Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 19,613. Hampke, O. F. Aug. 26. Electric speed indicators with means for controlling motors and with signalling-apparatus; particular-speed alarms. - A dynamo a, driven from one of the rotating parts of a motor-car &c. supplies current to electromagnets f, q, which, when the current attains a certain magnitude, operate levers to close circuits containing an electric bell &c. c and to break the ignition circuit n of the motor. A premonitory warning may be given to the driver by a flap k, Fig. 4, which is allowed to fall when the lever l is operated by the magnet m. To indicate to persons outside the car whether the device is in action, the lever t, Fig. 3, of a switch in the main circuit carries a signal disk s and an electric lamp y, which are visible above the frame of the vehicle when the circuit is closed, but are turned down and hidden from view when the circuit is broken. An electric lamp z may also be included in the circuit of the bell c. To adjust the apparatus for different speed limits, resistances may be provided in the circuit; or the distances between the magnets and the levers operated by them may be varied.

Abstract: 24,820. Lake, W. E., [Submarine Signal Co.]. Oct. 28. Subaqueous sound signals. - A vibrating transmitter for submarine signalling consists of a disk carrying an armature, in front of which are moved a number of magnetic fields formed between the teeth of two wheels which are rotating together. In modifications, a number of armatures may be moved past an electromagnet attached to the disk; and the arrangement may be used to actuate a bell. When used on a ship or submarine vessel, the vibrator may be part of the ship's side, or may be immersed in a tank connected directly to the sea. The vibrator may also be immersed at a pier head. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, two wheelshaped pole-pieces G, H are provided with teeth g, h, and are attached to the core E of the coil F. As the wheels G, H rotate on the arms D, the fields between the teeth g, h actuate the vibrator B through the armature B'.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Supplying Hot and Cold Water.
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 1909-12-17
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 29,598. Jennings, Ltd., G., and Morley, J. Dec. 17. Combinations of interdependent valves. - In order to supply hot or cold water from one tap and to employ the steam or hot water used for warming a railway carriage &c. for heating the cold water supply, as desired, a pair of valves are combined in such a way that when a rocking-handle is turned in one direction, the cold water valve only is opened, whilst on turning the handle in the opposite direction, both valves are opened, thus supplying steam or hot water to a casing or heater through which the cold water flows. Steam or hot water is admitted to the casing c, Fig. 1, through a valve e, whereas cold water passes through the spiral b to the valve h and thus to the tap. When the handle is pulled forwards, only the cam j<2> and valve h are operated; on pushing the handle j backwards, both cams j<2> and j<3> are brought into operation, and consequently both the valves h, e are opened.

Abstract: 26,774. Hodgkinson, T. G., [Hodgkinson, W.]. Nov. 17. Locating sounds. - A number of receiving microphones are p r ovided with horn-shaped sound - collectors pointing in different directions in the air, and are placed in circuit to operate indicators. The microphone element consists of a metal strip A<2> mounted on the ring H', and another strip A<1> mounted on the glass diaphragm A. The contact is adjusted by the differential screw H<7>. Each microphone is arranged in a system of connexions with a differential relay which brings a magnet into circuit when the microphone is actuated. The relay releases a stop from a frictionallydriven wheel which forms the indicator. In another form of apparatus, the microphones are mounted so as to be rotated together until the line between them is perpendicular to the direction from which the sound comes. The microphones are, in this system, placed in opposite arms of a bridge system. The Provisional Specification also describes an indicating-system in which the diaphragms carry mirrors from which a ring of light is reflected, a disturbance in the ring thus showing the position of a diaphragm which is receiving sound-waves.
