Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 12,449. Soc. Anon. Officine Galileo. May 31, 1911, [Convention date]. Push-button switches.-A double push-button switch for reversing an electric motor comprises two contact members m, n, Fig. 3, normally in contact with a plate p connected to one main. Each contact-member is connected to one armature brush, and by the depression of either member on to a spring-supported contact-rod r or s, a current is passed through the armature in one or other direction by way of a resistance. If sufficiently depressed, the contact-rod r or s engages a conducting-plate q and short-circuits one of the resistances. In a switch for effecting the control of two motors in this manner, the plate p, Fig. 1, has four points, each arranged over a U-shaped spring m, n. A knob F is provided for compressing each spring away from the plate, and, if necessary, pushing a rod r or s to make contact with a plate q. An additional knob B, Fig. 3, operates a rotary rheostat arm.

Abstract: 14,652. Smith, J., Mitchell, H. L., Askham, W. H., and Hey, H. June 22. Washers.-In an absorber or separator for gases or vapours of the type comprising corrugated plates over or through which the gases, vapours and liquids pass, the depressions in one plate correspond with and enter somewhat into the depressions of the adjacent plate, so that a number of liquid seals are formed through which the gases or vapours pass. As shown in Fig. 1, the plates may be perforated alternately at the top and bottom of the depressions, liquid entering at g passing from plate to plate, forming a number of liquid seals, and escaping at h, while gases or vapours entering at e bubble through the liquid seals and leave at f. As shown in Fig. 2, alternate plates may be secured to a slowly rotating spindle j. The casing may rotate instead of the spindle. The longitudinal position of the spindle may be adjusted to vary the distance between the plates. In either form of the apparatus, the plates may be perforated or unperforated, or some only may be perforated. According to the Provisional Specification, the corrugations may be of square, triangular, or other section.

Abstract: 27,650. Pelterie, R. Esnault-. Dec. 6, 1912, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Dash-pots. - Consists in constructing damping-devices for use with vehicle springs so that free movement in opposite directions from the normal loaded position is permitted, the return movement in each direction being braked. Fig. 6 shows one arrangement in which a piston p attached to the axle is, in the mean loaded position, situated in the position shown with respect to a liquid-containing cylinder q carried by the vehicle frame. The cylinder is provided with by-passes t, t<1> having one-way valves s, s<1>, and the piston has slots u, u<1> which register with the passages t, t' during upward or downward movements respectively of the piston away from its mean position, and allow unrestricted flow of liquid from one side of the piston to the other through the valves s, s<1> respectively. The return of. the piston to the normal position is braked by the passage of liquid through openings r in the piston. Fig. 7 shows an alternative arrangement in which a valve v is held by means of springs within a hollow piston between passages x, x<1>, both of which are open in the mean position shown. Radially-arranged passages y, y<1> lead from the interior of the piston to channels w formed in the wall of the cylinder. For upward or downward movements of the piston away from the mean position, the liquid passes freely from one side of the piston to the other through passages x, y<1> or x<1>, y respectively, the return to the mean position being braked by the passage of liquid through passages z in the piston. Fig. 9 shows a modification of the arrangement shown in Fig. 7 in which the piston is formed of two oppositely coned portions b, c, the end portions of the cylinder being correspondingly tapered at d, e. The piston is a loose fit in the centre portion of the cylinder. The arrangement is such that the braking effect gradually increases as the piston moves towards its mean position.
