Abstract: 24,434. Carter, F. W. Oct. 25. Commutating-windings; exciting.-Commutating and compensating windings are so arranged that the resultant field-strength progressively increases along the commutating-zone. The effect is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 2, in which the fields due to the armature and commutating-coils are respectively plotted against peripheral distance at Z aod Y, the resulting field being shown at X. The graded field is attained by winding, in addition to the ordinary winding C, Fig. 4, on a commutating- pole, an extra coil B carrying a current proportional to the armature current. This coil may be arranged in slots in the pole parallel with, or slightly oblique to, the axis of rotation. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, the compensating- winding D is arranged with its magnetic axis O Q advanced in the direction of rotation ahead of that O P, of the armature winding A, instead of coinciding therewith, the conductors D being so distributed in the commutating region as to provide a graded field to give commutation with uniformcurrent density.

Abstract: 25,608. Brock, M. Oct. 26, 1907, [Convention date]. Loose-nailing. - Relates to means for actuating the tack-supplying mechanism of lasting and like machines, and particularly of bedlasting machines of the type described in the companion Specification 22,630/08, [Class 17, Boots &c.], and consists in an arrangement whereby the means for actuating the jacking or lasting mechanism sets into operation a slower-moving actuator for the tacksupplying mechanism. The jacking or lasting mechanism is controlled by a treadle 16; and, when this is depressed, it also actuates a rack and pinion 144, 142 and, through a pawl and ratchet-wheel 156, 158, causes a strong spring 146 to be wound up. This spring, as it unwinds, drives a belt 162, which actuates a tackdelivering device 164, 168 for loading a removable hand tool 170. A dash-pot 150,152,154 causes the spring to unwind at a slower rate than that at which it was wound up; a screw 155 provides means for regulating the speed of unwinding.

Abstract: 4992. Williamson, W. E., and Lovelace, E. J. Feb. 28. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Lift wells, screens or bands preventing access to. - Relates to means for preventing access to lift wells when the cage is absent from a floor, of the kind in which two screens attached to the top and bottom of the well are secured to the top and bottom of the cage respectively. The invention consists in using a differential counterbalance to take the weight of the screens, of which a preferred construction is shown. The screen 1 comprises horizontal tubes 5 to which cross strips 6 are pivoted at their centre. The meeting ends of the lattice strips are connected by bolts 7 which slide in slots 8 in the ends of the tubes. Alternate tubes are connected by ropes 10, two ropes being employed at each side of the screen. The proportion of the weight of the screen borne by the cage 3 varies from the full weight when the cage is at the top of the well to nil when the cage is at the bottom. To compensate for this, a rope 14 attached to the cage is passed over a fussee 13 mounted in a suitable position, and is attached to a balance weight 17. The leverage of the balance weight is therefore adjusted to the proportion of the weight of the screen carried by the cage.

Metacentric calculators. - Apparatus for determining trim and metacentric height comprises a table A, bearing a longitudinal profile diagram of a ship and supportable alternatively upon longitudinal and transverse pivots B, C. A platform E of determined weight slides in longitudinal guides and carries a laterallyguided weight H having a graduated arm J working across calculated " G M " lines F. A weight O, proportional to the light weight of the ship, is then placed on the table so that the whole balances on either pair of pivots. Loose weights P proportional to cargo and the like are then placed in assumed positions. The scale J is adjusted until the table balances about its longitudinal pivots, and the metacentric height is read on the scale J at the point cut bv that one of the " G M " lines for the dead weight corresponding to the weights P. The fore-and-aft trim is obtained by moving the platform F until the table balances about the transverse pivots C.

Abstract: 17,185. Dunne, J. W. July 19. Planes, arrangem e n t and construction o f ; framework. - To avoid collapse of an aeroplane when a boom or strut is broken by a bullet or otherwise, each boom and strut is duplicated, one member being set immediately behind the other, and the shapes and cross-sectional areas of the members are so arranged that, while the effective strength of the structure is maintained, the total weight is not materially increased. Fig. 4 shows the application to a biplane. The framework for each supporting-plane is formed with two pairs of transverse booms b, one pair, Fig. 6, near the forward edge, and the other pair, Fig. 7, slightly in advance of the trailing edge. The booms of the upper and lower planes are connected by vertical struts d, of which the members of each pair are provided at intervals with distances-pieces 3, Fig. 3. The cross-sectional shapes of the booms and struts are substantially such as would be obtained by the longitudinal severance of the usual solid members followed by a slight thickening of the parts in a fore and aft direction. The booms b may be strengthened by forming them with a curved forward edge as shown at 1, Fig. 4. The pairs of struts d may be enclosed in canvas or the like g, Fig. 3, so as to give a stream-line form to the section. In the application to a monoplane, the booms are stayed to corresponding vertical masts arranged in pairs along the inner edge of each wing.

Abstract: 30,149. Balassanian, B. H. Dec. 29. Propelling and steering by vibrating or reciprocating plates or fins. - Relates to a propeller for aerial machines which is also adapted for use in water, comprising, as described in Specification 30,183/09, [Class 4, Aeronautics], a pivoted plane or blade which, together with its pivot, is reciprocated vertically, so that its inclination is reversed at the end of each stroke. According to the present invention, pressure upon the upper side of the blade is avoided so that there is no depressing effect upon the machine during the up-stroke, and the inclination of the blade may be controlled by springs so as to give a lifting effect on the up-stroke due to the aeroplane action of the blade, or the blade may be free to swing about its pivot during the up-stroke, in which case there is no such lifting effect. The propeller may be reciprocated over a straight-line, segmental, or 'figure-of-eight' path. Fig. 2 shows an aerial machine provided with such a propeller c adapted to be reciprocated by means of rods e, shaft f, cranks g, and for example, pedals p. The inclination of the blade is controlled by springs or other elastic means o, which are adjustably connected to the machine at r and to arms n formed on sleeves m, which are mounted on the shaft f and provided with arms or pulleys i connected to corresponding arms or pulleys secured to the pivot d of the blade. In a modification, the blade is mounted to slide on vertical guides. The blade is rigid at the front and flexible at the rear. There may be two propeller blades arranged side by side, in tandem, or superposed. The machine is further provided with wings W and a tail T. When not in use as a propeller, the blade may be adjusted by means of the arms n or i and the cranks g for steering purposes.
