Title: Improved Means for Electrically Controlling Valves.
Inventor: LUX FRIEDRICH
IPC: F16K31/10
Filed: 1910-02-15
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 3697. Lux, F. Feb. 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Actuating valves and cocks. - Relates to electrical means for operating one or more valves at a distance by the selective action of interrupted or alternating currents of different periods, a single circuit being used. The ball valve D, which closes the inlet C, is opened by the arm E of a T-shaped lever E, F, G. The arms F, G carry the armatures f<1>, g<1> of electro - magnets H, I. Above the magnets are two tongues K, L supported on insulators a<2>, Fig. 2. The tongues K, L vibrate with different periods, and are set in motion by an alternating or interrupted current of a particular frequency in the coils H, I. A conducting T-shaped lever M, N, O is pivoted above the tongues K, L, and oscillates between stops R, S connected by wires to the wires P, Q leading to and from the magnets. The lever M, N, 0 is also connected by a wire to the magnets. To open the valve, a current of the proper frequency is sent through the coils, whereby the tongue K is set in vibration, the tongue L remaining stationary. The movement of the tongue K tilts the lever M, N, 0 to the right, whereby the coil H becomes short - circuited, a part of the current passing through the shunt P<1>, while the full current passes through the coil I. The armature g<1> is thus attracted and the valve D opened. To close the valve a current of such a frequency as to cause the tongue L to vibrate is sent through the coils. The lever M, N, 0 is thus tilted against the stop S, and only a part of the current passes through the coil I. The apparatus may also he utilized for operating a number of valves.

Disk recording-apparatus. - Apparatus for recording the state of motion of a vehicle, and for recording when the casing is opened and closed, consists of a pendulum r, shaped as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, the casing being arranged so that the pivot s is at the top. The pendulum carries a marker w by means of a spring depressed arm x, Fig. 2, pivoted to the pendulum at y. The record disk 15 is printed on both sides with hours arranged in reverse fashion and is placed over a carbon sheet, the whole being clamped to a plate 13 carried on the hour arbor of the clock by means of a disk 16 and a nut 17. Movement of the vehicle is thus shown by a series of approximately radial lines. The apparatus for recording the time of opening the casing consists of a lever g, Figs. 1 and 3, pivoted at h and provided with a recording point l, which is pressed into a groove 14 formed in the disk 14 by the bevelled end e of the bolt of the lock d when the lock is operated to open the door or to lock it. A spring i forces the lever away from the record disk when it is not engaged by the bolt. In Figs. 4, 5, and 6 is shown a device for causing the pencil to move along a radial path. The arm x is carried by a horse - shoe piece 23 pivoted at 24 to an extension 27 of the pendulum. An arm 25 carried by the piece 23 passes through a guide 26 carried by the casing. The movement of the recording-point is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 6.

Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 20,480. Dugge, W. Sept. 15. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Locking-apparatus. - In a lock for bicycles motor-cycles, &c., a brake 14 is applied by a part turn of a removable handle 6, which is in the form of a key adapted to turn a cylinder 2 carrying an eccentric pin 3 bearing upon the upper end of the brake-rod 11. The pin 3 engages a cylindrical portion 4 of the other handle 5, so that, when the brake has been applied, this handle is in a raised or conspicuous position. To set the brake, the handle 6 is turned until a pin 10 engaging a slot in the handle-bar 1 comes opposite to an horizontal portion of the slot; the pin together with the cylinder 2 is then pressed for a short distance to the right by a spring 8, and a longitudinal slot 16 in the handle is in alinement with a pin 17, so that the handle may be withdrawn from the handle-bar. The parts are restored to normal position by inserting the handle 6, pressing the cylinder 2 inwards till the pin 10 reaches the circumferential portion of its slot, and then giving the handle a part turn; the pin 17 is then in engagement with a circumferential slot 15 in the handle. With curved handle-bars the cylinders 2, 4 may be tapered at the middle or they may comprise two separate parts connected by springs or flexible shafts. The rod 11 may be bent at its lower end to bear upon the wheel rim, a lug or projection being provided thereon to prevent movement of the wheel. The rod 11 need not, however, be the brake-rod, but may be adapted to bear at its lower end upon the pad of a brake disposed in front of the head; the rod 11 may, moreover, have a projection or nose which, if the handlebar be turned after the brake has been applied, bears upon a nipple carried by the handle-bar stem and presses it outwards into engagement with a slot in the head. As shown in Fig. 1, the cylinder 2 has pins 7 to be engaged by corresponding holes in the removable handle; other means for effecting a connexion between these parts may, however, be used.
