Patent GB-191009153-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Switches, Cut-outs and the like.
Inventor: TRIER WERNER ANTON
IPC: H01H29/26
Filed: 1910-04-15
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 9153. Trier, W. A. April 15. Mercury switches. - Switches wherein mercury is caused to make or break a circuit at a given speed of rotation are constructed with a stationary hollow casing containing a rotatable disk-like member, a body of mercury in the space between the casing and the disk, and one or more stationary contacts to which the mercury is drawn by the action of the rotating disk. Alternatively, the casing is made rotatable and the disk stationary. When the disk B is at rest, the mercury occupies the lower part of a narrow space G between it and the casing. C. At a sufficient speed cf rotation, the mercury is lifted up to a contact E; or across a pair of contacts disposed as shown in Fig. 3. The edge of the disk may be grooved or corrugated to increase its grip on the mercury. According to the modification shown in Fig. 4, a series of contacts E<2>, E<3>, E' are successively covered as the speed increases, for use in starting-switches.

Title: Improvements in Controllers for Electric Motors.
IPC: H02P29/00
Filed: 1910-04-21
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 9736. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. April 21. Systems for continuous-current motors only; controllers with auxiliary switches.-In a controller of the kind in which the field strength of an electric motor can be automatically increased upon an abnormal increase in load, by an electro - magnetic switch controlled by the armature current, a second electro - magnetic switch is actuated by the former switch to shortcircuit a resistance in series with the shunt field; and the second switch closes a retaining- circuit for its operating-winding. The circuit of the motor A contains an accelerating-device 8 and a main switch 1, and includes the operating- coil of a switch 4. The field F of the motor contains a regulating - switch 3, shown in its off position. This switch comprises an "off" contact 14, contacts 15 connected to the regulating-resistances and to the motor field, a contact 17 connected through the operating-coil 1<a> of the main switch 1 to the positive main lead 20, and a contact 18 connected through the operating-coil 5<a> of a switch 5 and the switch 4 to the positive armature lead. The arm 10 of the regulating-switch is connected to the negative main lead 21. To start the motor, the switch arm 10 is moved into contact with the segment 17, and establishes the operating-circuit of the switch 1, which closes, thus simultaneously supplying current to the armature A and to the field F. The resistance 7 of the accelerating- switch is gradually cut out by current supplied through the lead 31 to the operating-coil 8<a>. After the motor has started, the speed is adjusted to suit the load by further movement of the regulating-switch arm 10 across the contacts 15. Should the load increase abnormally while the motor is running, the resulting increase of armature current closes the switch 4, sending current from the positive armature lead through switch 4, operating-coil 5<a>, lead 34, segment 18, and arm 10 to the negative main lead. The switch 5 closes a short-circuit 35, 36 around the field-regulating resistance 16, thus strengthening the field F, slowing the motor, and reducing the load. To prevent the opening of the switch 4 from causing an endless repetition of a cycle of operations while the overload lasts, an auxiliary switch member 5<b>, attached to the switch 5, closes a shunt circuit about the switch 4, so maintaining the switch 5 in a closed position independently of the switch 4. The motor can only be speeded-up again by moving the switch arm 10 out of contact with the segment 18, breaking the operating-circuit of the switch 5, and subsequently moving it forward again over the contacts 15.

Title: The Manufacture and Production of Monoazo Colouring Matters.
Filed: 1910-07-29
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 18,099. Anilinfarben- and Extract- Fabriken vorm. J. R. Geigy. Oct. 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Monoazo dyes are obtained by combining the diazo compound of p-nitraniline-o-sulphonic acid with salicylic acid or o- or m-cresotinic acid. In the case of salicylic or o-cresotinic acid the combination is effected under such conditions that the action of alkalies upon the diazo compound is obviated; this is done by adding the theoretical amount of soda or ammonia in drops to a cold mixture of the two components, or by carrying out the process in presence of oxides or hydroxides of magnesium, zinc, or alkaline earths. The combination with m-cresotinic acid is carried out under ordinary conditions.

Abstract: 19,030. Arsem, W. C. Aug. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Filaments of a carbide of a refractory metal such as vanadium are made by heating threads containing carbon and a compound of the metal, and subsequently removing any excess of carbon or metal. Another carbide may be added which may increase the resistance, like silicon carbide. For instance, a mixture of vanadium pentoxide or sulphide with graphite and a carbonaceous binder may be squirted and baked, then fired in a vacuum furnace, and finally sintered by passage of current in hydrogen or its equivalent or by a vacuum or other furnace. The binder may be a wax such as gilsonite mixed with a little vaseline, or coal-tar pitch, or petroleum pitch, optionally with an addition of oils, resins, or gums.

Abstract: 21,067. Capou, L. L. Sept, 9. Screw propellers. - The screw propeller of an aerial vessel or ship driven by an internalcombustion engine is mounted and driven in such a manner that a predetermined s p e e d with corresponding carburation and ignition having been obtained bv setting a hand-wheel, the speed is maintained automatically. The thrust of the screw is taken by the automatic controller. The blades 7 are capable of feathering in a box 8, the boss 9 of which slides on a sleeve 3 fixed to the driving-shaft 1. Cranks 6, Fig. 3, fixed to the blades are connected by rods 5 to shoulders 4 fixed to the shaft. The boss 9 engages a fork 11 pivoted to the engine casing at 12. The stem 14 of the fork engages the automatic controller 16, which consists of a telescopic casing enclosing an elastic element. The casing bears against a rod 18 moving through a fixed guide 20. The rod is fitted with cams 21, 24 controlling through rods 22, 25, the ignition and the carburettor respectively. Adjustment of the hand-wheel 30 is made according to the required effort of the motor. The controller 16 takes the longitudinal thrust, and, if this varies owing to alteration of speed, the box 8 and rods 5 are moved and the blades 7 feathered. In the modification for sea ships, Fig. 2, the controller 16 is compressed at both ends by abutments 15 to provide for reversal of the propeller for forward and backward movement.
