Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 28,293. Tangyes, Ltd., and Robson, J. Dec. 3. Lever-actuated pumps ; stroke, varying.-Relates to governing-mechanism for internal-combustion engines of the kind in which a second lever, interposed between an operating-lever and the plunger of the fuel-pump, is adjusted by the governor so as to vary the stroke given to the plunger, as described in connexion with admission-valve gear in Specification 13,584/06, [Class 7, Air and gas engines]. The invention consists in connecting the end 4 of the second lever 3 to the governor by means of an eccentric 6, or, in a modification, by means of a screw and nut, or right and left handed screws and nuts. The lever 3 is pivoted at 4 to the eccentric strap 5; and the end 4 is raised or lowered when the eccentric 6 is rotated by the governor, thus varying the stroke given to the plunger 1. Specification 12,192/03, [Class 7, Air and gas engines], is also referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Intercommunication Telephone Systems.
IPC: H04M9/00
Filed: 1910-01-21
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 1631. Sterling Telephone and Electric Co., and Bell, F. G. Jan. 21. Intercommunication systems of the type in which the speaking connexions between two stations comprise two complete circuits, each including the transmitter of one station and the receiver of the other, are provided with one or more visual or audible indicators, so that a calling station may be informed (1) whether the station called is engaged, and (2) when the called subscriber replies. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the transmitter 12 is arranged in parallel with one or other of the two indicators 14, 15, according to the position of the ringing-key 7. The receiver 3 and battery 4 are connected to the " home " lines 1, 2 at each station, the switch 5 being part of a hand combination set. When the plug 10 is inserted in the jack of the station wanted, the transmitter 12 and " engaged" indicator 15 are bridged across the lines, and if that subscriber is using his receiver, current flows from the battery 4 of that station through the switch 5, receiver 3, line-wire, tip 13 of calling-plug, microphone 12 and indicator 15 in parallel. sleeve 10, and line-wire back to the battery. The calling-station is thus notified that the station wanted is engaged. If, however, the station is idle, the indicator 15 is not energized, and the caller rings by depressing the key 7, thus completing the circuit of the battery 4 of the called station through his bell 6 and a common return 27. When the key 7 is released, contact 18 is broken, but the key is retained by a catch on a lever 17 so as to bring the "reply" indicator 14 into circuit in place of the "engaged" indicator. When the called subscriber replies and closes his switch 5, the indicator 14 is energized, whereupon the calling subscriber gives his number, and the called subscriber completes the connexion by inserting his plug in the jack of the calling-station. The catch 17 is released when the receiver is hung up. The actuation of the " reply " indicator may cut it out of the microphone circuit. Three modifications are described in detail, in which (1) a single indicator serves to give both the " engaged" and "reply" signals ; (2) separate indicators are used, and the circuit of the "reply" indicator is maintained after the release of the ringing-key by a self-locking relay in the ringing-circuit, instead of by the mechanical device shown in Fig. 1 ; (3) a visual indicator is used to give the " reply " signal, and the call-bell is arranged to give an audible " engaged" signal, a relay being provided to cut it out when conversation is proceeding.

Title: Improvements in Electromagnetically-controlled Electric Switches.
IPC: H01H73/42
Filed: 1910-03-24
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 7465. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. March 24. Automatic circuitbreakers. - In switches of the kind that are closed by means of a lever conditionally upon the previous energizing of an electro - magnet, this object is effected by providing that the magnet fixes a pivoted point for the lever distinct from its pivot upon the switch-arm. The switch is opened by the failure of the magnet under abnormal conditions. In a switch applied to an electric motor controller, the lever 38, of the shape shown in Fig. 8, is pivoted on the switch-arm 24 at a point 36. The switch carries two spring- mounted contacts 30, 33 adapted to meet a carbon contact 31 and a metal contact 34. The magnet 45, by attracting an armature 49, which is slotted to take a pin 41 at one end of the lever 38, fixes this pin as the fulcrum. Rotation of the controller shaft 4 to one of the running positions by means of the cam 42 presses up the roller-end 39, thus closing the switch against the spring 26. After the switch has opened automatically by failure of the magnet, it assumes the position shown in Fig. 4. Before the switch can be reclosed, the controller shaft must be brought back to the ' off ' position, Fig. 6, in order to allow the magnet to attract its armature. The switch is mounted within the controller casing along with a drum controlling the armature resistance of the motors, and a plate rheostat controlling the field resistance.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Control Systems for Electric Motors.
IPC: H02P3/12
Filed: 1910-07-18
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 17,107. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. July 18. Systems for continuous-current motors only; master control systems; electric braking. - Resistances 3, 3<a>, 3<b> are cut in and out of the circuit of a motor a, both during acceleration and braking, under the control of a throttle relav 7. A mechanical band brake 17 is applied at the end of the electric braking by the de - energizing of a solenoid 21, the circuit of which is broken by a switch 22 when the reduction of speed of the motor sufficiently weakens a solenoid 24 placed across its terminals. At starting, the controller segments are moved to the right, current passing from the positive main through a lead 30, the connected contacts 28, 28<d>, through a coil 23 and leads 43, 42 to the negative main. The switch 22 is thus pulled up and completes the circuit of the brake-releasing solenoid 21, leaving the motor free to start. Simultaneously, a coil 9 is energized, which pulls up its contacts 8 and connects the motor to the line. The resistance is then cut out step by step by the coils 2, 2<a>, 2<b> under the control of the throttle. When it is required to brake the motor, the contact segments are moved to the left. This de-energizes the pull-up solenoid 23, and leaves the switch 22 held on only by the coil 24 Simultaneously, a coil 13 is energized from the contact 28<a>. This causes a contactor 12 to lift and connect the motor in a local circuit including the resistances. The circuit of each coil 9. 13 passes through interlock switches 15, 11. respectively, the cross connexion ensuring that the driving and braking switches cannot be closed together. The switches 8, 12, and also the resistance switches 1, 1<a>, 1<b>, have extensions 14, 10, 4, 4<a>, 4<b> to connect their actuating-coils permanently across the mains after the contactors have been pulled up. The circuits of the coils 9, 13 are threaded through interlock switches 5, 5<a>, 5<b> on the resistance contactors. These circuits can therefore only be completed when the contactors are all opened and all resistance is in circuit. The actuating-circuit of each coil 2, 2<a>, 2<b> is threaded through relay contacts 6, 6<a>, 6<b> on a throttle relay 7, which lifts up and breaks succeeding actuating-circuits if the current-surge after cutting-out the preceding step of resistance is excessive.

Lasting.-Machines for lasting and pulling-over uppers, in which each gripper is associated with devices for inserting a group of tacks, are arranged so that the driver for each tack in a group is independently actuated, the timing being such that the tacks in a group are driven at different times. The invention is described as applied to a lasting-machine of the type described in Specification 10,562/10. The drivers A<2>, A<3> are secured in separate driver-bars A, A', which are connected by spherical-ended links K, K<1> to spring- controlled actuating-arms pivoted to the head of the machine ; the strengths of the springs are separately adjustable by means of pawls and ratchets.
