Patent GB-191228327-A (GB)
Title: An Automatic Device for Limiting and Regulating the Speed of Vehicles Propelled by Internal Combustion Engines or by Electricity.
Inventor: ROBINSON CHARLES
IPC: B60K31/14
Filed: 1912-12-09
Granted: 1913-12-09
Abstract: 28,327. Robinson, C. Dec. 9. [Cognate Application, 4116/13] Road-traffic signals on vehicles; visible non- luminous signals.-When the speed of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined limit, apparatus is set in operation which, after the lapse of a predetermined interval, cuts out the driving- means, the particular speed limit in operation at any time being readily observed from the road. In the apparatus shown in Figs 2 and 3. the motor is stopped by breaking the ignition circuit. The spindle 12 of a centrifugal governor, driven from the road wheels, carries a long sleeve 16 connected at one end to a twoarmed lever 29, 33, and provided at the other end with a collar 17. The governor-controlling spring 35 is placed between the collar 17 and a short sliding sleeve 22 connected by links to the balls 28. The speed at which the governor acts is determined by the axial adjustment 'of the long sleeve 16, and this again is determined by angular adjustment of the two-armed lever 29, 33, by means of cams 36, 37, 38, 39, any one of which may be turned to engage the arm 33. The cams are all mounted upon a spindle 36, and each is provided with a control lever 41, 42, 43, 44 carrying a number plate 45 with the corresponding speed limit marked thereon. When any cam is moved into its operative position, the corresponding number-plate is displayed through an opening in the front plate 4 of the casing for the mechanism, so that it can be seen from the road. The cutting- out of the ignition when the predetermined speed is exceeded is effected by a lever 55, pivoted at its lower end 56 and pulled continually towards the left by a link 63 and lever 53 acted on by a spring 58. The lever 55 is formed with a fork 57, which bears against a collar 23 on the short sleeve 22. When the speed of the vehicle attains the limit for which the apparatus is set, the short sleeve 22 is moved a certain distance to the left, and the lever 55 is then also free to move to the left and disengage the spring contact arm b from the contact a; its rate of movement is however limited, so that a predetermined interval elapses between the exceeding of the speed limit and the breaking of the circuit. This slow movement of the lever 55 is obtained by means of a fly 52 and a multiplying train of gearing driven by a pawl and ratchet-wheel 49. The interval before the circuit is broken may be varied by varying the gearing or the shape or size of the fly. A bell or other alarm may also be sounded.

Title: Improvements in Thread Cutting Attachments for Sewing Machines.
Inventor: COLEY ROBERT LEE
IPC: D05B65/00
Filed: 1912-12-16
Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 28,919. Coley, R. L. Dec. 16. Sewing-machines; thread-cutters.-Relates to a device for cutting the sewing-threads connecting two articles which are sewn one after the other on a continuously-running sewing- machine. A plate 19 having a laterallyprojecting blade portion 29 slides upon a fixed plate having a blade portion 32. The plate 19 is secured to a rod 14 upon which slides the end 12<a> of a rod 11 secured to the needle-bar and the cutter plate is pressed downwards by the needle-bar on each descent as the eyed-end 12<a> engages with a spring 18. The downward movement of the cutter plate is limited when an article is being stitched by means of a disk 34, secured to the cutter plate, which contracts with that part of the article above a hole 39 in the work-plate. When no work is present, the rubber-covered disk 35 yields to the pressure of the disk 34 as the cutter-plate descends and the cutter 29 is enahled to descend upon the serving-threads, which extend from the stitching point across the fixed blade 32 to the last article sewn. Feed by dog; presser-feed.-In order to keep the connecting threads taut until they are cut, an auxiliary feed dog 6<a> and a corresponding presser 5a are provided which continue to feed the work after it has left the stitching point. A flexible connexion between the feed-bar and the lifting-lever is shown.

Title: Improvements in Governing Turbines Operated by High and Low Pressure Elastic Fluid.
IPC: F01D17/00

Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 4694. Bergmann-Elektricitõtswerke Akt.-Ges. Feb. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Regulating mixedpressure turbines. The high-pressure valve Vf and low-pressure valve Va are operated bv servomotors Kf, Ka respectively. The servomotors are controlled by double slide valves, the piston elements S1, S2 being connected to the speed-governor R, the cylindrical elements H1, H, being connected to the valve spindles, thereby constituting follow-up devices. The operating-lever of the valve S, is pivoted at P2 to a spindle mounted upon a piston D, the underside of which is subjected to the pressure of the low-pressure supply. The corresponding lever of the valve S2 is pivoted to one end of a lever B, the other end of which is pivoted to the valve stem A. The method of operation is as follows: When the low-pressure supply is normal, the piston D is in such a position that the governor R can operate the low-pressure valve Va for variations of speed. Simultaneously the piston valve S2 is operated but the downward movement of the spindle A returns it again to the neutral position by means of lever B, whereby the opening of the valve Vf is prevented. Should the speed fall when the valve Va is fully open, the valve Vf is then operable by the governor. In the event of the low-pressure supply falling below a predetermined limit, the piston D falls and the piston valve S1 is thereby moved to close the valve Va, and live steam only is admitted to the turbine. The movement of the valves H1, H2 is regulated by providing pivots P1, P3, which are adjustable by hand. In a modification, the piston D operates both valves S1, H1 in contrary directions, thereby rendering the device more sensitive.

Title: Improvements in connection with Breech-mechanism for Ordnance.
IPC: F41A19/36

Granted: 1915-01-19
Abstract: 1387. Beardmore & Co., W., Bremberg, A., and Banks, A. Z. Jan. 19. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to breech mechanism of the kind in which a transversely movable breech-block is operated by a two-armed lever connected to the breech-block by a link, which in the closed position locks the mechanism on the toggle-link principle, and, when the breech is opened, serves also to cock the firing-pin. According to the invention, (1) the link comprises two arms lying one on either side of the firing-pin and engaging lugs thereon so as to retract the firmg-pin when the breech is opened, (2) the sear is pressed into engagement with the firing-pin by the opening movement of the link, and (3) a safety device is provided to prevent the release of the sear until the breech is closed. As shown in the closed position in Fig. 1, the breech-block A is connected to the arm B' of a lever B by a link C' having two branches one on each side of the firing-pin D, and the firing- pin D has lugs D<1> bearing against the back of the link C<1>, which retracts the firing-pin when the breech is opened. The recess D' of the pin is then caught by an arm E' of a spring-controlled sear, while another arm E<5> of the sear is pushed by the link C' past the nose G<6> of a spring plunger G, which thereupon advances and locks the sear. When however, the breech is again closed, the lever B rocks a piece G<2> from the position shown in Fig. 3 to the position shown in Fig. 4, and, the piece G<2> being coupled by a pin G<1> to the plunger G, the plunger is retracted and releases the sear. A hand cocking-lever H is also provided in a known manner.
