Patent GB-191124143-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Pressure Equalising Devices for Fluids.
Inventor: REISERT HANS
IPC: G05D16/12
Filed: 1911-10-31
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 24,143. Reisert, H. Oct. 31. Pressure-regulating valves.-A pressure-regulating device for liquids has an open float e connected to a valve b, b<1>, the inlet k and outlet r communicating with the outside and inside of the float respectively, whereby the pressure at the outlet r is stated not to exceed that of a column of liquid equal to a height q, the difference between the end o of the valve spindle and the water-level of the float. Water entering at k flows through d' and the intermediate space between the tubes f, g into a container i, the float e being lifted and the valve b, b<1> opened. The float is loaded by the back pressure at r, the water rising through the hollow tube c, and water passing through the openings p from the container i, the buoyancy of the float balancing the weight of the parts and its load whereby the water pressure at the outlet is maintained constant. Should the water-level in the container for the pipe system to which the apparatus is connected fall sufficiently, the float is emptied by means of a siphon v, g, hollow screws h preventing the siphoning of the water in the chamber i; the valve is kept open until the pipe system is emptied. By means of a screwed rod n and disk u, the valve b, b' can be forced down and closed, communication between the chambers i, r being closed by a packing-ring y. A simplified arrangement is also described, in which the siphon and stop-valve devices are not used.

Title: Improvements in Roller Bearings.
Inventor: APPLEBY JOSEPH ALFRED
IPC: B60B27/00
Filed: 1912-01-24
Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 1882. Appleby, J. A. Jan. 24. Ball and roller bearings.- In a roller bearing for shafts, motor-vehicle wheels, &c., of the kind in which rollers bear against the shaft or axle and their spindles against the casing or hub, axial displacement of the rollers is prevented by balls or rollers, thereby eliminating sliding friction from the end thrusts of the main rollers. The rollers 2, Fig. 1, bear on a shaft 4, and the spindles 3, which are solid or hollow, roll on an annular ledge 5 projecting from the casing 1. The rollers are kept out of contact with the sides of the ledge 5 by plates or separators 6, which bear against balls or rollers 8 placed in recessed portions of the ledge. Balls 7 may also be arranged between the rollers and the separators 6. The rollers 2 are mounted in cages consisting of end rings 11, held together by headed pins 12 passing through the hollow spindles 3. Holes 14 may be formed in the spindles 3 through which graphite or other lubricant, with which they are charged, may pass to the ledge 5. To render the bearing adjustable, the rollers 2 may be coned, and may bear on an adjustable conical sleeve on the shaft. Fig. 3 shows a modification applied to a vehicle wheel. A number of conical rollers bear on a conical axle 4, and the conical ends of their spindles bear on similar surfaces on two parts 18 screwed together within the hub of the wheel. Balls 8 are placed between separating - plates 6 and the flanged portions 19 of the parts 18. In a modification of the construction shown in Fig. 1, the ledge 5 consists of two concentric rings spaced and connected by radial bolts, and in the space between the rings conical rollers are mounted, in either one or two rows. The rollers project beyond the edges of the rings and engage the plates 6, which may be conical. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the conical rollers 2 hear on two oppositely coned sleeves 27 on the axle 4, one sleeve being adjustable. The balls or rollers separating the rollers 2 from the plates 6 are mounted on pins 28 projecting from rings 27<a> mounted loosely on the spindles 3. The ledge 5 is secured in the hub 1 by a cylindrical liner 25 and a screwed cap 26. In any of the modifications, the inner or outer races or ledges may be removably secured by a suitably arranged locking-wire. Fig. 7 shows a modification applied to a thrust bearing for a vertical shaft 4. A cone 15 on the shaft rests on cones 2 mounted on vertical spindles 3. A separator 6 provided with ball races 7 supports the cones 2 and runs upon rollers 16 placed in a groove in a fixed ring 5. A lower extension 31 of the cone 15 is guided by rollers 32 on the lower ends of the spindles 3.

Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 19,424. Rayner, G. Aug. 24. Fluid-actuated gears. - In valve mechanism wherein the valve has three collars and two recesses, separate independently-moving plungers are provided to move the valve which is locked in its extreme positions by fluid pressure, the separate plungers k, g or their equivalent have larger areas than the valve collars, and work in chambers which communicate with the main cylinders by passages f<1>, f controlled by the main piston. The end valve collars e, e<3> are formed with ports e<1>, e<2> which permit motive fluid to pass freely from the inlet a to the ends of the valve to -lock same, or to exhaust air from the valve ends to the ports h. The locking-fluid returns the auxiliary pistons to their original positions. In the arrangement shown, a small port l is placed between the cylinder and the right-hand auxiliary chamber, and the left-hand auxiliary piston is made of larger area to lock the valve and piston to the right should the piston strike an empty blow. In a modification, the central collar of the valve controls the exhaust, and is provided with locking ports extending to the opposite ends of the valve. The auxiliary pistons are of equal diameter, and the ports f, f<1> pass direct to the same ends of the cylinder. The auxiliary pistons may be flanged and distance pieces provided on the valve and plugs n, or the pistons may be of spherical or part-spherical shape, or the valve ends may be. recessed to receive the projections g', k'.

Patent GB-191227483-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Stereoscopic Telemeters.
Filed: 1912-11-29
Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 27,483. Zeiss, C., [Firm of]. Dec. 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Range-finders. - Relates to stereoscopic telemeters in which the oculars lie between the objective lenses and in which to each ocular is presented a double image formed by a separating prism system, the part-images of each double image belonging to opposite ends of the base and being erect and contiguous along a line of coincidence parallel to the base-line, and in which measuring is performed bv means of a deflecting-device which alters the relative distance between the lower partimages and between the upper-part images by equal but opposite amounts. According to the invention, the telemeters are formed with a single separating - prism system for producing the two double images. In the system shown in Fig. 1, the separating-layers are at different heights and at right-angles to each other, being formed on the hypotenusal surfaces of rightangled prisms a placed one over the other with these surfaces at right-angles to each other, and at an inclination of 45 degrees to the base-line direction A-A. Each separating-surface has cemented to it a protecting right-angled prism b. One part of the mixed-ray system is transmitted to the right-hand ocular by means of the prisms c c and the other part to the left-hand ocular by means of the doubly-reflecting prism d. In the system shown in plan and elevation in Figs. 2 and 3, a single separating-surface g<0> reflecting on both sides is employed and is formed on the upper half of the surface of the prism g<1> contiguous to the prism g<2>. One of the two double images is transmitted to the left-hand ocular by means of a collective lens k and reversing-lens l and prisms m, n, and o. The other double image is transmitted to the right-hand ocular by means of a collective lens q, a reversing-system of two lenses r<1>, r<2>, and a prism s. The lenses q, r<1>, and r<2> are such that the rays are parallel between r<1> and r<2> so that the interocular distance may be adjusted. Instead of the separating - surface g‹ extending over half the prism face as shown in Fig. 4, it may be in the form of a band as shown in Fig. 5. The band may also extend only over the middle part of the prism. Specifications 21,887/03, 11,726/05, 6082/10, and 24,714/10 are referred to.
