Patent GB-191109383-A (GB)
Title: Improved Back Pedalling and Free Wheel Gear for Velocipedes.
Inventor: SACHS ERNST
IPC: B62L5/12
Filed: 1911-04-18
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 9383. Sachs, E. April 15, 1910, [Convention date]. Back-pedalling brake and free-wheel arrangements.-In a coaster brake attachment for the rear-wheel hubs of velocipedes, the guide-ring or cage 16 of the driving-clutch 10 is extended to engage with radially-movable brake-pieces 23, which, through rollers 26, expand a band 28 into engagement with a hub flange 22, and by reaction are themselves forced inwards to bear upon the hub portion 20 or to compress a split brake ring thereon. The driving - ring 13, screwed upon the hub, may be smooth or grooved to engage the rollers 10, and it is flanged at 15, 17 to enclose the clutch and guide the sprocket-wheel. The brake ring or rings are anchored to a fixed disk 18. The arrangements may be modified so that the brake pieces are upon the outside and the rollers 26 on the inside. On wheeling the machine backwards, the friction between the guide-ring and disk 18 holds the driving-clutch out of action.

Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 12,305. Mills, C. R., [Bradley Copper Process Co.]. May 22. Roasting; sulphatizing.-In roasting copper and other ores for the conversion of the metal into a soluble form, the ore is continuously advanced through posit i o n s of successively higher temperatures until the soluble salt is formed, when the mass is withdrawn so as to transfer its heat to the incoming ore. The ore is fed from a hopper 10, by means of a worm 15 in a duct 12, into one end of a rotating cylinder divided into a series of transverse compartments. These compartments are alternately connected by passages which extend through the intermediate compartments. An air duct 19 surrounds the duct 12. The ore together with air passes to the other end of the cylinder through the compartments connected by passages 48, and the products return through the alternate compartments and the passages 49 to discharge openings 40. The cylinder is heated by a burner placed at the end remote from the entry of the ore, the hot gases passing through a central flue 64. Fuel may be mixed with the ore, and the compartments are fitted with staggered baffles to agitate the charge. The maximum temperature preferred for making copper sulphate is about 550‹ C.

Title: An Improved Electrical Circuit Breaker.
IPC: H01H71/68
Filed: 1911-06-26
Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 14,812. Veritys, Ltd., and Hirsch, P. A. June 26. Automatic c i r c u i tbreakers; electro - magnetic switches. - The main circuit-closing contacts d, e are carried by the movable core g of an electro-magnet j in a shunt circuit, which is closed by a hand switch u<2>. The main circuit having been completed, a maintaining-circuit is established for the electro - magnet j, which allows the switch w<2> to be opened. Excessivecurrent through the main circuit overload coils u draws up a magnetic sleeve r between the core g and the pole-pieces j<2> of the electro-magnet j, and shunts away the magnetic field, thus causing the core to drop and the main switch to open. The overload response may be retarded by a dash-pot. The opening can also be effected by raising the sleeve by hand, or by opening a hand-switch w<3> in the maintaining circuit. To economize current a resistance z<2> is put into the magnet circuit when the switch closes.

Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 17,273. Houdaille, C. F. M. July 28. Dash-pots. - Relates to motor-actuated breeches for heavy guns, and consists in an hydraulic brake which is combined with the transmission gearing of the motor so as to offer additional resistance to the motor (electric, hydraulic, or compressed - air), and thereby to avoid shocks, at the termination of the opening and closing movements and at intermediate phases of the opening and closing movements. The motor 19 is geared to the breechactuating shaft 18 by gear-wheels 20, 21, a shaft 3, and wheels 16, 17. Upon a screwed prolongation of the shaft 3, an hydraulic cylinder 1 is placed, and a piston 8 is traversed along the cylinder by the screw 7. At the ends of the piston stroke, and at intermediate points 11, the flow of liquid past the piston is restricted by projecting parts of a valve-key 9, and the motor 19 is slowed down. A replenishing- reservoir 4 is connected with the cylinder 1 by a port 13 and ball valve 14.

Abstract: 2808. Mallins, C. W. Feb, 3. Steps ; ingress and egress of passengers, controlling.-A double-deck tramcar has a platform at each end provided with separate exit and entrance on the near side and with ascending and descending stairways communicating with the upper deck, a barrier being also provided to each platform to separate the exit and entrance passages. A barrier or danger signal may be provided to deter passengers from entering when the car is in motion or about to start. Fig. 3 shows the arrangement of platform. The ascending stairway F and descending stairway E are both right - handed spirals so that passengers using them always face the front end of the car. The division barrier H extends from the descending stairway E to the entrance to the car body. The central part of the upper deck is enclosed and its end platforms may either be left open or completely enclosed. Fig. 7 shows an obstructing barrier adapted to be turned across the entrance. A spring o<9> connected by a cord to a pulley o<2> normally keeps the barrier in a non-obstructing position. When the conductor signals the driver to proceed, a. cord o' is pulled and the barrier is turned into the position shown. When the car is in motion, a generator o' energizes a solenoid o<6>, which acts through a lever o<5> and automatically turns the barrier into an obstructing position if not already turned, and holds it in that position until the car has almost stopped. The arms o are elastically mounted by means of coiled springs on sleeves o<1> carrying the pulleys o<2>.
