Title: Improvements relating to the Ventilation of Electric Motors.
IPC: H02K9/06
Filed: 1909-11-10
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 26,005. Mavor, H. A., and Mavor & Coulson. Nov. 10. Armatures and field magnets, cooling and ventilating.-The ventilating action of the armature of a motor is assisted by a fan of the radial type, and a second fan is used to force a current of air oppositely to the first for cooling the field coils. Fig. 1 shows an armature having the known central space b and radial ducts c, obtained, for example, as described in Specification 18,343/06, and giving axial air currents along the armature surface. This action is assisted by a radial fan d having its blades shrouded at d' so as to ensure axial expulsion of the air. The field coils e are cooled by a second shrouded radial fan f, which may be carried by the same structure as the fan d. Both fans draw their supply from the commutator end of the motor, and the inner one expels its air at the opposite end, while the outer one returns its air to the same end.

Abstract: 29,344. Macaskie, S. S. July 30, [Convention date]. Railway locomotives, steam.-In superheaters for boilers of the locomotive type, in which groups of tubes connect in series separate chambers or drums arranged in the smoke-box, an intermediate chamber is arranged between the blast - pipe and the chimney, and is connected by tubes to corresponding drums on each side of the smoke - box. In the construction shown, each drum comprises two front chambers A, B and three rear chambers C, D, E. Corresponding chambers are connected by groups of tubes A', B', C', D<1>, E', bent to the contour of the smoke-box. To prevent the tubes A, B<1> from interfering with the draught, an intermediate chamber G is provided having a central conical passage G<3> for the exhaust steam from the blast pipe H. The superheater tubes A<1>, B<1> are expanded into the outer walls of the chamber G, which is divided into compartments G<1>, G<2> communicating with the chambers A, B respectively. A baffle such as L directs the furnace gases on to the tubes. Fig. 3 shows the course of the steam through the various chambers.

Abstract: 15,271. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. June 25. Dobbies.-An auxiliary shedding - mechanism f o r weaving names, trade marks, or designs, &c. in the borders or other parts of a fabric comprises jack levers 5, Fig. 3, hook levers 10, hooks 11, 11<1>, and lifter-bars 14, 14<1> on the arms 14<2>, 16<1>, Figs. 2 and 3, of a frame loosely mounted on a shaft 15, the arm 16<1> being actuated to move the lifter-bars by a lever 16 operated from the bottom shaft by a connector 18. The hooks 11, 11<1> are controlled, directly or through wires 12, from dobby fingers 13 pivoted on a rod 24 and provided with fingers 13<1> controlled by a pattern surface 28, preferably an endless band or belt of fibre or flexible material suitably punched and guided by pulleys 28b. A bowl on the lever 16 engages a cam-lever 20 and rocks it about a stud 20<1>, thereby also rocking an arm 23 pivoted on the rod 24 and connected to the lever 20 by a link 21, the pattern cylinder carried by the arm 23 and by another arm 25 on the rod 24 being thus moved up and down, so that the pattern surface 28 may operate the dobby fingers and hooks. The pattern cylinder comprises end disks 27, 27<1>, provided with pegs to engage holes in the edges of the band 28, and intermediate supporting- disks. A pull pawl 30 engages a ratchet-wheel 29 fixed to the end disk 27, and thus rotates the cylinder as it falls. A spring-actuated pin or plunger in a boss 23<2> on the arm 23 engages the ratchet-wheel 29, and locks or holds the pattern cylinder after each movement thereof. Harness cords 7 passing through a guide-plate 8 and comber - board 9 are connected to the jacks. The band 28 passes under a tension roll 28<a> on an arm 25<3>, whereby a uniform tension on the band is obtained. An ordinary pattern chain of linked wooden bars carrying pattern pins may be used instead of the band 28.

Abstract: 20,109. Imray, 0., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Aug. 29. #-Azoanthraquinone and anthraquinoneazhydrin are formed together in varying proportions by oxidizing #-aminoanthraquinone at a raised temperature with chloride of lime. Indanthrene and its leuco compounds are obtained from the anthraquinoneazhydrin by treating the above-described mixture with reducing-agents, such as alkali hydrosulphite, grape sugar, or stannous oxide. This transformation may be effected on the fibre by applying the product together with a reducing-agent, such as hydrosulphite, to the fibre, and steaming. Hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid yields a mixture of indanthrene and chlor- or bromindanthrene.
