Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 23,342. Fairweather, W., [National Car Advertising Co.]. Oct. 12. Reel and web apparatus.- An advertising - device comprises longitudinally travelling signs B, pivoted at one end to an endless driving- chain C, which carries them along tracks a, a<2>, Figs. 2 and 8, terminating at least a sign's length from a sprocket-wheel D', Fig. 5, carrying the chain C, whereby the pivoted end of a sign B is carried round at the sprocketwheel D'; then the free end of the sign is pressed against the wedge-shaped end of the preceding sign, and is forced on to an incline A<5> and moved over to the other side-tracks a', a<3>, Figs. 2, 5, and 8, broken at parts to receive the sign-wheels b, b. In changing back to the tracks a, a<2>, just beyond the other sprocketwheel D, Fig. 8, that bears the chain C, gravity drops the loose end of the sign along an incline A<3> while the chain C draws the pivoted end on to the tracks a, a<2>. Another sprocket-wheel on the shaft of the sprocket-wheel D is driven through chain-gearing by a shaft G, Fig. 1, driven by bevel-gearing from a shaft I, pivoted at the axis of the shaft K by a yoke L. The shaft G is geared to a wheel upon the shaft of a star-wheel that guides the trunnions round the sprocket-wheel D<1>. A star-wheel serving a similar purpose at the other end of the apparatus may be driven directly on the shaft of the sprocket-wheel D. The sprocket-wheel D and its star-wheel may have projecting bosses, against which the fixed ends of the signs press as they reverse their direction of travel. Sagging of the chain C may be avoided by connecting it to each sign by a trunnion F, Fig. 10, with one end f serving as a pivot of the chain C, the other end having a screwthread with an adjustable nut, adapted to rest on the upper edge of the sign. The apparatus has its rails attached to trough-shaped ends A; A', Fig. 2, held together by nuts and bolts p, p', P. It may be set in position on an inclined block N on a beading M, and its upper end secured by a spring 0, O<2>, O<3>, gripped by the nut p. Security is assured by placing the lower nut p<1> in a groove n in the wooden block N.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Purifying Liquids by Electricity.
Inventor: HARTMAN HARRY BUXTON
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 1910-01-19
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 1462. Hartman, H. B. Jan. 19. Make - and - break switches, mechanical.- In electrolytic liquidpurifying apparatus, the electric current is periodically and automatically reversed by a switch operated by the flow of liquid, preferably in combination with a switch acting to make and break the circuit respectively on the starting and stopping of the liquid flow. In order to actuate the reversing-switch, a pipe 67 runs from the valve chamber 15 to a tank 63. While the valve 18 is open, liquid is continually flowing through the pipe and accumulating in the tank, thus gradually raising a ball float 65 attached to an axle 58, which carries a pawl 60 driving through a ratchet clutch 61 the reversing-switch 44. When the arm of the float has made approximately a quarter-turn, the siphon 66 discharges the liquid, and the float falls back. The action is continually and automatically repeated. The switch consists of an insulating body of square section carrying two pairs of metal plates 45, 46 and 47, 48, each plate being bent at right-angles so as to occupy two adjacent sides of the square. The plate 46 is cross-connected through the insulating-body to the plate 48, and the plate 47 to the plate 45. Two pairs of brushes 49, 50, 51, 52 lie against adjacent sides, as shown in Fig. 5, and are connected to the wires 9, 10, 41, 42, so that the direction of electric current from the switch 32 to the electrodes of the purifying-chamber is reversed at every quarterturn of the switch. The brushes are made of stiff spring, so as to produce a quick snapaction. over the corners from one position to the next. The invention is described in connexion with the electrolytic apparatus which forms the subject-matter of Specifications 1459/10 and 1460/10, [Class 41, Electrolysis]. Switches, quick-break.-When the service tap (not shown) is opened, the liquid acts by its pressure to close a quick-break switch 32, thus completing the circuit of the electrodes, and acts further to raise a valve 18 so as to afford itself passage for free outflow. The construction of the switch and the apparatus for actuating the switch and valve is described in Specification 1461/10.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Controlling and Regulating Apparatus.
Inventor: RANKIN ROBERT
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 1910-04-20
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 9530. Rankin, R. April 20. Equalizing load; boosting; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for. - The field of a booster or exciter therefor is arranged to be supplied with current from two separate sources, the direction of the current i n t h e field being under the control of a potential or current switch, which may also vary the strength of the exciting-current. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, one end of the booster field-winding n is connected to the middle point of a battery g, g<1>, and the other end is connected to contacts h mounted upon a lever e. The lever e is under the control of a current coil d and an adjustable spring f, which is set to keep the lever e in the position shown, when the current from the dynamo c is normal. The terminals of the battery are connected through contacts i, resistances l, levers carrying contacts j, and the contacts k. The operation of the arrangement is as follows:-When the current from the dynamo c exceeds its normal value, the solenoid d causes the contact h to engage the upper contact j, and finally raise the lever carrying it from the contact k, so that current passes from the portion g of the battery through the upper resistance l and field winding n. A further movement of the arm e causes the contact j to engage the contact i, thereby short-circuiting the resistance l and causing the booster to assist in the discharge of the battery g, g<1>. When the current from the dynamo c falls below its normal value, the spring f causes the lower contacts i, j to engage, thereby causing the part g<1> of the battery to supply the field winding n with current in the opposite direction in order that the booster may assist in the charging of the battery g, g<1>. Condensers m are arranged to prevent sparking at the contacts i, j. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the solenoid d is controlled by a solenoid o. The solenoid o is connected to a lever p carrying a contact t. A pivoted arm r carries a contact u, and is connected to a core v carrying a winding w in series with the fieldwinding n. The core v is placed in the gap of the magnet x, which is provided with a winding y,. the circuit of which is completed across the battery g, g<1> when the arm e is moved from its normal position. When the current in the fieldwinding n and coil w attains too high a value, the arm r is caused to vibrate, thereby preventing the booster from hunting.

Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 17,110. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. July 18. Regulating delivery by varying speed of motor.-The motor A that drives a pump supplying an accumulator &c. is controlled by a weighted arm 35 pivoted at 35<1> and having on it a coil 39 which controls a distributing-valve 11 for moving the rheostat arm 17. The arm 35 is moved up or down in accordance with the fluctuations in pressure on a diaphragm 36, and the core of the coil 39 is pivoted to an arm 41, which is also pivoted to the arm 35. A rod 43 connects the free end of the arm 41 to a lever 27. Points 26, 28 in this lever are connected respectively to the valve-rod 25 and to one arm 28<1> of a bell-crank lever which oscillates about a fixed pivot 30. The other arm 29 of the bell-crank lever is connected by a rod 32 to a rod 22, which is connected both to the switch arm and to the piston 8 of the fluidpressure actuating-device. So long as the coil 39 is energized, ports 9, 10 are connected to the pressure pipe 13 or exhaust pipe 14, according as the arm 35, actuated by the fluid pressure on the diaphragm, causes the valve to traverse across the face of the ports. The speed of the motor is thus regulated by the amount of work that it is required to perform. When the coil 39 is de-energized, its plunger falls, and the valve 11 is maintained at the upper extremity of its travel, irrespective of the position of the arm 35.
