Patent GB-191129364-A (GB)
Title: A Method of and a Device for Supporting Aeroplanes.
Inventor: HAYOT LOUIS ADOLPHE
IPC: B64D39/00
Filed: 1911-12-30
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 29,364. Hayot, L. A. Dec. 30. Propelling. - An aeroplane is supported by reducing the pressure on the upper surface of the planes by projecting a stream of gas tangentially over this surface. The reactive force of the stream may serve to propel the machine, and steering and balancing may be effected by adjusting the outflow of gas above the several planes. In the construction shown, the gas is emitted from perforations a in the tubular main rib of the wings and may be produced by pumping a stream of carburetted air into the tube and igniting it by sparking-plugs b, or by a catalytic agent such as spongy platinum. Or the tube may be charged with a solid combustible substance. By adjusting the inclination of the machine, the resultant of the lifting and propulsion forces due to the stream of gas may be caused to assume a vertical direction for keeping the machine stationary. Planes, construction of.-The planes have a metal surface f mounted upon metal webs n which keep the tube t cool by conducting heat away from it.

Title: An Improved Stapling Machine for Forming Flexible Attachments or Joints for Belts.
Inventor: SCHULTE ALBERT
IPC: F16G3/00
Filed: 1912-01-04
Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 347. Schulte, A. Jan. 4. Stapling. - A stapling - machine for forming flexible joints for belts is provided with a staple-holder a, which may be placed in the machine in four positions for use with differently-shaped staples and differently-sized belts. The holder a is guided in slots in cheeks b on the frame of the machine. The cheeks also have guide-slots for presser-blocks c, d. The presser-blocks are operated by eccentrics on a shaft i turned by a handle k. The staple-holder is formed of a square bar, in each of the four sides of which a series of cross-grooves o is cut. The slots are traversed by a removable rod p. In operation, an end of the belt is placed between the presser-blocks and positioned relatively to the grooves o by one of two stops g, h. The presser-blocks are moved against the end to give a true rectangular impression for trimming purposes. The presser-blocks are retracted, the staple-holder is lifted to the upper end of its guides, the grooves o are filled with staples, and the rod p is inserted, the holder being retained in its raised position by a locking- device n. The holder is lowered and the end of the belt stapled. The operation is repeated for the other end of the belt, the other stop being used. The stapled ends of the belt are finally secured together by passing a pin through the ends of the staples.

Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 10,631. Wainwright H. S. May 4. Stylus mountings.-A talking-macbine needle is damped by applying a damping-pad of india-rubber, felt, cork, or the like to the needle set-screw or to another set-screw in the needle-holder. Fig. 1 shows rubber pads c held in a clip a applied to the shank of the set-screw d that holds the needle e in its socket f. The pad may be applied to the periphery or the end face, of the head of either screw. The pad may be replaced by a sleeve clamped on the shank or head of the screws by a clip a or the pad may be secured on the end of a rod held in the hand. Fig. 6 shows a pad m applied to the setscrew or the recess therein by a bow spring k which may be adjusted by a cam n on a pivot o fixed to the needle-holder. In another form, a rigid bracket on the holder carries a screw having a pad which is screwed against the set-screw or a boss thereon. Fig. 11 shows another form, in which the set-screw carries a nut 1 and a damping washer y which may be attached to the nut and is applied to either side of the set-screw head or to the needle-holder. In a similar form, the nut may be conically recessed to exert a wedging action on the washer. A pad may be interposed between the end of the set-screw d and the needle. Fig. 15 shows a method of mounting on the sound-box 12 a lever 10 with pad applied to the set-screw d by an adjusting-screw 14 on the other side of a pivot 11, which is readily detachable, the pad being placed on the end of the lever or within a forked end.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Automatically Lighting and Extinguishing Gas Burners Operated by Clock-work Mechanism.
Inventor: ANDERSON HENRY
IPC: F23Q9/02
Filed: 1912-05-30
Granted: 1913-05-30
Abstract: 12,732. Anderson, H. May 30. Lighting burners by frictional devices.-The invention relates to apparatus for automatically lighting and extinguishing gas-lamps by means of clockwork mechanism, in which the main valve, the pilot valve, and the sparking- mechanism are operated at predetermined times, and the invention consists in the particular arrangement and construction described and shown in apparatus of this type. The sparking-mechanism, which is stated to be somewhat similar to that shown in Specification 5062/12, is operated through a shaft 2<a>, 2 rotated by the spring barrel 18 when released through escapement mechanism 53, 54 and tappets on the dial 48. When a disk 32 attached to the shaft 2<a> is rotated through the clockwork mechanism, a disk 31 is carried round with it through a spring catch 34, tensioning a coil spring 37 attached to the boss 30 until a projection on the frame disengages the catch. The disk 31 is then rapidly returned by means of the spring 37, the friction of the file wheel 1 carried by the boss producing sparks from a pin of cerium iron 38. In a modification, the spring is tensioned through ratchet mechanism, and a weighted lever is provided to bear against the ceriumiron pin to maintain an even pressure against the file wheel. The clockwork mechanism is also arranged to turn off the gas valves of a group of valves at different times, the sparking- mechanism being then only operated during the first third of a revolution of the driving- shaft 2.

Title: Method of and Apparatus for Cleaning and Conveying Stiff Masses such as Starch, Clay or the like from Channels, Troughs, Basins and the like.
Inventor: TASCHL VIKTOR

Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 15,258. Taschl, V. June 29. Pumps for gritty, muddy, and other liquids containing solids in suspension. -An apparatus for cleaning and conveying stiff masses such as starch, clay, &c. from channels, troughs, basins, cr the like, consists of a movable frame carrying (1) a rotary scraping-device or agitator, (2) a pipe for spraying water on to the trough, (3) a pump for drawing off the stiff material mixed with the water supplied, (4) a slowly revolving drum around which a wire fixed to the sides of the trough passes so that the frame is caused to travel slowly over the surface of the trough, and (5) a motor for driving the agitator, pump, and drum. Fig. 5 shows one form of apparatus in which two rotary brushes 13 are mounted upon the frame 1. Water is supplied through the pipes 11, and the mixed material and water are removed from the space between the brushes by the pump 18 delivering to a discharge conduit 3, Fig. 4. The drum 22 is connected to the motor 14 through reducing-gearing and slowly winds the apparatus along a wire 2 passing across the trough. The movement of the frame may be reversed when it reaches the side of the trough by means of a reversing-clutch operated by a tappet carried on the frame. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement for causing the frame to pass over the whole surface of a tank or basin. The wire 2 in this case is fixed to travellers or yoke-pieces 35 engaging with notches in bars 34 at each side of the tank. When the frame approaches the side of the tank, one tappet releases the traveller from its notch by striking the spring- pressed rod 39, while another tappet shifts the traveller along the bar by engagement with the inclined surface 38. Upon reversal, the frame travels along a slightly different path, and in this manner it moves in a zigzag fashion over the whole surface of the tank. Tappets 43 at the sides of the tank are adapted to effect a lateral reversal of the movement.

Water-cooling is provided, and in addition fan blades may be arranged on the rotor arms i. The rotor receives support from semicircular ribs f mounted on the end walls of the casing. A valve s working in conjunction with a clutch between the compressor and the engine is utilized for starting. The rotor and vanes are fitted with packing l.
