Title: Improvements in Insulators for High Tension Electricity Conductors.
IPC: H01B17/12
Filed: 1910-01-14
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 1009. Clouth, F. Sept. 29, 1909, [Convention date]. Insulators, particularly for wireless telegraphy and similar work, are made with a core 1 formed in one or more parts of insulating-material such as wood-fibre, gut, &c., or of conducting-material such as bronze or steel. This core is surrounded by insulating-material 2 such as vulcanite, and to the ends, devices 4, 5 to take mechanical strains are attached. The centre part of the insulation 2 is surrounded by a jacket 3 of some material such as amber, glass, porcelain, &c. not affected by atmospheric influences, and the length of which is greater than its circumference. As shown in Fig. 3, for heavy loads the core 1 is formed with eyes containing intermediate pieces 4, 5, and the insulating-composition 2 is, as before, protected with a jacket 3. The insulator may be cruciform in cross-section, as indicated in Fig. 4.

Title: Improvements in Motor Starting Switches.
Inventor: POOLEY FREDERIC
IPC: H02P1/02
Filed: 1910-02-08
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 3068. Pooley, F. Feb. 8. Controllers, actuating and retarding mechanism for; controllers with underload release.-In a motor-starting resistance switch having a starting hand-lever 1 and a separate contact lever 2, which are mounted loosely on the spindle 3 and are arranged to be coupled together electro - magnetically by means of an electro-magnet 6 on the one and an armature 9 on the other, both levers are under separate spring action, the starting-lever spring being stronger than the contact-lever spring. The springs are coiled round the spindle 3, and are each fastened at one end to a stationary part of the switch and at the other end to the lever. The lever 1 is first moved by hand over or adjacent to the lever 2, and the two levers thus coupled together are moved in a clockwise direction under the action of the starting-lever spring to cut resistances out of the motor circuit. The movement of the levers towards the " on " position is retarded by means of escapement mechanism, a fly or fan, or a centrifugallyoperated brake. As shown, a ratchet-wheel 13 connected with the lever 2 engages pawls 14 carried by a spur-wheel 15 geared to a fly or fan 16. The electro-magnet 6 may act as a " no-volt " release, one end of the winding being connected with a brush rubbing upon a sector contact 8, and the other end being joined to the supply. A special " no-volt " release magnet 12 may be used. The contacts 10 are made of diminishing area, as shown, and the resistances may be made of wire coiled within exhausted glass tubes.

Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 8219. Leitner, H. July 31, 1909. Exciting.-Reversible variable-speed dynamos of the type described in Specification 17,847/09, are provided with broad brushes a, b preferably placed on the centre line or axis of the field flux or given a slight lead in either direction, and the magnet system is arranged so that the pole pieces embrace a larger angle than usual or inter pole projections are used.

Title: Improvements in Locking Devices for Railway Semaphore Signals.
IPC: B61L21/04
Filed: 1910-04-25
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 10,087. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. June 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Visual outdoor signals; slots, reversers, and like apparatus.-A motor-operated bar C communicates its motion to a semaphore through levers D, K and F. If a coupling-magnet F<5> is not excited, movement of the lever D raises the lever K but does not move the lever F Fig. 3 shows the position of the parts after such an ineffectual movement. To prevent the movement of the signal by the application of force to the signal-arm when the gear is in the position shown, a latch H is provided. It is pivoted to the lever F, and one arm carries the pivot of the lever K. Its movement is limited by stops F<1>, F<2> and it is pressed outwards towards a fixed plate L. When the coupling- magnet is excited and force is applied to the lever D by the motor, its pivot is raised first so far as the stop F<1> permits, and afterwards the levers K and F are moved together about the pivot E. The upward movement of the lever K removes the lock H. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the motor is connected to a lever R, and the semaphore lever T is operated by a lever S linked to the lever R. When the coupling-magnet is excited, the levers R and S move together, the catch lever U is rotated on its pivot in opposition to a spring T', so withdrawing the lock, and then the lever T is operated.
