Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 12,058. Klenke, T. A., and Olsen, S. Feb. 28, [Convention date]. Springs, arrangement of and mounting undercarriages on; guiding vertical play. - Automobiles and other vehicles are provided with pneumatic cushions between supports rigid with the wheel-carrying axles and supports connected to the main axle, each wheel-carrying axle being connected to one or more vertical pins which slide in guides on the main axle. In the case of a steering-axle, the cushion and its supports are capable of turning freely with the axle-end. Fig. 4 shows a swivelling axle-end 7 carried by a pivot pin 6, which is capable of sliding in bearings in the forked end of the main axle 2. The upper end of the pin 6 carries a curved plate 17, which bears against a pneumatic cushion 5. The cushion 5 presses against a plate 18 connected by broad leather straps 19 to a plate 13, which is capable of turning about the upper bearing 11 of the pin 6. Ball bearings 12 are interposed between the plate 13 and a collar on the bearing 11 to take the upward thrust. The lower end of the pin 6 is arranged to work in an oil-cup 16. The axle 2 is connected to the frame of the vehicle by the usual plate springs. Several arrangements having means for preventing the axle-end from swivelling are described for the rear axle. In one arrangement, devices similar to that shown in Fig. 4 are used, and the steering-arms are connected together by a transverse rod which is prevented from moving horizontally by two centrally-arranged jointed links connected to the main axle and transverse rod. In another arrangement, the axle - end 7 is forked at its inner end to embrace the upper limb of the main axle fork, and the fork limbs are provided with rollers which bear against plates on the main axle fork. Fig. 16 shows another modification in which the axle-end has two guide-pins 6 and is provided with a curved part 58 passing through a pneumatic ring which bears against the forks of the main axle. In another modification, the axle-end has two guide-pins, which slide in bearings on each side of the main axle, and is provided with a third pin which extends upward through another bearing to a plate similar to the plate 17 of Fig. 4. The straps 19 in this modification are secured to fixed brackets on the main axle. In another arrangement, the rod on which the cushion is supported is made square to prevent rotation.

Abstract: 16,367. Webb, A., Ogilvy-, and Reinecke, R. C. A. July 15. Arc lamps.-A device for cooling and purifying gases passing from a flame or other arc consists of a more or less shallow chamber having a central inlet and containing baffles or filtering- material, the purified gas being caused to rejoin the impure gas entering the chamber. In one form, the gases pass outwards between baffles b, c, Fig. 1, in a chamber a and return below a false bottom to the inlet of the chamber. The chamber may have cooling-ribs, and may increase in depth towards the periphery; the baffles may be of copper. Additional baffles may be arranged below the false bottom. The baffles may be replaced by perforated partitions enclosing metal turnings, stone breeze, or other granular, fibrous, or other material, preferably of high specific heat. The chamber may be placed at the upper end of the casing enclosing the electrodes ; the gases are then carried up from the arc by a flue, escape downwards into the casing at the periphery of the chamber, and re-enter the chamber round the flue. In another modification, the chamber a, Fig. 3, is at the top of the lamp, and the purified gases pass downwards through an annular space q, enter the casing at u, and are conducted by a funnel s and partition back to the space q.

Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 16,773. Mather & Platt, and Chorlton, A. E. L. July 21. Slide valves; separate admission and exhaust valves. - In unidirectional-flow engines of the duplex valveless type, in which two cylinders placed side by side are connected together at their ends through communicating passages to form one unit, the cylinders A and connecting- passages a are constructed of two similar singlewalled U-shaped tubes, one inverted over the other and connected at their meeting-edges. The tubes are provided with flanges a<2> forming annular channels within which are secured inlet and exhaust boxes C, C'. One or both cylinders may be arranged within a tank E, through which the cooling water or heating steam is passed. The cylinders are supported on the flanges a<2> by means of brackets in the manner shown. This construction avoids difficulties due to unequal expansion. In the double - acting two-stroke-cycle internal-combustion arrangement shown, the inlet box C is divided into two or three chambers to supply air and the explosive charge. The pistons are set one slightly in advance of the other, so that the exhaust ports are opened and closed before the admission ports. Air is blown through the cylinders in advance of the explosive charge. A modification is described suitable for a steamengine. The methods of operation in the two cases form the subject-matter of Specification 16,780/11.
Patent GB-191117409-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Registering Weighing Apparatus.
Inventor: HAULTAIN HERBERT EDWARD TERRIC
IPC: G01G11/02
Filed: 1911-07-31
Granted: 1912-07-31
Abstract: 17,409. Haultain, H. E. T. July 31. Integrating. - Relates to weighing-apparatus wherein one element of a weight - integrating device is driven at a rate proportionate to the travel of the load and a second portion of the integrating - device is governed as to rate of action in proportion to the depression of a frame over which the load passes. The invention consists primarily in applying and removing the load gradually by means of a divided frame hinged at the ends. A record of the load is also made upon a clockwork-driven paper web. The apparatus is described in connexion with the summation of weights of railway-trucks &c. which pass on to a depressible section of the railway track 1 consisting of pairs of rails 2 hinged at their outer ends and similarly supported at their inner ends on a bolster 4 suspended by a rod 5 from one end of a lever 10. A pendulum arm 8 for balancing the load and an arm 12 for operating a portion of the summing-device are rigid with the lever 10. An oncoming truck engages fingers 23 on a chain 17, and, by intermediate mechanism, rotates an horizontal disk 13. At the same time, the movement of the lever 10 and arm 12 displaces a frame 15, which carries a pair of wheels 16 resting on and rotated by the disks 13, and the displacement of the frame .alters the relative speeds of the wheels 16. The alteration of relative speed of the wheels 16 is transmitted by differential gearing to a counter which indicates the total load passed over the machine. At the opposite side of the arm 12 is carried a pencil 45 which records the loads on a clockwork-driven band of paper 46. The summing-mechanism is normally rendered inoperative by means of a hooked rod 24, which is pressed upwards by a spring 29 so as to raise the driven wheels 16 clear of the disk 13. To avoid inaccuracies due to oscillation of the pendulum lever 8 two electro-magnets 28, 33 controlled by the entrance and exit of the trucks and by the movement of the pendulum lever 8, respectively, are arranged to control the rise and fall of the rod 24 in such a manner that the mechanism is only set in operation when the two. conditions of a truck entering the depressible section, and the pendulum lever 8 being at the zero position, are both fulfilled, and the mechanism is only lifted out of operation when the truck has left the section and the pendulum lever 8 has returned to zero. When applied to integrate the passage of grain by a belt conveyer, the travelling belt passes over rollers mounted on frames which operate and are connected to the weighing-apparatus in a manner similar to that of the rails 2. Specification 17,011/12 is referred to.
