Title: Improvements in and relating to Photographic Magazines and Change-boxes.
IPC: G03B17/34
Filed: 1910-06-22
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 15,050. Optische Anstalt C. P. Goerz Akt.-Ges. July 23,1909, [Convention date]. Change-boxes, self-contained; magazine refills. -In change-boxes with two relativelyslidable members, one of which has catches for engaging the plates or carriers, the catches are arranged to engage the front ends of the plates during withdrawal, and the shutter slide is fitted with means for disengaging the catches from the plates. The plates 1 are held in carriers or sheaths 2 of light-proof material, which have retaining perforated lugs 10 of dovetail shape, and also bosses 3 on the edges of the carriers which keep the plates spaced. The edge 4 is thickened and notched for the catches. The plates are contained in a package comprising two sliding parts 5, 7. The outer part 7 is fitted with catches 17 and with upturned springs 8, which lock the plate on to the catches on withdrawal. The shutter slide 6 slides between the parts 5, 7, and, when inserted, releases and separates the catches 17 from the plates. The package slides into the change-box through the door 16. The spring 21 on the change-slide 13 of the change-box engages the outer part 7 of the package, while the part 5 is retained in the box by the bar 15. The dovetailed lugs 10 are held back by springs 9, and are gripped by a metal clamp 11 inserted between the springs 9. On operating the change-slide, the top-plate is torn away from the lug 10, and the spring 8 locks the plate to the catch. On reinserting the slide when the further end of the plate drops to the bottom of the part 5, the curved springs 18 fitted to the catches 17 depress the end of the plate, thereby releasing it from the catches 17.

Granted: 1912-10-18
Abstract: 18,665. Marks, E. C. R., [Middleton, F. L.]. Aug. 18. Starting.-A multicylinder engine is started in either direction by compressed air admitted through one of two sets of valves operated by the same set of cams. Air is admitted to the passages a, a' for starting ahead or astern respectively, and passes to valves e normally held open by springs g but adapted to be closed by air pressure and opened by cams k ... o, Fig. 2. The cams are moved laterally by means operated by the movement of the engine and are of different widths, as shown, so that as the speed of the engine increases, the supply of air is cut off from the cylinders one by one or in groups. The air on the way to the cylinder may operate means for cutting - off the fuel supply. In one construction, the air moves a piston, of which the rod closes a valve in the fuel pipe.

Granted: 1912-12-17
Abstract: 22,912. Aspinall, F. B. Oct. 17. Engines working on special systems or cycles. -A method of working with steam, stated to be applicable also to air and other fluids, consists in using superheated steam with admission during the whole or nearly the whole stroke, the fluid being at a large volume per unit of weight. The steam may be used in a closed cycle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, steam is superheated in a superheater 4, loss by leakage being supplied by a boiler 1, or otherwise. The steam from the superheater passes through the engine 9 and then through the jacket 11 of the pipe leading to the superheater. The steam passes from the jacket 11 to the cooler 15<b>, which cools the steam to the saturated state. The steam is then compressed in the compressor 19 to the admission pressure of the steam-engine, and forced back into the superheater. At starting, the water in the cooler 15<b> may be heated by steam admitted by a cock 14. Governing may be effected by regulating the temperature in the cooler, thus altering the back pressure, or by regulating the amount of steam in circulation in the system.

Abstract: 23,342. Watson, T. A. Oct. 23. Piles; piles, driving. - Hollow preparatory piles are driven by means of a monkey suspended freely within and guided solely by the pile. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the monkey C, which is provided with longitudinal ribs C', drops upon a detached point B, a collar B<1> of which engages with a collar A<1> on the pile. A tool may be inserted in the opening B<2> of the shoe for the purpose of withdrawing it. Earth is excluded by the overturned edge A<2>, or, in the form shown in Fig. 5, by allowing the vertical portion of the point to extend beyond the bottom of the pile. Vent-holes D, D<1> may be provided in the shoe. Fig. 3 shows a pile constructed of inner and outer tubes, the inner tube, forming the monkey, being constructed of longitudinal sections E connected by means of flanges E<1> and bolts E<2>. Additional lengths may be built up by employing an internal sleeve E<3> gripped by the bolting together of upper and lower sections, or secured by bolts &c. The Provisional Specification also states that the inner tube may be replaced by a solid bar rigidly or detachably connected to the pointed shoe.

Inventor: ALLISON GEORGE HERBERT
IPC: B61G3/16
Filed: 1911-10-31
Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 24,167. Allison, G. H. Oct. 31. Couplings, automatic. - Knuckles b fixed upon vertical spindles within coupling-heads of the kind described in Specification 1108/10 are formed each with a projection f adapted as the knuckle swings into the coupled position to coact with an inclined or camsurface g on the coupling-head and to drop behind a locking- stop h formed at the end of the surface. The knuckle is unlocked for uncoupling by lifting the spindle c by an arm m on a shaft j operated by chains or the like attached to an arm k which is maintained in normal position by a weight or spring. In order that both knuckles may be raised when one spindle c is lifted, the nose d on each knuckle engages a recess n in the other knuckle in the coupled position: To prevent accidental uncoupling by jerks, an arm o carried by each lever k normally lies immediately over the projection f. The arms m are each provided with fingers p, q so that when two vehicles come together, the fingers p on each coupling-head fits under the finger q on the other coupling-head, and the operation of either arm k causes the other arm k to be operated. The holes y for the spindles c are made larger than the spindles, so that these are relieved of the tractive strain, which is taken by the coupling- head at z, Fig 1. Couplings, auctomatic, convertible to non-automatic. - An ordinary coupling-link s, Figs. 2 and 3, may be carried by the knuckle tail for coupling to vehicles with non-automatic hooks only.
