IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 1912-06-04
Granted: 1913-05-08
Abstract: 19,220. Auld, J. June 4. Pressure - regulating valves valves controlled from a distance.-Pressure - controlling and other like valves which are operated by diaphragms in conjunction with relay valves have their diaphragms a arranged to assume a stepped formation when the valve is closed, as shown, under the action of initial fluid pressure above admitted, in the example shown, from the inlet w past the loosely - fitting spindle guide u. When the valve is to be opened, this initial pressure is either (a) relieved by opening the chamber m above the diaphragm a to the outlet side s of the main valve through the auxiliary or relay valve x, Fig. 2, or (b) balanced by admitting initial pressure to the under side of the diaphragm in a closed chamber through the relay valve. The relay valve, Fig. 2, is operated by an adjustable spring y in conjunction with fluid pressure from the outlet side s of the main valve acting through the passage r<1>, r on the diaphragm t. The branches p, q, Fig. 2, are connected at p<1>, q<1>, Fig. 1, to the diaphragm chamber m and the outlet s, respectively. The diaphragm a may have a duplex stepped form by means of a ring d, Fig. 1<a>, resting on a ledge d<1> and arranged to be raised by a flange e<1> of the part e.

Title: An Instrument for Indicating the Righting Arms and other particulars relating to the Stability of Ships.
Inventor: RALSTON SHIRLEY BROOKS
IPC: B63B9/00

Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 11,283. Ralston, S. B. May 14. Metacentric calculators. - Comprises an apparatus by means of which the righting-arms for a number of conditions of loading may be readily determined. Adopting the usual notation, a plan of B.R. curves for several displacements is attached to a board a pivoted on a pin b. On one side of the board is fitted a pin d which can be adjusted in accordance with the condition of loading. The pin b corresponds to the centre of gravity of the ship, and a scale p shows for various displacements the B.M., while the scale o represents the G.M. The position of the pin d, to which the scale o is attached, is adjusted by a screw f and is shown at a point corresponding to G.M.=4 ft. and a displacement of 5000 tons. A bar i moving parallel to itself along racks m engages the upper end of the pin d and carries a scale q. To determine the B.R. for any angle of heel, the bar i is moved along the racks until the desired angle is moved through by the board a, and the distance is read off the curve corresponding to the displacement of the ship.

Title: Improvements relating to Governors for Variable-speed or Reversible Engines.
Inventor: CREPLET LEON
IPC: H02P7/34
Filed: 1913-07-21
Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 16,673. CrÚplet, L. July 23, 1912, [Convention date]. Driving-mechanism.-Variablespeed or reversible engines, s u c h as those used for driving throstle frames, papermaking machines, rolling - mills, a n d hoisting or winding- machines are governed by means of an ordinary governor driven by an electric motor m, the current of which is supplied or controlled by a dynamo d driven from the engine, the excitation of the dynamo being varied for different working speeds of the engine, so as to keep the speed of the governor motor constant. For machines, the speed of which may fall to zero, an additional dynamo, driven at a constant speed, is included in the circuit of the motor, the excitation of the two dynamos being regulated as required. For reversible engines, a commutator is employed to keep the direction of the current constant. In the case of hoisting-machines, the excitation may be varied according to the required working speed by means of a rheostat controlled by the usual depth-indicator; and in the case of reversible rolling-mills, the control lever worked by the operator is used for this purpose.

Title: Improvements relating to Paper Pulping and like Machines.
Inventor: THIRY LEON
IPC: D21D1/02
Filed: 1913-09-09
Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 20,375. Thiry, L. Oct. 24, 1912, [Convention date]. Pulping - engines. -Hydraulic means are provided for lifting the heavy covers of pulping or breaking machines employed for pulping old paper waste or shavings, and mechanical or chemical pastes. The cover 3 is pivoted on knife-edges 4, located at a suitable distance from the body of the apparatus to make the interior of the apparatus accessible from all sides, and is lifted by a jack 6 pivoted at 9. The jack may be operated by water pressure supplied through the orifice 11 or by a pump 12. To limit the action of the jack, a longitudinal groove is formed in the lower portion of its piston, so that when the said groove protrudes from the cylinder, the lifting is stopped independently of the cutting-off of the water supply.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Actuating and Locking Points or Switches on Railways.
Inventor: O'DONNELL JOHN PATRICK
IPC: B61L5/06
Filed: 1913-09-24
Granted: 1914-09-24
Abstract: 21,543. O'Donnell, J. P. Sept. 24. Electric operation and control; locking-bars, arrangements and connexions of; locking-bolts, cam plates, and like devices.-An electric motor drives, through a clutch 28, Fig. 2, a worm shaft 29 engaging an horizontal wheel 32 which has two pins 41, 42, or pins and rollers engaging recesses 55, 56 in the rod 16 connected to the safety bar and plunger, and has also a pin or pin and roller, preferably integral with the pin 41, engaging a recess 57 in the point-operating bar 19; the wheel 32 has bosses 46, 47 engaging surfaces 52, 53, 54 on the rod 16 to lock it initially and finally and also during movement of the bar 19, which is locked during movement of the rod 16 by a bolt 40 engaging shoulders 59, 60 on the bar 19, the bolt having a pin 61 and roller engaging a cam-slot in the wheel 32 and serving to transfer shocks from the bar 19 to the casing. The completion of the movement of the points is indicated by current set up by the overrun of the motor after the operating-current has been cut off. The polechanger, of the type described in Specification 25,344/11, is connected to an arm 78 on a boss 77, Fig. 7, having additional arms 79, 80 and 81, 82. An arm 87 is mounted on a boss 86 having lugs 90 spring-pressed into notches 89 in the boss 77. Initial movement of the wheel 32 frees the arm 87 from the raised rim 96, Fig. 2, and actuates the arm 81 by the shoulder 97 so that the arm 79 leaves the recess 67 in the indicator slide 37. This slide is then moved by the plunger bar so that the arms 81, 82 are opposite non-recessed parts of the slide. The rim 96 engages the arm 87, which moves the arm 78 and the pole-changer; if however the points are not home and the recess 67 in the slide is not opposite the arm 80, the arm 87 rises against the spring 91, but as the pole-changer has not moved to complete the indication contacts, the overrun current does not give indication in the cabin. In a modification, the slide 37 and arms 79, 80 are omitted, and a pair of detector blades are attached one to each switch tongue, the blades having notches engaging lugs on the rod 16, the notches and lug for one position being different in shape from those for the other position. If the points are not home, the rod 16 and the pole-changer cannot complete their movements. Specification 25,343/11 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Mounting of Pictures.
Inventor: BONING AUGUSTUS
IPC: B44C5/02
Filed: 1913-11-12
Granted: 1915-07-08
Abstract: 25,920. Boning, A. Nov. 12. Pictures; pictures, mounting.-Pictures executed on paper, cardboard, &c. are mounted by embedding them in a suitable backing-mass, and the picture material and backing are rendered uniform by applying over a desired area an opaque coating whereby the picture finally presents the appearance of having been produced directly on the surface of the backing- mass. According to one method, the picture, for example a pictorial post card, is laid face downwards in a mould, and a setting-mass, such as plaster of paris, is poured upon it and allowed to dry. The mass with the embedded picture is then removed, and a coating of paint or like opaque substance is applied over a desired area of the backing-mass and picture, after which varnish may be applied to the whole. The extent of surface over which the opaque coating is applied depends upon the character of the picture; in some cases, the coating may be applied so as to form the background of the picture, and in other cases, the coating may cover only sufficient of the edge of the picture as to conceal the junction between the backing- mass and picture material. The backing-mass may be reinforced by incorporated wirework and may be cast in any desired shape. Instead of employing a setting-mass for the backing, papier mÔchÚ or like material may be used, in which case the picture is embedded by being pressed into the mass, the subsequent operations being the same as previously described.
