Title: Improvements in Automatic Musical Pipe or Read Instruments.
Inventor: TYE ARTHUR JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1909-04-06
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 8284. Tye, A. J. W. April 6, Players for keyboard instruments; wind and like instruments; tracker-bars; winding-mechanism.- In an automatically-operated pipe or reed instrument, or an automatic player, the door of a box containing the tracker-bar, controls a valve for admitting air under pressure to this box. This valve may also control the wind supply to the motor of the pallet-valves and the winding-motor. When the catch e of the door d is fastened, the valve f is opened against the action of the spring g, to admit wind from the' pipe h to the pneumatic e. The latter expands, opening the valve l and connecting the box c to a chest m, which contains air under pressure. The door d may be provided with a glass panel. Slide valves n, o, controlling the pipe h are respectively connected to the "rewind" and on-and-off levers.

Title: An Improved Method of and Means for Burning Fuel for Firing Steam Boilers.
Inventor: COTTON FRANK
Filed: 1909-01-18
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 16,554. Cotton, F. Jan. 18. Steam - generator furnaces; air and steam, supplying; tuyeres. - Lignite, refuse, and other low-grade fuels are burnt in a d e e p mass in a closed bottom shaft furnace, the whole of the air and superheated steam necessary for combustion being supplied under pressure into the body of the fuel, and the resulting gases being led over incandescent surfaces before coming into contact with the boiler. The invention is an improvement on that described in Specification 1233/09. In the arrangement shown the furnace consists of a shaft 1 with a solid hearth 2 and a flared upper portion 18. Air and superheated steam are supplied through a tuyere 15 having a longitudinally flared outlet, and the products of combustion pass over the incandescent upper surface 16 and across the bridge portion 18 to the flue beneath the boiler. The steam for supply to the injector is superheated in a coil in a chamber at the top of the furnace or in the smoke-box. The furnace is fed from above, either mechanically or by hand, and the ashes are withdrawn at intervals. When fitted to a water-tube boiler, the injectors deliver through the furnace front, and the rear wall of the furnace is inclined.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Control of Induction Motors.
Inventor: MILCH MAURICE
IPC: H02K17/38
Filed: 1909-07-15
Granted: 1910-10-17
Abstract: 16,559. Milch, M. July 15. Alternating-current induction machines.-Induction motors are controlled by impressing on the secondary windings voltages which are the resultant of the secondary voltages of a pair of frequency converters. The frequency converters 3, 4, Fig. 1, may be mounted on the same shaft as the induction motor 1 or may be geared thereto and may be supplied with current through transformers 5, 6 or through a single transformer. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 in which the rotor of the induction motor is provided with a two-phase winding, each phase winding is divided into two parts and connected to slip-rings. The control of the induction motor is effected by moving the brushes on one converter and keeping the brushes on the other converter fixed, or by moving both sets of brushes in opposite directions, or in the same direction at different speeds. Instead of impressing the electromotive forces directly on the rotor, they may be impressed upon the exciting- windings of an intermediate commutating dynamo, the brushes of which are connected to the sliprings of the rotor.

Title: Improvements in Electric Furnaces for the Continuous Manufacture of Glass.
Inventor: SAUVAGEON MARIUS
IPC: C03B5/027
Filed: 1909-08-05
Granted: 1910-08-05
Abstract: 18,118. Sauvageon, M. Aug. 5. Electrode furnaces.-Molten glass is heated by the passage of current through it, and frit is fed on to it in a fusing and refining chamber which communicates with a working chamber or receptacle. Other heating-means may be added, especially for starting. In one form of furnace, vertical electrodes 7, shown in plan in Fig. 2, are placed at the ends of a deep channel 1. A lateral duct 5 having a removable roof communicates with a basin 4 in which the glass cools down for working; or, in order that ladles or pots. may be filled, the basin may be omitted and the duct provided with a sliding door. In another form for larger currents, electrodes 8, Fig. 6, project through the walls of a chamber 13 which is divided from a storage basin 15 by a floating dam 12. The roof of the basin 15 may contain a resistance by means of which the surface of the glass may be kept hot ; or electric arcs or gaseous fuel may be used for the same purpose. Feeding and working openings are provided at the ends of the furnace. Alternatively, there may be two dams and storage basins. In a third form movable electrodes 18, Fig. 10, are placed above the main ones 8, and the roof contains a resistance 17 so that the furnace can be started with cold material. Two such furnace chambers are situated on opposite sides of a working basin. In all cases the furnace bottom rests on a series of parallel low walls.

Abstract: 10,771. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. May 2. Automatic circuit-breakers; magnetic blowouts.-The main contacts 3 and the auxiliary contact 12 are carried on a longitudinally movable rod 6 working in guide-blocks 10, 11. The upper guide block 11 forms a pole-piece to an electro-magnet 31, which acts as the overload release and blow-out magnet. The auxiliary contact 12 which takes the arc is attached to the rod 6 by a spring 13. The contact-rod is held up as shown by a spring 23 acting through a lever 20 and a catch in the form of a bellcrank lever 26 pivoted on the lever 20. The catch is knocked away by an overload, and the contact-rod falls by gravity. To reset, the lever 20 is depressed against its spring by a handle 25, until the catch takes hold. The handle is then released, and the spring 23 closes the switch. If the overload continues, re-engagement of the catch is prevented.
