Title: Improvements in Starting Devices for Electric Motors
Filed: 1904-04-27
Granted: 1905-03-02
Abstract: 9660. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. April 27. Motors, controlling.-Relates to a starting-device for electric motors, comprising a resistance R of magnetite, having a negative temperature coefficient, and an electromagnetically - controlled switch adapted to short-circuit the resistance R when the potential drop in the resistance falls to a predetermined value. On lowering the handle H, which is connected by a link L with the switch member S, a circuit is first completed through the auxiliary contacts C, C', member S, resistance R, and motor M. The armature D', which is pivoted at d and carries two flexible contacts E, E<1>, is held down by its magnet D, which is in shunt to the resistance R. Further movement of the handle H causes the member S to engage the spring contact E and the fixed contact S<1>. As the resistance R decreases, owing to the rise in its temperature, less current flows through the magnet D, and, when this reaches a predetermined value, the tension of the spring E overcomes the combined pull of the magnet D and the spring e, bringing the contact E<1> into engagement with the contacts F, and thereby short-circuiting the resistance R. The no-load release magnet B releases its armature B<1> when the supply current fails, thus allowing the handle H to rise under the tension of the spring b and open the switch S.

Abstract: 1903. Bartelt, C. A. H. Jan. 31. Smoke-consuming; dampers; air, supplying; fire - bars ; fire-bridges; liquidfuel fittings. -To effect combustion of smoke in steamgenerator furnaces, the combustion products are subjected to the action of jets or tongues of flame in the presence of fresh supplies of air or oxygen in the spaces between two or more fire-bridges, which are supported upon a perforated bridge-plate 2, Fig. 1, at the back of the fire-grate. The flame jets are produced by the flames from the fire passing through openings in the front bridge, and also by liquid fuel. Air or oxygen is supplied beneath the grate, through a transversely-sliding damper 19, into chambers 9, 10, which communicate by means of a perforated partition 13 and are situated beneath the bridge-plate 2. The air or oxygen passes up through perforations 11 in the bridge-plate, and comes in contact with flames which pass through the holes 7, 8 in the fire-bridges 3, 5, and also with the smoke. The damper 19 is arranged to slide between upper and lower guides, and is actuated by a toothed segment 21., which is mounted upon a protected rotatable shaft 22 and engages with a rack formed on the bottom of the damper. Liquid fuel is supplied through passages 38 in the two extreme fire-bars 37, Figs. 3 and 7, of the grate to a horseshoe-shaped passage 57 in the bridge-plate, and through pipes 59, 60, 61 removably secured by nuts to the bridgeplate 2, as shown in Fig. 6, and in communication with the passage 57. The pipes 59, 60, 61 are surrounded by the brickwork of the bridges, and have their upper portions bent forward and provided with perforations. The bridge 3 is similarly strengthened by a horseshoe-shaped bar 64. The fire-bars 37 are formed at their back ends with projections 41 which engage with lugs 40 upon the bridge-plate, and the butt ends are provided with a packing-ring 42. The front ends of the bars communicate with a passage 46 in a fitting 45 provided with a valve 48 for regulating the supply of liquid fuel. A modified arrangement of smokeconsuming apparatus is shown in Fig. 9. The firebridge 5 reaches to the crown of the furnace, and is formed with downwardly-inclined passages 66.

Abstract: 3497. Imray, O., [Dye Works]. Feb. 20 Dyes, artificial.-Blue to yellowish-green dyestuffs, which dye chrom-mordanted fibres, are prepared by condensing gallocyanines and other oxazines or their derivatives with formaldehyde in any appropriate medium. The dyes so produced may be heated with water to 100-200‹ C. in the presence or absence of acids, to form other blue to green dye-stuffs. The dyes produced by either of the processes described above may be further treated with reducing-agents, which may be acid, neutral, or alkaline, to form other green to blue dye-stuffs. Suitable reducing-agents are tin, zinc, and aluminium hydrosulphites, and their compounds with aldehydes, alkali sulphides, hydrosulphnric acid, titanium chloride, glucose, or the like. The dyes are applicable for printing and dyeing. By interrupting the condensation before its completion, mixtures of the new dyes with the original oxazines may be obtained. In examples, gallocyanines, such as those obtained from nitrosodiethyl- or dimethyl-aniline and gallamic acid, are condensed with various proportions of formaldehyde, either by boiling with water or by heating with hydrochloric, oxalic, or other acids or with organic or inorganic salts, or by treatment in the cold with sulphuric acid. The condensation and other processes mentioned may be combined.

Title: Improvements in Liquid Raising Apparatus Operated by Steam or Compressed Air.
Inventor: SCHWANINGER VITUS
Filed: 1905-06-05
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 11,784. Sahwaninger, V. June 5. Direct air or steam pressure apparatus. - The usual air-exhaust valve of compressed-air liquidraising apparatus is replaced by a water seal, by which means loss of pressure medium at the beginning of the pressure period is completely prevented. One form of the invention is shown in Fig. 1. The pressure vessel 1 is adapted to be placed in communication with the liquid-inlet pipe 4 by means of the valve 3, and with the pressure-medium pipe 6 by the valve 5 controlled by floats within the chamber. The discharge pipe 8 passes into a conduit 2, into which is also sealed siphon tube 12, 13, as shown, the top of the latter being carried to a higher level than the bottom of 'the former. When the liquid is being forced from the chamber 1 by the air or other pressure medium, the pressure is transmitted to the air in the space 7 and the liquid in the arm 12 is thus able to overcome any slight excess of pressure which may exist in 'the chamber 1 and so prevent escape of pressure medium to the pipe 8. On the other hand, when the pressure medium is completed and the chamber 1 commences to refill, there is little or no pressure in the chamber 7, and the air imprisoned in the upper part of the chamber 1 is thus able to force its way through the tubes 13, 12 and to escape through the pipe 8. Fig. 2 shows an alternative form of siphon tube.
