Title: Improvements in or relating to Change Speed Gears.
Inventor: LANCIA VINCENZO
IPC: B60K17/08
Filed: 1912-05-25
Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 12,494. Lancia, V. May 25. Controlling-apparatus, arrangements of hand and foot gear in conjunction with; interlocking and guarding against wrong movements and the like.-In motor-vehicles in which the changespeed gear is carried on the rear axle, the controlling-means for the gear are so arranged that they are not affected by the movements of the gear relatively to the operating lever on the body of the vehicle. The change-speed gear 2 is driven bv a shaft 3 extending through the torque rod 1 which is pivoted at X. The gear is controlled by two rods 4, 5, sliding concentrically within the driving shaft 3 and operated by forks 14 through collars 8 and pins 6 which slide in slots in the shaft. The forks are carried by sliding rods 16 connected at 17<11> by links 17 to arms 18, 18<1>, loose on a transverse shaft 19. These arms are connected to or formed with toothed bosses 28, 31, either of which can be engaged to operate the corresponding rods 4, 5, by a sleeve 26 which carries a hand lever 24 working in the usual gate 25. A brake lever 22 is keyed to the shaft 19. The rods 4, 5 may be arranged externally to the shaft 3.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Making Bags or Containers.
IPC: B31B3/28
Filed: 1912-06-10
Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 13,605. Rose, W., and Rose Bros. June 10. Paper bags, making.-The mandrel or former described in Specification 3149/12 is constructed so that the pressure of the foot 62 is exerted against the fixed part 52 of the former, thereby enabling greater pressure to be used. The presser-foot 62 is hinged at 50 to an arm 81, which is pivoted on the arm 59 of the fixed part of the former. Toggle-levers 85 are pivoted at 90 to the arm 81 and at 84 to an extension 159 of the arm 59, so that, by operating the arm 83 of the shorter toggle-lever, the foot 62 is made to approach and press against the fixed part 52 of the former. The part 86 of the arm 81 lying between the pivot 90 and the hinge 50 is resilient so that it bends when the full pressure is applied to the former. The arm 55 of the movable part 53 of the former is pivoted at 54 to the fixed arm 59 and has an extension 155 which is actuated at the proper time to collapse the former. According to the Provisional Specification, the presser-foot may be provided with a transverse ridge which presses the paper into a corresponding groove in the former, thus forming a crease which assists in folding the bag to enclose the contents.

Abstract: 3236. Sheppee, E. W. Feb. 7. Atmospheric vapour burners; vaporizing- apparatus; burners, mounting.-A vapour burner such as is employed for generating steam on a motor lorry comprises an annular flameplate constructed in sections separated by spaces, a dome closing the burner end, a bell-mouth narrowing towards the dome, an induction tube contiguous thereto and widening towards the dome, and a vaporizing-tube with its longitudinal members located between the flameplate sections. In the construction shown, the bell-mouth 2 and a number of angle-irons 3 are welded into the plate 4, and the induction tube 1 is fixed by supports 7 to the angle-irons, to which is secured a series of hollow octagonal prisms, each composed of bars 8<a> and blocks 8<b>, forming the flame-plate. The annular space between the induction tube end nearer the domed cover 25 and the flame-plate is of greater effective area than that end of the tube. The main vaporizer tube 11 is arranged between the rows of bars 8<a>, a coiled portion 11<c> above the pilot-burner 15 being detachably coupled by unions 11<d> to the remainder so that it may be replaced. Unions 18, 19 couple the pilotburner vaporizer 17 to a flanged plate 15<c> which carries the pilot-burner head and is secured in a countersunk hole in the plate 4 by levercatches similar to the catches 20, mounted on pins 21, that hold the plate 4 against the boiler. Two handles with screwed shanks, adapted normally to be screwed into sockets on the boiler, may be screwed into sockets on the plate 4 when the burner is to be lifted. Longitudinal slots 15<a> and a deflector 15<b> are provided in the pilot-burner, and this is preferably furnished with an inspection-tube 22, the end of which is covered with mica 23, and a tube 24 or opening to admit a blow-lamp for starting-purposes. The nozzle 14 of the main burner nipple is detachable and preferably arranged as shown in Fig. 4. Some of the slots in the main burner plate may be omitted to prevent the flame from playing immediately on the main vaporizer coil. According to the Provisional Specification, the main burner flame-plate consists of eight pieces of channel iron provided with slits and welded together.
