Title: Improvements in Magneto-electric Generators.
Filed: 1907-03-04
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 5155. Albion Motor Car Co., and Murray, T., B. March 4. Gas and like engines, igniting in. In a magnetoelectric or like generator for igniting. in multicylinder motors, of modified Pacinotti ring type having stationary armature and windings and a rotating field, narrow air-gaps are made. in the armature-ring between adjacent windings. Semicircular magnets A are carried by a spider B on a rotating shaft C, while the armature consists of sector-shaped laminations D on a fixed non-magnetic spider E, the pieces D carrying windings G, each connected to the opposite winding either in parallel or in series and being separated by air-gaps H. The armature coils being short-circuted, and the circuit being broken when their currants are greatest, use is made of the currents self-induced owing to the collapse of the magnetic field, which is helped by the air-gaps. Instead of semicircular magnets, straight bar magnets, as described in Specification No. 14,732, A.D. 1902, or electro-magnets, may be used.

Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 10,369. Ateliers Thomson-Houston (Anciens Etablissements Postel-Vinay). May 10, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Field magnets ; sparking, preventing.-To improve the commutation of dynamo-electric machines having a drum-wound multiple - circuit armature, the supplementary poles are excited by electromotive forces which are functions of the currents flowing in the conductors influenced by the supplementary poles, instead of a function of the total electromotive force. Each supplementary pole p is provided with two coils respectively in series with the two lines of brushes corresponding to the conductors upon which the pole acts, and two consecutive supplementary poles are provided with two coils in series with the same line of brushes. Thus the line of brushes b<1> is in series with the coils m<1>, n<1> mounted respectively upon the supplementary poles to the right and left of the brushes b<1>, and the pole p to the left is excited also by a current in the coil m<2> from the brush b<2>. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 describes also a four-pole machine wound on the Gramme-ring system, the supplementary roles situated between the main poles being provided with coils respectively in series with the brushes, which lie beneath them. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 22,325. Musgrave, J. V., and Howarth, T. Oct. 10. Washing. - In the drying-apparatus of backwashing machines in which the wool sliver passes round rotating perforated cylinders or shells, heated air passing through both shells and wool, cylindrical steam -chests are provided inside the shells arranged so that the drying-air is forced into the space surrounded by the chest, and then through a series of spaces in its side to the shell. In operation, the sliver, Fig. 1, passes round the succession of shells d, of which each revolves upon a boss e, Fig. 2, attached to its particular steamchest a, and all are driven through attached gearwheels h from a spur-wheel p. Steam is supplied to the space between the double walls of the chests a by pipes l, while air is fed by a blower through a pipe n, a gutter o, and a branch pipe m to the interior of each chest a, wherein it is heated. The hot air then passes through holes a<2> made in the walls of the chest a and in pieces a<1> of metal, shorter than the chest and interposed between the walls, to the inside of the shell d, through perforations e therein, and so through the passing wool g, drying it. A stationary baffle-plate k is secured to two rings f, intermediate of each shell d and chest a, so as to prevent air from passing through perforations uncovered by the wool q. Under heaters are preferably provided below the lower shell d. Squirrel-cage, instead of perforated, shells can be used.

Abstract: 1348. Beluze, C., and Langenieux, L. April 10, 1908, [Convention date]. [Addition to 21,674/07.] Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In weftreplenishing mechanism of the kind described in the parent Specification, wherein the magazine has a number of vertical compartments, each provided with a plunger and a single striker arm h, Fig. 1, for all the plungers, the bobbin n threads from the various vertical rows are respectively attached to buttons t so situated on the horizontal inclined bars u of a frame that, on the back stroke of the lay, the thread from a freshly-introduced bobbin is exactly in the line of axis of the shuttle, when this is picked. Breakage of the thread is thereby prevented. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the following features. A forked feeler x, Fig. 3, is moved back by the weft in the shuttle y at each beat-up, thereby operating a lever 2 and an axle 3, so that a cam 5 raises a spring- pressed lever 6 out of the path of an oscillating foot or lever 8. When the weft is so far exhausted that it no longer presses back the feeler, the lever 6 pivoted on a lever 7 on a shaft m, Figs. 1 and 3, is operated by the lever 8, and the shaft m is turned against spring action. This shaft carries an arm n, which moves an abutment o connected to the lower part of the plunger h into the path of an abutment p on the lay, and the plunger h is thereby operated. An abutment 10 acts on the lever 2 during the beat-up, and allows the feeler x to move backwards under spring action until the lay is at the extremity of its stroke, whereupon the abutment 10 passes behind and frees the lever 2. The feeler is thus prevented from coming into action until shuttle-box changing has been completed. In order to position exactly the bobbin magazine, which is moved on slides by connexions j, k, l from the mechanism for displacing the shuttle boxes, a roller 11 on a spring-actuated oscillating lever 12 engages in a rack 14 fixed to the back of the magazine. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
