Abstract: 12,030. Schmidt'sche Heissdampf- Ges. Oct. 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Fire-tubes, arrangements of superheating- tubes in. - In smoke-tube superheaters of the kind in which the ends of the superheater tubes are connected in groups to intermediate headers, such as i, m, which in turn are detachably secured to main saturated and superheated steam headers, such as e, g, one end at least of each tube is bent so as to fit into a header wall which runs parallel or approximately parallel to the smoke-tubes. In the form shown, each superheater tube comprises two U-loops located in adjacent smoke-tubes of different rows, and groups comprising the four tubes of a horizontal row are connected to each intermediate header. Both tube ends enter header walls parallel to the smoke-tubes wherever possible. The intermediate headers i are connected to the main header e in groups of four, being secured by a single bolt k and two clips l. In a modification, in which double U-looped superheater tubes are arranged in enlarged smoke-tubes and the main headers form compartments of a transverse chamber above the smoke-tubes, the intermediate headers are detachably secured to the front of the chamber, the superheater-tube ends entering header walls parallel to the smoke-tubes as above.

Patent GB-191228795-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Detector Devices for Weft Replenishing Mechanism for Looms.
Inventor: SMITH ALFRED
IPC: D03D51/34
Filed: 1912-12-14
Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 28,795. Smith, A., and Perks, T. Dec. 14. Weft-replenishing mechanism.-In a multiple-box loom, detectors a, a' are mounted on each of the boxes 2, 3 of the multiple boxes B, one of the detectors being caused to contact with the weft and being then withdrawn, all during the movements of the boxes. The detectors slide through the box back b and through a guiding-bracket 10 fixed to the drop-boxes B, and they are provided with bowls c<2> acted upon by springs c, whereby they are moved into the boxes under the control of a sliding piece f connected by a rod g to a lever g<1> provided with two studs. Normally, the sliding piece f prevents the detectors from entering the boxes, but, when the boxes commence to move from say their highest to their lowest positions, the bowl c<2> slides down the incline f<3> of the part f and the detector a moves into contact with the weft in the shuttle in the box 2 ; this action is completed when the boxes have moved half-way to their lowest position. When the boxes move still farther, a projection on the box rod 4 strikes the lower stud on the lever g', which is thereby rocked, thus lowering the rod g and sliding-piece f. The descending piece f forces the detector a outwards from the box 2, so that after the boxes have changed, the shuttle can readily be pushed from this box. When the boxes move from their lowest to their highest positions, the detector a<1> moves into contact with the shuttle in the box 3. If the shuttle is sufficiently exhausted, the corresponding detector is enabled to move sufficiently far inwards to enable a catch-piece thereon to engage one or the other of two notches on a rod p connected to a lever p<3> on a shaft q provided with an arm q<1> supporting an arm r. As the detectors move up or down with the boxes, the rod p is consequently raised or lowered and the arm q is moved from its central supporting position. The arm r then falls into position to engage, when the lay beats up, with a bunter s, which actuates a lever s<3>, s<4>. A ratchet s<5> normally supported by this lever is. thereby allowed to fall into the path of a catchlever t, whereby the shuttle-changing or bobbinchanging mechanism is actuated. When the lay returns, an adjusting-screw r<4> on an arm r<3> on the lever p<3> engages a spring u, whereby the arm q<1> is returned to its central supporting position. The arm r is returned to normal position by springs v, v<1> engaging pins on an arm v<2> on the shaft q.

Granted: 1915-07-22
Abstract: 11,340. Siemens-Schuckertwerke. May 7, 1913, [Convention date]. Automatic gear.-The acceleration and retardation of machinery such as rolling-mills, cranes, and winding-apparatus, are controlled by checking the movement of the engine regulator, while the allowable acceleration and retardation may be varied with the speed of the machinery. I n t h e arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the operating motor m is connected to one element of a differential gear d, a second element of which is connected to a fly-wheel t. The third element of the gear carries a bevel - wheel l which gears with a wheel h, the spindle c of which carries a crank k. The motion of the spindle c is controlled by a spring f. The spindle of the motor-controller a carries a disk r engaged by pivoted checks k<1>, k<2>, the outer ends of which are connected by rods n<1>, n<2> to weighted bell-crank levers i<1>, l<1> and i<2>, l<2>. The operation of the arrangement is such that when the acceleration or retardation of the motor m exceeds a predetermined value, the relative movements of the motor m and fly-wheel t cause the crank k, through the intermediary of the differential gear d, to operate one of the levers i<1>, l<1> or i<2>, P, and so operate the corresponding check. The permissible values of the acceleration and retardation may be varied by varying the positions of the pivots of the bellcrank levers, or by varying the lengths of the rods n', n<2>. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the allowable acceleration and retardation are varied automatically by means of a small generator n driven by the motor m and connected to a motor v, the torque of which is counterbalanced by a spring w. The shaft of the motor v carries cams q', q<2> engaging rollers o<1>, o<2> attached to the pivots of the bell-crank levers i', l<1> and i<2>, l<2> by rods p', p<2>.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electromagnets.
Inventor: GROB HUGO
IPC: H01H83/08
Filed: 1914-12-23
Abstract: 24,537. Grob, H. Dec. 23. Electro-magnetic switches.-In an electromagnet for operating switches consisting of two single electro-magnets acting in opposition, in which the movement of the armature or mechanically connected armatures is brought about by a strengthening of one magnet and a weakening of the other, the initial movement of the armature is utilized to effect a still further strengthening and weakening of the magnets. In the construction shown in Fig. 1. the magnets have a common pole D, through which the two fluxes produced by the windings E', E<2> pass in the same direction. The magnets, when excited by the coils E<1>, E<2> only, are of equal strength, so that the armature C is in equilibrium. Its movement is effected by current passing through additional coils F<1>, F<2>, the direction of the current determining the direction of rotation of the armature. Mounted loosely on the axis R of the armature is a controlling-device G carrying contact buttons 1, 2, 3, 4. The initial movement of the armature C in the direction indicated, short-circuits the coil E<2> through a contact plate 5 fixed to the armature, a fixed contact plate 6, and the contact buttons 1, 3. Pins M<1>, M<2> in the plate H limit the rotation of the armature C with respect to the controlling device G. The controlling device may interrupt the circuit of the coil E<2>, instead of shortcircuiting it. The end movement of the armature re-establishes the original connexions of the coils E<1>, E<2>. The main switch operated by the electro-magnet may be mechanically connected to the controlling-device G. Easily interchangeable magnetic pieces may be attached to the pole-pieces A, B, or to the armature, to correct for mechanical differences in the two magnetic circuits and to compensate the resisting effect of friction. The correction may also be effected by differentiating the ampere turns of the coils E<1>, E<2>. The switch operated by the electromagnet may be employed to connect together two current sources, such as a dynamo and battery, when the voltage of one begins to outweigh that of the other, and to break the connexion in the contrary case. In addition to the coils E<1>, E<2> and F', F<2>, coils carrying the main current between the two sources may be provided to maintain the switch firmly in its closed position. The circuit of the coils F<1>, F<2> may be interrupted when the voltage of the dynamo sinks below a certain value. The switch may also be used in connexion with two thermoelectric elements connected together through the - coils F<1>, F<2>, to maintain the temperature in a room constant, the switch controlling a gasstove or water-supply. The switch may be worked with alternating current.
