Title: An Elevated Railway for the Conveyance of Passengers' Luggage and other Goods.
Inventor: ARNOLD STANLEY
IPC: B61B3/02
Filed: 1911-10-11
Granted: 1912-10-03
Abstract: 22,406. Arnold, S. Oct. 11. Suspended vehicles.-In means for transferring passengers' luggage &c. in railway stations in which a carriage travels on elevated tracks extending the length of the platforms, the carriages, Fig. 3, are each propelled by a motor driving a shaft 6 carrying a sliding clutch member 10 normally engaging a loose pinion 7 driving the track wheel 15. Hinged members s, t, normally in alinement with the rail, can be projected at the place where it is desired to stop the carriage, by a sliding rod u operated from a central control station to engage a sliding part 17 connected to the clutch lever 16. The clutch is thus disengaged. At the same time an arm 39 integral with the part 17 engages the tail of a retaining-pawl 41 and allows the load rope to run off the drum or sheave 23 under the control of a brake 25. To lift the load, a bar 32, Fig. 4, is raised by pulling a cord so as to elevate a pinion 31 on a vertically moving frame 28 into mesh with a continuously-running pinion on the shaft 6 and a pinion 27 integral with the drum 23. At the same time, a stop 44 is raised to prevent engagement of the clutch 10 should the members s, t be retracted. The luggage is carried in a cage attached to the cable, swinging being prevented by telescoping tubes or girders attached to the cage and to the carriage frame. In a modification, both wheels on one of the axles of the carriage are driven.

Granted: 1912-12-02
Abstract: 27,029. Smith, W. D. Dec. 2, 1910, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism; cleaning and cooling; smoke and gases, deflecting or disposing of.-Relates to gun-flushing devices in which the flushing-fluid enters the gun through ports located in a boring in the breech-block adapted to receive the reciprocating stem of the mushroom head, and consists (1) in adapting the mushroom head to be forced inwards to open the ports by the pressure of the flushing-fluid, and (2) in adapting the fluid-inlet ports to be open to the atmosphere until the mushroom spindle has advanced by a predetermined amount. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the spindle 6 of the mushroom head has a series of fluid ducts 8 arranged along its periphery as shown in cross-section in Fig. 4, and has rigidly attached to it a sleeve 9, perforated by ports 10, 11. A piston 12 rigid with the sleeve 9 is driven forward against a spring 16 by the fluid, entering under pressure through a pipe 19, until the ports 10, which in the normal rearward position of the mushroom head are open to the atmosphere, enter the pressure chamber 17. The fluid then passes along the ducts 8 and enters the gun bore through the ports 11, the mushroom head having been advanced by the piston 12 into its forward position. On cutting off the pressure supply, the spring 16 returns the mushroom head to its rearward position, carrying the ports 10 out of the chamber 17. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the subjectmatter of the divided Specifications (1) 9759/12, which describes a breech-block locking-device unlocked by the advance of the fluid injector, and also means for returning the fluid injector to its normal position if its actuating-spring fails; and (2) 9760/12, which describes a device for injecting dry lubricant into the gun bore with the flushing-fluid. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
