Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 12,781. Hounsfield, L. H. May 29. Race games.-In race games in which wheeled objects run down an inclined track, the wheels are constrained by some control device in order to prolong the time of the race. The control device may consist of a flywheel C, the spindle E of which rests on the peripheries of a pair of wheels B<1>. In another form, the wheel C may be formed with chambers connected by tubes and containing a quantity of liquid, or the wheel may be made hollow and partly filled with a viscous fluid. The spindle E, where it joins the wheel C, is of conical form in order to prevent the wheel from rubbing against its supports. The objects may be started simultaneously by electro-magnets which can all be de-energized by breaking a single switch. The winning object may be indicated by an electric device, or by a number of light - weight numbered blocks which are displaced by the objects as they arrive at the end of the track. In order to adjust the carriages so as to give them approximately the same velocity, an adjustable weight is attached to the frame to vary the friction of one or both pairs of wheels.

Abstract: 14,073. Hollopeter, W. H. June 15. Driving-gear.-To enable the speed of rotation of the crank-shaft to be varied without resorting to the use of change-speed gearing, the motion of the piston is transmitted to the crank-shaft through an oscillating link which moves about an adjustable fulcrum. In Fig. II, an oscillating link 8 is shown embracing an adjustable slide-block 24 which turns on a hollow shaft 9 carrying a toothed wheel engaging a rack 25. The engagement of the rack and pinion prevents relative motion between the slide-block 24 and the link 8 during normal working. To adjust the shaft 9, it carries at one end a pinion 22, Fig. III, which engages a rack formed on the top side of a slot 13 in the engine framing. The slot is also adapted to receive a sliding bearing 18 for supporting the shaft 9. Rotation of the pinion 22 is effected through worm gearing 14, 15 and a telescopic shaft 27, 29 actuated by gearing 30, 31. The inclination of the slot 13 is such that for each adjustment of the shaft 9 the ratio between the clearance, volume and the piston displacement is constant.

Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 8297. Saxton, C. D. April 3. Direct steam-pressure apparatus, automatic. -In a combined steam pressure and vacuum apparatus for raising water, pressure generated by a tubular flash boiler 21 is transmitted through a pipe 18 to a tank 10, thus forcing the water in the latter into a storage tank 15 through a pipe 14. As the pressure in the tank 10 falls, a spray of water enters near the top through a small pipe 22 supplied from the tank 15, resulting in a rapid condensation of the steam, which in its turn causes water to be raised by atmospheric pressure in the pipe 11 and through a valve 12. The pipe 11 is fitted with an air-inlet valve 13, which maintains an air trap at the top of the tank 10 and in the pipe 18. Water to the boiler 21 is fed through pipes 22, 24, the former of which dips below the tank 10; or alternatively a by-pass leading to the small tank 20, which is in effect a steam dome, may be fitted to the pipe 22 somewhat below the level of the tank 20.
