Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 13,822. Devic, C., Bonnevey, G., and Duchange, A. March 29, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Turbines.-The buckets f of a water-wheel are pivoted on shafts g and are provided with tappets h, i,j, k, m, which, when the buckets reach their lowest positions, strike against stops o and cause the discharge of the water. The buckets are filled from a shoot r, and the water that falls between alternate buckets is caught in fixed buckets q ; the water from these falls into the movable buckets as the wheel rotates. The tappets are carried on opposite sides of alternate buckets to prevent fouling. In order to facilitate the flow of the water, the buckets may have one side doubly curved to form spouts v.

Inventor: RIVIERRE LOUIS-CLEMENT-GASTON
Filed: 1908-02-20
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 3879. Rivierre, L. C. G. Feb. 20, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor road vehicles.-In a variable-speed transmission device, applicable to motor road vehicles &c., the shaft 2 is driven through a ratchet &c. device by a lever 8 forming one side of a pivotally jointed quadrilateral 7, 8, 9, 10, adjustably constrained by a radius rod 13, and oscillated by means of a connecting-rod 5 and crank-shaft 1. The radius rod 13 is pivoted at 14 to a sleeve 15 movable by means of a fork &c. upon a rod 16 radially arranged with reference to the shaft 2. In its outer extreme position the pivot 14 coincides with the pivotal joint 11, the links 9, 13 being equal, and no motion is transmitted to the arm 8 or shaft 2. As the pivot 14 is moved nearer the shaft 2, the oscillation of the arm 8 increases until it is nearly equal to that of the arm 7. Three or more sets of the apparatus may be actuated by cranks or an eccentric on the driving-shaft, the motion being transmitted by toothed wheels to a central toothed wheel.

Title: Improvements in Vent Valves for Automatic Train Stopping Systems.
Inventor: SEDGWICK HIRAM GEE
Filed: 1908-02-25
Granted: 1908-11-05
Abstract: 4233. Sedgwick, H. G. June 29, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Rotary or oscillating disk or sector valves; actuating valves. -In an automatic train-stopping device, the vent valve for the pneumatic brakes has a port, part-circular in form, which is narrowed at its forward end, and the valve is given an initial quick movement and a subsequent slower movement so as to give a preliminary part reduction followed by a full reduction of pressure. The train pipe a<1>, Fig. 1, is connected to a valve chest b<1> provided with a venthole c<1>. The vent valve d<1> is formed with a port d<11> having a narrow forward end d<2>, Fig. 3. The valve d<1> is mounted on a spindle e<1> driven by clockwork motor. The spindle e<1> carries a cam f<1> so shaped that at a certain point in the rotation of the valve, the cam will press a brake lever g<1> against a drum h<1> mounted on one of the shafts of the motor. A solenoid f is contained in the circuit of the battery D, which is closed when a brush g, contacting with electrical devices on the permanent way as described in Specification No. 24,203, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Railway signals &c.], is electrically connected to the axle h of the locomotive. The solenoid f attracts its armature e and lifts a rod l<1> carrying an arm m<1> which releases the fan k<1> of the motor. When the armature e is raised, contacts d close a second circuit of the battery D containing the solenoid f and keep this solenoid f energized until this circuit is broken by the passage of a pair of contact fingers e<11>, forming part of the circuit, off an insulated metal plate p<1> on the spindle e<1>. A cam o<1> on the spindle e<1> holds the rod l<1> with its arm m<1> away from the fan until the valve completes a single rotation, when the rod drops off the shoulder of the cam and stops the motor. When the fin k<1> is released the narrow end d' of the valve port quickly passes over the opening of the vent opening c<1>; but when the larger part d<11> is passing over the opening c', the speed of the motor is reduced by the cam f<1> operating the brake lever g<1>, so that the brakes are fully applied by a 'single rotation of the valve.

Abstract: 14,099. Lawson, H. J. July 3. Spokes; axle.caps.-Wheels with spokes in compression are constructed with cross-shaped spokes having screw seatings on the hub, and tension spokes may be used in combination with these spokes. The compression spokes c are provided with screws q, Fig. 14, at their inner ends, on which internally-coned nuts o are placed, conical projections l on a hub-ring j coacting , with the nuts. At their outer ends these spokes are provided with shoes w, having pins g to engage holes in the rim. The cones on the ring j and the inner ends of the spokes may be shaped like nuts o, which, when in position on the hub k, are held between two disks d, d<1>, Fig. 9, having recesses to receive the nuts to form a driving - connexion between the hub and the spokes. The free disk d may be attached to the other integral with the hub by through -bolts ; or an axle-cap, Fig. 8, may secure the disk, a spring catch s adapted to engage teeth on the hub locking the cap in position. A spanner u, Fig. 18, for use with this cap has a sliding bolt v, which when pushed forward can engage under the spring catch and hold it out of engagement with the corresponding teeth. The compression spokes are ordinarily solid, but when for use with tension spokes are formed of crossshaped tubing, the tension spokes k passing through the tubes and being attached by nuts n resting on the underside of the cones l ; or the tension spokes may be screwed to the cones which in this case are separate from, and pass through holes in, the hub ring.

Title: Improvements in Wringing and Mangling Machines.
Filed: 1908-12-01
Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 25,908. Entwisle & Kenyon, Kenyon, W. H., and Shorrock, J. L. Dec. 1. Hinges and pivots.-In a foldable mangling or wringing machine, in which the mangle is secured to one side of a board A which is pivotally attached to the frame C and forms a table when the mangle is inverted, a spring is arranged at the pivots to retard the lowering and assist the raising of the mangle. As shown in Fig. 2, a bracket fixed to the board A is formed with a hollow boss b containing a coiled spring D secured at one end to the boss at d and at the other to the frame at d'. The pivotal connexion is formed by a bolt E, which may carry loose collars in order to prevent displacement of the convolutions of the spring. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the spring is placed inside a boss c formed on the frame, and tho pivotal connexion is obtained by the engagement of a projecting portion c<1> on the frame with the hollow boss b. In another arrangement, the parts are pivoted as shown in Fig. 5, but the spring is placed in the boss b, and in a further construction the spring is arranged as shown in Fig. 5, but the pivot is formed by the bolt E.

Abstract: 5243. Ross, J. H. March 4. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Reservoirs, attaching to lanterns.-The reservoir b of a lamp such as is used on motor-cars and bicycles, or a ship, hurricane, or like lantern, is secured in position by means of a rotatable locking-ring c having slots c<5>, through which pass pins b<2> on the reservoir, and spring tongues c<2> with depressions c<3>, Fig. III, for engaging the pins. A spring wire d locks the ring c when in the position for disengaging the reservoir. The ring is held between a shoulder a<2> and a wire a' sprung into a groove in the lamp base a, and is provided with a handle c' which operates between the ends a<4>, a<5> of a slot in the base. The winding-spindle fits in the stop b <1> which engages the slot a<1> and so prevents rotation of the reservoir. The wire d is secured by the end d' to the upper part of the base a, and has a bent part d<2> and a downwardlyturned end d<3>. The reservoir is released by turning the ring until the handle c<1> reaches the slot end a<5>, thus bringing the slots c<5> beneath the pins b<2>. The end d<3> of the wire d then engages the hole c<6> in the ring, and so keeps it in position for the re-insertion of the reservoir. When this is replaced, one of the pins b<2> strikes against the part d<2> of the locking-wire and thus releases the ring, which, is then turned into the locking-position, Fig. II. The securing- mechanism may be placed at the neck of the reservoir or in any other position, and any number of spring tongues and supporting-pins may be used.
