Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 30,156. Drayton, T. J. B. Dec. 24. Clutches, arrangement of; change-speed and reversing gearing.-Clutch mechanism is interposed between the crown bevel, or worm-wheel, and the planet-carrying member of the differential gear so as to take up the drive in a resilient manner and then positively transmit the same. Three bevel-pinions E, e<1>, e<2>, Fig. 1, on the driving-shaft F gear continually with bevel-wheels D, d', d<2>, loosely mounted on an extension C of the casing of the differential gear. Any one of these bevel-wheels is clutched by a sliding clutch member Q to a looselymounted sleeve H having a flange connected to one end of a helical spring I. The spring I is enclosed in an annular recess formed by inner and outer drums J, K, fixed on the extension C of the differential casing. A disk o<1>, slidable longitudinally, carries a pin O adapted to engage the end of the spring I. When the pin is thus engaged, the spring is wound up, and finally binds on either one or other of the drums according to whether the motor is propelling the vehicle or acting as a brake. A reversing bevel-wheel Y on the other side of the shaft F may be connected directly to the differential casing. The invention, although illustrated as applied to toothed bevel-gearing, is ,equally applicable to gearing of the sliding type.

Abstract: 12,905. Short, H. L., Short, A. E., and Short, H. O. May 27. Aerial machines adapted to travel also on land; shock of landing, deadening. - The under-carriage of a flying machine is fitted with wheels and skids so arranged that the machine is normally carried by the wheels, but in case of an abrupt descent the skids come into action. The axle 6 is connected to the skids 1 by indiarubber bands 7, and is prevented from moving rearwards with respect to the skids by rigid stays 14, loosely jointed to the axle and skids, and by flexible stays. By making the stay 14 flexible, the axle is capable of moving endways under stress.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gas Purifiers.
IPC: C10K1/22
Filed: 1910-07-28
Granted: 1911-07-28
Abstract: 18,016. Berlin-Anhaltische Mascbinenbau Akt.-Ges. Abteilung K÷ln-Bayenthal. April 20, [Convention date]. Purifiers.-In a gas-purifier, the bodies for supporting the purifying-substance are suspended on carriers so as to be adjustable in a practically horizontal direction, and the carriers for the supporting- bodies preferably consist of pendulum - like bodies. The purifying-chambers are divided by perforated partitions 11, having spaces 14 between them which pass the gas to or away from each subdivision: these partitions are carried by rollers 12 on rails 13. The supports or carriers 15 are suspended from beams 17 resting upon the rails, and carry ledge-like supporting- means 16 for the purifying- substance. The apparatus is charged through the top, after removal of the covers 21, and is discharged on removal of the bottom covers 19, by moving a partition 11 into the empty chamber 22, and shifting the beams and supporting-means horizontally to allow the purifying-substance to fall, this being facilitated by swinging the ends of the supports 15. The provision of the chamber 22 makes it possible to begin the purifying process without returning the partitions and supports to their previous position, after they have been moved for discharging purposes, each subdivision being moved a distance corresponding to the interval between the pairs of perforated partitions 11. The supports 15 may be made of several portions hinged together, and the supporting-parts may have the shape of plates or trays, or the ledges 16 may be arranged at an angle to the horizontal.

Granted: 1911-04-18
Abstract: 29,051. Wetmore, E. P. June 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Capsules, applying.- Relates to a machine with special means for feeding bottles from a filling-machine to one or two capsuling - heads, and with means for synchronizing the feed with the capsuling operation. Specification 9368/10 describes other parts of the machine. A bottle - carrier 2, Fig. 1 (upper part), of a filling or like machine is driven from a capsuling - machine by a belt B, and delivers bottles to a runway 3, 4 beneath which is a belt conveyer which carries the bottles to a table 2, where they are engaged by a pivoted arm 10. This arm oscillates and distributes the bottles alternately right and left to plungers 7 beneath the capsuling-heads. The arm is pivoted at 9, Fig. 3, and is given slow initial and final movements by a pin 10, which passes through a table 2 and engages a slot 12 in a cam 13 on a shaft 14<a>, Fig. 1. The end 19 of the arm is pivoted at 18, Fig. 3, and at 10<b>, so that, if an obstruction is encountered, the arm gives way vertically against gravity or horizontally against the action of a spring 15. In order to ensure the delivery of bottles in timed relation with the distributing arm, a pair of arms 23, Fig. 6, are placed in the bottle runway 4 and are closed and opened to allow bottles to pass by spring levers 25, 26 operated by crank-pins on a shaft 28 in gear with wheels 30, 31, &c. connected with the shaft 14<a>, Fig. 1. If a bottle is caught between points 24 of the arms 23, springs in the levers 25, 26 give way and breakage is avoided.

Title: Improvements in Time Switches for Controlling Electric Circuits and for Turning On and Off Gas Lights.
Inventor: MEHNE JOHANN GEORG
IPC: F23Q9/02
Filed: 1911-01-28
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 2259. Mehne, J. G. Jan. 28. [Addition to 14,052/09.] Actuating.-Relates to gasvalve or electric-switch actuating - mechanism with arms rotating on a 24-hour wheel adapted to release the detentlever of a spring - operated valve or switch arm and then to re-set the spring as described in the parent Specification, and has for object to enable the actuating-mechanism to be put out of action when desired, for instance in summer. As described in connexion with switch mechanism, the improvements consist in providing the switch-lever d, Fig. 1, with two teeth r, s which act successively in conjunction with the suitably-shaped ends of the rotating arms a, one tooth s providing for the switching-on and the other tooth r for the return of the switch-lever and for the re-setting of its spring p. As the first arm a reaches the pawl b, which by engagement with a pin on the switch lever normally maintains the switch mechanism set, the pawl is moved aside and as the arm moves on, the switch lever, by reason of the gap between the two teeth, is released as shown in Fig. 2. With further movement of the arm, the switch lever is raised, and, just prior to the arm leaving the teeth s, the pawl is released to engage with the pin and retain the lever set. The second arm a. at the desired time-interval, reproduces the action of the first. When it is desired to put the switching - mechanism out of action, the two arms a are put into juxtaposition. In this case the second arm a, by its engagement with the tooth r, prevents the release of the switch lever, and, when the first arm is about to pass the tooth s, the pawl which has been moved aside is allowed to take up the position in which it locks the switch lever in the set position. Instead of the ordinary rotating cam-disk providing for seasonal adjustment of the actuating-arms, a stepped disk q may be used so that a certain interval of time may be provided for in the adjustment.
