Title: Improvements in and relating to Reverse Power Electric Relays.
Inventor: WATERS ERIC GORDON
IPC: H02H3/00
Filed: 1913-06-10
Granted: 1914-06-10
Abstract: 13,418. Waters, E. G. June 10. Electro-magnetic switches; protective arrangements. - A reverse-power relay is constructed with two movable current coils a, a', Fig. 1, and a fixed coil e which repels one or other of the current coils in case of reversal, the motion being continued mainly by mutual repulsion between the current coils, even if the interaction with the fixed coil should rapidly fail after the movement has been started. In one construction, the current coils are mounted on levers b, provided with counterweights c, and normally rest on stops d with their magnetic axes coinciding. The fixed coil e has its magnetic axis slightly displaced from that of the movable coils so that the repulsive force upon reversal tends to throw the affected movable coil off its stop. In a modified construction, Fig. 5, the movable coils a, a<1>, mounted on spring-controlled levers b, are situated in a gap of an iron core, one limb of which bears the fixed coil e, and have adjustable back stops d. The motion of the coils is arranged to open or close contacts in a relay circuit. In using the relay for the protection of parallel feeders against faults, series transformers f in the respective feeders g, Fig. 2, excite the coils a, a', and the coil e is connected according to the potential of the system. According to another disposition at the generator end of a duplicate three-phase feeder with the neutral point earthed, the fixed and current coils of the relay are connected to the secondaries of ring transformers embracing all three phases, there being under normal conditions no flux in the transformers and no current in the coils. In both cases, the result of a fault is to cause a current to flow through one of the movable coils in such a direction that it is repelled from its stop, the movement acting through the relay contacts to cut out the faulty feeder. In protecting parallel feeders at the substation end where the neutral point is earthed, pairs of current transformers are used for energizing the movable coils, and a potential transformer energizes the fixed coil, the fixed coils under normal conditions being energized and the removable coils without current. The relay may be employed to protect any number of feeders, generators, motors, transformers, &c. In the case of three generators, three relays may be connected one between each pair of generator lines. The invention may be applied to the arrangements described in Specifications 11,559,112 and 26,961/12.

Abstract: 13,457. Daniel, P. June 11, 1912, [Convention date]. Two-stroke-cycle engines. - In an engine in which the exhaust outlet opens before the inlet orifice and closes before the inlet orifice closes, the timing of the exhaust valve is such that a portion of the combustion products is retained in the cylinder which products in cooling facilitate the entry of the incoming charge. In the engine shown in Fig. 1, the cylinders are inclined on both sides of a central reservoir 18 to which combustible mixture may be supplied by a blower (not shown). The charge enters through terminal ports 36 and the combustion gases escape through a mechanicallyactuated exhaust valve 38. The time between the opening of the exhaust ports and the inlet ports is approximately equal to the time between the closing of the ports. Forcing-apparatus for gases.-The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the centrifugal charging-fan shown in Fig. 2 (Cancelled). The fan is driven from the crank-shaft through a train of wheels, the blades 15 being secured to a loose sleeve 21 on the shaft 12. To prevent damage in the event of a back-fire, the casing 16 has a yielding cover-plate 28. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 14,115. Br³gger, F. B³rki-, and B³rki, F. June 18. Order-type apparatus. - Electrical signalling- apparatus for targets consists of two transmitters operated by the marker and two indicators arranged at the firing point, whereby the score and the ' time ' of the shots are separately indicated. The transmitter of the score-signalling apparatus consists of a casing with two pivoted sector-shaped dials 4, 5 numbered respectively to indicate units and tens, and provided with spring pointers 6, 7 adapted to contact with studs on strips 10, 11 in electrical communication with the indicator. Adjacent to the strips 10, 11 are strips 8, 9 provided with figures corresponding to the dials 4, 5 and arranged in staggered relation to the contact studs. The dial 4 is slotted and the figures on the dial 5 are shown in the spaces, the complete number representing the score being shown through an aperture 12 in the casing. The indicator of the score-signalling apparatus consists of a casing with two toothed disks 27, 28. which are rotated by spiral springs, and retained by pivoted pawls 32, 33. The pawls are thrown out of action by electro-magnets 22, 20 which are respectively connected to the circuits containing the stud contacts 11, 10 of the transmitter, and are energized when the pointers 7, 6 make contact, thereby allowing the disks to rotate by one tooth at a time. The disks are provided with rims 27<1>, 28<1>, numbered on each half of the circumference to correspond with the numbers on the dials 5, 4, the rim 28<1> enclosing the rim 27<1> and having parts cut away in each half to allow the figures on the rim 27<1> to be visible. The casing is provided with apertures on both sides, so that the number representing the score appears to the marksman and to the scorer. The pawls are adapted to ring a signalling-bell 35 when operated by the electromagnets. In signalling the score, the marker first operates the pointer of the tens' dial, and then the pointer of the units ' dial, thereby effecting the setting of the disk 27 carrying the ' tens ' and the disk 28 carrying the ' units ' to show the number through the apertures in the casing. The transmitter of the apparatus for signalling the radial position of a shot consists of a circular ring of contact studs 39, a circular scale 38, and a spring pointer 37. The indicator consists of a spring toothed disk 43 carrying a pointer 44, and released a tooth at a time by a retaining-pawl 46, operated by an electro-magnet 47, which is energized when the pointer of the transmitter engages a contact stud. The pointer 44 travels over a fixed scale marked to correspond with the target face. In operation, the marker rotates the pointer 37 to a position corresponding to the radial position of the shot and thereby rotates the pointer 44 to take up a corresponding position on the scale.
