Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 26,091. Burby, J. M. Nov. 9. Steam-traps.-A float 4 in an L-shaped chamber 1 is attached to an arm of a rocking shaft, which passes through a bearing in the side of the chamber, and carries a two-armed lever 9 with a counterweight 23. The lever 9 is adjustably linked at 18 to a lever 17, connected to a valve 11 in the outlet pipe 15. The apparatus is arranged so that the level of the water in the casing, which is indicated by a gauge 22, is always above that of the inlet 2, thus closing the steam-pipe 3 by a water-seal. A pin inserted in any of several holes in a guide c limits the movement of the lever 17 and the opening of the valve, and may be removed to allow the valve to be opened by hand to discharge sediment from the casing. In a modification, lost motion is allowed between the lever 17 and screws set adjustably in a loop on the valve stem.

Abstract: 3756. McKenna, T., [Ellis, A. J.]. Feb. 14. Fire-resisting doors.- The joints between stiles, rails, panel mouldings, and stiffening-members of metallic fire-proof doors consist of interlocking grooved flanges formed by bending and folding the various members. The stiles 5 are bent, as shown in Fig. 6, to form two pairs of grooves, one pair for engagement with the flanges of a channelsection stiffening-member 12, the other pair engaging the flanged ends 16, 17 of the rails 4. The joints between the panel mouldings 22, stiffening-members 21, and stiles or rails are of the same construction. Notches 34 are cut in the edges of the stiles and rails to expose the flanges of the stiffening- members 12, 21, so that the stiles, rails, and stiffening - members may be welded together. The top and bottom of the door are closed by cover-plates 19 and stiffening-members 18 joined to the rails by means of interlocking grooved flanges as described above, the members 18, 19 being spaced apart by bolts 20. The moulding for receiving the upper panel, which is of glass, comprises a main part secured to the stiles and rails as in the case of the lower panel moulding 22, and formed with a rabbeted portion to receive the glass, which is secured by means of an auxiliary moulding 30, sprung into a groove in the main moulding and held by the engagement of a bead 32 on the auxiliary with a groove 29 on the main moulding. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, a panel 25<1>, of substantially the same size as the aperture between the rails and stiles, is used.

Title: Improvements in Check Locks for Power Worked Systems of Railway Signalling.
IPC: B61L19/16
Filed: 1911-03-16
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 6628. Siemens Bros. & Co., Scourfield, W. E., and Wheeler, J. A. March 16. Hand-levers, interlocking. - Check locks in which the locking-device is mechanically moved into locking position by the movement of the lever, and moved from the locking position electrically, are provided with positive means for locking the check-lock in the locking position. The invention is described with reference to the check-lock described in Specification 26,985/06, and the armatures f, g of magnets d, e are now made separate and pivoted on a pin i, on which also turns a link 1 pivoted at the other end to a nut 2 on the rod k. This link carries a lug 3 adapted to engage extensions 4, 4<1> of armatures f, g, the movement of which is limited by tail-pieces 5. The armatures also carry projections 6, 6<1> adapted to engage concave washers 7, 7<1> on the rod k. When the points or signal lever is pulled the rod b is raised and the bent portion of the plate o engages the lug m and pushes the rod k to the right and brings the lug m into the slot n so that the lever movement cannot be completed. The parts now move from the normal position of Fig. 1 to that of Fig. 2 in which the projections 6, 6<1> engage the washers 7, 7<1> to positively lock the check-lock rod k. When magnet e is energized the armature g rises to disengage the projection 6' and the extension 4' strikes, the lug 3 to move the rod k further to the right, thus withdrawing the lug m from the slot n and allowing completion of the lever movement, whereon the magnet e is de-energized and its armature falls, the final position being shown in Fig. 4. For a reverse movement a similar series of operations occurs, but in the opposite direction.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Braiding and like Machines.
Inventor: WARDWELL SIMON WILLARD
IPC: D04C3/38
Filed: 1911-07-29
Granted: 1912-07-25
Abstract: 17,371. Wardwell, S. W. July 29. Braiding - machines.- Relates to stop - motion actuating-mechanism carried by the supply-holders of the machine described in Specification 13,121/11 and acted on by the failure or stoppage of the yarn supply. Fig. 2 is an underside view of a supply-holder of the lower tier. A sliding feelerrod 48 is caused to project into the path of stopping-devices by a spring 45 acting on the lower arm 44 of the thread-tension member 39. The same result is obtained when the tension becomes excessive owing to the yarn being prevented from delivering freely. In this case, the member 39 is rotated until a second arm 43 releases the detent 83. If this fails to relieve the tension by allowing delivery of fresh yarn, the detent 33 is pressed back further and rotates the arm 64 of a lever 61 connected by a hooked end to the rod 48. The upper supplies also carry feeler-rods, which when projected after failure or stoppage of the yarn supply engage levers 30 and depress bell-cranks 25 into the path of stopping-devices. Specification 16,430/11 is also referred to.

Abstract: 7915. Lodge, L., and Derbyshire, W. C. April 2. Mules.-Means are provided under the control of the mule carriage for giving a variation of speed to the draw rollers during the outward traverse of the carriage. The carriage 4, Fig. 1, is connected to a chain or rope 5, which passes round a guide-pulley 6 and a pulley 7 keyed on a shaft 8. The pulley 7, Fig. 2, is slidable along the shaft 8 and has clutch faces 7<1>, 7<2> adapted to engage one or other of the clutches 16<1>, 71<1>, which are connected to sprocket-wheels 16, 17, driving sprocket-wheels of different sizes on a countershaft 20, from which a drive is arranged to the rollers 2, 3. As the carriage commences the outward run, the wheel 7 is in engagement with and drives the wheel 16; after an interval a projection on the carriage engages a collar 15<1> on a rod 13, which is connected through a lever to the wheel 7, so that any longitudinal movement of the rod causes a movement of the wheel 7 along its shaft. The wheel 7 is thus moved into engagement with and drives the other sprocket-wheel 17. Near the end of the traverse the projection on the carriage engages a lever 15<3>, the other arm of which engages a projection 15 on the rod 13, moving the rod in the opposite direction sufficiently to move the wheel 7 out of engagement with both of the wheels 16, 17 and thus to bring the rollers to rest. On the return journey the projection on the carriage passes under the lever 15<3> and collar 15<1> without operating the rod 13, and finally engages a collar 15<2> moving the rod 13 still further and bringing the wheel 7 into engagement with the wheel 16 again. To prevent rotation of the wheels 16, 17 when they are not in engagement with the wheel 7, ratchet bosses 16<2>, 17<2> and pawls 24, 25 are provided.
