Abstract: 6675. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. March 19, 1908, [Convention date]. Detecting faults in insulation.-An electric relay of the Ferraris type for protecting a polyphase circuit is operated by balanced forces due to the currents in the respective phases, so that a shortcircuit or reversal in one phase operates the relay Fig. 2 represents a relay in which a disk a adapted to operate electric contacts is balanced under the combined action of three windings fed through transformers 6, 7, 8 in the respective phases. The windings may be connected directly in the several phases, or through potential instead of series trans- - formers. The sensitiveness is adjusted by a spring and a screw c. To obtain a more powerful effect three separate relay motors may be mechanically coupled together. The Specification in the original form, as open to public inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a modification, represented in Fig. 4, having an armature 19 balanced between tbeopposite pulls of a magnet 10 in one phase of the system and a magnet 11 with windings in the other two phases ; and other modifications employing the thermal or electrostatic effects of the different currents, which are not further described. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 20,588. Soc. Anon. pour l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs Westinghouse-Leblanc. May 21, [Convention date]. Condenser systems; jet condensers.-Relates to means for obtaining and maintaining a high vacuum in condensers, especially injection condensers, by separating gases from the liquid employed for condensing. The liquid is led on its way to the condenser 10, Fig. 3, through an intermediate chamber 2, in which a pressure intermediate between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure in the condenser is maintained by a pump or ejector 9. The kinetic energy of the liquid entering the chamber 2 is utilized in an injector 7, 6 to extract the air coming from the condenser by a pipe 13, 8, and to force the air into the chamber 2. The chamber 2 consists of an outer closed tube and an inner open-ended tube 1 to which the entering water is supplied. The liquid rises in the annular space between the tubes and passes by an outlet 5 to the condenser jets. In another form of apparatus, the steam and water in the condenser flow in opposite directions, the water flowing downwards in a series of cascades. Figs. 5 and 6 show a refrigerating-apparatus in which the liquid to be cooled falls down the chamber 17. Air and steam are drawn into the condenser by a steam injector 20. The steam is condensed by water admitted by the channel 21. The air is withdrawn from the condenser through the outlet 23, which is connected through the pipe connexions 8, 8<1>, Fig. 6, to the upper portions of the air-separating chambers 1, 1<1>. Air separated from the water to be cooled, which passes through the chamber 1<1>, is drawn through the passage 25 to the chamber 1 through which passes the condensing- water. An injector 9 removes air from this chamber.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Ammunition Hoisting and Loading Apparatus of Heavy Guns.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TUEVOR
IPC: F41A9/50
Filed: 1910-09-23
Granted: 1911-09-25
Abstract: 22,123. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Norne, J. Sept. 23. Loading-appliances.- Relates to hydraulic ammunition hoists, and consists in the provision of two co - operating hand-levers, one on the loading-arm or gun slide and the other in the working chamber below the gun, for controlling the working of the hoist. The hand-lever B<2> on the loading-arm B<1> operates a valve B<3> so that when the lever is in the " Lower " position, as shown, pressure fluid, admitted by the port b, passes by the port b' and flexible pipe b<2> to the casing of a differential ram c. The ram is connected by a pin and slot to the handlever C<2> in the working chamber C<1>, and is under constant fluidpressure admitted at one end by the pipe c<1>. The pressure transmitted by the pipe b<2> moves the ram c to the right and changes-over the lever C<2> from the " Raise " to the " Lower " position, thus opening the control-valve C<3> of the hoist-press C to exhaust, and setting the spring-pressed bolt c<4> into position to lock the hoist cage A' in its lowest position. The lever C<2> is locked by a spring catch in the " Raise " position, but the catch is released by the ram c as it moves to the right. As the cage descends, a cam-piece A<Î> on it moves away from a spring bolt B<Î> connected by a pin and slot b<Î> to the lever B<2>. The bolt can then be forced outwards by its spring, and rocks the lever B<2> back to the " Raise " position, thereby actuating the valve B<3> and connecting the pipe b<2> to the exhaust b<2Î>. The ram c is now moved to the left by the pressure in the pipe c', but, on account of the pin-and-slot connexion, without affecting the lever C<2>. When the lever C<2> is moved by hand to the " Raise " position, the bolt c<4> is withdrawn, the control-valve C<3> is opened to pressure, and the cage raised. An " intercepting- valve " D controlled by a second valve actuated by the movements of the breech-screw carrier, as described in Specification 20,129/10, may be combined with the valve C<3>. The cage is locked during the ramming of the ammunition by a bolt E controlled by the rammer E<1> in the usual manner, and, in reaching its lowest position, the cage engages with a rod c<5> and operates a throttle valve c<6> in the exhaust-pipe of the valve C<3>, so that the cage is gradually brought to rest.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Actions for Automatic Musical Instruments, Organs and the like.
Inventor: SCHWERTNER JOSEPH
Filed: 1911-05-09
Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 11,210. Schwertner, J. May 9. Actions.-In a pneumatic action for automatic musical instruments, organs, &c., tapered rods are reciprocated in the bleed-holes to prevent them from becoming choked with dust. The valve 10 is operated through the diaphragm 4 by air admitted to the chamber 3, through the duct 2. The valve - stem 5 is provided with a tapered extension 20, which passes through a bleed-hole 19 connecting the chamber 3 with the chamber 15, which is connected to the exhaust-chest 7. When the diaphragm 4 is inflated and deflated, the extension 20 reciprocates in the bleed-hole 19, and pushes out dust or other foreign matter. The movement of the diaphragm 4 is sufficient to lift the part 20 out of the bleed-hole. Owing to the taper of the extension 20, the effective area of the bleed-hole 19 is increased when the diaphragm 4 is inflated, so that the deflation of the diaphragm is effected quickly. The extension 20 also acts a guide for the valvestem. A modification which operates by pressure is described.
