Abstract: 27,269. Lamme, B. G. Dec. 4, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Field magnets ; motors, controlling. -In order to prevent injury to the windings of an electric motor owing to the high induced voltage produced by a sudden interruption of the circuit, the motor, which may be operated by either alternating or direct current, is provided with an auxiliary fieldmagnet winding, which remains open-circuited when the motor is operated by alternating-current, and is short-circuited on itself w h e n operated by direct current, or upon disconnecting the motors f rom the direct-current supply circuit. As shown in Fig. 1, a pair of motors 1, 2 are connected in parallel to an alternating-current source 36 through contacts 10, 11, and in series to a directcurrent source 32 through a contact 4, the auxiliary windings 14, 14 being open-circuited in the first case and short-circuited upon each other through a contact 5 in the second. In a modification, Fig. 3, the auxiliary windings 43, 44 are permanently shortcircuited, and the connexions of the motors 45, 46 are so arranged that the currents induced in the windings 43, 44 assist each other when the motors are operated with direct current, and oppose each other when the motors are operated with alternating current. The voltage of the alternating current supplied to the motors is regulated by means of a transformer 34 and switches 28, 29, and that of the direct current is regulated by a resistance 33 and a switch 27; the circuit of the auxiliary windings may be controlled by the controller instead of by the change-over switch. The auxiliary windings 14, Fig. 4, are preferably placed on the field-magnet poles] 15 beside the main exciting- winding 16.

Patent GB-190724260-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Operating from a Distance Electrical or Fluid Pressure Driven Organ Blowing Apparatus.
Inventor: PAGE JAMES
Filed: 1907-11-02
Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 24,260. Page, J. Nov. 2. Switches.-The main switch of an organ-blowing motor is operated in one direction by gravity, and in the reverse direction by air pressure, under the control of trigger devices operated by means of a low voltage current from a switch at the keyboard. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the switch arm 3 is normally held open by a trigger arm 4 and a weighted catch 5. An electro-magnet 6 supplied from a battery 27 is controlled by means of a twoway switch 28, and, by lifting the catch 5, releases the switch arm, which is then drawn quickly on to its contact 2 by the weight of a bellows 10 acting through the rod 9, the circuit of the electro-magnet 6 being then interrupted by a change-over switch 20. The magnet 6 being de-energized, the trigger arm 4 once more engages with the catch 5, and the switch arm 3 is held in contact with the block 2 by a pin 3 on the arm engaging with the catch 4<a> on the trigger. At the same time, a valve 14, connected. with the switch arm or electro-magnetically-operated, opens a passage from the wind-chest to the box enclosing the bellows 10, and compressed air generated by the motor, which has been started by the closure of the switch, enters the box by way of the valve 14 and compresses the bellows, thus lifting the rod 9 and putting the spring 18 under tension. To stop the motor, the magnet 6 is reenergized by a depression of the switch 28 ; the trigger 4 is thus freed, and the switch arm is drawn upwards by the tensioned spring 18 ; the valve 14 is also opened, allowing the bellows 10 to sink to its normal position. In a modification, the upward motion of the rod 9 effects the cutting out of a series of starting-resistances.

Title: Rotary Air Compressors, Pumps or Engines.
Inventor: PATRICK ISAAC
Filed: 1908-04-06
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 7608. Patrick, I. April 6. Revolving - cylinder pumps. - The pistons are caused to reciprocate as the cylinders revolve by the engagement of pins on each side with eccentric camways. The cylinders and valve are water-jacketed, and lubricant, placed in the lower part of the casing, lubricates the pistons, cam-ways, and valve sleeve. Four radial open-ended cylinders 22, formed in one piece, are secured to an enlarged part of a shaft 17. Hollow pistons 23 working in the cylinders are provided at their outer ends with transverse sleeves 26, through which pass tubular shafts 27. Links 28, which slide in radial slots 29 at the sides of the cylinders, are pinned at one end to the shafts 27, and carry rollers 31 on studs 30<a> at the inner ends. The rollers run in eccentric cam-ways 32, which may be formed integrally with, or attached to the casing. A steel ring - 35 held within the outer flange of the cam-way takes the wear and strain. The inner ends 25 of the pistons 23 are wedge-shaped to increase the compression. In the hollow end of the shaft 17 is placed a fixed valve 37 containing a suction chamber 43, a delivery chamber 47, and suction and delivery ports 44, 48 which register with ports in the ends of the cylinders in certain n positions in the rotation of the cylinders. Gas is not admitted to a cylinder until the piston has moved some distance out, and is not discharged until compressed to the required degree. Situated between the valve 37 and the revolving parts is a sleeve 36 which rotates with the cylinders. It is provided with external ribs so that cooling-water may be circulated in channels 60<a> round the valve. The channels are connected by passages 64 with jackets 66 round the cylinders. Cooling - water introduced at 50 passes through the channel 54 in the shaft, round the valve 37, through the jackets 66, and thence to the connexion 70 by way of the channel 68 in the shaft. When the apparatus is used as a steam-engine, these jackets may be used to superheat the steam. In Fig. 18, a modified form of valve is shown, by means of which the apparatus may be reversed when used as an engine. The valve body 74, which contains the supply and exhaust pipes 77, 83, may be rotated in the fixed ring 81 by a handle 88 on a ring 87 secured to the body. The valve is locked in position by the engagement of a pin 93 with a hole in a fixed ring 85. The pin is carried by an eccentric strap 92 fitting round an eccentric 91 on a rod 89 inside the handle, so that a turn of the handle withdraws the pin from its hole. Piston rings are fitted on the pistons and valve, and a suitable stuffing-box is provided for the shaft.

Abstract: 10,404. Herring, H. T. May 13. Centrifugal and screw pumps. -To obtain a continuous circulation of oil or other liquid through a rotary pump for lubricating and packing purposes, the suction and delivery chambers contain a quantity of lubricant and are connected together by a pipe fitted with a cock. The pump a, Fig. 1, of any suitable construction, is connected by pipes d, e to the suction and delivery chambers b, c, which are connected by a small pipe f fitted with a cock g. The pipe f may communicate with the lower part of the delivery chamber and the upper or lower part of the suction chamber, or may be replaced by the pipe h. The difference of pressure established in the two chambers forces a quantity of lubricant, depending on the adjustment of the cock g, into the chamber b, where the level of the liquid is maintained just below the suction pipe d so that a continuous circulation of oil through the pump is effected. The chambers b, c may be fitted with both inlet and outlet safety-valves. Fig. 2 shows a modification for pumping liquids in which the suction pipe i is formed with an enlargement i<x>. This serves to retain a quantity of liquid, on stopping for the purpose of priming, while the valve g<x> regulates the capacity of the pump Figs. 5 and 6 show the device applied to the lubrication of bearings k, k<1>, filters t being provided.

Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 13,255. Barbas, L. June 22. Direct air-pressure apparatus.-Relates to valve apparatus for distributing gas or steam for forcing liquids out of vessels, and consists in a combination of two three-way valves, one of which is operated from the other. The valves d, e, Fig. 1, have each an opening therein engaged by extensions f<3>, f<4> from shafts f f<2>, which are connected together outside the casings by arms f<10>, f<20>, Fig. 2, having a pin-and-slot connexion. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the pressure fluid enters at b<1> and passes to the water vessel R. As soon as this vessel is empty, it flows past the float-operated valve r<3> to the valve e which is thereby forced to the other side of the casing. This action causes the reversal of the upper valve d, which then diverts the pressure fluid into the second water vessel S. A reversal of the operations referred to above subsequently takes place when the vessel S empties. , As each vessel R, S refills, the air above the water escapes through the lower valve e. In another arrangement of the two valves shown in Fig. 4, the valves are connected by a common shaft a.

Abstract: 16,166. Schettler, G. A. July 30. Hides and skins, raw and tanned or tawed, treating.-In a machine for shaving, whitening, buffing, skiving, fluffing, setting, or the like, the work is presented to the cylindrical tool by being passed over a narrow roller, the feed being effected by power-driven rollers which grip the hide between them. The narrow bed-roll 10 is carried by a bracket 14 at the top of a pivoted lever 4 below a work rest 46, so that depression of the treadle 6 brings a narrow strip of the hide into contact with the tool 2. The roll 10, as shown in Fig. 3, is journalled in a fork 12, which is mounted on ballbearings at 13 in the frame 14 so as to adapt itself to inequalities in the thickness of the hide against the action of restoring-springs 16. It may be iigidly locked by set-screws 17. The frame 14 also carries the bearings 20 of the feed-roll 18, which is driven by a chain 23 from a sprocketwheel 25 and gear-wheels 34, 35 driven from the power-wheel 31. The second feed-roll 19, which is driven by a chain 27, is carried by levers 21 swinging about the axis of the tool 2 on links 36 and coupled by an elbow-lever 37 to a rod 39, which rests on the counterweight 40 of the treadle 6. Depression of the treadle thus causes the rollers 18, 19 to grip the work and draw it over the bed-roll 10 in contact with the tool. To enable the feed-rolls to be moved independently of the tool, the rod 39 is linked to an auxiliary pedal 44, depression of which draws the rod 39 off the counterweight 40. The feed-rolls, which are mounted so as to leave clear openings at their ends to accommodate work of any width, are preferably formed of rubber rings slightly separated from one auother.
