Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 12,803. Simmons, A. J. June 3. Incrustation, preventing and removing.-The feedwater is passed through an annular chamber Figs. 1 and 2, containing loose perforated balls 11, which are filled with a suitable anti-incrustation substance.

Patent GB-190720617-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Discharging Liquids between Two Predetermined Levels.
Inventor: HODGSON JOHN LAWRENCE
Filed: 1907-09-17
Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 20,617. Hodgson, J. L. Sept. 17. Liquid levels, regulating.-The liquid in a tank is kept between two predetermined levels by a float-operated valve which discharges liquid from the tank as soon as the predetermined upper level is reached and continues to discharge until the liquid falls to the given lower level. This valve comprises a valve cap C, nearly counterpoised by weights W, A, arranged to close the orifice O of the discharge pipe P. The floats F and weights W, A are carried by a frame M preferably turning on the same shaft B as the valve. When the liquid is at its upper level, the couple due to the weights is just balanced by the couple due to the floats ; if the level tends to rise further, the floats lift and strike a projection on the valve, whereby the valve is opened. The shape of the floats and the disposition of the weights are such that, as the floats rise out of the water, an increasing proportion of their buoyancy is left unbalanced by the weights, so that the floats rise out of the water, an increasing proportion of their buoyancy is left unbalanced by the weights, so that the floats lift quickly and open the valve quickly. The floats also drop quickly when the lower liquid level is reached. By moving the weights away from the bearing B, the distance between the upper and lower levels in the chamber can be increased.

Patent GB-190808313-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Variable Power Transmitting and Controlling Mechanism
Inventor: DIETERICH LUDWIG MARIA
Filed: 1908-04-14
Granted: 1909-04-14
Abstract: 8313. Dieterich, L. M. April 14. Motor road vehicles.-A variable drive is transmitted through differentially - actuated planetary friction pinions, the inclination of which is altered to vary the speed-ratio. Fig. 8 shows a simple form manually controlled. The driving-shaft 6 carries a bevel-wheel 7, which drives in opposite directions bevel-wheels 8, 9, loose upon the driven shaft 16. The wheels 8, 9 are shaped so as always to grip a planetary friction pinion 10, which rotates on a ball bearing upon a non-rotary hub 18. This hub 18 is supported by a trunnion axle 11 carried by an arm 17 secured to the shaft 16. If the pinion 10 is tilted about its axle 11 into an inclined position, the arm 17 and shaft 16 are driven differentially. The inclination of the pinion 10 is controlled through levers and links 21, 22, 24 from an external sliding collar 28. An automatically variable form suitable for motor-vehicles is shown in Figs. 10, 15, 17, and 18. The friction gearing is in duplicate under the control of an " equalizer" bar 78 so as to dispense with the usual balance gearing between the road-wheel axle parts 40, 44. A gear 33 drives a gear 34, which is secured to a bevel-gear 35. The gear 35 drives loose gears 36, 37 in opposite directions as before. The gear 36 is coupled to a gear 42, which drives a gear 46 in the opposite direction through a gear 45. The axle part 40 is driven by a pair of friction pinions 38, 39 under the control of a collar 90, and the axle part 44 is driven by a pair 47, 48 under the control of a collar 89. These collars are connected by levers and links 82, 80 and 81, 79, respectively, to the bar 78. The bar 78 is jointed centrally to a rod 103, Fig. 15, any movement of which will operate the pairs of friction gears simultaneously and control the speed of the car. This operation may be effected by a pedal 258, Fig. 18, or automatically by means shown in Figs. 10, 15, and 17. The engine shaft 32, Fig. 10, has an extension 57 connected to it by a screw 56. Spiders 51, 59 on the shafts 32, 57 are connected by springs so as to form a yielding coupling. As the load varies, the screw 56 turns in its nut and the shaft 57 moves longitudinally. A non-rotary collar 67, Fig. 17, is thus caused to operate a pivoted lever 76, the upper end 77 of which is jointed to the bar 78. The ends of the bar 78 are connected by spring rods 104, 105, Fig. 18, to the frout wheels, so that, when the car is turning, the friction gears and road wheels are operated and driven differently. The gear is enclosed in a casing 30. An automatic spring brake may be used to prevent the engine from racing.

Abstract: 9750. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Turner, F. May 5. Motor road vehicles ; locomotive railmay and tramway vehicles.-In electric power transmission systems of the kind described in Specification No. 8367, A.D. 1907, the armature and field structure of the motor are arranged so that they are driven in opposite directions. The engine shaft f drives a differential gear, the central element of which is mounted on a shaft b connected to the load and carrying the field structure a of the motor. The other element of the differential gear is mounted on a sleeve g carrying the armatures h, i of the generator and motor respectively. The motor is shunt-wound and is connected in series to the series generator, a regulating - resistance being interposed in the motor field circuit. A brake m is provided on the sleeve g, so that in the event of failure of the electric gear, the load can be driven directly. The transmission system is particularly applicable to self-propelled vehicles.

Title: A Diaphragm Controller for Gas Lighting and Extinguishing Purposes.
Inventor: TOURTEL JOHN MESNY
Filed: 1908-11-18
Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 24,849. Tourtel, J. M., and Mealing, W. R. Nov. 16. Lighting and extinguishing gas.-In a device for operating gas cocks from a.distance by manipulating the gas pressure, the movable, diaphragm or other means-operated by the gas pressure to actuate the supply cock, is put in communication with the gas pipe 15 when the gas pressure is raised sufficiently above normal to cause the spring-held or weightcontrolled movable diaphragm 23 to open the valve 24 and thus allow the gas under pressure to pass to the cock-operating diaphragm through pipes 2, 14. The valve 24 closes when the pressure falls to normal. A second spring-held diaphragm 3 may be provided to open a valve 4 when the pressure is again reduced to normal, thus putting the cockoperating means in communication with the atmosphere through the aperture 30<1> and allowing it to assume its normal position. In Fig. 2 the controller diaphragm is shown in combination with an operating-diaphragm c which actuates the gas-cock through a ratchet mechanism when the gas pressure is raised and the controller diaphragm opens the valve 2. A small orifice f allows the gas to escape from the operating-diaphragm chamber, thus permitting the diaphragm to re-assume its normal position when, on the gas-pressure being reduced, the controller-valve 2 is closed.
