Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Controlling the Supply of Electrical Energy from Alternating Current Electric Generators to Alternating Current Electric Motors.
Inventor: MCLEOD ROBERT STAFFORD
Filed: 1905-10-31
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 22,231. McLeod, R. S. Oct. 31. Dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling.-Relates to a method of equalizing the load on an alternating-current generator supplying current to induction motors subject to a variable load, such as winding- apparatus and the like, and consists in using an alternating-current machine, the outer element of which is connected to the mains and adapted to be rotated by external means, the rotor being connected to or forming a heavy fly-wheel in which, by variation of the speed of the outer element, energy is stored when the main motor is stationary or running on lightload, and from which energy is supplied when the load increases. The outer element US, Fig. 1, of the auxiliary induction motor 0 may be rotated by mechanical or electric means, but preferably by means of a small induction motor E supplied with current from the mains B and connected to the outer element CS through gearing such as spurwheels g, h. In place of the gearing g, h, the outer element CS may form the rotor of the motor E, or in some cases may be driven by the main motor A. The rotor resistances CO, EO and the starting- switch F of the motor E are so connected to the controlling-switches AO, AO of the main motor A as to be operated in proper sequence either by hand or automatically. In place of the induction motor C, a synchronous motor S, Fig. 2, may be used, the rotating field Sr of which is excited by the auxiliary generator K. Themotor S may be started by rotating the outer element SS by means of the motor E in the opposite direction to that in which the field produced by the threephase currents is rotating, and then gradually bringing the element SS to rest, or the starting may be effected by rotating the field Sr by the motor E through gearing m, l, the spurwheels g, h being thrown out of gear while starting. Other methods of starting consist in using an auxiliary induction motor P, and in providing the field Sr with amortisseurs, the element SS being allowed to run freely and afterwards brought to rest by means of a brake.

Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 13,092. Bartz, H., Loewi, M., and Schwedler, C. June 6. Baskets.-In a machine for making wickerwork baskets, the uprights 33, Figs. 2 and 3, are secured to a table 54 rigidly fixed to the screwed spindle 53, which can slide along, but cannot rotate on, the spindle 52 driven by the belt pulley 46. As the spindle 52 rotates, the spindle 53, which screws into the sleeve 44 secured to the fixed frame 43, is gradually lowered to compensate for the increasing height of the basket. The frame 1, which carries the cork-faced plaiting-fingers 3, is mounted on a bracket 36, Figs. 1 and 2, so arranged that the frame 1 may rotate round the frame 37, which turns with the table 54. The frame 1 is driven by the chain 42, which passes over guide-pulleys 41 and engages with the wheel 25 on the frame 1 and with the wheel 40 driven by a belt running round the sleeve 48. The plaiting-fingers 3 are reciprocated horizontally by the rack 19, Fig. 1, engaging with the toothed wheel 20 driven from the toothed segment 14 by means of the connecting-rod 21. The fingers 3 are closed, against the action of the spring 4, by means of a vertically-sliding plate 7 operated by the lever 5 acted on the cam 28. As the fingers 3 move to the right and left under the control of the spring-pressed plate 16, the spindle 2, upon which they are mounted, is swung through an angle by the connecting-rod 10 to cause the crossrods 66 of the basket to clear the uprights 33. The work is steadied by supports 32, 35, Fig. 1, which lie respectively outside and inside the basket. After each stroke of the fingers 3, the pin 63 on the wheel 25 knocks the pivoted catch 60 clear of the pin 62 against which it rests and allows the chain 42 to carry the frame 1 round the frame 37 through a distance equal to the distance between two uprights. Two movable sets of retaining.pins such as 62 may be arranged one above the other, the pins in the lower set being vertically out of line with those in the upper set. Different patterns may be plaited by bringing first one set of pins and then the other into operation during the manufacture of the basket.

Title: Process for Producing Compounds of Aluminium and Nitrogen.
Inventor: SERPEK OTTOKAR
Filed: 1906-06-13
Granted: 1907-02-07
Abstract: 13,579. Serpek, O. June 13. Aluminium carbide and nitride; ammonia.- Aluminium nitride is produced by heating powdered aluminium carbide to a red heat while nitrogen or air is passed over it. The absorption of nitrogen is assisted by the addition to the carbide of carbon, aluminium oxide or chloride, or metals such as copper, iron, aluminium, or alloys thereof, or mixtures of these substances ; it is also assisted by the addition of gaseous hydrochloric or sulphurous acid to the nitrogen before it is passed over the carbide. The process may also be carried out by passing nitrogen over a heated mixture of alumina and carbon, with or without addition of copper or a copper-aluminium alloy ; in this case the carbide is first formed and then converted into nitride. The masses are preferably compressed and heated electrically. The aluminium nitride thus obtained yields ammonia when heated with water.
