Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Wire Fabric.
Filed: 1906-05-09
Granted: 1907-06-08
Abstract: 10,879. Lake, H. H., [Clinton Wire Cloth Co.]. May 9. Switches ; transformers.-Relates to means for closing and opening transformer circuits in the electric-welding part of a machine for making wire fabrics. A shaft 10, which is shown displaced in Fig. 13, completely rotates a shaft 14 during one half of each revolution, and locks it during the other half, by gears 12, 13. During the dwell of the shaft 14, the slide 40 carrying the front dies 72 is moved from the work, retained in that position while the strand wires 2 are fed forward and a new cross-wire 3 positioned, and again moved to the work by eccentric-rods, eccentrics on sleeves on the shaft 14, and intermittent gears 21, 20. During the dwell of the slide 40, cams 125 on the shaft 14 advance the back dies 135 in turn, a switch 308, 311 in the transformer primary circuit being simultaneously closed by cams 310 on the shaft 10. Each die 72, 135 is secured by a clamp 136 to an insulated copper block 70 or 133, the latter being carried by a slide 120 fitted with a roller 124 to engage the cam 125 and slotted to receive a retracting-spring 126. Each slide 120 carries an adjustable block 143 for moving the contact 187 into engagement with the spring-mounted contact 168, both these contacts being slit at 190 and 171 to receive bus-wires x in the primary circuit of the transformer, these wires being retained by nuts. Each plunger 43 carrying a block 70 is laterally adjustable in the slide 40, and is pressed forwards by a spring 53 as the work softens, until the part 95, Fig. 18, of the plate 94 mounted on an insulating- block 93 engages the part 106 of a leaf spring 80, and thus closes an additional secondary circuit z, z<2> of the transformer 300 and causes the electromagnet 211, corresponding to the pair of operating welding-jaws, to attract its armature 210, rock the lever 207, and lift the catch 200, consequently allowing the springs 194 to open the switch 187, 168 in the transformer primary circuit. The transformer main secondary has extended terminals 301, 302, forming bus-bars connected with the welding-jaws by flexible copper bars 303, 304, depending from the jaws. The machine may have a transformer at each end, each being connected with half of the welding-jaws.

Patent GB-190627330-A (GB)
Title: An Improvement in the Application of Protective Devices to Electrical Transforming Machinery
Inventor: SAYERS WILLIAM HIGLEY
Filed: 1906-12-01
Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 27,330. Sayers, W. H. Dec. 1. Distributing; switches; cut-outs.-In a protective device for transforming machinery, an overload' relay is connected in the primary circuit, and when operated causes switches to open the secondary circuit or circuits, and then if necessary to open the primary circuit. The device is shown in Fig. 1 applied to a motor-generator, the coil R of the relay being connected in circuit with the primary member M. The core of the relay operates a switch arm to make contact with pieces F, J successively. When an overload occurs, the core moves the arm N on to the contact F, thereby closing a circuit from the battery E through the coil H. This causes the switch I in the secondary circuit G to open. If this removes the overload, the core of the relay R drops back to its original position, but otherwise it continues its motion whereby the arm N touches the contact J, thus closing the circuit of the coil K. This causes the switch O in the primary circuit to-open. The primary circuit is therefore not opened by any overload that can be removed by opening the secondary circuit. The switch arm may be provided with a roller contact, and may be mechanically connected to the core of the relay or may be connected by other convenient means. A modified form of switch is shown in Fig. 3. Two levers 1, 2, 3, and 4, 2 are pivoted on a common spindle, the levers being bent so that the lever 4, 2 passes across the other as shown. The end 3 is moved upwards by the relay core, and the end 4 drops into the contact 6 to operate the cut-out in the secondary, circuit. The end 1 of the other lever is free to continue its motion to close the circuit of the tripping-coil of the primary cut-out, if necessary. The end 3 is shown in Fig. 3 as lifted by the core 11 of an electro-magnet 7, which is energized by the operation of the relay. A dash-pot 13, vane, or train of wheels may be employed to steady the motion and to create a sufficient interval between the contacts. The device may be used for a number of secondary circuits, or to close a number of circuits in a predetermined order, by increasing the number of levers and contacts.

Abstract: 9950. Mavor, H. A., and Mavor & Coulson. April 29. Dynamos, driving ; dynamos, regulating ; motors, controlling.-The frequency of alternating-current generators, especially of turbine-driven multiphase machines, is varied by rotating the normally stationary element of the generator or of the prime mover, or of both, in either direction. The secondary element a, Fig. 1, of the generator may be rotated by an induction motor i, h, the secondary member h being on the element a. A band d on a brake wheel c holds the element a stationary when desired. The secondary a may be started up by short-circuiting its winding and releasing the brake d. The band brake may be arranged to be released by an electro-magnet when current is supplied to either of the elements i, h of the controlling-motor. In a modification, in which the generator is driven by the primary element of a turbine, the speed of the generator is regulated by rotating the secondary element of the turbine in either direction by a motor or by suitable gearing. In a further modification, in which two generators are used, the primary and secondary elements of the turbine drive respectively the primary elements f, h' Fig. 3, of the two generators. The generator f, a is further controlled by an induction motor h, i. The secondary member m may be geared to the shaft k or may be driven by a motor so as to vary the frequency of both generators.
