Title: Improvements in Means for Electrically Driving Machines at Variable Speeds particularly applicable to Printing Machines and the like.
Inventor: JAMES HENRY VINCENT
IPC: H02P5/68
Filed: 1910-07-20
Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 17,247. James, H. V. July 20. Systems for continuous-current motors only.- A motor b fur driving printing-machines &c. is connected in series with an auxiliary machine 2 across the mains g. The machine 2 is driven by an auxiliary motor 1 with a constant excitation. A switch m is provided to vary the resistances l, n in series with the field coils e, f of the machine 2 and motor b. At starting, the switch h is closed and the motor 1 drives the machine 2, which gives an electro-motive force equal and opposite to that of the mains, so that no current flows through the motor b. The switch m is then moved to put resistance in circuit with the field coil e, and thereby to reduce gradually the electro-motive force of the machine 2. As this occurs, an increasing current flows through the motor b in the direction of the electro-motive force of the mains. When the electro-motive force of the machine 2 is reduced to its minimum value, the switch j is closed and the switch i is closed simultaneously. The motor b is thus connected across the mains, and its speed can be increased by switching the resistance n into the field circuit. As the field of the machine 2 decreases, its speed increases, and the machine may run as a motor. It then drives the machine 1 as a generator to return energy to the mains.

Title: Improvements in Spinning Mules.
Inventor: WHITEHEAD PHILIP BRUCE
Filed: 1910-12-14
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 29,014. Whitehead, P. B. Dec. 14. Mules.-In governor motions designed to rotate the screw of the quadrant in one direction or the other automatically when the yarn becomes too slack or too tight, two pokers or other device, connected with the counterfaller in such a manner that as one falls the other rises and vice versa, are employed to engage with racks, the motion of which is transmitted to the quadrant screw. A double ratchet-wheel clutch E, Figs. 1 and 7, is arranged on the quadrant shaft a. On either side of the clutch E are rope pulleys e, e' engaged by open and crossed ropes F, F<1> respectively, and these ropes are connected to a pair of inclined racks G, G<1>, mounted upon a carriage K. The pulleys e, e<1> are mounted upon sleeves on a shaft a and carry spring-controlled pawls e<3> which engage the internal teeth of the ratchet clutch E, which operates, through bevel-gearing e<2>, the screw a<1> of the quadrant. The pokers H, H<1>, Fig. 3, which are adapted to engage the racks G, G<1>, are suspended one by a chain d<1> from an arm d<3> on the counterfaller shaft D, and the other by a chain d from an arm d<2> on the other side of the counterfaller shaft. A chain e from the winding-faller shaft C is also connected to this poker. The carriage K is mounted upon a nut L on a screw L' and is lowered gradually during the building of the cop bottom. The rack G carries a rack M engaging with a loose wheel M<1>. This wheel carries a pawl m which engages a ratchet wheel m<1> fast on the nut L. When the yarn is too tight or too loose the counterfaller rises or falls and one of the pokers descends and engages with its rack. The motion of the carriage is thus transmitted to the rack, and the corresponding rope is moved, rotating the rope pulley and moving the quadrant screw through the ratchet clutch.

Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 12,314. Larsen, A. Sinding-. May 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Silicon chlorides and nitrides; silicon compounds; titanium nitrides. - In a process for fixing atmospheric nitrogen as silicon or titanium nitride, oxide materials, preferably such as contain silica or titanic acid, are heated in a suitable furnace with a reducing-agent and in the presence of a halogen or sulphur, or a body which splits off a halogen or sulphur, or a mixture or compound of these elements, and the halogen or sulphur compounds so obtained are treated directly or after the removal of byproducts with nitrogen at a higher temperature to form the nitrides. In an example, silicon nitrides of varying nitrogen contents are produced by heating quartz sand and coke in a blast furnace and introducing a mixture of chlorine and nitrogen slightly above the furnace bottom. Silicon tetrachloride is first formed and is afterwards converted into the trichloride, which at the high temperature is acted upon, the nitrogen present, forming silicon nitride . and reforming silicon tetrachloride. The siliconchlorine compounds in the escaping gases are condensed and returned to the furnace. It is convenient to maintain two zones in the furnace, one at a red heat in which the halogen compounds are formed, and another at a white heat in which the fixing of the nitrogen takes place. The process may be carried out in separate stages by leading chlorine, carbonyl chloride, or silicon tetrachloride into the furnace, separating the silicon-chlorine compounds formed, and treating these in a separate furnace in the presence of carbon monoxide, sulphur, &c. to take up the separated chlorine. To effect the addition of hydrogen to the nitride formed, the halogen or sulphur compounds used are mixed with halogen hydride or hydrogen sulphide. Carbon bisulphide or sulphur chloride are other suitable sulphur or halogen compounds.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Devices for Automatically Regulating the Humidity and Temperature of Air.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
Filed: 1911-12-04
Granted: 1912-12-04
Abstract: 27,128. Lake, H. W., [Buffalo Forge Co.]. Dec. 4. Hygrometric apparatus.-In apparatus for regulating the humidity of air in textile mills &c., a valve which controls means for altering the humidity is operated by the resultant of two positively opposing forces created by the vapour pressures generated in chambers containing a volatile liquid and subjected respectively to the wet and dry bulb temperatures of the air. Further features of the invention consist in the employment of sulphur dioxide as the volatile liquid and the provision of means whereby a single adjustment of the apparatus enables any desired percentage of humidity to be maintained in spite of fluctuations in the temperature of the air being humidified. In the form illustrated, chambers A, B containing sulphur dioxide and subjected respectively to the wet and dry bulb temperatures generate vapour pressures which influence diaphragm motors D, E acting in opposition on a lever F adapted to operate a valve H controlling the flow of compressed air to means (not shown) for altering the humidity. The lever F is carried by a fulcrum block f adapted to be secured in various positions on a stationary supporting-bar f<1>, and the weight of the lever is counterbalanced by a weighted lever G. The vapour pressures are in a substantially constant ratio for a given percentage of humidity for all temperatures between 50 and 100‹ F.; consequently a single adjustment of the fulcrum block enables any desired percentage of humidity to be maintained, regardless of temperature variations. The lever is preferably graduated so as to indicate positions of the fulcrum for the various percentages of humidity. The apparatus is preferably provided with thermostatic means for controlling the temperature of the air. As shown, a valve i<3> controlling the flow of compressed air to means, not shown, for altering the temperature, is operated against the action of an adjustable spring by a diaphragm motor i influenced by the vapour pressure generated in the dry-bulb member B. Useful accessories consist of ordinarv wet and dry bulb thermometers K. L and an indicator of corresponding wet and dry bulb temperatures for any desired percentage of humidity. This indicator consists of a rotary cylinder N marked with percentages of humidity and scales of wet-bulb temperatures and located behind a slotted plate M provided with a scale of drybulb temperatures. In a modification, the motors D, E act in direct opposition upon the humiony-controlling valve, the apparatus being adapted to maintain a constant difference onlv between the wet and dry bulb temperatures, so that the percentage of humidity varies with fluctuations of temperature.
