Title: Improvements in Electric Meters of the Induction Type.
IPC: G01R11/36
Filed: 1909-08-21
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 19,277. Compagnie pour la Fabrication des Compteurs et MatÚriel d'Usines Ó Gaz. Sept. 8, 1908, [Convention date]. Induction motor meters; brakes; resistances.-A meter is regulated for leading or lagging currents by means of an adjustable resistance, consisting of a screw K formed in two sections of metals, such as constantan and copper, of different conductivities. The screw completes the circuit of a copper loop k upon the central limb of the driving- magnets. Between the loop k and the pressure coil M, a number of open iron rings N are mounted. The current coils O<1>, O<2> are wound on the divided ends of the central limb and the adjacent side limbs, as shown. The strength of the driving- field is adjusted by varying the vertical position of an iron piece P below the driving and braking disk G. The piece P may be moved sideways by a screw E to adjust the meter for light loads. Screws p<1>, p<2>, p<3> serve to clamp the piece P when adjusted. The brake magnet C is attached at one end to a lug a<3> on the meter frame, and at the other end to a non-magnetic frame H fitted to the front of the meter frame. Attached to the frame H is an iron piece I carrying iron screws j', j', and forming an adjustable magnetic shunt to the brake magnet C

Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 27,540. Bouchet, M. Nov. 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Portable vulcanizers. -A portable vulcanizer consists of a hollow block heated internally by a lamp, provided with means for automatically turning-down the lamp when the des i r e d temperature is attained. A block c, with its lower face arched, is hollowed out to form a combustion chamber a<1> with air inlet el and outlet a<2>. Into the chamber a<1> projects the burner of a lamp c, insulated from the body by asbestos packing c<1>. The inlet e<1> may be closed by a screen e having small holes e<2>, Fig. 4, and carried by arms f turning frictionally on milled studs g<1> on the ends of a shaft g carrying vanes h partly immersed in alloy in a chamber h<1>. In operation, the block is clamped to the tyre, the screen e is drawn back, and the lamp is inserted and lighted. When the required temperature is reached, the alloy melts, the shaft g with its studs g<1> is released, and the screen e closes the inlet e' under the action of a spring r. The air supply is thus diminished, and the lamp burns low, giving sufficient heat to keep the temperature constant. The lamp is of such capacity that it burns out at the end of the operation. Other means may be employed for releasing the screen, such as a bar which, on expansion, releases a catch, or a pressure-gauge for the same purpose. If tyres are to be repaired when off the wheel, they are clamped on a curved base-plate to retain their original curvature.

Bleaching, processes and materials for.--In bleaching " back greys " which have been used behind fabrics during printing thereof, particularly in those cases where vat colouring matters have been used, suitable aralkyl compounds are introduced into the usual treating- liquors of milk of lime, caustic soda, and sodium carbonate, preferably with the addition of suitable reducing-agents. Other suitable compounds such as anthraquinone and sodium anthraquinone monosulphonate, which assist the action, are also advantageously added to the bleaching- liquors; cane sugar is also mentioned in the Provisional Specification. Examples of suitable aralkyl compounds are monobenzyl-p-sulphochloride, dimethylphenylbenzylammonium hydroxide, chloride, or the monocalcium or disodium disulphonate, and suitable homologues and analogues. Suitable reducing-agents are sodium hydrosulphite, hydrosulphite-formaldehyde, or sulphoxylate-formaldehyde, glucose, maltose, dextrine, and in some instances sodium sulphide.

Abstract: 28,620. Schneider, E. Dec. 19. Sights and methods of sighting.-Consists in an apparatus for determining the total lateral correction necessary for inclined trunnions and drift. In the construction shown in transverse section in Fig. 1, and in plan in Fig. 2, the apparatus comprises a gravity member, such as a ball c, which is free to move on a concave surface a in a box e which is permanently or detachably mounted upon an arm h, on the guncradle g, or other part that moves with the gun in elevation. The surface a has lines b, b<1>, b<2> ..., the graduations at the end of which line give the deflexion correction required, when the ball comes to rest in any position, such as c', on any of the lines. A modified form of apparatus comprises a vertical plate with graduated lines thereon, which plate is applied, transversely to the gun's axis, to a part of the barrel or carriage. A cursor, pivoted to the side of the plate, carries a spirit level and is graduated with a range scale. When the trunnions are inclined, the cursor is moved until the bubble of the level (' the gravity member ') is central. The correction necessary is then given by the line on the plate which is cut by the appropriate range-graduation on the cursor.

In one form of apparatus, the exhaust from a turbine driving a pump h, which supplies water to the ejector e, is passed through pipes n, m to the steam jet b. The excess steam passes through a springloaded valve d, pipe g, and nozzle l to the feed-heating compartment f of the water - tank p. The feed - heater may be fitted with a float which regulates the supply of excess steam, and, if desired, the discharge of the heated water or the passage of the water back into the condenser or into other cooling- means; a thermostatic control of the excess steam supply may also be adopted. The feedheater may be of the construction described in Specification 11,690/10, or may be a surfaceapparatus. The feed-heater may be separate from the water-tank p, and be fed with water from the pump h through a valve controlled by a float in the tank p.

Filed: 1911-07-24
Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 10,648. Kylliainen, J. July 24. Reversing; starting.- Reversal is effected bv altering the time of ignition, and, at times, the valve gear, the switch ka, and the cams oa being adjustable axially into four positions by means of a ' bushing ' wr having four grooves 1, 2, 3, 4 and cross grooves a, b, c. The bushing may be fixed on the igniter shaft and engage a projection t on the engine framing, or be fixed to the engine framing and engaged by a projection resiliently mounted on the igniter shaft. The grooves may be inside or outside the bushing. The switch has four contacts k01, k02, k03, k04, one in each track corresponding to the grooves 1, 2, 3, 4, and aranged as shown in the development of the bushing and switch, Fig. 3. For forward running, the projection t lies in the groove 1, and the contact k01 engages the brush h to give an ignition at the end of the compression stroke of a two-stroke engine. To reverse, the bushing is moved axially to bring the projection t into the groove 2 and the contact k02 into action, ignition then being at the beginning of the compression; the engine slows down and then reverses, whereupon the bushing is pushed right over to bring the contact k04 into action. For forward running, the contact k03 is first brought into action, and finally the contact k01. Prior to reversing, the engine may be slowed down by temporarily moving the brush h angularly to give a late ignition, the brush-holder s, Fig. 6, being adjustable for this purpose. Fig. 6 shows gear for a four-cylinder four-stroke engine, in which the valve cams are adjusted axially simultaneously with the ignitionswitch. Spring-pressed pivoted plates at the cross-over points may be used to direct the projection t from one groove to another.
