Patent GB-191203740-A (GB)
IPC: B61G3/04
Filed: 1912-02-14
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 3740. Willison, J. Feb. 14. Couplings, automatic.-In couplings of the Janney type, the draught strain is taken by the locking-block a which bears against the coupling-head along two surfaces a<1>, a<2>, the former being substantially parallel to and the latter transverse to and on either side of the line of draught. The surfaces c<2> of the coupler-head against which the snrface a<2> bears comprise a portion above and a portion below the line of draught. The block a is guided vertically by the formation on it of a rib a<3> engaging a groove in the coupler-head, and is raised for uncoupling by a pull-chain attached to the lower end e<1> of a lifter e of which the upper end comes under an arm a<4> on the block t. The lifter e is guided during the first portion of its movement by a projection e<2> engaging a vertical slot c<4> in the coupler-head until the block a is free from the knuckle and tilts by gravity to engage the lock-set ledge d. The lifter e, under a further pull on the chain, turns about a fulcrum formed by a second projection e<3> engaging the top of its guide-slot c<6> and operates the knuckle opener f which turns about a floating fulcrum f<1> within the hollow draw-bar shank, its other end f<2> engaging in a recess b<1> in the knuckle. The opener f in this movement bears against the inclined underside a<5> of the block a, moves the block from the lock - set ledge d, and supports it until the opener is returned by the closing of the knuckle for coupling, when the block falls into locking position.

Abstract: 14,287. Thorp, T., Thorp, F., and Thorp, H. T. June 19. Gas meters.-In an apparatus for recording the time during which gas has been used, the flow and cessation of flow of the gas are used to start and stop a clock mechanism. As shown, a disk E on a rod F is lifted by the flow and raises one end of a lever J the other end of which releases the crutch N of the clock escapement and starts the clock. A diaphragm K surrounds the lever J and prevents the escape of gas. A cone G on the rod F prevents the escape of gas should the diaphragm leak. Knife-edges l support the diaphragm and lever against a high pressure of gas.

Abstract: 28,226. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Dec. 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Combinations of interdependent v a l v e s; safety-valves.-A valve for admitting to t h e cylinder of an internalcombustion engine compressed air for starting is so constructed as to open automatically if the pressure in the cylinder exceeds a certain amount. T h e compressed air is admitted to the underside of a piston d and, overcoming the action of the spring e, closes the ports i by the sleeve g and is admitted through ports h to the interior of the valve c and thence to the cylinder by the lifting of the valve. A light spring m keeps the valve in its seat until the sleeve g abuts against the cap n on the valve stem. If the pressure in the cylinder rises too high. the valve opens against the pressure of the spring c, and the excess of gas is discharged through the ports i to a space which does not communicate with the compressed-air channel.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Methods of and Apparatus for Sintering Metal.
Inventor: WALLING RAYMOND BENJAMIN
IPC: B22F3/105
Filed: 1913-06-26
Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 14,795. Walling, R. B. Oct. 7, 1912, [Convention date]. Electrode furnaces for sintering metals. A rod of metal, such as tungsten, is heated uniformly by the passage of electric current through its entire length in an inert atmosphere, by supporting it at the ends without lateral confinement between two contact-surfaces, which are relatively movable and follow up the contraction of the rod as it sinters. One contact may float in mercury and press the rod against an upper contact, to which current may be supplied by parallel conductors arranged on opposite sides, to avoid bending of the rod. The apparatus shown is applicable for heating a tungsten rod 35, suitable for making filaments. The rod may be made by compressing powdered metal and then heating to 1000‹ C. in hydrogen. An upper contact or electrode 9 of tungsten is clamped between a water-cooled piece 10 mounted on flexible waterconveying pipes 40, and a similar U-shaped piece 11 on pipes 15 which convey current. A lower electrode 18, also of tungsten, is set in a casting which floats in a mercury bath 20, the greatest immersion being determined by a screw 21. The mercury bath is water - cooled, and supported by a casting 24 which forms a terminal. The whole apparatus is mounted on a circular base, and covered when in use by a water-cooled copper hood 2, which is kept filled with hydrogen by pipes 7, 8. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the upward pressure of the floating electrode may be increased by a spring, or by making the casting of magnetic material and surrounding it by a series coil, preferably edge-wound, in the water-jacket cooling the mercury. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
