Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 20,800. Agolini, G. Oct. 5, 1910, [Convention date]. Barometers.-Consists of a recording mercury barometer in which a float resting upon the mercury is connected to a sliding device carrying the style of the recording-mechanism. The float 12, located in a chamber 3, is fixed to a rod 13 extending down through the mercury tube and terminating in a plate 14, to which are secured a number of vertical rods 16 connected together by two rings 17, which carry rollers bearing against the outer surface of the tube to facilitate sliding. The style 19 draws the diagram on a rotating drum 22, and a second style 23, controlled by a float 26 in the mercury basin 5, draws the base-line of the diagram. In order to introduce the mercury into the barometer, the lower end of the tube is first closed by raising the rods 16 and the plate 14, which is provided with a rubber packing, and the suction pipe of a pump is applied to the outlet 9<1> of a cock 9. A slotted ring 7 is rotated to close slots 4<1> in a well 4, which is then filled with mercury. The plate 14 is slightly lowered, and mercury rises in teh tube. When the mercury has risen above the plug of the cock 9, the cock is closed, the suction pipe is removed, and a vessel 10 is filled with mercury, in order to submerge the cock and prevent entrance of air therethrough. The slotted ring 7 is then rotated to allow the mercury in the well 4 to flow into the basin 5, and the level of the mercury column falls to its correct position in the chamber 3.

Abstract: 26,120. Marks, E. C. R., [Putilow Works Co.]. Nov. 22. Clutches.-Comprises mechanism for reversing the driven shaft of hydraulic couplings in which the power of the driving-shaft is utilized to operate the controlling-member of the coupling. The controlling-member b is forked and engages a pin d, on a nut d1 which slides up and down as the spindle c rotates and rocks the member about the point o. The mechanism for reversing the motion of the spindle f, connected to the spindle c by an Oldham coupling g, is contained within the upper casing, and consists of two friction clutches, inoperative in the position shown, but capable of being brought into action by means of the lever x. The cups G, and G2 are attached to the sleeve hand hence, through the nut i, to the spindle f. Within these cups are alternate layers of steel and fibre rings, kept from rotating by feathers. The shaft p rotates continuously in one direction, being driven from the driving-shaft, and hence turns bevel-wheels n1 and n2 in opposite directions. A shaft v behind the casing, and operated by the lever x, carries a toothed sector engaging the worm t, and in moving the sleeve up or down, brings one or other of the frictionclutches into operation and so rotates the spindle f in the desired direction.
