Patent GB-190709663-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Apparatus for use in Petrol Lighting.
Inventor: HARSANT HORACE
Filed: 1907-04-25
Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 9663. Harsant, H., and Chalk, J. April 25. Carburetting. - In an automatic apparatus for use in petrol lighting, the bell of an air drum is raised and lowered by a water motor, whereby air is forced through a holder and a carburettor to the burners; the water supply to the motor is controlled by the movement of the bell of the holder. A bell b, Fig. 3, is attached to a piston d working in a casing e to either end of which water is supplied through a disk-valve controlled by a lever C. This lever is automatically operated by a rod A, which is locked in its raised or lowered position by a spring catch y' engaging notches A3 or A'. The rod A carries a piston A' which works between springs B', B<2> in a tube B carried by the air bell. When the lever C is lowered, water enters the casing e through the pipe v<1> and forces the piston d carrying the bell b upwards, thereby compressing the spring B' until a projection y<1> on a rod y carried by the air bell releases the catch y<2> from the notch A', when the spring B' raises the lever C, which admits water to the top of the casing e. A second air bell m, working with the bell b on the principle of a double-acting pump, may be provided. By the action of the bell b, air is drawn through a pipe h and forced through pipes i, s to the holder k, the motion of which controls the water supply through a lever k<3>. The air then passes through pipes s', s<4> to the bottom of a carburettor r, which consists of horizontal shelves r<1>, perforated at alternate ends, and packed with a mixture of plaster, whiting, and sponge saturated with petrol admitted at r<4>. The carburetted air passes to the burners through a pipe r<9>, to which diluting air may be admitted from the pipe s<2>. The valve supplying water to the motor consists of a front disk t having two horizontal holes t<1>, a leather washer having two vertical slots t<4>, a metal disk with four holes t<6>, a leather washer t<7> with similar holes, a metal ring t<8> inside-of which is a metal disk t<9> having two holes t<10> corresponding to two of the holes in the washer t', and similar disks behind the disk t<9> having holes and slots at right-angles to those in the front disks. All the disks are fixed with the exception of the disk t<9>, which is operated by the lever C. The supply and exhaust pipes are applied to the holes t<1> in the front disk, while the pipes v, v<1> are applied to the holes in the rear disk.

Inventor: SPENCER ALEXANDER
IPC: B61D29/00
Filed: 1908-02-19
Granted: 1908-04-30
Abstract: 3779. Spencer, A. Feb. 19. Lighting trains, systems of.-In apparatus for electrically controlling several lights or groups of lights from the guard's van &c., the passage of gas to each burner or group:of burners is controlled by an unpacked slide valve, which is maintained on its seat by the pressure of the gas in the supply main. The slide valve g, held upon its seat by the pressure of the gas in the main c, is connected by its stem h with the armature k of an electro-magnet m. When the armature is attracted and the valve opened, the valve is maintained in its open position by a spring catch n, secured to the armature p of a second electro - magnet o, until this magnet o is energized and the armature and catch are withdrawn. The valve g then falls by gravity and closes the port d. The winding of each electromagnet is connected at one end to a common terminal r, which is earthed, and at the other end to a terminal s or t. The switch u fixed in the guard's van comprises two spring pushes v, w, one contact of each push being connected to one pole of a battery x, the other pole of which is earthed. To enable the parts to be easily assembled and adjusted before being placed in the water-tight box b, the valve-chest a and the electro-magnets m, o are mounted on a plate q. In a modification, the slide valves are each actuated by an electricallyoperated motor of the kind described in Specification No. 13,815, A.D. 1907, in which the spindle of the armature is connected to the valve through mechanism comprising a pin - and - slot or other lost-motion device, whereby the momentum of the rotary armature and attached parts is utilized to actuate the valve rapidly.

Couplings, automatic ; draw-gear. -The hooks and links which constitute the coupling- elements are fixed to shafts controlled by spiral springs, and are uncoupled from the side by a cross-shaft, the rotation of which raises the hook and lowers the link. Each vehicle carries a hook a and link b fixed to separate shafts c, which are mounted so as to slide and rotate in slots e formed in brackets f secured to a bar g on the vehicle. Each shaft is fitted with two pairs of coiled springs d acting in opposite directions so as to retain the hook and link in the coupling position, these springs being connected also to a fixed bar o. Movement of the link b upwards and of the hook a downwards is limited by stop-bars h secured to the brackets f. The hooks and eyes are operated for uncoupling by a shaft i, connected by links k, m, n to the shafts c, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. The springs d are of sufficient strength to take up the pull on the shafts c when starting.

Abstract: 9508. Hegarty, V. May 1. Bobbin, spool, &c. holders and cases.- In a receptacle for holding a number of perforated strips of postage stamps, adhesive labels, &c., each of the perforated strips 25, Fig. 2, is guided by a cotton or like band 31, which is secured to the peripheries of rollers 26, 27, the strip being wound on the roller 26 between the coils of the guide-band 31. The rollers 26, 27 are under the control of internal spiral springs, which keep the band 31 under tension. The strip 25 is wound into or out of the receptacle by turning rollers 1, 7, which are pressed together by springs 11 and are so mounted that the friction in their bearings is sufficient to prevent the spring-controlled rollers 26, 27 from winding back. A pivoted guide 9 serves to keep the strip 25 in its proper position on the band 31. The inner end of the strip 25 is secured to the band 31 by a thin piece of metal, which is stitched at one edge to the band 31 and has at its opposite edge teeth adapted to pierce the paper strip and guideband. To prevent the band 31 from being torn off the roller 26 due to overwinding of the rollers 1, 7, the roller 26 is provided with a Geneva-stop device 32, 34, Fig. 4, the last notch in the disk 34 being so arranged that, when the roller 26 becomes locked, a part of the band 31 is still wound upon it. The delivery slot is covered by two pieces of metal 37, 38, one of which is hinged so that it may be turned back to permit access to the rollers 1, 7. The key for turning the rollers 1, 7 may be removed, and the rollers may be locked by a piece which prevents them from rotating.
