Title: A Power-transmission System for Driving a Dynamo whose Electrical Energy is subsequently Utilized for the Electric Propulsion of Motor Vehicles, Boats, Air-ships, or the like.
Inventor: MARINO PASCAL
IPC: B60K1/00
Filed: 1912-06-12
Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 13,780. Marino, P. June 12. Propelling.-A power transmission system, for driving a dynamo y to charge the accumulators that energize the electric motors for driveing motor vehicles and water and air craft comprises a hot-air engine v and speedmultiplying gear between the shaft of the hotair engine and the main driving-shaft P of the vehicle or vessel; this gear is carried, as shown, on two shafts d, j parallel to the shaft P. The connexion between the shaft j and the hot-air engine is by a belt t running on either fast or loose pulleys, so that, when the main driving- shaft P is running, the belt is on the fast pulley and the power supplied to the generator y is equal to that transmitted by the gearing plus that of the hot-air engine, but, when the shaft P is still, the belt runs on the idle pulley and the hot-air engine alone drives the generator y.

Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 15,642. Keller, B. July 4,1911, [Convention date]. Moulding - machines. - In a jarring moulding- machine, the table is given horizontal or oblique jarring in addition to the usual vertical jarring. This may be effected by a vibrator, or by connecting the table a to a fixed point h by a link f so that, as it is reciprocated vertically by the piston b, it also rotates as in Fig. 4. If the table is mounted on a cross slide e on a non-rotating piston b, Fig. 3<A>, the vertical reciprocation is accompanied by h rizontal or oblique motion. Buffers, such as i, j, k, m, i<1>, j', may be arranged to accentuate the additional jarring, while the vertical jarring is produced by striking a buffer ring d. In a modification, the link f has a cam slot p engaged by a pin g on the table, and is operated as the table rises by a link r to produce a series of helical oscillations.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Circular Knitting Machines.
Inventor: SPIERS WILLIAM
IPC: D04B9/10
Filed: 1912-10-24
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 24,290. Spiers, W. Oct. 24. Circular machines.-Machines of the superposedcylinder type described in Specification 15,008/00, and furnished with inside sinkers as described in Specification 23,560/95 are modified by arranging the needle cylinder to rotate instead of the cam-cylinder as usual. Additional cams 16, 17, provided in the cam boxes 11, 13 co - operate respectively with the usual transfer cams 19, 18 and allow of a shorter transferring movement, and consequently shorter cylinders than heretofore. The cams 17, 18 in the upper and lower cam boxes are coupled together by links, and similarly the cams 16, 19, so that when the cams 18, 19 are thrust in by the pattern gear, the cams 17, 16 are brought into operative position as shown in full lines. During plain knitting, the sliders are passed into an idle track 34 by a cam 33. A swing latch guard operating during transference from the top to the bottom cylinder is mounted on the upper cam box 13, and is brought into action simultaneously with the cam 19. The sinker cam is free to move between adjustable stops to provide the necessary lead during reciprocation, the thread being fed through a hole instead of the usual slot. The dividing-cam 53, Fig. 10, for disengaging the sliders from the needles during transferring is movable on pivots 54 away from the needle cylinder during reciprocation to be clear of the latches. When in action, the cam 53 is thrust in by a lever 56 acted on by the pattern gear, and when out of action is held away by a spring 55. The change gear is of the oscillating-sector type, brought into action by a sliding clutch under the control of the pattern gear. At the commencement of reciprocating knitting, the clutch 63 is moved to the right and rotates a bell-crank 92 connected thereto, which, by means of connexions 89, 87, 88, 86, and 85, releases a spring take-up lever 83. On the resumption of rotary knitting, the lever 89 is released by the bell-crank 92 and is positively raised by a cam 84 moving with the clutch 63, the take-up being put out of action, as shown in full lines.

Abstract: 2509. Western Electric Co., [Western Electric. Co.]. Jan. 30. Automatic exchange systems.-In systems in which lines are multipled to a group of powerdriven automatic switches, some of the switches are driven from one source of power and some from another, thus lessening the probability of a breakdown due to derangement of the power drive, and enabling a portion only of the switches to be used during slack times. In the arrangement shown, the switches are arranged in vertical bays, driving-shafts 29, 30, 31 being located between each bay, alternate shafts being driven from horizontal shafts 48, 49. In each bay the alternate selectors are driven from the same vertical shaft, and selectors in the same levels in adjacent bays are driven from the same shaft through the same gear.

Title: Improvements in Electricity Meters.
Inventor: ELSTER JOHANNES
IPC: G01R11/30
Filed: 1913-02-10
Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 3466. Elster, J. Feb. 10. Coils and conductors; commutators; windings. -A motor for use in an electric meter has armature coils of different resistance to produce variations of potential across the brushes sufficient to actuate an electro-magnet driving a counting-train. As shown in Fig. 2, the armature is wound with two pairs of coils s<1>, s<2> and s<3>, s<4>, the coils having the same number of ampere-turns, but of different width, and connected across the main in series with a resistance V. The winding of the electromagnet M is connected across the brushes b<1>, b<2> and may be in series with a resistance. The armature coils may all be made the same size, the wires being of different thickness or material. In a third arrangement shown in Fig. 4, a resistance W is connected between a commutator segment and the junction between two coils, and in order that the magnet may be energized only once in each revolution, the segment is divided into two parts d<1>, d<2> so that the resistance W is only in circuit when the brush b<2> bears on the part d<2>. A modification of this arrangement is shown in Fig. 6 applied to a four-pole armature with three coils. In this case a six-segment commutator is used, the segments being connected in pairs. In order to compensate for the reduction in torque due to the insertion of the resistance W, an auxiliary winding a<h> is connected in series with the resistance, and may be proportioned so that the torque produced when the brush b<1> is on the segment h<1> is slightly less than in the other positions, so that the armature will stop in this position when the load is off.
