Abstract: 19,240. Burrell, W. Aug. 28. Regulating and control-transmitting gear for winding and paying-out apparatus; driving gear.-In a winding-attachment for a capstan, a casing a, shown in plan in Fig. 1, enclosing the gearing is attached to the base or table of the capstan and carries a shaft b, upon which the drum c and the driving-member p are loosely mounted. The drum c is formed with a brake drum d and a clutch member s adapted to be engaged by a clutch member q on the driving-member. The member q is operated by an arm r keyed on a vertical shaft e having an horizontal or T-shaped head formed with two openings o, o<1> in either of which an operating-lever g may be pivotally secured by a pin. In the arrangement shown, the lever g may be swung in an horizontal plane to engage the clutch members, and also about the pivot o to depress a lever n applying a brake l to the drum d. The brake may be retained by anchoring a hooked portion n<1> to the frame. An arm i fast on the shaft e may be locked to a slot u in a second hand - lever h, which is linked by a rod k to the valve j. With the parts secured as shown, the clutch and power supply are operated conjointly by either lever. If the lever h is released from the arm i, the power supply can be operated by the lever h, or the clutch can be first applied by the lever g with a subsequent operation of the valve. The increased traverse of the member p in these circumstances is permitted by the spring mounting f of the drum c. The lever g may be pivoted at o<1> so as to project on the other side of the apparatus. The lever n can be replaced by a foot-operated lever, if preferred.

Title: An Improved Automatic Calender.
Inventor: FENTZAHN FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1911-09-26
Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 21,234. Fentzahn, F. Sept. 26. Calendars comprise day, date, and month indicating - d r u m s mounted on a common shaft and operated through ratchet gearing by the depression of a single lever. The day drum 3, Fig. 2, is driven from the operating-lever 40, pivotally mounted on the common shaft 2, by means of a ratchet-wheel and a pawl carried by an eccentrically pivoted lever. Untoward movement of the drum is prevented by a pawl normally kept depressed by a spring attached to the pawl arm. The date drums 4, 5 are provided with ratchet - wheels 8, 9, Fig. 5, of different diameters and driven by a common pawl 30 connected with the lever 40, transfer being effected by a deep notch as shown. The lever 40 also drives, a tooth at a time, a ratchetwheel 21, Fig. 7, which is mounted between the drum 5 and the months' drum 6. On the months' drum 6 is arranged a series of pins m, Fig. 9, the radial distances of which correspond with the numbers of days in the various months and determine the position of a lever 19. As shown in Figs. 7 and 9, the pin m<8>, corresponding with the month of August, is engaged by the hooked end of the lever 19 pivoted on a loosely mounted bow-piece 18. On the 27th of August, a pin 22 on the face of the ratchetwheel 21 has reached the upper side of a lever 20. At the next actuation, this pin depresses the lever until on the 31st the cam-edge 20<g> of the lever will have sufficiently moved a lever 46 so that its spring-controlled projecting arm 47 engages the lever 19 and forces it to the right. The drum 6 is thus moved to show the next month, and the lever 19 on its return engages the next pin m<9>. The bow 18 carries a notched and bevel-ended part 28 which throws out the pawl 25 and detent 27 to allow the ratchet-wheel 21 to return to its initial position under the influence of a spring. The pin m<2> representing the month of February is automatically moved radially according as the year is a leap one or not by means of a four-lobed cam 16 which is turned once a year by a projection 17 and determines the position of a lever 15 adapted to move a slide carrying the pin m<2>. In order that the date drums shall be reset to unity when the month drum is moved, the ratchet-wheels 8, 9 are provided with pins 89, 90, Fig. 5, adapted to be engaged by a common pawl 88, mounted on a pivoted plate 86 movable by the bow-piece 18 through linkage 70, 69, 71. When the drum passes from a 31-day month, the detent 34 acts on a pin 91 on the ratchetwheel 9 to set back the units' drum 5 to unity. To prevent partial operation only of the lever 40, a full-stroke device is provided comprising a tongue 51, Fig. 9, pivoted on the lever and co-operating with a fixed guide 50. The tongue is controlled by the resilient arms of a fork 52. A counter 92, Fig. 7, shows the year and is operated by a pin 54 on the months' drum 6. The apparatus may be combined with and operated by a clock.

Title: Improvements relating to the Generation of Combustible Gas or Vapour from Liquid Fuel.
Inventor: BIDDLECOMBE FRANK GUY LANG
Filed: 1911-12-23
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 29,021. Biddlecombe, F. G. L. Dec. 23. Vaporizers, external.-In a process for the generation of a combustible gas from heavy liquid hydrocarbon fuel such as paraffin, by which a portion of the fuel is burnt in a limited air supply in order to convert the remainder into gas, the supply of fuel and air is induced into the apparatus by suction due to the withdrawal of the combustible produced. By one method the fuel is supplied by a nozzle 5 from a float chamber 6 and, together with air entering by a flap valve 7, passes down the space 9 between a shell 8 and casing. 1, partial combustion taking place at the. base of the shell 8. This combustion serves to heat the oil passing through the space 9 and convert it into vapour. The air may be admitted through one or more holes of which the size may be varied, instead of through the flap 7, or the air port 7 may be dispensed with and the air introduced through holes at about the position 35. In a further modification, there may be an air port such as 7 together with holes at 35. The combustible products and vapour pass out by a pipe 11. A tray 4, for starting purposes only, is supplied with oil from the float chamber 6 by a pipe 17 and is provided with wicks 19. The tray is suspended by a screw-threaded rod 12, on rotation of which by a handle 15 the tray is lowered until there is an open space between the tray and the bottom of the shell 2. When the wick is ignited an engine drawing off the combustion products begins to run, and the flame produced vaporizes the oil in the passage 9; then the tray is raised, and the wicks therein take no further part in the production of vapour. By another method, the air which is caused to pass over the nozzle is almost immediately separated from the oil and travels to the combustion zone through a passage separate from that taken by the fuel. In this case the air admitted above the nozzle need not be limited, as any air not required to support partial combustion can be abstracted before reaching the combustion zone. This heated air may be mixed with the vapour before entering the combustion chamber of the engine. In the forms described, the fuel and air pass through the outer portion of the generator, and the combustible mixture through the inner portion, but this arrangement may be reversed if desired.

Title: An Automatic Battery Over-discharge Preventer.
Inventor: LEITNER HENRY
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 1912-01-29
Granted: 1913-01-29
Abstract: 2310. Leitner, H. Jan. 29. Systems of charging and discharging galvanic batteries. - In train-lighting or like systems employing an accumulator battery and a dynamo to feed lamps, an electro - magnetic switch having two windings automatically controls the connexion of the battery to the lamps. Both windings must be energized before the connexion can be made, one winding is cut out after making connexion, and the connexion is maintained, while the battery is discharging, by the effect of the remaining winding, the circuit being automatically broken when the battery becomes too weak for further discharge. The automatic action does not affect the connexion of the dynamo to the battery. In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 1, the electromagnetic switch C is combined with a handoperated main switch A, which, when turned from the ' off ' to the ' on ' position, energizes first the winding b, then both windings a and b together, and finally the winding a only, the combined effect of the windings being to close the circuit from the battery B to the lamps E, which circuit is afterwards maintained closed by the winding a until the battery voltage falls to a predetermined minimum. In a modification, the main switch A is replaced by a small control switch, and the contact d is permanently connected to the battery. In further modifications. the temporarily energized winding is cut out electro-magnetically by means of an additional moving armature, or by a separate relay. One such modification, shown in Figs. 4 and 5, employs a switch similar to that described in Specification 20,257/10. The winding a, mounted on a fixed core, and the temporarily energized winding b, mounted on a rotatable core carrying pole-pieces e and a contact n, cooperate to close the battery circuit, and an armatnre g is attracted to cut out the winding b. In another modification, Fig. 3, the device is employed as a relay to control the trip magnet F of an electro-magnetically-released main switch A. The relay magnet has two windings a, b, both of which are energized when the main switch is closed, the winding b being cut out by the movement of an armature k, and the movements of another armature l controlling the circuit of the trip magnet F. In this and other modifications employing two moving armatures, it is arranged that the armature controlling the auxiliary winding remains attracted after the other armature has fallen away. In order to reset the apparatus, the main switch is opened and then closed again. Specification 4702/06 is also referred to.

Abstract: 11,259. Diaz, M. G., and Azarola y Gresillon, A. May 11. [Addition to 14,259/08.] Thermal cut-outs and switches.-In a currentlimiting device of the thermal type comprising a switch-operating diaphragm chamber controlled by heating-resistances placed inside and outside the closed chamber, these resistances and dimming resistances are adapted to be connected in circuit separately, or together, according to the effect required. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a series resistance Rand a shunt resistance R<1> are placed inside a chamber V, and another shunt resistance R<2> is adjustably mounted outside the chamber, the dimming-resistances R<3> being in parallel with the heating - resistances. The main terminals 6, 2 are mounted on the two chambers V, H between which a diaphragm D is secured. A fixed contact B<1> is mounted on a bridge in the chamber V, and another contact C is mounted on the diaphragm D, which is supported by a plate k, against which bears a spring k<1> carried by an adjustable holder z<1>. When the current is excessive, the heat from the series resistance causes the diaphragm to open the switch, so as to open the main circuit, or to insert the dimming-resistances R<3> in circuit. The shunt resistances R<1>, R<2> cause a permanent opening of the switch if the excess current continues for a considerable time. The apparatus may be mounted in a block of porcelain 1. Fig. 2, having a socket 1<b> to receive a support, and a recess for a fuse plug 1<a>. The block is covered by a metal hood 3 on which is mounted an insulating-block 2 having a metal cover 5 containing the dimming-resistance R<3>, and another metal cover 4 acting as a weather guard.

Abstract: 31. Dobeson, J. Jan. 1. Fluid-pressure; force-tramsmitting g mechanism, -In steam brakes for stationary engines, of the type in which a slight depression of the operating-pedal releases the steam under the brake piston and allows a weight to apply the brake, a further application of the brake being obtained by depressing the pedal farther to admit steam above the piston, the supply and exhaust of steam to the brake cylinder is controlled by an ordinary piston slide valve, and means are provided for automatically cutting-off the supply of steam to the top of the brake piston. When the foot-lever B is first depressed, the piston slide valve P is operated to exhaust the underside of the brake piston A through a port X, whereupon the piston A and a spring K interposed in the rods S, D<1> .fall together under the influence of a weight D and bring the brake strap into contact with the sheave through a lever N and shaft M. When the lever B is further depressed, steam is admitted above the piston A and further brake pressure is applied through the spring K. As the spring K becomes compressed, the relative movement between racks E, F, engaging differential bevelwheels H, J and connected respectively to the rods D<1>, S, causes rotation of a bevel-pinion G about the axis of the wheels H, J, thus operating a lever L and turning the pedal lever B<1> about the pedal as fulcrum so as to cut off the supply of steam to the port Y, the pedal being held stationary by the brakesman's foot.
