IPC: F16F7/06
Filed: 1913-12-10
Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 28,517. Pelterie, R. Esnault-. March 15, [Convention date]. Vibration-dampers.- Relates to damping. devices for use with vehicle springs, and of the kind in which free movement in opposite directions from the normal loaded position is permitted, the return movement in each direction being braked. Ac. cording to the invention, a friction damper is employed in which semicircular braking- segments, hinged to a member extending from a spindle which rotates in a fixed casing, are pressed towards the casing by springs and kept away from the casing by a roller. The fixed casing a is provided with a recess b having inclined side walls and containing the semicircular segments c hinged to parts h of a forked member d keyed tu the spindle e of the operating-lever f. The segments are pressed towards the recess b by a spring j, but are prevented from engaging the recess in the normal position shown in Fig. 1, by a roller n. When the lever f is moved upwards from the normal position through the angle a, the left - hand segment c is kept from engaging the recess b by the roller n, and the right-hand segment passes off the roller into the recess in which it moves freely. The return movement of the lever f to the normal position is strongly resisted as the right-hand segment is pressed into the recess b, while the left-hand segment moves freely. When the lever f moves below and returns to its normal position, the operations are similar, but of opposite hand to those already described. Recesses m are provided in the segments so that braking occurs if the movement of the lever away from its normal position is greater than the angle a.

Abstract: 1271. Haddan, H., [Chicago Flexible Shaft Co.]. Jan. 16. Horse clippers.-Relates to clippers tensioned by a plate bearing against a groove in the reciprocating cutter, and consists (a) in the provision of apertures in the groove to allow the escape of grit abraded from the bearing-surfaces, and (b) in means for mounting the comb so that wear can be taken up. The comb 1, Fig. 1, is drawn upwards against the cutter 3 by a spring-pressed spindle 9, and the cutter is held down and guided by a fixed plate 2 having projections 2<a>, Figs. 1 and 3, engaging- a groove 3" in the cutter. The cutter is pierced with apertures 3<b>, Fig. 3, to carry away grit. The comb 1 has a spherical heel abutment 11, 12 at the rear and is held against reciprocation by two pins 13, Figs. 4 and 5, on the fixed body. These pins are formed eccentrically on screwed upper parts, so that the position of the pin can be altered slightly to compensate for an altered position of the comb due to wear. The cutter is reciprocated by depending pins 4<b>, Figs. 4 and 7, on a reciprocating cross-head 4 driven by a rotary shaft. To enable the comb and cutter to take up new positions due to wear without disturbing the accuracy of adjustment of the working parts, the points of contact of the driving-pins 4<b> with the cutter are arranged in the plane passing through the heel abutment and the ends of the cutting-teeth.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Block Signalling Apparatus.
Inventor: GUSTAVE YSEBOODT
IPC: B61L23/10
Filed: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 8983. Yseboodt, G., and Mautsch, R. H. April 9, 1913, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Drawings to Specification. Signalling-instruments.-Block systems and apparatus involving a transmitter, a receiver, and a magneto-generator at each station are modified in order to avoid defects in known arrangements of such devices due to irregular operation of the apparatus by the attendants, or to defective circuits or stray currents, or to lack of synchronism between transmitting and receiving apparatus. The apparatus includes additional switches at the receiving and transmitting ends of the section, which are suitably interconnected. Several arrangements of apparatus are described. In one of these, the line-wire is earthed at both stations until switches are operated in one cabin and the transmitter at the other cabin, and the operator must replace his transmitter between two successive unblocking operations. In another arrangement, the operation of a transmitter short-circuits the receiver at that cabin, thus preventing operation of that receiver due to contact of the line-wires. In a further arrangement, two currents of differing nature must be transmitted between the cabins, one of these being an alternating current supplied by a magneto-generator, and the other being either a direct current from a battery or an alternating current obtained by means of a rotary commutator. In the former case, a polarized relay controls the circuit from the line-wire to the receiver. The operation of the apparatus controlled reverses the connexion of the polarized relay and thus necessitates replacement of the transmitter before another releasing operation can be performed. Another arrangement of apparatus is such that synchronism between receiver and transmitter is dispensed with, and in this case, the apparatus at each station is restored to normal bv the operator there. In another arrangement, the completion of the releasing operation is indicated at the receiving-station by the sounding and cessation of a bell. Arrangements are also described by which the completion of the operation is indicated in the transmitting-cabin by a bell, either by action of the operator at the receiving-cabin or automatically. In a further arrangement, an electric valve is employed for breaking up the unblocking-currents in order to utilize them as warning-currents for indicating the completion of the receiving operation. If this valve has only slight leakage, the toothed segment of each receiver will be provided with a larger number of teeth than that of the transmitter, but.less than double the number, so as to remedy the disadvantages of synchronism. In a further form of apparatus described, the transmitter has a larger number of teeth than the corresponding receiver, but smaller than the number of teeth of this receiver. A device may be provided which allows the escapement to release a number of teeth of the toothed segment of the transmitter during its raising period.
