Title: Improvements in Advertisement Signs and the like Illuminated by Gas.
Inventor: MYERS RICHARD PHILIP
IPC: G09F13/44
Filed: 1913-01-20
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 1601. Myers, R. P., and Gillespie, J. D. Jan. 20. C o m b i n e d fluid-actuated and mechanical gears.-The pressure of the gas used to illuminate a sign is used to operate mechanism for shifting colour - screens between the light and the sign. The colourscreens F, F<1> and G, G<1> are mounted on a rotatable disk E, which is rocked by a bellows M through a slotted arm N, lost-motion collars L<1>, L<2>, a link L, a crank K, a link J, and a crank H. The gas is supplied to the burners C from a main I by way of a chamber Q and pipe C<1>, in which case the bellows M is inflated through a pipe O, or, when the end of the pipe C<1> is closed by the rise of the mercury in the U-tube P, the bellows supplies gas by pipes O, C<1> under the action of a weight M<1> or a spring. The mercury-valve P is operated by a piston P<1> upon an arm P<2> jointed to a rocking lever R carrying a weighted tumbler arm S adapted to fall upon one or other of two stops R<1>, R<2> on the lever R when its lower end S<1> is pushed by a rod T carried by the link L or a rod V carried by the arm N. A tube W containing a movable weight such as mercury or shot is attached to the rocking lever R. In the position shown in Fig. 1, gas is supplied to the burners and the bellows until the arm N on the bellows reaches the stop L<2> and operates the link L, thus moving the colour screen and bringing the rod T against the end S<1> of the tumbler S. This operates the piston P<1> and closes the end of the pipe C' so that the burners are supplied from the bellows as shown in Fig. 2 until the arm N reaches the stop L', whereupon the parts are restored to the positions shown in Fig. 1.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Valves.
Inventor: ANDERSON JOHN
IPC: F16K3/08
Filed: 1912-08-14
Granted: 1913-09-15
Abstract: 14,798. Anderson, J. Aug. 14, 1912. Rotary disk valves.- A valve for controlling gas at high pressure comprises a seating 6 provided with two concentric annuli 8, 9 and an outlet tube 10 projecting to the same extent as the annuli, these parts being ground or otherwise surfaced for the reception of a similarly treated rotary disk valve 7 with perforations 15 and an operating-shaft 5 passing freely through the seating.

This valve may be used in connexion with the gas controller described in Specification 18,674/12, in which case a light spring is employed to keep the valve against the seating, and the operating-shaft is connected to the controller mechanism.
Patent GB-191316331-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Loom Dobbies.
Inventor: LEEMING FRANK
IPC: D03C1/12
Filed: 1913-07-16
Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 16,331. Leeming, F. July 16. Dobbies.-Crank-wheel dobbies are modified so as to produce a closed or open shed by employing duplex crank-wheels comprising pinions 5, 5<a>, Figs. 1 and 3, carried by levers 6, 6<a> and furnished eccentrically with pins carrying pinions 4, 4<a> having crank - pins 4<c> linked to the jack-levers 2. The pinions are provided with flanges 5<b> on which pinions 3, 3<a> are mounted. These pinions have external teeth and also internal teeth, the latter gearing with the pinions 4, 4<a>. By means of spring-controlled levers 6<d> and a pattern chain 8<a>, the levers 6 can be oscillated into two positions, so that certain pinions 5 and their corresponding pinions 3 are moved into gear with broad teeth on a drum 10, while other pinions 5 are moved away from the drum 10, but their corresponding pinions 3 gear with the narrow teeth on a drum 10<a>. By means of arms 6<b>, the levers 6<a> and pinions 5<a>, 3<a> are moved similarly with respect to the drum 10 and a third partly-toothed drum 10<b>. The drums 10<b>, 10<a> turn the pinions 3<a>, 3 in engagement therewith through a half revolution, and these pinions turn the wheels 4, 4<a> through a full revolution, so that the healds in connexion therewith are first moved to middle-shed position and then back to their original position. The drum 10 turns the wheels 3, 5 or 3<a>, 5<a> in engagement therewith and causes the corresponding crankpins 4<c> to move from one Úxtreme position to the other, so that the healds actuated thereby are moved from one shed to another, but are in the central position when the healds first referred to are in their central position, a closed shed being thus produced. By dispensing with or rendering inoperative the drums 10<a>, 10<b>, the dobby may be used to give an open shed. The duplex crankwheels are arranged in two series, the corresponding jack levers 2 and links 11, 11<a> occupying alternate positions laterally to economize space. The dobby may be used to produce a double shed for weaving double-piece velvet by reducing the number of teeth on the drums 10<a>, 10<b>, so that the pinions 3, 3<a> are turned through a quarter of a revolution. A reciprocating levelling-device is used to keep. the levers 6, 6<a> in their adjusted positions. The drums are provided with plain or cylindrical surfaces to lock the wheels resting against them.

Title: Balance or Differential Device for Cyclecars.
Inventor: TASKER HERBERT
IPC: F16D41/18
Filed: 1913-08-06
Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 17,903. Tasker, H. Aug. 6. Differential or balance gearing; clutches, ratchet. - Balance gearing for motor - vehicles comprises two ratchet - clutch members a connected by a rod P within a rotary live axle or countershaft D, the arrangement being such as to render reversed driving possible. The members a have teeth adapted to engage face teeth on members b, which are secured to wheel hubs h turning loosely on the axle. The members a slide on feathers on the axle and abut against keys n, which pass transversely through slots o in the axle and make connexion with internal plungers or cores C, W, respectively. The plunger C is secured to one end of the rod P, but the plunger W can move longitudinally relatively to the other end of the rod P. This movement of the plunger W is enough to allow either of the members a to overrun in forward driving, but not enough to allow both these members to overrun when the axle D drives reversely. A spring S within the axle D keeps the members a pressed outwards. To prevent the members a from making undue noise in overrunning, fibre blocks J, Fig. 11, may be carried by them and pressed against the axle D by springs y.
