Patent GB-190922317-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Means for Balancing the Variable Strains of an Electric-motor or the like.
Inventor: JOHANNET MAX
IPC: H02P25/12
Filed: 1909-09-30
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 22,317. Johannet, M. Sept. 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Connexions, attachments, and adjustments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.- Consists in a spring of variable stiffness and is shown applied to the control of the field current of a motor by the movements of a pivotally mounted field frame resulting from the electromagnetic torque of the machine and the opposing torque of the spring. The field coils are tapped to insulated contacts h and receive current from a fixed brush i. The pivoted frame a is attached at d to a tension spring c, the other end e of which is attached to an arm k pivoted at n and having a roller m bearing on a cam o formed on the frame. The rotation of the field frame is thus opposed by an automatically increasing torque. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the application of such springs of variable stiffness to machine tools in which the resistance is very variable, to draw-bridges, dynamos, rolling-stock, motor-cars, tramcars, and railway cars, but no mechanical details of these applications are given. In rolling-mills, they may be used " in order to " more or less strain the pressing-spring in an " inverse ratio to the relative interval between the " rollers," the rollers themselves controlling the means which shift the abutment of the spring. The application to a tramcar trolly-boom is also shown, one end of the elevating-spring being arranged to shift so that the trolly exerts a constant pressure on the line at all elevations. The spring may be replaced by any mechanical or other device, such as a piston in an air, gas, or liquid cylinder, or by a counterweight &c. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Turbine Installation with Two Shafts for Marine Propulsion.
IPC: F01D15/02
Filed: 1909-10-12
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 23,312. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. Oct. 12, 1908, [Convention date]. Plant.-A two-shaft marine turbine installation comprises nine elements, five on one shaft and four on the other. The last element on each shaft is of the reaction type; the remaining elements are of the partial-impact impulse type. For normal power, or for independent action when cruising, steam is admitted by way of pipes a, g, and flows in parallel through the two sets of turbines, the element r, however, running idle, the steam exhausting from stage k being passed direct to stage l by way of a pipe q. For low power, the inlet a is closed, and steam entering the inlet g acts upon the stages k, r successively, whence it passes by way of a pipe o to stage c. The steam then divides, part acting upon stages d, e, f, and the remainder passing by a pipe p to stages l, m, n. For intermediate powers, additional nozzles leading to the stage k are opened, and, after acting upon the stage k, the steam passes along pipes q<1>, o direct to stage c and thence passes in parallel through the remaining stages d, e, f and l, m, n. In this case also, the stage r runs idle. The stage r may be replaced by a number of similar stages.

Abstract: 5902. Kettering, C. F. March 12, 1910, [Convention date]. Electro - magnetic interrupters.-An electromagnetic contact breaker which may produce a single " break " or may be converted into a continuous trembler is mounted with a condenser in one casing. The core 10, Fig. 7, of the contact breaker has an adjustable pole-piece 17, a spring catch 18 holding the core in its adjusted position. The core has two windings one of thick and one of thin wire. When current passes through the thick wire coil, the armature 15 separates the contacts 20, 21 and breaks the circuit through the thick coil. The fine coil holds the armature to the core and ensures a single " break "only. When the circuit of the fine wire coil is broken by a push button the armature acts as a continuous trembler. Switches.-A main switch 40, Fig. 2, is pivoted on a base 42 and carries pins 55a, which act on contacts 51-54. A plate 45 pivoted at 44 and pulled by a spring 46 holds the switch in either of its three positions. A push-button 57 may be depressed in either of the three positions of the switch 40, a bevelled surface 59 on the push-button engaging a similar surface on the plate 45 to push the latter sideways. With the switch in its mid-position, the push button when depressed is latched. Switches, locking.-The push - button and switch may be locked in their inoperative positions by a key turning an eccentric disk 61, which moves the plate 45 so as to interlock the projection 48 with a corresponding recess in the switch.

Title: Improvements in Combustion Chambers for Gas Turbines and the like.
Inventor: BLAISDELL BENJAMIN HENRY
Filed: 1911-10-17
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 22,928. Blaisdell, B. H. Oct. 17. Generating combustion products under pressure. - Apparatus for generating combustion products for use in connexion with gas turbines &c., of the type comprising an elongated combustion chamber surrounded by a water-jacket, and having valves automatically operated by the varying pressure in the chamber, is provided with means for allowing steam and water to enter after each explosion. The valves are provided with cushioning-apparatus to prevent concussion. The tubular combustion chamber 2, having an igniter 5 at the outlet end, is provided with a jacket 6, having a steam dome 7. Two valves 18, 19 admit steam and water to the chamber, and the rear valve 18 has a cushioning-piston 21. A steam-pipe 28 connects the steam-dome 7 to the space behind the valve 18, and a branch pipe 29 enables steam from a boiler heated by the waste heat from the turbine to be used, when required. A pipe 30 serves to admit water spray. An air-pipe 34 connects the casing of the air-valve 13 with the cylinder 22 in which the cushioning-piston 21 works. Air and gas under pressure are admitted by the valves 13, 16, having dash-pots 14, 17, to the combustion chamber, the rear valve 18 being at the same time kept closed by the air pressure acting upon the piston 21. When the charge reaches the outer end of the chamber 2, it is fired by the igniter 5, the valves 13, 16 being closed by the increased pressure, the valve 19 being at the same time closed, and the valve 18 opened. As the pressure in the combustion chamber falls, the valves 18, 19 move slowly forward under the action of the piston 21, at the same time admitting steam and water spray, which serve to drive out the combustion products and cool the combustion chamber. The ignitions take place at interval regulated by the requirements of the engine.

Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 23,663. Ellis, J. H., and British Insulated and Helsby Cables. Oct. 26. Insulators, particularly of the strain type, are made with a metallic or other hard core covered with insulation without join, the core being placed in a closed mould and the plastic insulation being forced around it by pressure. As shown in Fig. 1. the core a is hollow as at d and is provided with radial holes b along its length. Flanges c are secured at each end, and, to space the core in the mould e, mica or other insulating-washers f are placed on the core before the flanges c are attached. If the insulator is to be used in tension, metallic collars are also placed on the core. When the core is in the mould, bituminous or other plastic insulating material is forced by hydraulic, mechanical, or other artificial pressure round and over the core, so that on completion of the process no join exists in the coating on the finished insulator.
