Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 3207. Janney, R. Feb. 10. Speed - varying mechanism.-In hydraulic-power transmission apparatus of the kind described in Specifications 13,894/07, 13,895/07, and 13,896/07, the casing is made free to rotate when it is desired that the driving and driven shafts shall rotate at the same speed and in the same direction. In such circumstances positive clutches may be interposed to lock the two shafts, either directly or through the medium of the casings and valve plate. In place of the surplus oil reservoir described in Specification 13,894/07, to allow for the expansion of the oil or for leakage, one or more reservoirs fitted with spring-loaded pistons O are fitted as shown in Fig. 1, which illustrates a machine in which the casing is normally prevented from rotating by a brake band C. The tilting box is varied in inclination by the rod H, which is operated through the circular track L and lever M. For the positive connexion of the two shafts, clutches can be provided between each shaft and the valve plate Q, or between the shafts and the casings, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the former Figure showing dog clutches A<2>, A<5>, and the latter a conical friction clutch A<6>, A<7>.

Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 19,693. Maschinenbau-Ges. Martini & Huneke. Nov. 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Engine stop-year.-In apparatus for conveying liquid fuel &c. by the pressure of an inert gas, a producer for the inert gas controls the action of mechanism for delivering the gas and the liquid fuel, so that the action of the plant depends upon the production of the inert gas. The Figure shows the plant in which the inert gas produced in the explosion chamber 1 passes through a pipe 3, pump 4, gas-holder 6, and pipe 7 to the storage tank 9, the liquid fuel being drawn from the latter by a pipe 10. The motor 13, which is dependent upon the operation of the producer 1, and stops if the latter does not produce sufficient mixture, actuates the pumps 4, 11. The producer may control the action of the motor in various ways, for example, by supplying the explosive mixture to the motor. or the heat generated in the producer may serve to ignite the charge in the engine.

Title: Improvements in Manufacturing Radium Salts or Compounds and Substances containing Large Proportions of Radium.
Inventor: ULZER FERDINAND
IPC: C01F13/00
Filed: 1909-08-30
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 19,820. Ulzer, F., and Sommer, R. Aug. 30. Radium chloride and sulphate &c. - Radium compounds are obtained from radium-containing materials, pitch blende, uranium pitch ore, pitchblende residue, &c., by first treating with concentrated sulphuric acid, or melting with acid sulphates. The residue is then washed, and fused with caustic or carbonated alkalies, or mixtures of the same, or boiled with their concentrated water solutions under pressure, and the residue washed and treated with dilute sulphuric acid to obtain the raw sulphate of radium. The process may be modified by treating the ore &c. first with the alkaline reagents, and then with the acid agents, and, in this case, the final treatment with dilute sulphuric acid is omitted, the raw sulphate being obtained directly. To obtain the pure chloride, the raw sulphate is fused with alkali carbonates or mixtures of the same, and the residue washed and dissolved in hydrochloric acid, from which solution the pure chloride may be obtained by the usual process of fractional crystallization.

Title: Improvements relating to Colour Photography.
Inventor: SURY JOSEPH
IPC: G03C7/20
Filed: 1909-09-17
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 21,281. Sury, J., and Bastyns, E. Sept. 17. Colour photography. - Relates to the production of colour photographs by superposing three separately printed monochromes and consists in perforating the monochromes before their superposition in order that the colours of the underneath components may blend more easily with the superposed components. To perforate the prints a roller or rolling mill provided with points may be employed. When three wet prints are joined together, the prints are compressed in a press, as thus the colour passes through the perforations and renders the whole more homogeneous.

Abstract: 21,871. Sands, F. Sept. 25. Brake mechanism.-In brakes for bicycles, tricycles, and motor-bicycles of the kind wherein blocks are applied to each side of the rim of a wheel by springs and are taken out of action by a cord or wire passing up the frame to an operating-lever on the handle-bar, blockcarrying quadrants 7 or eccentric disks are mounted at the pivots of double levers 5 upon frame members at each side of the wheel, the longer arms of the levers being connected to the wire or cord and the shorter arms to tension springs 3: The blocks are normally held out of action by a lever engaging a slotted quadrant upon the handle-bar, but by operation of this lever the tension in the cord is reduced and the springs thus released to carry the blocks to the wheel rim, the rotation of which then causes application of the brake. The levers 5 may be fixed to the quadrants by square sleeves, or the quadrants may be formed with hexagonal bosses to take the levers.

Abstract: 8163. Baker, H. V. April 5. Folding vehicles.-A folding perambulafor of the type in which the wheel supports are adapted to fold inwardly, is so arranged that the ocupant faces the propelling-handle. To the frame C are pivoted at one end the seat frame, at the other end the propelling-handle e, and between them a U-shaped member B which supports the side rails d of the seat and serves to retain in the unfolded position the side springs A carrying the wheels. Pivoted struts F connect brackets h on the lower part of the member B to similar brackets on the handle e, so that, when the handle is folded, the member B and the seat frame are also folded. To avoid a dead-centre action between the struts F and the member B in the initial stage of the unfolding, a fitting may be secured to each side of the frame C at k so as to form a fulcrum for the corresponding strut F. The wheels may be folded automatically under the body by means such as are described in Specification 24,233/09, and the arrangement of the folding seat parts may be as described in Specification 18,555/08.

Abstract: 9295. Allingham, H. W. April 16. Driving and like chains with separate joint pins.-Bushes for the joint-pins 3, Figs. 1 and 2, of driving-chains are so formed that one portion 18 of the bush completely surrounds the pin 3 and is fixed in a correspondingly-shaped orifice in a link member, while another portion 19 projects at one or both sides of the first portion and only partly surrounds the joint pins. The outside edges of the projecting portions 19, 20 are preferably cut away or chamfered slightly in order to prevent these edges from touching the adjacent link plates. Where multi-plate links are employed, the projecting portions of the bushes may fit in correspondingly-shaped orifices in some of the plates forming a link while the circular portions are tightlv fitted in other plates of the link. In a modification, Fig. 5, in which each member consists of a single plate, only three bushes are required for one joint-pin, the bushes 18 being arranged as shown.

Moulding-machines.-The false flask of a moulding-machine is arranged below the flask, and the strippers &c. are arranged to remain with the pattern during ramming, to rise during drawing, and to fall immediately afterwards. The flask 37 and false flask 33 are carried by a frame 19 constantly pressed upwards by a piston 17 and limited by an adjustable stop. A plate 20 working in a bored chamber in the frame 19 carries the strippers &c. and has pins 21 which pass through holes in a rotary plate 23 and in the frame 19. The flasks are charged with sand and pressed by the head 41, which forces them down over the fixed patterns 31 till the plate 23 is below the ends of the pins 21 and rotates under the action of a spring into the position shown in Fig. 3. On the head being withdrawn, the piston 17 raises the flasks and the strippers &c., as the pins 21 are not opposite the holes in the rising plate 23. After the flask is drawn, the plate 23 is moved by a handle, to its original position, and the plate 20 &c. falls into its original position, Fig. 2. The flask is replaced by another, and the machine is ready for the next charge. In a modification, Fig. 11, the plate 20 is carried by a slide 44 in the piston 17, and when this latter moves down during ramming, a cam 49, Fig. 13, is moved out of its recess in the slide 44 by a spring 53, so that on the return of the piston 17 during drawing, the strippers &c. also rise. At the top of the movement, a stop 54 trips the cam, and the strippers fall. The lever for turning the plate 23 in the first modification may be arranged to be operated automatically. The machine is operated by hydraulic power, compressed air, &c.
