Abstract: 3246. Grayson, R. E. Feb. 7. Vacuum apparatus. - Apparatus for raising water &c. by means of atmospheric pressure comprises a vacuum chamber A at least thirty-five feet above the level of the water to be raised, and a reciprocating pump body B immersed at its lower end in the water and connected at the upper end to the chamber A. The pump body has telescopic tubes or collapsible tubes D, E near the top and bottom to enable it to move up and down, and has a non - return valve D<1> at the bottom and a valve E<1> at the top controlling communication between the pump body and the chamber A. The pump body is partly balanced by weights W and partly by a vessel l adapted to slide up and down. A vessel L provided with valves M and a vessel F communicating with the pump body and provided with valves G are attached to the pump body. Assuming that the vessel l is at its highest position, the body B at the lowest position, and the valve E<1> open, the vessel l is filled with water, so that it sinks and raises the body B, during which movement more water is forced into the body B by atmospheric pressure. At the end of the movement, the valve E<1> is automatically closed, and the valves K in the vessel are opened, so that the water flows into the shoot N; consequently the pump body begins to descend, and water passes cut through the valves G into the vessel L. At the end of its descent, the valves M are opened, and water passes into the vessel l, which then begins to descend, and thus starts a new cycle of operations.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Actuation of Pumps or Compressors by the Motion of Railway or like Vehicles.
Inventor: MARTIN MATHIAS
IPC: B61L11/06
Filed: 1914-04-18
Granted: 1915-05-13
Abstract: 9664. Martin, M. April 18. Actuating by weights.-Relates to that kind of apparatus which, situated in a railway track, is operated by passing vehicles so as to pump or compress fluid into a suitable storage vessel, the fluid being air or a liquid such as water. The apparatus may be put into or out of operation by the passing train, and when in operation serves to retard the motion of the train. The application to the retarding or braking of driverless vehicles is also mentioned. The apparatus is shown in plan in Fig. 1 and in longitudinal and cross sections in Figs. 2 and 3 respectively. Contact levers 1 are arranged alongside the rails 3, the levers being pivoted to holders 2. The levers are supported by cross-rods 4 attached to the compressor pistons and retained in an elevated position by springs 12. The springs also bear upon the compressor cylinders 8, which are provided with air inlets and air outlets having suitable valves. The outlets discharge into a reservoir common to the cylinders. The contact levers being depressed by the passing vehicles and causing a depression of the compressor pistons, a pumping into the common reservoir results, the levers after depression being raised by the springs. To render the contact levers inoperative when braking is not to be applied to a train, as for example when running up an incline or running out of a station, the contact levers through their support by the holders 2 are removed laterally from the path of the train wheels by means of links and toggle levers which are connected at 25 to a cable 18 normally tensioned by springs 28. On the cable being pulled, the toggle levers are bent and the holders 2 with their contact levers 1 removed from the path of the wheels. The cable may be pulled automatically by arms 19 on the train striking rollers 21 which depress rods 22 to which, through a cross-bar, the cable is connected. Each rod 22 is under the action of a spring 26 and is provided with a projection 29 adapted to co-operate with a spring latch 23. This latch is connected to a rod 24 also provided with a cross-bar and rollers, so that, on the train leaving the section where the contact levers are situated, the striking-arm on the train releases the spring latch, and the contact levers assume their operative positions.

Abstract: 15,197. Steiner, A. Oct. 18, 1913, [Convention date]. Relay actions.-In mechanical relay actions in which a key-controlled operating-device is provided for each type-lever or other type-member, each of the operating-devices is driven by a separate source of power, such as a spring, the arrangement permitting independent adjustment of the type-levers for impression. In the action shown, each operating-lever c for the type-levers a is connected to a spring q and is provided with a cam n adapted to engage a constantly rotating roller k common to all the cams, the lever being normally held down, with the spring in tension and the cam clear of the roller, by a key-lever d. The roller may be coated with rubber. The cam is pivoted at o between cheeks on the lever, and is recessed at n<1> so as to cause the cam to tend to overbalance in the direction shown, overbalancing being prevented by the engagement of a pin p<1> on the cam with a finger p. On striking the key-lever, the lever c is released and is lifted by the spring, the cam being released from the finger p and brought into engagement with the roller k. The cam is then rotated in the direction of the arrow and the spring lifts the lever c and causes the type-lever to swing upwards for impression. In the further rotation of the cam, the lever c is turned downwards until it is caught by the key-lever, this being lifted by a spring i. The spring q is thus tensioned and the type-lever withdrawn. The springs q are individually adjustable to adjust the type-members for impression, by means of screws r mounted in a bar s. Adjustment may also be effected by altering the shapes of the cams and the roller. For manifolding, the springs can be adjusted simultaneously by raising or lowering the bar s, this being preferably mounted in rotatable end-disks t which can be locked in adjusted position by a spring-pin entering holes t<3>. The bar may be associated with a scale showing the number of copies to be printed. In a modification, the roller k is arranged under the levers c and these are formed in two pivoted parts connected by the driving-springs.
