Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 19,867. Marks, E. C. R., [Akt.-Ges. f³r Trikotweberei vorm. Geb. Mann]. Aug. 25. Drawings to Specification. Waterproof fabrics; compound fabrics; elastic fabrics; backings.-Relates to rubber articles with insertions of knitted fabric with or without the addition of woven fabric, and consists in using, in hard rubber articles such as tyre covers, tyres, steampipes, and coverings for electric cables, a knitted insertion in which the loops are formed of yarn so worked as to render the insertion substantially equal to the rubber used in respect of its elasticity, resilience, and resistibility. In the manufacture of tyre covers, described by way of example, a very thick soft twisted yarn is worked in a knitting - frame with the finest possible needles so as to produce a very fine mesh. The yarn may be impregnated with oil or the like, and may be dressed with rubber substitutes, resins, or the like.

Filed: 1910-09-28
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 22,469. Lloyd, E. F. Sept. 28. Scrubbers.-A gas scrubber comprises a rectangular casing divided into compartments by pairs of partitions 2, 3, the partitions 3 having a gas passage at the top and being water-sealed at the bottom, and the partitions 2 having a gas opening near the bottom, the arrangement being that gas entering by an inlet 4 ascends in each compartment through scrubbing-material and then descends between the partitions to reach the next compartment. The scrubbing - material comprises trays of upright sheets spaced apart and resting on ledges 6. Water from a pipe 15 flows from compartment to compartment over the lower edges of the gas openings in the partitions 2 in the opposite direction to the flow of gas. A rotary or other pump withdraws water from the bottom of each compartment, and sprays it over the top of the scrubbing - material in the same compartment. An inclined plate 25 in each gas passage produces from the falling water a spray through which the gas passes. The partitions 2, 3 are spaced apart by upright posts, to which closing- doors are secured, giving access to the scrubbing- trays in each compartment.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Control of Alternating Current Electric Motors.
Inventor: ALEXANDERSON ERNST FREDRIK WER
IPC: H02K27/04
Filed: 1911-03-31
Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 8149. Alexanderson, E. r. W. April 2, 1910, [Convention date]. Systems for alternating-current motors only. -In an alternating-current compensated series motor which starts as a repulsion motor, the voltage supplied to the compensating winding is given a component which is out of phase with the supply voltage, in addition to the in-phase component given by the known shunt excitation of this winding used at high speeds. The application to a motor, Fig. 1, with plain shunt excitation of the compensating-coil C for high speeds is shown in Fig. 3, the vector relation being shown in Fig. 2. The lines 2, 4 and 4, 1 represent the portions of the supply voltage applied to the compensating-coil and the armature A and exciting coil B in series, the lines 1, 5 and 4, 5 showing the drops across the armature and exciting coil respectively in phase and both in quadrature with the motor current 1, 3. By adding a voltage 4, 8, out of phase with the supply volts 1, 2 to the in-phase volts 2, 4 applied to the compensating-coil, an increased compensating voltage 2, 8 is obtained. This may be done as in Fig. 2, by tapping the coil C on to the exciting-coil B. In place of tapping directly on to the coil B, this coil and the coil C may be tapped across a compensator connected between the armature and the transformer D. This method is shown as applied to a pair of motors in Fig. 5. In the starting position, as shown, the armatures A, A' are short-circuited at F, and, when the speed is such that the repulsion motor commutation becomes poor, the left-hand terminal of the compensator E is connected to the line transformer D through the resistance H by closure of the switch G. The switches F, J are then opened and closed respectively, giving the running connexions.

Abstract: 27,513. Ostrorog, S. J., Count. Dec. 7. Actuating.-In apparatus operated by means of an electric current for controlling the supply of gas to a gas-burner, the pawl h for actuating a ratchet-wheel c of the rotatable cock, disk valve, or the like is constructed as shown in Fig. 5, so that the valve is automatically brought to a stop at the end of each stroke. The pawl is carried by a lever g pivoted at z and weighted at one end. When the circuit is completed, the armature oscillates the lever g into the position shown in dotted lines, the end s<1> of a stop s on the pawl at the same time contacting with the lever whereby the path of the pawl tends to cross the path of the ratchet teeth, and the parts are automatically brought to rest.

[Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Transfer mechanism.-Relates to transfer or carrying mechanism for cash registers and the like, as for instance for the cams for operating the change delivery mechanism of changemaking machines. Each denomination comprises a cam or numeral element 20, 37, 38 and pinion 3G, 36<a>, 36<b> corresponding thereto with ball bearings between, the pinion in each case being feathered on to a sleeve 17, 35, 35<a> having a bevelled projection 17<b>, Fig. 3, and an inclined groove 17<1>, to engage its denominational drum. It is by the longitudinal movement of these sleeves that transfer is effected, the element 20 &c. being thereby given a unit movement relatively to its own pinion. The sleeves are thrust longitudinally by bars 27, Fig. 4, sliding in keyways in the fixed shaft 1. The bars 27 are bevelled in the direction 26 of the lower denomination and recessed to take rings 30, Fig. 6, having gated cam rings 31 bearing on supporting-sleeves 29 and engaging each a sloped tooth 24 on a sleeve 23 also feathered on the corresponding sleeve 17. By this means a single transfer is effected to drum 20 by the lower pinion 18 through sleeve 17, sleeve 23, cam 30, slide bar 27, and sleeve 17 with its inclined slot. In the case of two successive transfers, as when subtracting fifty francs five centimes from sixty francs, the transfer movement is carried on by the sleeve 35 sliding through the held pinion 36, and pushing the upper slide bar for the still higher denomination. The unnecessary parts of the mechanism are omitted for the extreme highest and lowest denominations.

The strong inner hull extends above the outer hull and is cylindrical in cross-section. Forward and after trimming- tanks, an auxiliary ballast tank, and an adjusting-tank are also fitted. The trimming- tanks and the auxiliary ballast tank are made capable of withstanding the pressure of deep submergence being seldom filled. The adjusting-tank is used as described in Specification 16,160/05. The inner hull 2 does not extend entirely to the bow, but is completed by a compartment 3. Beneath the hull 2 and the exterior hull 18 is provided a rectangular strong chamber, a part 19 being for the reception of the accumulators, and a part 21 for the adjusting-tank. The forward part of the strong hull is slightly elliptical, and the vessel is generally of the external configuration of the vessel described in Specification 16,742/07. The extreme bow portion functions as a ballast tank, and the space between the inner and outer hull amidships is so proportioned that when it is filled the vessel is awash. A superstructure 31 built throughout the vessel serves to reinforce the whole, and is self-bailing and self-filling. Specification 14,412/06 is referred to.
