Title: Improvements in Valve-gear applicable for use with Automatic Vacuum Brakes.
IPC: B60T13/46
Filed: 1912-11-16
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 26,371. Vacuum Brake Co., and Dover, H. J. Nov. 16. Fluid-pressure.-In vacuum brakes for electric trains, tramcars, &c., a deadman' valve is used in connexion with valve apparatus constructed as shown in Fig. 3 to admit air to the train-pipe when the driver becomes incapacitated. The train-pipe is formed in two portions b, d, leading respectively from the valve apparatus and ' deadman ' valve a, Fig. 1, to the exhaust pump c, and to the brake cylinder e and vacuum reservoir f. The valve apparatus comprises a diaphragm g, open above to the atmosphere and connected below by a passage h to the pilot valve of the deadman ' valve and by a restricted passage j with the train-pipe b. The stem g<1> is connected also to a second diaphragm k and to valves k<1>, l. When the pilot valve is actuated due to failure of the driver, air is admitted to the valve apparatus by the passage h and raises the diaphragms, thus closing the valve k<1> and cutting off the right-hand portion of the pipe b, which leads to the exhaust pump, from the left-hand portion which communicates with the pipe d through the driver's valve. At the same time, the pipe d is opened to atmosphere past the valve l. In a multiple-unit system, the portions b, d, of the train-pipe on each vehicle are coupled separately throughout the train, so that operation can be effected from the driver's valve of any vehicle. A spring- .loaded valve in the pipe b admits air when the vacuum reaches a certain maximum.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Production of Insulating Layers or Coatings on Electrical Conductors.
Inventor: LOEWENTHAL JACQUES
Filed: 1912-11-30
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 27,651. Loewenthal, J. Nov. 30. Aluminium compounds, depositing; metals, pickling; electrolytes, agitating; electrodes; treatment after electrolysis.-Insulating and fireproof coatings are produced on conducting bodies such as wires and tapes by depositing strongly-adhering aluminium compounds, especially hydroxide, thereon by electrolysis from aluminium salts. Suitable salts are aluminium ammonium oxalate, carrying excess of ammonium oxalate, and aluminium acetate containing a little mercury nitrate. In carrying out the process, the current should be such as to produce a violent decomposition, and the liquid should be agitated by blowing air through it for instance. The conductor a after being freed from grease by means of benzol, ammonia, alcohol, &c., is passed to an etching-bath b containing sodium acetate and a little free acetic acid. In this cell the treated wire is the anode and the cathode d is of copper; the wire then passes through the guiding-tube g to the depositing- cell c containing the aluminium salt; in this cell the treated wire is the cathode, and the anode e is conveniently of lead peroxide formed by treating lead electrolytically in sulphuric acid. The guiding-pipes may serve for carrying the air used for agitating the electrolyte to the space between the electrodes. The electrodes should, as far as possible, conform to the shape of the conductor being treated. If any faults exist in the coating, the treatment may be repeated, and after this the wire &c. is washed, heated to a temperature short of a red heat, and coiled.

The bolts 5 slide in a tube 7 carried by the shaft frame and are pressed outwards by a spring 10. Projections 16 on the bolts extend through a slot in the tube 7, and are adapted to be engaged by arms 14 pivoted to a block 12 which slides in a tube 13. When the block 12 is moved by a lever 17, the arms 14 engage the edges of the tube and converge, thus releasing the bolts 5 from the eyebolts 4 and eyes in the shafts. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which rigid arms 20 engage the projections 16 with a wedge action when moved longitudinally by a lever. Hooks 2 are provided which are attached to carrying-straps on the back of the horse. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 28,678/12.
