Abstract: 15,933. Lake, H. W., [Parker Transmission and Appliance Co.]. July 8. Dash-pots.-Relates to dash-pots particularly applicable to retarding the engaging action of clutches for motor - vehicles, and consists in providing a piston which is actuated by means of a rock-arm journaled on a shaft extending across a recess in the cylinder wall, and which is provided with a spring- pressed valve, the cylinder being formed with two by - passes, one of which is closed by the piston at an intermediate part of its stroke. Figs. 3 and 4 show in section the piston 3 operated by a lever 22 attached to a rock-shaft 21 mounted, in a recess 4 in the side of the wall of the cylinder 2. The piston is provided with a spring-controlled valve 16, which opens and gives a free upward movement to the piston corresponding to the disengagement of the clutch. During the downward movement of the piston the valve 16 closes, and liquid can then pass from one side of the piston to the other through a by-pass 5, Fig. 4, controlled by a screw valve 7 and through an additional by-pass 12, Fig. 3, the by-pass 12 being, however, closed by the piston towards the end of its downward movement to check further the engaging action of the clutch. The position of the piston in the cylinder is indicated by a pointer 36 and scale 37. Fig. 1 shows a system of levers 25, 26, 27 operated by a treadle 24 for operating the clutch from a shaft 28, which is connected to the dash-pot by links 29, 30, 31. The lever 27 is connected with a lever 33 mounted on the shaft 28 and attached by links 34, 38 to an arm 40 provided with ribs 41 engaging with a pin 42 on an arm 43 attached to the clutchshifter so as to lock the arm in its extreme positions. The pin 42 is situated between the ribs 41 when the clutch is in the neutral position.

Abstract: 25,575. Spriggs, N. I. Nov. 7. [Addition to 25,763/11.] Vulcanizers. - In apparatus for repairing rubber goods, the electric heater described in the parent Specification is replaced by a heater of non-electric type, such as a steam-circulation apparatus or a boiler 18 heated by a gas burner 19. The pivotally-supported pressure fingers or trees referred to in the parent Specification are so arranged as to be pressed uniformly with an adjustable pressure upon the surface of the heater. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the fingers 4 are pressed down by bars 10 placed at rightangles and having springs 24 or other resilient devices contacting with the fingers or trees to ensure equality of pressure in successive operations. The screwed rods 12, through which pressure is obtained, are fitted with adjustable stop-nuts 23, so as to determine the limits of pressure applied. Other means, such as fluidpressure apparatus, may be used for forcing the bars 10 against the stops 23.

Abstract: 26,880. Coker, E. G., and Withycombe, F. H. Nov. 22. Annular arrangement of plates or wires fixed at outside edge and loaded at centre.-Consists in employing thin disks, other than corrugated, plates, wires, or the like, to connect two or more parts in such a manner as to allow relative movement of the parts in any one direction. The connecting-parts may be flat or dished, and perforated according to requirements. Fig. 1 shows the application to a testing-machine in which the load is applied to a bar B which is connected to the frame A by a series of disks C arranged along a considerable length of the bar so that the only appreciable movement that can be given to the bar B is that along its own axis, the disks being stretched to a point below their elastic limit; this limit may have been previously raised by overstressing. The load applied to the bar B may be measured by a system of levers or other device applied at the point D. Fig. 2 shows a differential pressure gauge in which the end disks C are of greater area than the end disks C<1>, intermediate perforated disks D, D', &c. being added if required. Fluid is introduced through a pipe P and the pressure is deduced from the load required at E to keep the pointer G at a zero position. Fig. 3 shows a cone clutch in which the cone B is connected to its shaft by a series of disks &c. C, which normally retain the parts in the disengaged position.

Abstract: 29,531. Gray, J. G. Dec. 23. [Cognate Application, 1373/13.] Gyroscopic apparatus. - Relates to the gyroscopic stabilizing and steering of a body adapted to be propelled by reaction through a fluid medium, and consists in so constructing the body that it comprises a gyrostat - carrying element A sleeve-jointed, universally-jointed, or similarly connected to an element B carrying the propelling-means with the result that precession of the gyrostat brings into action a couple derived directly or indirectly from the propelling-system, which couple accelerates the precession, and the body is completely stable when moving forward. A body constructed as above may be caused to run in a prearranged path, or may be controlled in its path by wireless transmission by taking advantage of the effect of applying a couple to the body tending to turn it about its own longitudinal axis as by positioning a weight to one side or the other of the fly-wheel.
