Abstract: 28,384. Escuder, J. Dec. 6, 1909, [Convention date]. Moving handles and the like for stairs and inclines.-Apparatus for assisting persons in ascending a staircase comprises a rope a, carrying a handle or handles x, which is suspended in the well. The rope a is wound on the drum b and passes over a pulley so suspended by levers that when a person bears upon the rope, a lever is swung over and the motor circuit is completed and at the same time a clutch member connects the motor shaft to the drum shaft through a forward train of gearing. When the rope is released, a reverse train is put into engagement and the rope is paid out. When the rope is unwound to its fullest extent the motor circuit is opened, and the rope stops. A spring drum z<1> is provided to assist the return of the cable a. In a modification, the cable a terminates in a ring which is provided with tubular members running upon vertical guidewires, and the handle is attached to a ring mounted on the exterior of the first ring.

Granted: 1911-01-05
Abstract: 28,661. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. Dec. 11, 1909, [Convention date]. Alternating - current induction machines.- In reversing polyphase motors by interchanging the connexions between the motor and the supply mains, the connexions a, b to be interchanged are shortcircuited before reversal at the moment when the currents in the windings a, b are of equal value. This is effected by closing the second switch before opening the first. The reversing-arrangements may be duplicated or triplicated, so that the reversal may be effected in any pair of windings. A synchronizing-lamp s may be employed for indicating the moment when the currents are of equal value, and the reversal may be effected by known automatic synchronizing- devices.

Abstract: 18,205. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Aug. 11. Nitrobenzoyl- and aminobenzoyl-aminobenzoylamino derivatives of sulphonic acids, which have an affinity for cotton fibre, are produced by further condensing one or two molecules of nitrobenzoyl haloids with the aminobenzoylamino acids described in Specification 1441/11 and reducing the products obtained. The colourless compounds may be diazotized on the fibre and combined with azo dye components. In an example, diaminobenzoyldiaminostilbene disulphonic acid is condensed with p-nitrobenzoyl chloride and the product reduced. The final compound is absorbed by the fibre, and when diazotized yields with #-naphthol a fast red, and with I-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone a greenish-yellow shade. As parent materials can also be used the aminobenzoylamino derivatives of diaminodiphenylurea disulphonic acid, and of the sulphonic acids of benzidine, tolidine, dianisidine, benzidinesulphone, aminoazobenzene, toluylenediamine, acetyl-p-phenylenediamine, and of 1:4:6-acetylnaphthylenediamine sulphonic acid.

Abstract: 20,512. Charlesworth, C. Sept. 9. Buoys.-A buoy A for indicating the position of a sunken torpedo, submarine, or other vessel is provided with a spring-driven propeller B to facilitate its escape. The buoy is held in position and its propeller out of action by means of levers H which engage with a collar on the shaft C and rods I which prevent rotation of the propeller, rotation of the buoy itself being prevented bv means of fins mounted thereon which engage guides X in the framework in which the buoy is mounted. The rods I are attached to a cross-bar J which is connected through the link L to the piston-rod of an hydrostatic apparatus by which the buoy is released. On reaching a depth, which is determined by the adjustment of the spring Q, the piston P is forced downwards, thus removing the wedge K from between the levers H and at the same time releasing the propeller B and brake N from the line reel D. The buoy carries with it a fine line which, when used for a torpedo, is spliced on to a heavier line by which it may be raised. Fig. 4 shows the buoy applied to a submarine boat, in which case the line reel H is mounted on the deck, the line I being attached to the frame J on the buoy by an eye R. For lifting an air tube or cable, the line I is passed through an eye G and provided with a stop by which, when the light line is all paid out, the cable or air-tube may be raised to the surface.

Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 23,840. Franþois, J. Oct. 18. Compressing-plant, general arrangement of. - The pressure in the reservoir is maintained normal during periods of maximum consumption by supplying the compressor with air which has been compressed during periods when the consumption is low. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement. The compressor a is connected at one end with the reservoir b, to which the supply pipe c is fitted, and at the other end with an inlet d and a pipe i leading to a reserve reservoir e. The reservoirs b e are connected by pipes f, g provided with valves l, m. Valves h, k are also provided in the inlet d and pipe i. On starting, the valves h, l are opened and the valves k, m closed. The compressor a takes in air at d and compresses it into the reservoirs b, e. When the normal working pressure is reached, the valves are operated automatically or by hand; the valves h, l are closed and the valve k is opened. The compressor a is then supplied with air from the reserve reservoir so that the output is above the normal. If the pressure in the reservoir b now rises above the normal, the valve m is opened to allow the excess air to pass into the reservoir e. A valve j prevents the pressure in the reservoir e from falling below the atmospheric pressure. In a modification, the number of valves is reduced by employing valves of the three-way type ; these may be operated automatically by The pressure in the reservoirs b, e. In another modification, the number of valves is again reduced by connecting the compressor a with the reservoir e through the inlet d fitted with a valve k, as shown in Fig. 8. Another valve l connects the reservoirs b, e. Fig. 11 shows an arrangement in which the efficiency of the reservoir e may be increased by providing an auxiliary compressor o, which when the pressure in the reservoir b falls takes air from the reservoir e and feeds it into the reservoir b ; during this time the compressor a takes in outside air and forces it into the reservoir b.
