Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Motor Starters.
Filed: 1907-05-08
Granted: 1908-05-08
Abstract: 10,719. Mayes, A. H., and Ferranti, Ltd. May 8. Switches.-A motor starter, of the type having a clutch magnet connecting the rheostat arm to an independent operating-arm, has mechinical devices for locking the arms during the travel from the 'off' position as far as the first live contact, the clutch magnet being energized by this contact. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a handle 1 sliding in a groove e has a projection g on its armature f. The projection is caught by a spring catch c on the rheostat arm when the handle is moved over to the 'off' position. The rheostat arm can then be moved by the handle as far as the first live contact h, whereupon the shunt field and magnet b are energized, the catch is tripped by a metal rim k, and the arm and handle are locked together by the magnetic engagement only. The sliding handle may be replaced by an arm pivoted concentrically with the rheostat arm. As shown in Fig. 2, the magnet is mounted on the operating-arm m, and the mechanical latching-device consists of a catch c pivoted to the arm m and pressed upwards by a spring d. The arm m and the rheostat arm a are eccentrically pivoted, and in moving the arm m off, the catch c rides over and becomes locked beneath a projection g on the arm a. The catch enables the arm a to be moved on to the first contact so that the clutch magnet is energized. The catch is in this position, by reason of the eccentric pivoting of the two arms, out of engagement with the projection g, and further movement is effected by the magnetic engagement only. The rheostat arm in each case has the usual hold-on device tripped by an overload coil, which can also short-circuit the coil b. To prevent sliding of the armature on the magnet cheeks, the armature is pivoted to a link q which is pivoted to the rheostat arm.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Carriage Feeding Mechanism for Lathes.
Inventor: POTTER JAMES CHARLES
Filed: 1907-08-27
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 19,267. Potter, J. C. Aug. 27. Lathes.-Carriages, particularly turret slides, have an increased range of traverse imparted by mechanism independent of the cam drum in order that the size and diameter of the latter may be kept down to the actual minimum required for feed during the cutting of the tools, and yet allow the slide to be withdrawn sufficiently far to allow the turret to revolve freely even when boring - bars are used which have an end supported in a bush in the spindle during cutting. The slide D, Fig. 2, is adjustably connected at H to a bar G carrying a cam bowl g, and provided with a slot W, Fig. 4, which engages a roller v on an arm of a rock-shaft U which controls a clutch S to drive a wheel L in either direction by reversing bevels M or to allow it to remain free. While the cam drum F is traversing the slide, the roller v is in the straight part W of the slot and the clutch S is inoperative ; but when the roller is in either of the laterally displaced portions W<1>, W<2>, the wheel L is driven in one direction or the other and reciprocates the slide through a pinion K and rack teeth cut on the bar G. The shaft carrying the clutch S is geared through a shaft P to a shaft carrying a belt pulley. A swinging latch w is arranged so that the roller v, on leaving the part W of the slot, enters the part W<1>, and at the other end of this part a spring plunger x acting against a surface on the machine frame throws the clutch over and the slide returns with the roller in the part W<2>. The usual turretrotating mechanism is operated during the time that the rack and pinion traverse is in operation. The auxiliary mechanism may be thrown out of action by a clutch 10 when operation by the cam drum alone is required.

Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Steel.
Inventor: MASSENEZ OTTO
Filed: 1907-12-12
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 27,489. Massenez, O. Dec. 12. Basic, Bessemer, and open-hearth processes; blastfurnace charges. - In the manufacture of steel from pig-iron containing more than 1 per cent each of silicon and phosphorus, the metal is first blown in a basic-lined converter with additions of lime and oxides of manganese or iron, as described in Specification No. 19,053, A.D. 1904, to form a siliceous slag. This slag is poured off at the first appearance of the carbon flame, and the blow is continued with sufficient addition of lime to reduce the phosphorus contents to 0À5 per cent or less. The highly phosphoric slag so obtained is poured off, and the dephosphorization of the metal is completed, after recarburization in a basic open-hearth. The recarburization may be effected by adding coke or anthracite to the charge during the pouring from the converter, or by adding pig to the openhearth before the charge from the converter is introduced ; or it may be effected in an intermediate receptacle large enough to receive the charges from several converters. The slag obtained during the open-hearth treatment may be utilized as a blastfurnace charge, to recover the iron and phosphorus contained therein.
