Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Drivers or Gearing.
Inventor: MUNDY CORNELIUS
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1910-05-26
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 12,816. Mundy, C. May 26. Variable - speed gearing.-A driving-shaft 4, Fig. 10, carries at its end a double crank C<4>, the two crank-pins P<4> of which are adapted to lie in cross grooves 12,13 in a disk A', Fig. 4. When the shaft 4 is in line with a shaft 5 carrying the disk A<4>, the shaft 5 is driven at the same speed as the shaft 4. When the shaft 4 is moved into an eccentric position with respect to the shaft 5, the pins P<4> shoot along the grooves 12, 13, and the disk A<4> is driven at half speed. The pins P<4> are surrounded by flat-block runners B<4> for engaging the slots, but ball, egg, and other shaped runners may also be used. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 10, a second reduction of speed may be obtained, the shaft 5 having crank-pins P<3> engaging slots in a disk A<3> and being movable into an eccentric position with respect to a third shaft 6. The shaft 6 is connected through reversing-gearing 8 to an ultimatelydriven shaft 9. In a modified arrangement, an intermediate shaft carries a pair of crank-pins at each end, and the speed of a driven shaft is doubled or halved according as one or the other end of this shaft is tilted into an eccentric position. When that shaft remains in line with the driving and driven shafts, a one-to-one drive is effected. The grooves 12, 13 are shaped so that the runners B<4> do not jam therein. Wider ranges in speed may be produced by increasing the number of grooves 12, 13, &c.

Title: Improvements in the Arrangement and Regulation of Rotary Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BECKER MAXIM BERNARD
IPC: F02B73/00
Filed: 1910-08-03
Granted: 1911-09-29
Abstract: 18,396. Boyd, M. B. B. Aug. 3. Drawings to Specification. Plant; working-fluid supply; movable-abutment type.-Several internal-combustion rotary engines which may be of different powers, are mounted on one shaft and the supply of working fluid to each is independently controlled. The output of the plant is regulated by varying the number of units in action. When rotaryengines of the geared-vane type are used, the intermittently-moving vanes may be released to rotate with the constantly-moving vanes when the working-fluid is cut off. In an engine in which the intermittently - moving vanes are carried by a shaft oscillated by a cam, one of the gear-wheels in the train that drives the camshaft is mounted on an eccentric stud, and the vanes are released by turning the stud to throw the toothed-wheels out of gear. Specification 16,468/10, which describes a rotary engine of the geared-vane type, is referred to.

The pulley 22 carries a pinion which gears with a spur-wheel on the shaft 25, and this shaft is geared to the conveyer shaft 28 by chain and sprocket gearing. Pulleys 32, 34 are provided to keep the cable 21 in alinement with the pulleys 22, 20 when the conveyers are out of alinement.
Patent GB-191030023-A (GB)
Title: Testing Transmitters for Sprinkler Supervisory Fire Protection Systems.
Inventor: BROUGHAM FREDERICK JOHN
IPC: G08B25/00
Filed: 1910-12-24
Granted: 1911-12-27
Abstract: 30,023. Brougham, F. J., [Dominion Guarantee Co.]. Dec. 24. Fire-alarm systems.-In a fire sprinkler and alarm system of the type in which certain parts of the sprinkler system are provided with supervisory transmitters for indicating their condition at a central station, a separate testing-transmitter is provided which gives a special signal at the central station if any part of the alarm or supervisory systems, such as the wiring, batteries, supervisory transmitters, &c., becomes inoperative from any cause. The trip magnet of the testing-transmitter is provided with high and low resistance windings, and is included in a normally-closed circuit with the trip magnet of a fire-alarm transmitter, being arranged to release its clock-work when this circuit is broken or when it is short-circuited by a relay in a second circuit containing the controlling- relays of the supervisory transmitters. Fig. 1 shows the construction of the testing-transmitter, the circuit connexions of which are fully described in Specification 30,024/10. The main spindle 23 of the clock-work movement is geared to a spindle 30, which rotates at a higher speed and carries two code disks 31, engaging two pairs of springs such as 55, 56, and also a disk 37 having a notch 38 co-operating with a projection 44 on the armature of the trip-magnet 39. The spindle 30 is geared to a high-speed spindle 50, carrying a fan 49 which is normally engaged by a projection on the armature 41. When the magnet 39 is de-energized, the clockwork is released and the shaft 23 makes a single revolution, the code disks 31 rotating six times to send in their signal to the central station. If the trouble is only momentary the magnet 39 may be again energized to stop the transmitter after one or two revolutions of the spindle 30, but preferably the armature spring 45 is so adjusted that the magnet cannot attract its armature after it has once been released. A cam 63 on the spindle 23 closes a local alarm circuit when the spindle has made a complete revolution. The magnet 39 has windings of high and low resistance, the magnet of the firealarm transmitter being energized by the increase in current when the high - resistance winding is short-circuited by a water-flow contact device.

Abstract: 30,136. Pintsch Akt.-Ges., J. Dec. 27, 1909, [Convention date]. Combinations of interdependent valves; valves closing after predetermined interval.-A device for the alternate closing and opening of the supply - pipes of main and pilot burners is arranged so that, when the gas-cock in one pipe is completely opened by hand, the gas-cock controlling the other supply - pipe is released, whereby it is closed automatically under the control of a check device common to both valves. Levers F, F<1>, Fig. 1, mounted loosely on the spindles of plug cocks B, C and coupled by a bar E, have projections which engage with levers G, G' of the valves B, C. Springs, tensioned through ratchet mechanism, tend to close the valves. A piston check D is arranged between the valves, and has a duct communicating with both ends of the cylinder. When the bar E is moved to open the valve B, as shown in Fig. 5, the valve C is free to be opened gradually under the influence of its spring and the check D.
