Title: A Mechanical Railroad Signal for use in Foggy or any Weather.
Inventor: PERRY ALBERT EDWARD
IPC: B61L3/04
Filed: 1912-01-17
Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 25,002. Perry, A. E., and Randall, C. Jan. 17, 1912. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains.-Pivoted counterweighted bell - crank levers A<Z> mounted in sets of one, two, or three, in a frame provided with buffers A<P> and struts A<Y> to resist the blow of impact, are placed on the track outside the rails to cooperate with a bell - crank on the locomotive which actuates a mechanical bell once or more according to the class of signal passed at danger. The home and advance signal contacts are coupled to a starting-signal bell C. The bell-crank levers on the track are mounted in a weatherproof casing having a slot in the top through which the bell-cranks pass and present to the passing train a head as shown in Fig. 8. The side of the head nearer the track rail is higher than the other side in order to compensate for oscillation of the locomotive.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Valve Gears for Reversing Engines such as Rolling Mill Engines.
Inventor: MOEBUS KURT
IPC: F01B25/00
Filed: 1912-02-08
Granted: 1912-09-19
Abstract: 3239. M÷bus, K. April 5, 1911, [Convention date]. Hand, foot, and like gear; starting-engines.- In rolling-mill engines wherein one lever is used for controlling the throttle valve and the valvegear, a cam K is interposed between the lever H and the link F. When the throttle valve E is slightly open, the link is moved over to such an extent that the engine will start in a reliable manner. During further movement of the lever H, the valve E is quickly opened but the cut-off is reduced. When the valve E is fully opened, further movement of the lever H increases the cut-off. In compound engines, the low-pressure valve-gear is operated by the lever H. In the case of large engines, the link is operated by a reversing-engine.

Title: Automatic Apparatus for Operating Electric Starting Switches and the like.
Inventor: CLATWORTHY WALTER ANGOVE
IPC: H02P1/06
Filed: 1912-03-16
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 6599. Clatworthy, W. A. March 16. Controllers, actuating-mechanism for; controllers with underload release. - A self - contained automatic starter for motors comprises an arm e carrying a weight f and pivoted at b concentrically with a sector d and a quadrant c carrying a cam r. The mechanism is contained in a casing j and is fixed near the starter o, the arm n of which is connected through a flexible member m and spring p to an extension l of the sector d. In use, the cord i is pulled and depresses the arm e until a spring detent g on the arm engages in a notch k in the sector. The weight f then descends against the dash-pot h, and rotates the sector until the arm n of the starter has been magnetically clutched by the no-volt coil y. Further rotation stresses the spring until the cam r trips the detent and leaves the sector free to be pulled back to starting position as the spring recoils. The quadrant c, when pulled against its spring v by the arm t and cord u, allows the switch x to short-circuit the no-volt coil y, and also provides for an earlier tripping of the detent g so that, if necessary, the arm can be returned to zero before it has been moved to the ' full on ' position.

Abstract: 7170. Brewer, R. W. A. March 23. [Cognate Application, 13,445/12.] Spray carburettors; vaporizers, external.- Petrol is used at starting, and a heavier fuel for normal running. The heavy fuel is admitted past a tapered square needle valve B, Fig. 5, to a passage B<1>, to which air is admitted through an orifice A<1> controlled by an adjustable flattened screw. The needle is lifted by a suction - actuated air - valve a in an adjustable seating T. The mixture formed passes through an exhaust-jacketed coil wherein it is gasified, and then enters a mixing-valve D, Fig. 1, through a port O. This mixing-valve also has an air port P and a mixture outlet port Q. In a modification, the air port is shown of triangular shape, and a screw-adjusted piston sliding within the valve controls simultaneously the air and mixture ports. The control plug of the petrol carburettor E, Fig. 1, is connected to the mixing-valve D. A three-way cock G, Fig. 1, may connect either the petrol or heavyfuel carburettor to the engine, at the same time rotating a cock H to bring the corresponding fuel into use. The cocks H, G may be integral.

Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 17,433. Nobel's Explosives Co., and Hodge, H. D. July 26. Separating and sorting gauges. - Consists in a machine for sorting wads or disks according to their thickness and compressibility, in which the wads are subjected to the pressure of spring stamps which are then gradually lifted while lateral spring slides tend to eject the wad from under the stamp. The wads are placed on a rotating table 33 and are thus gradually led into and along a guide-way 34 towards an oscillating bell-crank 37, which inserts one wad at a time under a stamp 10 on a rotating table 7, while a spring ejector 18 is put out of action by a fixed cam 20 and the stamp is raised by a lever 14 carried by the table 7 and controlled by a fixed cam 17, a development of which is shown in Fig. 4, While the table 7 rotates from a to b, see Fig. 4, the stamp and the ejector are still kept out of action ; from b to c the cam 17 allows the stamp to come down and compress the wad ; from c to e the cam 20 releases the ejector ; from e to f the cam 17 gradually lifts the stamp 10 and the wad is ejected at a certain stage, according to its thickness or compressibility, into one or other of a number of shoots 21 disposed around the table ; from f to a the stamp again remains out of action, and, similarly, from g to a the ejector is again put out of action. A gauge-bar 35, Fig. 1, is placed over the table 33 at the entrance of the guideway 34, and the table is slightly dished at one part so that a disk sticking in the gauge falls slightly as this part passes beneath it and so passes into the guideway.

The rotary bars are formed of disks 10, Figs. 1, 2, and 5, which are mounted on rods 13 the screwed ends of which are provided with nuts for securing the disks together. The disks are provided with interlocking lugs 11, 12 and lugs 16 for equally spacing the pivoted segments 15 between the disks. The segments 15 are pivoted on the rods 13, and when on the top of the bars are closed, and when at the bottom drop open, as shown in Fig. 1, to permit the discharge of ashes. The end disks 17 are provided with journals which are supported on rollers 8 mounted on the side frames 3.

The arms 21 are of gradually increasing length from front to rear and are secured together by a rod 23 and operated in unison by a rod 24 and lever 25. Means are provided for adjusting the length of each arm. The non-rotatable bars 26 between each pair of rotary bars are adapted to feed the fuel from a high point on one roller to a lower point on the adjacent roller, and comprise trunnions 27, Fig. 3, supported in the side frames and upwardly projecting arms having slots for receiving the lugs of the bars 35. The bars 35 are mounted so that they have a slight amount of play on their supports, which permits the bars to adjust themselves to the periphery of the rotary bars. The bars 26 are provided with depending arms 28 connected to or engaging with a bar 30 operated by the handle 32 when it is desired to move the bars 26 on their journals. After leaving the last rotary bar, the fuel passes into a pocket formed between bars 38 mounted on rods 40 and the bridge wall 2.

The inclination of the bars 38 may be adjusted by means of a bar 53<a>, Fig. 1, secured to one of the bolts 40 so as to control the discharge of ashes. Beneath the pocket a tilting grate 45 is arranged, operated by links from the rear arm 21. Above the tilting grate, a recess 50 is formed in the bridge wall and contains a plate 51 having depending teeth 52.
