Title: Improvements in Shock Absorbers for Vehicles.
Inventor: PAUILHAC JEAN JACQUES GEORGES
IPC: B60G11/04
Filed: 1912-06-27
Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 15,062. Pauilhac, J. J. G. July 7, 1911, [Convention date]. Composite springs; connexions and attachments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.-Relates to shock-absorbers for vehicles, of the type in which a spring, which is less sensitive than the usual laminated spring, is inserted between the ends of the laminated spring and the spring or dumb-iron on the vehicle frame, so as to take the light shocks, heavy shocks being taken by the laminated spring alone. The invention consists in employing a V-shaped spring 4, 5 alone, as shown in Fig. 1, or in combination with a helical spring 10, as shown in Fig. 2, the helical spring being still less sensitive than the V-shaped spring. The V-shaped spring, Fig. 2, has one arm 5 connected with the frame spring 6 by a pin 9, and the other with a shackle 7, and the apex is connected by a yoke 11 with the helical spring 10 bearing upon the laminated spring 1. The shackle 7 is slotted at 8 to permit motion of the pin 9 and to allow the shackle to come into operation in case of breakage.

Title: Improvements in Casting Machines, particularly adapted to Produce Sash Weights and the like.
Inventor: LISTER CHARLES HENRY
Filed: 1912-07-22
Granted: 1913-06-05
Abstract: 17,039. Lister, C. H. July 22. Casting-machines; metal-pouring; castings; moulds.-An endless-chain moving-mould machine for casting sash weights &c. has a special arrangement of details. The chain is driven at 15, Fig. 1, and supported by guide-rails 19, 20. The mould carriers 21 carry lugs 40, Fig. 5. which engage an arm 38 pivoted to the frame and slotted to engage a pin on a ladle carriage 32 to traverse it with the moulds during tipping by a hand-lever 37 to effect pouring. The ladle is traversable in the carriage by crank and pinion 36. A spring 39 returns the carriage to contact with a stop 41 after the lug passes from engagement with the arm. To maintain the ladle stationary during refilling, as from a furnace 42, the stop 41 is adjustable to permit the spring to move the carriage so that the arm is out of the path of the lugs. After filling, the moulds are carried through a cooling-tank 29, and an inclined rail 27 engages a roller on a bell-crank 23 to open the mould. The lugs 40 then engage a bellcrank 43 to eject the castings, and a second inclined rail 28 closes the moulds. The links 24 and setscrews 25 are so adjusted that the closing-mechanism is self - locking. The moulds retain sufficient heat to become dry before refilling. A modified form of mould to produce a number of castings is described.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Applying Lubricant to Railway Rails.
Inventor: JONES OSCAR WALTON
IPC: B61K3/02
Filed: 1913-05-15
Granted: 1914-05-15
Abstract: 11,363. Jones, O. W. May 15. Force-feed lubricators. - Railway rails are lubricated by apparatus carried by a vehicle and operated by compressed air obtained from the air-brake supply. The air, when admitted from a supply pipe 8 by a hand-operated valve 6, moves a lubricating - brush 25 against one or both rails, and simultaneously ejects lubricant from a tank on to the brush. A pipe 11 conducts the air to the upper side of a piston 3<1> in the tank 1, and oil is forced through a pipe 13 to the brush, which consists of layers of felt &c. 26 suspended in contact with a nozzle 25', and adjusted by means of a movable plate 28<1>. A branch pipe 10 conducts the air to a cylinder 32 containing a spring - pressed piston coupled to a lever 28, which moves the brush into position against the rail, the pipe 13<2> being flexible to allow this movement. Branch pipes 12<a>, 13<a>, fitted with simultaneously-operated cocks 12<b>, conduct air and oil to similar apparatus for lubricating the other rail. A bracket 16 supporting the pipe 13 and lever 28 is fixed to a beam 20 of the vehicle frame by bolts 19, and is adjusted by a wedge 22. The tank 1 may be connected to a larger source of supply, from which oil can be sucked in by raising the piston 3<1> by means of a lever 4.

In another construction, a guide-roller F, rotating with the driving- pinion K<8>, is positioned with regard to the axis of the horn diametrically opposite to the usual eccentric inlet of the thread passage in the whirl. In a third form, the eccentricity of the roller is reduced by slightly inclining the thread-passage K', Fig. 2, in the whirl and so reducing the eccentricity of its inlet. The whirl is supported by end and peripheral bearing-surfaces, and the gear teeth K<2> are cut within these surfaces as shown in Fig. 2.

Title: Device for Discovering Fractures in Wire Cables.

Granted: 1915-07-01
Abstract: 25,701. Wahn, R. Nov. 11, 1912, [Convention date]. Inequalities, detecting.-In means for detecting fractures in wire cables, of the type in which a member encloses and projects between the strands of the cable and engages the broken portion of a strand when the member and cable are moved relatively to one another, the member is numbered to correspond with the strands, so that the particular strand in which a fracture occurs, and the number of such fractures in any single strand, can be readily ascertained. Figs. 1 and 2 show a frame s which has a numbered central opening shaped to fit the cable and is made in two parts secured together by plates k. The frame s is revoluble on a casing h upon a ball bearing j, and the casing h has internal spring-mounted shells l for resiliently engaging the cable, along which the casing is moved by means of a handle inserted in a socket d. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the frame consists of separate sections equal in number to the strands of the cable, each section being numbered and carried by a spring-controlled pin i. If a section encounters a fracture in the cable, it is lifted and so causes its pin i to punch a hole in a recording-strip p of paper, the winding-on roller of which is driven by the rotation of the frame upon the cable. A similar recording-device is provided for each pin i. A twopart sheet-metal drum t serves as a protector for the recording-devices. Instead of perforating-pins i, marking-pencils may be employed. The casing h may be moved along the cable ; or it may remain stationary, in which case the cable is drawn through it.

The fittings are anchored by webs 12<e>, 12<f>, Fig. 3, and have vertical edges 12<g> acting as bearings against the edges of the plates. Chambers 12<a> in the fittings engage stud-rollers 13 to limit radial movement and prevent creeping of the tread, which has a substantial body of rubber outside shoulders 4<c> to act as a cushion when these shoulders abut against the side plates. The inner part of the tread, strengthened by parts 12<b> of the fittings, abuts against shoulders 20 on the plates. Rollers 22. Fig. 12, carried in boxes embedded in the tread, bear against the side plates. Air tubes and chambers.-The inextensible air-tube 5 is made of rubbered canvas and has a flat base 5<a> formed with rounded projections 23 connected by a rib. The projections fit in registering recesses in the flanges 21a of the side plates, and one of them is formed in the manufacture of the tube as an elongated tube, Fig. 9, in which the metal inflating-tube 29 is held by friction so that rubber is not clamped between metal valve parts. The outer part of the tube is made of canvas with no surface rubber and engages a concave leather band 30, Fig. 2, or paraffin-treated wooden blocks, secured to the base of the tread member. Tyre attachments to rims.-One side plate 3, Figs. 2 and 7, has apertures fitting over theheads 7<b> of bolts 7 screwing into sockets 6 fixed in the felloe. A flange 7<a> at the back of the head acts so as to force the plate away from the felloe when the head is turned by a key.
