Inventor: ROBINSON EDWARD
Filed: 1904-12-29
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 28,683. Robinson, E. Dec. 29. Moistening.-Fig. I shows an arrangement for heating, humidifying, or cooling air for warming, drying, or humidifying purposes in mills, factories, and similar places, a part of the apparatus being shown separately in Fig. II. A cylinder A, containing heating or cooling tubes connected to end chambers, is provided with a helical baffle b, so that air, drawn or forced through the cylinder by a fan B, follows a helical path between the tubes. The air may be humidified by the injection of a jet of steam into the heater ; but, preferably, the air is moistened in its passage through the annular space between two cylinders e, f, Fig. II. The outer surface of the inner cylinder which is heated by steam is covered with felt or other material capable of absorbing water supplied from the upper part of the cylinder. In order to cool the air, it may pass through moistened sheeting, bunting, or the like supported by a perforated cage h surrounding the closed upper end of the inner cylinder. The air may be cooled also by passing through the cylinder A, Fig. I, while a cooling- medium, such as chilled brine, air, or a gas supplied by a refrigerating-system, passes through the pipes.

Title: Improvements in Current Collectors for Dynamo Electric Machines.
Inventor: HILDBURGH WALTER LEO
Filed: 1905-11-09
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 22,971. Hildburgh, W. L. Nov. 9. Brushes and brush-holders; collecting-rings.- Relates to collecting-devices for dynamo-electric machines, especially machines of the unipolar type, in which disk armatures are used, and consists in enclosing the ring a, Fig. 2, in a stationary or rotating trough c with a conducting-liquid d between them. The ring a, which is shown fixed to the armature disk b, and is made removable either as a whole or in sections, is so formed that the liquid d tends to seek its outermost circumference when the ring is rotating, the centrifugal action of the ring being increased by roughening its sides. To facilitate the dissipation of heat and at the same time to strengthen the trough, the latter is formed with ribs e. The surface of the trough is roughened or lined to retard the rotation of the liquid d, and the exterior of the trough may be coated with lamp-black or otherwise given a high radiating power. The sides of the trough are brought close to the base of the ring to prevent as much as possible the circulation of air in the trough, and in some cases the trough may be filled with an inert gas. The trough is preferably made in sections, which may be directly connected to conducting- bars l, or the sections of the trough may be connected to bars f, Fig. 3, supported in holders g, which are connected by flexible conductors i to the collecting-bars h, the sections in this case being supported by rigid insulated holders engaging with blocks fixed to the sections. The trough as a whole is preferably mounted upon springs &c., so that it may take up a position in which the depth of the liquid d is the same in all parts of the trough. The conducting liquid d is preferably a metallic alloy, which - may be - solid at ordinary temperatures, or an amalgam may be used. The liquid is introduced into the trough when the machine is running, and run out through tubes near the lowest part of the trough when the machine slows down. Liquid accidentally escaping falls on a curved screen for the cooling air currents, and is returned to the receptacle. The liquid d may be isolated from the air by means of an additional ring and trough o, p, Fig. 5, and liquid q, or by covering the liquid d, Fig. 6, with a lighter liquid r, the contact of the ring with the liquid d being effected by suitably shaping the ring as shown.

Filed: 1906-02-15
Granted: 1907-02-15
Abstract: 3795. Auer, H. Feb. 15. Lift valves; actuating valves. - Relates to hydraulic or pneumatic lifting-apparatus in which the pressure in the cylinder is relieved by lengthening the stroke of the pump piston, and consists in mechanism for opening the escape valve gradually by a tilting action. Fig. 3 shows a section through the pump cylinder and valve-chest. The piston 1 during the out-stroke draws the fluid through the pipe 6 and suction valve 4 into the cylinder, and during the in-strolre forces the fluid through the valve 8 to the press cylinder. When it is required to diminish the volume or pressure of fluid in the press cylinder, the piston is pushed in beyond the ordinary limit of its stroke, and a projection 12 tilts the suction valve 4 and thereby opens the delivery valve 8. In modifications, a stud on the suction valve 4 projects into the cylinder 2 and a projection on the valve 8 extends through an opening in the valve 4.

Abstract: 5196. Heer, O. March 3. Rolling.-In a tube-rolling mill in which the rolls are reciprocated during rolling, cushioning means are provided which reciprocate with the rolls. The roll-housings b run on guide-rails z and are connected to a yoke e by spring cushions g, the yoke being reciprocated by links o and levers n driven from the roll-driving mechanism. Compressed-air or other fluidpressure cylinders p are connected by rods q to the housings, and ratchet gearing s<1>, s<2>, &c. is driven from one of the levers n to feed the mandrel c forward, which takes place while the inoperative portions of the rolls are moved back. The difference in the constant velocity of the rolls in rolling over the material and the variable velocity of reciprocation due to the levers n is taken up by the springs, and the shock is thus minimized.

Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 17,321. Waygood & Co., R., and Walker, H. C. Aug. 1. Lifts. - In electric lifts actuated by alternating current and controlled by continuous current, the use of alternating-current magnets is entirely dispensed with and the rotary transformer for generating the control current only runs so long as either one of the buttons is being pressed in order to start the lift, or until the lift mechanism has fulfilled its function. The motor 1 is driven from the alternating- current mains A through circuits 2 and is arranged to drive the direct-current generator 4. The circuit 3 of the generator 4 contains the usual controlling-devices of a push-button system, namely, door switches w, cage pushes d, e, f, landing pushes a, b, c, floor solenoids l, m, n, limit switches r, and up and down solenoids o, p. A relay q is also provided for cutting off current from the landing pushes at the contacts q<1>, q<2> when a cage push has been operated, which condition is maintained by a second winding z. Additional contacts a', b<1>, c<1> on the landing pushes and a contact g, mechanically connected with the cage pushes, are provided to complete the circuits both of the motor 1 and generator 4 when any push is operated. A relay h maintains the circuit 2 of the motor 1 by contacts s, t until the circuit 3 of the generator 4 is interrupted. This relay comprises coils j, k, one k of which is of high resistance and is afterwards short-circuited through contacts u, v. This reduces the resistance of the controller circuit and prevents the other relays from operating until the plunger h rises, i.e. until the motor 1 attains its running condition.
