Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 13,883. Mees, G. Dec. 15, 1911, [Convention date]. Screw and like propellers.-In aerial propellers adjustable about radial axes and of the pellers adjustable about radial axes and of the kind described in Specification 25,749/10, the blades are provided with leaf springs m1, m2, m3 the ends of which bear against the spokes and tend to resist the pull of the pitch-varying wires g1, g2, g3. When single leaf springs are used they are tapered towards the ends as shown, but with superposed springs the width is constant. The springs are riveted to eyes i1, i2, i3, which bear against ball bearings e1, e2, e3 under the action of centrifugal forces, the bearings being restrained by rings t1, t2, t3, keyed on the axles k. The rim K, when used, is solid in crosssection, but it may be dispensed with.

Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 15,521. Mason, J. W. V. July 3. Operating doors by weights and by lever and toothedgear mechanism.- The discharge doors of dough-kneading machines with rotating pans are so arranged that they can be opened without stopping the rotation of the pan. Fig. 1 shows a discharge door made in halves and thus arranged. The door b rotates in a bearing c<1> formed in a hinged frame c, the frame c and the bearing c<1> being formed in halves as well as the door. The door is driven by frictional contact with the pan a. The halves of the frame c are attached to quadrants g, to which are attached cords passing over pulleys and carrying counterweights. The quadrants g are operated by links l, the other ends l<1> of which move in a vertical slide. The doors are supported while closed by a ball bearing o carried in a beam r running on travelling wheels s, so that it can be moved out of the way to allow the doors to open. To ensure the doors being in the right position for opening, a sliding bolt n may be made to engage with a projection b<2> on the door. To prevent either half of the door from rotating when the other is not in position, a hook e, Fig. 4, engages with the door until it is forced back by the other half of the bearing c<1> pressing against a sliding bolt d. In a modification, the door holders are operated by a shaft carrying worms engaging wheels or the hinge spindles.

Title: Improvements in the Arrangement of the Components of Frictional-driven Mechanisms of Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: DODSON EDWARD
IPC: F16H15/20

Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 590. Dodson, E. July 1. Variable-speed friction gearing for motorvehicles is combined with an epicyclic changespeed gear and a friction clutch. The engine b drives a disk e, which can slide along its shaft to engage different parts of a driven cone f. This cone is slid able on its shaft g, so that it is pressed into engagement with the disk e by an adjustable spring h and can be moved away from the disk to disengage the gear. The shaft g drives the road wheel through a friction disk clutch j, an epicyclic two-speed gear m, and chain gearing p. The clutch j is controlled by means of a rod l and a cam k, and the epicyclic gear is controlled by means of a brake s and a rod t.

The inner part of the spiral may be divided off to form a continuous track to the bottom of the shoot.
Patent GB-191313487-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Change Speed and Reversing Gearing.
IPC: F16H9/24
Filed: 1913-01-11
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 13,487. Holliday, C. E., and Renold, Ltd., H. Jan. 30.. Variable - speed and reversing chain gearing comprises two parallel chains m, n connecting loose gears d, e on a driving-shaft a to loose gears f, g, respectively, on a driven shaft b. Double-ended clutches h, i sliding on the shafts a, b are adapted to engage these gears singly, to drive the shaft b at two different speeds. If an intermediate shaft c is used having gears k, l, which can be clutched to one another or to the shaft, two additional forward speeds are obtained. Both chains are in action in each of these additional speeds. By this invention, in order to get a reversed drive, or reversed drives, another gear-carrying shaft o is arranged so that the chains w, n pass one above and one below it. When the gears p, q on this shaft o are connected by a clutch r, and both chains are in action, reversed driving takes place. The shaft o is adjustably mounted to give the wheels p, q a wedging action between the chains m, n. The gearing is applicable for driving motorvehicles and boats, and machine tools.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Internal Combustion Pumps.
Inventor: WALLACE WILLIAM MACGREGOR
Filed: 1913-07-21
Granted: 1914-06-11
Abstract: 16,671. Wallace, W. M. July 21. Direct explosion apparatus.-In internal-combustion pumps of the type in which a column of water is alternately driven outwards by the explosion of a combustible mixture in a combustion chamber and returns to compress the fresh combustible charge, a piston is employed at the delivery end of the play pipe for draining the fresh supply of water into the pump and forcing it into the combustion chamber. The piston may also be used for injecting air into the combustion chamber. In the arrangement shown upon an explosion occurring in the combustion chamber 1, part of the liquid in the play pipe 2 is forced through the delivery pipe 5 and the weighted piston 3 commences to rise compressing a charge of air or combustible gas above the water in the chamber 4. As soon as the pressure in the chamber 1 has fallen sufficiently, the valve 10 opens, admitting water from the pipe 9 and chamber 4 to the combustion chamber. Just before the piston 3 reaches the end of its upward stroke, the valve 17 is opened by mechanism connected to the rod 13 and the compressed air in the upper end of the chamber 4 escapes through the pipe 8 and valve 11 into the combustion chamber, expelling burnt products therefrom through the exhaust valve 14, which is opened mechanically at about the same time. Any water contained in the lower end of the pipe 8 is ejected as a spray into the hot combustion products. The piston 3 now falls under the action of the weight 12, and when the water surface in the chamber 1 has risen about half-way, the charge of gas is admitted under slight pressure through the valve 16, which is controlled by the movement of the rod 13. The valves 14, 16 are closed immediately afterwards, and the fresh charge is then compressed by the continued upward movement of the water and ignited. During the downward movement of the piston 3, fresh scavenging air and water are drawn into the space above the piston.

Abstract: 3868. Black, G. J. F., and Foggo, W. Feb. 14. Bell and gong signals; mechanical telegraphs.- In a bell signal, particularly for use in mines, the lever 10 pivoted at 13 is operated by either electric or mechanical means and moves the bell hammer 2 by the arm 7 and also turns the numbered disk 20 step by step by the pawl and ratchet-wheel 17, 18, to indicate the number of strokes of the bell. The check pawl 29 is integral with the rocking lever 30, and when this is moved automatically by the starting of the engine or by a timing arrangement or otherwise, the pawl 29 in rising disengages also the pawl 17, permitting the disk 20 and ratchet-wheel 18 to run back to the zero position under the influence of the weight 36 on the wound-up cord 37. The mot'on of the ratchetwheel 18 is limited in this (counterclockwise) direction by its pin 39 abutting against a fixed block. The clockwise rotation of the wheal 18 by the pawl 17 is limited by making part of the surface 18<b> of the ratchet smooth, so that the pawl 17 is lifted out of action. The check pawl 29, however, is narrower than the pawl 17 and engages a narrow indentation in the surface 18<b>. The lever 10 is controlled by the spring 15 acting through the wire 16, and may be actuated either by the electro magnets 11, 12, of which it forms the armature, or mechanically by the arm 43, which is integral with the spring-controlled cross 41, which can be rocked by wires, rods, &c. attached to its arms and operated from different points. Set-screws 8, 27, 46 are provided to limit the motion of the bell hammer 2, the pawl 17, and the lever 10 respectively. A lamp 24 illuminates the transparent numbered disk 20, which can be viewed through a window 22.
