Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Controlling the Speed of Railway Trains and the like.
Inventor: LEAN CLEMENT
Filed: 1907-11-16
Granted: 1908-11-16
Abstract: 25,452. Lean, C. Nov. 16. Brakes.-In order to apply the brakes if the speed at any point exceeds the maximum allowable at that part of the track, speed - responsive means on the engine are made to coact with apparatus on the track to actuate speedcontrolling means on the engine. The apparatus employed may be mechanical, pneumatic, or electric ; the speed - responsive means is preferably a centrifugal governor. In one modification, the governor may close a circuit from a track conductor to operate speedcontrolling means. In the modification shown in Fig. 1, the governor moves a pivoted pipe 2, which is connected to the brake pipe and is fitted with a frangible piece 21 so as to bring the piece 21 into position to engage fixed brackets 3 on the track ; these brackets are fitted at different distances from the track rail according to the maximum speed allowable at the point at which they are placed, and their position may be controlled from the signal cabin. If the speed exceeds the given maximum, the tube 21 meets the bracket 3 and is broken, thus applying the brakes. As an alternative, there may be different sets of apparatus on the engine, set for different speeds. The centrifugal governor shown consists of a bracket 4 supporting a hollow shaft 5 in ball-bearings, said shaft carrying a chain-wheel 9 and a casing 8, to which the levers 10 with the balls 11 are pivoted. The forked ends of the levers 10 engage a collar 14 on the spindle carrying an adjustable bush 16, which is acted upon by the compression spring 15 abutting against the end of the hollow shaft 5. By means of the thrust ball-bearing 17 and the link 25, the pipe 2 is made to swing about its pivot in the bracket 19. The frangible pipe 21 may be directly connected to the sliding collar of the governor. The governor may be driven directly from the axle of an uncoupled wheel or through a chain as described above.

Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 26,433. Hedley, r. Dec. 10, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Collisions, lessening effects of ; breakdowns, preventing accidents through ; buffers.-For preventing telescoping of street or railway cars in the event of a collision or other accident, the ends of the cars are fitted with transverse horizontal plates C which are formed with longitudinal ribs or projections F, the arrangement being such that, under normal conditions, the outer faces H of the ribs of adjacent cars are in contact and allow free lateral and vertical play of the cars. In the case of a collision, the ribs become interlocked and thereby prevent such relative vertical movement of the cars as might result from the rising of the cars due to the impact, or from the breakage of the wheels, axles, or tracks, or from derailment of one of the cars, and also reduce the possibility of one of the cars tilting sidewise, thereby maintaining the alinement of the longitudinal sills which take up the shock of the collision. The ribs are preferably tapered, as shown in Fig. 4, and are secured by bolts J. They may extend the entire length of the plate, or may be broken as shown at F<1>, F<2>, Figs. 5 and 6. In the case of freight or other cars which are not provided with end platforms, the plates C may be attached to or may replace the usual bumpers.

Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 17,349. Lepel, E. von. Aug. 20, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Wireless telegraphy.-The electrodes of a discharge gap for use in the production of electric oscillations have an active area which is large in comparison with the distance between the electrodes. The electrodes may consist of two flat plates A, B, Fig. 1, set very close together, or of two co-axial cylinders or cones A, B, Fig. 2. It is preferred that, if the dielectric is liquid or solid, for example, a paper sheet C, it should leave only the central portions of the electrodes uncovered, so that, in use, the discharge will burn away or dissipate the dielectric from the centre outwards, and will thus travel over and use the whole surface of the electrodes. More power may be drawn from the working circuit K<1> if another circuit K<2> of different oscillation frequency is joined in parallel with the former circuit. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), states that the dielectric between the electrodes may be amyl alcohol, varnish, or rubber ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
