Title: Improvements in Automatic Railway Signalling Apparatus.
Inventor: BARRE JOHN LA
IPC: B61L3/04
Filed: 1909-09-22
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 21,665. La Barre, J. Sept. 22. Audible signals; track apparatus actuating signals other than on trains.-A whistle signal on the track side is set into operation by a passing train or by a defect in the electric control, the whistle being sounded when the circuit of its controlling-magnet is broken by a train-actuated ramp or other means. The pipe 1, which serves as a conduit for air or other fluid pressure, leads through an apertured disk 32<1> into a chamber 4, from one side of which a pipe 5 leads to a storage tank 6, while an oppositely projecting pipe 7 connects with the top of the chamber by a passage 20 and leads to the whistle 8. On a screwed annular flange 10 of the pipe 7 is mounted a cup-shaped member 11, the cover 14 of which holds down a diaphragm 13. A shaft 15 is connected to the diaphragm and passes down through a collar 22 screwed into the flange 10 into the chamber 4, in which an elongated bearing 18 is provided. The pipe carries two valves 17, 21 between the supply and the storage tank, and between the storage tank and the whistle respectively, the valves being provided with seats 16, 19. Mounted on a central flange of the cover 14 is a casing for the electroÀmagnet 26 the disk-shaped armature of which is normally held down against the action of the spring 28, to close, by a needle valve 25, an opening 24, in the cover 14 which connects the chamber above the diaphragm with an extension provided with an opening 24<a>. The member 11 also has an opening 23 to atmosphere. A pipe (not shown) connects with the chamber 4 below the valve 17 and at the other end with the cover 14, thus connecting the normally - closed chamber above the diaphragm 13 with the supply. The diaphragm is thus depressed and forces down the valve 21 on to its seat, opens the valve 17 against the action of the spring 32, and places the storage tank 6 in connexion with the supply. When the magnet is de-energized, either by a passing train or by a breakage in the control circuit, the armature 27 rises and the upper side of the diaphragm is connected to atmosphere. The supply is also cut off by the closing of the valve 17 by the spring 32, and the storage tank is connected to the whistle pipe through the valve 21. The whistle is thus blown until either the circuit is re-made or the storage tank emptied, and by the constant leakage of the fluid from the port 24<a> a defect in the circuit would be notified to the station.

Abstract: 30,547. Penrose & Co., A. W., and Block, G. H. Dec. 31. Platen offset machines.-An offset printing-device for obtaining reverse transfers for use in offset printing and other purposes comprises a base A to which are hinged at opposite sides two frames B, C. The hinges D, E are formed with conical pins, which may be driven in to take up wear. Carried by the frames B, C are sheets of india-rubber, secured by strips I, J, to accommodate which the base A is recessed. To permit the frames B, C to be folded down one on top of the other, either being on top, the frames may be pivoted to vertically sliding blocks K, L, retained at'each end by angle-irons. In operation, an impression is taken on a sheet of paper from a usual reversed printing-block, and is transferred to a zinc plate on the base A. This impression is inked, the frame B turned down and pressure applied, a positive design being thus obtained on the underside of the rubber sheet in the frame B. The frame B is raised, the design on the base A re-inked, the frames C, B folded down with a sheet of transfer paper between, and pressure again applied. A negative transfer is thus obtained on the transfer paper from the underside of the frame B, and a fresh positive design is produced on the frame C. The transfers thus obtained may be applied to a plate for offset printiog. In order to give a firmer impression, a packing-sheet may be inserted between the two india-rubber sheets within the frames B, C when the device is subjected to pressure.

Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 4467. Eldred, B. E. Feb. 23. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Platinizing nickel-steel wire for sealing into glass. A nickel - steel core and a platinum sheath are united directly, or with the interposition of a more fusible ductile metal such as copper, silver, or gold, the proportions being such that the compound wire has the desired expansion, and the parts have a wetting union. A large mass of the compound metal is worked into fine wire, the platinum becoming hard and dense. A core rod may be heated in a tight platinum sheath until incipient fusion is indicated by the appearance of a projecting portion, the rod being supported so that the molten surface will fill the interspace by capillary action and become united to the platinum; the heating should then be stopped. Preferably the core is first coated with copper, silver, or gold, a wetting union being obtained by heating the copper considerably above its melting-point, as described in Specifications 8913/06 and 8913<A>/06, [both in Class 83, Metals, Cutting &c.]. After the copper coating has been turned down to a thin film, the rod is enclosed in a platinum sheath and heated until the copper melts and unites with the platinum.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Devices for Relieving Axial Thrusts in Steam Turbines, Pumps and like Machines.
Inventor: HUGUENIN ALBERT
IPC: F01D3/00
Filed: 1910-03-04
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 5487. Huguenin, A. March 4. Fluid bearings.-End-thrust in both directions on shafts of turbines, centrifugal pumps, dynamos, ships' propellers and other machines is relieved by disks for each direction of thrust, acted upon by fluid under pressure, arranged on the shaft so as to increase or decrease the thrust of the disks automatically by the axial movements of the shaft. Disks D, E on the spindle Ware acted on by fluid supplied to the pipe F, which passes through passages between the fixed partition H and the cylinder C fixed on the shaft. As the shaft moves axially by unbalanced end thrust, the passages i, l are opened and closed, and fluid enters the chambers bounded by the disk D, E more or less freely. At the same time, the passages k, m are closed or opened and allow the fluid to escape to the pipes G, and thus the axial pressure on the disks D is increased and that in disk E is decreased if the shaft moves to the left and a thrust in the reverse direction is balanced by increased pressure on the disk E.
