Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 6786. Othmer, E. March 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Actuating valves. - In apparatus for automatically lighting and extinguishing gas lamps by variations of pressure in the gas mains, the pressure required for extinguishing is made the same as that required for lighting by providing additional weights arranged to be lifted during the extinguishing operation only, so as to impose on the apparatus an amount of work equal to that done in the lighting operation in lifting the valve and its attached parts. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 12, the valve 26 is carried by a lever 43, the inner end of which rests on a cam on a ratchet-operated shaft 39 worked by a pawl 37 from a bell 28, and is lifted in the lighting operation, and lowered during the extinguishing operation. The additional weights 49, 50 consist of weighted arms resting on additional cams so disposed on the shaft 39 and shaped as to raise these weights when the lever 43 is lowered, and vice versa. In a modification, adjustably-weighted arms are used.

Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 7469. Stone & Co., J., and Darker, A. H. Oct. 27, 1909. Electro - magnetic switches.-In electric systems for lighting, heating, cooling, and ventilating railway carriages and other vehicles, where two storage batteries are employed of which one is being charged while the other is " floating " in the circuit in series with a resistance, the electro-magnetic switch for interchanging periodically the positions of the two batteries is of the rotary ratchet-actuated type with a solenoid placed vertically and a core controlled by gravity. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the switch consists of a disk 55 carrying two semicircular contact segments 56, 57 which slide beneath four brushes 50, 51, 52, 53. The brushes 50 and 52 are respectively connected to the two batteries 28, 27; the brush 53 is connected directly to the dynamo terminal 7 and the brush 51 through a resistance 33. The disk is actuated by upward strokes of a solenoid-core 58, which has a pivoted pawl 62 striking against pins 63. The solenoid-core is coned and provided with non-magnetic pins 59<a> to strike against a magnetic bushing 163. The stroke may be arranged to produce a quarter-revolution of the disk or less. The solenoid-core may actuate the disk at the downstroke instead of the up-stroke. A brush 64 is added, if desired, to short-circuit the resistance 33. In another form of switch shown in Fig. 4, there are four stationary segmental contacts and two rotating brushes 56<b>, 57b.

Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 16,558. Combe, F. A. July 11. Folding and collapsible rocking seats.-Relates to a folding rocking chair which will accommodate itself to any position by pressure on the back. The base rails have notches 7 which form bearings for the back rails 10. The seat rails 13 are pivoted to the base at 9, and are connected by links 21 with the back 10. Arm-rests 16 are supported by links 20. A leg-rest 27 is also provided. The bars 24 of the leg-rest are pivoted to the base at 8, the bars 27 having hooks 30 which engage the rod 14 of the seat frame. When not in use, the bars 27 can be unhooked from the rod 14 and hooked on to the rod 26 connecting the bars 24. The whole of the leg-rest can then be swung so as to rest upon the rod 12. A pin-and-slot connexion 23 prevents the back from assuming a position too near the vertical. To fold the chair, the back rails 10 are lifted out of the notches 7, whereupon the whole framework readily folds together. The seat and leg-rests are formed of strips of fabric &c. which may be upholstered. To prevent wear at the joints, metal bushings and sleeves are employed.

Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 9373. Bambridge, W. G. April 15. Drilling-machines have means whereby, from a continuously-running drive, the drill spindles may be idle or rotated in either direction and a slow feed given to them when rotated in one direction and a quick return in the other direction, the motions being governed by stops on the spindles. The drill spindle 4 has loosely mounted on it the bevel-wheels 3, 2, driven in opposite directions by a common bevel-wheel through gearing enclosed in a case and a flexible shaft or other means. The case is adapted to be rotated on the frame to any angular position. The bevel-wheels have clutch portions which are engaged by an intermediate clutch portion 6 splined to the spindle and controlled by a lever 8. The spindle is fed by screwing through a nut 15 rotated continuously in one direction through gearing from one of the driven bevel-wheels, so that the nut and spindle are rotated in the same direction but at different rates on the forward feed, but in opposite direction on the return feed. A ball bearing 15<a> may be interposed to take the thrust of the nut. The feed is stopped on the limits of motion being reached by the adjustable stops 27 on the spindle actuating the lever 8 through the link 24. The bearing 22 has an internal sleeve 23 splined to the spindle to rotate with the spindle and prevent cutting of the thread.
