Title: Improvements relating to Brake-mechanism for the Control of Rotary and Oscillating Gear.
Inventor: VENNER ROBERT FRANCIS
Filed: 1908-10-28
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 22,932. Venner, R. F., and Griesbach, R. C. Oct. 28. Brakes.-Relates to a brake, operated electrically, by clock-work, or by hand, for limiting to one revolution or beat without jerk the action of intermittently-working rotary or oscillating gear, such as electric time switches, clock-work, and starting-mechanism. Fig. 1 shows an electric time switch, described in Specification No. 25,716, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Electricity, Regulating &c.], operated by clock-work 1 the dial 20 of which has a pin 19 adapted to contact with two pivoted levers 12, 13 normally held against a stop 16 by springs 17, 18. The levers 12, 13 have springs 10, 11 adapted to bear against a drum 21 on the flyspindle of the clock-work 1. These springs rest on pins 8, 9 on a pivoted lever 3 which in its normal position against a stop 4 maintains the spring 10 out of contact with the drum 21. The pin 19 acting on the lever 13 presses the spring 11 into contact with the drum 21 until an adjustable arm 23 on an auxiliary clock 5 moves the lever 3 thus raising the spring 11 and allowing the pin 19 to pass the short lever 13. The spring 10, which has simultaneously been lowered by the lever 3, is then pressed against the drum 21 by the pin 19 acting on the lever 12, the mechanism remaining in that position until the arm 23 has passed the lever 3 which then returns to its normal position and raises the spring 10. The dial 20 then rotates until the pin 19 re-engages the lever 13. A bellpush and solenoid or other means may be used for operating the lever 3 instead of the auxiliary clock 5. Fig. 7 shows a modification having a single brake spring 10* which is normally kept in contact with the drum 21 by the pin 19* acting upon a lever 12*. A spring-controlled arm 24 on the clock 5 presses against a fixed pin 25 until it slips past the pin and strikes the lever 3*, which raises the spring 10* sufficiently to enable a notched lever 26 to engage a projection 29 on the spring. The dial 20 then rotates until the pin 19* first moves the lever 26 out of engagement with the projection 29 and then applies the spring 10* to the drum by re-engaging the )ever 12*.
Patent GB-190825199-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Grabs or Grab Buckets.
Inventor: HISPA AUGUSTIN
Filed: 1908-11-23
Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 25,199. Hispa, A. Nov. 23. Grabs.-Relates to grab buckets operated by block and pulley gear and consists in means for automatically closing, opening, and holding open such grab buckets. Figs. 1 and 3 are respectively front and side views of grab buckets embodying the invention. A shaft C carries the sheave D of the block and pulley arrangement, the operating- wheel E, and the extremities of the rods F. Slots H are provided in the rods F, which thereby have a certain amount of play when the bucket rests upon the material to be raised: In the position for lowering, the chain I is idle, and the chain K is firmly held between the pulleys J and the wheel E, the latter being prevented from turning by having a toothed wheel P, which is firmly connected with it, engaged by a pawl O. When the material to be raised bears the weight of the bucket, the rods F operate a catch N carried by a spindle M, which also carries the pawl O. The play of the frame A in the rods F thus releases the pawl 0, allowing the chain K to run freely over the pulley E. By pulling on the chain K, the buckets are closed and raised, being emptied at any desired height by taking the weight on the chain I and slacking the chain K, which allows the buckets to open as far as necessary and disengages the catch gear N.' On again hauling on the chain K the pawl engages with the pulley P, and the bucket is held open for lowering.

Title: Improvements in Gyroscopes.
Inventor: SCHILOWSKY PETER
IPC: G01C19/44
Filed: 1909-05-21
Granted: 1910-06-21
Abstract: 12,021. Schilowsky, P. May 21. Gyroscopic apparatus. - Mono-track vehicles are rendered stable by mounting a gyroscope c directly upon the vehicle frame a at d<1> with its axis of suspension transverse thereto and below the centre of inertia of the gyroscope, and by annulling the precessional oscillations of the gyroscope by impulses derived from an external source of power. A continuously-rotating pinion e<1> intermittently co-operates with a rack f<1> on the quadrant f fulcrumed at f<2> and so transmits an impulse through the rod h and buffer springs i to the gyroscope mounting. The cooperation of the pinion e<1> and the rack f<1> is controlled by a pendulum k, which is suspended from a fixed point on the frame, and which, when the frame inclines in one direction, bears against the cord l and through the bell-crank lever m, the link n, and the lever g raises the quadrant into engagement with the pinion e<1>. An impulse is thus given to the gyroscope mounting in the direction in which it is swing- ing, and consequently the swinging of the vehicle is annulled.

Abstract: 17,951. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Aug 3. Ammonia; catalytic materials, processes and apparatus. - Ammonia is produced from nitrogen and hydrogen by treatment with a catalytic material under pressure at a raised temperature ; the ammonia is removed at a lower temperature, for instance by cooling, or by an absorbent, or both, and the remaining gas with the addition of more nitrogen and hydrogen is treated to produce ammonia as before. The catalytic substance is contained in a tube A, from which the treated gas passes through a heat - interchanger, which may consist of a double coil c, c<2>, or which may be of other form, to a condenser d<2>, the liquid ammonia being collected in a vessel E, from which it is withdrawn by a tap e<3>. The uncondensed gas passes by a pipe e to a pump F, and thence by the path f, c<2>, B to the tube A, nitrogen and hydrogen being added by a tap -g<2> on a pipe g. The tubes A, B, and the heat-interchanger c, c<2> are enclosed in insulating packing in an outer tube H. The tube B has a small opening a<3> to equalize the pressures within and without, and is surrounded by an electric heating-coil J. When a catalytic material such as osmium is employed, adapted to produce a relatively high concentration of ammonia, the heat-interchanger may be omitted. If the ammonia is not required in the liquid form, it may be allowed to vaporize and to cool the gas leaving the catalytic material. The pressure used may be 150 atmosphares, and the temperature of the tube A 500-1000‹ C.

Inventor: GIROD PAUL
IPC: C21D6/00
Filed: 1909-12-17
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 29,597. Girod, P. Jan. 23, [Convention date]. Hardening.-Relates to a process of hardening by heat-treating projectiles, armour-plates, and other steel articles. The article, having been cast or worked to the rough size required, is heated to about 450-500‹ C. and cooled, after which it may be machined. It is then heated to above 600-650‹ C., approaching 825-875‹ C. as maximum hardness is desired. Parts requiring to be harder than others may be heated to a higher temperature than the remainder; or the whole article may be heated to the high temperature, and the parts required to be softer may be re-heated to a lower temperature. For example, projectiles may be heated in a furnace, one or more of the walls, bottom, top, or arch of which have holes through which the parts to be most hard are exposed to the heat of the furnace. In the case of a plate, one of the surfaces may be raised to a higher temperature than the other; or both surfaces may be heated, and the heating stopped before the centre is reached. The heatings and coolings may be repeated several times. The cooling may be effected in the furnace or in the air, or by other means other than quenching in a liquid, and some portions of the article may be cooled more rapidly than others.
