Patent GB-191128979-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Brake Apparatus for Railway Vehicles and the like.
Inventor: O'DONNELL JOHN PATRICK
IPC: B61H15/00
Filed: 1911-12-22
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 28,979. O'Donnell, J. P., [Curtis, J. N., and Sampson, E. D.]. Dec. 22. [Addition to 29,600/10.] Compensating for wear; force-transmitting mechanism.-In means for taking up slack in the brake rigging of railway vehicles &c. as described in the parent Specification in which a pair of stepped or toothed cams carried by two contiguous parts of the rigging each engage a detent mounted on the part that carries the other, one of the cams, instead of being carried by an arm mounted on the brake power shaft, is carried by a lever not in connexion with the power shaft, and both cams may, in some cases, be mounted on the lever, one of the detents being then fixed to the vehicle frame. Fig. 1 shows the toothed cams 1, 2 applied to the levers 4 and pull-rods 7 of Westinghouse doublepiston brake apparatus. The cam 1 is pivoted to the lever 4 and engages a detent 24 on the pull-rod 7, which carries a cam 2 engaging a detent 25 on the lever 4. When sufficient slack occurs, the detent 25 takes up a tooth on the cam 2 during application of the brakes, and the detent 24 takes up a tooth in the cam 1 during the return movement. The apparatus is also shown applied to a single-piston brake rigging, in which there is only one lever 4, the pull-rods 7 being attached to the lever at opposite sides of its pivot 32. Figs. 5 and 6 show the invention applied to Holden and Brooke's vacuum brake apparatus, in which the cylinder 40 and piston 41 are both movable, being supported respectively by levers 43, 42 connected by pull-rods 45, 44 to brake levers 37. Both cams 1, 2'are mounted on the pivot 38 connecting the lever 37 with the pull-rod, and the cam 1 engages a detent 24 on the pull-rod as before, whereas the cam 2 engages a detent 39 fixed to the vehicle frame. An arrangement similar to this is shown applied to a Westinghouse double-piston brake, in which the levers 37 are operated by push-rods connected to the two piston-rods. In a further form, the apparatus is shown applied to the brake levers 37 of a combined hand and vacuum brake.

Abstract: 6247. Denis, L. L. B. March 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Helical, flat-spiral, and volute springs; strip and thin-plate springs. - Consists in forming springs for connecting inner and outer rigid rims in a wheel of transversely-arranged bars with spring end-portions connected to the rims. The bars do not bend, and the elasticity is obtained by an angular distortion, there being practically no axial flexibility. In the form shown in Figs. 5 and 6, each spring, which is made of sheet metal, consists of slotted end portions e, g joined by two bar-members f, f<1>. Fig. 7 shows a spring with several return bends at each end, joined by a narrow strip. In Fig. 8, two flat spirals are formed at the ends of the bar. In a modification of this form, the bar is separate and secured to the central coils. Fig. 13 shows a form in which the bar terminates in the end coils. Figs. 14 and 16 show cases in which the bar lies along the axis of two helical spring portions, and perpendicularly thereto, respectively.

Abstract: 22,263. Boesch, J. E. W., and Nesbitt, G. E. Sept. 30. Couplings, disconnectible. - In a hose coupling of the type described in Specification 3009/11, in which the members are so constructed that by the act of pressing them together the hose is coupled, a device consisting of a spring-pressed ball, is provided for holding the locking members in the position ready for engagement. Each side of both members is provided with corresponding enlargements 3, 5, formed respectively with a pair of lugs 4, 4<a> and a single lug 6 to project between the former lugs. A bolt 10, having a recess 11 is revolubly mounted in the lugs 4, 4<a>, and a corresponding recess 7, of the shape shown, is formed in the lug 6. On coupling, the bolt 10 is set so that the recess 11 engages the projection 9, as shown in Fig. 3, thereby rotating the bolt as the members are pressed together. Finally the members are drawn together so as to compress the gaskets 22, as shown in Fig. 2, by further rotating the bolt 10 by means of handles 12 fixed on each end. The bolt is retained in the position for first engaging the projection 9 by pushing one of the handles 12 behind a spring- pressed ball 16. The ball 16 and spring 18, Fig. 7, are accommodated in a recess 17, the opening of which is reduced as shown at 19. The joint is rabbetted either to a curved or a rectangular outline as shown at 2, Fig. 2.

Abstract: 27,162. Creassey, F. Nov. 26. Bobbins and carriages.-Relates to improvements in thread-tension devices for use with bobbins and carriages and other thread carriers of twist-lace machines. The tension is effected by coil springs the spaces between the coils preventing accumulation of lint &c. In one form, the carrier 1 has a central hole 2 surrounded by a rim 4 and an annular groove 3. Mounted rotatably on the rim 4 is a disk 5 with a circumferential groove 6 in which lies a coil spring 8. The edges of the rim 4 and of the disk 5 are cut away in one place to allow thread drawn from the inside of the container to be passed partly round the disk 5 between it and the spring 8. The thread passes out through a groove 12. The tension is varied by turning the disk 5 thereby varying the length of contact between the thread and the spring 8. In a modification, the disk is mounted Eccentrically upon the rim 4 or upon a solid boss. In another arrangement, Fig. 4, a disk 17 is fixed to the carrier and is provided with a spring 18, one end of which is fixed while the other is attached to a slide 19, which can be moved around the disk to vary the tension and is secured by a wedge 20. In another modification, Fig. 6, a spring 26 is passed along a straight grooved piece 27, one end being attached at 28 to the carrier, the other being attached to a roller 30 which can be turned to wind on the spring and vary the tension.
