Patent GB-190919414-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Railway Couplings.
Inventor: PRICE WALTER JOSEPH
IPC: B61G1/04
Filed: 1909-08-24
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 19,414. Price, W. J., and Bridge, D. I. Sept. 4, 1908, [Convention date]. Couplings, automatic.-The coupling-link of a railway vehicle is held poised above its coupling position until released by mechanism operated by the impact of the buffers of the approaching vehicles. To the draw-bar hook 24 is pivoted a cradle 25 carrying a link 27. The cradle is integral with a cam 29, having a recess 30 which engages with the detent 31. The detent is counterweighted, and depends from a pivot 33 on the draw-bar. To set the cradle, a hand-lever 41 at the side of the vehicle is moved and turns the cross-bar 39, so that the cradle is raised by the lever 42 until supported by the detent. When the vehicles impinge, a U-shaped cross-bar 35 secured to the buffer-rods disengages the detent, and the link 27 falls and couples the vehicles. The detent 31 may be kept clear of the recess in the inoperative position by an arm 43 attached to the cross-bar 39. When the side buffers are replaced by a central buffercoupling, the cross-bar 35 is replaced by a depending lever adapted to be engaged by a stud on the draw-bar when the vehicles impinge.

Abstract: 1229. Cleaver, H. C. Jan. 17. Revolving doors.-Relates to segmental cylindrical revolving doors, and comprises (1) forming semi-cylindrical doors or pairs of doors, (2) a construction of the fixed screens and door posts, and (3) connecting a pair of doors with mechanism which can be thrown into or out of gear, to cause the doors to rotate together or independently. The semi-cylindrical door rotates within a semicylindrical screen or between an inner and outer screen, and portions of the door and screen may be hinged to open in case of panic. The door post adjacent the revolving door may be recessed to form an air-baffling space. The door may be returned to its normal petition by a spring 42' attached at one end to a non-rotating member 43 and at the other end to an arm 41 on the pivot 40. This arrangement may be replaced by a rising and falling weight ; or by a piston working in oil, or pneumatically controlled. Pairs of doors may be mounted co-axially or on separate axes. Co-axial doors 14, 15 are driven in opposite directions by bevel-gearing 17, 18. 19, the bevel-wheels 17 and 18 being carried by the doors 14, 15 respectively. The bevel-wheel 17 can be thrown into and out of gear with the wheel 18 by a handle 21 on its shaft 16. Doors 23, 24 mounted on separate axes are connected to rotate in the same direction by gearing 26,27, 28, and the rotation of. the doors is governed by a spring 3d attached at one end to a fixed member 32, and at the other end to a stud 29 on the wheel 28. The wheel 27 is thrown into or out of gear with the wheels 26, 28 by a lever 35 and a rod 36 carrying,a a handle 37. The doors, when disconnected from each other, can be rotated independently to take up different relative positions. Projecting flexible rims or flanges are provided on the doors and engage with one another, or the door posts. The doors may be operated by hand, by a lever &c., or by the weight of an operator standing on a movable floor connected to the doors by levers, rotating shafts, and toothed wheels.
