Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 3972. Pywell, J. W. Feb. 17. Mounting cranks on shafts.-Relates to mounting cycle cranks on their axles so that they can be brought to the same level to serve for foot-rests or into opposition for driving purposes. The axle a has near each end a circumferential groove b with a side notch c. The axle end enters a hole d part way through the boss e of the crank f, a lug or set-screw g engaging the groove b. In order to mount the crank, it must be tilted to allow the lug g to enter the notch c, which does not extend to the axle end, and to facilitate this a removable plate i is provided. In driving, a spring h forces the lug g into the notch c, but on the crank being pressed inward the lug or screw g enters the groove and the crank is free to be turned on the axle.

Title: Improvements in Fountain Pens.
Inventor: CELLITTI FRANCESCO
Filed: 1906-05-30
Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 12,588. Cellitti, F. May 30. Pens, reservoir. Figs. 2 and 3 show a longitudinal section of the pen and Figs. 4 and 5 are transverse sections on the lines A-B, C-D. The tubular reservoir 1 is screwed at its lower end to a block 2 and at its upper end to a cap 3. A tube 4 fixed in the block 2 passes centrally up the reservoir, and its upper conical end 5 engages in a conical socket in a tube 21 fixed in the cap 3. The tube 4 opens into a cavity 26 in which slides a valve plug or stopper 8 of cylindrical form with a conical lower end adapted to engage the conical lower part of the cavity 26 and close a slot, through which the ink passes to the pen from a duct 6 communicating with the reservoir. A pin 9 moving in the slot prevents the stopper from rotating, and keeps the slot clear. The stopper is pressed down by a spring 16 surrounding a rod 15 extending up from the stopper. A finger-piece 17, projecting from the stopper through a slot in the block 2, is provided for lifting the stopper and permitting ink to flow to the pen nib 12 through a channel 13. When the stopper is lifted, the upper end of the rod 15 engages the rod 25 of a spring-pressed disk 19, which normally closes an air inlet 20. Air is thus admitted to the reservoir when the stopper is raised. The block 2 is formed with a slit 11 for holding the nib 12. A cap 30 may be placed over the nib, or over the cap 3, as shown at 30'. Small grooves 28 are formed on the stopper for permitting any ink that may have entered the cavity 26 to pass to the nib. A ring 29, which may be screwed up or down on the barrel, regulates the upward movement of the piece 17 and of the plug, and may be screwed down to hold the plug in closed position.

Abstract: 784. Camp, H. B. Jan. 11. Variable-speed and reversing gearing; clutches.-In change-speed aod reversing gearing of the type employing loosely-mounted spur-pinions in conjunction with friction clutches, a driven sleeve 51 carries a fast spurwheel 30 meshing with a pinion 38 upon a countershaft 31. Pinions 27, 28, 29, loose on a driving-shaft 7, are constantly in mesh, directly or through an idler for reversing, with wheels 35, 36, 37 on the shaft 31. The pinions 27, 28, 29 are brought into action in turn to drive the shaft 31 by clutches 9, 10, 11, respectively, and a clutch 12 is provided for driving the sleeve 51 direct from the shaft 7.

Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 15,747. Roberts, M. V. July 9. Water supply.- Strainers for removing solid substances from the water supply of steam condensers &c. are combined with piston valves, and are reciprocated across the intake and discharge passages alternately, so that the foreign matter deposited on them by the water flowing inwards may be washed off by the water flowing outwards: In the apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 2, three strainers of the open cagelike form shown in Fig. 3 are reciprocated by a three - throw crank - shaft 15. Each strainer is combined with two valves 1 and works in a cylinder provided with ports 3, 3<a> and 4, 4<a> for the intake and discharge water respectively. The three c y l i n ders communicate with one another through passages 11, but are otherwise closed, the piston-rods passing through glands 16. Co-acting knife-edges 5, 6 on the pistons and ports may be employed to break up large bodies. The arrangement is such that practically the same amount of strainer surface is always exposed to the intake and the discharge. In a modification, the pistons are driven by epicyclic and worm gearing. Fig. 6 shows two cylinders, each fitted with two sets of intake ports 3, 3<a> and one set of discharge ports 4, 4<a>, each piston comprising two strainers 2 and three valves 1. In a modification, a single cylinder contains two pistons separately reciprocated. In another form, a single cylinder is provided with a piston comprising four cylinders and two valves. In another, two cylinders are connected in parallel to the intake pipe and in series to the discharge pipe, each cylinder containing a piston comprising a strainer, a piston valve, and a through-way. Chambers and strainers of other shapes may be substituted for the cylinder and cage-like strainers. According to the Provisional Specification, the strainers &c. may be used in connexion with water turbines, and the pistons may be faced with lignum vitµ &c.
