Title: Improvements in or relating to Speed Indicators.
Inventor: RINGELHAN GUSTAV
IPC: G01P3/10
Filed: 1910-09-05
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 20,653. Ringelhan, G. Sept. 5. Periodic-counter speed indicators.-A spring- controlled lever is operated at intervals so as to release successively the pointer and its actuator and to wind up the clock-work. A slide 2 reciprocated from the vehicle or engine drives, through a pawl 3<a>, pinions 6, 7, and friction wheels 9, 10, an arm 14 which may engage a pin on and so actuate the disk 16 on the pointer spindle. The spring 21 of the clockwork drives a wheel train and escapement, and, when it has run down, an arm 31 connected with the train comes into engagement with a spring 37 controlling a pawl 34 which normally holds the bell-crank lever 28, pivoted at 32 in the position shown, against the action of a spring 29. On the next downward movement of the slide 2, the stud 33 is depressed sufficiently to allow the pawl 34 to rise under the pressure of the arm 31 against the spring 37. The lever 28, being thus released, is moved by the spring 29, and effects the following operations in succession. Firstly, a pin 45 on the lever pushes aside an arm 46, and thereby momentarily removes a detent 39 from engagement with the disk 16, whereupon the pointer is liberated and, under the influence of a spring, returns to show the new speed (if this is less than during the previous period). Secondly, the spindle 8 of the friction wheel 9 (which spindle has limited movement with respect to the bell-crank lever 28) is depressed by the end of the slot 42 in this lever, so as to remove the wheel 9 from contact with the wheel 10. The actuating-arm for driving the disk 16 is thereby freed and returns to its zero position. In addition, the movement of the lever 28 forces back the arm 31, and so again winds up the clock spring 21. At the next operation of the slide 2, the pin 33 is forced down and the lever 28 returns to the position shown, where it is held again by the pawl 34.
Patent GB-191022839-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Chilling and Preserving Chambers.
Inventor: MEDERER MAX
IPC: F25D13/00
Filed: 1910-10-03
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 22,839. Mederer, M. Oct. 3. Cold-storage rooms.-In a chilling and preserving chamber, the walls consist of tiers of bricks spaced from each other and having horizontal openings, down which water trickles so as to cool the chamber. In one form of apparatus, the floor 2 consists of bricks arranged in concentric circles with spaces between to provide channels. The bricks may have longitudinal air passages. The air passes inwards between the bricks to a central well 6, and rises thence through a grating 8 to the inner chamber 13, built within the outer chamber 14. The walls of both chambers have inner and outer tiers of bricks, the horizontal air passages in one tier being staggered relatively to those in the other tier. Air spaces are left between the tiers. Shafts of light are thus prevented from entering the chamber 14. The floors of the chambers are tiled and slope outwards. The roofs of the chambers consist of bricks spaced apart with a course of tiles 23. The roofs are supported on joists 21, and are provided with air vents 24. Water-delivery pipes 31, 34 pass around the roofs over the air spaces 10, 12. A circular dam prevents water from running over the outside of the wall, and directs the water to the spaces 10, 12. A gutter 39 collects the water. Doors, out of alinement with each other are formed in the walls of the two chambers and in a porch 28. In a modification, only one chamber is provided. The sides consist of three tiers of bricks, which may be re-inforoed by filling-bricks. An inner roof has air passages at right-angles to each other. The floor courses may be overlaid with imperforate tiling.

Abstract: 25,903. Michener, J. H. Nov. 8. Trimming and spreading apparatus.-Relates to conveying-mechanism for trimming coal &c. in ships' bunkers and in like places, and consists, firstly, in the provision of special scrapers 16, Fig. 1, arranged at intervals between the ordinary scrapers 4 for trimming the spaces between the vertical deck beams 6 and other obstacles; and, secondly, of means for starting a second conveyer from a first conveyer when the space beneath the first conveyer is filled up, and for stopping the second conveyer. The scrapers 16 are wider than the scrapers 4, and are pivotally connected at 15 to the chain, and are under the influence of spring push-rods 19. Cams 23 prevent shock to the scrapers 16. In a modification, the scrapers are pivoted to a crossbar, and are provided with extensions which are connected by a spring. In a further modification, the scrapers have arms which run in a cam-guide. Figs. 7 and 8 show the arrangement of the two conveyers. The second conveyer 3 is driven from the first through a clutch, the sliding member 47 of which is operated by a fork 54 on a sliding spring- controlled rod 51. When the space beneath the conveyer 5 is filled up, a special pivoted scraper 85 is swung aside to raise a pin 79 formed on the chain. The pin 79 engages a trip lever 77, which releases a detent 65 from a collar 59 on the rod 51 and allows the clutch to engage under the influence of the spring 62. A similar pin 86 is provided on the conveyer 3, which engages a trip lever 88 when the space beneath is filled up. The lever 88 withdraws detents 69, 71 on each side of the spring 62, and the clutch is disengaged. The lever 77 may be tripped by an abutment on a star-wheel, the arms of which are engaged by the pin 79. With this arrangement, the conveyer 5 can make several complete traverses prior to the operation of the clutch member 47.

Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 5676. Trotman, S. R. March 7. [Cognate Application, 12,393/11.] Processes for treating hides and skins.-For the preparation of glue and for retannage or other purposes, chrome or vegetable tanned leather is untanned by bodies capable of producing hydrogen peroxide. Chrome - tanned leather is dechromed by being degreased, washed, and uncoloured, if necessary, pulped, soaked in an aqueous solution of sulphurous or other mineral acid, and washed to remove the soluble chromium compounds. The residuum is then neutralized with an alkali and treated with sodium peroxide or other body or mixture of bodies capable of producing hydrogen peroxide until the remaining chromium compounds are converted into soluble chromates, which are finally removed by washing. The amount of sodium hydrate present during the peroxide treatment may be controlled by adding calcium chloride. The peroxide treatment may alternatively be carried out in an acid solution, and the initial acid soakage may alternatively be preceded or replaced by an alkaline one. Vegetable-tanned leather is untanned similarly, the initial bath being alkaline, such as a caustic alkali, alkaline carbonate, ammonium compound, or calcium hydrate. Treatment with this and water rinsings are continued until as much of the tannin as possible is removed, after which oxidation is carried out as above.
