Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 12,913. Charley, J. J. May 29. Equalizing load on springs; springs, arrangement of and mounting undercarriages on.-Relates to device for transmitting shock between a front wheel of a motor or other vehicle and the rear wheel on the same side, of the kind in which front and rear rocker members pivoted to the chassis are connected by a system of extensible and contractible springs coacting with a member fixed to the chassis to restore the parts to normal position. The device is applicable also to roller skates. The arrangement is such that, while certain springs absorb and transmit shocks, others serve as the restoring- springs. Each wheel is mounted on an independent axle carried at the end of a radius-arm g as in the arrangement described in Specification 8196/09. Rockers c pivoted on the chassis a have each the upper end bearing through a spring d on the arm g, the lower end being bent around and connected to the front rod e or to the rear rod e<1> of the shock-transmitting device on that side of the vehicle. The other ends of the rods e, e<1> carry nuts e<2>, e<3>, Fig. 3, bearing respectively against plates m<1>, m<2>, which are separated from end plates m, m<3> by springs k, k'. The plates m, m<3> are connected by bolts p, p<1> respectively to a diaphragm n disposed between springs l, l<1>, of which the other ends bear against plates q, q<1> fixed to the chassis. Additional springs s, s<1> disposed between the nuts e<2>, e<3> and the diaphragm n serve to cushion the return of the rods e, e<1>. When the front wheel passes over a small obstruction, the front rocker c is moved to pull on the rod e, and the pull is transmitted through the various springs to the rod e<1>, so that the rear rocker c is moved to compress the rear spring d, the springs d, l<1> acting to restore the system to normal position. When the front wheel passes over a large obstruction, the spring l becomes fully compressed, and subsequent movement of the rod c affects only the spring k. A tension spring d<1>, Fig. 4, may be arranged within each spring d to limit its range.

Title: A Process of Producing Oxygen.
Inventor: HELBIG DEMETRIO
IPC: C01B13/02
Filed: 1911-12-16
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 28,404. Helbig, D. Dec. 17, 1910, [Convention date]. Oxygen is produced by the interaction of persulphates, particularly of potassium and sodium, and oxides or peroxides, particularly of the alkali and alkaline-earth metals, or hydrates thereof, and oxides and peroxides of many metals, such as lead, manganese, silver, &c. To the reaction mass may be added inert admixtures, for instance kieselguhr or an excess of one of the reacting substances, such as caustic lime, or active admixtures which give off oxygen under the high temperature generated by the primary reaction, for example alkali chlorates, perchlorates, permanganates, and bichromates. The dry mixtures may be kept unchanged indefinitely, packed, for instance in suitable cartridges &c. The reaction is started by contact with a suitable liquid, such as water, or by heating the mixture or a portion thereof, as by a burning match. In some cases, dropping on a little water is sufficient to start the reaction, which is then propagated through the mass. Examples of mixtures are: potassium persulphate and calcium oxide or sodium peroxide, or, for a quiet reaction, potassium persulphate, kieselguhr, sodium peroxide, and calcium oxide, or potassium persulphate, burnt lime, potassium chlorate, and pyrolusite.
