Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 6159. Noel, J. A. March 11. [Addition to 23,155/08.] Locking by frictional detents.-Mining and street trams, and road and other vehicles of the kind described in the parent Specification are provided with wheel-locking brakes operated by centrifugal action or by hand. As shown, the catch H on the wheel, when moved outwards under centrifugal action, strikes a projection 7 on the brake device and causes one or other of the brake blocks 4 to turn about the pivot 8 until the line through the centres 11, 8 is passed. During this movement the internal springs 5 are compressed until the line of centres 11, 8 is passed, when the springs are somewhat released. A spring-pressed pawl 15 locks the device off, and a handle 12 enables it to be operated manually. Instead of providing one spring for each brake block, a single spring may be arranged to act on both blocks. By arranging four blocks on the brake device, two adjacent wheels may be braked at each side of the vehicle. The device may have claws engaging the sides of the wheel so as to ensure the blocks always being in the plane of the wheel. The catches H may be spring- controlled to cause them to act together.

Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 487. Rotoplunge Pump Co., and Vincent, W. J. Jan. 7. Clutches.-Reversible epicyclic gearing is combined with a variable hydraulic clutch of the type comprising a rotary pump delivering liquid to its own suction through a regulating-valve, such as the clutch described in Specification 26,754/09. A driving-shaft 1 carries a toothed pinion 3, Fig. 1, and also a member 2, Fig. 2, with radial pump cylinders 5. The member 2 touches one side of a casing 4, the rest of the space in which is divided by the regulating- valve 9. Pistons 6 are connected to pins 7 which are carried around in eccentric grooves 8, the effect being a circulation of liquid through the valve 9. The pinion 3 meshes with a gear 17, Fig. 5, on a shaft 18 carried by the casing 4. A gear 19 on the shaft 18 meshes with a gear 20 on a second planetary shaft 21. A gear 11 slidable on a squared part of a driven shaft 10 may be slid into mesh with the gear 19 or with a gear 22 on the shaft 21. In the configuration shown in Fig. 1, forward speeds are effected by gradually applying the clutch, and alternatively by applying a brake 23 to the casing 4.

Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 8890. Hathorn, Davey, & Co., and Towler, J. A. April 10. Regulating delivery by by-passes. - Controlling-gear for electrically-driven hydraulic pumps has means for automatically opening a by-pass valve when the motor is being started or stopped. In Fig. 1, the hydraulic accumulator P is shown fitted with inclined projections A, B situated on opposite sides of a vertical rocking shaft C, and engaging with arms C', so that when the accumulator descends the projection A rocks the shaft C', the projection B operating when the accumulator ascends. The rocking of the shaft C operates a slide valve D by means of an eccentric D'. The valve is connected bv pipes with the suction and discharge pipes D<5>, D<3> and the starting-valve F<2> as shown. The control gear shown in Fig. 3 consists of two plungers G, G' working in cylinders and connected by means of a cross-head H and links to a rocking arm H<1>. On opening the valve F<2> the cylinder F is put into communication with the main D<3> by the pipe E, and the cylinder F<1> communicates with the main D<3> by the pipe H<5>. Both rams G, G' thus move to the left, and the pin H<2> operates the slide valve K'. Meanwhile, the motor controller J is operated by the rods H<6>, H<7>, J' so that the motor is running at full power just before the valve K' is moved. When the valve K' moves to the left, the high-pressure port K<2> is put into communication with the port K<3>, pipe K<5>, and by-pass valve L, which is thereby closed, so that the pumps deliver to the accumulator. When the projection B operates the rocking shaft C, the pipe E communicates with the suction main D<5>, the rams G, G<1> move to the right, and the pressure in the valve chamber K<6> moves the valve K<1> to the right, so that the pipe K<5> communicates the suction main through the ports K<3>, K<7>, and the by-pass valve L is thus opened.

Retort furnaces. - The flues of vertical gas retorts are arranged so that the maximum heat is applied at a position between the ends of the retorts. In the arrangement of the flnes shown in Fig. 1, gas passes from a flue 3 to burners 4, controlled by loose damper bricks 4<b>, and meets secondary air supplied through ports 4<a>. The gases pass downwardly between partitions 12, which may be perforated, to a flue 5 controlled, if desired, by dampers 6 and then pass upwardly through a flue 7 to a tortuous flue 9 controlled by a damper 8, finally escaping by a flue 10 leading to a regenerator. In the modification shown in Figs. 3, 5, and 6, gas from a producer 14 passes through flues 3 to burners 4, where it mixes with secondary air which enters a flue 15 surrounding ribbed extensions 16 of the retorts and passes to a regenerator 17 leading to flues 18 having delivery orifices 19. The combustion products pass upwardly through flues 22, controlled by dampers 23, to the chamber 24 and thence to the wastegas passages of the regenerator and the main flue 25. The descending stream of heating-gases, after passing the dampers 6, ascends a flue 7 and enters the chamber 24 leading to the regenerator and main flue 25. Primary air for the producer 14 enters the flue 20 surrounding the extension 16 of the retort and passes through the flues 21 to the producer.

Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 3098. Corwin, E. R. Feb. 7. Intercommunication systems are provided with keys 10 at each station for selecting the desired line and a key 16 for testing if the line is busy, for controlling the ringing current, and for completing the speaking circuits. The key 16 is controlled by a magnet 13 for preventing improper connexions, and is provided with a notch 28 which allows the actuation of a selecting-key 10 only when the key 16 is in its normal position. Fig. 1 shows station A connected to station B, and station C also trying to connect to station B. When the key 16 at station C reaches the position shown, the test circuit is completed from the battery 1 over the lead 3, magnet 13, contacts 12, 11 and 9, 8 at station C, lead 7, switch hook 5 at station B, transmitter 4, and back to the battery. The energizing of the magnet 13 causes the armature 14 to enter the slot 17 and lock the key 16 against further movement. If the station B were not engaged the further depression of key 16 would close contacts 12, 24 and 22, 23 as at station A The armature 14 now enters the notch 18, but further movement of the key is allowed by the notch to close contacts 19, 22 thus supplying ringing current from the battery 20 over contacts 19, 22, 23 and contacts 8, 9 to bell 21 at station B. During conversation, the telephone instruments are connected in parallel across the leads 2, 3, and the receivers are connected in shunt to each other by the selected lead 7 and the contacts 22, 23 at the calling station. When the receiver is hung up at the calling station, the magnet 13 is energized over the contacts 12, 24, thus releasing the key 16. To prevent connexion to any line after the key 16 has passed the testing'position, it is arranged that the bar 27, which is actuated by the depression of a key 10, is locked by the key 16 unless the slot 28 is in its normal position beneath the bar. The depression of a key 10 releases all previously-depressed keys from the bar 27.
