Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 18,051. Kleinschmidt, H. Aug. 9. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power. -For transmitting power electrically, two or more unipolar machines are used, one being driven as a generator, and the other or others as motors. In the construction described, two unipolar machines having solid rotors C<1>, C<2> are enclosed so as to face one another in a cylindrical casing made up of the stators A<1>, A<2>. The stators are constructed either in one piece or separately, and sweated together by an electrically conductive non-magnetic ring 1. The rotors are cored out centrally to take bearings formed on the end plates B<1>, B<2> of the stators, and the exciting - windings E<1>, E<2> and copper rings F', F<2>, of cuneiform crosssection, are sunk within the solid rotors. One terminal of each winding is led through a path 3 in each rotor and through the spindle to a ring 5, on which the brush 6 bears. Copper rings H<1>, H<2> are laid in the faces of the rotors, and the internal space contains mercury or finelydivided material so as to form a readily conducting path for the heavy low-tension currents developed in operation. The currents follow the direction of the thick arrows, the rings H<1>, H<2>, I serving to separate the fluxes of the two machines. A battery G, under the control of a switch 7, regulates the relative strengths of the current in the exciting-windings.

Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 23,829. Hupfel, A. G. Oct. 27. Filter-presses; rotary filters or strainers. - In a combined hop press and strainer, comprising a perforated rotary receptacle 1, Figs. 1 and 3, to the interior of which the material to be treated is supplied through perforations 12 from a chamber formed by a stationary sleeve 10, the sleeve bears only against lateral flanges 11 on the strainer.

Abstract: 22,078. French, A. G. Sept. 28. Manganous sulphate, manganese dioxide, sulphuric acid, and zinc, obtaining.-In the extraction of zinc from zinc-lead and other ores deficient in manganese, deposition of reguline zinc is promoted by adding to the electrolyte a solution of manganese sulphate. This is obtained from manganese dioxide which has been deposited at the anode in previous electrolyses, by suspending the dioxide in water and adding sulphurous acid, which is got by washing flue gases from a sulphide-ore calcining furnace. Sulphuric acid is produced in the electrolysis. The electrolyte may contain sodium sulphate in addition to the sulphates of manganese and zinc, as described in Specification 22,077/12, [Class 1 (iii), Oxides &c., Metallic], and may have a specific gravity of from 1À25 to 1À3.

Dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling.-A dynamo - electric machine adapted to run as a motor for starting-up a gasolene engine, and afterwards as a generator driven by the engine for charging a battery, has two armature windings which are connected in parallel for motoring and in series for generating. Fig. 3 shows the connexions of the armature windings 2, 24 when the machine is operating as a motor, the winding 24 being connected in series with the shunt field winding 5, and the other shunt winding 6 being short-circuited through resistances 46, 47. When the engine is up to speed, the battery 14 is disconnected, the short - circuit opened, and the armature winding 24 momentarily short - circuited; the machine then operates as a generator with the armature windings in series. At a predetermined value of the voltage across the windings 24, 2, an electro-magnetic switch 8, 10, 11 operates to connect the. windings 24, 2 to the battery 14 through a series demagnetizing field winding 7. The shunt field windings 5, 6 are connected across the windings 24, 2 and the resistance 47 which has a positive temperature coefficient. A similar resistance 46 is connected in the shunt field circuit. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also an enginestarting and battery-charging system in which a single armature winding is used in conjunction with two shunt field windings, one of low resistance and the other of high resistance, and a series demagnetizing field winding. The machine is operated as a motor with the low resistance shunt field winding in circuit and as a generator with all the field windings in circuit. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 21,048. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Billings Process Co.]. Sept. 17 . Cast-iron processes.-A process for producing from cast iron a steel-like product suitable for direct casting, without preliminary decarburization or refining, consists in simultaneously introducing into the molten iron regulated supplies of carbon or carbonaceous fuel and air or oxygen, the quantity of air or oxygen being limited approximately to that necessary for the complete combustion of the carbon so introduced. As soon as the metal has been highly heated in this way, the additions are stopped, and the metal, while still impregnated with the resulting carbon dioxide, is immediately cast. In the apparatus shown, the molten metal is contained in a 'ladle 1, and the required amount of carbonaceous material is placed in a tube 4 closed by a fusible metal cap. The tube is lowered into the molten metal, whereupon the cap is melted off and the carbon &c. ejected by means of a plunger 18, air at the same time being admitted from a pipe 1.5 through an annular space 9 and holes 13. A further charge of carbon &c. may be introduced if required. When the treatment is complete the tube 4 is removed and the metal immediately cast.
