Title: Improvements in Railway Signaling Systems.
Inventor: ALLISON CHARLES ARTHUR
IPC: B61L3/10
Filed: 1912-12-19
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 29,238. Allison, C. A., [Wooding Railway Warning Device Co.]. Dec. 19. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains, and for stopping trains.- In a cab-signalling system in which the air - brake on the engine is normally held off by an electro-magnet in a normallyclosed engine circuit which is broken on the creation of a ' danger ' condition, the track contacts have a housing normally spring - held over the main portion which is parallel to the rails. The contacts of each block are connected in series, they themselves being comparatively short. They consist of two members 8, 9 at one side of the track, the former being a fixed bracket supporting a contact bar 10, and the latter a pivoted support carrying a housing-member 24 normally held over the bar 10 by a spring 19 in a casing 18. The bars 10, 24 are separated at their ends 29 to allow of the entrance of the engine contact 30, being supported on forked bracket arms, and the part 28 of the bar 24 is cut away. The bar 24 is made of spring steel to allow of the main central part being moved on the arms 9 while its ends are fixed. The engine contacts 30 are pivoted on insulated supports on either side of the engine and one of their arms carries a projection 54 normally spring-held in contact with an insulated clip 55 which is connected through a switch 61 to a battery 42, the other pole of which is connected through a resistance 65 with (1) the contacts 30 through a magnet 67 the armature of which normally closes a valve in the brake pipe, which, when opened, applies the brake and operates a whistle 4, and (2) the engine frame through a bell 71. When an engine passes on to a track contact the local circuit is broken at clip 55, but current passes from track battery 75 through contact 30, magnet 67, bell 71, and the frame to give a ' safety ' signal. If the battery 75 is broken or partly or wholly short-circuited by another train, the magnet 67 will release its armature to apply the brake and blow the whistle.

Abstract: 17,508. Krause, G. A. July 31, 1912, [Convention date]. Spray evaporators.- In evaporating or concentrating solutions, or carrying out chemical reactions, by converting the liquids by means of an atomizer F situated within the drying &c. chamber A into a layer of mist against which the reacting gas or vapour is directed from below, the atomizer F is placed at or near the centre of the layer of mist, so as to produce a layer thinnest at the edge portions, the reacting gas &c. thus penetrating the layer mainly at the edge portions on all sides of the atomizer. The gas &c. is supplied at low velocity either at the centre or by a ring of openings D, and escapes together with vapour through slightly larger openings G. The dry powder may be subjected to a further quantity of drying-agent, and collects in a tapering part B at the base of the chamber. The atomizer F may consist of (1) an horizontal disk which rotates at high speed and on to which the liquid is conveyed by a pipe or nozzle; (2) a device similar to a micrometer, the set-screw of which is bored through; or (3) a plate against which the liquid is impelled so as to move away at an angle as a layer of mist.

Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 23,628. Jerram, A. E., Gouldbourn, J., Woodcock, R. B., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Dec. 24, 1912. Work - supports. - A work - support for machines used in the manufacture of boots and shoes, shown applied to a machine of the type described in Specification 10,883/95, [Class 17, Boots &c.], is provided with means to adjust automatically the relative traverse of the tool and the shoe-carrying jack in accordance with the size of the shoe placed in the machine. The shoe - carrying jack is moved below the roll by means comprising a worm gear segment B<12> and a worm - wheel M<1> on a shaft M. The shaft M is reversed by the operatinn of a rod N connected through links N<1>, N<3> with the segment B<12>. The link N<1> carries a stop N<2> adapted to engage opposed surfaces O, O<1> on the machine frame as the segment B<12> moves. The surface O<1> is inclined so that if the stop N<2> is lifted, the segment B<12> moves through a greater distance before the surface is engaged and the reversing-mechanism operated. To adjust the height of the stop in accordance with the size of the shoe in the machine, a band or wire P is attached to a bracket A' on the machine frame, passes round pulleys N<4>, B<13>, at the junction of the links N<1>, N<3> and the link N<3> and segment B<12> respectively, and is passed over and attached to a segment D<4> connected with the heel rest D of the jack. According to the position the heel rest takes up when the shoe is jacked, more or less of the band P is freed and the links N, N<1>, N<3> adjust their positions relatively to the surfaces O, O<1>.

Granted: 1914-06-04
Abstract: 6183. Morse, F. L. Aug. 29, 1913, [Convention date]. Golf - practising appliances.-An appliance for practising golf comprises arrangements for simultaneously indicating the distance, elevation, and deflexion of the stroke from the desired direction. The ball is tethered to a loop 4 attached to a plunger 2 which is drawn forward against the resistance of a spring 11 by the momentum of the ball and is thereupon automatically retained by a gripping-device 17. The plunger barrel is supported on pivots 5, 31 so as to be free to turn in both an horizontal and a vertical direction. The pivot 31 is pressed upwards by a spring 33, and after the plunger has been sufficiently displaced, it allows the pivot 31 to rise and thereby to release a spring-pressed catch 29, causing a segmental brake 25 to be applied to a graduated segment 24 attached to the plunger barrel. The segment 24 indicates the angle of elevation of the stroke. The brake 25 is arc-shaped and is graduated on the upper surface 37 so that the angle of horizontal deflexion of the stroke may be read off. The distance of the stroke is indicated by a sliding sleeve 12 connected with the plunger. A restricted air passage 22 cushions the return of the plunger.
