Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 27,623. Merryweather, J. C. Dec. 19. Starting, facilitating.-In apparatus for starting pumps, particularly centrifugal fire-engine pumps, a vessel is provided which is kept exhausted and can be connected with the delivery pipe of the pump for producing a partial vacuum. If the vacuum thus produced is insufficient, the pump may be put into direct communication with the pump that exhausts the vacuum chamber. An airpump A, driven through a piston clutch C from the main shaft D, is connected by a pipe K to the casing of a three-way cock J, to which casing also lead pipes M from the vacuum tank N, and L from the delivery pipe G of the pump F. Between the delivery pipe G and the cock J is a float valve in a chamber H, which allows the passage of air, but closes on water rising into the chamber, and opens the tank N or the air-pump A to the atmosphere. In operation, the cock J is turned to connect the tank N with the air-pump A, and the clutch C is thrown in by the lever E. To start the pump F, the cock J is turned to connect the pipes M and L. If necessary, the cock is again turned to connect the pump F directly with the air-pump A.

Abstract: 24,183. Brown, A. W. Oct. 19. Fire, police, and like alarm systems.-A number of stations are connected directly between a single line and earth, and any one of the stations can give an alarm consisting of current impulses the number of which is characteristic of the station. Each station, as well as a central station, is provided with a receiving-apparatus which is stepped round by the current impulses to indicate the calling station. The switch a, which may be of the kind that is locked in position when closed, energizes the magnet f, thus releasing the weight-driven drum h for one revolution. As the drum rotates under an escapement mechanism, the contact segments h' and the contact strips i send the characteristic number of impulses to line. The receiving-magnet j<5> actuates an escapement mechanism for the weight-driven wheel j, which is provided with escapement pins j<3>. The wheel j is inscribed with the names or numbers of stations, which are visible through an aperture in the front of the box that covers the wheels. The flap k is released by the first movement of the wheel j, and completes the circuit of the alarm bell l. When the number of stations is large, a number of disks are employed, the first being geared to the second by a spring catch at the end of the first rotation. Otherwise the names of the stations may be printed on a sheet which is drawn by the received impulses step by step from one drum on to another.
