Title: Improvements in Roundabouts and like Apparatus.
Inventor: ROBINSON MOSES
IPC: A63G1/28
Filed: 1910-02-12
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 3458. Robinson, M., and Dale, J. Feb. 12. Roundabouts.-Relates to roundabouts &c. of the type comprising a number of vehicles, such as air-ships or aeroplanes, suspended on arms rotatable about a central shaft and consists in providing means for automatically raising and lowering the arms intermittently and so permitting the vehicles to continue to revolve at any desired height for any desired time before being lowered. The pivoted arms are connected through a spider l to a central shaft or pillar m, the lower end of which is forked and formed as a nut adapted to engage a screw r on a revoluble gear-box b. The gear-box is carried by a shaft v, and is rotated by a track wheel 4 driven from an engine. The screw is turned in one direction or another by a bevel-wheel s and pinions t, u, one or other of which is clutched to the shaft v by a clutch w operated through a rod x by a face cam on a ratchetwheel 2. The ratchet-wheel 2 may be rotated in any convenient manner, for example, by a fixed pawl adapted to engage the wheel once in each revolution of the gear-box b. The cam is so shaped that a pause occurs at the upper and lower limits of movement of the nut p. The shaft v is rotated by a bevel pinion b, which is in mesh with a fixed rack e, when the track wheel 4 runs on an inner rail d as shown. Points are provided operated by a hand-lever so that the wheel 4 can be turned on to an outer track c to carry the wheel 3 out of engagement with the rack. This suspends the rotation of the shaft v and consequent rise or fall of the arms. In this case, the action of the ratchet-wheel 2 is preferably dependent upon the pinion 3, so that the rising or falling of the arms may be continued from the point where it was left off when the wheel 4 is again run on to the inner rail.

Granted: 1911-06-09
Abstract: 13,954. Jarvis, H. W. June 9. Pumps for liquids containing solids in suspension; regulating delivery of two combined pumps.- A lubricating - pump for supplying semi - liquids, such as a mixture of oil and graphite, is provided with means for stirring the lubricant in the outlet pipe and in the reservoir. The pump plunger a, Fig, 1, is formed with a rack b, which engages a toothed wheel operating a mechanical stirrer in the reservoir g. A helical wire stirrer or conveyer j in the outlet pipe z is fixed to a rod i, which is formed with screw-threads of rapid pitch and is rotated by a nut 12 operated by a fork h on the plunger a. A pawl engaging ratchet-teeth on the nut 12 prevents the nut from rotating on the forward stroke of the plunger and allows it to rotate on the return stroke, and a similar pawl and ratchet-wheel 13 prevent the rod i from rotating on the return stroke. In a modification the wire j is fixed to the nut 12, which is suitably extended, instead of to the rod i, or the rod may be rotated by bevel-gearing from the shaft by which the plunger is reciprocated. The pump inlet is by way of the passage containing the rod that operates the stirrer in the reservoir, and the rod may also carry the suction valve of the pump. A valve f allows part of the liquid pumped to return to the reservoir to assist in stirring the lubricant therein. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the lubricant in the reservoir g is agitated by forcing a portion of the lubricant back to the reservoir through a groove 8 in the suction valve 5. A sliding bucket 1 is engaged by a collar 4 on a rod 14, which screws into the plunger 2, and is adjusted to vary the effective stroke of the pump by turning a sleeve 15 formed with a square hole into which the end of the rod 14 fits. During the latter part of the suction stroke of the plunger 2, the collar 4 draws the bucket 1 to the right. On the forcing-stroke, the plunger first delivers oil through the bucket 1 and the delivery valve 6 to the outlet pipe z, after which the reduced end of the plunger comes into contact with the bucket 1 and closes the opening through it, the oil then being forced from the chamber 21 through the groove 8 to the reservoir g.
