Title: Improvements in Vapor Lamps.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1908-09-19
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 19,719. Fairweather, W., [Landers, Frary, & Clark]. Sept. 19. Vapour lamps. - The wick tube, Fig. 3, of a vapour lamp is closed at the upper end and the vapour issues from jets in the top of a ring chamber 33 which communicates. with the wick tube by apertures 32. The upper part 39 of the wick tube has a section in the form of a hexagon with concave sides, the angles of the hexagon being close to a shutter 9, Fig. 2, so t h a the vapour from each jet of the ring 33 rises in a separate space within the shutter. The shutter 9 carries a rack engaging a pinion on a shaft 17 so that it can be moved up or down ; it is guided by the end flanges of an exterior tube 8 forming the mouthpiece of the font A. The tube 8 has insets for guiding the rack and a hole to take the pinion. The central part of the wick is encircled by metallic gauze 37 and the central part of the wick tube is expanded to form an annular space 35 round the gauze. To start the lamp, some of the liquid in the font A is withdrawn by a small pump 12, which forms the screw stopper of the filling-aperture, and is ejected into a priming-groove 10 and ignited. Vapour is formed in the head of the wick tube, dislodging the liquid therefrom into the space 35, and passes up out of the jet ring and burns at the edge of the shutter. The flame is extinguished by raising the shutter against the bevel 31. The wick tube is removably mounted in a holder 26 seated on two ridges 25 on the bottom of the font, a split spring ring being arranged in a groove in the holder so as to snap over a bead 30, Fig. 3, when the wick tube is pressed in.

Abstract: 25,185. Henrichsen, J., and Hemming- sen, C. J. May 23, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Diaphragm valves; lift valves; actuating valves and cocks.-In a suction milking - machine, valves are arranged on the teat cup to cut off automatically the suction when the milk ceases to flow. A diaphragm, piston, &c. h under the action of its own elasticity or of a spring closes the pipe c leading to the teat - cup. A small aperture k through or past the diaphragm by which the vacuum is communicated to the teat-cup is obstructed by the passage of the milk so that the pressure in the teatcup rises and holds the diaphragm down from the mouth of the pipe c. The action is started by a hand-operated lift valve d actuated by a lever or button and closed by a spring, such as g. A perforated guard n limits the movement of the diaphragm h and in addition a valve o, resting upon the diaphragm, may be provided to close the passage c if the diaphragm is excessively dilated or broken.

Title: Method of and Means for Protecting Metallic Articles Embedded in the Ground from Stray Earth Currents.
Inventor: GEPPERT HERMANN
IPC: B60M5/00
Filed: 1909-02-22
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 4353. Geppert, H. Feb. 22. Protective arrangements.-Metallic articles, such as pipes, cables, &c., embedded in the ground near live conductors, are protected from earth currents by connecting them to the negative pole of an auxiliary source and embedding anodes connected to the same source. A pipe b is shown connected to the negative pole of a source f, and various conductors d, preferably interchangeable and made of carbon, nickel, platinum, gold, &c., are connected to the positive pole of the source f. A current thus flows through the earth to the pipe b, and prevents electrolysis by any leakage current from the tram rails a. Resistance may be included in the protective circuit, and its electromotive force may be supplied by the source i in the main circuit, instead of by the source f. The anodes d may be surrounded with damp clay or earth saturated with brine. If the conductor e is not insulated, it may serve as an anode ; if it is insulated and sheathed, the sheath may be connected to the negative pole of the source f. This system may be employed to protect iron standards.

Title: Fluid Pressure Brakes.
Inventor: KARL ULRICH
IPC: B60T15/04
Filed: 1909-07-09
Abstract: 16,047. Ulrich, K. July 9, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Fluid-pressure; indicators, applications oj.- In fluid-pressure brakes, a device is provided for indicating to the driver the position of the anglecock at the rear of the engine, and in doubleheading for ensuring that the driver's valve on the second engine is cut out. A valve casing 11, Figs. 1 and 2, is connected by pipes 15, 18 to the trainpipe 1 above the anglecocks 3, 30 at the rear and front of the engine respectively. The pipe 15 is connected to a pressure gauge 8, which is provided with a second needle indicating the pressure in the equalizing- reservoir 5. The pipe 18 is connected to a pressure gauge 29 or to a third hand in the gauge. When the rear end of the engine is con ected to the train, the pressure in the trainpipe indicated by the gauge 8 shows whether the cock 3 has been opened. Similarly, when the front end of the engine is coupled to the train, the gauge 29 indicates whether the cock 30 has been opened or not. The casing 11 contains a valve 13 connected to a piston 12. The valve chamber 20 communicates by a pipe 17 with a through port 28 in the cut-out cock 14, whereby the chamber is opened to atmosphere when the cock 14 is open. In double-heading, the air in the train-pipe passing along the pipe 18 moves the piston 12 upwards and opens the valve 13, admitting air from the pipe 15 connected to the trainpipe to the chamber 20. If the cut-out cock is not closed, the air in the chamber 20 escapes through the pipe 17 and port 28, thereby causing an application of the brakes. The gauge 8 also indicates whether the pressures in the equalizing-reservoir 5 and train-pipe are equal, and a cock 9 is provided to vent the train-pipe in case the equalizing-valve 6 is not working.

Abstract: 18,376. Riddick, R. F., Riddick, J. G., Whiteoak, J., and Stuttard, G. E., [trading as Riddick, Stuttard, & Co.], and Wilson, T. W. Aug. 10. Change-box motions.-The pattern mechanism comprises two primary pattern cylinders 2, 3 and two supplementary cylinders 4, 5, the cylinders 2, 3, 4 being mounted on one axis and working with plain cards with holes and the cylinder 5 being mounted on a separate axis and working with pegged and blank cards. The cylinders 2, 3 control the boxes through levers 8, 9 and 14, 15 which are connected in pairs in the usual manner, and a lever 10 controlled by the cylinder 2 has a catch 13 for rotating the cylinder 3. The cylinder 3 controls levers 16, 17 having catches 18, 19 for rotating the supplementary cylinders 4, 5. A lever 20 controlled by the cylinder 4 has a projecting arm 22 arranged to contact with and hold up the lever 10 if there is a blank card on the cylinder 4, so as to hold the catch 13 out of action and allow cards on the cylinder 3 to be repeated. A peg on a card on the cylinder 5 raises a lever f and through suitable mechanism withdraws an operating-catch 11 on the lever 8 from the catchwheel of the cylinder 2 to stop this cylinder and allow the cylinder 3 to remain in action; a blank card on the cylinder 5 causes the cylinder 2 to be rotated. A saving of certain parts of the repeat cards on one or other of the cylinders 2, 3 is effected by attaching a projecting arm 24 to the lever 17 to overhang the lever 10, so as to arrest the effective action of the lever 17 when the lever 10 is raised. The blank cards and the pegged cards of the cylinder 5 indicate the repeats of the cards on the cylinders 2, 3 respectively.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Controlling the Speed of Electric Motors.
IPC: H02P7/06
Filed: 1910-04-16
Granted: 1911-04-18
Abstract: 9278. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. April 16. Systems for controlling by varying resistance in armature circuit.-Electric motors controlled by varying the resistance in the armature circuit are brought up to, and maintained at, a constant speed by means of differential gearing. A casing 5 journals within itself the shaft 6 of the motor to be controlled, and a shaft 7 which is driven at a predetermined speed by means of a shunt motor 4 and reduction gearing 16, 15. The shafts carry bevel-pinions 9, 10 of equal size, which are driven in opposite directions by the shafts and geared together by pinions 11, 12, which rotate on trunnions 14 fixed to the casing. In starting, the shunt motor is brought up to speed. The lag of the shaft 6 behind the shaft 7 causes a rotation of the casing 5, which is transmitted by gearing 28, 27 and a clutch 25 to a screwed spindle 20. A non-rotatable brush 17 engaged by the spindle is thus moved over contacts 21, 22 to cut out the armature resistance. Conversely, excess speed of the shaft 6 over that of the shaft 7, as, for example, when load is suddenly removed, causes the re - insertion of such of the resistance as will equalize the speed of the two shafts.

Title: Improvements in Liquid Hydro-carbon Engines.
Inventor: GRIFFIN SAMUEL
Filed: 1911-04-19
Granted: 1912-04-19
Abstract: 9498. Griffin, S.' April 19. [Cognate Application, 15,912/11.] Vaporizers, external. - Liquid hydrocarbon under pressure is sprayed by air into the exhaust-heated vessel A, the pressure in which acts on a piston N in a cylinder 0 and operates the needle-valves W, W<1> controlling the supply of air and hydrocarbon, respectively. The vapour is introduced under this pressure into the engine cylinder. The needle-valves may be separately adjusted by quadrant levers, and the tension of the spring controlling the motion of the piston N can be adjusted. In a modification, the regulator 0 acts upon a throttle valve in the intake of the air-compressor, which is connected on its pressure side to the hydrocarbon reservoir, from which pipes, one above the level of the liquid and the other below, separately convey spraying-air and fuel to the vaporizer. Impurities are removed from the vaporizer either by the pressure or by a mechanical scraper.
