Title: An Improved Device applied to Vehicles and Ships for Deadening the Shocks.
Inventor: BAIN AUGUSTE
Filed: 1906-04-24
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 9639. Bain, A. April 25, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Stop-gear.-Relates to obstruction-removers and shock - deadening appliances for :road and railway vehicles and ships, by means of which, in the case of a motor road vehicle, the brakes are applied and the motors uncoupled, and in the case of ships the motors are stopped and.the propeller reversed. Buffers 2 having india-rubber &c. heads 1 are placed in front of the vehicle and move in cylinders 3 to compress air during collision. The compressed air sounds an alarm signal 7, Fig. 2, and is conveyed by flexible pipes to apply brakes to the vehicle and also to uncouple the motor. The buffer heads are connected by a bar 8, and a rod 10 may also connect the pistons 2 by means of which.the rods 12 connected to the brakes, and the uncoupling-rods 11 of the motor, are moved backwards when a collision occurs. A guard may also be used, formed of two curved frames 15, Fig. 1, carrying a number of bars or rollers 16 which turn loosely in the frames. The guard may be fixed to the vehicle or flexibly carried by rods 18, 17, when the movement of the guard may be used to displace the rods 11, 12. Fig. 5 shows the invention applied to a ship. The pistons 2 carry a roller 13, and the compressed air is used to sound a siren and to stop.the motors.

Abstract: 15,127. Boswell, S. H. July 16. [Patent of Addition to No. 8781, A.D. 1907.] Gas engines, starting. Apparatus as described in Specification No.8781,A.D.1907, for starting motor road vehicles, is provided with a buffer or stop for releasing the driving - pawl when premature ignition occurs. A modified arrange - ment of spring for returning the footlever to its original position is also described. The buffer or stop r, Fig. 1, which may be padded or provided with a dash-pot or spring, arrests the motion of the foot-lever k when premature ignition occurs, and rotates it about the pivot s until the projection t engages one end of the pivoted lever u. The other end of the lever u then acts on the pawl-rod h so that the driving-pawl i is withdrawn from the ratchet-wheel b on the engine shaft. The spring n is coiled part way round a grooved boss attached to the arm c. This arrangement permits the spring to act at a constant leverage, as the pull is tangential to the grooved boss in all positions of the arm.

Title: Valve Operating Mechanism, adapted for Servo-motors Employed to Move the Rudders of Locomotive Torpedoes.
Inventor: VARICAS CECIL JOHN
Filed: 1908-09-14
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 19,251. Varicas, C. J. Sept. 14. Compound-air engines. - Relates to mechanism of the kind in which a small initial i m - pulse brings into action a comparatively large amount of power; the mechanism is adapted to operate the distributing-valves of the compressed-air servo-motor or steering-engine controlling the steering-mechanism of locomotive torpedoes, and is especially applicable to gyroscopic steering-mechanism such as that described in Specification No. 22,296, A.D. 1894, Abridgment Class Ammunition &c.]. As applied to locomotive torpedoes, a cylinder H, Fig. 2, is provided with a piston T, ports, shown in dotted lines, communicating with the main distributing- valve, of the semi-rotary type, and an exhaust port G. A series of collars on the piston T forms a rack engaging teeth F on the spindle I of the distributing-valve. A disk D, Fig. 1, on the spindle I carries two pins Q adapted to engage a spring E ; the spindle I also carries a radial arm provided with a roller B which engages one or other of two pivoted spring - controlled detents t. Stops U prevent inward motion of the detents. The pivoted arm P, which is controlled by the gyroscope, acts upon pins 0 carried by the detents. In operation, assuming the parts to be in the position shown in Fig. 1, and that the gyroscope pulls the arm P in a clockwise direction, the right-hand detent t is oscillated outwards, the roller B and supporting-arm move in a counter-clockwise direction, thus moving the distributing - valve and admitting exhaust motive fluid from the main cylinder to the cylinder H. The piston T is thereby moved to the right, and the spindle I is further rotated thus bringing the distributing-valve into position to admit motive fluid to the opposite end of the main cylinder, and leaving the left-hand end of the cylinder H open to the exhaust passage G. The roller B comes to rest beneath the left-hand detent t.

The spindle slides in a guide having slots s for the passage of water. An operating-lever l, pivoted at m, passes through a slot k in the valve spindle, and has a weight at one end normally keeping the valve closed. The other end of the lever is depressed by the descending gasbell to admit water to the carbide. If more than one carbide chamber is employed, the slots k in the several valve spindles are of different lengths to ensure successive action of the generators.

Abstract: 26,196. Cherry Tree Machine Co., and Woolfall, T. Dec. 4. Wringing-machines.-In a foldable wringer, the cover, when in use as a table, is supported at one point by the fly-wheel, and means are provided for keeping the rollers apart when the wringer is inverted. The wringer, pivotally mounted at e, is supported in the erect position by the crossbars b<1>, b<2>, and is retained by a pivoted quadrant g which engages the spindle of a counterbalancing- roller f. The table top h, which may be made in two portions hinged together, is pivoted at j, and when laid over the inverted wringer rests at one side upon the projecting portion a<3> of one of the side frames and at the other upon the fly-wheel k. It may be secured in place by a catch l arranged to engage a recess m. To separate the rollers a modification of the invention described in Specification No. 2212, A.D. 1902, is employed, consisting of pivoted arms n formed with lateral projecting parts o adapted to be forced between the roller spindles and to maintain the rollers out of contact when the wringer is eect or inverted. The levers are actuated by cams p on the ends of the board q. According to the Provisional Specification, the catch for securing the table top comprises a recess and a bridge-bar on the cover, and a swivelling hook on one of the side frames.
