Title: Locking Apparatus for Levers and the like.
Inventor: TAYLOR HAROLD MIDGLEY
IPC: G05G5/18
Filed: 1909-12-22
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 29,927. Taylor, H. M. Dec. 22. Levers &c., locking. - Relates to devices for positively locking levers, wheels, &c. in any position. The lever l, Fig. 1, carries guides d in which bear slides c carrying locking teeth a, b, which are so placed that the distance between them is an odd multiple of one-half the distance apart of the teeth e forming the fixed rack. The slides are connected by a pivoted lever f, which is depressed from the handle m by a rod n when the lever l is to be adjusted and moves back under the influence of a spring j when the handle is released, so that one or both of the teeth a, b will engage the fixed rack in every position of the lever l. As applied to a wheel l, Fig. 4, the fixed rack e has an odd number of teeth, and the teeth a, b carried in the guides d are disengaged by depressing the wheel l which carries a lever f engaging bell-crank levers o operating the teeth. In all forms, the rack may be attached to the moving part and the locking teeth fixed. The racks may be duplicated. Also the device may be applied to objects moving in straight lines.

Abstract: 1062. Jackson, S. S. Dec. 20, 1909. Weft-replenishing mechanism.-In a loom wherein weft - failure, detected by weft - fork mechanism, causes the loom to be stopped and a normally - stationary change-shaft to be rotated, this shaft first operating weft - replenishing mechanism and then automatically restarting the loom, the shipper shaft 21, Fig. 3, is provided with a finger 396, Figs. 1 and 3, which acts upon a. downward extension 395 of a dog 39 when the shipper handle 20 is turned into its " off " position and prevents the change-shaft from being accidentally actuated. When the weft-fork mechanism 30, 31 is actuated, an arm 36 and shaft 37 are rocked, an arm 38 secured to the shaft 37 and carrying a stud on which the dog 39 is pivoted being also rocked; this dog normally engages the shoulder 42 on an arm 41 on a shaft 411, thereby rocking this shaft and causing the loom to be stopped and the change-shaft to be operated, but if the weft-fork mechanism should be operated with the shipper handle in its " off " position, when, for example, the loom is being run by hand, the arm 38 is rocked, but the dog 39, having been raised by the projection 396, moves idly without operating the arm 41 and shaft 411.

Filed: 1911-03-09
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 5989. Dumontier, F. April 6, 1910, [Convention date]. Atmospheric vapour burners ; vaporizing - apparatus.-Oil is introduced through a pipe 5 and allowed to drop on to the inner wall 6 of a vaporizing- chamber 1 which in cross-section is shaped like a horseshoe. The vapour generated passes under a partition 4, which extends across the chamber, and escapes through a passage 12 surrounding the oil inlet pipe to a nozzle 15 through which it passes into a mixing-chamber 19. The mixing-chamber has in its end, surrounding the nozzle, a series of fixed air inlets, and at its side is provided with adjustable air inlets 22. The air and vapour pass into the chamber 3, where further mixing is caused by helical ribs 25, and, a light being applied through the opening 2, the mixture burns, producing fresh gas and effecting the heating of the vaporizing-chamber. In a modification, the mixing - chamber is arranged to receive atmospheric air through a series of fixed inlets, and also an adjustable supply of air, the temperature of which may be regulated. A rib 9 at the bottom of the vaporizing chamber provides a well for the reception of unvaporized oil residues, and also assists in causing the vapour to flow upwards after passing the partition 4.

Abstract: 4297. Augustine, B. F. Feb. 20. Fixed-abutment type; working-fluid supply; starting; balancing moving parts; cooling parts; governing pumps; valve-gear.-Rotary engines having devices for balancing the radial fluid thrust on the rotor and the centrifugal force of the outwardly-sliding vanes, as described in Specification 9458/11, are modified to act as internal-combustion engines. A rotary compressor of the outwardly-sliding vane type, Fig. 12, is arranged to deliver a compressed charge to a rotary internal-combustion engine, Fig. 1, of the same type arranged on the same shaft 18, Fig. 2. Air through a pipe 134 and gas through a valve 136 are drawn into the compressor through a spring-controlled valve 132 connected to the gas-valve. The mixture is delivered through a valve 130 to a receiver 129, which communicates with a pipe 10 leading by way of valves 5, 6 to the combustion chamber 12. The valve 5 is oscillated by a variable eccentric 59, Fig. 7, the throw of which is adjusted by a speed-governor 70 secured to a fly-wheel 65. The valve spindle 63 carries the contact 7, the sparking-plug 74 being suitably connected. The valve 6 is designed to protect the valve 5 against the explosion, and is operated by suitable links from a cam 94 on the spindle 63. For starting, an initial charge is supplied through an inlet 78, a hand-switch 76<a> controlling the ignition. A pipe 140 connects the receiver 129 with a cylinder 141, so that when the pressure in the receiver exceeds a certain limit, a piston 142 opens a valve 138 against the pressure of a spring 139, and allows the compressed mixture to return through a passage 137 to the inlet side of the compressor. The engine rotor and casing are provided with water-cooling chambers, as shown.
