Granted: 1903-09-17
Abstract: 23,596. Watson, H. G. Oct. 29. Corking; bottling.-Relates to a nozzle for filling bottles with aÙrated liquids, and to means for corking the same. Fig. 5 shows the nozzle h, and Fig. 4 a section of the nozzle screwed to the head a with rubber mouthpiece k secured by a cup l. Liquid enters a groove o<1> (formed by contracting the nozzle at p) from the pipe o connected through the valve e to the supply pipe b, the valve being controlled by a spring e<1> and actuated by the eccentric d<1> on the spindle d, which is turned by a handle. The liquid passes through inclined grooves r in the tightly-fitting piece q, and then through the annular groove between the annular bead m in the head and a corresponding part n in the nozzle ; on entering the bottle, the liquid clings to the edges of the neck, allowing gas to escape by the holes s in the tapered portion g, communicating by passages t with a groove u connected with an air-escape pipe. When the bottle is full, the valve e is closed, and the cork i driven home by the driver j. In a modified form, the liquid is delivered through inclined passages x, Fig. 6, the gas escaping through an annular groove y to a passage z leading to a groove u and air-escape passage v. An automatic valve, regulated by a spring or weight, may be fitted to the air-outlet passage, to regulate the pressure within the bottle or the flow of liquid to the bottle.

Abstract: 1326. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Jan. 19. Phenylglycine-o-carboxylic acid.-Consists in improvements in the process described in Specification No. 22,758, A.D. 1900, whereby phenylglycine o-carboxylic acid is obtained in about a quarter of the time previously necessary.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Alternating Current Induction Motors.
Filed: 1903-10-14
Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 22,190. Hunt, L. J., and Sandycroft Foundry Co. Oct. 14. Armatures; field magnet.-Relates to a method of connecting the windings of three-phase alternating-current induction motors to the supply circuit so that the number of magnetic poles may be varied. The "mesh "-connected winding, shown in Fig. 3, applied to a stator, having three ordinary leads T', T<2>, T<3>, is provided with additional leads M', M<2>, M<3> at the middle points of the windings of each phase, and by connecting the middle leads M', M<2>, M<3> to the supply circuit C', C<2>, C<3> and simultaneously shortcircuiting the terminal leads T', T', T<3>, a " star " winding is obtained having double the number of parallel circuits. A switching-device for changing the windings from a " mesh " to a " star " arrangement is shown in Figs. 5 and 6, in which three arms S, s on both sides of the handle H are moved in turn to connect either the terminal or the middle leads to the supply circuit. In the latter position, the terminal leads are short-circuited by the engagement of the contacts t<1>, t<2>, t<3> with an insulated bar B carried by the arms s. The invention is equally applicable to the windings of the rotor, in which case either the terminal or the middle leads are connected together, with or without resistances in circuit, leaving the other connections externally open. In Fig. 8, the middle leads are put in communication by a suitable switching-device S<1>

Title: Improvements in or relating to Friction Gears.
Inventor: ERICSON ERIC
Filed: 1903-11-23
Granted: 1904-01-21
Abstract: 25,590. Ericson, E. Nov. 23. Belt gearing; friction gearing; toothed gearing; pulleys and driving -drum s.-Relates to friction arrangements by which a shaft can be connected to a toothed wheel, pulley, &c. with an amount of friction, varying automatically according to the power required. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement in which friction wheels 1 pivoted on a fixed frame bear against a shaft 6 and the inner surface of a circular track 4. One or more of the wheels may have an elastic covering 12. The track 4 is divided, and has a partial spiral external surface which fits a corresponding inner bearing surface of a pulley 5. A spring 10 normally expands the track 4, the compression of which varies with the load applied to the pulley 5. The external surface of the track 4 may be variously shaped. The ring 4 may be compressed by levers or anchors acting by the relative motions of the rings 4, 5, or by balls when the ring 4 is polygonal. A crank handle such as used for a hand-driven centrifugal machine may also operate to compress the ring 4. In a modified form, the wheels 1 are mounted on the side of a second pulley loose on the shaft, the ring 4 being, in this form, adjusted by partially-screwed and cone surfaces on the rings 4, 5. Reverse motions can be obtained in this case by braking either the pulley 5 or the loose pulley.

Abstract: 13,028. Friedmann, M., and Knoller, R. June 23. Atmospheric vapour burners; vaporizing-apparatus.-To prevent condensed vapour from entering the nozzle of a vapour burner at starting, a pipe or chamber is connected beyond the nozzle to the pipe leading from the vaporizer to the nozzle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the vertical pipe k connected to the vaporizer v is provided with an extension closed by a cock b, and any condensed vapour passes by the nozzle d and collects in the pipe. The cock b is opened at startirig until no more condensed vapour issues, or, if the part below the nozzle is large enough, the cock is only opened occasionally to drain the pipe. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the condensed vapour is led into a larger space r, which is occasionally emptied by opening the cock b. In another modified form, the condensed vapour is led from below the nozzle to the combustion chamber, where it is reconverted into vapour and burnt.

Title: Improvements in Multiple Telegraphy
Inventor: JONES STERNS FRANCIS
Filed: 1905-07-25
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 15,299. Jones, S. F. July 25. Telegraphs.-In a telegraph line two terminal stations can exchange signals by use of " duplex " and " strength and polarity " methods so that two distinct sets of signals may be sent each way, and at the same time they can simultaneously exchange signals by use of rapidly alternating currents and the duplex method. Instead of a telephone diaphragm a relay of special construction is used, which is affected by alternating currents. The main line m is shown in the Figure with two stations. Each station is provided with an artificial line x electrically similar to the rest of the main line, with a neutral relay n affected by variations in current strength, a polarized relay p, and the relay P. The transmitting-apparatus consists of a polechanging device t, a current-strength changing device v, and an alternating device w. The device v introduces into the main line a resistance 4 and connects a leakage branch to earth through resistances 5. Continuous current alone is employed by these receiving relays, which are unaffected by a rapidly alternating current. A rapidly alternating current will, however, affect the relay P through the induction coils 11, 9. The transmitting-apparatus consists of a high-frequency generator 30, induction coils 40, 41, 42, and a Morse tapping key. Normally, current flows through both the coils 41, 42, which have equal and opposite effect on the main coil 40. When the key is pressed down, the current flows only through the coil 41. Each elemental signal consists of a group of alternations. The relay P is of the ordinary form of polarized relay but without magnetic bias. The armature 18 when no impulses are present closes the local circuit of a sounder, but under the influence of rapidly alternating impulses it takes up a central position between the stops, leaving the local circuit open. In this way the two stations can simultaneously send three distinct sets of signals each way.
