for withdrawing the aerated liquid on draught, comprises a fixed aerating-cylinder 1 supplied with water through an orifice 7 by a pump operated by rotation of a central shaft 4, and with gas through a valve 13, Fig. 3, operated by rollers 34 on the shaft 4. The shaft 4 is made hollow to contain a valve 25 leading to a bottling-frame. The valve is operated to discharge liquid into a bottle by rollers 30 carried by the valve stem riding on cams 31 on the inner surface of the cylinder 1. The bottling-apparatus comprises a head 17, Fig. 3, against which a bottle is held by a screw table, and which is rotated together with the shaft 4. The head contains a snift valve 22 operated by a lever 23 contacting when the bottle is vertical with a cam 35 attached to the aerating-chamber. The snift passage is very short to obtain a dry snift, and the snift is directed away from the operator. As admission of aerated liquid into the bottle takes place when the bottle is passing from an horizontal into a vertical position, a charge of syrup may be introduced into the bottle before its insertion into the apparatus. Also, as the pressure is snifted from the bottle when in its upright position, the apparatus may be used to charge bottles adapted to be closed by corks, screws, or swing stoppers, and also internally-stoppered bottles.

Inventor: DOERR GUSTAV CHRISTIAN
IPC: D06P1/673
Filed: 1911-03-21
Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 7057. D÷rr, G. C. April 1, 1910, [Convention date]. Substantive-dye processes.-Vegetable fibres, such as cotton, flax jute, ramie, &c. are dyed fast shades with direct or substantive dyes, for example, benzidine and diamine dyes, from baths containing silicate of potassium, sodium, or other alkali. It is stated that unboiled fibres may be dyed in these baths since the alkali present removes the spinning oils and other adherent impurities, while the contained silica precipitates the dye on the fibre. The material to be dyed is turned over in the hot bath; this is then boiled and the material left in it for some time. Organic and inorganic salts, for example, sodium formate, acetate, sulphate, or chloride, and turkey-red oil may be added to the bath. Examples of suitable dyes are: for yellow, chrysophenine or diphenylchrysoine; for red, benzopurpurine or benzo fast red; for blue, benzo or diamine pure blue; for black, diamine or benzo black.

Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 6061. Becker, F. A. March 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Transformers.-Eddy currents are minimized in the iron layers of the cores of transformers or inductances for use as Pupin or like capacityreducing coils, by shaping or dividing the cores, or by varying their magnetic qualities locally so that the flux is uniformly distributed throughout their section. According to one method, the core disks are given such length of magnetic path and cross-section, or are so cut or slit, as to ensure a uniform flux density. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the core disks a of the windings d are shaped as shown and are slotted at c; or, as shown in Fig. 2, wedgeshaped slots c may be provided in annular disks to increase the otherwise low reluctance along the inner periphery. The density may also be unified by reducing the permeability of non- subdivided areas, as by means of a continuous magnetizing-current, so that its value for cyclic induction may be controlled locally. According to another method, the core is subdivided at right-angles to the planes of greatest field variation, as by winding a core strip spirally upon itself to form an annular core, or by placing concentrically within each other rectangular core elements b, Fig. 4, or other elements having similar geometric forms. Alternatively, the layers may be galvanically deposited one on another. The inner elements may be thinner than the outer; or they may be of metal of higher electric or magnetic resistivity to increase the peripheral reluctance. The above methods may be used in combination. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that by means of thick uniform insulating layers, the space between the various windings can be controlled. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
