Title: Improvements in Gas Stoves.
Inventor: FISCHER PAUL
IPC: F24C3/04
Filed: 1912-10-18
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 23,866. Fischer, P. Oct. 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Gas-fires; air - heating gas stoves.-A gas stove which may be used alternatively as an air-heater or as a combination air-heater and gas fire comprises a group of incandescent bodies d beneath an air - beating casing a traversed by flues f, and a door h at front which is closed when the stove serves only for heating air. The incandescent bodies d are each set in a rectangular recess formed by shaping a reflector e. These recesses are closed at the front by the door, which thus forms with the reflector a series of flues each of which contains an incandescent body d. Air enters the stove from beneath, and parses behind the reflector e into the air-heating casing a, and in front of the reflector to the incandescent bodies d and to the flues f. The bodies d are substantially conical, and each has an independent burner c. An outlet g for the hot air is provided at the top of the stove.

Title: Improvements in Funnels for Liquids.
Inventor: CRONE AUGUST VON DER
IPC: B67C11/06
Filed: 1912-11-16
Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 26,328. Crone, A. von der. Nov. 16. Funnels.-Relates to a funnel of the type in which a valve is opened to permit liquid to pass when the funnel is placed in the mouth of a container, the valve closing again when the funnel is removed, and in which a float valve is also provided to close the filling- tube as the liquid rises. According to the present invention, the filling-tube b telescopes into the funnel bowl l, and its upper end constitutes a valve d which normally closes on to a seating e. When the funnel is placed in a bottle, the valve is raised by the flange i of the tube b bearing on the bottle moutb, and a tight joint between the bowl and stem of the funnel is effected by a collar h bearing against the lower part of the bowl. Below the passages p of the valve d, a seating is provided for a float valve c located in the filling-tube. The valve d can be unscrewed to remove the filling-tube.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Menas of Controlling Railway Signals.
Inventor: JOHNSON ARTHUR HENRY
IPC: B61L7/02
Filed: 1912-11-22
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 26,879. Johnson, A. H., and Thorrowgood, W. J. Nov. 22. Controlling signals.-To enable a single automatic signal reverser to serve for governing any one of a series of independently-operable interlocked signals, a floating lever is provided for each signal coupled at three points to the lever, to the signal, and through a lost-motion device, to an element movable with one of the reverser coupling-members. The device may also be used for a single signal, the lost-motion device being then omitted. The hand-levers are mounted above a beam A, and beneath each is a floating lever B<1>, coupled to its hand-lever by a vertically guided link C<1>, and to the signal through the wire N passing under fixed pulleys P, and over a pulley M mounted in a stirrup K' attached to the lever B' and normally resting on a footstep L provided with a guide-rod l. The other end of the lever B<1> carries a slotted link E<1> in which works a pin f on an arm F<1> attached to a shaft D, another arm F on which is attached by a rod G to the movable coupling-member of the suspended reverser H. The levers B<1> normally rest on a beam J, and when a hand-lever is operated and the members of the reverser are locked, the signal is operated. If the members of the reverser are not locked, the pull on the lever B<1> raises the rod G to displace the movable member. The floating levers of the other signals are unaffected, since the pins f rise in the slots e. If the signal has been operated and the reverser is then unlocked, as by the action of a train-operated or point-detector switch governing the circuit of its electro-magnet, the lever B' turns about its centre and the signal returns. Wires for operating signalling - apparatus.- Each signal wire passes round a winch R' on the beam A or in the upper storey of'the cabin, and the wires may be tightened thereby until the stirrup K<1> rests on its foot-step L.

Granted: 1913-10-09
Abstract: 14,300. Emmel, M. June 20. Ruling-devices. - Ruling-devices of the kind in which ink is fed on to a roller c from a reservoir a by means of a spring-urged plunger are provided with means for maintaining the inkduct normally closed and for opening it when the device is to be used. In the construction shown, the reservoir is connected to the head b by a pivot and the ink flows along ducts c, m, f. When the device is in the position for use shown in Fig. 2, the ducts e, m are connected by a radial aperture k to allow ink to flow to the reservoir, and this connexion is broken when the members a, b are in line. A spring o normally maintains them in the latter position, and abutments n, n<1> are provided to determine the two positions of the device. The rate at which the ink flows to the roller is adjusted by the screw r. Superfluous ink is removed from the roller by a curved plate s bearing against it. In a modification, the plane of the wheel c is at right-angles to the axis of the reservoir and is rotated around it, when the device is put into operation, so as to effect communication between the ducts. In a further modification, a pivot is dispensed with and a manually-operated cock is provided in the duct, this cock being acted on by a spring which normally retains it in its closed position.

Abstract: 29,333. Altenstein, F., and Brant, N. Dec. 19. Clutches, friction.-In Weston plate friction clutches, the presser-plate 6 is actuated by toggle-levers 13 pivoted to the front plate 11 of the clutch casing 4. The sliding collar 20 is connected tn links 18 which are pivoted both to levers 17, pivoted on the front plate 11, and to spring levers 16 bearing against the jointpins 14 of the toggle-levers 13. As the clutch plates 7, 10 wear, the pressure of the spring levers 16 becomes less, but at the same time the levers 13 fall more nearly into alinement, so as to increase the axial thrust produced by a given radial force. For adjustment, the plate 11 is actuated by an internally and externally threaded ring 12 locked by pins 22, 23. The boss 9 carrying the clutch plates 10 is made square. To compensate for any wear on the clutch plates produced by vibration or rocking of the shaft 8 on its ball bearing 24, the plates are made progressively thicker as they approach the presser-plate 6.
