Title: System of Point Shifting Mechanism for Railways or Tramways, Worked from the Locomotive or the Car by Means of Electricity.
Inventor: PIACANI EUGENIO
IPC: B61L11/00
Filed: 1910-10-22
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 24,524. Piacani, E., Pacini, O., and Capellano, A. Oct. 22. Electrically operated from vehicle.-Relates to means for operating from the cars the track points of electric railways and tramways. The arrangement comprises an insulated portion q of the overhead conductor, connected to the main portion t through a distributing-device f, by which one or other of the electro-magnets a are thrown into circuit for operating the points. The distributor f comprises a solenoid b energized every time a collector takes current from the portion q, and adapted, when energized, to pull the core i downwards until it binds the key h, and simultaneously to pull the inner core i<1> to the end of its travel within the main core. The inner core is formed with an air passage controlled by a valve g, by which the core can move downwards quickly under the action of the solenoid, but only slowly returns when the solenoid is de-energized. The descent of the core i<1> causes the lever l<1>, through the spring m<2>, to pull on the key h. If the carman, while passing over the conductor q, desires to operate the points, he breaks for an instant the motor circuit, thus causing the solenoid b to become de-energized and permitting the core i to rise and free the key h. When the solenoid again becomes energized, the core i moves violently to the end of its stroke and, through the link 1, closes the switch n, n<1>, thus completing the circuit from the live wire t, through the commutator c, c<1> to one of the point electromagnets. When the collector passes off the conductor q, the solenoid b becomes dead and the core i rises, and, through the lever 4 and pawl e, rotates the commutator through a quarter-revolution. The commutator is then in a position to connect the other solenoid in circuit for the reverse movement of the points.

Title: Improvements in the Grates or Blast-boxes of Gas Producers and the like.
Inventor: PRATT ARTHUR EDWIN
IPC: C10J3/34
Filed: 1911-02-28
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 5050. Pratt, A. E. Feb. 28. Grates; ashes, removing.-The grates or blastboxes of gas-producers &c. are made in two or more superposed parts, movable relatively to one another, by rotation or otherwise, and provided with apertures for the blast so arranged that different apertures come into register according to the position of the parts, thus varying the distribution of the blast. An arrangement of shares and scrapers for use with revolving ash-trays for the removal of the ashes is described. Fig. 1 shows one form of the invention, in which the blast from the distributor k passes through the openings l<1>, l<2> and m<1>, m<2>, formed respectively in the outer and inner portions l, m of the conical grate. The outer grate can be rotated on the ball bearings n by the handle p, and the openings l<1>, l<2>, m<1>, m<2> are so arranged that, when those in the top coincide, those in the sides are closed, and vice versa, both being partly open in intermediate positions. The openings in the upper grate are preferably constructed with overhanging portions, as indicated in Fig. 2, to prevent ashes from falling through. In a modification, the inner grate is attached to a continuouslyrotating water-seal tank, while the outer grate is arranged so that it may be fixed or revolve with the inner one. In the former case, a continuous variation in the blast distribution is obtained. In a further modification, the two grates are connected by epicyclic gearing, the outer being secured to the revolving water-seal; in this case, the two grates may revolve in the same or opposite directions, or the inner may be stationary, at will. A third grate may be added outside the other two so as to revolve with the grate next it, its position relative to this grate being adjustable. Intermittent as well as continuous variation in the blast is thus obtained. The bottom of the revolving ash-pan may be provided with shares or upward prujections which cause the ashes to move to its circumference, where adjustable shares or scrapers eject them over the edge into an annular chamber surrounding the pan. The ashes are pushed round this chamber to a discharge shoot by scrapers attached to the ash-pan.

Variable-speed epicyclic gearing; clutches, friction.-Comprises a two-speed epicyclic hubgear for motor-cycles and vehicles, in which the gearing is connected to the hub through an expanding cylindrical clutch which is always in driving connexion with the pedal sprocket so that the engine can be started by the pedals when the road wheel is on the ground and the clutch is released from the hub. The engine-driven beltpulley is mounted on a hub 4, which carries an internally toothed ring 31 gearing with the planet pinions carried by a plate 10. The sun pinion 6 engages with the planet pinions and can slide on the fixed axle so as to be clutched (1) to the planet-carrier 10 giving a solid drive, or (2) to a fixed plate 12, thus bringing the gear train into operation and giving a reduced speed. The plate 12 is anchored by an arm 13, Fig. 10, which is elastically connected to the cycle frame through two springs 14. The planetcarrier 10 is adapted to be clutched to the hub by a split cylindrical ring, Fig. 4, consisting of an outer gun-metal ring 17 and an inner steel part 22, which is internally coned to engage two conical surfaces formed on the planetcarrier and on a slidable plate 25. This plate is loosely mounted on a non-rotatable boss 26, and, when the boss is caused to slide by a crank 30 and opposed cam surfaces 28, 29, the plate 25 is forced inwards and expands the clutchring into contact with the hub. The inner part of the clutch ring is notched at 20 and 21 on its edge to engage with projections formed on the planet-carrier 10 and on a disk 15 connected to the pedal sprocket 32, so that the sprocket is in driving connexion with the engine when the clutch ring is disconnected from the hub, and the engine can be started by the ordinary pedals, or by a starting-lever, or by a handle fixed to the disk 15.
