Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Circuit Controlling Apparatus for Train Lighting and similar Systems.
IPC: H01H51/12
Filed: 1911-02-28
Granted: 1912-02-28
Abstract: 5012. Electric and Ordnance Accessories Co., Langley, E. H. M., and Price, E. W. Feb. 28. Electro - magnetic switches; interlocked switches.-In a train-lighting system where the lamps are arranged in two separate circuits, either or both of which can be completed at will by means of a pair of interlocked switches, one switch e is normally open, and the other switch d is normally closed. To close the first switch, a solenoid E is energized, by means of a separate master switch; the solenoid plunger E<1> then raises the contacts e<1>, which are not attached to the plunger, and slide through guides e<2>. The plunger becomes latched in its fully raised position by pivoted toggle links E<2> falling inwards just over their dead centre. The master switch can then be moved off its contact, and the solenoid E left dead. To open the other switch d and simultaneously unlatch the switch e, the solenoid D is energized and the plunger D<1> raised, toggle links D<2> being, as before, carried inwards just over their dead centre. The lower link, which is a bell-crank lever on a fixed pivot strikes a swinging member F, which transmits the blow to the toggle E<2> and knocks it outwards past the dead centre. The plunger E<1> then falls, and the switch e opens. When the solenoid E is again energized the switch e is closed and the switch d is released. If both solenoids are energized at the same time, the switches are actuated, but the plungers are stopped short of the dead centre position of the toggles, so that when the current is cut off, both switches return to their normal positions. In order to actuate the switches by hand, a transverse sliding bar J carries rollers G<1>, H<1>, which raise one or both of a pair of auxiliary plungers G, H adapted to act respectively on the pivot pins D<4>, E<4> at the bottom of the solenoid plungers. The bar J can rest in either of the positions shown in Figs. 1 and 2, from which it may be moved to raise one or both plungers, the interlock working as described above.

Title: Improvements in Reciprocating Engines Combined with Turbines.
Inventor: ERLANGSEN CHRISTOFFER FERDINAN
IPC: F01D15/02
Filed: 1911-08-28
Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 19,219. Erlangsen, C. F. Sept. 3, 1910, [Convention date]. Plant.-A reciprocating engine, of the type in which the pistons coact with fixed camgrooves to cause the pistons and cylinder to revolve, is combined with a turbine which extracts energy from the exhaust. Fig. 1<a> shows in section one half of an internal-combustion plant comprising a revolving cylinder A, C, a double-ended centre piston F, a double-ended piston E at each end of the cylinder, and two outward-flow turbine-wheels D, mounted on the revolving cylinder in such a position that the exhaust passes into them from the respective working chambers when the piston F uncovers the ports Z at the end of the explosion stroke. The piston F has arms K working in longitudinal grooves in the cylinder, and ball-rings on the arms engage a cam-groove 1 in a fixed part M and so cause the piston to rotate with the cylinder as it reciprocates. The end pistons E are connected by bars c, Fig. 3, to a ring h which carries ball-rings L engaging a similar cam-groove 1. The pistons E and the cylinder are caused to rotate together by projections on the ring h engaging ribs f on the outside of the cylinder A. An inlet valve R at each end of the cylinder is opened periodically by the action of cams formed on the stationary inlet pipes V upon arms T on the rotating valve spindle. In operation, the charge drawn past the valve R on the inward stroke of the pistons is forced past the valve P into the interior of the piston E on the outward stroke, and passes past the valve 0 into the explosion chamber at the end of the stroke when the exhaust from the previous explosion is escaping through the ports Z. The sparking-plug q has a brush e contacting with an insulated strip j, and a contact-maker on the cylinder end gives four sparks per revolution.

Abstract: 27,108. Bouracier, L. C. J. Dec. 4. Railways for recreation.-A switchback railway consists of several undulating tracks arranged in tiers, as shown in Fig. 1, and the cars descend from one track to another by way of counterweighted sections J pivoted to the inner ends of the tracks. A car runs off the movable section on the fixed track, and on returning passes under the movable section, which in the meantime has returned to its normal position. Mirrors H are placed at the inner ends of the tracks so that the passengers of the cars are given the impression of an impending collision. Before the car reaches the mirror, it runs on to the movable section which turns under the weight of the car and deposits it on to the track below. Mirrors M and buffers are also placed at the outer ends of the tracks. In case a movable section J fails to move when a car runs on to it, a buffer A<1>, Fig. 2<A>, is placed in front of the mirror H to stop the car. Should the section J then move, guides B<2> placed beneath the buffer A<1> engage uprights C<2> on the car and ensure that it remains on the section until this is within a safe distance of the track below. Further, the section J when it descends raises a pivoted flap X in the path of the car, which allows the car to pass but stops it on its backward journey if the section has not been lifted by the counterweights. A lift E raises the loaded cars to the level of the top track.
