Abstract: 8445. Day, G. St. J. April 10. Holders. - A bayonet-holder adapted for attachment to a tube passing into it is movable along the tube, and the parts are secured by a bayonet-joint, or a screw or a clamp so that the conduit imparts pressure to the insulating- block to lock the lamp. As shown in Fig. 2, a sleeve b screwed into the back of the holder c is formed with a long slot b<1>, sliding about a pin a<1> on the tube a. The bayonet-joint is so arranged that when the holder is moved along the tube after attachment of the leads to an insulating-block d with spring plungers, the tube bears against the block. The slot may be formed with several steps to adjust the pressure. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the back of the holder g and the sleeve are formed in one piece, and the spring plungers hare removable from the block f. In another modification, the holder is formed in one piece provided with bayonet-slots for attachment of the lamp. The holder may be secured to the tube by a split tapered screw. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, the holder m is shaped to enter the tube a, which is slotted to form tongues a<2> passing through holes in the holder and bearing against the block. In this case, the holder is clamped by nuts o screwing on pins n on the holder.

Abstract: 15,352. York, R. S. July 12, 1912, [Convention date]. Force-feed lubricators. -In a sight-feed lubricator for the cylinders and valves of engines operated by superheated steam or compressed air &c., of the kind in which oil is forced from a chamber by the action of steam upon a differential piston, the oil cylinder b, Fig. 1, and the steam cylinder a, are separated by an intervening space so that leakage past the oil piston c can be detected visually. Steam enters the cylinder a by a pipe m controlled by a valve. When the oil in the cylinder b is exhausted the steam is shut off, and the pistons are depressed by means of handles f, f<1>, the water of condensation escaping through a passage h in the handle f<1>, normally closed by a plug k. A spring o holds the pistons slightly above their lowest position, so that when the cylinder b is full of oil, the oil may expand if its temperature rises. The oil is forced from the cylinder b to a channel 4, Fig. 4, communicating with a number of sight-feeds, each consisting of a water chamber 8 and two sight glasses 9. To clean out any sight-feed, the oil is shut off by a valve 7, a drainage passage 12 is opened, and steam from a pipe 22 is admitted by means of a plug valve 18, the handle 19 of which works between stops 20. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also means for removing the cylinder b, Fig. 1, from its supports v, consisting of slots in the edges of a flange r and a ring s which retains packing t, and also a valve in the channel 4, Fig. 4, for shutting-off all the sight-feeds except one.

Granted: 1915-05-20
Abstract: 20,368. Wheeler, J. L. Sept. 30. Motor-road-vehicle signals; indicator or visible signals.-Relates to signals in connexion with controlling apparatus of the kind comprising a governor and a number of valves controlling the fuel and air passages respectively of the engine for the purpose of cutting out the carburettor from the intake and opening an air valve when the vehicle attains a pre-determined speed, and wherein the apparatus may be adjusted to operate at various speeds, the adjusting means being arranged to indicate conspicuously on the front of the vehicle the speed for which the controller is set. The object is to provide improved means for regulating the speed at which the apparatus comes into action. Tl.e governor 2 is driven by a flexible shaft 3 from one of the vehicle wheels and, at excessive speed, raises a non-rotary sleeve 14 through the medium of a lever 9, and thus, through the rod 23, simultaneously closes more or less the gas valve 34, and opens the air valve 29. Before operating the valves, the lever 9 closes an electric circuit for sounding a buzzer and thus giving warning. The sleeve can be initially set at a higher or lower position so that the lever contacts with it when the vehicle speed is lower or higher by the rotation within it of a tubular extension 20 of the rod 23, the tubular part 20 being furnished with a pin engaging with a helical slot 18 in the sleeve. The angular adjustment is effected through shafts 22, 38 and bevel-gears 36, 37, the tubular extension 20 being feathered to the shaft 22. The shaft 38 actuates a device at the front of the vehicle showing conspicuously the speed for which the apparatus is adjusted, and is set by means of a pointer on the dash-board.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Hot Wire Alternating Current Limiters.
Inventor: WESSEL PEDER
IPC: H01H81/00
Filed: 1915-03-31
Granted: 1915-09-30
Abstract: 4987. Wessel, P. March 31. Cut-out arrangements; switches, quick-action.- In a hot-wire alternating-current limiter, the hot wire 25 is supplied with current from the secondary 24 of a transformer the primary 22 of which is brought into circuit when the current through the winding 8 of a relay in the main circuit exceeds the predetermined limit, the heating of the wire causing the interruption of both the main circuit and the transformer circuit. The hot wire actuates a lever 5 which is provided with a main contact 27 and an auxiliary contact 29, the circuit through the main contact being broken before, and reestablished after, the circuit through the auxiliary contact. During the interval between the operation of the two contacts, a circuit is closed through an arm 30 and a resistance 33 in shunt with the relay, in order to compensate for the lessened resistance of the lamps due to their filaments being cold when the main circuit is re-establisbed. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the auxiliary contact 29 is carried by an arm 36 connected to the lever 5 by a spring 37, which is adapted to give a snap-action movement to the arm 36. In a modification, the auxiliary contact and resistance circuit are omitted. The hot wire is placed near the core of the transformer, which becomes heated on continuous overload, thereby lengthening the periods of interruption by transmitting heat to the wire.

Abstract: 14,800. White, W. W. Oct. 19. Retorts and methods of working.-Coal or other solid carbonaceous material is fed slowly through a retort from its cooler to its hotter end, and the vapours evolved from the material at a higher temperature are led through the vapours evolved at lower temperatures so that their condensable constituents are deposited. Fig. 1 is a longitudinal view partly in section, of apparatus for carrying out this process, and Fig. 2 is an end view half in section of the same apparatus. The retorts A are set in a furnace C with heating burner D and perforated floor c<1>, through which the hot gases pass into the spaces c<2> surrounding the retorts, such hot gases finally passing away through flues c<3>, c<4>. The coal or other material is fed into the retorts from hoppers F, and a screw conveyer B, rotated intermittently by ratchet mechanism b<1>, g, feeds the charge from the cooler to the hotter end of the retort.
