Abstract: 21,504. Cochran, E. A., Seidenberg, L., and Davis, G. M. Sept. 29. Keyless mechanism. - Relates to keyless mechanism of the kind operated by an in- and - out movement of the stem. The stem 3, passing through a coupling-sleeve 2, engages with a square 12, on which are mounted a handsetting pinion 11 and a winding-clutch 15. The hubs of the pinion and clutch abut against one another, passing through the hollow hub of a winding-pinion 23, which is mounted so as to rotate without end movement in long bearings formed by the upper and lower plates A, B. A differential spring 19, Fig. 1, situated in recesses in the lower plate B, has two arms 21, 20 acting respectively on the clutch 15 and on the hub of the pinion 11 or the end 13 of the member 12, the arm 20 being the stronger of the two. Fig. 2 shows the mechanism with the stem pushed right in to open the watch-case. For winding, the stem is moved outwards a little from this position, the clutch 15 being held in engagement with the pinion 23 by the spring arm 21; further outward movement allows the arm 20 to push the setting-pinion 11 into engagement with an intermediate wheel 6, the hub of the pinion 11 throwing the clutch 15 out of gear with the winding-pinion. To facilitate assembling of the parts &c., the spring arms 20, 21 may be moved by a slidable notched piece 26, disposed in the plate B. In a modification, the setting-pinion 11 is made integral with the winding square 12. Fig. 9 shows a further modification in which the setting-pinion 34 is secured to a rounded extension 33 of the square 32, the clutch and the setting-pinion being acted upon by separate coiled springs 40, 38 respectively. In this case, the clutch may be shifted when the works are out of the watch-case by a split ring inserted in the top plate A, the pin having a notched flanged head adapted to engage with the clutch.

Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 23,548. Schneider et Cie. Dec. 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Torpedoes, locomotive.-Relates to the valve controlling the engine exhaust through the hollow shaft. According to the invention, (1) the seat of the valve is formed in a fixed bearing for the shaft instead of on the shaft itself, and (2) the pressure of the spring or counterweight which normally tends to close the valve is relieved by a centrifugal governor during the running of the engine, so as to reduce the pressure of the exhaust. As shown in the closed position in Fig. 1, the differential exhaust valve piston f is disposed in a fixed bearing w for the hollow shaft b, and the abutment j of the control spring i is connected to a centrifugal governor on the engine shaft c. When the engine is started, the exhaust gases in the chamber m pass through the port l, displace the piston f to the right, and escape through the hollow shaft b; at the same time, the abutment is drawn to the right by the centrifugal governor s so that the pressure of the exhaust required to keep the valve open is reduced. If the displacement of the abutment j by the centrifugal governor is sufficiently large, the spring i may be omitted, the valve-stem g being then connected directly to the abutment j. If desired, the abutment j may be connected as usual to a fixed support k and the centrifugal governor left out altogether.
