Abstract: 3823. Liddle, J., [Alwin Manufacturing Co.]. Feb. 16. Perambulators, c h i l - dren's mail carts, and like vehicles.-The wheels are arranged to be folded under the body, the seat lowered to the frame, and the handle turned over to embrace the seat frame. The wheels are carried by forks secured to sleeves 5 adapted to rotate on the sides 1, 2 of the frame. The open ends of the seat frame 12 are pivoted to brackets 16 on the bars 1, 2; the seat 17 is suspended from it by fabric 18, 21. The foot-rest is also supported by fabric. The handle is pivoted on a cross-rod 35 which limits the downward motion of the seat frame. When the handle is raised or lowered, the seat frame is moved to correspond by means of an arm 42 and toggle-links 36, 37. To lock the links 6, 37 in the elevated position, the lower link has a U-shaped dog 46 flanged to embrace the link 36. The dog is held in engagement by a spring 50 on the end of the pivot 41, while it is operated by a lever 48, perforated to allow depression. In lowering the wheels to the upright position, the motion is arrested by a stop 54 on the arm 40, when by raising the handle, a projection is brought into engagement with lugs 53. A head-rest frame covered with fabric 57 may be mounted on the seat frame. In operation, the wheels are first brought to the upright position, and if the handle be then raised, the wheels and the toggles are locked in position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Water and other Liquid Meters and the like.
Inventor: WOLODIMIROFF NICHOLAS
Filed: 1904-02-25
Granted: 1904-12-22
Abstract: 4693. Wolodimiroff, N. Feb 25. Liquid meters.-In meters of the pendulum type, double-ended conical valves distribute liquid to the measuring-chamber, which is divided into two parts by a flexible diaphragm secured between the convex faces of two discs constituting the measuring- piston Figs. 1 and 3 show sections taken at rightangles to each other, the piston being removed in Fig. 1. The diaphragm C bolted between the members A, A' of the measuring-chamber is clamped between the discs B, B<1>. When the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1, liquid from the valve-controlled inlet P enters the casing through the port o and flows under the valve K through the passage p to the lower face B of the piston, which is raised, the liquid above the diaphragm in the meantime passing through the passage q and over the valve K<1> to the outlet Q. As the piston-rod b rises, it causes the lower tappet d on the slotted frame e, shown enlarged in Fig. 5, to engage the lug n and throw over the pendulum arm M, which strikes one of the lugs N, N'. This causes the shaft F to turn and, by means of the lever m, links m<1>, and rods l, l<1>, the positions of the valves K, K<1> are altered so that the entering water flows into the chamber A', while the measured water escapes above the valve K to the outlet. Liquid is prevented from escaping from the casing A' by the flexible corrugated tube T, attached at its upper end to the cover t and at its lower end to the collar t<1> on the piston-rod b. Rings i prevent the tube t from touching the rod b. The shaft F is also rendered water-tight by the flexible tube S, which is fitted to twist a little during the oscillation of the shaft.

Title: Improvements in Manufacturing Wood-gas.
Inventor: LOOMIS BURDETT
Filed: 1904-03-15
Granted: 1904-04-21
Abstract: 6302. Loomis, B., and Pettibone, H. March 15. Gas-producers.-Producer gas is manufactured from wood in a cupola-shaped producer. Two producers A, B are connected at the top by a flue C and to a tubular boiler E by gas-outlet pipes D, D<1> which are provided with valves. In operation, coal K is supplied to fires on the grates of the producers and coked by down-draughts of air which pass through lids x, and the resulting gas is drawn off by an exhauster which is connected to the boiler. Wood fires I are formed on the top of the coke, and the combustion products passing downwards are decomposed into hydrogen, carburetted hydrogen, and carbon monoxide. Air may be admitted into the base of one of the producers, the outlet of which is closed, and passed up through the distilling wood, forming a mixture of producer gas and aqueous vapours. This mixture passes through the flues C, down the other producer, the lid of which may be partly open, and thence through the boiler to a holder. Vacuum gauges may be placed on the outlet pipes of the producers to indicate the pressure &c. To prevent charcoal and ashes from clogging the coke, steam is blown into the generators to drive the fine charcoal and ash out of the coke and cause them to form an accumulation T at the sides. For this purpose, the steam is admitted to each producer alternately through valves l, m, and the outlet pipe of that producer is closed ; the watergas formed may be drawn off through a pipe G to a separate holder. Instead of steam, a counterblast of air, carbonic acid, or combustion products may be used.

Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 6665. Janssen, T. B. March 20. Alarms, burglar and like. -F o r preventing the theft of a bicycle or other vehicle, a bolt 7 passed between the wheel spokes has a flattened end engaging a corresponding surface 9 upon a pin 8, so that, when the bolt is moved by the spokes or otherwise, a tooth 12 is turned from engagement with a stud 13 and the pin is left free to be shot by a spring 10 to fire a cartridge 21. The bolt is carried by a tubular part 1, which, connected by a pin and slot 5 to a tube 3, is free to turn to a limited extent. The stud 13 passing through the tubes 3, 14 is carried by a lever 28, Fig. 6, mounted upon a clip 27, a spring 30 upon a pin 31 being provided between the lever and the clip. To raise the pin after the cartridge has been fired, the part 19 of a key 18 is inserted within the upper end of the tube 1 and screwed upon a nipple carried by the pin. By means of arms 22, the key is then raised, when, if the tube 1 is so positioned relatively to the tube 3 that the marks 23, Fig. 4, coincide, the tooth 12 passes up by the stud 13 and is engaged therewith. The tube 1 being held from turning, the key may then be unscrewed and reinserted with its shorter end 20 engaging the nipple; as shown in Fig. 1, when the pin is held raised and the bolt may be turned out from engagement with the wheel. To set the apparatus, the bolt is turned to pass between the spokes and the key removed. A pin 17, securing a cartridge-carrier 16 to the tube 14 crosses the bore of the carrier and prevents the destruction or extraction of the cartridge, the tube 14 being connected to the part 3 by a bayonet-joint 15. Thus, should it be attempted to remove the tube 14 when the apparatus is set, it is necessary first to withdraw the stud 13, when the pin would be released. In cases in which it is not desirable that the cartridge should be fired in the event of the machine being touched, a hook 24 engaging the second member of the fork is inserted in a recess in the bolt.
