Title: Improvements in Dynamo-electric Machines.
Inventor: BATCHELDER ASA FRED
Filed: 1904-11-12
Granted: 1905-11-11
Abstract: 24,573. Batchelder, A. F. Nov. 12, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Electric locomotives and motor vehicles.-In a motor truck for electrically - p r o - pelled vehicles, armatures are mounted directly upon the wheel axles B, and the field magnets are arranged so as to produce a magnetic flux common to all the armatures. The main frame A, Figs. 1 and 2, comprises side bars 1, 2, connected together by end members 3, 4, 5, 6 and cross-bars 11, 12, 13 which support the field magnets 14. When all the field coils are simultaneously and equally excited, the magnetic fluxes in the bars 11, 12, 13 will neutralize each other, and the path of the resultant field will be through the whole of the armatures and the end and side bars of the frame. If one of the motors requires a stronger field than the rest, the additional flux is confined to the adjacent cross-bars. Members 19, 20 of magnetic material extend between the end bars 3, 4, the member 19 being unsymmetrically disposed to balance the weight of the pole-pieces. The frame A is mounted upon the axles B by means of two pairs of springs 21 on each side connected at their inner ends by equalizing-levers 22 and with their outer extremities secured to the frame, the two end springs 21<1> being joined by an equalizing-lever 25. The springs 21 rest in saddles 24 supported on journal boxes 26, Fig. 4, each of which may comprise a brass 27 placed on the upper side of the axle B, a chamber 28 for receiving waste and labricating-oil, an oil cup 29 with feed-opening 30, and a tapped lug 33 for the connection of a third-rail contact-shoe, if one is required. The brushholders 34 are either fixed to or are integral with the saddles 24, and, in order to allow relative motion in a vertical direction between the armatures and field magnets, a portion or the whole of the polar faces of the latter is made substantially parallel to the direction of movement. The journal boxes 26 slide within jaws 36, and are held in place by bars 37, Fig. 1, bolted to the frame A. To dismount one of the armatures, the locomotive is run over a pit, the bars 37 are unbolted, and the axle, wheels, and armature lowered. The truck is provided with fenders 39, steps 40, and draw-bars 9, 10 situated within the frames 7,8.

Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 24,957. Steel, Peech, & Tozer, and Allott, M. H. Nov. 17. Rolling.-Apparatus for manipulating billets in a rolling-mill consists of a carriage A<2>, operated by a hydraulic ram D, and running on rails C located under the floor line A of the mill. The carriage carries a vertical ram G, to which is attached a bed H working between standards A<4>. The bed H carries a headstock J and a ram I for operating a rack L to rotate the headstock through gearing O, M. A gap-wheel P, with different gaps to suit various sizes of billets, is carried by the headstock, and can be lowered to receive a billet, can turn the latter over, and can carry it to any desired pass of the rolls. A duplicate apparatus is usually used on the other side of the rolls. Screw or other equivalent gearing may be used instead of the hydraulic rams.

Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 11,299. Mills, G. P., and Jopson, W. G. May 30. Stamping; drawing.-A safety-guard for powerdriven stamping and drawing presses or like tools comprises a hinged plate A, which is normally horizontal, but which, before operation of the ram, is turned up to remove the operator's hands. The guard-plate A, having a clearance A<1>, is hinged to the press plate D or in bearings C attached to the plate D. It may be turned up prior to the descent of the ram by being connected to a suitable cam on the main driving- shaft. The alternative means shown in Fig. 2 is operated by depression of the starting-lever H, and consists of a pivoted bell-crank lever F, one end of which is connected by an adjustable rod G to the lever H, while the other. end has a roller &c. F<3>, which moves an arm J on the pivot shaft B to raise the guard-plate as required. A spring L or a counterweight causes the plate to fall when released. The starting- lever may be hand-operated, being secured to the shaft B, the latter, or the plate A, then being connected to the starting-clutch. Where necessary, to prevent the plate A from descending before the end of the downward stroke of the' ram, a wheel M with a tooth M<1> is fixed on the shaft B and holds the raised plate A by a spring-pressed detent N, which is released on completion of the downward stroke by means of a rod P, adjustably set in a carrier P<1> attached to and moving with the ram E. Instead of the bell-crank lever F &c., a toothed pinion on the shaft gearing with a segment connected to the link G may serve to actuate the guard.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Valves for Pumps and Blast Apparatus.
Inventor: KIESSELBACH CLEMENS
Filed: 1905-10-14
Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 20,870. Kiesselbach, C. Oct. 14. C h e c k valves; shocks, preventing. -In spring-loaded check valves for pumps or blast apparatus, the spring is so constructed that it can support the weight of the valve body and thereby prevent frictional pressure between the valve and guide. The bearing of the spring may be arranged obliquely, Fig. 2, or the surface of the contact between the spring and the casing may be suitably inclined, as shown in Fig. 3, or the spring may be made with eccentric coils, Fig. 4. These methods may be varied, but in each case the spring, when free, is inclined to the horizontal. When the device is assembled, the weight of the valve is taken by the spring for the purpose stated. A further improvement is shown in Fig. 8, in which f is a spring constructed as above, o the valve, and p a spring plate, forming a bearing for the spring f, provided with a shoulder v. If the valve o is raised from its seat, the spring f is compressed and the pressure is communicated to the plate p, the outer edges of which move away from the valve. The valve thereby makes quiet contact with the shoulder v and the necessity of a cushioning- medium is obviated. It is stated that with this device the spring f may be made weaker than usual and the action of the valve rendered steadier thereby. Spring arms may be substituted for the spring plate p and the details varied.

Abstract: 24,737. Faller, O. Nov. 29. Heating liquids.-In apparatus for boiling impure liquids, or such as deposit mud or other solid substance on boiling, such apparatus being particularly applicable to the treatment of cellulose preparations, the heating is effected in a part A, which consists of inclined tubes surrounded by a casing through which the heating medium passes. The casing is prolonged to project into an upper receptacle B, to prevent the choking of the tubes by reason of the sudden cooling of the liquid on emergence. The solid particles are carried off by the circulation of the liquid, and pass through a downcomer C which connects the upper chamber B with a lower vessel D, which serves as a settling- chamber. A connexion E makes communication between the lower chamber D and the heater A. A modification having two heating-chambers A, one on each side of the downcomer C, is also described.
