IPC: B60B25/20
Filed: 1913-10-13
Granted: 1914-06-11
Abstract: 23,059. Rodney, R. W. H. Oct. 13. Jackets and covers; tyre attachments to rims. -Relates to tyre covers of the kind described in Specification 18,795/12 in which the sides are formed in two separable layers, one or both being divided into flaps. Each layer is now formed with beaded edges which are engaged respectively by fixed and detachable rim members. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the beads g, h are clamped between a fixed ring k and side flanges n detachably secured by setscrews p. The screws may be locked by turning the hinged heads s, against the action of springs u, so as to abut against the sides of the felloe a. In a modification, the side flanges are secured by transverse set-screws. Figs. 4 and 6 show the adaptation of a wheel fitted with an ordinary clincher rim, the side flanges being secured by set-screws 11, Fig. 4, or by spring catches 21, Fig. 6. The air-tube may rest upon a rubber or like cushion fitted in the rim.

Title: Improvements in Means for Supporting the Central Buffer Couplings of Vehicles.
IPC: B61G5/02
Filed: 1913-12-03
Granted: 1914-07-30
Abstract: 27,822. Akt.-Ges. der Eisenund Stahlwerke vorm. G. Fischer. Dec. 3, 1912, [Convention date]. Combined buffer and draw gear.-To facilitate coupling on curves, each central buffer coupler-head 4, Fig. 8, is carried by two bars 2, 3, which cross in an horizontal plane and are each pivoted at the inner end to the vehicle and at the outer end to the coupler-head. The inner ends may be pivoted either directly to the vehicle, in which case spring telescopic bars, as shown in Fig. 6, may be used, or to members which are spring-controlled in relation to the vehicle, as shown in Figs. 4, 5, 7, and 8. In the form shown in Fig. 6, each bar 2, 3 is replaced by a tube 30 adapted to slide upon a rod 29 pivoted to the vehicle, a spring 32 being disposed between loose disks 33, 34 which bear against cross-pieces 35, 36 mounted to slide in slots in the tube 30 and rod 29. The spring is therefore compressed under either a pulling or a pushing strain upon the tube 30. In the construction shown in Fig. 4, the bars 2, 3 are each pivoted to a bolt 16, mounted in a guide fixed to the vehicle, and upon the reduced rear end of each bolt is provided a buffing and draw spring 22 disposed between disks 20, 21 bearing against the ends of a recess 23 in the guide. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the springs 22 serve also to centralize the coupler-head. To each of the bars 2, 3 is pivoted a rod 26, formed with a slot 27 which engages a projection 28 on the corresponding disk 20, so that a forward swing of the bar is resisted by the spring. Fig. 7 shows another modification in which each bar 2, 3 is pivoted to a link 39 which is pivoted at 41 to a support 40 upon the vehicle. A lever 46, also pivoted at 41, has an arm with a flattened end 46<1> bearing against the link 39, and has also a rounded end which bears against the bar 2 or 3 and against a spring-pressed plunger 43 adapted to slide laterally in the support 40, so that the spring is compressed upon any movement of the bars 2, 3 from the normal position. In a further modification, Fig. 8, the inner ends of the bars 2, 3 are pivoted to a frame 53 and through holes in front and rear cross-bars of this frame is passed a rod 48. The forward end of this rod is mounted to slide in a frame 47 fixed to the vehicle, and the reduced rear end passes through a sleeve 49' mounted to slide in the frame 47, the rear cross-bar of the frame 53 being disposed between this sleeve and a nut 54 upon the rod. A buffing and draw spring 51 is disposed between disks 49, 50 mounted upon the rod 48 in a recess of the frame 47. To allow of compression of the spring also upon lateral deflexion of the bars 2, 3, projections 55 may be provided upon the bars to bear against the forward end of the rod 48.

Abstract: 16,184. Maschinenfabrik Augsburg- Nurnberg Akt.-Ges. Sept. 4, 1913, [Convention date]. Holders. - A liquid - seal is formed between the wall of a gasholder and diskshaped closing member by the overflow through the clearance space d of a liquid such as tar from a channel h formed around the edge of the disk. The liquid is collected at the base of the holder and pumped to a channel i at the top whence it is conducted again to the channel h. The quantity of liquid flowing may be regulated by means of a float in the channel, and the flow may be restricted by the use of packing in the clearance space. The packing y may be of circular or wedge-shaped cross-section, and grooves z and channels z' may be formed in the packing to ensure the maintenance of a film of liquid between the packing and the wall. Guide-rollers may be provided on the circumference of the closing-disk, and guides may be formed by projections at the vertical junctions of the wall plates, or a central guiding-pillar may be used; the horizontal junctions of the plates are flanged outwards so as to stiffen the structure. The holder may comprise one or more telescopic inner walls.

Abstract: 18,608. Del Castillo, L. M. J. D. Aug. 12, 1913, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Bell-operating mechanism, electric.-Bells are actuated through a cable coiled upon a drum loosely mounted on and adapted periodically to receive impulses from a shaft driven continuously by an electric motor. In the arrangement described, the drum is secured to the armature of an electro-magnetic clutch 73, the other part being keyed to the driven shaft 57. The clutch is energized by the source 72 through a commutator comprising a large wooden disk 58, loosely mounted on the shaft and operated by the bell, and a smaller disk 61 also loose upon the shaft. The disks carry conducting strips 59, 62 and'insulating strips 60, 63 engaged by the four brushes shown. The smaller disk is rotated by the larger disk through conducting projections 65, 67 and an insulating projection 64. Upon closing the switch 74, the clutch 73 is energized and the bell operated. The bell in turn rotates the disk 58 which at the pre-arranged moment opens the switch 79 and de-energizes the clutch 73 until the reverse movement of the bell brings the commutator back to its initial position. Should the switch 79 not operate at the correct moment, the fuse 86 is caused to blow owing to the connexions of the small disk 61 short-circuiting the source 72. The bells are automatically braked when the motor stops.
