Abstract: 1383. Marks, E. C. R., [Moore, W. J. P.]. Jan. 18. Crank chambers; fly-wheels.-Relates to a construction of crank-shaft, suitable for use in motorvehicles and shown mounted in the casing of a multi-cylinder engine. Each crank consists of two parallel webs or arms B, C connected by an integral pin D, a central portion E being removed to reduce the weight. The series of cranks A<1>, A<2>, A<3>, A<4> are rigidly connected together, in any desired angular relation, by bolts F, in addition to which polygonal &c. projections J in one part may engage corresponding recesses in the adjacent member. Extensions C<1> are formed as shown upon one or both the web members of each section, and constitute journals by means of which ball races G and straps &c. H are arranged between the cranks to support the device. In the construction shown, one end section A <4> is connected through a similar bearing &c. to a fly-wheel W. The other end A' is similarly mounted and secured to a shaft extension K for various purposes, especially for starting the shaft by hand when the engines are of the internal-combustion type. Ball-bearing seats for the crank-shaft are formed in the engine casing.

Abstract: 6202. Butler, S. March 14. Tyres, pneumatic. -Relates to means for preventing slipping, in which studs, bolts, or the like are passed through the tyre, as described in Specification No. 23,404, A.D. 1903. The tread is formed with recesses A in which the studs &c. are fastened so that their heads F lie normally below the tread-surface but come into contact with the ground as the wheel rotates. Threaded stems G on the bases D of the studs &c. pass through holes in the tyre, which are preferably lined with rubber or the like, and the heads are screwed tightly on them, the stems being atterwards riveted down. The heads are large, or washers E are used, to prevent them from bedding into the rubber. The bases are smaller than the heads, so that they bed into the rubber, or recesses are formed in the rubber, to make an even surface for the air-tube to bear on. A canvas, rubber, leather, or the like strip may be interposed between the air-tube and the cover. The studs &c. can be fastened to the cover in other ways, such as by simply riveting.

Title: Automatic Time Controller for Targets, Cameras, Electric Signs, and the like.
Inventor: BURNUP EDWIN CYRIL
Filed: 1907-03-22
Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 6869. Burnup, E. C., and Kirk, M. March 22. Sand glasses and the like.-A time controller for use with disappearing targets, cameras, electric signs, &c. consists of a three-armed disk Y which is mounted loosely on a shaft D and carries two cisterns A; C connected together by flexible pipes for the flow of powder, sand, water, &c. from one to the other, and a counterweight B. The disk Y is rotated through half a revolution into an operating position by a cord E. A projection F on the disk Y engages a tooth N on a disk X. situated behind the disk Y and fixed to the shaft D, which carries the target or the like. The shaft is thereby revolved and held in position by a pawl G engaging with another tooth 0 on the disk X. The powder or liquid falls from the cistern C into the cistern A, and, after a prearranged interval, the balance is destroyed and the disk Y rotates back to its original position, thereby causing a cam H or the disk Y to throw the pawl G out of action. The shaft D is then rotated by a weight S and cord. The time interval can be adjusted by altering the position of the counterweight or by the valve K or by both. A check valve L inside the cistern C prevents any of the contents flowing into the cistern A before the arms are rotated into their desired position.

Granted: 1909-09-21
Abstract: 15,440. Wellington, J. M., and Dawson, G. C. July 21. Motor road vehicles.-In a spring system for motor road vehicles, a transverse spring acting in opposition to the ordinary springs is fixed at its centre to the frame, and bears at its ends either directly or indirectly against the under portion of the axle or axle casing. The longitudinal springs may be mounted on the upper surfaces of platforms pivoted to the axle or axle casings about an axis parallel to the centre line of the vehicle. One or both ends of the longitudinal springs are allowed to work freely by means of shackle plates, and, when both ends work freely, radius rods are connected to both front and rear axles. In Fig. 1 the springs 5 are shown mounted upon the flat surfaces 6<1> or U-shaped platforms 6 pivoted by longitudinal pins 7 to the axle casing. For the purpose of relieving the pins 7 from the necessity of carrying the whole of the weight borne by the axle, the upper parts of the casings 3 are provided with swells 8 and the lower surfaces of the platforms with corresponding swells 9. The transverse spring 10 is attached to the frame 1, and bears at its ends against the under portions of the casings 3 or against rollers 11 carried by the brackets 12. The invention is also described as applied to the articulated axles described in Specification No. 15,433, A.D. 1908, in which the axle or axle casings are made in two parts hinged to parts carried by the frame. If desired, the curved surfaces 8 may be replaced by rollers. A platform 6<1> constructed on these lines is shown in Fig. 11, the roller 21 rotating in a recess in the upper part of the platform.

Granted: 1909-08-12
Abstract: 19,162. Douteur, M. Sept. 11. Casting.-In an apparatus for producing ingots continuously, the molten metal is forced out of the reservoir 1, Fig. 2, by the pressure of air or other gas, and enters an observation chamber 15 through an upward passage 12. Thence the metal flows through a water cooled mould 18, placed at or about the level of the metal in the reservoir, and through a supplementary mould 21 in which steam acts on the metal. The ingot next passes between rollers 23 which actuate a counting or indicating apparatus, which may automatically control the output. The ingots are then divided by an internally-cooled tool 25, Fig. 5, which causes the production of an ingot with a liquid core 34. In this state the ingot is removed by a conveyer to a rolling-mill &c. Fig. 3 shows a construction of the mould in which a mass of easily-fusible metal surrounds the cooling coil 35, and by melting, which can be observed through an opening 36, betrays insufficient cooling.
