Title: Improvements in or relating to Gyroscopic Apparatus.
Filed: 1911-04-29
Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 10,440. Ansch³tz & Co. June 21, 1910, [Convention date]. Gyroscopic apparatus. - The errors produced in gyroscopic apparatus by rhythmic vibrations are avoided or reduced by increasing, by means of auxiliary gyroscopes, the time of oscillation of the movable system about the axis of rotation of the gyroscope used for measuring the angular deflexion or indicating the direction; the axes of the auxiliary gyroscopes are inclined relatively to the axis of the main gyroscope, and are not rigidly connected to the movable system, but are fixed in their normal position by springs w, x, or by gravity or other forces. The separate auxiliary gyroscopes and the main gyroscope may be replaced by using two (or more) main gyroscopes o, p, as shown in Fig. 1, the axes of which are inclined relatively to the virtual main axis.

Title: Improvements in Raising or Forcing Liquids and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: HUMPHREY HERBERT ALFRED
Filed: 1911-11-30
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 26,829. Humphrey, H. A., and Rusdell, W. J. Nov. 30. Direct explosion apparatus.-Comprises a method of operating internat-combustion pumps or compressors of the two-stroke-cycle type in which a suitably heavy mass or masses reciprocate so that the length of the strokes is determined by the work done or energy stored during the successive reciprocations, wherein the exhaust gases escape under such conditions of pressure, energy, or inertia as to cause a fresh combustible charge or scavenging-air, or both, to enter the combustion chamber or chambers. Fig. 1 shows a form of apparatus of the type described in Specification 21,609/11, in which the exhaust gases escape through a long exbaust pipe 25 as soon as the pressure in the combustion chamber has fallen sufficiently to allow the hydraulic valve-gear shown to open the exhaust valve 6. The momentum of the gases in the pipe 25 causes the burnt products in the combustion chamber to be drawn out and a fresh charge of air and gas to be sucked in from the bell 28 and diaphragm chamber 35 respectively, the arrangement being such that the air is admitted first. Upon the return stroke of the liquid column, the charge is compressed and ignited. The following alternative arrangements are described. (1) The exhaust gases may enter a cylinder containing a piston which is operated to compress the fresh combustible charge and force it into the combustion chamber. (2) Two such cylinders may be employed for compressing air and gas separately, and the exhaust gases may enter them either simultaneously or in succession. (3) A piston may work on the surface of the water column in the combustion chamber and may control the valves mechanically, the exhaust valve being opened on the out-stroke, admitting exhaust gases to a chamber containing cold water, so that a partial vacuum is produced, and the admission valve being opened on the return stroke to allow the fresh charge to be drawn in by such vacuum. Regulating. The movements of the masses or a part thereof, the changes of levels, or the pressure changes that occur in any part of the apparatus, may be employed to control automatically the pressure at which the valves operate and to time their movements. The quantities of elastic fluid introduced may be likewise controlled to cause or meet variations in the operating conditions.

Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 19,296. Zingel, G. M., and Brown, J. Aug. 23. Winding - machines; spindle driving apparatus; thread-guides; tension arrangements.- Wire is drawn from large bobbins A<1> and wound by means of a vertical traverse motion upon small bobbins B<1> driven by means of a rope or cord f engaged by a pulley D<1>, which is rotatable about the axis of the bobbin to cause the rope to be free from or to have a varying contact with the wharl, so that the speed ot the bobbins, on starting, can be gradually increased. The traverse motion comprises two oppositely-rotating screws K, K', with which half-nuts N mounted on a sliding carriage J engage in turn. The half-nuts are carried on a lever M, and during the upward or downward movement of the carriage are held in engagement with the screws by spring levers 0, O<1>, which engage a pin m<1> on the lever M. At the end of each traverse the pin m<1> engages adjustable levers P, which, by means of springs p<4>, effect the displacement of the pin m<1> from one of the levers 0, O<1> and its engagement with the other, and consequently reverse the nut N and the direction of traverse. The wharl of the winding-spindle is mounted on a sleeve secured to the bobbin-carrier, which is provided with a lever fitted with a steel pin adapted to pierce the bobbin flange and cause the bobbin to rotate when winding, while rotation in the opposite direction effects the disengagement of the pin. A tension device R', comprising boards or plates between which the wire passes, and an adjustable guide s are carried by the slide J. The height to which the wire is carried is determined by the adjustment of the guides s, which, according to the Provisional Specification, may be covered with paper.
