Title: Improvements in Vehicle Wheel Axles.
IPC: B60B35/06
Filed: 1910-05-23
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 12,503. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. Sept. 9, 1909, [Convention date]. Axles. - To prevent excessive strain in the dropped axles of gun carriages and other artillery or military vehicles, part of the strain on one end of the axle is transmitted through a movable intermediate strut to the other end of the axle. The Figure shows a dropped axle having a hollow part a, in which is mounted a rod b screwed into pistons c capable of sliding in the part a. The pistons c are connected by links d and bolts g to the ends of the axle, so that strains on one end are transmitted through the sliding rod b to the other end. The links d have a slight play on the bolts g to permit a certain amount of independent yielding, or the rods may be constructed to undergo a predetermined elastic change of form before any movement is transmitted from one end of the axle to the other.

Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 19,774. Woollatt, W., and Pollard, A. J. Sept. 5. Pantographic apparatus.- The members of a device for compounding rectilinear movements in two directions are driven by motors which are started automatically and stopped by engagement of the compounding member with a selected member of a series of devices disposed along the path of the compounding member. Figs. 1 and 3 show electrical apparatus of this kind adapted to the compounding device described in Specification 16,592/11, in which the slide E is moved by a chain passing over sprocketwheels driven by motors D on the shafts A<1>, A<2>, and the pantograph pin is carried in a carriage which is moved upon the slide E by a chain passing over sprocket-wheels driven by motors D on sleeves, one of which is shown at B. A band F<1> of conducting- material passes over pulleys on the shafts A<1>, A<2> and is divided into two equal portions by two centrallysituated insulating-pieces F<3>. The band makes contact with a series of contacts F, which are connected to a corresponding series F<4>. Between the contacts F<4> and a conducting drum G is passed a perforated pattern strip. When a contact passes through a perforation into contact with the drum, an electric circuit is closed, and current passes from a battery H through this drum G, the selected contact F<4>, the corresponding contact F, and the band F<1>, to one or other of the motors D, according as to the side of the insulating strips F<3> on which the selected contact is formed. The motor is thereupon operated until the strip F<3> reaches the selected contact, and the electric circuit is broken. In a modification, the band F<1> is replaced by a narrow contact - plate fixed upon the slide E. Two contacts at the drum G are selected together, one to close the circuit of one or other of the motors and the other to select a contact such as F. The circuit of the motor passes through contacts controlled by an electromagnet and when the contact plate on the slide reaches the selected contact F, a circuit through the electromagnet is closed and the contacts in the motor circuit are separated. Fig. 3 shows a method of wiring which reduces the number of contacts at the drum G. A contact is selected from the series F bv selecting one contact out of each of the series F<5>, F<6>, &c. and 1, 2, 3, &c.

Abstract: 21,247. Valentine, G. Sept. 26. Receiving-devices for house doors &c.-A depository for packages &c., intended to be placed in a wall, partition, door, &c., comprises a metal frame a adapted to be bolted or otherwise secured outside an opening c in the door &c., a door d hinged to the outside of the frame at e and having a handle f on the outside, and arms or brackets g projecting from the inner face, these arms being notched at their outer ends to support the trunnions h of the collecting-box or container i. The arrangement is such that, when empty, the container rests with its upper edge against the inner face of the door d and is free to swing through the opening when the door is pulled back. The placing of any article in the container causes it to tilt into the position shown in dotted lines, the upper edge of the container becoming locked behind the lower edge of the frame a; this being so, the door d cannot be opened, nor can access be had to the container from outside until the article contained has been removed. In a modification, the container i carries lugs which rest in a pair of yokes supported by the arms g, and a locking-device comprising coacting hooks, one fixed and one on the base of the container, is employed.

Abstract: 25,143. Duquenne, C. Dec. 12, 1911, [Convention date]. Momentum apparatus.- Means for raising liquids, or pumping fluids of any kind, by the momentum of a column of liquid comprise a tube A, down which water is forced by means of a pump or natural fall, which is connected through an airchamber F, to across tube connecting two tubes B', B2. These tubes contain valves D<1>, D<2> and are connected at the lower end to a suction pipe E and at their upper end to an air-chamber C in which is mouuted the rising mam B. The cross-tube contains an oscillating valve a. Water entering the chamber A<1> divides on either side, and any inequality of movement causes the valve a to move over to one side or the other, for instance, the left side as shown. The water in the column B<2> has a momentum upwards which causes the valve D<2> to open, drawing water after it and causing it to flow up the rising main B. After a short time, this water ceases to flow upwards and commences to flow in the opposite direction ; this causes the valve a to change over its position, repeating the cycle in the other pipe B'. When used for a gas, the apparatus may be arranged horizontally.

Ashes, removing.-An automatic ash-ejector comprising a reciprocating table actuated by gearing at a regular but adjustable speed, in combination with a particular form of scrapers, is used in gasproducers. As shown, the table c, which is supported on wheels, is reciprocated by means of gearing d and a rack e above the base-support b of the fuel bed. The half f of the bearer for the bars of the grate, which is preferably of inverted conical form, is tapered at its lower edge to assist in shearing clinker, and is supported by brackets g. The other half i is extended downwards to act as a scraper. An auxiliary scraper j is fixed behind it to prevent ashes that fall between the fire-bars from being withdrawn by the table on its return stroke. The generator casing is extended to form a steam and air tight box to guard the table during its backward motion.
