Title: Improvements in Rapid-action Valves for use with Vacuum Brake Apparatus.
Filed: 1908-05-23
Granted: 1908-11-05
Abstract: 11,256. Consolidated Brake and Engineering Co., and Luard, E. S. May 23. Brakes.-A local-venting valve for vacuum brakes is formed of two concentric valves, and the smaller valve opens in quick service applications of the brakes, while the larger valve opens in emergency applications. The valve casing a is connected at b to the train pipe, and at c to a pipe leading to an ordmary vacuum-brake cylinder. The valve e is carried by a hollow stem f, sliding on a guide g, and connected to a diaphragm h. The valve is normally closed by a springs. An opening k in the valve e is normally closed by a valve l. the spindle l<1> of which passes through the stem f and is connected to a diaphragm n enclosing a space m at the bottom of the stem. The train-pipe passage b is open to the brake-cylinder passage c through openings f<3> in the stem f and through a ball valve c<2>, and to the chambers i, m through small openings i<1> m<1>, respectively. In operation, when an increase of train-pipe pressure for the ordinary quick service application of the brakes occurs, the diaphragm n is moved to open the valve l, which remains open until it is closed by air leaking through the opening m<1>. On a larger increase of pressure for an emergency application, the diaphragm h is depressed against the action of the spring j, opening the valve e to admit a large quantity of air to the brake cylinder. The valve e closes as soon as sufficient pressure has leaked through the opening i<1> to the chamber i.

Granted: 1910-01-31
Abstract: 2311. Dawbarn, R. A. Jan. 30. Electric contact-arrangements, operation of by passing collectors.-The supporting-ears for the overhead conductors of electric tramways are adapted, on the passage of the collecting- wheels, to be raised for the purpose of operating switch devices, which close electric circuits from the trolly wire to apparatus for operating points, signals, &c. Fig. 3 shows one arrangement in which, upon the raising of the conductor a and its supporting-ear h, the box d is oscillated and the circuit k, j momentarily closed by mercury therein. After the passage of the collector, the switch is again opened by the weight of the parts. 'Other forms of tilting mercury switches are also used. The weight of the conductor a is balanced by the weighted levers n, or the ear is carried by springs from the transverse cable b. In the modified arrangement shown in Fig. 5, the circuit is completed through the contacts p, r on the raising of the supporting-ear.
Patent GB-190910292-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Projecting Series of Luminous Pictures.
Inventor: MEWES GEORG
IPC: G03B21/32
Filed: 1909-04-30
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 10,292. Mewes, G. April 30. Optical-projection apparatus. - A rotatable picture disk m is driven from a spring motor a, and is given an intermittent movement through a governor h driven by the same motor; which, by its centrifugal action, intermittently stops the motor. The disk is rotated by the motor until the rise of the governor sleeve allows the spring i to move the lever k, so that the lever engages with a pin l<1> fixed to the wheel l and locks the driving-mechanism. The picture is held stationary until the speed of the governor decreases sufficiently to release the driving- mechanism. The duration of this interval can be regulated by the brake-spring y acting on the governor. The stop-wheel u is provided with a pin v, which, simultaneously with the stopping of the driving-mechanism, actuates a lever w to extinguish the lamp automatically.
Patent GB-190916688-A (GB)
Title: Improved Automatic Stop-motion and Take-up Control Devices for use with Loom Reshuttling Mechanism.
Inventor: ROSTRON JAMES
IPC: D03D45/34
Filed: 1909-04-29
Granted: 1910-05-30
Abstract: 16,688. Rostron, J. April 29. Weft-replenishing mechanism.-In looms provided with shuttle-changing mechanism such as is described in Specification 26,322/06, means are provided to stop the loom if the weft is not laid by a newly-inserted shuttle, and take-up control devices are used in connexion with said means. A link bar a is pivoted on a pin c on the weft-fork holder b, so that when the holder is moved forwards on failure of the weft, the notched end a<1> of the link bar acts upon a stud d and rocks a lever e on the shaft controlling the shuttle-changing mechanism. At the same time, a second notch a' on the bar a engages a pin l<1> on an arm k fixed to the pawl h of the take-up ratchet-wheel, thus raising the pawl h, while a second pin l<2> on the arm k first raises and is then engaged by the hooked 'arm o of a bell-crank lever o, n. If the weft is properly laid by the newly-inserted shuttle, a pin or projection p on the weft-fork hammer g acts on the arm n and removes the hooked arm o from the pin l<2> so that the arm k returns to its normal position, the pawl h re-engaging the ratchet - wheel of the take - up motion. If, however, 'the weft is not properly laid so that the weft-fork mechanism is again 'actuated, the link bar a, which has been raised on its backward movement by an incline a<2> thereon riding up the pin l<1>, misses the stud d and its shoulder a<4> acts upon a pivoted plate-like extension q on the stopping-lever and thus stops the loom. By allowing the pivoted extension q to come below the link bar to be engaged by a shoulder a<5> thereon, the device can be used for stopping the loom in the ordinary way. In a modification, the arm k is connected to the link bar a and its lower free end is adapted to be engaged by a shoulder on a weighted pivoted lever, which raises the arm and the link bar, and is moved to release the arm, if the weft of the newly-inserted shuttle is properly laid, by a bell-crank lever actuated by the weft-fork hammer. In this case, the take-up pawl is preferably connected directly to the shaft controlling the shuttle-changing mechanism.

Pivot adjustments. - In locking - joints for motor-car wind-screens in which the conical recessed portions of the movable arms are caused to engage frictionally corresponding annular projections on the fixed arms by a single nut on a joint pin, the locking and unlocking of both joints simultaneously is effected by a nut 12 and a long joint pin 9 having flat faces 11 upon portions of its length which engage the two fixed arms 3, Fig. 1. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the joints are simultaneously locked by means of a central sleeve 16 screwing on to right and left hand threaded pins 15, each of which is provided with a flat portion 11. for engaging the fixed arms. The conical faces may be provided with small teeth.

Abstract: 3325. Dacheux, R. May 4, 1909, [Convention date]. [Addition to 14,723/09.] Distributing type.-Relates to details of the machine described in the parent Specification, wherein types having characteristic nicks are presented to a series of feelers by a slotted feed-slide 14 and a disengaging-slide 17 which moves at right-angles to the feed-slide. (1) The slide 17 is privided with a head x, Fig. 9, which is adjustable longitudinally and is formed with lugs y adapted to engage the types, so that when thin types are being dealt with, the amount of play in the slots 18, 19, &c. may be reduced. (2) The feed-aperture of the slide 14 is provided with a spring retaining-pawl, which rises behind each type as it is fed into the slide. (3) The distributing - system may be arranged in a circle, the slides 14, 17 in this case being circular instead of straight. (4) The feelers 22 may be constructed as before, but the pivot 24 instead of being journaled in bars 28, 29 is journaled in the bar 29 and merely rests on the bar 28. The feelers may consist of gravity-blocks 56 mounted to slide in the bars 28, 29. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the feelers consist of pivoted arms 47, which occupy the spaces between adjacent slots 18, 19, &c. and are arranged to present the feeling- projections z to the sides of the types. The arms 47 are pivoted at 50 in separate blocks 60, and are each provided with a spring 51. In a modification the feelers each consists of two levers, which are pivoted on opposite sides of the slide 17 and are each provided with a lateral feeling-projection.
