Granted: 1910-12-05
Abstract: 10,984. Hill, B. B. Nov. 3, 1909. Air tubes and chambers; jackets and covers.- The air-tubes of pneumatic tyres are reinforced by diagonal strips of leather w, preferably treated with rubber by the Silberrad process. The meeting edges of the strips at the sides of the tyre may be free or be laced or sewn together, and the ends of the strips, which meet on the inner circumference of the air-tube, may meet in straight or zig-zag lines and be loosely laced together so that the air-tube may expand. The tread parts of the strips may be provided with slits 12, as shown in Fig. 1, to make them flexible, and they may be covered internally and externally by canvas layers z, which are preferably open tubes to allow the air-tube to expand. The strips w may be combined with circumferential strips 4 of leather, which may be treated with rubber and are arranged at the tread only or at the tread and the sides of the tube. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the circumferential strips 4 are arranged between two layers of strips w, which are inclined in opposite directions. In some cases the edges of the strips w may overlap and be cemented together, the overlapping parts being covered with strips of canvas. According to the Provisional Specification, the ends of the strips w may be tapered and overlap under the base of the air-tube, which may be thicker than the tread and sides of the air-tube.

Title: Improvements in Electric Arc Lamps for use with Search Light Projectors.
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1910-06-22
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 15,018. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Nebel, J. June 22. Arc lamps.-A focusing-lamp for a search-light projector is constructed so that its electrodes, which are fed horizontally or nearly so, are brought into contact whenever the lamp is extinguished by switching a supplementary resistance into its circuit. The lamp can thus be re-lit without delay. In one arrangement, the resistance K and an electromagnet G and a make-and-break switch G<1>, adapted to feed the electrodes by means of a pawl and ratchet-wheel, are connected in shunt to the main switch M, the electrodes C, and an arc-striking coil F. When the switch M is open, the switch arm rests against a contact connected to the electromagnet G so that the electrodes on meeting shortcircuit the last named. In a lamp to be used for short periods only, the coil F may put the feeding- mechanism out of action when the arc is struck. In another arrangement, a rotary electric motor is used for feeding. The make-and break switch is then dispensed with, and the electro-magnet G actuates a switch in a second shunt circuit containing an electro-magnet. This when excited moves a switch arm so as to open a short-circuit across the terminals of the armature and connect them in parallel with the permanently-excited field winding in a third shunt circuit. Specifications 18,681/07 and 7821/10 are referred to.

Abstract: 18,200. Hartley, J. W., and Bishop, R. H. July 30. Roundabouts.-In an amusement device, passenger cars k, l are carried in intersecting circular paths by rotating arms g, h, respectively. The arms consist of parallel girders, which are pivoted to a frame i and connected at the ends by the rods m that support the cars. The frames i are pivoted at the ends of vertical driving-shafts a, b, which are geared together to prevent the cars from colliding. When the arms rotate, they are guided in oblique planes by wheels o, which run on rails n. The frames i have wheels r running on undulating rails s, and the combined effect of the rails n, s is to give the cars a vertical reciprocation and an endlong pitching motion in addition to the rotation about the central shaft.

Title: Improvements in Magazine Arc Lamps.
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1913-02-26
Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 4926. Brockie, J., and Johnson & Phillips. Feb 26. Arc lamps.-In a magazine lamp, double electrodeholders a, Fig. 1, are moved in the planes of the magazines when a pair of electrodes has been fed completely out of the magazines, in order that new electrodes may be fed through the holders, in the correct positions for use, while the stumps of the old electrodes are still burning. After the second pair has been similarly fed completely out of the magazines, the holders return to their original positions. As shown, each holder a may be carried by a lever b pivoted at b<0> to a magazine and bearing at its upper end a pin which enters a groove in a cam disk d. Attached to this disk is a ratchet-wheel engaged by a pawl on a lever g, which is actuated by a vertically-moving feed-bar f passing through slots in both magazines. The new electrodes may be fed into contact, thus shortcircuiting the old ones; or the arc between the old electrodes may be extinguished as soon as the new electrodes are nearer each other than are the old ones. The latter arrangement is described as applied to a lamp in which each magazine has two sections from which the electrodes are fed alternately by tappets on opposite sides of a chain. These tappets may engage contacts 2, Fig. 3, so as to close a circuit through a blow-out coil or increase the current through a shunt solenoid 4, say by cutting out resistance. In the latter case, the shunt solenoid tilts a lever 9 and thus closes a cut-out circuit at contacts 5 to extinguish the arc. A series-solenoid core 7 drops on to the lever 9 and increases the pressure of the cut-out contacts. The series-solenoid core also swings one magazine by means of linkage 8 and brings the new electrodes into contact, an arc being then struck. Specification 27,725/06 is referred to.
