Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 29,186. Bange, C. de. Dec. 18. Axle - trucks and bogies. - The vehicle body is carried upon the axle-trucks by spherical bearing-surfaces which allow of a rolling movement in addition to the usual pivotal movement for radiation on curves. The tendency of the wheels to jump the track is thus minimized and an equal distribution of the load on the wheels is maintained in running. Arrangements for employing flangeless wheels are also described. Each axletruck has a spherical disk - like surface 11 which carries the spherical surface of a member 14 to which the girders 13 of the body are secured. The surfaces are centralized by a bolt 16 having a curved surface so as to allow of the rolling movement. A returning-spring 17 surrounds the bolt. The bearing-plates 11 may be carried by single or two-axle trucks or bogies. Fig. 5 shows a twoaxle truck in which the side members carrying the spherical bearing-surface are trunnioned at 27 upon side members 26 connecting the axleboxes. The wheels 3 may be flangeless and be guided and retained on the tracks 1 by guidemembers 5 engaging a central rail 2. These guide members preferably comprise a pair of independent hubs 5 free to rotate on the axle and spaced apart and positioned by rings 7, 8. The hubs carry detachable flanges 6.

Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 4945. British Thomson-Houston Go., [General Electric Co.]. Feb. 26. Magnetic blow-outs are designed so that the pole-pieces carry a magnetic flux the direction of which is such as to repel the arc from their surfaces. In the construction shown diagrammatically in Fig. 2, the outer ends of the polepieces 16, 17 are bent back inwards, the magnetic flux due to the blow-out coil 10 having the direction shown by the arrows. The arc is formed at the place indicated by the small circle 14, the current flowing from back to front relative to the plane of the paper. The effect is that the arc while being blown away from the coil is kept from spreading on the pole-pieces. In applying the invention to the electro-magnetic switch of known form shown in Fig. 3, the turned back portions 28 of the blow-out pole-pieces arc made with slots 31 to prevent the flux from going diagonally across.

Title: Improvements in Submarine Mines.
IPC: F42B22/18
Filed: 1913-06-14
Granted: 1914-01-08
Abstract: 13,807. HarlÚ et Cie. June 25, 1912, [Convention date]. Mines, marine. - Relates to automaticallv anchored mines of the kind in which the mine is released from the anchor, when this touches bottom, and is stopped at a predetermined depth while rising. According to this invention, the paying-out cable drum situated in the anchor is automatically locked to stop the rising mine by a sudden jerk on the anchor cable. In the form shown in Fig. 1, when the required depth is reached, a hydrostatic plate e withdraws a bolt g from a ring d<1>, thus releasing a loose length k of cable; the sudden release of tension in the cable allows a guidepulley l and bell-crank lever m, situated in the anchor, to be deflected by a spring n to release a spring catch n which locks the drum c. While the mine is on the anchor, before launching, the hydrostatic device is held at 'safe' by a projection r on the anchor. In a modification, the bell-crank lever locking-device becomes operative when a sudden increase to the tension in the cable is produced by a spring released by the hydrostatic device.

Abstract: 13,610. Brown, Lenox, & Co., and Ansell, E. C. June 4. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Grab-buckets.-Comprises improvements in single-chain grabs in which operation is effected by a rod A connected to the grab sections passing through cylinders C<1>, C<2> arranged one within the other, the sections being locked in the open position by catches I pivoted to one cylinder and engaging the top of the rod through slots in both cylinders. The catches I are pivoted to brackets N on the inner cylinder and are provided with tail-pieces connected by links 0 to brackets on the outer cylinder. The cylinders and rods may be of rectangular or polygonal section. The upper ends of the cylinders have flanges F<1>, F<2>. The outer ends of the sections are connected by links E to pivots B on the inner cylinder, and the lower end of the rod A is attached to arms J projecting inwardly from the backs of the bucket sections, by pin-and-slot connexions, or by a pivot if the pins are in alinement with the pivot of the grab section hinges. When the flange F' is caught by the tripping or suspending ring, and the chain is paid out, the rod A falls and the bucket opens. At the same time, the cylinder C<1> falls until the flange F<1> rests on the flange F', causing the catches I to be thrown inwardly to prevent the rod from being drawn out and the grab from closing. When the grab is lowered to the ground, the catches are thrown out, so that the grab can be closed prior to hoisting.
