Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 19,816. Hochstein, L. Oct. 4, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act , 1907]. Ships' ashes, discharging. - The ascension pipes of ship's ash ejectors, working with water under pressure, are branched so that the ashes may be discharged towards both sides of the ship. In one form the ascension pipe is carried up to a division box from which there lead two pipes, one to each side of the vessel. The path of the discharged ashes is decided by a pivoted plate in the box which places one or other of the the discharge pipes in communication with the ascension pipe. ln the modification shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the ascension pipe b is carried above the division box c<1> and is bent over to discharge into it through the bottomless bucket d, which is suspended from the pipe b<1> by chains. This bucket may be tilted to one side or the other so that discharge may take place through either of the pipes c. The upper surface of the bend b<1> is thickened to withstand wear. In a further modification, the bucket d. the mouth of the pipe b is completely enclosed in a casing, and in a third modification the upper end of the ascension pipe turns in a stuffing-box, so that it may discharge into either of the pipes. Should it be desired to separate the ashes from the water before discharging, a hopper is fitted on the bend of the ascension pipe, and is provided with a hinged bottom.

Abstract: 4156. Warneke, O. W. G. Feb. 19. Coupling - arrangements.-In a coupling for bicycles, motorcycles, &c. comprising transverse members connected to members of the frames and forks by clips and ball or other universal joints, diagonal stays m are arranged in an horizontal plane between the member c connecting the heads and the upper member b connecting the rear forks. The stays are each formed of two rods adapted to fold against the members b, c, and the ends of each pair of rods are clamped or similarly secured together, as by a sleeve n<1> slid over the engaging corrugated or toothed ends of the rods. Where necessary, the transverse members may be telescopically adjustable. The clips for the members a, b consist of two parts hinged together at f, Fig. 5, and provided upon one part with a hinge-bolt g which enters a slot formed in the lug g<2> of the other part, and is secured by a nut g<1>.

Abstract: 5098. Jackson, A. H., and Fourniss, C. W. March 1. Releasing-devices for collectors. - Trollies or collectors for engaging the overhead conductors of electric railways &c. are automatically disconnected from their supporting-springs and allowed to fall when the potential of the normally non-current-carrying parts rises above a predetermined limit. In the construction shown, the pole c is kept in its raised position by the spring s acting through the tubular member o, levers m, and yoke l, on the rod k. The clutch levers m are kept in their engaging position by the rollers r as shown. The normally non-current-carrying parts are connected to earth through a solenoid g and a suitable resistance. When the potential of these parts exceeds a predetermined limit, the solenoid is sufficiently excited to withdraw the rollers r and so disconnect the pole from its supporting-springs.

Title: Improvements in Advertising Apparatus.
Inventor: KLAIBER MAXIMILIAN
IPC: G09F19/18
Filed: 1910-03-15
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 6499. Klaiber, M. March 15. Optical projection apparatus.-Two or more series of illuminated advertisements, pictures &c. A, B, Figs. 2 and 3, situated angularly to each other, have the rays from one or more of the series deflected so that they are seen simultaneously from the same point of view. They may be changed in the Intervals between displaying them. The series of pictures A is projected directly on to a screen E by means of one or more electric lamps 33, while the. series B has the light of a lamp 32 concentrated upon it by a condenser 31, and a projector 30 throws the image upon a reflector 34, pivoted at points 36, and adjustable by means of a slotted arm 38 and nut 40, which deflects it to the similarly adjustable reflector 35 on its way to the screen E. A motor 70 drives the apparatus through a worm 72, which engages a toothed wheel 73 on a shaft 74. The shaft 74 bears a toothed wheel 76, having a stud 78 on one of its faces, which engages one of the slots 79 on the star-wheel 82 at each revolution. The concave edges of the star-wheel 82 engage a segmental flange 81 on the wheel 76 and so the drive is steadied. On the shaft 83 of the starwheel is fixed a toothed wheel 85, which meshes with a pinion 86 on the shaft 87, which operates the series of advertisements &c. A. A chainwheel 84 on the axle 83 drives the operating- shaft of the series of advertisements &c. B through bevel gearing 96, 97. To extinguish the projection on the screen E when the advertisements &c. are being changed, a chain-gearing 104 from the axle 77 of the gear-wheel 76 operates a switch 56, Figs. 3 and 10, and a shutter G simultaneously. A disk on an insulating hub 51 bears the segmental shutter G, and on one side has a conducting ring 55 connected up by conducting pins 57 to a conducting element 56 with a cut-away portion 58. A pair of conducting fingers are capable of resting against the elements 55, 56 and they complete the circuit through the lamps 33. When the cut-away part 58 meets one of the fingers, the circuit of the lamps 33 is broken, and the shutter G at the same time cuts off the rays of projection of the advertisements &c. B to permit of the display being invisibly altered. The advertisements &c. A may be secured upon bars 22, Fig. 9, held by flanges 122 rigidly connected to flanges 121, secured to, or forming parts of, links in the side-chains 20, 21. The advertisements &c. B may be held in a frame 25, Fig. 6, by means of side and bottom flanges 125, 127 and spring pieces 129. Flanges 128, similar to the flanges 121, Fig. 9, secure the holders 25 to the side chains.
