Title: Improvements in Electrical Apparatus for Calibrating Measuring Instruments for Alternating Currents.
Filed: 1906-06-27
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 14,684. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. June 27. Current and energy meters, calibrating. The current for calibrating alternating-current instruments is obtained from a transformer with a subdivided secondary, switches for fine and coarse adjustment being connected to the divisions of the secondary, and an additional fine adjustment being provided by an adjustable resistance. In the arrangement shown, an auto-transformer is connected between the constant-potential mains A, B, and connexions are taken from the winding to the contacts of a switch F, the last section being subdivided by connexions to a switch E. This subdivided section of the winding is disconnected from the rest, and a resistance K is connected in parallel with the last subdivision, the connexion to the rest of the winding being made by a sliding contact. When very large or very small currents are required, the circuit containing the instrument H to be calibrated and the standard instrument J is connected to the subdivided transformer through a transformer L, so arranged that its windings may be interchanged, and it may thus be used for large or small currents. A transformer with two windings may be used instead of the auto-transformer and a resistance may be put in series with the instruments.

Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 15,886. Haddan, H. J., [Ratignier, M., and Pervilhac & Co., H.]. July 10. :Liquids, apparatus for treating with.-Relates to apparatus for distributing the size over the surface of such fabrics as bobbin-net &c. The fabric, on leaving the sizing-rollers, passes through a stretching-machine, where it is engaged by two parallel chains c, Fig. 2, furnished with grippers and supported by frames g relatively adjustable by known means. The size-spreaders may be brushes or smooth rubbers b, Figs. 1 and 2, but chains of polished material or like flexible devices trailing on the fabric are preferred. In the apparatus shown, the brushes b are carried by belts a travelling parallel with the fabric but at a greater speed. Provision is made for adjusting the chains c in accordance with irregularities in the width of the web. The belts a are carried by pulleys mounted on shafts d connected together by bars f, the shafts being pivotally connected to crank-disks h driven by shafts j. The belts a are driven from one of the disks h by bevel-gearing i. The horizontal frame d, d, f, f is thus given a circular movement, which when combined with the motion of the brushes causes an even spreading of the size. In modifications, the straps a may receive a simple reciprocating movement in the direction of the width of the fabric from a pendulum p, Fig. 4, oscillating about an horizontal axle x suspended from the ceiling. A roller n traversing a guide o ensures that the brush traverses the natural fold of the fabric. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement of rods r actuated by crank-disks h, the rods carrying frames u which support the spreading-chains v.
