Abstract: 11,724. King, M. P. T. May 18. Gauge glasses.- Guards, of the type in which three or more thick plates of glass which completely surround the gauge glass are mounted in a frame which is adapted to be readily applied or removed, are provided with an auxiliary inner guard, the whole being made readily removable. In the form illustrated, triangular plates a, grooved to receive thick glass plates e, are mounted upon collars or extensions b on the gland nuts of the gauge glass. The inner guard is in the form of a cage comprising metal rods f inserted through holes in the upper plate and screwed into holes in the lower plate. To permit the ready removal of the combined guard, the plates are made in halves hinged together, as at g, and temporarily connected at the opposite side by means of a pivot bolt hand nut i. They are preferably connected by long brass bolts k. The glass plate adjacent to the hinge is preferably made in two pieces. Ventilation holes may be provided in the plates to prevent steaming of the glass. Three modifications are described showing alternative methods of dividing and hinging the plates. They may, however, be provided with removable sliding pieces l, in which case one of the glass plates has to be taken out before the guard can be applied or removed.

Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 5431. Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co., Remington, A. A., and Pitt, J. D. March 4. Spray carburettors, in which petrol or paraffin may be used alternatively, and in which the paraffin mixture is'heated, are provided with a common mixing-chamber for the two fuels, and with a valve by means of which the mixture may be sent (1) through a heated passage or (2) direct to the engine. Petrol or paraffin may be supplied through a cock C to a float chamber A, which supplies the nozzle D through a valvecontrolled passage a. A valve G, when in the position shown, compels the petrol mixture from the chamber E to pass direct to the chamber H and thence to the engine. When paraffin is used, the valve G is drawn back to the position shown in dotted lines, and the mixture now has to pass through an exhaust-heated coil K. Primary air is admitted by a valve E', and supplementary air by a valve j<2>. In a modification, two float chambers and two nozzles are used, and the movement of the valve G serves to cut off the fuel that it is not intended to use. The valve G may be connected to the cock C for the same purpose.

Abstract: 25,620. Murdoch, W. Nov. 4. Slipping of wheels, preventing. - In a non- skid device for motor and other road vehicles, of the kind having an auxiliary wheel which tilts when side-slip occurs to grip the road, the pivoted frame carrying the wheel has a member which engages teeth on a vertical guide, when the frame tilts, so as to assist in pressing the wheel on to the road. Means are provided for raising the device out of operation. The auxiliary wheel a having two rubber or like tyres 1 and two steel tyres 2 is mounted in a frame b which is pivoted in blocks e capable of sliding between vertical guides l in a frame c secured to steel stays p. The guides l are convex inside and concave outside and their outer edges are formed with teeth i. Cross-members fare secured to the pivots of the frame b and are constrained to tilt with the frame by pins h. As the frame b tilts the inner edges of sockets g on the cross-member engage the teeth i and prevent upward vertical movement of the frame b. The sockets g are formed to receive the hooked ends of rods j which form cores for springs 4 for pressing the wheel a against the ground. Springs are also placed around rods k formed integral with the blocks e. In a modification, the wheel is pressed down by laminated springs screwed to the rods k. Secured to the rods k is a longitudinal stay the ends of which are connected by slotted links to levers pivoted in a frame secured to the stays p. These levers enable the blocks e to be raised when the device is not required for use. The stays p may be secured to the axle clips of the vehicle.

Abstract: 3877. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Wedmore, E. B. Feb. 15. Automatic circuit - breakers; oil switches.- Relates to switch-operating mechanism of the kind described in Specification 24,236/05, in which bridging - contacts are raised by a toggle which is straightened by a horizontally movable link having a trip connexion with the operating handle. The invention consists in mounting one or more contact-raising toggles o, n directly upon the switch cover d, and connecting them to a bridging-piece or cross-head p, which carries the contact rods e and is provided with guiding-means such as are described in Specification 1277/07, and consisting of a roller r engaging a vertical surface q to resist the sidelong pull and guide the contact-rods e in a straight line. The trip connexion m in the horizontally movable link k, l may be of the kind described in Specification 11,707/10. To close the switch, the handle h is moved from the position shown over 180 degrees, the movement taking place in two steps.
