Title: Improvements in Air Compressors for use in connection with Rock Drills and the like
Filed: 1905-11-21
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 23,992. Lake, H. H., [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. Nov. 21. Compressing. Comprises a form of air-compressor for use in connexion with percussive rock drills &c. in which the tool piston is actuated by reciprocating columns of air. A valved hollow piston 12 is provided with a trunk 13 fitted to slide in the cylinder head 14 which is developed to form a crank casing 15 open to the atmosphere at an aperture 18. A port 21, adapted to be overrun by the piston at each stroke, is connected by a passage fitted with a non-return valve 23- with a port 19 in the cylinder head 20. The delivery port 8 is spaced a short distance from the cylinder end. It will be seen that by this arrangement of ports and valves a partial vacuum is produced at the beginning of one stroke and a corresponding compression at the end of the return stroke, whereby atmospheric air is alternately drawn in and partially compressed until the reciprocating columns of air attain a certain maximum pressure.

Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 24,776. Norton, E. E. Nov. 8. Clutches.-The continuous alternating operation of two phonographs is obtained by a contact on one sound-box energizing a magnet, which starts the other phonograph, and switches to stop either machine after the other has started. Fig. 1 shows a plan of the two machines coupled together, Fig. 2 shows a section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 shows a bottom plan view, and Fig. 4 shows a partial section on line 4-4 of Fig. 2. Each phonograph has a magnet 184, with an armature fixed to a bell-crank lever 187, 186 on a spindle 185 having screws 190, 192 to regulate the travel and held by a spring 189. A parallel spindle 195 carries a yoke 196, which engages a groove 197 on a secondary clutch member 180, and a separating arm 203, bearing against a pawl 204 which, engages teeth 178 of the member 177 of the clutch, the two spindles being connected by arms 198, 199 and a link 200. Each sound-box 158 is travelled by a lug resting on a feed-screw 163 within a tube 160, the feed-screw being driven by spur-gearing from a wheel 164 on a divided shaft 165, the right-hand part of which is constantly rotated by a pulley 175 driven from the usual spring motor which is wound up by a handle 202. A spindle 166 within the shaft 165 carries a member 173 of a main clutch adapted to engage the member 174 attached to the driving-pulley 175, the spindle 166 being secured by a pin 167 to the secondary clutch member 180. On the left-hand portion of the shaft 165, which carries the record, is secured a collar 169 with a spring 172 pressing against the other member 178 of the secondary clutch. To start the device, switches 265, 269 are closed, thus energizing the magnet 184 of the machine 151 from the battery 263. The magnet 184 attracts its armature, thus rotating the bell-crank lever 187, which also rotates the spindle 195, causing the separating arm 203 to remove the pawl 204 from the flat teeth 178 of the clutch member 177, and at the same time the yoke 196 engages the clutch members 177, 180 and also the main clutch members 173, 174, thus rotating the record. At the end of the reproduction, an insulated point 251 on the sound-box, connected with a terminal 287, contacts with a metal stud 253, thus energizing the magnet 184<a> of the machine 150 from the battery 282 and starting the second machine. The switch 269 is opened to stop the machine 151, the sound-box being removed to its initial position and the switch 288 closed to keep the second machine running. When the second reproduction is finished, a circuit at 253<a> is closed, energizing the first magnet 184 from the battery 282.
