Inventor: HENRI ALFRED ARMAND JOSEPH LEL
IPC: F02B75/06
Filed: 1912-04-19
Granted: 1900-01-01
Abstract: 9285. Lelarge, H. A. A..J. April 19, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Driving-gear.-The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes devices of the type in which two crank-shafts are driven simultaneously in opposite directions by means of connecting-rods pivoted to a single reciprocating piston, the lateral reactions upon which are thereby reduced or obviated. The shafts may be constrained to turn at the same speed by transmission gearing or other means. The piston may be additionally guided by means of a second piston or guide member rigidly connected thereto and working in a diametrically opposite cylinder or guideway; the second piston being a working piston like the first or an air-pump in the case of a two-stroke-cycle engine. The device is applicable to an engine having several parallel cylinders, each of the pistons being connected to the two shafts, which have a suitable series of cranks. As shown in Fig. 1, the piston 4 working in the cylinder 3 drives the crank-shafts 1, 2 simultaneously in opposite directions by means of a pair of connecting-rods 8, 9. To ensure equal rotation in opposite directions, the shafts 1, 2 may be connected by toothed gears 12, 13 as shown in Fig. 2, or by a transverse shaft and bevel gearing; or, as shown in Fig. 5, by means of a secondary pair of connecting-rods 22, 23 and a sliding guide-block 24. Instead of a block, the member 24 may, as shown in Fig. 6, comprise a cylindrical member 27 having a ball-mounted ring 28 constrained by the guideway 25. In these arrangements, to compensate for faulty gearing, the piston 4 is provided with a pivoted traverse 14 to which the connecting-rods 8, 9 are connected. The piston 4 may be guided by a second piston 30, Fig. 7, rigidly connected thereto by means of a rod 31 and reciprocating within a cylinder 29. The cylinder 29 may be a working cylinder like-the cylinder 3, or it may form an air-pump, in which case a twostroke drive for the piston 4 would be used. Instead of a piston and cylinder, a simple guideway may be provided for the piston-rod 31. The shafts 1, 2 may be driven from the far end 32 of the rod 31, where the temperature is lower. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, the shafts 1, 2 may be connected by gearing as shown in Fig. 2. In this case the traverse 32 is pivotally connected to the piston-rod 31.

Granted: 1914-01-08
Abstract: 3107. Flower, J. W. Feb. 6. Bottles, washing.-In bottle-soaking machines of the kind in which the bottles are carried through a tank by endless bands, the bands are fitted with bottle-holding trays or shelves, each of which receives a number of bottles placed end to end, and after the soaking operation permits them to roll on to a conveyer or on to the shelves of a similar adjacent soaking- machine. Figs. 1 and 2 show a construction of machine in accordance with the invention. The bottles are placed end to end on the trays of the first conveyer and are carried through the first compartment of the tank to the point 10, where they fall by gravity on to the trays of the second conveyer; they are then carried through the second compartment to the point 11, where they fall on to the delivery belt 12. Labels and the like removed from the bottles fall through the curved grids 13 into the bottom of the compartments. The trays are formed of obtuse-angled plates, one arm of which is attached to the conveyer chains so that the other forms an inclined shelf or ledge for receiving the bottles. The chains are driven intermittently so that successive trays are arrested at the loading stage by means of worm gear 22, Fig. 2, actuated from a main driving-pulley 14. Pins 25 on one of the chain driving-wheels are engaged successively by an arm 26 of the clutchoperating lever. A momentary operation of the handle 18 first withdraws the arm 26, then engages the clutch, next permits the spring 20 to disengage the clutch, and lastly interposes the arm 26 in the path of the rest stop 25. The whole of the driving-mechanism is mounted on a plate 29 which can be adjusted on the plate 30 by means of bolts 31 for chain-tensioning purposes. Doors 37 and a connecting-pipe with a cock 39 are fitted at the base of the compartments. An overflow pipe 40 is provided to permit a constant circulation of liquid through the tanks.

A latch to lock the pen and cap together, and a spring, which is adapted to protrude the pen through the cap when the latch is released, are also provided. According to the construction shown in Fig. 1, the cap C is mounted on a sleeve B surrounding the pen A, and consists of two half-parts b, b<1> each hinged to the sleeve B and normally pressed together by springs H and formed with inclined surfaces b<2> seating against corresponding surfaces a on the pen. The sleeve B is provided with an extension B<2> in which are located a latch E adapted to engage a stud D on the pen A so as to lock the pen and cap in the closed position, and a spring F which withdraws the cap C along the pen when the latch is released. Slots B<1> in the sleeve B allow the pen A to be grasped so that the operation of the cap can be performed with one hand. In order to release the latch, shown in Fig. 1, the extension B<2> is placed in contact with a table, the pen A is grasped and forced downwards, causing the stud D to engage the inclined parts c of the latch and so open the latch; the spring is then allowed to come into sudden operation and the stud D escapes the latch. The spring F then causes the cap C to be withdrawn and to open as it passes the nib by the engagement of the inclined surfaces a, b<2>. A modified form of latch is described in which the stud D is provided with a wire carrying a sliding ball which is arranged to open the latch. Another form of latch consists of a spring-controlled lever arranged on the cap or on the sleeve B and having a projection normally engaging a groove on the pen. In the construction shown in Fig. 7, and in other modifications, the cap consists of a hinged door or doors C' and is connected through spring-controlled arms or rods with a projection o normally lying in the path of the pen. When the pen A is moved in the sleeve B, a shoulder a on the pen engages the projection o and opens the cap C<1>. In all the constructions, the sleeve B may be made short so as not to enclose the pen completely, in which case the spring F is dispensed with, and the sleeve is moved on the pen by hand to operate the cap C.
