Abstract: 3506. Loutzky, B. Feb. 12. Propelling; steering and balancing.-In flying - machines having two propellers arranged at opposite sides of the machine with their shafts extending longitudinally and adapted to be swung independently in vertical planes about a transverse axis, one or more main propellers are provided in the longitudinal axis of the machine and are arranged to be driven by a motor which is separate from that which drives the lateral propellers. The Figure shows the application to a monoplane machine having a supporting-plane T<1> and one or two main propellers P driven by a motor M. In the example shown, the lateral propellers P', P<2> are driven from a separate motor M<1> through bevelgears Z', Z<2>. These gears are mounted in casings which may be swung independently about the transverse shaft by means of handlevers moving over segments H', H<2>. For correcting a lateral tilt of the machine, the propellers P<1>, P<2> are swung in opposite directions; while for lateral steering, one of the propellers is raised to reduce the forward thrust at that side. The machine may be driven by the propellers P<1>, P<2> alone. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, construction of.-The monoplane machine shown is provided with a supporting-plane T', and is driven by one or two main propellers P coupled to a motor M, and by two lateral propellers P<1>, P<2>, which may be driven from a separate motor M<1> and are arranged to be swung vertically through apertures in the plane T'.

Patent GB-191011377-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Musical Instruments.
Inventor: STREICH ROBERT
Filed: 1909-10-06
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 11,377. Streich, R. Oct. 6, 1909. Actions; expression, controlling. -Expression-controlling means comprise two throttle valves, for the treble and base notes respectively, which are preferably o p erated by pneumatic actions of the kind described i n Specification 22,835/09, under normal control. In order to accentuate a note or notes, one of the throttle - valves may be momentarily opened by means controlled from the tunesheet. Eachrange of note-operating pneumatics is controlled by a throttle-valve 29, which is mounted on a pivoted arm and is connected by a link 28 to a pneumatic 27. A spring 32, the tension of which can be adjusted by a nut 33, tends to keep the throttle valve normally open, but, when a lever 37 is operated, air is admitted through the ducts 38, 36, 35 to a primary valve, thereby operating the secondary valve A and connecting the pneumatic 27 to exhaust. The pneumatic 27 collapses, partly closing the port controlled by the throttle-valve 29, and causing all the notes in one range to be sounded softly. To accentuate a note or notes, additional apertures 43 are provided in the tracker bar, and, when one of them is opened, the atmospheric pressure forces up the diaphragms 40, 41, so closing the,duct 38. Air is thus cut off from the primary valve and admitted to the corresponding secondary valve, causing the pneumatic 27 to expand and open the throttle valve 29. Slides 45 are provided to cut off the additional apertures in the trackerbar. According to the Provisional Specification, a valve is mounted on the diaphragm 41.

Title: Improvements in Filtering and in the Production of Filtering Media.
Inventor: SEITZ THEOBALD FRIEDRICH
IPC: B01D39/18
Filed: 1910-06-03
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 13,506. Seitz, T. F. June 3. Filtering - media. - A filtering-plate of variable density having a decreasing permeability in the direction of flow of the liquid is made by the deposition of asbestos, cellulose, cotton fibres, &c. from suspension in a liquid. The body may be composed of a single graduated layer, or may be built up of component layers of uniform but different permeability. A sieve frame f, Fig. 3, is placed on an impermeable support g, and a charging-frame h is provided above. A mixture of liquid and the fibrous medium is supplied to the frame h, and when the frames are lifted, a layer of medium is deposited on the sieve e. As shown in Fig. 5, a hopper l with cock m may replace the support g. The varying permeability is obtained by supplying medium of different fineness, or by regulating the pressure or suction of deposition, as by means of a pump or by a flexible pipe which can be adjusted to vary the height of the effluent column of liquid. The filtering- material may be deposited on a canvas or wiregauze fabric which will serve as a support for the layer.

Abstract: 15,911. Bond, E. S. July 10. Variable-speed toothed gearing; clutches, claw. - Variable - speed gearing suitable for motor-vehicles comprises a clutch member which has at least two circles of balls and is adapted to engage a toothed wheel. The balls carried by such a clutch member 18 are adapted to engage parallel grooves in cylindrical members 3, 4, 5 and 8 surrounding a shaft 1, which is the driven shaft of the gearing. The member 3 is secured to the shaft 1 and the other members are secured respectively to the bosses of gear-wheels 6, 7, and 9. This clutch is adapted to connect the member 3 positively to any of the members 4, 5, or 8. A gap is formed between the wheels 4 and 5 to allow a free position for the balls during speed-changing. In the configuration shown, this clutch is inoperative as the clutch balls on the right rest against a smooth part of the boss of the gear 9. A second ball clutch 19 is adapted to connect a grooved member 11 either to a member 10 or to a member 15. The member 11 is secured to a driving-sleeve 12 and the member 10 to the shaft 1, and the effect of connecting these as in the configuration shown is to produce a direct drive. In the other position of the clutch 19, a countershaft 2 is driven through gears 13, 14, and by moving the clutch member 18 appropriately, two reduced speeds and reversed driving are effected.
