Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 1802. Haddan, H. J., [Bergmann Elektricitats Werke Akt.-Ges.]. Jan. 25. Driving. - The actuating-mechanism of a talking-machine is made compact and with a high velocity-ratio, and consists of connecting the motor with the driven shaft by means of two planet-wheel systems, both of which are in engagement with an internally-toothed dustproof casing. When the motor is released, its spring b rotates a drum a which carries two gear-wheels d in engagement with the toothed casing k, which is fixed to the casing of the instrument, thus rotating the gear-wheels d. The wheels d rotate a pinion e, carrying a plate f and two other gear-wheels g, also in engagement with the toothed casing k. The gear-wheels g are thus rotated, and they rotate a pinion h fixed to the shaft i. A bevel-wheel c is connected with the winding-mechanism. More or less than two pairs of planet-wheels may be used.

Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 21,375. Genteur, D. A. Sept. 18. Carburetting; materials for purifying.-In a carburetting-apparatus, of the kind in which hydrocarbon is continuously pumped from the bottom of the carburettor and delivered on to porous material in the upper part, the lower part 4 of the gas-holder 5 moves in an annular seal 2 within a square hydrocarbon tank 1, and contains the carburettor. This consists of two sets of concentric cylinders 14, 15 carrying wicks, the cylinders of one set alternating with those of the other. The lower ends of the wicks dip into a shallow layer of hydrocarbon 16 maintained by means of a float 30. A pump 31. operated from the shaft 35 of the motor that drives the air-compressor, raises the hydrocarbon 16 to a perforated plate 17, from which it flows on to the wicks. Air is admitted through a nozzle 23 and valve 24, passes between the wicks, then through purifying and deodorizing material 25 such as lime, sulphate of iron, animal charcoal, &c., which may also contain hydrocarbon, and finally through a perforated cap 26 into the bell 5, which may carry weights 10. The carburettor may be heated, as by burners 46 supplied with some of the gas produced. The rise of the bell 5 causes a brake 36 to be applied to the motor that drives the air and hydrocarbon pumps. A spring motor such as is described in Specification 20,729/09 .may be used.

Abstract: 13,710. Robinson, J. P. June 8. Couplings, non-automatic, of the type in which the outer link of the coupling-chain is raised into coupling position by the operation from a rotary transverse shaft of a pair of pivotally connected rods, the outer rod being attached to the outer coupling-link, and guiding-devices being provided to control the angle between the two rods during the operation. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, a lever h pivoted at the junction of the rods d, e carries at its forward end a projection i arranged to bear against the underside of the rod c, and at its rear end is provided with a roller adapted to coact with a curved guide k carried by an arm m fixed to the bracket b in which the operating-shaft a is mounted. In the coupling operation, the roller j bears against the underside of the guide k until the coupling-link g is above the hook o, when the roller j, having reached the end of the guide, is free to rise and the link g is free to fall into coupling position. In another arrangement, Fig. 2, an arm p fixed to the rod e coacts with a guide-member q pivoted to the bracket b. The points of pivoting of the rod d and of the member q are so disposed that, in the coupling operation, the free end of the member q slides along the arm p and overruns the end thereof when the link g is above the opposing hook. The member q may be in two parts pivoted together to facilitate the passage of its free end over the end of the arm p in the uncoupling operation. The rod d is bent as shown, or is formed with a cam portion to control the movements of the member q. The bracket b is pivoted at c to permit coupling on curves, and the ends of the shaft a are adjustable in guides r. The operating-handles n are pivoted on the shaft a, and are adjustable in guides s. Fox uncoupling when the vehicles are in buffer contact, there is provided across the end of each vehicle a rotary cranked shaft t, the cranked portion being disposed in front of the coupling- chain on the same vehicle. When the shaft t is operated, the cranked portion moves in the path indicated on the right of Fig. 1, and bears against the underside of the link g on the opposing vehicle to disengage the same from its hook. To prevent damage to the operating- mechanism in case of breakage of the coupling- chain, the pins f on the link g may be inclined rearwards or downwards so that they may readily slip out from the slots in the forked end of the rod e, or the pins f may be flattened to slip out from slots in the forked end.
