Granted: 1909-04-22
Abstract: 9815. Williams, L. W., and Walker, W. May 6. Points and switches, railway. Relates to selfreversing two-way switch levers and retaining- devices, by which the point tongues are normally retained in either of their two set positions, and are reversed automatically by the vehicle wheels when trailed through. The ground lever 1, Fig. 1, is mounted on a pin 2 and engages the forked or slotted end of one arm 6 of a bell-crank lever mounted on a vertical pin, the other arm 7 of which is connected to one of the point tie-rods 11. Fig. 6 shows the plan of a modified construction of ground lever, in which the bell-crank lever is replaced by a slotted lever 28, pivoted at 29. A projecting lug 13 of V-shape is formed on the underside of the tie-rod 11 so as to engage a grooved roller 14 mounted in a bracket 16, supported either by a sleeper or suitable rigid bar 17, or by a bar of spring steel or suitable material which will allow a small amount of yield. The interaction of the lug 13 and pulley ensures that the tongue comes to rest in one of its two extreme positions and causes the reversal of the points when trailed through. Figs. 4 and 5 show modified arrangements of the retaining - device. Specification No. 14,426, A.D. 1906, is referred to.

The motive fluid and water supplies are connected respectively to inlets l, m forming parts of a cock having a single plug n formed with corresponding recesses o, p. The recesses o, p are so arranged that, when starting the drill, the water supply is first effected, and on further rotation of the plug the motive fluid is admitted, the water supply being then fully open. When the parts are in operative position the motive fluid passes through a passage q to the main and feed cylinders, and the water through a passage r to a recessed and perforated ring j and thence to the tool. The water inlet m is provided with a regulating-valve s. The tool holder is formed with a conical hole t and the drill shank u is correspondingly tapered. The tool is disengaged from the holder by driving a forked wedge between the end of the holder and a collar v on the drill shank Specification No. 7630, A.D. 1908, is referred to.

Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 4290. Keith, J., and Keith, G. Feb. 22. Pressure-regulating valves.-A pressure-regulating valve for controlling the supply of gas to the pilot light of an incandescent gas burner used in order to prevent any alteration in the length of the pilot-flame, comprises a spring- controlled diaphragm D interposed between the regulator casing C and a flange B on a cock A. Gas is admitted to both sides of the diaphragm through ports I, J, k and is led away to the pilot-jet through a passage H controlled by the diaphragm. An increase of pressure on the inlet side I of the cock causes the diaphragm D to move towards the passage H, thus checking the supply of gas to the pilot-jet. A port M in the plug of the cock produces a momentary flash at the pilot-jet when the cock is turned on or off. In the regulator shown in Fig. 3, gas enters at R, passes through the passage P to the upper side of the diaphragm D, and thence through the passage F to the burner. Increase of gas pressure at the inlet R raises the diaphragm and throttles the passage F. The diaphragm may be controlled by a weight S or by a spring.

Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 3918. Hintz, K., and Schmidt, A. Feb. 17. Mechanically operated from or by vehicle.-A travelling band b carried by the train is perforated according to the signals, points, &c. of a predetermined route, and by means of the perforations renders operative or inoperative the mechanical signal-receiving devices m, n &c., or a device on the train for moving switch points over. The train carries two stop or signal levers 7n, n linked to vertical bars f, g, respectively, which rise, as shown for the bar g, when plungers h pass into perforations. In rising, the bar lifts the stop-lever m, n, so that the track contact p engages the arm n. This merely lifts the bar g sufficiently to free the band b from the plunger h, and the band is then moved by a spring until one or other of the plungers h snaps into the next hole. If the contact p engages the stop-lever that is not raised, it engages the arm m, which is then given a movement sufficient, in addition to releasing the band. to operate the brake-rod u. A lever 1, 2, 3, Fig. 6, may be fixed to the front of a locomotive and be held in one of two alternative positions by the perforated band. If a train approaches points which are wrongly set, the arm 3 engages a pin 7 and, by it, moves the points over. When the points are properly set, the pin 7 acts upon one of the stop-levers m, n and causes the band to move to the next position.

Press-button switches.-A distortible conducting member, such as an annular coiled spring 17, Fig. 2, is mounted upon, and kept in position by, a plunger or press-button 13, the longitudinal movement of which produces a change in the dimensions of the member, whereby it is caused to make contact with, and electrically connect, the fixed contacts 9, 9<a>. Fig. 6 shows another form of press-button switch, in which the member 40 is flattened until it touches the contacts 41, 42. Fig. 4 shows the invention embodied in a switch, the plunger of which has no tendency to move back when the operating- force is removed. The plunger is of conducting- material, and engages the fixed contact 24.

Variable-speed gearing.-Expanding belt, rope, and chain pulleys, of the type comprising segments d expanded or contracted by the relative rotation of radially and spirally slotted disks, are adjusted by braking certain elements of epicyclic gearing arranged in connexion with the spirally slotted disks. A bevel-wheel is secured to one of the spirally slotted disks and gears with a wheel g on a shaft h. This shaft has a wheel engaging a worm j on a shaft k supported on a bracket m, the worm shaft carrying a spur-wheel n composed of two wheels of different diameter gearing with a wheel o on the pulley shaft b and a stud wheel on the main casing g ; each wheel gears with a wheel r on the boss of a brake drum s rotatably mounted on the boss of a drum t to which the wheel o is fixed. Brake blocks u, each carried by a lever v, are arranged above and below the drums s, t respectively. The levers are suitably pivoted and their outer ends are coupled by a link, while one is provided with a handle. cord, &c. The second pulley is provided with epicyclic gearing and stationary brake blocks y, the pulley shaft c being journaled in slide blocks a<1> movable in the frame. An increase in diameter of the pulley with movable blocks tightens the belt, pulling the other pulley against the action of springs against one of the blocks y, which operates the epicyclic gearing to adjust the diameter of the second pulley. An internally toothed wheel may be used instead of the bevel-wheel f, the gearing being modified as shown in Fig. 3, or as in Fig. 5. The segments d may be supported at one end only. Jockey pulleys may be employed for taking-up slack. Specification 10,261/10 is referred to.
