Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Obtaining a Flow of Electric Current in One Direction from an Alternating-current Source.
Inventor: HEWITT PETER COOPER
Filed: 1904-01-25
Granted: 1904-09-29
Abstract: 1851. Hewitt, P. C. Feb. 3, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Vacuum tubes. -- A continuous current is obtained from an alternating-current source by continuously impressing an electromotive force through vapour in a vessel 11 towards a cathode 10 of mercury or other material capable of reconstructing itself after disintegration. In the arrangement shown, the continuous electromotive force is obtained by using four or more anodes 6, 7, 8, 9 connected to a four &c. phase generator 5, and connecting the circuit from the cathode 10 to a neutral point 13 of the generator. It has been found that the current always enters the cathode at the disintegrating part, so that a large part 15 of the vessel 11 may be of metal. Or the vessel may be formed wholly of metal. The anodes are preferably of chromium, copper, or iron, but may be of mercury. The cathode, when of mercury, yields the conducting-vapour used in the apparatus, other vapours or gases being removed by means of a pump 23 operated continuously or intermittently. The joint between the glass and copper or iron sections 14, 15 may be ground and sealed with mercury or a plastic material. A momentarily-applied high electromotive force or a contact-device is used to break down the starting resistance or reluctance at the cathode. The metallic section 15 of the vessel 11 dissipates the heat generated and tends to keep down the temperature.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Loading Tender Coal and other Cargoes
Inventor: RIGG JAMES
Filed: 1904-07-08
Granted: 1905-06-01
Abstract: 15,274. Rigg, J., and Meacock, T. July 8. Loading; shoots; skips; quay and like gantries and staiths.-Refers to apparatus described in Specification No. 4345, A.D. 1881. In the present arrangement, a shoot is pivoted or slidably connected to a quay post, and delivers coal or other cargoes from railway trucks to a specially-constructed skip which is lowered into the hold when full. The general arrangement of parts is shown in Fig. 1, the output of the shoot A being controlled by the door H worked by a rope from the deck. The skip C is connected to winding-pulleys on a hollow shaft J, each of which has two grooves on its periphery, the second groove carrying ropes attached to a balance weight on the trolley K which runs on a track on the upper surface of the shoot and restores the empty bucket to the loading position. On the shaft J are also fixed brake drums, as seen in Fig. 4, which control the speed of the loaded bucket falling under the action of gravity. The skip, shown in Fig. 6, has an inverted wedge-shaped base and doors which automatically latch on closing, but can be freed by pulling the rope h, Fig. 4, from the deck, thus wedging the brake lever into a recess on the wheel d and thereby stopping this wheel and the shaft J from rotation. Further rotation of the loose winding-pulleys causes the nut n to traverse the radial groove o and release the catches on the doors.

Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 25,171. KriÚger, L. May 24, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Distributing.-In order automatically to limit the variations in intensity of the current supplied to a motor subject to large variations in torque, the motor is excited by current from the armature of an auxiliary dynamo driven at a practically constant speed, the field of which is energized by the current supplied to the motor armature and is capable of rotation about the armature axis so as to vary the potential at the fixed armature brushes, the rotation of the field magnets being opposed by a spring or by a solid of suitable shape dipping into a liquid denser than itself. The field magnet of the auxiliary dynamo 4, which may be driven from the shaft of the main dynamo supplying current to the motor 1 through the field winding of the dynamo 4, is capable of rotation through an angle equal to half the distance between the brushes 5, 6. By suitably constructing the spring or plunger 9, which opposes the rotation of the field magnet, the potential at the fixed brushes 5, 6 may be made to vary in accordance with a law which is a function of the current supplied to the motor 1.
