Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 12,761. Hackett, A. May 26. Reversing-valves.-A conical reversing-valve E, divided into an inlet chamber F and an outlet chamber G by a longitudinal partition H, is combined with a conical distributing - valve J, divided into chambers by a transverse partition M, and caused to oscillate by an eccentric-rod. The ports in the seating of the valve E leading from the inlet and exhaust pipes C, D are flared so that the ports 3, 15 always register therewith. The chamber F communicates with one of the chambers of the distributing-valve, and the chamber G with the other, when the valve E is moved by the lever N to open the port 3 to the port 4 and the port 15 to the port 14, and vice versa, when the valve is moved in the opposite direction. The movement of the lever is limited by stops 43. The distributing-valve J is provided with two long ports on the side of the valve E and four small ports which register with corresponding ports, in the seating, leading to the cylinder. Accurate bearing of the valves on their seats is obtained by the pressure of springs in the valve covers and an adjustable pin bearing 37 at the small end of the valves.

Patent GB-191118991-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Talking Machines.
Inventor: DENNISON WILBURN NORRIS
Filed: 1911-08-24
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 18,991. Dennison, W. N. Sept. 8, 1910, [Convention date]. Stopping.-A gramophone brake carried by four pivoted toggle levers is applied against the turntable flange either manually or automatically by a spring controlled by a rocking shaft operated by the tone-arm. The brake 30 is carried by four levers 31, 35, 45, and 48 connected by pintles 36, 37, a pin 47 in a slot 46, and pivoted at 32 to a plate 15 screwed at 16 to the cabinet top 3. A fifth lever 38 mounted on the pintle 37 and surrounded by a coil spring 42 normally in compression has one end passing through a hole 39 in a vertical flange 40 of the base plate 15, and prevented from coming out by a pin 41. A handle 52 integral with the lever 48 permits the brake 30 to be applied against the downturned flange 5 of the turntable by straightening out the toggle levers 35, 38, as shown in Fig. 9, two stops 95 limiting the motion of the lever 48. To apply the brake 30 automatically, a depending rod 80 on the tone-arm 10 at the end of a record engages the arm 89 of a bifurcated lever 88 secured by friction washers 91, 92, 94 to a sleeve 86 on a vertical pivot 81 fixed by a nut 82 to the cabinet top 3, and, by a connected arm 99, turns a rocking shaft 20 by means of a pin 28 secured through a disk 27 to the shaft 20. The rocking shaft 20 is carried in bearings 22, 17, the latter being a vertical flange of the base 15. Mounted detachably but securely on the rocking shaft 20 by a disk 71 and pin 72 is a catch-plate 70 normally forced upwards by a spring 77 and having a slot 75 with a vertical recess 76 and a projection 73 with sloping sides 74. This catch-plate 70 is mounted adjacent to a vertical flange 60 of the base - plate 15 having two parallel slots, through the upper of which passes an extension 55 of the toggle lever 48 adapted to engage the projection 73 on the catch-plate 70, and through the lower of which and also through the slot 75 of the catch-plate 70 passes the end 56 of another lever 50 also pivoted at 32 loosely connected with the lever 48 by the pin 47 and slot 46. A spring 65, normally in tension, tends to straighten the toggle levers 35, 38 and apply the brake 30 to the turntable flange 5 when the movement of the tone-arm 10 rocks the shaft 20 and depresses the catch-plate 70, thus freeing the end 56 of the lever 50 from the recess 76 in the catch-plate 70, and permitting the spring 65 to pull the lever 55 over the sloping projection 73 and apply the brake. During the application of the brake 30 and the straightening of the toggle levers 35, 38, the spring 42 has become more compressed and hence continues gradually to apply the brake 30, this being permitted by the loose pivot 46, 47 between the levers 48, 50. The automatically applied brake, Fig. 2, may also be applied manually by the lever 52. The bifurcated lever 88 may have vertically-disposed arms 89, 90, and may be secured by friction washers to the rocking shaft 20.

Abstract: 27,560. Taylor, A. M. Dec. S. [Cognate Applications, 11,560/12 and 12,509/12.] Protective arrangements.-Relates to protective systems of the kind described in Specification 27,312/10 and consists in different arrangements of connexions for the potential transformers feeding the wattmeter or like relays and in reactances automatically thrown in circuit to augment the potential drop due to faults. As shown in Fig. 3, each primary coil of the potential transformer has three secondary coils, and the secondary coils are combined in three sets responsive respectively to faults on the different phases. The set shown in Fig. 3 adapted to respond to a fault on the main X is composed of the coils G and H connected so as to give a resultant 90 degrees out of phase with the coil J, and a coil Q excited therefrom by a step-up transformer and inserted impedance, so as to make an exact balance. The same arrangement is repeated round the phases. The three circuits so formed may be connected to separate wattmeter relays on to a relay common to all three. In a modified arrangement, the coils G, H are connected so that their resultant can be directly balanced against the coil J. In further modifications, the same principles are applied to potential transformers with primary coils connected in star. A time lag is preferably introduced between the rise of current in the potential transformer coils due to a fault, and its application to the wattmeter relay, by means of a retarded relay T.L.R, Fig. 7. To obtain the automatic reaction for augmenting potential drop, the impedance coils are provided with normally short-circuited secondaries, and the short-circuits are broken in the event of a fault, preferably, as shown at the lower part of Fig. 7, by an automatic circuit breaker tripped by out-of-balance current from three small transformers, or alternatively, as shown in the upper part of Fig. 7, by blowing fuses on two of the phases, and tripping a circuit-breaker on another phase. Similar devices are employed to break short-circuits round resistance coils.
