Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 28,520. Crompton & Co., and Murray, J. G. Dec. 18. Lighting systems.-An electro - magnetic switch for automatically connecting a battery to and disconnecting it from a dynamo according to variations in voltage is constructed so that the position of the cores can be varied with reference to the solenoids in order to vary the actuating-force. The movable contact G, biassed to stand out of mercury cups H, K, is carried on a beam E pivoted at F and oppositely attracted by two compound-wound solenoids A, B. One winding of each solenoid is in series with the contacts H, K in the charging circuit, the second winding of the solenoid A is connected across the terminals of the battery Q, and the second winding of the solenoid B across the terminals of the dynamo P. The main circuit is closed when the dynamo voltage preponderates, the series coils being so wound as to reinforce the contact when the current is flowing in the desired direction. If a reverse flow due to excess battery voltage takes place, the resultant action of the shunt and series coils opens the switch.

Patent GB-191203123-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Railway Systems.
Inventor: DESCHAMPS JULES JEAN
IPC: B60L15/00
Filed: 1912-02-07
Granted: 1913-02-07
Abstract: 3123. Deschamps, J. J. June 30, 1911, [Convention date]. Systems with motor-vehicles having external control; systems, sectional-conductor.-In an electric railway system, the current is supplied to each sectional conductor through a switch the position of which depends upon the presence or absence of a car upon the preceding or following section whereby the cars are accelerated or retarded so as to prevent collision. In Fig. 1, this blocking arrangement is shown as applied to the known kind of system using separate armature and field supply sections and a common return. Normally the switch arms k, l are held in the positions k<1>, l<1> by means of a spring, whereby the resistances H<1>, R<2> are short-circuited and the cars receive the full voltage from the feeders t<1>, d<2>. Each section is also connected to the feeders through a fine wire solenoid a which. controls the power switch for the adjacent section. In the Figure, a cnr is shown on each of the sections E<1>, F<1> and E<2>, F<2>, the power switches consequently moving into the positions k<2>, l<2> whereby the voltage on the field section F<1> and the armature section E<2> is reduced, the car C<1> being accelerated and the car C<2> retarded. In modified arrangements, the sections may be supplied from different sources having different voltages or, in the case of alternating current supply, having different frequencies. The interaction of two cars may extend to more distant sections so that a car is retarded or accelerated so much the more vigorously as they approach each other. On those portions of the line where the motors cease to take current from the line and work as generators, the armature of the motor is connected to the return through resistances which are varied according to the presence or absence of a car on the adjacent section. In a further modification, the armature and field sections of the system shown in Fig. 1 are overlapped, and in addition these sections may be fed at their extremities as shown in Fig. 3, whereby the loss of voltage along these sections assists in the retarding and accelerating action between two cars, for example, at M, and M0. This action is the more important as the armature and field supply conductors are reduced in cross-section. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) also states that the blocking action produced by feeding the armature and field sections at their extremities as shown in Fig. 3 may be employed alone if the conductor sections are sufficiently reduced in cross-sectional area. This matter does nnt appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Depth Regulators of Torpedoes.
IPC: F42B19/04
Filed: 1912-02-10
Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 3426. Whitehead Torpedo Works, and Lees, E. Feb. 10. Torpedoes, locomotive.- Relates to depth-keeping apparatus in which a spring- controlled movable member governing the motion of the horizontal rudders is subjected to the pressure of the external water, and consists in making the member in two parts, one part being under the constant control of the spring, and the other only during a limited inward movement of the member. In the form shown, the spring B is enclosed in a casing B' fixed to the shell A of the torpedo. At its upper end, the spring bears against an adjustable abutment b and at its lower end against the collar c<x> of a stem c attached to a flexible diaphragm D, which is subject to the pressure of the external water on its underside. The movable member comprises a disk C fixed to the stem c, and a ring C<1>, the outward movement of which is limited by its flange c<1> engaging a peripheral shoulder c<2> on the part C. The abutment b is adjusted to correspond to the required depth, and on launching the torpedo, the member C, C<1> moves inwards under the action of the diaphragm D, compressing the spring B, until the required depth is reached, whereupon the movement of the ring C' is checked by the casing B'. If a further increase in depth occur, the disk C alone moves inwards. The movements of the member C, C<1> are communicated, through the stem c, to an arm c‹, suitably connected (1) to a link e<x>, actuated by a link c which supports the usual pendulum E, and (2) to the engine controlling the horizontal rudders.

Abstract: 4167. Gasmotoren Fabrik Deutz. March 27, 1911, [Convention date]. Cylinders receiving liquid fuel.-In engines in which an auxiliary fuel is used to ignite the working charge, which is injected into the air compressed to igniting temperature in the cylinder, the auxiliary fuel is forced past a valve h along a passage g into a duct in the nozzle f. The air under, compression in the cylinder forces this charge back into the chamber b, whence it issues without having ignited in the chamber into the cylinder in front of the working charge supplied from the pipe d and the compressed air used for injecting the working charge. The auxiliary fuel may be a light oil or a part of the working fuel; in the latter case, the walls of the chamber bare made large enough to retain sufficient heat to vaporize the auxiliary fuel.
