Title: An Apparatus for Separating and Delivering Single Flat Bodies such as Leaves of Paper and the like.
Inventor: RUPPEL FRIEDRICH
IPC: B65H3/06
Filed: 1910-08-30
Granted: 1911-08-30
Abstract: 20,234. Ruppel, F. Aug. 30. Feeding sheets &c.- Flat bodies, such as sheets of hotel writing- paper, &c., are delivered separately from a container by operating a handle which actuates a separator consisting of a rubber-covered roller rotatable in one direction only, the roller being mounted in a spring arm. As shown, the sheets are contained in a box b fitted with a slot e, in which the separator operates. The separator is carried by a bow-spring n mounted on the lid k of a container in which the box b is enclosed, and the separator consists of a roller a covered with rubber or the like and prevented from rotating by a ratchet-wheel and pawl as it is moved across the pile by a spring-controlled lever l connected to the spring n by means of a pivoted arm l<1>. The lever l is actuated by a handle t extending through the lid k, and the sheets are delivered through a slot i in the container. The side f of the box b is pivoted at g and acted on by a spring h so as to keep the sheets pressed towards the slot e.

Patent GB-191110027-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Crabs of Cranes with Elevated Crab Tracks.
Inventor: STEINBRECHER RICHARD
IPC: B66C11/20
Filed: 1911-04-25
Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 10,027. Steinbrecher, R. April 25. Overhead travellers and transporters. - In crabs of cranes with elevated tracks, particularly those operated by a single rope, passing from the operation of unlocking the crab from the track to the operation of locking the load to the crab automatically, and vice versa, is effected without shock. The speed of the load is reduced while lifting by previously unlocking and starting the crab and maintaining the load in its highest position relatively to the crab. Fig. 1 shows the position of the parts when the crab is locked and the load unlocked, and Fig. 2 the corresponding positions when the crab is unlocked and the load is locked. The rising load strikes the slide 8 so that the pawls 19, 20 on it operate the levers 23, 24 respectively, causing the rod 34 to be pushed up against the lever 35, and to be held by the shoulder 39 of the pivoted spring block 40; at the same time, the lever 26 is lifted off the stop 29, unlocking the crab, which moves to the left. The ascent of the load is gradually braked by the travelling load, which causes the plate 8 to push up a rod until the spring bolt 49 engages the orifice 47 in it and locks the load. The rope 5 is then operated, causing the crab to move to the left, and shortly before the unloading-station is reached the stop 67, Fig. 2, trips the levers 55, 66 withdrawing the bolt 49 and causing its shoulder 56 to be engaged by the arm 58 and held in its inoperative position. The motion of the lever 55 also causes the extension 53<1> to operate the levers 43, 42 so that the lever 40 releases the rod 34, which falls and permits the hook 36 to engage the track stop. The load is lowered, causing the stop 68 on the descending rod to press the lever 63 so that the bolt 49 is again released. The unlocking of the crab at the unloading-station is effected by the pawl 19. The crab is then caused to move to the right, and when it is near the loading- station the lever 52 is tripped by the stop 67, Fig. 1, and causes the bolt 49 of the unloaded slide to be unlocked. The lever 52 also operates the rod 53<1> to release the rod 34, the hook 27 engages the stop 29, and all parts resume the position shown in Fig. 1. In a modification, the stops for locking the crab to the track are dispensed with, the crab being capable of stoppage at any point by means of brakes.

Abstract: 10,462. Shouls, E., and Allcock, F. May 1. [Cognate Application, 15,395/11.] Working-fluid supply.-In an internal-combustion turbine, the charges of compressed mixture are ignited in the spaces between the blades, which are totally enclosed by the periphery and sides of the rotor except for the admission and exhaust ports. The rotor A is formed in one piece, and is carried on a hollow shaft C. Admission ports D and exhaust ports H in the rotor coincide during rotation with inlets F and exhaust ports I in the stator. The spaces T between the blades E are each provided with ignition plugs J, which make contact, in the example shown, with three plugs K in the stator during rotation to provide twenty-seven explosions per revolution, there being nine spaces T in the rotor. The blades E are set at an angle to the sides of the stator, and pockets R may be formed in the stator, against which the explosion mixture may react. In three spaces T, the charge is simultaneously ignited, in three others exhaust is taking place, and in the remaining three, admission is occurring, but the details may be modified to ensure an explosion simultaneously in every second chamber T instead of in every third chamber as in the example shown. The chambers T may be subdivided by auxiliary blades with connecting passages between them, and auxiliary blades may be provided in the pockets R. A water-cooling jacket L is provided in the stator.

Abstract: 18,524. Tooth, L. F. Aug. 12. Plug cocks.-A valve for supplying gas to a gas-fire having two sets of burners has a regulatable auxiliary duct so arranged that when only one set of burners is alight the gas is supplied through the auxiliary duct, thereby maintaining the gas pressure at the burners constant. Figs. 7, 8 represent in elevation and plan a valve in which gas enters at D and passes to the two sets of burners through ports F, G and passages A, B. When the valve is turned to close the port G, the port F diverts the gas through an auxiliary duct H leading into the passage A and having a regulating screw L. Fig. 28 shows a modification in which the auxiliary duct p having a regulating-screw L is in the plug instead of in the casing. In the position shown, gas enters at E and passes to both passages A, B. When the valve is turned so as to close the passage B, the auxiliary duct p moves into register with the passage A. In another modification, two auxiliary ducts are used, one leading into each of the outlet pipes so that either of the two sets of burners can be lit separately. The inlet pipe may be in a direct line with or at right angles to the outlet pipes, and the plug may be either of the hollow or the solid type.
