Granted: 1902-07-17
Abstract: 11,189. Diescher, S. E. May 15. Clutches; s h af t couplings.-Relates to coil clutches and couplings. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 show the invention applied as a clutch for a pulley. The two coils 3, 3<a> engage at their outer ends, by means of lugs 8, 8<a>, with abutments formed inside the pulley boss, and at their inner ends, by lugs 9, 9<a>, with a floating-lever 11<a>. This lever may be turned to tighten the coils upon the shaft by means of an inclined projection 12<a> formed on the shell 18, which is fitted over the end of the pulley boss and on the shaft and may be moved to and fro by a lever 19. The abutment for the lug 8<a> is formed by an inclined surface on a rod 16 adjustable endways. In a similar form of the device, used as a shaft coupling, the floating-lever is merely provided with a set-screw to tighten the coils.

Abstract: 27,439. Middleton, P. C., and Middleton, G. Dec. 12. Carriages convertible intomotor road vehicles.- Relates more particularly to electrical ly-propelled carriages of the brougham or landau type, and consists in making the same adaptable for horse-traction, and in improvements in the storage of the accumulators, in the mounting of the steering-wheels, and in the underframe. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a landaulet, Figs. 2 and 3 plan and side elevations of parts of the underframe, and Fig. 4 plan of the front undercarriage. The boot a accomodates half of the accumulators, the other half being placed under the carriage seat b, access to them being obtained by removing the box seat c and the carriage seat. The under or motor frame consists of a tubular or rectangular frame d formed integral with a pair of tubes e which converge to, and are fixed in, a bracket g.

Title: A Range Finder, Follower and Station Keeper
Inventor: BAKER FREDERICK NOLAN
Filed: 1902-12-15
Granted: 1904-01-14
Abstract: 27,564. Baker, F. N. Dec. 15. Range-finders.-Fig. 1 shows an instrument of the sextant type adapted to give the range of an object of known height, such as a ship's mast. A base-plate A is fitted with a telescope G, a fixed mirror j, a movable mirror h on an arm D pivoted at g, and an arm B pivoted at b. A graduated drum C is mounted on an axle which screws in nuts c<1>, c<2> fixed to the arm B. As the drum C is set to the known height of the base (ship's mast, say), its axle acts through a lever d against the free end of the arc D, and thus rotates the mirror h. The arm B is then rotated until the base, as seen through the telescope and mirrors, is in coincidence. When this has been done, the range can be read off on a scale the surface of which is normal to the base A.

Granted: 1905-03-28
Abstract: 7347. Thwaite, B. H. March 28. Gas producers.-A. primary air inlet D, Fig. 1, is provided at the top, and secondary air inlets C at a lower level, the gases generated being withdrawn from the centre of the base of the generator by a fan or blower 4, Fig. 3. The primary air inlet is arranged on the side of the charging-hopper Hand is fitted with a regulating-valve G. Arrangements may also be made for regulating the secondary air supply ; or a single secondary air inlet may be provided and fitted with a valve. The two valves may be connected so as to be actuated together. The shell B of the generator is supported on standards S, and a circular plate Q dips into water contained in a bath 0 and prevents the escape of gas while permitting withdrawal of clinkers &c. from the bath. In the centre of the base of the generator is a pipe J having a conical steel head L and carried by a bracket M. Vertical firebars N hang from the bracket and dip into the water. The gas is drawn from the generator through a coke-tower scrubber 2 and hydraulic washer 3, and is then forced through a filter apparatus containing slagwool, wood shavings, wood wool, or sawdust. The gas then passes to a governor holder to which a wire is attached, so that, when the holder reaches a certain height, a valve is operated to permit the gas to escape to the inlet of the exhauster. Bye-pass pipes 7 are provided in connection with the filter 5. The air supply may be forced into the generator under pressure. The secondary air supply may be heated by passing up between the shell of the generator and an outer shell reaching to the height of the secondary air inlets. Instead of the capped tube, a hollow steel or refractory bridge may serve as the exit for the gases, the bridge being provided with vertical fire bars dipping into the water.

Granted: 1905-03-09
Abstract: 9516. Lennox, A. B. April 26. Smoke and fumes, treating.-A combined evaporator and smoke-washer consists of a tank a containing brewers' wash, sewage, spent dyes, &c., through which are drawn flue gases in a quantity regulated by the position of the perforated bucket m with respect to the entry pipe h. The orifice e, whereby the gases and vapours pass into the compartment c on their way to the fan, causes the gases to pass through the liquid close to the pipe h, thus aiding the circulation of the liquid. The compression of the hot gases as they flow through the downwardly-tapering pipe h increases their heating effect.

The shaft has at each end two arms e, f, of which one e is fixed to the shaft while the other f can rotate relatively to the shaft. The shoe j on the tree arm holds the brake block i, which acts on the rim of the wheel, and at the back of the shoe a stud k projects through the fixed arm e and has the nut m screwed on it, the spring n normally keeping the two arms e, f apart. An arm o at the middle of the shaft c. operates the brake by the lever p and the piece q, and the blade spring r keeps the blocks clear of the rims of the driving-wheels when the lever is not depressed. In a modification, the shaft c is divided at the middle, additional brackets b being provided, and arms at the centre ends of the two parts of the shaft are operated by a cord or the like passing over a pulley fixed to the piece q. In another modification, there is only one arm e with a brake block rigidly attached to the shaft.

Abstract: 14,049. Tilden, W. D. July 7. Lubricating- pumps; actuating pumps; oscillating pumps; stroke, varying; immersed pumps.-Relates to adjustable - feed multiple pumps for supplying lubricatingand other fluids in predetermined quantities to t h e bearings and other parts of automobile and other machinery, or for supplying petrol to the inlet passage of the engines. The pumps are of the class in which the pump casing oscillates on a concave seat provided with two ports, which communicate, alternately, with the barrel, and the invention consists (1) in oscillating the series of barrels 6, Fig. 3, over the inlet and outlet tubes 10, 9 by means of cams 30 bearing against the yokes 31, and (2) in rendering the stroke of one or any of the pumps variable while they are in motion, by adjusting the position of rods 22 which screw into yokes 19, and against which bear the pivoted pump levers 20 operated by cams 29. The pump casing is trunnioned at the centre of pivoted levers 16, the pressure on the seat 2 being adjusted by a nut bearing on a bar 17. The same lubricating-fluid may be discharged through all the tubes 9 by plugging the inlet tubes 10 and opening the side passages 13, or different liquids may be supplied by plugging the latter and opening the former.
