Patent GB-191208863-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Compressing Air or other Gas.
Inventor: STOKES FREDERICK WILFRID SCOTT
IPC: F04B39/08
Filed: 1912-04-15
Granted: 1913-03-06
Abstract: 8863. Stokes, F. W. S. April 15. Compressing - plant, general arrangement of; valves, arrangement and actuation of.-Aircompressors in which the cylinder is supplied successively with gas at two or more pressures are provided with a valve to prevent highpressure air which remains in the suction conduits from passing into the cylinder at the beginning of the suction stroke. The valve is preferably a piston valve arranged in a bore in the cylinder wall. In the arrangement shown in Fig 1, B<1> and B<2> are the suction ports of the cylinder, C is the inlet for low-pressure air, and the high-pressure air enters through a casing G<2>, the usual control valves being provided at the high- and low-pressure air inlets. In a bore in the cylinder wall is a piston-valve, working in a liner D and provided with a hollow rod E and two working faces E<1>. When the valve is in the position shown the port B' is in communication with the port C; but when the piston, moving to the right, has nearly finished its stroke, the port B<1> is put into communication with the casing G<2> through the hollow rod E. The valve is connected by a rocking-spindle in the casing G<2> and rods H<2> with a cross-head H<3>, which is operated by a tappet J on the piston-rod through the gearing shown, which is constructed as follows. On a rod L<2> slide two collars L<1> connected by a tube L<3>on the middle of which slides the cross-head H<3>. On the tube L<3> are fixed collars L<6> and sliding collars L<4> between which are springs L. To the collars L<1> are attached lugs L<7> which engage with the tappet J and the motion is communicated to the cross-head H<3>, first by the springs L and collars L<4>, and then by tubes L' sliding on the collars L<4>, L<6>.

Title: Improvements in Mechanical Pianoforte Players.
Inventor: LANCHESTER FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1912-04-23
Granted: 1913-04-23
Abstract: 9557. Lanchester, F. W. April 23. Expression controlling.-The simultaneous depression of both the treadles b, c, Fig. 1, of a pneumatically-played piano, in contradistinction to their normal alternate action, is arranged to operate expression-controlling means, such as a valve r, g, for cutting off the regulating-reservoir f from the action exhaust main d, or a bellows z for applying or removing the sustaining - pedal. The selective control is effected by a device h connected by tubes to both treadles. As long as only one of the treadles is being depressed, a diaphragm is sucked against the corresponding aperture m or n and prevents the suction effect from passing further; but when both treadles are depressed, suction passes to the tube q and operates the valve r, g, which cuts off the reservoir f so as to give a sforzando effect. The sustaining-pedal controlled by the bellows z may normally be either ' on ' or ' off,' the first alternative being that which is illustrated. When a lever 4 is in the position shown, a tube p from the selector h is in connection with a tube 6 leading to a pneumatic y controlling the bellows z. Consequently, when both treadles are depressed together to give a sforzando effect, the sustaining-pedal is momentarily taken off so as to apply the dampers. To 'blend ' the accented chord with its predecessor, the actuation of the pedal may be slightly delayed by introducing a long coil of tubing in the conduit to the pneumatic y, or the notes of the music sheet may be cut to overlap. By moving the lever 4 to one or other of its extreme positions, the pneumatic y may be connected either to atmosphere at the notch 8 or to the exhaust pipe 5, whereby the pedal is held continuously in its ' on ' or ' off ' position. The pneumatic y may also be controlled by special perforations in the music sheet. An alternative construction in which the selector h, Fig. 1, is combined with the cut-off valve r, g, is shown in Fig. 2. The valve g is seated only when both treadles are depressed so as to lift both ends of the lever u. The device may be mechanical instead of pneumatic. Alternative constructions of the cut-off valve r, g, Fig. 1, are shown in Figs. 6 and 9. When suction is admitted to the tube q, the diaphragm r seats the valve g. A leak passage may be provided. The diaphragm r is somewhat larger than the diaphragm x.

Abstract: 9874. Seidlitz, B. April 25. Burglar and l i k e alarms.-An alarm for jewel-boxes and the like comprises special contact devices combined with a time-alarm and lamp, a trip device for continuous ringing, and a special resetting-device. The contact piece k<1> passes through the bottom of the box and is mounted on a spring so as to close an alarm circuit through the ring m when the box is lifted or moved. The alarm circuit may also be closed when the scutcheon plate u is moved aside in order to insert the key, the projection V<1> on the plate V (which is rigidly connected to the scutcheon plate) being thus brought into contact with one of theterminals X, Y. The alarm may further be combined with a lamp t in series with a clock, the circuit through the lamp and alarm bell being closed when the hands reach the movable contacts r, s. In order to secure continuous ringing, a trip device n permanently closes the circuit when released bv the first stroke of the bell-hammer o. This device may be reset by means of a cord attached to an eye e<1> on the lever c, which also serves. when actuated by a handle f accessible from outside the box, to raise the spring c to put the alarm out of action.

Abstract: 15,092. Morris, Ltd., H., and Haslam, A. June 28. Elevated railways.-Traversers G for elevated ways displace a removable section A of the continuous track, which automatically returns when the traverser is removed. The section A is mounted similarly to the traverser rail C and is returned by a weight M, or by an incline on the track J. In a modification, the wheels of the section A may be geared to coiled &c. springs or to a drum carrying a weight. The section A may travel on the track J, as shown, or it may be suspended from pivots and swing in either direction, and in this case a dash-pot may be used to prevent excessive swinging. The traverser G and section A may carry centring rollers which contact with guide plates on the continuous track. Catches, brakes, or locks may be operated by power or hand-gear, or their automatic operation may be prevented when required by hand-operated levers or cams. The traverser G may contact with tappets on the section A to release the catches &c. before the section A is displaced.
