Abstract: 21,749. Redpath, W. Oct. 2. Actuating pumps. -The force pump of a liquid brake for railway &c. vehicles is mounted in the chamber containing the liquid to be forced into the ram cylinders for operating the brakes, and a by-pass, provided with a release valve, connects the delivery pipe with the liquid chamber. The pump piston 3, Fig. 9, is driven from a handoperated shaft a by a crank or eccentric sheave 4, and the liquid is drawn from the chamber c through a valve 7 and forced into the pipe d leading to the ram cylinders through a valve 8. The pipe d and the chamber c are connected by a by-pass pipe h, Fig. 11, containing a release valve i. The plunger 11 of the valve i is provided with an aperture which is brought into line with the passage 14 when the plunger is moved inwards by levers o operated by the official on the train, to release the brakes, by means of a lever m, Fig. 5. The eccentric shaft a is operated by bevel gear k, Fig. 5, and the ram f may be connected directly to the brake blocks or may be in combination with the continuous power-operated brakes. In the latter case the ramf is connected by slotted links p to a pin t on the usual power-cylinder lever l, so that the brakes may be operated independently of each other.

Inventor: WUNDERLICH ADOLPH
IPC: F21V21/38
Filed: 1907-11-15
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 25,398. Wunderlich, A., and Hughes, G. A. Nov. 15. Hoists. - Relates to a device for raising and lowering arc lamps suspended in frames on standards the axes of which coincide with those of the lamps. Two arms b, c are fixed to the top of the standard perpendicular to the plane of the frame a in which the lamp is suspended. The hoisting-rope f passes over a pulley in the head d and around a pulley in the hook h, and is secured to one end of the radius rod g, which is hinged to the end of the arm b. The rope is carried over the end of the arm c, and down through the centre of the standard to a suitable winch. When the rope is slackened, the lamp swings at the end of the radius rod away out of the plane of the frame a and is then lowered. The end of the radius rod is enlarged so as to engage with the framing of the hook h so that, in hoisting, when the rod becomes horizontal, the lamp is drawn up into its place, where it may be retained automatically. Movable or fixed contacts of the kind described in Specifications No. 10,728, A.D. 1905, and No. 14,041, A.D. 1906, may be used.

Granted: 1909-08-12
Abstract: 17,213. Robeson, A. M. Aug. 15. Impact pulverizers; mills and apparatus.-Rock, ores, &c. are ground or crushed in a chamber a by a strong jet of water, which is passed in an upward direction through the material so as to keep it in a state of agitation and throw it against an anvil or target g at the top of the chamber. The chamber is lined with plain or corrugated blocks b, and its bottom may be hemispherical, flat, or conical with a central shaft up which the lumps are shot by the jet against the anvil. The jet of water is fed by a centrifugal pump f connected by tapered pipe f<1> to the nozzle e. The fine particles are carried through a screen d at the top of the chamber into one or more settling-tanks h, which overflow into an annular launder l communicating by a pipe m with the pump f. A solvent for dissolving the metal to be recovered may be added to the water. When treating gold ores, plates coated with quicksilver are placed in the crushing-chamber, or are arranged between the grinding-chamber and the settling-tank in the form of stationary or shaking tables or as baths through which the pulp is passed. Several grinding chambers each with one or more jets may be used.

Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 28,378. Eisenstein, S. Dec. 29. Drawings to Specification. Wireless telegraphy and telephony.-In a system of duplex wireless telegraphy and telephony, using waves of different frequency, each of the communicating stations comprises two separate antennµ of different height arranged at a distance from each other, of which the higher antenna is used for transmitting and the lower for receiving. A wire or other connexion is provided between the two antennµat the same station, by which the attendant at the receiving-instrument can control the key of the transmitting-instrument, so that he is able to transmit and receive simultaneously. The use of the shorter antenna for receiving lessens the interference from atmospheric influences. The system may be multiplexed by arranging the antennµ to emit or receive waves of several frequencies simultaneously. In the case of wireless telephony, a microphone at the receiving-instrument is connected with a Duddell circuit at the transmitting- instrument, so that tha voice-currents vary the emitted waves in the known manner.

Abstract: 353. Reason, H. F., and Reason Manufacturing Co. Jan. 6. Make-and-break switches, mechanical; clock-work actuation.-In a make-and-break switch operated at predetermined times, having compound adjustable setting-disks and a spring-actuated release, the disks are provided with slotted flanges mounted concentrically and adapted to determine the time of operation of the switch. The arbor of the clock is provided with a dial and two concentric flanged disks 8, 9, having slots 12 and pointers 8<a>, 9<a> which can be moved oppcsite any given hour on the dial. A releasing lever 20, pivoted at 21, carries at one end a pin 23 adapted to engage the flanges, and at the other end has a bracket 24 which is engaged by pins 36, 37 on a crank-plate 34 adapted to be driven by a coiled spring capable of hand winding. The spindle 31, on which the spring and crankplate are mounted, is provided with the usual check ratchet-wheel 32 and spring pawl 33, the latter being mounted on the plate 34. The crankplate carries a connecting-rod 38 operating the switch C, which is preferably provided with carbon contacts 39, vertical guide-rods 40, and a bow spring contact 41. In using the apparatus the clock is first set to standard time as indicated by a fixed pointer 44, the dial being rotated by means of a hand 5. The flanged disks are then set to the required positions. One of the pins 36 on the crank-plate 34 presses on the bracket at the end of the releasing-lever and causes the pin 23 to engage one of the flanges. When the pin reaches one of the slots 12, it passes through and releases the crank-plate, which makes half a revolution, thereby operating the switch and bringing the other pin 37 into engagement with the bracket 24 and causing the pin 23 to bear on the other flange. The slot in the inner flange is provided with a guard or catch point which allows the pin to enter when it is already in engagement with the flange, but prevents it from passing through in the event of the two slots becoming coincident.
