Patent GB-191127688-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Automatic Cleansing Devices for Gas Generators and the like.
Inventor: HART-BAYES ROBERT JOHN
IPC: C10H21/16
Filed: 1911-12-09
Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 27,688. Bayes, R. J. Hart-. Dec. 9. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Removing sludge from generators.-A device for automatically cleansing acetylene and like generators from sludge, without loss af carbide, consists of an inverted cone f into which the carbide is distributed and which is provided with a central aperture below which is a rectangular throat i closed by hinged flaps j, k. These flaps are held in position by collars on the sludge-valve rod o, and are lowered when this valve is opened, to form a trough in which pieces of partly-decomposed carbide are returned, while the lime residue is washed away. The sludge valve p is connected by links w, v to a rod 12 carrying a counterbalanced vessel 11, which is filled with water when the gasholder bell falls, and operates the valve 8 through connexions 2, 3, 4, 7, causing water to overflow by the pipe 10. The vessel falls as it fills, thereby opening the valve p to release the sludge, and at the same time a fresh supply of water is delivered to the generator by the opening of the valve 21. Further movement of the gas-holder bell releases the catch 2, so that the supply of water stops, and the tank 11 is gradually emptied, and eventually rises, and it is at this period that carbide is delivered to the generator, preferably by the apparatus described in Specification 22,026/11. The valverod o is provided with pins u for distributing any caked solid, and overflow pipes 26, 40 from the charging tube c serve for the flushing of the sludge valve p, and the discharge outlet 28.

Title: Improved Controlling Apparatus for Cab Stands.
Inventor: DROST THEODOR
IPC: G08B7/06
Filed: 1911-12-27
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 29,102. Drost, T. Dec. 27. [Addition to 26,707/10, Class 40 (i), Electric signalling systems.] Counters actuated by electric means; counters, arrangements of.- Comprises means for giving an indication at a central station of the number of cabs at each of a number of cab - stands. In one form of the transmitting-apparatus at a cab-stand, Fig. 3, each driver on entering inserts a check i in the slide j and on leaving removes it by pushing it to the left by means of one of the pushers k, whereupon it falls through and is removed at l. The number of checks can be seen through a window. The insertion and removal of a check closes contacts p, q respectively, thereby energizing magnets P, Q, Fig. 2, of an indicator or counter at the central station, one indicator being provided for each cabstand. The armature b of the magnet P carries a pawl b<1>, which lifts a rack a one step when it is attracted, a pawl d then holding it. When the armature m of the magnet Q is attracted, the actuating-pawl b<1> is withdrawn and the detent pawl d disengaged, the rack a thereupon falling through half a step; upon retraction of the armature the rack falls through another half-step. The rack carries a pointer moving over a scale indicating the number of checks in a stand apparatus and, when it falls to the zero position, closes the contact f in an indicator or annunciator circuit. The times of departure of the cabs may be recorded by means of a circuit R<1>, R<2>, which is closed by contact of the armature m and pawl d. A magnetogenerator J is provided for sending currents over wires L<1>, L<2> to a bell at the cab-stand, and there may be coin-operated call apparatus, as described in the parent Specification, at the cab-stand. Fig. 5 shows a modified form of cab-stand apparatus. The check is inserted at o and a handle p is moved to the left, thus causing a pusher s to move the check under a hinged abutment g. On release of the handle, a spring f returns it, and a projection s<1> pushes the abutment g and check down, thus depressing a piston b and moving the arm k of a rheostat one step. At the central station an ammeter or like device is used for indicating the position of the arm k and hence the number of checks. The checks are removed by means of a pusher u.

Abstract: 8482. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. July 17, 1911, [Convention date]. Field carriages.-Relates to limber couplings of the kind in which the limber-eye fits closely around the limber hook. The invention consists in a locking-device comprising a pivoted spring catch C pivoted at D within the limber hook A, a nose c<1> of which catch projects through an opening a<1> in the hook and enters a recess b<1> in the limber-eye B. In unlimbering, the catch is withdrawn by hand into the position shown by dotted lines, and is held in that position by a strut G pivoted to the catch C. The strut is weighted so that when, in separating the parts A, B, the surface b<2> in the recess b<1> presses the catch C still further inwards, the strut tilts and permits the catch to return to the operative position, shown in full lines, ready to lock the parts when they are again limbered-up.

Printing - apparatus for rapid printing on separate sheets ; with bordering- masks. - In apparatus for printing cut sheets, an adjustable surrounding frame is provided for masking the edges of the print, and has stops for positioning successive sheets of paper, and the casing is divided into two compartments containing the printing-lamps and a safety light respectively, which are alternately switched on and off as the pressure platen is raised and lowered. The masking-frame consists of a stationary part D, Figs. 1 and 3, with graduated arms D', D<2>, and two separately adjustable slides E, E<1> These are adjusted by yielding arms E4, E<11>, respectively, which spring into notches in the graduated index plates E<5>, E<10>. The plate D is of yielding material and is raised by an eccentric or cam D<8> to slip the negative film L, Fig. 5, under the edges. A sheet of celluloid K is placed over the edges of the slides E, E<1> to prevent them from catching the edge of the film L or printing-paper M during adjustment. The paper is adjusted in position by means of projections D<3>, D<4>, D<5>, D<6>, on the part D. In the casing A, the partition A<2>, Fig. 2, separating the printing-lamps F<1> from the safety lamp F is fitted with a ruby screen A<3>. In open position, the hinged part C<4>, Fig. 7, of the platen is held raised by the spring J and a sliding bar G<6> is held in its raised position by a catch G<25>. In this position, an insulated contact G<14> bridges the terminals G<2>, G<3> and puts the safety lamp F into circuit. To make a print, the handle H<3> on the platen C<4> is depressed and first releases the catch G<25> from the bar G<6>; the spring I lowers the bar against the action of the weaker spring G<15> which tends to raise the bar; a trip catch H<4> on the handle H<3>, Figs. 1 and 7, then engages under the latch H<1> to hold the handle and pressure platen down, and simultaneously the contact G<14> bridges the terminals G, G' to switch in the printing-lamps F<1>. On releasing the catch H<4>, the platen is raised by the spring J and the bar G<6> is raised by the spring G<15>.
