Granted: 1902-01-30
Abstract: 4899. Burnett, H. R. March 7. Electric railways and tramways with safety appliances for guard - wires, trolley wires for electric traction, and other conductors. Conductors. - The insulated guard-wires Bare earthed through the coils P, or through a fusible wire of an automatic switch which serves to break the feeder circuit F to the trolley wires B, and in some cases, the earth connection of the guard-wire is also interrupted when connection is made between the wires A, B. The main circuit is broken at the contacts G by the members I or H of the switch, under the influence of the spring J, when the catch L is released by the armature of the coil. Other forms of cut-out may be used such as an electromagnet or a falling weight released by the fusion of a wire. The earth connection of the guard-wire may be broken at the same time at the contacts Q by an additional bridge on the switch, so that if the appliances are used at each end of a section they will operate successively. In case either wire A or B breaks, the connection between them is made by the loop Z attached to the trolley wire, or by a plunger V attached to one wire working in a tube T fixed on the other wire, insulated sleeves or linings Y<1>, U being provided to keep them out of contact under normal conditions.

Abstract: 23,845. Mavor, H. A., and Mavor & Coulson. Nov. 23. Dynamos motors.-In a continuous or alternating - current dynamo or motor having a rotary armature surrounding a stationary field magnet, the parts are so constructed as to allow of oil passing from the inside to the outside of the machine and being caught by an external oilcatcher without coming in contact with the armature. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to a motor fan, and Fig. 5 to a generator. Armatures; field magnets ; lubricating. - Referring to Fig. 1, the field magnet 1, which may have four poles with windings on two of them, is mounted on a stationary perforated or hollow shaft 3, and is supplied with current by an insulated conductor 13 running through the shaft. The external armature, of which the core 4 may be built up of internally-toothed sheet-iron stampings, is supported by end plates 7, 8, provided with central hollow journals or sleeves 9, 10, mounted to rotate on the stationary shaft 3. One of the end plates 7 is provided with a lateral extension 11 carrying a commutator 12. Oil for the bearings is supplied under pressure through tubes or passages 18 extending through the stationary shaft. The running journals or sleeves 9, 10 are provided with annular flanges or projections 22, 23, which serve as centrifugal oil-throwers, projecting the oil into the stationary annular oil - catchers 24, 25. The inner of the two oil - throwers 23 has an annular recess 26 and projection 26<a> forming a grooved neck-piece, which is slotted at 27 to allow of oil passing from the inside to the outside of the apparatus and into the oil-catcher 25. In a somewhat modified form, the armature journals 9, 10 rotate on sleeves fixed to the stationary shaft 3, and oil is fed through passages in the said sleeve. Referring to Fig. 5, the external rotating armature is on one side supported by an end plate 8 and journal 10, formed with a slotted neck-piece 26<b> for the purpose described above. The commutator is carried by an annular projection 11, and the brush-holders are supported by pins 16. Dynamos, driving.-In the arrangememt shown in Fig. 5, the armature of the generator is driven directly by the flywheel 39 of the engine, to which it is bolted. Somewhat modified forms of generator are described in which the field magnet can be removed without disturbing the coupling between the armature and the engine flywheel.

Filed: 1902-02-22
Granted: 1902-04-03
Abstract: 4551. Imray, O., [Dye Works, formerly L. Durand, Huguenin, & Co.]. Feb. 22. Dyes, artificial.-New leucogallocyanines are produced by treating with a reducing-agent, such, for example, as those mentioned in Specification No. 21,415, A.D. 1898, the gallocyanines obtained by the reaction of a nitrosoalkylbenzylaniline sulphonic acid, or nitrosodiphenylamine hydrochloride, or gallic acid or its derivatives, such as gallamic acid, ethers of gallic acid and gallanilide ; or the sulphonated gallocyanines obtained by sulphonating with the usual sulphonating-agents the said gallocyanines derived from nitrosodiphenylamine. In one example, the gallocyanine obtained from nitrosoethylbenzylaniline sulphonic acid and gallamic acid is dissolved in sodiumcarbonate solution, and acetic acid and zinc dust are added, and subsequently hydrochloric acid, and the product is precipitated by common salt. In another example, the gallocyanine obtained from nitrosodiphenylamine hydrochloride and gallamic acid is reduced by means of hydrochloric acid and zinc dust. In a third example, the sulphonated gallocyanine obtained by sulphonating the gallocyanine used in the second example is reduced by means of zinc dust in accordance with the process of the first example.

Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 13,669. Boult, A. J., [Wachwitz, H., and D³nkelsb³hler, M.]. June 16. Plates; wire; welding.-Relates to the welding of copper and aluminium to form a compound body or alloy, and to the coating or plating of iron, steel, copper, or other metal with this body or alloy. Copper is first welded to aluminium in the manner described in Specifications No. 1053, A.D. 1900, and No. 20,657, A.D. 1901, no appreciable alloying taking place in this process. The compound sheet or body can be rolled or otherwise shaped into any desired shape or article, the sheet or article being then subjected to a temperature at which alloying takes place. so that the sheet or article is converted into aluminium bronze or the copper is provided with a coating of this alloy, according to the relative proportions of the aluminium and copper. In applying a coating of this alloy to iron or steel plates, a copper sheet is first plated with aluminium on both sides, as described in the above-mentioned Specifications, and the compound sheet applied to one surface of the iron or steel plate, the whole being then heated to a temperature at which the plate will not oxidize, but at which the sheet will adhere to the plate after rolling, hammering, pressing, &c. The whole is then raised to a welding temrerature and rolled, producing a coating of aluminium bronze on the plate. In another method, the copper sheet is coated with aluminium on one side only and united to the iron plate, the exposed copper surface being then plated with aluminium and the whole heated and rolled to form an aluminium - bronze coating, this method being suitable when the bronze is to be rich in aluminium. By using suitable rolls, or by hammering, pressing, &c., wire or other bodies may be similarly coated or plated.

Abstract: 17,829. Christian, W., Folds, O., and Holgate, S. Aug. 14. Rollers and roller heads.-Relates to means for lubri- cating the necks of fluted draught rollers in slubbing frames, jack frames, and spinning- m a- chines. Fig. 2 shows a side eleva- tion of the draw- ing - rolls of a spinning-frame in which an oil conduit 8 is bored through the cap bar 4, for the introduction of a tube, the lower extremity 9 of which extends below the body of the cap-bar. Oil passing through the conduit drips upon the neck 6 of the back fluted draught roller, while the sur- plus oil flows along a longitudinal channel 10 in in the top face of the side bar 5 to the bearing for the neck 11 of the middle fluted draught roller. The entrance to the channel 10 is sunk into a well to retain a sufficiency of oil. When a tube is not fitted to the conduit 8, the under face of the cap-bar is cast with a projection for directing the flow of oil.
