Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 25,461. Jack, J. H., [Warner & Co., H. H.]. Nov. 15. Oil reservoirs.-Oil is supplied from a main reservoir b to a secondary reservoir b<1>, in communication with the oilcontainer g of the burner, by an air-locked siphon c, c' having both limbs contained within the single structure within which both reservoirs are embodied. A tube f conducts air from above the reservoir b into the space above the oil in the reservoir b<1>, and air flows from this space through a tube e to the space above the oil in the reservoir b until oil covers the lower end of this tube, whereupon the flow of oil through the siphon is stopped. The siphon contains a cock d which must be closed before the plug i of the filling- aperture can be removed, owing to engaging projections on the plug and the handle of the cock, and this handle is so arranged that the cock cannot be closed until the reservoir is removed from the lantern casing. A reflector j protects the reservoir from the radiant heat of the burner, and a circulation of air is set up in a space j<1> between the reflector and the reservoir.

Abstract: 2151. Frommer, R. Feb. 27, 1911, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breechblock.-Relates to means for converting automatic guns of the sliding-barrel type into handloaders, and consists in a sliding member, on the casing, adapted to engage the barrel on both sides when the weapon is adjusted for hand-loading, and at the same time to actuate a retaining-catch for the breech-bolt to prevent accidental opening of the breech. Fig. 2 is a plan of the device, and Fig. 4 is a vertical section through the sliding member. The vertically-sliding member 3 is actuated by rotating the spindle 9, carrying a pinion 7 engaging a rack 6 on the member 3, and is adapted to engage shoulders 2 on the barrel 1 to adjust the weapon for hand-loading. The head 10 of the spindle 9 carries a projection 12, engaging one or other of two grooves 13 in the casing, according as the breech-operation is to be automatic or manual, and a torsion spring 14 ensures that the member shall remain in one or other of its two positions. The member 3 carries a rack 21 engaging a pinion 20 on the recoil rod 16, which rotates, as the member 3 is raised into engagement with the shoulders 2, and disengages a coupling-sector 17 from the part 18 of the breech action, thereby throwing the recoil spring out of action. A stud 32 on the member 3 engages an inclined groove 31, Fig. 7, in a slide 30 having an oblique rear face 29, Fig. 2, actuating the corresponding face 27 of the spring-controlled handle 23 pivoted to the breech block, and carrying a catch 26 adapted to engage the breech casing 4. The upward motion of the sliding member into the handloading position causes this catch to take up the full-line position, and lock the breech against accidental opening.

Abstract: 28,860. Lanz, H., [Firm of]. March 27, [Convention date]. Interlocking and guarding against wrong movements and the like.-Comprises interlocking means between the change-speed gear and a clutch adapted to lock the differential gear, which prevent the differential gear being locked when the lowest or lower speeds are in gear, and vice versa. The low speed is operated by a lever l having an arm n which, in the position shown in Fig. 4, bears against a lug p on a sliding rod o connected to a rocking shaft which operates the locking-clutch u. Thus, the lever l cannot be rotated to put the low speed in gear until the clutch u is disengaged and the lug p thereby removed from the path of the arm n. When the low speed is in gear, the end of the arm n prevents the lug p from moving in the direction to allow the clutch u to be engaged.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Apparatus for Securing the Doors of Railway Carriages and like Vehicles.
Inventor: TATE THOMAS
IPC: E05B65/38
Filed: 1913-04-28
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 9953. Tate, T., and Molloy, M. April 28. Pneumatically - operated fastenings. - In apparatus for locking and unlocking the doors of railway - carriages &c., two power cylinders which are controlled from the guard's van are arranged beneath the vehicle, one cylinder for locking and the other for unlocking the doors of the carriage; while each side set of doors is adapted to be independently operated by hand. The two cylinders 6, 7, Fig. 4, have their piston-rods 9, 12 connected to the common shaft 11 by cranks disposed respectively below and above the shaft. When the shaft is rocked, segments 14, Fig. 2, on each side of the carriage are also rocked and by means of teeth, longitudinally move the rods 4, arranged alongside the carriage. A pin 39, co-operating with the rod 4, engages a slot in the bolt 2, pivoted at 3 to the side of the carriage. Within the bolt 2 is mounted a spring-pressed latch 25 which permits of slamming of any door after the others have been locked. To hold the bolt in the locking or unlocking position without maintaining the steam pressure, the bolt is provided with an arm 20, a pin 21 on which is attached to a spring 22 fixed to the pin 23 on the carriage in such a position that the bolt in the locking and unlocking positions is on one or other side of the dead centre. A cock in the guard's van controls the admission of steam from pipe 16 to the cylinder 7 to lock the doors or from pipe 15 to the cylinder 6 to unlock the doors. For operating the doors independently by hand, a lever 29, Fig. 7, is arranged on each side of the carriage and is designed first to unclutch the rocking segment 14 from the cross-shaft 11. To this end, the lever 29 is provided with a grip-handle 35 whose inward movement, by means of the rod 37 and the bellcrank 38, pushes in the rod 31 and thus forces the connected clutch-member 32, keyed to the shaft 11, against the spring 33. Instead of employing a grip-handle 35, the lever 29 itself may be fitted at its base with a double inclined cam 30, Fig. 5, in such a way that the first movement of the hand-lever 29 brings the cam into operation and forces in the clutch rod 31, again unclutching the shaft 11 and the rocking segment 14. To prevent breaking of the bolts when the doors of one side of the carriage have already been locked by operation of the handlever and it is then attempted to lock the remaining doors from the cylinders, the bolts 2 are resiliently connected, Figs. 2 and 4, to the longitudinal rods 4 by mounting each pin 39 on a block 40 which is held between springs 41, 42 and is guided by rods 45, 46 passing through stops 43, 44 on the bar 4. To prevent accumulation of condensed steam, a drain-cock on each cylinder is arranged to be opened by the movement of the piston-rod by means of rods 49, 51, 53 or 50, 52, 54 respectively.
