Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Automatically Stopping a Locomotive which has Passed a Danger Signal.
Inventor: SCHOOFS GASTON JEAN EMILE
IPC: B61L3/04
Filed: 1909-03-08
Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 5561. Schoofs, G. J. E. March 8. Track apparatus for stopping trains.-The brake valve and regulator are operated by the piston 7 of a cylinder 6, to which steam is admitted when a pivoted lever on the locomotive is rocked by engagement with a track obstacle, thereby energizing an electro-magnet 18 and opening the valve 17. Steam enters the cylinder 6 through a slide valve, which is moved by the plate 9 on the piston rod engaging stops 14, 15 on the slide-valve rod. By this means, after the piston has reached its end position, it is automatically replaced, and a projection 16 engages a jointed end piece on the handle of the valve 17 and closes it. The driver's valves are actuated by pins on the side of the plate 9 and are left free for re-starting the train after stoppage by the apparatus.

Abstract: 6155. Nolte, R. March 15. Rigid-jaw wrenches.-A wrench for use with conical-headed nuts comprises two members d, e, the former of which carries a rotatable member f on the end of a spindle g screwing through a sleeve k, and the latter having a part o serving as a countersupport. The square parts of the spindle g and spanner f are connected by a sleeve h provided with corresponding apertures to receive them and by a spring z located in annular grooves. The sleeve k is mounted so that it cannot rotate in the end of the member d, but it can be adjusted longitudinally by nuts m. In operation, the members f, o are clamped on the head and nut of the bolt connecting the work y, y by turning the cam n on the arm u as shown, and the nut c is loosened or tightened by rotating the screw g by means of a spanner applied at the head i, the pressure on the nut c remaining constant since the pitch of the threads on the screw g is the same as that of the screw bolt. The same wrench can be used for a nut of a different pitch by merely exchanging the parts k, g for others of a corresponding pitch. The member o can be slightly rotated by means of the pin p, but its motion is limited by suitable abutments on the arm e.

Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 17,012. Holmes, P. July 21. Drawings to Specification. Preserving food. - A process for sterilizing refrigerating or cold-storage chambers, or other interiors, together with the contents, consists in taking an agent such as sulphurous acid, a solution of bisulphite of lime, or other agent which on heating gives off sulphur-dioxide gas, or formalin, formaldehyde, or paraformaldehyde, generating heat by one or more electric convectors or resistances to produce a local heat to vaporize or volatilize the agent, and driving the gas into the chamber by the heat generated, either through a nozzle where the apparatus is within the chamber or by a pipe where the apparatus is outside, with or without mixing the gas with water vapour or moisture. When the apparatus is within the chamber, it is suspended through the openings used for inserting thermometers. The Provisional Specification states that the preferred electrical convector is that described in Specifications 17,196/02 or 12,214/04, [both in Class 39, Electric lamps &c.].

Filed: 1909-11-23
Abstract: 27,290. Fahr, J. G., [Firm of]. April 14, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Mowing-machines.-Relates to mechanism for raising the cutter-bar by power derived from the main axle of the machine. The cutter - bar is raised by usual means from the lifting-lever 1, Fig. 1, which is connected by a chain 4 to a winding-drum on a shaft 6, which can be geared by the wheels 9, 10, Figs. 3 and 4, with the main axle 5. The shaft 6 is mounted at one end in a movable bearing 7, which allows the shaft 6 to swing so as to bring the wheel 9 on its other end into or out of engagement with the wheel 10 on the axle 5. The shaft 6 is raised to secure the engagement of the gearing by means of an arm 16 on the shaft 6 engaging with an arm 15 secured to a disk 25 mounted loosely on a pedal shaft 13 and having a projection 27 engaging a projection 26 fixed to the shaft 13. When the shaft 6 has been raised by the action of the arm 15, it is held in the raised position by a sliding bolt 20, which, under the action of a spring 19, Fig. 1, slides beneath the bearing 17 of the shaft 6. When the lifting-operation is completed, a projection 21 on the lifting- lever 1, by means of suitable links and levers, withdraws the bolt 20 from under the bearing 17, so that the shaft 6 is lowered under the action of a spring 18, and the wheels 9, 10 are disengaged: To secure the automatic disengagement of the clutch 26, 27 as soon as the shaft 6 is raised, and thus prevent breakage which might result from the pedal 12 being depressed too long, a disk 28 is mounted loosely on the shaft 13, and is provided with a cam - face engaging a corresponding cam-face on the disk 25, the action of the cams being such that the disk 25 is moved along the shaft 13 against the action of a spring 32 until the projection 27 is moved out of the path of the projection 26. The disk 28 is rotated by an arm 29 pivoted to the lifting-lever 1. The pedal 12 and shaft 13 are brought back to their initial position by the action of a spring 31. The cutter-bar is lowered by means of a hand-lever secured to the lever 1.

Abstract: 29,567. Barson, G., and Cammell, Laird, & Co. Dec. 17. Buffers. - The plunger is retained against withdrawal by means of an enlarged head B<1> on the spindle B, which acts in conjunction with a divided washer A in the base-plate C. The plunger is preferably squared. The washer A has a flange at the rear and two projections A<3> in front. In order to secure it, the baseplate is made in two parts C, D, which have recesses C<2>, D<1> made to fit the projections A'. In assembling the parts, the recesses C<2>, D<1> are made to register, and the washer is inserted. The plate D is then turned upon the plate C, and secured from turning back either by bolts E or by projections on the interior of the buffer casing. In the latter case, one or both of the plates are made to fit inside the casing.

In the modifications shown in Figs. 4, 6, and 7, the tie 11 engages in notches 10, 10<a> formed in the edge of the dropper and passes either round the front or back of the dropper. Where wooden droppers are employed, metal plates 15, notched at 10, 10<a>, Figs. 9 and 10, are secured to the dropper and a groove 14 is formed in the opposite side, in which the fence wire engages. Appliances for fixing fencing. - The device for forming the kinks in the wires consists of T-iron uprights 16, Figs. 11 and 14, pointed at their lower ends and secured together by two bars 17, 17<a>, the upper one of which is adapted to be disengaged as shown in dotted lines. Sliding between the uprights is a casting 18 slotted at 21 to carry two levers 19, 20 connected by a link 22, the lever 20 being provided with a nose-piece 23 formed to engage and kink the fence wire. A second casting 24<a>, Fig. 18, grooved at 25 to engage the uprights, carries a spring - retracted hook 26 adapted to engage the top fence wire and hold the device in position.

Abstract: 10,740. Hutchinson, S. May 2. Finders.-A range-finder consists of a quadrant tangent scale f and a pointer h, each adapted to swing from the same centre and adapted to be separately secured by clamps g, i. This rangefinder is used in conjunction with a mirror a, the same size as the plate, arranged at an angle of 45 degrees with the lens axis and provided with a small hole b, and with a position-finder consisting of a pointer d moving over a scale e corresponding with focal lengths. The position finder is put in any suitable position, such as that shown dotted, and brought into line with the centre of the object as viewed through the hole b. The loosened quadrant scale f is then cramped. The camera is next placed on the ground and tilted until the same point on the object is again brought into line with the pointer d and the hole b as viewed by reflection. The loosened pointer h is then clamped and the tangent scale reading taken, which, multiplied by the height the camera was held above the ground, gives the distance of the object. The lens is then focused and the adjustable pointer d set to correspond with that focus, and the reflections of the centre of the object and the pointer d are brought into register on a mark c on the mirror a, which has been previously determined by multiplying the length of the mirror by the size of the angle it makes with the axis of the lens.
