Abstract: 404. Kunkel, F. R. Jan. 10, 1908, [Convention date]. Casings. - Relates to the construction of a dynamo built up from a few parts which are light and permit easy assemblage. A sectional plan view through the centre of the shaft is shown in Fig. 3. The field stampings and end-plates are mounted in a cup-shaped sheet-metal casing 5 and are traversed by bolts 4, which support the insulating terminal-blocks 17. These blocks carry U-shaped clips 18, 19, the outwardly-projecting springy arms of which grip the metal tubes 27 containing the brushes. The commutator end of the casing is closed by a dished cap 20, which carries the brush-holders and enters the casing 5. The end plates have central protuberances 6 for the spherical brasses 7, which are secured by cupped washers 11 yieldingly attached to the casing by rings 13 and rivets 14. Short vertical sleeves 16, Fig. 2, are embedded in the brasses so as to form continuations of the oil-holes 15, and project through the top of' the outstanding casing 6 to prevent the brasses from rotating. Commutators. - The insulating - rings 35 and sleeve 3-2 which support the segments are gripped between reinforcing metal washers 36 by the turned-over ends 37 of the supporting-sleeve 31, which is forced on'to the shaft 8.

Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 1588. Newall & Son, R. S., and Skelton, R. T. Jan. 22. Wire ropes; strands of special section, ropes with.-In a wire rope built up of a core and an outer covering laid in opposite directions, to prevent rotation and unlaying of the rope when hung in a long length from a crane jib &c., the strands 2 of the core are made elliptical in form by being passed through a die or a series of grooved rollers, and are laid so that their shorter axes are disposed radially. To balance the untwisting movements of the core and the outer strands about the central axis of the rope, either (a) the aggregate cross-sectional areas of the wires composing the core and the covering are equal, but the wires used in the two parts have different moduli of rigidity; or (b) the wires are all of the same material, but the aggregate cross-sectional area of the wires in the core is greater than that of the wires in the covering. The outer strands may be circular or oval in cross-section, the flattened sides in the latter case lying circumferentially. The oval form may be produced by spinning a number of strands 1 of six wires with a hollow centre, and laying a number of such strands to form a covering round a core 2, as shown in Fig. 2. These strands, when pressed on to the core, assume an oval formation, as shown in Fig. 3.

Title: Device for Starting the Motors of Motor Road Vehicles.
Inventor: GRANDSAGNE PIERRE AJASSON DE
Filed: 1909-01-28
Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 2082. Grandsagne, P. A. de. Jan. 28. Spring motor-starting devices.-A means for starting the motion of motor road vehicle from the driver's seat comprises a pulley attached to the crank-shaft, on which is wound a cable operated by a spring situated longitudinally of the vehicle at the side opposite to the driver. Means for setting the mechanism by hand or by the engine is also described. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement, Fig. 2 a detail view in section, and Fig. 3 a sectional view on the plane C-D. The spring h, attached to the cable e, starts the motor by turning the pulley c, back motion being prevented by the pawl k. The cable f serves to put the spring under tension. One end enwraps the pulley c in the opposite direction to the cable e; the other end may be wound on a drum m loosely mounted on the shaft n. A ratchet-wheel s, rigidly attached to the drum m, may be operated by the ratchet v and hand-lever u. Running-back is prevented by a friction disk w, mounted on the screwed part of the shaft n, which is caused by the spring x, Fig. 1, to lock itself against the ratchet-wheel s. To release the spring for starting the motor, the ratchet is released by a rod z from the ratchet-wheel; the hand-lever u is then pulled over so as to disengage the friction-disk w by the ratchet v, which engages a notch on the disk. The spring h, can be put under tension by the engine. For this purpose, an eccentric 8 on the motor shaft causes the slide 4 to move to and fro, against the action of the spring 5. until a stop 11 on the cable f operates the system of levers 12, 13, 14, 17 to disengage the ratchet 9 from the ratchet teeth,

Abstract: 6085. Randall, H. March 13. Spray carburettors.-A fuel-nozzle i and air-pipes d enter a chamber e, the whole being contained in a casing a into which exhaust gases enter at band leave at c, The air supply to the tubes d is controlled by a hand-operated plate g. The air-pipes d converge upon the nozzle i in the side of which are provided jets i<1>. The supply of paraffin to the chamber h and of petrol for starting to a chamber k is controlled by a suction-actuated spring-loaded lift valve l<1>, Fig. 4, fitted on the chamber k, Fig. 1. Petrol is admitted by a pipe m, Fig. 4, to the seat of the valve l<1>, and paraffin from a pipe n flows to a pipe u connected with the chamber h, Fig. 1, when a piston p is depressed by a nut r on the valve spindle. Valves or cocks are placed on the petrol and paraffin pipes, and are so connected that when one is open the other is closed. A conical-pointed screw may control an orifice j<1> at the bottom of the nozzle i.

Connexions, varying.- Switches are arranged for varying the connexions of measuring-instruments to adapt them for various ranges quickly and without risk of a wrong connexion; the separate windings or groups of windings are connected between rows of main contact-studs, and between these main contacts auxiliary independent studs are fixed, the studs being engaged in various combinations by contact arms. Two rows of contactstuds A, Fig. 1, are fixed to a plate, and the ends of the windings W<1>, W<2> to be interconnected in various ways are connected between them as shown. Auxiliary contacts B are mounted between the main contacts. Each contact A, except the first and last, forms the turning point for a contactarm C, which rests with its loose end either on one of its neighbouring ma'n contacts A, as shown in Fig. 1, which shows all the windings connected in parallel, or on one of the auxiliary contacts B, as shown in Fig. 2, which shows all the windings in series. Other arrangements, part series and part parallel, may be produced by different connexions of the contact-arms. Each contact A, Fig. 4, consists of a bolt, held in position by means of the collar G and nuts F, and provided with an upper collar G<1> having a contact projection H.
