Title: Improvements in or relating to Gyroscopes
Inventor: ANSCHUETZ-KAEMPFE HERMANN
Filed: 1906-05-01
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 10,185. Kaempfe, H. Ansch³tz-. June 28, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gyroscopic apparatus.-In a gyroscopic compass, the axis of rotation is restored to the horizontal, when it is disturbed to a certain extent, say five degrees from the level, by giving the gyroscope a torque round an axis normal to the axis of rotation and to the axis round which the inclination takes place. The frame 3, in which the rotation axis 2 is carried, is mounted on a knife-edge 4. A pair of arms 10, 11 carry contact-pins 12, 13 one or other of which is adapted to dip, when the limit of inclination is reached, into a mercury cup 14 or 15 mounted in the armature of electro-magnets 30, 47 and to complete one or other of two circuits, which raises, by magnets 23, 24, an armature 22 carrying a sliding block 19 to which is pivoted a pawl 17. This engages a crown-wheel 16 on the vertical spindle 6 of the gyroscope frame which carries the dial 9, and, when the block 19 closes the contact 36, 37, the two lower magnets 26, 27 are energized by the battery 38. The lower coils 26, 27 have a constant polarity, and the batteries 28, 45 corresponding to contacts 12, 13 are so arranged that the magnetic forces of the coils 26, 27 are weakened and strengthened through the cores 43, 44 influenced by the upper coils, so as to attract the armature 25 attached to the pawl 17 to one or other side so as to give the correct torque to the spindle 6 in order to neutralize the inclination. The cup 14, or 15 in which contact is made is paired by its magnet, so as to maintain the contact until the level is restored.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Hydraulic Clutches.
Inventor: CLIFTON WILLIAM GEORGE
Filed: 1906-12-07
Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 27,939. Clifton, W. G. Dec. 7. Hydraulic transmission of power.-Relates to hydraulic clutches of the type wherein the working fluid is arranged to resist the relative motion of two or more moving parts when power is transmitted, as described in Specification No. 24,376, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Mechanism &c.]. The invention consists in preventing or reducing motion of the driven part when the clutch is in the nominally "free" position by the introduction of an intermediate member which is carried by one of the moving parts. This member is connected to both driven and driving parts by gearing so that its speed is a mean of the speeds of these parts. The fly-wheel a carries a number of radial cylinders b each being connected with a cock c, which can be opened or closed by suitable means. The driven shaft f carries a gear-wheel h which meshes with gear-wheels i carried by a spider l mounted freely on the shaft f. An internal gearwheel m, rigidly secured to the fly-wheel or casing a, meshes with the wheels i. When the cocks care closed, relative motion between the two members of the epicyclic train is prevented and the whole apparatus rotates as one piece, the motion of the driver being directly transmitted to the wheel h and so to the follower without slip. In the free position, the small motion of the intermediate member is reduced by the gearing, so that the follower f has hardly any motion.

Title: Improvements in Cold Tyre Setting Machines.
Inventor: HACKNEY ISAAC MARION
Filed: 1907-08-06
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 17,865. Hackney, I. M. Aug. 6. Forging.-The fixed and movable heads 2, 3 of a tyre-setting machine have a small lateral play on the base 1, are separated by a spring 14, and are drawn together by means of links 40 mounted on eccentric portions of shafts 38, 39 journaled in the heads. The heads are recessed and fitted with packing-pieces 20 if necessary and with wedgeshaped jaws 21, the ends of which may be raised by wedges 17 to suit wheels of small diameter. A bridge-piece 15 is supported by the interlocking parts 11 of the heads. A wheel, when in position, is held by the clamp 53, and the jaws 21 are drawn outwards and thus closed on the tyre by means of blocks 31, arms 26, 28 on shafts 27, and levers 24 spring-connected with the arms 26. The final gripping, and the upsetting, if the tyre is of small dimensions, is effected by rotating the shaft 38 by means of a lever 57, the shaft being locked in its new position by a wedge 58 between a projection 59 on one of the links 40 and the flat side of a collar 60 on a concentric part of the shaft. The shaft 39 is of less eccentricity than the shaft 38, and is rotated, to effect the upsetting, by a lever such as 57 or by a lever 46 fitted with catches 47 engaging notched wheels 42. On the second half-revolution of the shaft 39, the lever 57 rotates the shaft 38, which is again locked in its new position, and the upsetting is continued by the shaft 39.

Patent GB-190724802-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Transforming Electric Currents.
Inventor: DAGOBERT TIMAR
Filed: 1907-11-08
Abstract: 24,802. Timar, D., and Dreger, K. von. March 21, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents &c. Act, 1907.] Converting alternating and direct currents; switches; transformers.-Direct currents of one tension are transformed into direct currents of a different tension by means of a transformer and synchronously - driven commutators in the primary and secondary circuits. In the elementary example shown in Fig. 1, the transformer 3, 4 is supplied intermittently with primary currents from a generator 1 by means of a switch 2. When the primary circuit at 2 is opened, an induced current flows in the secondary circuit 10, 11 in the direction, say, of the arrows 12, 13. The reversing switch 5, 6 is then thrown in to the contacts 8, 9, and the primary circuit closed ; a current is then induced in the secondary winding 4 in an opposite direction to that of the previous current. Owing, however, to the reversed connexion of the external circuit, 10, 11, a current flows in it in the same direction 12, 13 as before. The switch 5, 6 is next thrown back on to the contacts 7, 8, and the switch 2 again opened, when a current in the direction 12, 13 is once more induced in the secondary circuit. Hence, by synchronously operating the switches 2, 5, 6 so that the secondary circuit is always reversed and closed before the primary circuit is opened or closed, a unidirectional pulsating current may be continuously produced. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the switches 2, 5, 6 are replaced by brushes 2<1>, 5<1>, 6<1>. Commutators 14, 15, for primary and secondary circuits respectively, are placed on a common shaft 16. The primary circuit is completed by segments of conducting-material on the commutator 15 connected to a ring 19 on which bears a brush 20. The brushes 2<1>, 20 are connected in the primary circuit. Alternate segments of the secondary commutator are connected to rings 17, 18, on which bear brushes 10, 11 connected to the terminals of the external secondary circuit. The two commutators have an arrangement of segments which ensures that the brushes 5<1>, 6<1> are making substantial contact with conducting-segments on the commutator 14 when the brush 2<1> either makes or breaks contact with one of the conducting segments on the commutator 15. In another arrangement, Fig. 7, the primary circuit is not interrupted; a revolving armature 22 in a gap in the magnetic circuit of the transformer periodically increases and reduces the flux through the secondary winding. Two or more transformers may be used suitably connected to obtain a lessened pulsation of the current in the secondary circuit.
