Granted: 1911-05-08
Abstract: 11,367. Malinverni, E. May 7. Brake mechanism; supports.-The motion of the road wheel of a bicycle or the like, when the brake is applied, is transmitted through the brake mechanism to actuate a support or ground brake, the shoes of which are thus brought into engagement with the ground. Brake pads p, carried by links h, g, f, i from members b at each side of the wheel, are applied to the rim by the actuation of a wire D' passing down the frame from the handle-bars. The rotation of the wheel carries the pads forward and causes the member b to turn about the axle B, thus depressing through links e the supporting-members m, n which are pivoted at N. The support is held in operative position by a pawl engaging a ratchet N<1>, the pawl being released, when desired, by means of a wire B<2> connected to a control pawl 9, Fig. 5, upon the handle-bar. The pawl engages a ratchet 6 upon the lever L<a>, which may operate the wire D<1> either through a link 13 and a lever 15 or directly through an arm L<11>. The pawl is released by a lever at the opposite end of the pivot 7. The supporting-members are adjustable in length and are arranged at an adjustable angle to the plane of the machine. In the form shown in Fig. 8, the brake pads are arranged to engage the rim of the wheel in front of the axle, the downward movement of the pads causing the shoes 40 to be turned down to bear upon the ground. The pads are carried by rods 20 pivoted at x to swinging plates 21 upon the frame and at 37 to compression rods 36 connected at 38 to the bifurcated supporting- members 33, 35.

Abstract: 18,799. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. Aug. 10. Range-finders. - A range-finder of the selfcontained base type is combined with a rangefinder of the type utilizing a base at the distant target, in such a manner that the operating- mechanisms are moved simultaneously, so that when one instrument is set the other is also moved into the corresponding position. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the working head 1 of a short-base range-finder A is connected by a coupling 7 to the working head 4 of a distantbase range-finder B. The instruments may be arranged for use by one observer only, one eye being used for each instrument. The distantbase range-finder shown in Fig. 3 comprises telescope systems T', T<2>, in one of which, T<2>, is mounted a pair of equal prisms 15, 16, relatively rotatable to adjust the effective angle to correspond to the distant base length, and capable of longitudinal adjustment to measure the range. A similar pair of rotatable prisms 10, 11 is provided in a fixed position in the telescope T<1> in order to obtain an " infinity " position " of the travelling prisms 15, 16 not occupied by glass. The eye-piece prisms shown are intended to equalize the thickness of glass traversed in the two telescopes. The hypothenusal face of prism 17 is partially silvered to give overlapping fields, or silvered in parts to give separate but contiguous fields. Means for operating the prisms 15, 16 are shown in Fig. 4. The prisms 15, 16 are mounted on a rack 6 traversed by a pinion 5 on the working head and their frames are provided with teeth meshing with pinion rods 22, 26, geared so as to be rotated in opposite directions by the graduated disk 29 for setting the instrument to the distant-base length.

Abstract: 20,801. Bannister, M. C. J. Sept. 6. Ice-making, drum apparatus for; freezing by direct contact of cold air.-Brine &c. passes in contact with metal plates on one side thereof; on the other side ice is formed and cold air is passed over the surface of the ice as the plates are alternately immersed in water and exposed to the cold air. In the apparatus shown, the brine is passed from the hollow axle E through the hollow walls of a rotating drum A. The brine may also flow through hollow partitions B. Cold air is admitted at S, and, after passing over the ice surfaces, leaves the chamber by the outlets T. The drum dips into a water-tank U in the bottom of the chamber. This tank is connected to a second tank in which the waterlevel is adjusted so that the water in the tank U reaches the drum C. This second tank may contain a cooling-coil for the water to be frozen. The water in the tank U is kept above freezing- point by the circulation of warm water, or water to be frozen, in a jacket surrounding the tank, or by attemperating-coils. The surface of the water may be agitated by stirring-mechanism or by spray-pipes. To ensure the formation of ice only on those surfaces upon which it is intended that ice should be formed, all other surfaces are insulated by means of timber saturated in oil or paraffin wax; or the surfaces are covered with granulated compressed cork slabs. The drum may be rotated continuously or intermittently, or it may be oscillated. A cutter L driven from the shaft A, which drives the drum through ratchet gear G, trims the ice blocks. In a modification, the water to be frozen is carried inside a drum having hollow walls. As the blocks are formed, they are released by the passage of warm brine through the bottom walls, and fall on to a slide arranged within the drum. Specifications 8092/09 and 19,698/09 are referred to.
