Granted: 1915-05-18
Abstract: 12,252. Schneider, E. May 18. Mines, marine.-Relates to safety-devices for submarine mines in which firing is effected upon impact by means of a spring-actuated striker previously cocked, and in which relative movement takes place between the cocked striker and primer when the anchor cable becomes taut or slack to bring the primer respectively within reach of, and out of reach of, the striker when released. According to the present invention, means are provided whereby the primer carrier is movable independently of the striker when the anchor cable becomes taut or slack, the striker remaining stationary within the mine. A locking-device may also be provided to prevent any movement of the striker, the device being released by the movement of the primer or its support. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the primer charge B has two primers b, b<1> and slides in a tube a forming an inner sleeve to the casing containing the explosive A. The support for the charge B is pivoted at b<2>, b<3> to two levers c<2>, c<3> which are pivoted at c, c<1> to the body C of the mine, and are also pivoted at c<4>, c<5> to a member d mounted on a rod D carrying the shackle E for the anchor cable F. A spring d<2> normally presses the ii-teiiiber d away from the fixed part d<3>. When the anchor cable F is taut, the spring d<2> is compressed and the primer charge B is lifted so as to be within reach of the firing-pins h<1>, h<2>. The locking-device comprises two bell-crank levers g<1>, g<2> pivoted at g<3>, g<4> to a part g fixed to the spindle G upon which the striker H slides. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the anchor cable is slack and the levers g<1>, g<2> prevent the descent of the striker. A pull on the anchor cable raises the primer charge B and causes pins b<4>, b<5> to engage the arms g<1>, g<2> of the bellcrank levers which are thus moved out of the path of the striker.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Fire Extinguishing Apparatus.
Inventor: BRODTON EDWARD ROBERT
IPC: A62C35/02
Filed: 1914-07-08
Granted: 1915-07-08
Abstract: 16,283. Brodton, E. R. July 16, 1913, [Convention date]. Sprinklers, automatic ; fire-engines; chemicals. -Relates to automatic sprinkler systems of the type in which gas is generated or released to force out fire - extinguishing liquid from the sprinklers when the normal pressure in the sprinkler pipes falls owing to the opening of one or more sprinkler heads, and consists chiefly in an arrangement whereby the extinguishing - liquid, which may consist of a non- corrosive substance, such as pyrene, is not mixed with the gasgenerating materials or pressure medium, and the sprinkler pipes are normally filled with the extinguishing-liquid. A pyrene tank b, Fig. 1, is connected by a pipe c to the sprinkler pipes 20, in which a pressure is maintained by means of an air-dome s, in which air is compressed when the tank b and sprinkler pipes are charged through a filling-pipe p. When the pressure in the piping falls, a diaphragm or a spring-pressed piston 25<1>, Fig. 2, in a cylinder e<1> connected to a branch-pipe c‹ releases levers 27<1>, 30<1>, a hook 31<1>, and a weighted lever g, 33', which then opens a valve k, thus allowing acid to flow from a chamber d to a pressure tank a containing soda solution. The flow of acid is facilitated by some of the soda solution being forced through a pipe i into the top of the chamber d, thus generating pressure therein. The gas generated in the tank a passes through pipes a<1>, c<7>, 40 into the top of the tank b to drive out the pyrene into the sprinkler pipes. In order to prevent the contents of the tank a from reaching the objects in the burning room on exhaustion of the pyrene tank b, when these objects are likely to be injured by the gasgenerating chemicals, a valve in an extension o<10>, Fig. 1, on the tank b may be arranged to be closed by a float when a predetermined low level of the pyrene is reached. The contents of the tank a may, however, be passed to the sprinklers through a pipe z<1>, Fig. 2, by turning a threeway valve a<2> to the position shown. After the complete exhaustion of the pyrene and the gas pressure, water may be admitted to the tank a and the sprinkler pipes through a valve w<2>, Fig. 1, which is opened by a weighted lever w<3>, adapted to be released by means of levers w<5> and a spring-urged pressure piston in a cylinder w<6>, communicating with the pipe c<6>. Instead of generating the gas pressure in the tank a chemically, air may be compressed therein'by the admission of water through the valve w<2>. Electric and mechanical pressure - operated alarms are provided. The apparatus may be mounted on a motor-vehicle, the operation being started by the opening of a valve by hand.

Abstract: 10,361. Janney, R. Feb. 18, [Convention date]. Boat-raising g e a r.- Variable-speed gearing is controlled automatically in such a way that as the load increases, the speed transmitted diminishes. In the application to a boat hoist, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, as the load 13 increases, a stop 23 is displaced to the right so that the maximum displacement of a pin 20 upon a wheel 19 is limited. The speed is varied by turning a spindle 7 carrying a pinion 18 meshing with a wheel 19, and it follows that increase in the load limits the turning of the spindle 7 and therefore the speed attained by a spindle 6 driven from a motor 5 by variable-speed gearing 2, which may be the hydraulic device described in Specification 13,894/07. A cord 11<1> running from the load 13 to a drum 12 driven from the shaft 6 passes over a pulley 11 carried by a lever 8 pivoted at 9. The stop 23 is connected by a rod 22 to the lever 8. A spring 17 normally holds the lever 8 against a fixed stop 10.

Abstract: The invention of The Master Plate and Slave Plate I.C. Engine contributes in a better way for higher mechanical leverage and performance of I.C. Engine with least modification to the conventional engines by Master and slave Plates arrangements. This resolves many of the efficiency hurdles in the conventional engine. When peak pressure is developed in the cylinder, at that time the Crankshaft is in such a better crank position where it gives a better rotary force to the Crankshaft without losing the compression. The compression is maintained by the Master Plate and higher torque is given by the Slave Plate; The Master Plate and Slave Plate have got a displacement between each other. The displacement between Master Plate and Slave Plate is achieved by creating Offset between each other, to give higher torque.
