Abstract: 16,164. Erste Suddeutsche Manometerbau Anstalt und Federtriebwerkfabrik J. C. Eckardt. July 13, 1910, [Convention date]. Elastic - diaphragm, pressure gauges; indicating-means.-A flexible membrane m divides a chamber a into two compartments which contain fluids at different pressures. The movements of the rod b, which transmits the indications to a dial situated in the atmosphere, are rendered air-tight by passing the rod through an elastic metal tube d, which is connected at one end to an extension of the chamber a, and at the other end is secured to the rod or to the membrane m. A second elastic tube may be arranged on the opposite side of the membrane, in the manner shown, to neutralize the influence of the first tube on the membrane. In a modification, shown in Fig. 2, the rod b is arranged horizontally and is pivoted at the knife-edges g. One end of the rod is secured to the holder f which is connected to the membrane. The rod may be pivoted to the holder, or it may have a joint h. The tube d' prevents unequal strain on the membrane.

Abstract: 19,945. Downey, B., and Haslow, C. Sept. 7. Checks; completing closing of doors.-Relates to combined door checks and latches of the kind in which the latch is carried by the plunger rod of an air check. The check cylinder 3 is mounted in the door 1 and is closed at one end by a wall 5 provided with a port 6 controlled by a valve 7 having a smaller port 7<a>. The other end of the cylinder is provided with a collar 10 having a rectangular bore, two opposite sides of which are provided with pairs of recesses 12<a> terminating in shoulders 12<b>. The check piston 37 is carried by a bolt, slidable in the collar 10 and comprising a pair of outer members 13 and an inner member 29 secured together by screws 13<a>. Each member 13 is provided with a pair of balls 20<a> retained by plates 20<b> and normally engaging the shoulders 12<b> of the recesses 12<a> to hold the bolt projected from the cylinder 3 against the action of a spring 42. The outer ends of the members 13 are in the form of jaws, between which is pivotally mounted a latch hook 21, to which a pair of members 28 arranged between the bolt members 13 and 29 are pivoted. When the latch is turned into the position shown in Fig. 12, it is held by a bar 31, slidably mounted in a slot in the bolt member 29 and provided with a head 32 which is engaged by a spring 35. The movement of the latch 21 is limited in both directions by the engagement of a pin 16 with a shoulder 24 and tail-piece 23 of the latch hook. With the parts in the normal position, when the door is swung in the closing direction, the latch hook 21 strikes a keeper pin 43, Fig. 12, on the door frame, and is turned into the position shown in Fig. 12, where it is retained by the bar 31, and moves the members 28 inwards, until pairs of recesses 28<a> therein register with the balls 20<a>, so that the spring 42 expands and draws the door to the fully-closed position, the movement being checked by the slow escape of the air in the cylinder through the ports 7<a>, 6. The door is opened by pulling a knob 9 on the cylinder 3, so that the cylinder slides on the bolt until the collar 10 engages the head 32 of the latch - retaining bar 31, thereby releasing the latch hook, which on further movement is returned to its normal position, and the recesses 28<a> are brought out of register with the balls which again engage the shoulders 12b.

Title: Improvements relating to Fluid Pressure Pump Governing Mechanism.
Inventor: TURNER WALTER VICTOR
IPC: F04B49/02
Filed: 1911-11-22
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 26,156. Turner, W. V. April 11, [Convention date]. Regulating delivery by varying speed of motor.-In pump-governing mechanism of the type actuated by the pressure of the delivery fluid to cut the pump out of operation when the pressure in the reservoir rises to a predetermined maximum, and into operation when the pressure falls to a minimum, an adjustable reducing-valve is placed between the reservoir and the governor so that the pressures in the reservoir at which the governor acts can be varied. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to the governor described in Specification 20,645/06. Fluid from the reservoir passes by a pipe 13 to a valve 16 held down by an adjustable spring 17 (the cock 18 being closed) and enters the governor at a reduced pressure dependent on the compression of the spring 17 by the pipe 9. A small hole 20 in the valve casing 14 allows fluid to escape slowly and prevents banking-up of the pressure behind the valve. Bv opening the cock 18, the governor is supplied with fluid at reservoir pressure.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Feed Mechanism for Photographic Step and Repeat Machines and other Apparatus.
Inventor: HOLST LODEWYK JAN RUTGER
IPC: G03B27/06
Filed: 1912-09-17
Granted: 1913-09-17
Abstract: 21,177. Holst, L. J. R. Sept. 17. Dividing-engines. - Relates to feed-mechanism, more particularly for photographic enlarg-' ing and copying apparatus in which the sensitive plate is moved step by step to obtain a series of images on the plate. The movement of the plate is obtained from a rotating feedshaft 14<a>, Figs. 1 and 2, which is locked at the end of the predetermined movement. The apparatus includes two index members 28, 29<a> having divisions adapted respectively to control fractional and complete revolutions of the feedshaft. The fractional index plate 28, with 100 holes, is loosely mounted on the shaft 14<a> and is engaged with the operating-handle 26 by a spring pin 27. The plate 28 carries a spur-wheel 28<a>, Figs. 2 and 3, which drives a second spurwheel 29, with one tooth less, through the small wheel 30. The second index plate 29<a> for controlling the number of complete revolutions is loosely mounted on a reduced portion 41 of the spur gear 29, but can be locked thereto by a handle 32 engaging internal teeth on the wheel when raised to the horizontal position as shown in Fig. 3. To obtain fractions of a revolution of the shaft 14<a>, two spring index fingers 35, 36 loosely mounted on a shaft with pins to engage the holes in the plate 28 are adjusted to embrace the arc including the number of hundredths of a revolution required, and the finger 36 is brought against the pin 27 that is in the zero hole. The pin 27 is then retracted and the handle 26 rotated until the pin is arrested by the arm 35. The plate 28 is during this motion locked by a pin 31 on a swinging arm 31<a> engaging a notch 28<b> in the plate coinciding with the zero position, and also by a retractable bolt 38<a>. The pin 31 also engages a zero notch 29<c> in the plate 29<a>. To obtain any number of complete revolutions of the shaft 14<a>, the catch 31 is lifted and the handle 32 released from the plate 29<a>, which is turned backwards through an arc embracing the same number of divisions. For this purpose, a sliding rider 29<e> on the edge of the plate 29<a> is clamped with its edge against the division number, and it is arrested by the pin 31 when the plate 29<a> is rotated backwards to the required extent. The plate 29<a> is again locked to the wheel 29 and the bolt 38<a> retracted. On rotating the handle 26, which is still locked to the plate 28, the wheel 29 gains one tooth per revolution over the wheel 28<a>, and at the end of the predetermined number of revolutions, the zero notches 28<b>, 29<c> coincide, and the pin 31 re-enters them and arrests the motion.
