Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 2568. Robson, G., and Swank, H. Jan. 31. Pumps for corrosive liquids; materials, special. - Pumps for dealing with corrosive liquids, for instance in mines, are made with their working parts of wood or glass as far as possible. The outer frame 1, 16, 25, Figs. 5 and 6, is made trough-shaped, and carries three rectangular blocks of wood 60, bored out to form the cylinders. The plungers 65 are of glass with steel rods 67. The various metal and wood members forming the barrels and surrounding parts are packed with sheets 71 of rubber, so as to allow for expansion of the wood. The bevelled valve block 75 is bored with three inlet ports 78, leading to the inlet chamber 81 in the block 80. These blocks are held together by yokes 83 and hook-and-eye connexions 84 in order to permit easy removal. The inlet valve consists of a leather flap 90 secured to the valve block 75 by a fibre bolt and nut 91 and 93 and wooden washer 92. A glass weight 94 is secured to the leather flap by the fibre bolt 95. The valve is accessible through the hole 64. The outlet valves are similar to the inlet valves. The outlet chamber 100 is formed in a wooden block 101, which is attached by hook-and-eye connexions 56. Access to the outlet valves is obtained through the plugs 103.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Air Brakes.
Inventor: CHRISTENSEN NIELS ANTON
IPC: B60T15/30
Filed: 1912-06-12
Granted: 1912-12-19
Abstract: 13,794. Christensen, N. A. July 7, 1911, [Convention date]. Fluid-pressure.-A triple valve for air brakes, constructed to supply and exhaust the brake cylinder in the usual manner, is provided with additional ports which, during a service application of the brakes, vent the train-pipe into a chamber and allow the air thus vented to the chamber to be utilized for supplying the brake cylinder in a subsequent application. Fig. 2 shows a section of the triple valve taken through the additional ports, the valve being in the release position. The additional ports comprise a cavity g and charging-groove h formed in the main valve, and ports b, c, d formed in the valve seat and leading respectively to the trainpipe, venting - chamber, and brake cylinder. During an application of the brakes, the cavity g first connects the ports c, d, thus allowing the air previously stored in the venting-chamber to be supplied to the brake cylinder, and then connects the ports b. c so as to vent the trainpipe to the chamber. The groove h serves to ensure the maintenance of pressure in the venting-chamber, since it connects this chamber to the train-pipe in the release position, as shown.

Abstract: 15,822. Clifton & Baird, and Clifton, C. H. July 6. Lathes.-In a bar-cutting machine of the type in which one or more tangential cutters are carried by a rotating head, the cutters are fed in simultaneously by ratchet mechanism. The work g is held in vices and passes through an opening in the head e, which is rotated through gearing from a motor. Two cutter slides j are slidably mounted on the head and hold the tools i tangential to the work, each tool being supported by projections q. The cutters are fed automatically by ratchet gear operated by a lever m and cam-surfaces o twice in each revolution, but to render each cutter separately adjustable, the bevel pinion v is slidably mounted on the shaft w, Fig. 3, and can be disengaged by an eccentric stnd y on a shaft z, a spring x ensuring re-engagement.

Abstract: 16,316. Lumsden, T. July 12. Circular-saw machines. - Relates to sawing- machines of the internal-toothed cutter-disk type. The cutter-disk g is bolted to a ring h rotating in an annular frame f, which is pivoted on a transverse shaft b and carries a rack p engaged by a worm o on a vertical shaft n supported by a column m on the machine bed a. The main shaft e rotates through toothed gearing the shaft b, which carries a pinion engaging teeth on the outer surface of the ring hand thus rotates the saw. The saw is fed through the work by rotating the worm-shaft n, either by means of a hand-wheel 11 and bevel-gearing 12, or by locking a bevel-wheel q at its lower end to either of two bevel-wheels r, s on a shaft t by means of a clutch z operated by a pin 2 on a shaft 4 carrying a hand-lever 5. The shaft t is rotated from the shaft e through belt and worm gearing w, y. A suitable trip device for disconnecting the clutch when the work is cut through, or to any desired extent, consists of a vertical rod 6, which carries adjustable stops 7 adapted to be engaged by a projection 8 on the frame f and at its lower end is provided with stops 9 engaging one end of a lever 10 on the shaft 4. The bar to be sawn is clamped in two work-holders, one fixed and the other mounted on wheels or rollers and adjustable in position on a slide on the bed-plate a by means of a chain and hand-operated sprocket-wheels.

Abstract: 5102. Hofmann, E. O. Feb. 28. Shutters.-Relates to a clock-work device for attachment to a camera for automatically actuating the shutter lever after a predetermined interval and again after a predetermined exposure. The clock-work is contained in a casing 1, Figs. 1 and 2, and to its spindle 2 is fixed a ratchet-wheel 4 co-operating with a pawl 8 carried by a loosely - mounted ring 8. An index 30 on the ring 8 is set in relation to a scale on the casing 1, according to the interval required before exposure, and an index 31 on a loosely-mounted disk 12 is set in relation to a time-exposure scale on the ring 8. The spindle 2 is then wound up by means of a knob 29 until a stud 6 on the ratchet-wheel 4 engages a stop 7 on the casing 1, the disk 12 being then clamped to the spindle 2 by the knob 29. As the clockwork unwinds, a stud 14 on the ring 8 engages the vertical arm 16 of a lever 16, 16<1>, 16<11>, which has a cushioning-device 33, and the free end of the arm 16<1> operates the shutter lever. The exposure is terminated by the lever 16 being again tripped by means of a stud 15 on the disk 12. Just before the exposure, a spring-pivoted signal vane 24 is released from a notched disk 21 on the rear end of the spindle 2. When an instantaneous exposure is required, the shutter is suitably set, and the stud 15 is brought into contact with the stud 14. The device is adjustably attached to the camera by means of a clamp and stiff-jointed links.

Abstract: 5872. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. April 22, 1912, [Convention date]. Automatic alarm signals; lamp signals.- Itelates to danger signals, arranged between gun-turrets, of the kind in which electric lamps are employed as signals, and consists in an arrangement wherein the lamps burn uniformly bright when no danger exists and flicker when firing would endanger the guns of the adjacent turret or any part of the ship's structure. Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic plan of the system for indicating when the guns A of the turret T are trained into a position to endanger the turret T' or its guns E. In each turret, fixed electric contact strips or rings are arranged as shown, over which move contact-arms D and G as the turrets are.trained. An electric motor K is connected to the continuous-current mains S+ and -S, and drives two single-phase alternating-current generators L, M, which have different frequencies. The inter-turret circuits are arranged so that when no danger exists (the case illustrated), the current from the generator M alone illuminates the signal lamps N, but when danger exists, the two generators L, M are coupled in series, and by the combination of their different frequencies cause the lamps N to flicker.

The plate b is tapered, so as to allow for the increasing size of the packet, by making it, at the front, of a width equal to the length of one cigarette, and its width at the back is increased by an amount equal to that due to the side flaps. The wrapper is pulled forward, a cigarette placed upon it, and the flaps are folded down by plates c reciprocated by a treadle on a link n. The centre pin of the link-work l. m, works in a path o curved as shown in Fig. 2, to ensure that one flap goes down before the other. Gum is applied previously to the folding operation by pads t on wires s operated by links v, v<1>, v<2> to dip in a gum-trough x, and to contact with the ends of the flaps of the wrapper.
