Patent GB-189710079-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Grain Elevators.
Inventor: BLANCHARD EMILE
Filed: 1897-04-22
Granted: 1897-06-12
Abstract: 10,079. Blanchard, E. April 22. Elevators, pneumatic, designed for grain. The inlet F of the apparatus communicates by pipes a and a' with closed vessels E and E<1> respectively. Outlet pipes band b<1> lead to a common outlet H. The admission and exhaustion of air in these vessels is regulated by two valves e and e<1> mounted on parallel rods g connected at their lower ends by a crosshead, from which depends a rod fitted with a piston 1 working in a steam cylinder 2. The piston-rod passes through this cylinder, and is connected to two other rods g which carry tubular valves j and j<1> regulating the admission of grain to the vessels E and E'. Similar valves k and k' govern the outlet. In the position shown, the vessel E<1>, which is, say, full of grain, has its inlet a<1> closed while the outlet b<1> is open. At the same time it is open to the pressure pipe I<1> by the passage and cylinder c', so that the grain is forced out. The vessel E, however, open to the exhaust pipe I, has its inlet a open and outlet b closed so that it fills with grain. After the lapse of a certain time, steam is admitted to the cylinder 3 and the piston 1 forced down. This closes the valves j and k<1> and opens j<1> and k; simultaneously, the vessel E' is placed to exhaust by the valve e<1>, and E to pressure by the valve e, so that now E<1> fills and E discharges. The steam is admitted to the cylinder 3 automatically by a slide valve worked by an eccentric on a shaft driven by spur gearing from the air engine. By means of differential gearing, the slide valve is reciprocated once only while the main engine makes many strokes.

Granted: 1898-05-03
Abstract: 10,981. Grant, T. May 3. Driving-mechanism.-The Figures show forms suitable for a bicycle. In Fig. 1, a ring B, mounted in ball bearings on an eccentric sheave C, secured to the rear-wheel hub, is connected by rods A to a ring D keyed on the crank axle E. The ring D carries rollers d<2> which engage a square framework carried by the rods A, and give an oscillatory motion to the rods A and ring B, thereby driving the rear wheel. In a modification shown in Fig. 2, the rollers d<2> engage notches in a frame D with a similar result. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 4, the rollers d<2> engage notches in rod A connected to the band B and secured to the frame by a link a. In this form, the momentum of the rear wheel returns the rod A to its forward position. In Fig. 5, the eccentric C is secured to the crauk axle, the rod A being secured to a rod a pivoted to the frame at a<1> and actuating a rod F having ratchet teeth which engage a pin-wheel D keyed to the driving-wheel hub.
