Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Opening and Closing Bulkheads by Hydraulic Power.
Inventor: GUEMBEL LUDWIG CARL FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1904-04-27
Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 9672. G³mbel, L. C. F. April 27. Bullchead doors, operating. Fig. 3 shows a diagrammatic view of a hydraulic system, in which all doors may be operated, say, from the bridge, by the controlling-cock b, while any door may be operated from a position close to it. A pressure main c and exhaust main d controlled by the cock h are connected by pipes g, k, and h, l, respectively, to the lower and upper ends of door-operating cylinders m, an eight-way cock i, shown in section on an enlarged scale in Fig. 4, being fitted near each door. There are in addition, a pressure main n and an exhaust main o, connected with each cock by pipes p, q. When the cock b is in the position shown in Fig. 1, and the cocks i in the position I, the doors are open, and remain so until the supporting-pin is withdrawn, when the weighted arm r causes the cock i to assume the position II, and the door closes. Any door may be opened by moving the plug of its corresponding cock into the position III. To close all the doors simultaneously, the cock b is turned so that the pipe d becomes the pressure main and the pipe c the exhaust main.

Title: Improvements in Variable-speed Gearing applicable to Cycles, Motor Cars and the like
Inventor: SAUNDERS MONTAGU
Filed: 1905-04-12
Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 7796. Saunders, M. April 12. Motor road vehicles.-In a three-speed gear for motor - vehicles, the extreme speeds are produced by the independent action of separate epicyclic trains. In Fig. 1, an arrangement is shown with a gearing down" train on the leftand a "gearing up" train on the right, but a modification is described in which the clutch actuating- rod 22 is positively operated by a lever pivoted to a projection from a washer 31. A sprocket-wheel 1 is secured to a sleeve 2 carrying an internally-toothed wheel 3. Planet pinions 4, mounted on spindles 7 carried by a ring 8, are in mesh with a toothed sleeve 5 upon a fixed axle 6. The ring 8 is connected through a cylinder 9 with a ring 8<a>, which carries pinions 4<a> upon spindles 7<a>, these pinions being in mesh with an internally-toothed ring 3<a> upon the hub &c. 10 and with a toothed sleeve 5<a>, which may be overrun by the element 3<a> through a oneway clutch 11. The sleeve 5 is secured to a cylinder 12 provided with longitudinal slots in which engage projections on a sliding cylinder 13. The cylinder 13 is provided with ratchet teeth 14, which are held by a spring 15 against teeth 14<a> in the ring 8<a>, and with ratchet teeth 17 adapted to engage teeth 18 on a sliding non-rotable stop 19, which also carries ratchet teeth 21 adapted to engage teeth 21<a> on the sleeve 5<a>. The stop 19 may be traversed by means of a pin 27 projecting from a rod 22 in the axle 6, a chain &c. 23, and a spring 26. In the position of the stop 19 shown, the teeth 21 serve to stop the sleeve 5<a>, and the teeth 14 serve to clutch the sleeve 5 to the ring 4. The train on the left runs solid, and the pinions 4<a> rolling on the sleeve 5<a> impart an increased speed to the ring 3<a>. If the stop 19 is drawn to the left to disengage the teeth 21, the clutch 11 comes into action and the whole gear rotates solid. A movement of the stop 19, sufficient to cause the engagement of the teeth 18 and the disengagement of the teeth 14, locks the sleeve 5 against rotation and effects a drive at diminished speed through the cylinder 9 and the solidly-rotating train on the right.

Filed: 1906-10-30
Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 24,158. Turner, H. Oct. 30. Slipping of wheels, preventing.-A bracket A is mounted under the vehicle behind the driving- wheels to provide a bearing for the spindle D, which carries the wheel K by means of the forked lever H. A spring G is mounted between the bracket and the fork H to keep the wheel pressed on the ground, and a collar D<1> prevents the spindle from dropping out of the bearing. A loose disk E is mounted on the spindle C with which it is caused to rotate by means of a feather key. Two sets of links and levers F, N, and 0 connect two points on the disk with the valves P in the sand boxes S, so that when the vehicle skids, the wheel K is deflected and causes sand or other suitable material to be deposited in front and on the inner side of the driving-wheel from one or other of the sand boxes S. A lever L, engaging a notch M in the disk E, throws the apparatus out of action when desired, or when the car is reversed ; in the latter case, the lever L may be connected up to the reversing-lever. A cover T may be provided to keep out dust.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Clips for Stentering Machines.
Inventor: CHAMBERS ERNEST
Filed: 1907-05-16
Granted: 1908-04-09
Abstract: 11,434. Chambers, E. May 16. Tentering. - In order to make tentering - clips adjustable for wear and unevenness of the fabric, they are provided with pivoted, swivelled, or rocking base-plates, or the knives or grippers may be swivelled for the same purpose. To avoid the necessity of renewing the whole of a damaged clip, the clip proper is made detachable from its link, being preferably held thereto by a tapering dovetail. so that the tension of the fabric tends to tighten the unicn. The base-plate a, Fig. 3, is swivelled by a pin m to a block b between the cliparms c, to which it is pivoted at c<1>. The height of the base-plate is adjusted by a set-screw e and locknut e<1> engaging in a recess f and centrally disposed along the length of the base-plate. This swivel connexion to the clip may be replaced by a stud placed behind the set-screw e and engaging in a similar recess f, or the base-plate may have a rocking connexion i, Fig. 6, with the clip, lateral motion of the plate being prevented by means of overhanging flanges. In a modification, the knife or gripper g, Fig. 9, having a sharp or a flat edge for engaging the fabric, is pivoted to the frame l and is normally held in the position shown by its own weight or by a spring. The frame l is swivelled to the clip by means similar to those employed for swivelling the base-plate a, Fig. 3. The frame l is made integrally with the feelers h, and carries an inclined surface r, engaged by the end p of an adjustable screw in the lever o. When the feelers drop, the end p moves along the incline r and locks the clip, the knife g then being turned on its pivot by the moving fabric, which it then grips. The lever o is provided with a depending piece o<1> for unlocking the clip by engagement with the projection h<1> of the knife-frame l. The friction of the feelers on the cloth may be reduced by means of counterbalance weights m<2>, or the pivot c<1> may be made adjustable cross-ways.

Abstract: 19,701. Burn, R. G. L., Burn, J. D., Burn, L. A., and Brown, C. R. B. Sept. 3. Traps.-Means are provided for starting the siphonic action in a siphon trap, for interrupting the action when desired, for increasing the quantity delivered by a given head, and for directing and controlling the discharge. The lower portion 1 of the trapped bore of a siphon is elongated horizontally and contracted vertically, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, to permit the passage of a large air bubble in order to start the siphon with greater certainty. In order to stop the action of the siphon, the upper portion 4 of the stand-pipe 5 is made of larger diameter in order to reduce the velocity of the liquid at this point, so that the air may be introduced through a pipe 6 of small diameter, as shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 4 shows a construction of siphon with a bell-mouthed outlet 7 to reduce the back-pressure and increase the quantity of liquid delivered by a given head. Means may be provided to regulate the discharge from this bell-mouth, such as an adjustable piece 8 arranged in the mouth 7. The bottom edge of the regulator may be serrated for the purpose of spreading or dividing up the outflow.
