Title: Improvements in Machines for Cleaning, Waxing and Polishing Floors.
Inventor: JARRIER REMY
IPC: A47L11/16
Filed: 1912-06-11
Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 13,681. Jarrier, R. June 15, 1911, [Convention date]. Polishing and waxing machines.-A machine for the upkeep, polishing, and cleaning of floors, which is similar to that described in Specification 11,857/12 in the respect that tools for performing different operations may be attached successively thereto, is constructed with a frame similar to a gun-carriage, the part corresponding to the head being carried by the wheels of the machine while that corresponding to the trail is supported on the centre of the toolcarrying disk. Fig. 2 shows a construction of apparatus in which a motor is employed. Two members C, E are bolted to the motor casing. The one member C is fixed adjustably by a pin B<1> in a socket mounted on the axle A of the running wheels, while the other member E supports a driven shaft G which engages the toolcarrying disk j by means of pegs G' engaging slots in a socket on the disk. By raising the trail portion of the machine, or by moving the shaft G axially by pulling the knob G' the disk j may be disengaged, and the machine may be lowered into engagement with a similar socket on another tool-carrying disk. The pressure of the tools on the floor may be adjusted by varying the distance between the shaft G and the axle A, by providing the trail portion of the machine with an adjustable counterweight, or by raising the rear end of the machine by means of the propelling-handle K until the wheels are clear of the ground. In a modified apparatus, in which the shaft G is driven by means of a twisted belt from the shaft A, the casing E is extended so as to enclose the greater portion of the belt, and has a member corresponding to C bolted to its rear end. In this case, a screw adjustment is provided between the member C and its socket. The lower end of the shaft G may be connected to a flexible transmitting- devicc for actuating a vacuum dusting-appliance forming an independent apparatus.

Title: Improvements in Gearing for Transmitting Motion.
IPC: F16H3/00
Filed: 1912-07-25
Granted: 1913-07-25
Abstract: 17,289. Stevens, H. C. M., and Adams Manufacturing Co. July 25. Gearing varying in ratio as drive is applied to one or other terminal element. - Relates to gearing for transmitting power either from a first shaft to a second, or from the second to the first at a different ratio, the change in ratio being effected automatically on reversing the transmission. The gearing may be used to connect an internal - combustion engine by way of a belt 7 and pulley 6 to the shaft 1 of a dynamo which may be used as a motor to start the engine. The outer ring 4 of an epicyclic train is secured to the pulley 6, and meshes with the outer pinions 13 of pairs of interengaging pinions 12, 13 carried by a disk 16. The inner pinions 12 mesh with a sun gear 3 secured to the shaft 1. When the pulley 6 is the driver, a pawl 11 upon it engages a ratchet-wheel 10 upon the shaft 1 so that the shaft is driven directly, the gearing turning solid. When the shaft 1 is the driver, turning in the same direction, a pawl 17 carried by the disk 16 engages a fixed ratchet-wheel 19. The disk 16 is thus kept from turning backwards while the gearing works to drive the ring 4 forwards. If the pawls 11, 17 are reversed, the shaft 1 will be driven faster than the pulley 6 when driving, while the gearing will turn solid when the shaft 1 is the driver. Gearing may be inserted between the ring 4 and the pawl 11, and the belt 7 may be replaced by other gearing, so as to alter the speed ratios.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Automatically Locking and Unlocking Railway Carriage Doors and the like.
Inventor: LIDDELL DAVID
IPC: E05B65/42
Filed: 1913-01-27
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 17,450. Liddell, D., and Andrew, J. P. Jan. 27, 1913. Railway-carriage doors and the like, fastening automatically. - In a device for automatically locking and unlocking the doors of railway carriages and the like, a sleeve 19 carried by the wheel-axle 6 has a groove, fork-shaped at each end, formed upon it, with which two collars 21, 22 are adapted to co-operate by means of balls which move in the grooves. Over the sleeves are loosely fitted two straps 28, attached at their ends to telescopic rods 29, 30. A rod 32 is connected to rods 31 which are themselves pivoted to the ends of the telescopic rods, Fig. 3; and by means of levers 33, 34, Fig. 2, the longitudinal movement of the rod 32 is transmitted to the rods 7 arranged alongside the carriage. The longitudinal rods 7 carry arms 10 having their upper ends bent at rightangles to form bolts fitting into sockets 11 in the door 12. As the axle with its sleeve 19 rotates, the inclined grooves force the sleeves apart, whereby the telescopic rods 29, 30 slide outwards upon one another and the rod 32 moves towards the wheel axle, operating the bolts. A similarly-shaped groove may be formed on the opposite side of the sleeve 19; and springs 35 may be arranged to keep the collars normally together.

Abstract: 27,756. Green, W. H., and Wilson, J. W. Dec. 2. Moving-chamber apparatus. - A valve for automatically controlling the admission of liquid hydrocarbon, e.g. lubricant or liquid fuel, to the working cylinder of an internal-combustion engine comprises a cylindrical bearing a wherein a tubular reciprocating piston b is fitted, having at its lower end a conical valve g. In the piston are a pair of lateral apertures k, k<1>, and also apertures l; a screw plug m in the piston serves to adjust the capacity of the lower portion of the bore of the piston, this lower portion forming a measuring-chamber. In the cylindrical bearing is an inlet d for the hydrocarbon, and opposite this inlet, and between it and the inner end of the cylinder, is another inlet f communicating with the atmosphere. The piston is normally held up by a spring p, which may be adjusted by means of a screwed rod m and a pin r, and when the pressure under the piston falls sufficiently, the piston moves inward, the hydrocarbon being discharged through the apertures l by air which enters by the apertures f, k<1>.

This coil acts in opposition to a short-range spring G, which normally exerts pressure on the rheostat through the stem K. The minimum resistance of the rheostat can be regulated by an adjusting screw L, which is provided with an indicating pointer l. The rheostat is enclosed in an insulating tube D, which is made practically airtight to minimize burning when arcing takes place.
