Patent GB-191126023-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Device for the Transference of Passengers and Goods in Trains and the like while the same are in Motion.
Inventor: SCHELEST ANDREY PAWLOFF
IPC: B61K1/00
Filed: 1911-11-21
Granted: 1913-01-21
Abstract: 26,023. Schelest, A. P. Nov. 21. Transferring articles to or from trains in m o t i o n . - Passengers and goods are transferred to or from moving trains by means of platforms running on tracks carried by the vehicles or arranged alongside the rails. When an auxiliary track is used, with an incline at each end, the platform is started down one incline and is coupled up to the train when the latter overtakes the platform; the exchange then takes place and the coupling is disconnected, and finally the platform is brought to rest on the other incline. Fig. 5 shows the arrangement when the tracks consists of wires n carried by flexible supports at each end of the train. A carriage g<2> is supported by the wires, at the forward end of the train and moves down the incline when the wires are depressed by a lever x. The carriage is lowered on to the ground by cords w and a hand-wheel u so as to run on rollers t. In order to bring the carriage to rest, a sail r may be unfurled and the wheels t may be braked by depressing a pedal which acts against the wheels or against the track directly. After the exchange of passengers has taken place, the carriage rises up the opposite incline and the passengers then enter the train.

Granted: 1912-12-18
Abstract: 28,528. Major, H., and Gore, C. H. Dec. 18. [Cognate Application, 6208/12.] Cameras, reflex.-The mirror frame D<1>, Fig. 1, is mounted on a panel E sliding in light trapped guides on a partition A<5> near the front of the camera and is connected with the focusing-screen frame B by bellows D<2>. The panel E contains a focusing-aperture E<1> and an exposure aperture E<2>. The focusing- chamber is at all times completely shut off from the rest of the camera. On pressing the operating-lever F, Fig. 2, an auxiliary shutter E<8>, pivoted on the panel E, is first raised against the stop E<9> to cover the focusing- aperture E<1>. Further depression of the lever F raises the panel E until the exposure aperture E<2> is positioned in the axis of the lens, whereupon an ever-set shutter secured on the panel is automatically actuated for an exposure, or alternatively a focal-plane shutter is automatically released. The panel E is returned by a spring E'. An auxiliary screen E<12> on the panel E prevents any light from creeping round the sides of the mirror chamber.

Granted: 1913-09-18
Abstract: 8753. Marks, E. C. R., [Empire Machine Co.]. Sept. 23, 1912. Blowing. - Relates to the air supply for preliminary and final blowing in the machine described in Specifications 21,611/12 and 8752/13 for blowing hollow glassware. Several puffs of air of increasing volume are introduced into the blank, after it has been gauged and marvered, to form an initial cavity. This air is retained within the blank for a n appreciable period, but is released prior to the final blowing. A piston pump 12, Figs. 3 and 8, is fitted above the blowpipe chuck 15 to supply the preliminary puffs of air. The piston-rod 131 is engaged by an arm 132 on a push-rod 133 which is moved longitudinally by cams 121 as the blowpipe frame 11 swings about the shaft 4. The cams 121 are adjustably mounted on a fixed plate 120, and by altering their setting the travel of the piston-rod 131 can be controlled, and hence the volume of the corresponding puff of air. The air for final blowing is furnished by a diaphragm pump 155, Fig. 7, operated by a crown cam 164 on the main rotating cam-plate 6.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Heel Compressing and analogous Machines.
IPC: A43D83/00
Filed: 1913-04-17
Granted: 1914-04-17
Abstract: 9027. Timson, Bullock, & Barber, and Timson, A. R. April 17. Clutches.-To permit yielding when the pressure applied to the work in a heel-compressing, sole-compressing, sole-levelling, or like machine exceeds a predetermined limit, the machine is provided with a pressure - relieving device applied to the driving-mechanism at some point between the prime mover and the main crank or cam shaft. In the form shown, this device comprises a clutch between a collar 1 attached to the driving-member 2, and a hollow boss 3 attached to the driven member. The boss 3 carries spring-pressed members 4, which are provided with faces adapted to engage radial faces 5 on the collar 1. The pressure of the springs is so adjusted that, when the pressure on the work exceeds a certain limit, the members 4, which slide in guides approximately tangential to the collar 1, yield until they are free of the faces 5, thus enabling the shaft 2 to rotate without driving the machine. To enable the machine to be turned backward when desired, the back 4<a> of each plunger is made parallel with the axis of the plunger. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the movable connecting members of the clutch may be pivotally or otherwise movably arranged.

Studs 8 on the inner casing project into the slots and limit the movement of the tube 6 over the thermometer. When the thermometer is lifted out of the hold, the tube 6 falls so that the bulb 2 is enclosed, and the reading consequently remains constant. The slots 7 may be made helical.

Abstract: 29,405. McEwen, J. B. Dec. 20. Tune-sheets; winding- mechanism. - Rhythmical a c c e n t u a t i o n effects are impressed on automatically - played music by cyclically - repeated tempo variations, which are produced automatically, either by spacing the note-slots in the manufacture of the tunesheet, or, in a playing- instrument using ordinary tune-sheets, by the use of an auxiliary sheet or strip controlling the air supply to the winding-mechanism. The Figure shows means for cyclically varying the step-by-step feed-motion of a sheet-perforating machine in accordance with the curve of a cam 8. At each rotation of a handle 27, the cam 8 is raised and thrusts a rod 9<1> to the left to an extent which varies with the varying steepness of the cam. The rod 9<1> operates the feed-spool 4 through a slotted lever 10 and rack and pinion 5. 6. When the traverse of the cam is completed, it is returned to its original position in readiness to commence the next cycle, and the rod 9<1> is restored to the right by a spring 18. This return movement, however, is not communicated to the spool 4, as the spool has a one-way connexion with the pinion 6. To superimpose broad variations of tempo on the rhythm effect due to the cam 8, the pivot 11 of the lever 10 is mounted in a vertically adjustable manner under control of a travelling- nut and crank-handle movement, similar to that which controls the cam 8.
