Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Automatically Recording Intervals of Time between the Passage of Trains on a Track and the Speed of the Trains.
IPC: G01P1/12
Filed: 1909-03-25
Granted: 1910-05-12
Abstract: 376. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. March 25, 1909, [Convention date]. Recording movements of trains.-Apparatus for recording the speed of trains and the intervals between their passage, comprises a device which traces, on a continuously driven drum, a series of approximately straight lines which by their position show the time and the intervals between passages, and by their length the time occupied by the train in passing over a measured track section, thus giving the speed. A train passing on to the section closes a contact K<1> and thus energizes magnets PM, SM from the battery B. The former attracts its armature i and actuates an electric pendulum P, which continuously makes and breaks the circuit of the magnets The magnet SM, when energized, attracts its armature a which is attached to the anchor of an escape-wheel b, which is thus turned through one step by its spring. A pinion c turned therewith gears with a sector d on one end of a lever, the other end of which carries a style f working over an horizontally rotating drum g marked out for time intervals. The first movement of the escape-wheel b closes a contact h, which maintains the circuit from the battery after the train has left the contact K', while subsequent energizations caused by the pendulum P each turn the wheel through one step, thus marking out a practically vertical line on the slowly rotating drum. When the train reaches the end of the section, it closes a contact K<2> in the circuit of a magnet RM which attracts its armature. This armature is attached to the lever of the style, and returns the style to zero, the pinion c being only clutched to the wheel b in one direction of motion.

Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 7733. Harriman, J. E., Hendrickson, J. F., and Moore, H. E. March 30. Couplings, disconnectible; rod couplings; sleeve joints.-Couplings for pipes, rods, shafting, and other cylindrical articles are made in three parts; these parts are provided with internal cylindrical portions to engage the ends of the articles to be connected, and they also have coacting eccentric faces which bind when the parts are rotated relatively. As shown in Fig. 1, internal cylindrical parts 15 are provided in the central element 13 and also in the end ones 14. The latter are also provided with enlarged orifices, the walls 17 of which are eccentric and are made to bear on the outer eccentric walls of the spigots 16 on the central member. The parts 16, 17 are of substantially the same diameter. The ends of the pipes or other articles are, as shown in Fig. 2, chamfered and are butted together with packing 20 between them. The three elements are brought together, and the parts are then relatively rotated, polygonal surfaces being provided to facilitate this, so that the eccentric surfaces jamb one on to another and thus secure the joint. A groove 22 may be made in the spigot 16, so that a transverse pin 23 may be forced home to prevent the end members from axial displacement when not in the clamped position, and for shaft couplings the end members may be tapered externally. The ends of the pipe being chamfered, any fluid pressure in the pipe will force the packing outwards and thus make the joint more secure as the pressure increases.

Abstract: 10,832. Druitt, P. W., and Gilpin, W. R. May 4. [Cognate Application, 24,523/11.] Distributing matrices; magazines.-Relates to machines having two or more magazines, and particularly to means for separating the several kinds of matrices and directing them into the proper magazines. In the arrangement described, which is adapted for two magazines, the matrices b, Fig. 1, on leaving the distributor bar a, fall upon an arresting-device consisting of two bars c, each provided with a projection c'. The matrices have in their lower edges notches b<1> having a steep and a sloping side, the notches being reversely arranged in the two groups of matrices. The bars care intermittently oscillated away from each other by a cam driven from one of the distributor spindles so that each matrix is thrown to the right or to the left according to the notch in its foot. The matrices are erected by abutments k so that they fall in an upright position into the magazines. To ensure the matrices falling properly on to the bars c, guide-plates h, which are oscillated synchronously with the bars c, are provided. The guide-plates may be replaced by latches which are stepped or grooved to engage the upper ears of the matrices and prevent them from rebounding. The arresting- bars c and the guide-plates h may be combined together, as shown in Fig. 6. When matrices from only one magazine are in use, a pivoted guide-plate or comb m is brought into position to guide all the matrices into one magazine, and the bars c and plates h are put out of action. Should the guide-plates h fail to return to normal position after each movement, the usual distributor stop-mechanism is brought into action to stop the machine. A changespeed gear is interposed between the distributor screws g and their driving-mechanism, to enable the distributor to be driven at a higher speed when only one magazine is in use. The escapements are operated by sliding bars u, Fig. 5, having shoulders u<1>, u<2> which engage the escapement-levers. The bars u are moved in either direction to operate either set of escapements by three-armed levers v engaged by rods w. The rods w are moved by hand into engagement with either the arms v<2> or the arms v<1> of the three-armed levers. The rods w are given a longer stroke than is necessary, and the excess of movement is absorbed by springs interposed between the two parts of each rod.

Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 2639. Alard, L. Feb. 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Cartridge loading and unloading machines.- Relates to apparatus for detaching and reattaching ordnance projectiles from and to cartridge cases to enable the charge of explosive to be altered, and consists mainly in operating upon two cartridges simultaneously, by a push- and-pull device disposed between them so as to balance the stresses and to reduce the bulk of the machine. In the form shown in Fig. 2, projectile clamps f are yoked together and secured to the frame a, and cartridge - case holders i are yoked together and actuated by a screw shaft o. When the yoke i moves back to such an extent that the cartridge case is detached from the projectile, jaws u are removed from a fixed sleeve c and spring outwards to permit the remaining displacement of the yoke i to be performed quickly by hand. After the explosive charge has been altered, the yoke i is returned forwards by hand until the jaws u glide into the sleeve c and become locked to the screw o<1>, the handle s of the shaft o is then turned to force the cartridge case on to the projectile. If the mouth of the case has been too enlarged by the withdrawal, it is contracted by a ring temporarily placed against the fixed yoke c, before the cartridge is reassembled. The holder i has a groove j for gripping the rim of the case during withdrawal, and a pivoted cover m for pressing the case during reinsertion. In a modification, the push-andpull device consists of a piston working in a cylinder to which fluid pressure is applied preferably by the discharge of a blank cartridge. The energy imparted to the yoke i is partly stored in springs for the reinserting operation, the yoke i being caught by a trigger at the end of its stroke where it is cushioned by a spring buffer; or the reinsertion is performed by another piston working in the opposite direction.
