Title: Improvements in the Current Commutation of Commutator Frequency Converters.
IPC: H02M5/32
Filed: 1910-03-04
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 5479. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. March 4. Rotary converters; frequency transformers.-In commutator frequency converters &c., good commutation is obtained by means of one or more separate multipolar windings, which do not act magnetically on the first harmonic of the main field and are adapted to compensate wholly or partly the varying harmonic fields due to the load currents of the converter. The multipolar windings, which are situated on the stator or rotor or on both. are wound for a number of poles equal to a multiple of the number of the main field, and may be short-circuited, or may be connected in series with the commutator brush circuit, if on the stator, and with the slip-ring circuit, if on the rotor. When short-circuited multipolar windings are used, it is impracticable to employ local auxiliary poles and windings to counteract the self-induction and the transformer voltages of the short-circuited armature coils. The load fields are greatest when the connexion points on the slip-ring side lie symmetrically between the brushes as shown in Fig. 4 where i<1>, i<2>, i<3> rapresent the slip-ring current distribution and i<a>, i<b>, i<c> the commutator current distribution, the resultant current distribution being represented by the curve J. The polyphase shortcircuited winding may be arranged to annul completely this resultant current distribution and may consist of two separate polyphase windings, each winding having three phases star-connected and short-circuited as shown in Fig. 6. In a modification the higher harmonic fields due to the slipring and commutator current distribution are separately compensated by two distinct compensating-windings, one on the rotor and the other on the stator and energized by the slip-ring current and the commutator current respectively. If the curve i<1>, i<2>, i<3> represent the distribution of the slip-ring current in the armature winding the ideal sinusoidal curve is more nearly obtained if a second harmonic sinusoidal curve K<1> is added to the curve i<1>, i<2>, i<3>. A zigzag curve approximating to the sinusoidal curve K<1> is obtained by distributing conductors carrying the slip-ring currents i<I>, i<II>, i<III>, as indicated by the hatched areas and by the positive and negative valves. A similar compensating-winding excited by the commutator current is arranged on the stator. By suitably arranging these compensating-windings, they may be caused to annul a higher harmonic than the second. In rotary converters, the higher harmonic fields due to the slip-ring currents may be annulled either by a multipolar compensating-winding on the armature carrying the slip-ring current or by a multipolar short-circuited winding on the stator. The latter would not interfere with auxiliary commutation windings.

Title: An Improved Process of and Means for Extracting the Free Hydrogen Contained in Industrial Gases.
Inventor: GEORGE FRANCOIS JAUBERT
IPC: C01B3/10
Filed: 1910-09-23
Abstract: 22,126. Jaubert, G. F. Sept. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Hydrogen.-The free hydrogen and carburetted gases (hydrocarbons and carbonic oxide) contained in industrial gas, such as coal, wood, or water gas, are, in effect, separated by (1) passing such gas over a ' catalytic mass ' with a base of iron oxide at a temperature between 800‹ and 900‹ C., whereby only the free hydrogen reduces the mass and a carburetted gas of higher calorific value is obtained; and then (2) treating the mass with steam between 800‹ and 900‹ C., whereby pure hydrogen is recovered. The mass consists of iron oxide, Fe2O3 or Fe3O4; refractory earth, such as refractory cement, brick earth, or volcanic cement; calcined magnesia; and catalytic substances, namely, oxide of lead, copper, chromium, or manganese. The whole is mixed in a dry powdered form and kneaded with water to form suitable briquettes, which are air-dried and burnt in a kiln. In practice, a current of industrial gas received through an hydraulic seal s, scrubber q, gas-holder o, three-way cock k, and collector pipe j, is sent through three-way cocks e, f, g to the bottoms of three retorts, or rows of retorts b, c, d, set in a furnace a and containing the briquettes, at such a speed that only the contained hydrogen functions in the reducing action. The residual carburetted gas obtained passes away from the tops of retorts through other three-way cocks t, u, v, a collector-pipe y, a pipe 2, and three-way cock 3 to a reservoir. When the reduction is complete, steam is admitted through a third collector-pipe x to the tops of the retorts. The hydrogen correspondingly set free is, at first, impure, and is sent through pipes z, 2, 5 to the inlet to the scrubber q to enrich the subsequently-used industrial gas. When the hydrogen produced is pure, it is directed through a fourth collectorpipe h to a second scrubber i, and thence for use. The retorts are freed from impurities introduced by the industrial gas by blowing air from a blower m through them from the first main three-way cock k, and discharging the burnt impurities through the second main cock 3. Preferably, the retorts are arranged in groups of three, or three series of retorts may be provided. Purifiers &c. may be provided. A compressor &c. may be arranged in the path of the industrial gas to increase the efficacy of the apparatus.

Abstract: 23,200. Walker, J. Oct. 7. Shuttles.-A shuttle-threading device of the kind described in Specifications 28,333/02, 11,412/06, and 20,432/09, comprises a metal block, which has a circular longitudinal thread passage 1 and is secured in position by a stud 16 and by a screw 18. To thread the shuttle, the weft is drawn into a slit 3 leading to the passage 1, and is then drawn into a passage 4; which leads to the eye 9 and is arranged between the body of the shuttle and the part 5 of the threading-device. Unthreading is prevented by a beak 14 and by a lug 10, which enters a slot 11 formed in the block. The stud 16 may be bored to receive a number of short threads 19, which brush the weft and apply drag to it.

Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 23,659. Reid, G. B. Oct. 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Firing-appliances applicable generally; breech actions, revolving-chamber.-Consists in a firing- mechanism in which the hammer is being cocked during the entire pull of the trigger, and is slipped for discharge as soon as the trigger is released. The mechanism is shown applied to a revolver. The hammer D is cocked by a cocking-arm B pivoted to the trigger I. The cocking-arm has a laterally projecting pin or roller C, Figs. 5 and 6, and pivoted at the side of the casing is a cam A having a forwardly-inclined top edge. During the pull of the trigger, the stud C presses the cam sideways against the pressure of a spring L, Fig. 5. At the end of the pull, however, the cam is pressed inwards and engages under the stud C. As soon, then, as the trigger is released, the cocking-arm is swung forwards by the top edge of the cam, and releases the hammer. A set-screw S is provided on the trigger to adjust the length of pull. A push-piece N, Fig. 5, is provided for rendering the cam A inoperative.

Abstract: 27,370. Dicker, S. G. S., [Call Automatic Switch Co.]. Nov. 24. Stub switches.-Railway track switches of the double stub-rail type, in which at the pivot end one rail of each pair makes alinement with a siding rail, and the other rail of each pair makes alinement with a trailing main-line rail, are provided with stops or abutments rigidly connected with the main-line rails for engaging the free ends of the stub rails, so as to take the lateral thrust of the vehicle wheels. In the construction shown, the stub-rails 16, 17, 16<a>, 17<a> are carried by and pivotally mounted at 19 on metal plates 10, 10<a>, to which the adjacent rails 11, 12, 13 are rigidly secured. These plates are formed with slots 23, in which pins 22, secured to the connecting-blocks 18, are adapted to work. These slots are of such a length that the pins engage their end walls when the switch is set in either of its extreme positions. The lateral thrust is thus taken by the plates 10, 10<a> and connected rails, thus maintaining accurate alinement. The stub-rails are prevented from lifting by forming them with end extensions which engage slots in the fixed rails.
