Patent GB-190117565-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Starting and Working Electrically Actuated Lifts with two Cages
Filed: 1901-09-02
Granted: 1902-01-02
Abstract: 17,565. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt -Ges.]. Sept. 2. Motors, controlling.-Relates to an arrangement by which waste of energy is minimized in (1) the starting of high-speed electrical lifts, and (2) the working of a lift at a lower speed for passengers. The first object is effected by the apparatus shown in Fig. 2. Accumulator cells in four groups are connected up in the way shown to two rows q, r of contact-plates. As the ascent of one cage must necessarily be succeeded by the ascent of the other, the contacts o, p for the driving-motor, which occupy the position s when the cages are at rest, are moved along the bars q, r from s to t and s to u alternately to start and reverse the motor. In this way it will be seen that the accumulator cells are put into circuit in reverse order, with the result that all the cells are equally worked. In special cases, when the end groups of the battery are discharged more rapidly than the others, they may be separately charged by a rotary converter. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement by which the slow ascent for passenger work is obtained by alternately connecting the armature, or armatures, of the motor to the two halves of an accumulator battery arranged in series. The charging-generator g is connected to the ends of the battery b, from the middle of which a lead passes to the motor m. The reversal of the motor by the switch d thus automatically throws one half of the battery out of action and the other half in. This arrangement may be modified for the starting of the lift when working at its high speed.

Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving Bags and other Tubular Fabrics
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
Filed: 1901-09-07
Granted: 1902-07-31
Abstract: 17,907. Hollingworth, E., [Hutchins, G. F.]. Sept. 7. Loom let-off motions; shuttle boxes.-Relates to looms for weaving bags and other tubular fabrics, and particularly those looms in which two shuttles are simultaneously thrown from opposite sides of the loom. The warp 41 travels over a roller 43, and is then separated into four sets of threads, two sets respectively forming the upper part of the top shed and the lower part of the bottom shed, and the remaining sets forming the central parts of the double shed, and also serving as a race-way for the top shuttle. The threads pass over or under tension rollers or bars 45, supported by two parallel bars 46, which are oscillated by means of an arm 50, rod 52, and cam 51. By this arrangement, the central warp threads, serving as a race-way for the top shuttle, are kept tight. In a modified form of tension-regulating apparatus, the warps pass over rollers carried by bent levers which are pivoted upon fixed pins and are connected by means of pin-and-slot connections. In a second modification. the tension rollers are supported by levers pivoted together like scissor blades, and connected by links to a roller which is free to reciprocate under the control of a spring. The shuttle boxes are attached, at their central parts, to reciprocating rods 23, actuated by means of links 27, levers 25, and cams 24. The shuttles are guided, as they pass out of or into the shuttle boxes, by movable guideplates pivoted to the lay and held in their normal or horizontal positions by springs. In a modification, the shuttle boxes are pivoted at their outer ends, and oscillated by means of links connected to a rocking lever. A projecting flange or lip, which may be cushioned, is attached to each shuttle box to stop the shuttle when the box is not in correct position.

Granted: 1902-08-28
Abstract: 25,394. Imray, O., [CoppÚe, E.]. Dec. 12. Regulators.-A gas regulator, principally intended for regulating the gas supplied to a coke oven, by diverting excess gas to a gas holder or elsewhere, but applicable generally, and suitable for regulating the pressure of blast-furnace gases supplied to boiler furnaces, or motors, consists of a water reservoir E, a horizontal pipe D, and upright pipes A, B. The reservoir E is supplied with an adjustable overflow F, so that the apparatus will work at any desired pressure, but in any case the water will rise sufficiently high to fill the tube D. The gas is supplied by a branch A from the main pipe. If the pressure increases unduly, the water is driven back in the pipe D, allowing gas to escape by the pipe B to the gasometer or other apparatus. An automaticallyacting throttle valve in the pipe B opens only for passage of the gas from the tube D, and prevents return of gas from the gasometer or other apparatus.
