Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 14,785. Railing, A. H., and Garrard, C. C. June 25. Plug couplings combined with electric switches. A combined electric switch and connecting-plug, of the kind in which the plug cannot he inserted into or withdrawn from live' contacts, comprises sockets b and a shaped guide-hole f in the switch casing, a swinging arm e with a bent end e<1> carried by the rotary spindle d of the switch, and a plug member with a notched guide-pin h which'is so shaped that it can only be inserted into the guide-hole in one direction, the bent end of the arm e preventing the insertion of the guide-pin if the switch has been previously closed, or locking with the notches j on the guide-pin to prevent withdrawal of the plug. The switch shown is of the kind described in Specification 26,009/10, [Class 38(v), Electric switches &c.]. The casing of the plug is preferably made in halves, and is provided with clips l which engage the boss of the guide-hole f and connect the plug casing to the earthed switch casing a when the plug is inserted. The plug casing is also provided with an earthing-connexion n to receive an earthing- wire connected to the frame or case of the current-consuming device, and with clamping-pieces i of wood or the like for relieving the cables of strain. The switch case may be made long enough to receive fuses, in which case the arm e may be mounted on a separate spindle linked to the rotary spindle d of the switch,

Abstract: 20,730. Evans, S. K. Sept. 11. Speed indicators with means for controlling motors; transmission mechanism.-In apparatus for motor vehicles, accessible only through a cover provided with a lock and key and in which the index hand of a speed indicator at a predetermined speed meets a contact adjustable along the speed scale, so as to interrupt the motor ignition or operating circuit, the adjustable contact is itself locked by a key in any position. A key is also provided for locking disengageable driving-gear for the speed indicator against disengagement. The adjustable contact 13, Figs. 1 and 2, is mounted in a closed segmental case 19 bolted to the top of the speed indicator 11, and projects through a slot in the path of the index 12. The contact is mounted on an insulating box 25, which slides, by means of a dovetail joint, on a segmental guide 26. The contact 13 is maintained in electrical contact with the lead 31 of the controlling circuit by a spring 28 engaging an insulated segmental strip 29 connected to the lead 31. The segmental case 19 is hinged at 33 and is locked by means of a lock and key 34, 35. The back of the contact 13 is provided with teeth 36, shown in Fig. 3, which are engaged and locked by the teeth on a segmental rack attached to the hinged cover, and the disengageable driving gears 46, 47, Fig. 5 and 6, are locked against disengagement by two hinged members 39, 40 held together by a key-operated lock and having openings which embrace the respective shafts. Fig. 8 shows the ignition circuits for a motor 10 in which the circuit of the magneto 17 is broken by an electro-magnet 14<1> controlled by an independent circuit 15 through the speed indicator 11. The speed indicator may be arranged so as to shortcircuit the magneto.

[Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Boosting; equalizing load on generators; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-The movable contact arm of a regulator, of the vibrating type, is controlled by two solenoids, one of which controls the position of the fulcrum about which the arm rotates under the action of the other. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the contact arm 23 is supported by two springs 26, 28 and connected to the cores 24, 25 of two solenoids 27, 29. The solenoid 29 controls the position of the fulcrum of the arm 23, while the solenoid 27 energized from an auxiliary generator 15 causes a contact 20 on the arm 23 to engage periodically a resiliently mounted contact 19. The contacts 19, 20 control the energization of a relay 18, which periodically short-circuits a resistance 8 in the field circuit of an exciter 6 and a resistance 13 in the field circuit of the generator 15. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the load on a generator 35 is equalized by means of a battery 38 and a reversible booster 39 controlled by a regulator having a current winding 51 and a periodically energized winding 56. The contacts 49, 50 of the regulator control the energization of a relay 48, which periodically closes the circuit of the winding 56 and short-circuits a resistance 44 in the field circuit of an exciter 42 supplying the field winding 41 of a reversible booster 39 having an additional opposing field winding 40.

Abstract: 10709. Wade, H., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. May 6. [Cognate Application, 20,802/13.] [Addition to 9983/08.] Pulling-over.-Relates to tip-measuring apparatus for indicating the position of the tip seam in relation to the last, as described in the parent Specification. The invention is illustrated as applied to a pulling-over machine of the type described in Specification 12,304/03. The device is carried by parallel links 6, which are pivoted at 8 to the rearwardly-projecting end portions of a bracket 10 fastened at 12 to the machine frame. The links are normally held up by springs 14 against a stop, as shown in dotted lines on Fig. 2. The lower ends of the links are connected by a bar 16 extended on one side to form a handle 7 and fitted with a toe-abutment plate 20. A measuring- plate 25, extending at right-angles to the abutment plate and adjustable by a screw 24, is mounted on the front face of the bar 16 at one side of the abutment plate. The measuring-plate, which is graduated, carries a sickle-shaped plate 26, the end of which is in a position where it may engage the rear edge of the tip seam. In operation, the measuring-device is pulled down by the handle 7, the plate 26 first bearing against the shoe and causing the bar 16 to turn slightly in its'mounting against the pull of a spring 30 until the toe-abutment plate engages the shoe. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the measuring-device is carried by links 6, which can slide longitudinally along pivots 8, and which also carry rolls 27 engaging in slots 13 in cam plates 9 adjustably mounted on the bracket 10. When the tip measurer is pulled down, the cams compel it to follow a path by which the toe of the shoe is cleared.

Abstract: 13,607. Boberg, T., Soderland, O., Testrup, N., and Techno-Chemical Laboratories, Ltd. June 12. Vapours, utilizing for effecting further evaporation.-Relates to the system of evaporating liquids in which the vapour generated in the evaporator is compressed and is used as heating- medium, for example as described in Specifications 12,462/11 and 22,670/11. (1) Radiation and other losses are compensated by means of make-up steam derived from another evaporator. In concentrating brine or sugar, for example, the first stage of the evaporation is effected in evaporators heated by compressed steam, and the second stage or the crystallization is effected in another evaporator from which the make-up steam is derived. The second evaporator may be of the climbing-film type, and may be heated by the exhaust gases from an internal-combustion engine driving the steam compressors, or by steam generated by the exhaust gases, or otherwise. (2) In order to ensure that only dry steam may pass to the compressors, the steam is withdrawn from the base of the evaporator ; and spray-arrestors, louvered constructions or a cyclone separator, or combinations of these are used to dry the steam. (3) To prevent the entry of non-condensable gases the compressors, glands, and other joints are sealed by means of the make-up or other steam. (4) To supply power for circulating the liquid and compressing the steam, a Humphrey or other internal-combustion pump, fitted with a heavy floating plunger, or a differential plunger, or otherwise, is employed.
