Patent GB-191111292-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Ignition Systems and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: KETTERING CHARLES FRANKLIN
Filed: 1911-05-10
Granted: 1912-08-12
Abstract: 11,292. Kettering, C. F. June 3, 1910, [Convention date]. Rotary distributors; interrupters, mechanical.-A distributor, interrupter, and timing - mechanism, for the ignition of an internal - combustion engine, are assembled in one piece of apparatus. The distributor consists of a spring blade 54, Fig. 1, attached to a conical part of a hard rubber disk 90 and constantly bearing on a pin 94 fixed in the insulating cap 100. In its rotation it wipes over contacts projecting from the ring 105, these contacts being connected to the terminals 101. An earthing- arm is also carried by the disk 90, and a coil connected therewith for preventing oscillatory discharges may be wound round the stem of this disk. In a modification, the distributing and earthing arms are in the form of spring-pressed plungers, and the position of the earthing-arm may be altered to suit running in either direction. The mechanical interrupter comprises a cam 24, which engages a resilient arm 30, Fig. 2, limited in its movement in one direction by a stop 80. The T-shaped end of the arm 30 embraces with some play the end of the resilient, contact-carrying member 33, both pieces being attached to a hub 31 moving on a pivot 32. A spring 83 breaks the contact after the projection on the cam passes the -arm 30. The cam and distributing-disk are mounted on an extension of a sleeve 61, Fig. 1, driven from a shaft 60 by a pin-and-slot connexion to-vary the time of ignition; the position of the pin 66 is altered by a yoke 65 engaging the grooved ring 63 which carries the pin.

Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 16,265. Lange, A. de. July 14. Burglar and like alarms.-An electric alarm device is arranged in a till in such a manner that, if the push-rod that opens the drawer is operated without being first rotated, a bell circuit is closed, and the bell rings continuously. The push-rod 13 opens the drawer 2 under ordinary conditions by swinging a lever 8, which acts through bars 9, 10, 11 to withdraw a bolt 4 from a recess in the back of the drawer. A compression spring 7 then forces the drawer open. On shutting the drawer, the rod 13 can be rotated to the right through a right-angle. A pin 28 on the rod passes under a projection 35 on a lever 36, and the rod cannot then be rotated backwards until the pin has been released by drawing back the lever 36 against a spring 39 by pulling on a screw head 38. This screw head is masked by making it appear like one of the screws holding on the plate 38<a>. If an attempt is made to operate the push-rod 13 in this locked position, the pin 28 closes a contact device 31 and so sets the bell 33 ringing. The bell cannot be stopped until the apparatus has been opened.

Abstract: 651. Morton, C. Jan. 9. Aspirating-apparatus, jet-pump and ejector; nozzles; regulating; cleansing.-In ejectors especially adapted for vacuum cleaning, the jet tube 3 is adjustable in a boss 2 and is fitted with a splayed discharge orifice 6. The combining chamber formed with a suction branch 8 contains a series of nozzles of increasing diameter 12, 13, 14, 15 secured to an annular wall 9 having openings 11 which forms the upper part of the cylinder 10. The nozzles may be of simple conoidal shape or they may be formed with cylindrical lower parts which may be splayed. The degree of vacuum is regulated by screwing the tube 3 down so as to pass one or more of the nozzles. Modifications are described in which the jet tube may have a solid or hollow regulating-spindle, or in which the jet tube is fixed, and is regulated by an adjustable cone; in this last case, an annular air inlet is not provided. The movable jet-tube may be caused to act upon cam projections on hinged portions of the first nozzle, which are thus caused to diverge, or, alternatively, the hinged portions may be actuated by the degree of vacuum. The discharge tube may consist of a series of converging-diverging portions or may be in sections, each section having a separate air inlet. Cleaning-out plugs are provided and may be combined with a vacuum-breaking valve, as shown in Fig. 7. The plug 25 is fitted with a valve 30 kept closed by the action of the vacuum against the weight 31 until excess vacuum causes water to rise to the level of the valve and break the vacuum. A shield 32 is provided to prevent clogging.

Tip-wagons; cars, continuous, forming trains.- In tipping-vehicles for conveying the cut coal in a mine to the hatch boxes, as described in Specifications 26,773/08 and 8/11, the body G is connected to the underframe S by arms A, pivoted to the underframe and connected to the body at preferably the pivots P on which are mounted the rollers R that run up the guides N on the track to lift the bodies into the discharging position shown in Fig. 5. In the arrangement shown in this Figure, the bodies are rigidly connected to the arms A, but the bodies may be hinged to the arms and fitted with wheels R<1>, Figs. 6 and 7, or pins, to run or slide respectively in angle or channel-bars S<2> on the frame S during tipping, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 6. The frames S of adjacent vehicles are connected by plates Y, which form seats for a cross-bar Z on which the arms A are mounted, and, when the frames S are of flat iron, have claws at their ends to grasp these frames. The connexions between the frames and the plates Y are alternately rigid and loose on successive vehicles to give freedom to the train in taking curves. The arms A may be inside the body, or they may be underneath it and covered with a layer of wood to form a seat for the body. The body G is formed of a sheet of steel bent upwards at each side, Fig. 3, with or without a cross-bar L on which the rollers R may be mounted. The bodies have no ends, so that the train of vehicles forms a long trough, the ends of the sides being bent or arranged to allow each body to tip separately. The space between adjacent vehicles may be enclosed by a shield on each plate Y, or by projections E on the body sides; and the end of the last vehicle may be closed by a steel sheet fitting in slits in the shields, or the bottom may be slanted upwards towards the end. The vehicles shown in Fig. 5 slide on the floor of the pit ; but wheels or rollers, T', Fig. 6, may be fitted in the channel-iron frame S. The rollers R may be guided on the fixed guide N, for example, by forming the guide-rail of angle-iron. The vehicles may be operated in sections connected by wire ropes as described in Specification 8/11.
