Patent GB-190826674-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means of Charging Several Batteries in Parallel, and also for Regulating the Voltage on Electric Feeders.
Inventor: STEVENS WILLIAM ARTHUR
Filed: 1908-12-09
Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 26,674. Stevens, W. A. Dec. 9. Distributing; switches.-Each of a number of machines, capable of running either as a dynamo or as a motor, is placed in the feeder of a distributing-system or in series with a battery to be charged. The machines are mounted upon, or mechanically connected to, a shaft which carries a regenerative machine, arranged as a balancer upon a three-wire system or as a shuntwound machine upon a two-wire system, while the voltage of the supply is arranged so that no external source of energy is necessary to drive the machines. In the three-wire system shown in Fig. 1, the armatures B-B<7> of machines capable of running as dynamos or motors are mounted upon, or mechanically connected to, the shaft of the armatures A, A' of a balancer. Each of the armatures B-B<7> is connected in series with batteries G, G<1> ; G<2>, G<3>, &c., respectively, between the outers and the middle wire H of the.system. The field windings b-b<7> are regulated and reversed by means of potentiometer switches C-C<7>. To avoid the use of any external source of power, the voltage of the supply circuit is arranged so that some of the armatures B-B<7> run as motors, while others run as dynamos assisting in the charging of the batteries connected in series with them. When thearrangement is used upon a three-wire distributing-system, the machines in the long feeders are arranged to run as dynamos, and are driven by those in the short feeders, which run as motors. In a two-wire system, the armatures B-B<7> are mechanically connected to the armature of a shunt-wound constantvoltage machine capable of driving the armatures as dynamos, or of running as a dynamo when driven. The current in each of the fields of the machines is reversed and varied by means of a potentiometer resistance switch,as shown in Fig. 2. The field winding k is connected to contacts 1, m adapted to be connected to the contactj by means of a contact o mounted upon an arm n. The other end of the arm n carries a contact p moving over studs connected to a resistance and over the contact m or l. When the arm n is in an horizontal position, the current in the field winding k is zero. As the arm moves towards the vertical in either direction, the current in the field winding increases, while its direction depends upon the direction of rotation of the arm n.

Title: Improved Method of Producing Fibres from Flax, Hemp and similar Plants.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
IPC: D01B1/40
Filed: 1909-04-06
Granted: 1910-04-06
Abstract: 8329. Lake, H. W., [Garcia, E. E.]. April 6. Processes.-The unretted stalks of flax, hemp, and similar plants, which have been freed from leaves and seeds and dried, are cut into short lengths and treated in a disintegrating-machine. which may comprise a toothed drum rotating in a hood. The bark by this means is disintegrated, the gum and resin falling away in the form of powder. The product is then fed into a cleansing machine such as a Crighton machine, and finally into a suitable carding or combing machine which arranges the fibres parallel ready for spinning or roving. The stalks may be worked up uncut into an oakum-like product, which is cut up to acquire the appearance of raw cotton, and then separated from its impurities in the cleansing-machines. The fibres, which have become very short in the process, are drawn away by a blower and used for making paper pulp.

Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 13,499. Robinson, H. April 16. Peeling vegetables.-The driving-gear of vegetable-paring and like machines is so arranged that motors of different sizes can be used, and different speeds can be obtained without dismounting the main parts. In the paring-machine shown, a container 1 is fitted with an abrading-disk 4 mounted on a rotatable bottom 3 secured to a spider-wheel 35 keyed to the driving-shaft 39. The shaft 39 is rotated from the motor 44 by means of bevelwheels 45, 46, a sleeve 47, a pinion 48, and a gear-wheel 43. The bevel-wheel 46 is adjustably fixed to the sleeve 47 so that motors of different heights can be accommodated, and the pinion 48 is readily detachable so that it can be replaced and different speed-ratios obtained. The sleeve 47 rotates on a pin 49, which can be adjusted in a radial slot 50 in the bottom of the pan 22 to the correct distance from the shaft 39. The motor 44 is supported by a plate 63 bolted to lugs 64, and by means of a pin-and-slot connexion, or bolts and a series of bolt-holes, is adjustable in a direction parallel to its shaft. The plate 63, and with it the motor, may be adjusted by the provision of a series of holes for the bolts connecting it to the lugs 64. Above the sleeve 47 is a collar provided with a cup 58 holding lubricant used by the sleeve.

Abstract: 14,038. Boulton, J. June 15. Whips and hunting - crops. - The handles of whips and hunting-crops are secured to the stocks by means of metallic ferrules so that detachment of the two is prevented. The ferrule B, internally and externally screwthreaded, is screwed to the stock A and rigidly secured as by a pin D. The handle C is screwed to the ferrule, and the two are rigidly secured by a screw E with a toothed top E<2>, which serves as a " stop-gate " attachment. To prevent the screw E from coming loose, it may be riveted over, or a cotter may be used. In place of the screw E, a pin may be formed integrally with the ferrule so as to pass through the hole C' on the handle, after which the end may be riveted down or cottered, or a lock-nut with teeth may be fitted to it. A split ferrule may be used, the locking-connexion being brought about by expanding the ferrule.

Abstract: 12,440. Rockwell, A. F. May 21. Cementation. - A carbon-carrying fluid is heated to a temperature at least as great as that of the articles to be carburized before being brought into contact with them. In the apparatus shown, a fire-chamber 2 heated by burners 3 surrounds a heating-chamber 4 in which is a flask 7 containing the articles to be carburized Carbon-carrying liquid, such as hydrocarbon oil, is introduced by a pipe 12, and the resulting vapours enter the flask by inlets 8 and carburize the articles. To expel air, and thus prevent oxidization, a small quantity of the oil may be introduced before the carburizing-temperature has been attained. The gas passes from the flask 7 by a pipe 9, and may be led to the firechamber to assist in heating it. A heatmeasuring instrument 14, such as a pyrometer, may be inserted in the pipe 9 to indicate the temperature of the articles in the flask. To produce uniform carburization throughout an article, the supply of fluid by the pipe 12 is shut off when the article has absorbed the total quantity of carbon desired, the heating being continued to equalize the distribution.
