Abstract: 321. Weissman, G. Jan. 6. Supporting; electroliers.- The lamps b of illuminating- bodies, such as electroliers, are mounted in a plate of insulating - material having the shape of the body, and current is supplied to them by strips of conducting-material h, m on opposite sides of the insulating-plate. The strips of conducting-material are divided into sections, which alternate and are separated by insulating- spaces r, u. The lamps are by this arrangement divided into equal groups, each section cariying the lamps of two groups, which are connected to adjacent sections on the opposite side, thereby enabling lamps of low voltage to be used on a high-voltage circuit. If the end groups do not contain a sufficient number of lamps, compensasing- bodies are added to make up the required number. The lamps b are screwed into the front plate h, Fig. 3, and the insulating-plate is pierced to allow the lamps to make contact with the plate n, a spring-pressed cap f engaging with the end of the lamp. The illuminating-body may be given an insulating and protecting coating, or for certain purposes it may be constructed so as to be taken to pieces.

Granted: 1910-06-08
Abstract: 13,418. Dunne, J. W. June 8. Steering by surfaces arranged laterally in pairs and mounted on an axis inclined to the surface. Each surface for controlling an aeroplane is mounted on an axis situated in front of the centre of the surfaces and inclined to the surface or to the surface produced at an angle less than a rightangle. The surface may be normally horizontal with the axis of rotation sloping backwards, downwards, and rearwards ; or the surface may be normally inclined downwards and outwards with respect to the direction of travel of the machine, in which case the axis is placed vertically or sloped downwards and backwards. In the example shown, a pair of steering-surfaces a are mounted on vertical axles d extending between the lateral extremities of the supporting-planes b of a biplane, and are operated by cords e. The surfaces a normally are inclined downwards and outwards, and, by moving, for instance, the left-hand surface in a clockwise direction, the surface is inclined downwards towards the front, causing that side of the machine to be depressed and retarded. By moving the surface in a counterclockwise direction, the left-hand side of the machine is raised and retarded. The planes are controlled by a pivoted rod j, Fig. 4, passing loosely through the ends of levers l, m secured to tho pulleys h, k, around which the operating-cords e pass. The rod can be moved to operate the levers l, m, and consequently the two controlling - surfaces, in either direction, either separately or together. The centre of the rod j may be connected to devices for actuating a forward elevating-plane. Another form of control is shown in Fig. 5, in which the cords e pass around pulleys 1, 2 provided with bevel-wheels 4, 5 and actuated by a gear-wheel 6. The wheel 6 is carried by a shaft 7, which can be moved in a guide 8 to turn the pulleys 1, 2 in the same sense, and can be rotated to turn the pulleys oppositely.

Title: An Improved Elastic Fluid Pressure Regulator.
Inventor: SZPERKOWSKI BOLESLAUS
Filed: 1910-03-07
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 5713. Szperkowski, B. March 7. Automatic gear.-A pressure-regulating valve for use with apparatus employing exhaust steam comprises two pistons connected through a lostmotion device, and so arranged that an excess of exhaust steam opens one of the pistons and allows the steam to escape into the atmosphere, while a deficiency of steam opens the other piston and allows live steam from a boiler to flow into the apparatus to restore the pressure. Two separate valves are employed instead of a single piston with two series of ports in order to provide a more efficient closure to the high-pressure steam supply. In Fig. 1, b is a flange to be bolted to the exhaust steam conduit, n is the inlet for live boiler steam, and c represents the outlet to the atmosphere. A piston d having a series of ports f controls the outlet to the atmosphere and is pressed downwards by a weighted lever h. A second piston e pressed upwards by a spring k controls the passage n. The valve d has a spindle g adapted to press the valve e from its seat when the valve d is closed. If the pressure in the exhaust conduit rises, the valve d is lifted, and steam escapes into the atmosphere. At the same time the valve e is closed by the spring k. A reduction of pressure in the exhaust conduit causes the valve d to fall and open the valve e by means of the spindle g. Live steam then flows through the port n to restore the pressure.

Title: An Automobile Controller Lever Lock.
Inventor: MILLER FRANKLIN COMFORT
IPC: B60R25/00
Filed: 1910-06-28
Granted: 1911-06-28
Abstract: 15,531. Miller, F. C. June 28, Levers, locking. - In a lever and toothed sector device for controlling the clutch, brake, or variable-speed gear of an automobile &c., a sliding latch which engages the sector to hold the lever in position is released by a push-button carried in the handle, and adapted to be locked by means of a separate key to prevent unauthorized operation of the lever. The sliding latch 7, shown in Fig. 1, is normally retained in engagement with the sector 4 by means of a spring 15 acting through a connecting-rod 11. Upon the end of the rod 11 is swivelly mounted a thimble or sleeve 16 with a semi-annular slot 17 and connected by a stud 21 to a cylinder 20, which terminates in the cylindrical enlargement 23 comprising the push-button normally protruded by the spring 15. The thimble 16 is also provided with a stud or projection 18 which normally slides in a longitudinal recess 19 in the handle 12, but which, when it is desired to lock the device, is turned into a transverse groove 29, thereby preventing movement of the rod 11. The push-button and cylinder 20, by means of which this rotary actuation is effected, is normally prevented from rotating by being locked to a sleeve or casing 22 which in turn is slidably connected to the interior of the handle 12 by a lug 24 engaging a longitudinal recess 25. The locking-connexion comprises a spring-pressed tumbler pin 33 in the casing 22 engaging a suitable slot or chamber with a tumbler member 32 in the cylinder 20. To rotate the push-button. this connexion is withdrawn by the insertion of a special key 30, which presses outwards the members 32, 33 until the cylinder 20 is released from the latter. When the cylinder 20 is thus released and rotated, the projection 21 passes to the opposite end of the slot 17, thereafter actuating the thimble 16 to carry the locking pin or stud 18 into engagement with one of the transverse grooves 29, the movement of the thimble being limited to a semi-rotation by a lug 35 thereon engaging approximately diametrically opposite shoulders 36 on the sleeve 22. The cylinder 20 is thus adapted to make a complete rotation, after which it becomes again locked by the spring-pressed tumbler 33. To facilitate assemblage of the parts, the handle 12 is formed with a detachable part 26, Fig. 4.
