Title: An Improved Plant for Obtaining Broken Stone Ballast.
IPC: B02C13/20
Filed: 1911-08-12
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 18,316. Drouard FrÞres. Aug. 13, 1910, [Convention date]. Foundations.-Relates to portable plant for obtaining broken stone ballast and comprises an excavator, screens, a stone-breaking machine for breaking large pieces, means for washing the sand &c. from the stones. means for delivering the broken material from t h e breakers and the small stones together into one set of wagons, means for draining the sand and delivering it to a second set of wagons, and means for returning the water to the cutting. The material is dredged by a bucket-chain 1 and falls through a shoot 2 to a rotary screen 3 the large pieces from which fall into a stone-breaker 4. Water is supplied to the interior of the screen. The washed material passipg through the screen passes to a rotary screen 8, through which the sand only passes, this screen also having an internal water supply. The broken stones from the breaker 4 and the stones from the screen 8 fall together into wagons on a track 6 and mix therein. The sand and water from the screen 8 pass through a shoot 9 to a draining-vessel 10, from which the water passes back to the cutting, while the sand is raised by a chain of perforated buckets 11 to a conveyer 12 and falls into wagons on a track 13. In the form shown, the whole plant is movable on a track 50, and the various parts may be driven by steam, petrol, or gas engines, or electric motors may be used, in which case the plant may carry its own generator. A floating dredger may be used and the sand and ballast discharged into two boats. In a modification, the screens 3, 8 are replaced by a single rotary screen having holes of two different sizes. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the subjectmatter of the divided Specification 1080/12, [Class 46, Filtering &c.], according to which the draining-vessel 10 is divided into inner and outer chambers by a perforated partition, the sand being deposited in the inner chamber and removed therefrom by a bucket-drain, while the water and dissolved matter pass into the outer chamber and are discharged. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 26,155. Hedendahl, T. A. Jan. 16, [Convention date]. Fluid-pressure.-A valve device for automatically retaining a certain degree of pressure in the brake cylinders of fluid-pressure brakes of railway trains, so that the auxiliary reservoirs may be recharged without releasing the brakes, is constructed so that the degree of pressure retained is directly proportional to the increase in train-pipe pressure. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a valve 9 controls the exhaust 4 from the triple valve and is connected to a diaphragm 8, which is subjected at the lower side to brake-cylinder pressure from the exhaust 4 and to the pressure of a spring 13, and at the upper side to the pressure in the train-pipe 6. A cock 12 is provided for giving a free exhaust when desired. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the spring is dispensed with, and differential diaphragms 16, 17 are used, the space between the diaphragms being open to atmosphere. In a modification, the diaphragms are replaced by differential pistons; and in another form, the valve device is arranged in the cap of the triple valve.

Title: Improvements in the Means of Elastically Supporting the Bodies of Motor Vehicles.
IPC: B60G11/34
Filed: 1912-07-23
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 17,101. Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co., and Remington, A. A. July 23. Springs, arrangement of and mounting bodies on; equalizing load on wheels and springs.- The bodies of motor-vehicles are mounted on the front axle by a system of springs which ensures a substantially lower rolling periodicity between the body and axle than the periodicity under vertical movements thereof, and such an arrangement for the front axle may be combined with the suspension devices described in Specifications 16,879/11 and 1886/12 for the rear axle. Fig. 1 shows one form, in which the body is mounted on the usual side springs D, and is further connected with the centre of the axle through a helical spring B, which is preferably of quicker periodicity than the side springs, and has considerably less lateral than vertical stability. When both wheels are raised or lowered so that the movement of the axle is a single vertical one, the spring B of quicker periodicity comes more fully into play than when a rolling movement occurs between the body and axle due to one wheel only being raised or lowered. In modifications, the helical spring is replaced by a transverse or longitudinal leaf spring pivoted to the centre of the axle and connected to the body.

Abstract: 557. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T., (acting for Western Electric Co.)]. Jan. 8. Terminals.-For making a soldered connexion to electric apparatus, for example an electromagnet, a terminal 7 punched from sheet metal and formed with an extension 8 is mounted upon the spool head 1 and one of the ends 13 of the magnet coil is wound round the terminal and soldered thereto. The terminal is connected to the external circuit by passing a lead through the slot 14 and soldering it. To mount the terminal, the spool head is formed with a rectangular slot and the metal at two opposite sides of the slot is bent upwards, as shown at 3, 4. The slot is covered above by a perforated rectangular piece of insulation 5 and filled by a second perforated rectangular piece 6 which is positioned by the upturned ends 3, 4, the two pieces of insulation being disposed in the form of a cross. A metal eyelet 12 passes through the insulating-pieces and through the terminal and clamps the terminal firmly upon the spool head. The terminal 7 is formed with a depending lug 10 which enters a recess in the insulation 5. An arrangement is described also for mounting two terminals side by side in which the spool head is bulged outwards in the form of a rectangle and slotted so as to leave an upwardly-projecting separating-piece between the slots.

The apparatus is suitable for use as an extraction-pump for steam condensers and for pumping hot water &c. From the inlet 25, the fluid flows through an auxiliary pump wheel 9, guide passages 27, and a chamber 31 to the primary pump wheel 2 which delivers the fluid to a turbine 5 driving the wheel 9 and discharging through guide passages 32 which alternate with the passages 27 and communicate with the outlet chamber 33. The primary wheel 2 is secured to a driven shaft 1 ; the connected members 5, 9 may be mounted on a stationary spindle 11 lubricated by ducts 17, 18 and fitted with a thrust bearing 16. Curved plates 29, 30, secured either to the stator or the rotor, may be used to guide the fluid from the wheel 9 to the passages 27. The fluid may, alternatively, enter the primary wheel from the suction pipe, and flow successively through the turbine, one set of guide passages, the auxiliary wheel, a second intersecting set of guide passages, and thence to the outlet.

The inner ends of the springs are secured to adjustable clips g similar to those used for the springs d, and their outer ends are passed through the levers h, which turn on the member b<1> between collars h<1>. As a further alternative, helical or plate springs may be arranged between the body and lugs rigidly secured to the member b<1>. The front end of the body is suspended from the front cross-member by two springs j acting both in tension and compression so as to absorb the rebound. Pins or bolts attached to the body may pass through holes in the front cross-member and springs may be arranged around the pins above and below the cross-member. The inside tube of the frame is extended forwardly and bent to form a connexion to the cycle, and an additional stay may extend from the centre of the rear cross-member b<1> through a slot in the side of the body to a point near the saddle.
