Title: Improved Mechanism for Transforming Rotary Motion into Reciprocating Motion.
Inventor: FEIDT JOSEPH
IPC: F16H19/04
Filed: 1910-02-09
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 3213. Feidt, J. Feb. 9. [Addition to 3212/10.] Rack-and-pinion actuated pumps.-In rack- and-pinion devices of the kind described in the parent Specification, for converting rotary into reciprocating motion for driving pumps &c., the frame constituting the reciprocating member is formed with two symmetricallydisposed rack portions and is provided with means causing transverse displacement at each end of the stroke. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the pinion 2 drives a rack frame 3 mounted between transverse guides A on a reciprocatory slide-block 4, which is connected by a rod 5 to a crank on a second shaft 6. As the connecting-rod 5 oscillates, a forked arm 7 thereon operates a slide plate 9 with camslots 10, whereby the rack frame 3 is moved transversely at each end of its reciprocation to bring the upper and lower racks alternately into engagement with the rotary pinion 2. A modified arrangement is shown as means for converting the rotary motion of the shaft 6 into reciprocatory motion of pump pistons working in a pair of cylinders 25. In this case, the pinion 15 engages alternately a pair of partly straight, partly segmental racks 16<a> formed on the inner edges of a frame 16 mounted as before between transverse guides on the reciprocatory member 17. The form of the racks causes the frame to move transversely at each end of the stroke, parallelism being maintained by means of levers 20, 21, which are mounted on pivots 22, 23 on the slide 17, being pivoted together at 24 and connected to the frame by links 18, 19. To guide the frame 16 during its longitudinal movement, a rib 27 thereon bears between three rollers 31 carried by a rotatable disk 28 mounted on the bedplate 30, the disk being progressively rotated through angles of 60 degrees by the transverse movement of the frame at each end of the stroke.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Driving Mechanism for Motor Road Vehicles.
Inventor: DENT CHARLES HENRY
IPC: F16H9/06
Filed: 1910-03-04
Granted: 1911-03-06
Abstract: 5453. Dent, C. H. March 4. Controlling variable-feed gearing.-Relates to devices for preventing damage due to careless operation of the belt-shifting devices of variablespeed gears for motor-vehicles, such, for instance, as are described in Specification 8116/05. As shown in that Specification, the belt on the stepped cone 11 is operated by a fork 2, which is operated by an auxiliary belt actuated by a fork 7. The driver starts the main belt moving by placing the auxiliary belt on one of the oppositely-rotating pulleys 8, 10. A roller 2<1> on the fork 2 engages surfaces 14 carried by a rocking shaft 13, until the next speed is obtained, whereupon the roller 2<1> enters a gap between two surfaces 14, and the rocking shaft is returned to its central position by springs, and moves the auxiliary belt on to the loose pulley 9. According to the present invention, a lug 1 is formed on the fork 2, and, if the driver has not released the operating-lever, this lug engages lugs 3 or 3<1> on a sliding rod 4 linked to the fork 7 and positively moves the auxiliary belt on to the loose pulley 9.

Abstract: 7582. Gore, R. C. March 29. Aerial machines witho u t aerostats; aeroplanes; propelling. - An aerial machine is raised by flapping wings arranged symmetrically in groups having equal lifting - powers; by inclining the axes of the wings they may forwardly propel the machine. As shown, the machine is provided with three pairs of wings, the medial pair 25 rising when the front and rear wings 24, 26 are descending and vice versa. The wings are operated from a multicylinder engine through the linkage shown, the medial wings having two links 29 connected to the reciprocating cross-head 15, while each of the outside wings is provided with a link 33 on one side only. The rotating crank - wheel 17 is toothed and drives an horizontal propeller shaft 21 provided with a clutch 22. The side frames of the wings are connected together by tie-rods which are rotatable in ball bearings and carry shutters adapted to close on the down-stroke and to open to a limited extent on the up-stroke. The distance between the tie-rods increases towards the free edge of the wing. A set of vibrating supporting- planes arranged over the machine are operated by the wings 25. These comprise two planes B pivoted to the wings 25 and rock bars 50 connected to the frame member 3, and two fin planes 60 pivoted to the planes B and to a rib 63 carrying a hood 65. When the wings 25 are at the lowest point of their stroke the fin planes 60 are horizontal and the space between them is closed by the hood. On the up-stroke of the wings 25 the hood rises and the air under the planes 60 is able to escape through the space between them. A rear vertical rudder 45 is provided.

Title: Improvements in the Production of Yeast.
Inventor: HANS BRAASCH
IPC: C12N1/18
Filed: 1910-03-29
Abstract: 7640. Braasch, H. March 31, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Yeast.-In the process of producing yeast with continuous aeration, instead of lessening the amount of air at the beginning and end of the process, the full amount of air is introduced during the whole process. The effect of the aeration is increased by opposing a counter pressure to the issuing gas, either by increasing the depth of the tun to about 4-5 metres, or by closing the tun and providing it with safety valves. To eliminate the carbon dioxide when a closed tun is used, the tun is completely filled with wort, and the wort that escapes through the safety-valve is returned by a pump to the bottom of the tun.

Abstract: 7293. Moores, H. T. March 23. Moving-chamber apparatus with open chambers; varying quantity measured.-A measuring-chamber 9 mounted on a liquid-supply pipe 2 is tilted to one or more delivery positions so that different quantities may be discharged through the outlet 12. The bottom of the chamber slopes so that, as the chamber is tilted, the liquid level remains above the lower end of the pipe 2 while the liquid is being delivered. When the chamber returns to its normal position, the lower end of the pipe 2 is uncovered, and more liquid flows in. If the chamber, which may have glass sides, is tilted sufficiently, a free flow is obtained. Further tilting causes a pin 17 to close a lid 16 on the end of the pipe 2, as, for instance, when the supply vessel is being filled. Springs 20 allow the chamber to be pulled forward so that the stop 18 on the chamber may pass the stop 19 or the pipe 2, these stops fixing the normal position of the chamber when delivering a measured quantity.

Cylinder machines. - A travelling - cylinder printing - machine is so constructed that the sheets are arranged to be delivered automatically after printing by slipping out of the machine, the front stop which normally holds them in place being actuated by the movement of the impression cylinder. As shown in Fig. 1, the sheets are held in printing position by a stop-bar 4 normally raised by a spring, but, when the impression roller 5, which prints in both directions, reaches its lowest position, cams 7 on the shaft of the cylinder depress the bar 4 and permit the printed sheet to drop, and, when the impression roller is in its highest position, cams 8 on the shaft bear on levers 9, which then depress the bar 4. In a modification, Fig. 3, the bar 4 is depressed in the downward movement of the roller 5 by the action of its shaft 10 on spring-controlled movable cams 12 on the arms 9, the cams being so arranged in connexion with stops 16 that they can yield as the roller 5 returns. The shaft 10 then acts on similar cams 11 to depress the bar 4, and the sheet in either case drops into a box 18.

Steam now passes from the space a to the space c and thence to the reservoir, forcing water into the mixing-chamber v and out into the overflow l past the valve r. Further movement of the wheel opens the nozzle d and closes the overflow by the valve t and the hot water supplied to the mixing- chamber v is forced into the boiler. With a continuously working injector, an alarm may be fitted in the reservoirs to give warning when it is full or empty.
