Abstract: 25,345. O'Donnell, J. P., and British Pneumatic Railway Signal Co. Feb. 4. Visual outdoor signals; slots, reversers, and like apparatus.-In an electrically actuated and controlled semaphore-operating apparatus, a driven wheel is clutched to a disk on the semaphore spindle by a sliding pawl actuated by an electro-magnet. A quick-break rocking switch is used in the power circuit. An apparatus as arranged at the top of a post is shown on the drawings, but similar apparatus may be used in other positions. An electric motor 64 drives a wheel 176 by a suitable gearing. The wheel 176 is held against backward rotation by a pivoted pawl 185 and carries pins 177, which are engaged by the sliding pawl 174 when the lever 172 is held in the position shown by the slot magnet 65, which may have two separately wound coils, one for actuating, the other for holding, its armature; the magnet and pawl are carried on a plate 169 fast on the spindle of the semaphore arm 121. The motor circuit is broken at a quick-break switch, linked to the plate 169 by a rod 178, when the signal is set to 'clear,' in which position it is held until the magnet 65 is de-energized and the pawl 174 withdrawn from the pin 177 with which it engaged. A dash-pot 188 is provided to reduce shock when the arm returns to danger by gravity. The quick-break switch is shown in detail in Fig. 2. The contacts 191 which connect the springs 179 are fast with the tappet 180, one arm of which is pivoted to a rod 195 passing through a swivel piece 196 and acted upon by a compressed spring 181, the other arm being in the line of movement of adjustable stops 198, 199 on an arm 194 loose on the spindle 193, which is connected by the rod 178 to the plate 169 on the semaphore spindle. The normal closed position of the switch is shown in Fig. 2, in which the pin 197 is above the line joining the spindle 193 and the centre of the swivel 196. When the signal is set at clear,' the stop 199 moves the tappet 180, and the spring 181 completes the movement of the tappet and contact-maker 191 to open the switch rapidly. Similar action takes place on the return stroke.

Bag filters.-Apparatus for expressing liquids from solids comprises cooperating pressing-members pivotally connected to form a V - shaped chamber adapted to ascend and descend and to open and close respectively during such movement, the material being pressed during the descent by the lateral movement of the pressing-members towards each other. One form of apparatus is shown in Fig. 1. Press-plates 9, 11 are pivoted at their ends to pairs of arms 5, 7, which are connected together at a pivot 8 and joined at their upper ends to links 2, 3 pivoted in the framework 1. An outer filter-cloth of fine mesh and an inner one of coarse mesh form a double bag, the upper edges of the cloths being hooked over the tops of the plates. Hooks 17 on one of the plates engage with pins on the other, and the plates are thus latched together to form the V-shaped chamber. The press - chamber is initially supported and kept open by means of hydraulic rams 20 arranged at either end, but it descends and closes, with increasing pressure, under gravity, the plates being preferably formed as heavy solid-iron castings. The upper edges of the press-plates may be provided with sealing- means such as strips 37, 38, Fig. 5, which may be of rubber and steel respectively, or both of rubber. The opening at the bottom of the press-plates may be closed by sealing-plates 39, which are pivoted to the press-plates and may be latched together. The fine outer cloth need not be in bag form, but may simply be placed against the press-plates as shown. The chamber may be opened at the top for filling, or a pipe 41<a> may be provided for this purpose. The working faces of the press-plates may be provided with draining-grooves or perforated false faces spaced away from the plates.

Title: Improvements in Dust Guards for Carpet Sweepers.
Inventor: BARKER GEORGE
IPC: A47L11/33
Filed: 1912-10-29
Granted: 1913-03-06
Abstract: 24,742. Barker, G., [Bissell Carpet Sweeper Co.]. Oct. 29. Carpet-sweepers.-The escape of dust from the casings of carpet-sweepers, at the points where the shafts of the running wheels project therethrough, is prevented by threading disks 6 upon the shafts and forcing them against the interior walls of the casing by spiral springs 3 surrounding the shafts. The parts of the disks stamped out to form the central hole are turned back to form projections 7 which keep the ends of the springs clear of the shafts. The springs are prevented from rotating with the shafts by the action of the projections 7 and the friction between the disks and the casing, thus preventing string, hair, and the like from being wound on the rotary shafts.
