Title: Improvements in, and in the Manufacture of Barrels of Ovale Section for Rotary Engines, Pumps, Blowers and Meters of the Crescent-shape Chamber Type.
Inventor: LEE HERBERT
IPC: B23Q35/10
Filed: 1910-05-28
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 13,001. Lee, H. May 28. Fixed-abutment type; packing vanes. - The chambers of rotary engines &c. of the type shown in Fig. 5 are of a modified oval shape produced by a generating-mechanism in a copying-lathe. The flange 91, Fig. 6, of the chamber and the outside 92, of the body of the chamber are concentric circles, in section, centred at 98. The dotted line 94 is the oval first generated, and 93 is the oval as modified to give the clearance required for the shoes 82. The oval 94 is such that all diameters through the point 99 are equal, thus permitting the use of an integral vane 79. The circle 104 is centred at 98 and is drawn to indicate the character of the curves 93, 94. The shoe is curved to fit the point of greatest curvature.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Railway Signal Operating amd Controlling Apparatus.
IPC: B61L5/16
Filed: 1910-07-01
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 15,831. McKenzie & Holland, and Pearce, W. A. July 1. Visual outdoor signals; slots, reversers, and like apparatus.-Apparatus for controlling and operating semaphore signals in which an electro-magnetic clutch and a motor are employed is provided with a quick-acting switch in the motor circuit and a brake for the motor, which are operated simultaneously. A dash - pot is provided to absorb shock as the signal moves to danger by gravity. The motor 1 drives the wheel 2 through reduction gear. The wheel 2 carries a number of studs 10 which engage a pawl 16 pivoted on a disk 11. This pawl 16 is rigid with the arm 18, which may be held in the position shown by the lever 15 connected to the armature 13 when the clutch-magnet 12 is energized. If the magnet is de-energized, the pawl is turned about its pivot by the studs 10, and does not move the disk 11 on the signal, which is either mounted on the spindle 8 or is operated by a rod attached to a crank on the spindle. If the magnet is energized when the motor drives the disk 2, the disk 11 is moved until the projection 37 meets the arm 36. This lifts the member 34 and opens the switch contacts in the motor circuit, and applies the brake block 25 to the disk 26. The quick-acting switch is held closed normally by the arm 28 engaging a projection on the lever 29. The levers 29, 22 are acted on by a compression spring 33 and a tension spring 31, which are caused to exert greater forces just before the latch is removed so as to move the switch member 20 quickly. The switch is closed and the brake removed as the signal arm returns to danger by a projection 38 engaging the arm 36. The part 34<a> of the member 34 draws down the arm 22, compressing the spring 33 and extending the spring 31 until the catch 28 engages the latch on the lever 29. A dash-pot, of which the piston is connected to the arm 41, absorbs shock as the signal arm moves to danger.

Abstract: 21,527. Weatherhead, F. W. Sept. 16. Liquid supply controlled by motion of gas. holders.-In acetylene-generators in which the supply of water to the carbide is controlled by the motion of the bell of the gas-holder, it is arranged that the floating perforated bodies h<1>, Fig. 2, through which the gas passes into the gas-bell b shall be of conical shape, and a dome b<2> is formed in the gas-bell to accommodate them. In addition, the water - supply valve consists of a rod or weighted tube e<2>, Fig. 4, with a valve disk e<1> at the lower end, which closes a nipple d'. The rod c is raised by a lever f , Figs. 3 and 4, operated by a rod g projecting from the gas-bell, and it is arranged that this rod may slide back into an inoperative position. Water is supplied from a tank e through an aperture e<5>, Figs. 2 and 3, in the surrounding tube e<4>, and the supply in this tank may be maintained at a constant level by a ball-cock arrangement or by communication with the gas-bell tank through an aperture a', Fig. 2. The water may be taken from a separate tank in which the conical bodies h<1> float, and in this case the water supply is controlled by a cock o<1>, Fig. 6, connected to the bell by a bar p. Water passes by a pipe q to the distributing-systems, consisting of pipes q<5>, and cocks q<3>, q<4>, q<4x>, arranged so that water may be supplied to either of the two generators c, c<1> and overflow into the other when the first is exhausted. In this construction, all the pipes are straight to facilitate cleaning.

Abstract: 13,215. Hattersley, I. A., and Hudson, G. R. June 1. i Stopping pipes and tubes. - The closure member of a vessel, aperture, pipe, &c. is retained by a packing-ring so mounted and shaped as to be rotated by a rim on the stopper, when the latter is forced in, and to engage the stopper tightly by protruding over it on one or both sides of the rim. The vessel mouth a, Figs. 1 and 2, has a groove with edges bl, b<2> for retaining the elastic packing c of snailshaped section. The stopper d has a cusped or triangular rim e, which, when the stopper is pressed inwards and turned, rotates the packing in the groove and causes it to retain the stopper, as in Fig. 2. The ring c may be carried by the stopper, the rim being in this case formed on the vessel. Where a very tight seal is not required, the edge b<2> may be omitted. The application to a metal cover for a bottle is shown in Fig. 7, with the ring c of notched circular section. The stoppers are removed by twisting or by leverage, suitable pulling-devices being provided; in the case of vacuum-secured closures, ordinary puncture may be employed. When the packing - material is used along straight edges, such as for rectangular openings, it may be of a rigid nature.

Abstract: 14,136. Sips, G. June 14. Tell-tale apparatus.- To record the arrival of race horses, a narrow strip of fabric 8 extends across the course slightly behind the line of arrival. The strip passes through a fixed terminal 7 and is fastened to a second terminal 9 at the end of a spring 11. The terminals 7, 9 are in circuit with a cut-out 16 and an electro-magnet 14, the armature 15 of which actuates a photographic shutter. When the strip 8 is broken by the first arrival, the terminal 9 is pulled suddenly against the terminal 7 completing the circuit, the armature 15 operates the camera shutter, and the circuit is immediately broken again by the spring 11. A screw 12 adjusts the tension of the spring 11 and the other end of the strip 8 is fastened to the drum of a small windlass 13 which has a dynamometer (not shown), to measure the tension exactly.

Abstract: 15,822. Matthews, M. H., and Rownson, Drew & Clydesdale. July 7. Counters for articles; counters, arrangements of.-Means for counting the passage of articles or receptacles carried by an endless-chain conveyer or elevator comprise a counterweighted plate engaged by the article or receptacle mounted on a shaft 2 carrying a plate 5 provided with a slot formed of an eccentric part 7 and two concentric parts 6. In the slot rides a stud 8 mounted on a vertically sliding bolt 9 carrying an arm 11 provided with a slot receiving a pin 13 projecting from the actuating- lever 14 of the counter 15, actuation taking place while the stud moves in the part 7 of the slot. Where the carrier is constituted by flexible 'pockets empty pockets pass over the counterweighted plate without affecting the register. Reverse movement of the carrier causes no movement of the stud 8 owing to the engagement of this stud with that part of the slot 6 of greater radius. In order to obviate a double register of an article, due to temporary reversal of the carrier, a second cam-plate is arranged to register the reverse movements and the true number is obtained by a comparison of both registers.
