Patent GB-191002621-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Despatch Systems.
Inventor: HAZARD FREDERICK JAMES HAWORTH
IPC: B65G51/08
Filed: 1910-02-02
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 2621. Hazard, F. J. H., and Hazard, E. L. Feb. 2. Pneumatic dispatch apparatus.-A terminal air inlet is provided with a closure 25 which moves at a speed proportional to the speed of the carrier in the tube; and the speed of the closure is adjustable independently of that of the carrier. Air enters the tube 8 by ports in the collar 16, which are adjustable in area. The vacuum below the carrier in the pipe 8 causes the plug 25 to rise, and, at the top of its stroke, this plug closes the pipe 8. Air is admitted beneath the plug through a needle valve 21, which serves to regulate the rate of movement of the plug 25. When a carrier is inserted into the system, the air pressure in the pipe 8 causes the plug 25 to fall. The bulk of the air beneath it escapes through a large non-return valve 29, and the remainder serves as a cushion to minimize the shock.

Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 4708. Northcott, W. H. Feb. 25. Aerostats are continuously inflated by passing in (1) the exhaust gases of the motor mixed with cold air, (2) air heated by the exhaust gases; or, in case the motor is stopped, by passing in the gases issuing from lamps in the car. The exhaust pipe f<4> of the motor c is connected by pipes f<1> with the nozzles f<2> situated in the bell-mouthed openings a' below the balloons a, so as to draw in air. The pipes f<1> are fitted with control valves f<3>, and the exhaust pipe has a valve f<6> near its outlet. The operation of these valves enables the amount of exhaust gases passed into the balloon to be regulated. To prevent the temperature of the mixture from exceeding a certain maximum, a thermometric appliance g is placed in each balloon and is connected to the valves f<3> or the valve f<6>, or to spring- controlled escape valves h which may be handoperated. An electric bell may also be rung by the appliance g. The exhaust gases may be passed through an apparatus through which air is driven by a fan j<2>. The air may be used to cool the engine and is then further heated by the exhaust gases, being finally passed into the balloons by pipes f<8>.

Abstract: 28,641. Roberts, A. E., and Turner, J. B. Dec. 9. [Addition to 10,792/10.] Rotary washing and like.-In further apparatus for carrying out the process described in the parent Specification, according to which the washing of textile fabrics comprises, alternately, soaking in the treating liquor and draining in an atmosphere of steam, use is made of (1) a cage which is alternately raised and lowered in the treating-kier or from which the liquor is intermittently run away, or (2) apparatus resembling that described in the parent Specification, in which the liquor passes longitudinally through. the cage from either end and out through perforations in the middle of its cylindrical shell. In the first modification, the cage c, Fig. 1, which has been run into the kier a, can be raised and lowered by gear h, i, j, k, g, f. A system of pipes and a pump n serve to draw off and deliver treating-liquor to a spray-pipe l at the top of the cage, and through a flexible pipe m<3> and the perforated shaf t e of the cage c. The cage c may remain stationary, and the kier or casing a may be alternately filled and drained. In the second modification, the cage c, having perforated end plates c<1> and perforations c<2> at or near the centre of its length, is mounted on a carriage q, and is rotated by gearing outside the casing a. In use, the treating - liquor enters the kier through boxes x, passes through telescopic joints w, hollow headers r, and the disks c<1> into the cage c, wherein it flows through the materials to the perforations c<2>. Some liquor is also sprayed from a spray-pipe l over the cage. In a cage for one piece of fabric only, the perforations c<2> may be at one end of the cage only, there being only one header (at the other end).

Title: Improvements in Variable Speed and Reversing Gearing.
Inventor: NETTENSTROM DAVID
IPC: F16H37/08
Filed: 1911-06-07
Granted: 1912-06-07
Abstract: 13,647. Nettenstrom, D. June 7. Variable-speed and reversing gearing having a driving-gear A, a driven gear B, and an intermediate gear C, is provided with means for con- 'trolling the planetary motion of the gear C comprising two opposed direction-reversing devices. The gears A, B are secured to driving and driven shafts 1, 2, respectively, and the gear or gears C are supported in a carrier 4, which carries also a bevel-wheel D'. Bevel-pinions 5, turning upon fixed spindles and gearing the wheel D' to a bevel-wheel 7<a> upon a loose disk 7, constitute one reversing-device. The other reversing-device is a variable-speed friction gearing connecting the disk 7 to a disk 9 keyed to the shaft 1. Friction idlers 8 connect the disks 7, 9, and the variation in speed is effected by varying the inclinations of these idlers, which are suitably mounted and geared together for the purpose. When the idlers 8 are in the position indicated by the lines XX, the carrier 4 is driven at the same speed as the shaft 1. In this configuration, a clutch member 11 sliding on feathers on the boss of the wheel A may be caused to grip a surface D<2> upon the carrier 4, so as to relieve the friction gearing. By tilting the idlers 8 sufficiently, the shaft 2 may be driven reversely. In a modified arrangement, the carrier 4 is secured to the shaft 1, and the bevel-gear A is connected to the controlling- gearing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Automatically Steadying Aeroplanes.
IPC: B64C1/00
Filed: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 14,722. Soo. Antoinette. June 30, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Balancing automatically. The automatic balancing - device comprises a series of oscillating electric contacts which, when the machine tilts through a predetermined angle, close the circuits of the field magnets and armature of an electromotor coupled to the balancing-planes. The direction of the current through the field magnet changes according to the direction of tilt. The motor is normally held stationary by an electro-magnet 9 acting on an iron disk 8 secured to the shaft of the motor. When the machine tilts, the circuit of the electro-magnet 9 is broken, and the electromotor is free to rotate. The contacts are arranged to oscillate between stops 6, 6' in a plane at right-angles to the axis about which equilibrium is to be obtained, and consist of a pointed rod 1 resting in a mercury cup 3 and having a platinum contact-piece 5. The contacts a, b control the normally-closed circuit of the electro-magnet 9 and are set at a slightly less angle to the vertical than the contacts d, d', c, c<1> which control the armature circuits of the electromotor, so that the circuit of the electro-magnet is broken and the motor shaft released before the motor is energized. The contacts c, d come into operation before the contacts c<1>, d<1> so that excitation of the motor increases with the inclination of the machine. The current through the windings I of the field magnet is controlled by the contacts e, f, g, h, so that the polarity of the field magnets changes according to the tilt of the machine. Similar contacts e', f<1>, g<1>, h<1> are provided for the field-magnet windings I<1>. In operation, assuming the machine tilts to the left-hand side the contact b moves away from the stud 6 and breaks the circuit of the electro - magnet 9. The contacts d, d<1> then progressively close the circuits of the armatures l, l<1> and the contacts e, f close the circuit of the field-magnet I. Separate sets of oscillating contacts are provided for controlling the longitudinal and lateral equilibrium devices; or, the contacts b can be arranged in the centre of a circle of stud contacts 6 so as to operate the appropriate balancing-members when the machine tilts in any direction.
