Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Purification of Electrolytic Gases.
Inventor: KNOWLES ALBERT EDGAR
IPC: B01D45/08
Filed: 1910-11-23
Granted: 1911-11-16
Abstract: 21,600. Knowles, A. E. Nov. 23, 1910. Hydrogen; oxygen.-The gases produced by the electrolysis of water are purified, the hydrogen from oxygen and the oxygen from hydrogen, by each being passed through a catalyst contained in a heated purifier, which brings about combination of the impurity with a portion of the other gas. The gases entering the purifier are heated by the outgoing gas prior to their contact with the catalyst. The gas to be treated, coming from an ordinary washer, may be passed through a suitable meter; it then passes through a suitable explosion trap, and thence reaches the inlet f<12> of a suitably heated purifier f. The purifier f preferably consists of an outer chamber f<1>, provided with a lid f<3>, and an inner chamber f<2>. The gas passing up through the inner chamber f<2> is to some extent baffled by a system of webs f<7> associated with a disk f<6> in the flat circular portion f<5>. The gas passes through an outlet f<8> to the outer chamber f<1>, and then through the catalyst spread on grids which rest on webs f<9> attached to the outside of the inner chamber f<2>. The purifier is suitably heated, and the construction serves to heat the incoming gas at the expense of the hot outgoing purified gas. The purified gas and the water-vapour formed in the process pass through an outlet f<11> to a second trap where the vapour condenses and is removed. The purified gas is collected.

Title: An Improved Pole Changer for Electric Motors for use in connection with Electrical Systems of Operating Railway Points and the like.
IPC: B61L5/06
Filed: 1911-02-04
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 25,344. O'Donnell, J. P., and British Pneumatic Railway Signal Co. Feb. 4. Electric operation and control.-A pole-changer for controlling electric motors used for operating railway switches, &c., and particularly for use with the system described in Specification 2887/11, comprises a bar 109 operatively connected to a member which receives movement from the electric motor, two solenoid coils 36, 36<a> with a common core carrying a contact - maker 110 having contact-strips 35, 35<a> co-operating sets of fixed springs 37, 38, 39, 40 constituting the pole-changer, and two contact-levers 115, 116 urged by springs into the circuit-closed position and adapted to be operated by projections 111, 112 upon the bar 109. To reverse the points &c. from the position shown in Fig. 1, a circuit is closed at the signal cabin, energizing the solenoid 36<a> through the switch 116, to hold the contact-maker 110 in the position shown, and closing the circuit of the motor through the contacts 37, 38. The motor drives the points &c. and moves the bar 109 to the left. By reason of a lost-motion connexion between the member 110 and the bar 109, the initial movement of the bar and projection 111 allows the switch 115, 43 to close and prepare the circuit of the solenoid 36 for the next actuation of the points. The final movement of the bar causes the projection 112 to break the circuit of the holding-solenoid 36<a> at the switch 116, 41, at the same time moving the contact member 110 away from the contacts 37, 38 and into engagement with the contacts 39, 40, breaking the motor circuit at the first set and preparing it at the second set for the next operation. By closing another circuit at the cabin, the points &c. may be moved back the first portion. By overrunning, the motor generates a current which serves to indicate, in the signal cabin, that the movements of the pole-changer and points &c. have been completed. In the event of the points &c. fouling during their actuation as above described, before the contact-member 110, Fig. 1, has been moved over to the left, the indicator in the cabin shows that the complete movement has not been made. By switching-off current from the solenoid 36<a>, and switching-on current to the solenoid 36, the circuit of which has been prepared by the initial movement of the bar 109 and projection 111 as above described, the contact-member 110 is drawn to the left into its reverse position electro-magnetically, whereupon the motor circuit is completed for reverse running and the points &c. are driven back to their original position, causing the contactmember 110 to be carried back by the bar 109 to its right-hand position, Fig. 1, and the switch 115 to be opened by the projection 111.

Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 27,482. Etchells, Congdon, & Muir, and Muir, F. Nov. 29. Electric plant. - In the rheostatic braking of lift and like motors, the amount of resistance D<1>, D<2>, D<3>, Fig. 1, in series with the armature is governed by series coils H', H<2>, H<3> so as to be proportional to the load. The solenoid b' of the main switch having been de-energized, the load contacts b<1>, b<2> are separated and the braking contacts b<3>, b<4> are connected. The number of resistance steps then in circuit will have been determined by the selective action of the coils H<1>, H<2>, H<3> on switches E, F, G, which act progressively at different strengths of current,. and are held, so as to open-circuit their contacts, by latches e<4>, f<4>, g<4>. The latches are released by magnets M<1>, M<2>, M<3>, or by single magnet acting through a slotted bar on all the latches, and controlled by a switch P, which may be operated by hand or automatically by the motor starter. The starter may also be caused to open in the non-resistance position, a switch K controlling the circuit of the coils H<1>, H<2>, H<3>. The selective function of the coils is assisted. by providing the switches E, F, G, with adjustable screw-contacts. In another arrangement, the latches are mounted on a slotted bar m<1>, Fig. 3, the end of a slot in which is normally moved against a stop m<2> by a spring m<3>, but is moved by the magnet M to release the latches when the short-circuiting switch P is opened by the movement of the starter C from the ' off ' position. The switch K as before short-circuits the coils H<1>, H<2>, H<3> until all the starting resistance has been eliminated, but these coils may be energized from suitable contacts on the starter, dispensing with a separate switch for the purpose. The sections of the resistance may be arranged in parallel instead of in series.
