Title: Improvements in Motor Road Vehicles.
Inventor: SAYER ROBERT COOKE
Filed: 1908-09-12
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 19,196. Sayer, R. C. Sept. 12. Motor road vehicles.-Motor road vehicles are mounted at each end on swivelling bogies either or both of which may be driven by electromotors arranged, together with their driving-gear, to swivel with the bogie frame ; and the bogies are propelled by endless ropes, chains, or the like passing around wheels at each end of the bogie and adapted to be pressed on to the ground. The vehicle is shown in side elevation in Fig. 1, and in end elevation in Fig. 2. The body a is supported at each end by a bogie mounted in vertical bearings b. The bogie comprises a pair of side girders c, between which are mounted wheels or pulleys e, e<2> engaged by an endless rope f, which is forced on to the road surface by rollers h lowered simultaneously by screw and nut mechanism operated from the handle l<9>. When the wheels h are forced downwards, side wheels m, m<2> are raised by levers pivoted on the bogie frame and engaging at their upper ends between collars fixed on the vertical spindles which carry the rollers h. The rope f is driven by a motor o driving a hollow shaft n forming the bogie pin which carries a spur-wheel engaging a wheel q on a shaft q<2>, on which is mounted a grooved pulley t in contact with the rope. The opposite side of the rope is engaged by a second pulley u on another vertical shaft driven by spur gearing from the shaft q<2>. The grip of the pulleys may be adjusted by a screw and nut s, the two vertical shafts being mounted at their lower ends in spherical movable bearings. The pulleys t, u are thrust upwards by springs so as to keep the rope f tight when it rises from the road surface. The bogie is swivelled for steering purposes by a handle on a shaft c<6> which carries a worm engaging a worm-wheel on a vertical shaft which passes through the motor shaft n and is connected to the frame c. To give the vehicle lateral stability it is supported at each side by an endless rope f<2> passing around wheels w<2>, w<3>. The endless chain or rope is preferably constructed as described in Specification No. 1648, A.D. 1908, [Abridgment Class Mechanism &c.]. When it is desired to turn the vehicle in a small space the wheels h are raised and the bogies are turned through 90 degrees, the wheels h being then lowered and the motors started. In a modified form of vehicle the bogies are provided at each side with endless tracks f, the pairs of wheels e, e<2> being connected by shafts, one or both of which carries an electromotor.

IPC: B01D1/06
Filed: 1909-01-12
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 779. Br³cke, O. Jan. 12. Purifying oils &c. - An apparatus for refining oil and grease consists of concentric tubular columns through which an evaporating or cooling medium flows in contact with the oil &c. The liquid admitted by a tube a rises up the central column b, and, passing through apertures d, trickles down the outer side of the column. The treating- medium enters through a rose distributor g and bubbles through the liquid flowing in the same direction in the tube b ; it also enters through the tube h, and passes over the surface of the layer of liquid flowing in the opposite direction in the annulus m. The exit for the treating-medium is at i, and for the liquid at f. The directions of flow may be reversed, i.e. the liquid and treating- medium may enter the annulus first, the thin layer being in this case on the inside of the inner column. In a modification, the direct heating &c. is supplemented by a jacket upon the inner column, through which the medium flows.

Title: Improvements in Baling Presses.
Inventor: HOWARD GEOFFREY
IPC: B30B9/30
Filed: 1909-03-17
Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 6348. Howard, G., and Gibbs, G. March 17. Baling - presses. - Relates to baling-presses of the kind referred to in Specifications 10,607/97, 22,055/97, 13,881/99, and 8977/04, wherein the material is pushed continuously through the baling-chamber, and the object of the invention is to facilitate, and decrease the danger attendant on, the introduction of the grooved dividing-bars into the baling-chamber. Fig. 1 shows a sectional elevation, Fig. 4 a plan, and Figs. 5 and 5<A> a detail of the mechanism. A bar C projects at right-angles to the horizontally arranged baling- chamber, and has, slidably mounted thereon, a carrier D to which is rigidly attached one jaw E<1>, Figs. 1, 5, and 5A, of each of a number of grippers. The remaining jaw E<2>, Figs. 5 and 5<A>, of each pair of grippers, is pivoted to the jaw E'. The material is pressed forwards by an horizontal ram L, Fig. 4, moving towards the left in a well-known manner beyond retaining- projections J<2>, and, when sufficient material has been pressed, the carrier D is drawn back to its full extent, and one end of each dividing-bar G is placed in one of the grippers, the other ends of the dividing-bars resting on, and depressing, pivoted strippers H. The carrier D is then pushed forwards, that is, to the left in Fig. 1, thrusting the bars G through longitudinal slots in the sides of the baling-chamber and pushing the outer ends of the bars beyond the strippers H. On drawing back the carrier D, the strippers prevent the return of the bars, and the next stroke of the plunger pushes the bars beyond the projections J<2>. Binding-wires may then be passed along the grooves in the bars G.

Granted: 1910-10-26
Abstract: 24,592. Lecaime, C. Oct. 26. Movable-abutment type; valves, distributing and cut-off.-A reversible rotary engine comprises a casing with hinged abutments in which a drum rotates under the action of steam admitted through a hollow shaft. Either the drum or the casing may be held stationary by keys moved by screw gear, and the moving member may be clutched to a clutch crown. As shown, the casing 1 and steam chamber 22 are held fixed to the base-plate by the key 20. Steam from the hollow shaft 21 enters the chamber 22 and passes ports 23, 24 to a space 25 where it expands and drives the drum 4. Exhaust takes place through ports 25<1> in the drum to a port 27. The drum is clutched to a clutch crown 12 by a sleeve 13 moved by a lever 16. To reverse the direction of rotation, the drum 4 is fixed to the baseplate by the key 19, and the member 12 is clutched to the casing by the sleeve 14.

Abstract: 25,142. Hume, G. W. Nov. 1. Plug cocks; actuating valves and cocks.-In a gas-controller operated by clock-work, or by pressure variation in the gas mains, for lighting and extinguishing gas lamps, the valve comprises a solid conical plug i, Figs. 1, 4, 7, 8, and 9, which is cut away at j at the larger outer end, so that as it rotates one passage, to the main burners say, is uncovered before another passage, to the by-pass burner say, is covered, and the valve casing is closed in by a cap c<2> which can be removed to expose the ports and passages therein for cleaning away solid deposits. Gases leaking past the valve are discharged by the passage p, Fig. 8, to the atmosphere before reaching the actuating-mechanism. This mechanism, as shown, comprises two pairs of tappet-release pins o<2>, Fig. 1, mounted on two arms o<1> adjustable relatively to a time dial o of a clock-work; the pins operate through a weighted lever m which carries a pawl l<1> operating a ratchet-wheel l on the spindle k of the valve. The operations of opening and closing the valve each take place in two stages, the first of the two pins o<2> of either pair operating the valve so that the main and the by-pass passages are both open together for a short time, the second of the pins o<2> subsequently moving the valve so that the main passage is fully open and the by-pass passage entirely closed, or vice versa.
