Title: An Apparatus for Aspirating Dust by Suction.
Inventor: GABILLARD LOUIS
Filed: 1908-12-19
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 27,673. Gabillard, L. Dec. 28, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Ejectors for vacuum cleaning-apparatus are providedwith a suction chamber and with means for regulating the area of the annular nozzle th rough which the working- fluid passes. Gas or iquid under pressure enters the chamber A by the pipe C, which may be arranged tangentially to give a vertical movement to the fluid that escapes through the annulus formed by a double cone E and the tube B. The suction produced is transmitted back to the chamber G and to the suction nozzles connected therewith by the pipes K. The apparatus is regulated by screwing the tube B or the cone E in or out of the chamber A or by both of these methods.

IPC: F41G3/32
Filed: 1909-01-27
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 1965. Zeiss, C., [Firm of]. April 4, 1908, [Convention date]. Testing-apparatus, auxiliary.-In appliances by means of which the parallelism of two rays is determined, as described, for instance, in Specifications 17,868/93, and 28,866/04, reflecting-prisms are used which allow all rays reflected regularly to emerge parallel to their original direction so that no adjustment is necessary. Fig. 1 shows a prism a in which the emergent ray is unchanged in direction, Fig. 2 shows a prism b which gives the emergent rav a direction the reverse of that of the incident ray. By combining two such prisms as shown in Fig. 6, pivoting about a common axis, interocular adjustment is easily effected. Specification 23,061/05, is also referred to.

Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 10,163. Clarke, J. T. April 26. Lift cages, locking and unlocking. - The control apparatus of a lift is locked in its neutral position when a well door is opened, and if the door should be opened when the controller has been moved only partly towards the neutral position, movement away from this position is prevented, but movement towards the neutral position is permitted. Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of the general arrangement. The control lever 2 in the cage is connected by cables 3 to a lever 6. An angular movement of the lever 2 produces a corresponding movement of the lever 6, which movement is transmitted by the wheel 7 and cable or chain 8 to a valve-wheel 9. The wheel 9 is provided on its rim with adjustable ratchet plates 22 having between them a gap which is engaged by the catch 10 operated by a solenoid, the circuit of which is completed when a door is opened. Should a door be opened and its switch closed before the wheel 9 is in its neutral position, the catch 10 engages the ratchet teeth which only permit of the wheel being moved towards the neutral position. Sufficient gap is allowed between the steps 24 to compensate for leakage of valves in the case of an hydraulic lift. In one form, adapted for an electric lift, the controller is mounted beneath the floor of the cage, and the wheel in this case has the ratchet teeth formed on its rim and no clearance is necessary in the central gap. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, a catch is provided on the plunger 45 of a solenoid, and is arranged to engage teeth on a sliding bar 42 operated by the controller 371.

Back-pressure, reducing.- Relates to terminal -exhaust engines, and comprises means whereby, on failure of the vacuum, the residual steam in the cylinder is returned through the admission port as soon as the compression becomes equal to the steam-chest pressure. A diaphragm l, which is connected to a valve m, is open at one side to the atmosphere, and at the other to the engine exhaust at n. A piston g is linked as shown to the cam-roller of the valve-rod b. On failure of the vacuum at n, the valve m is open to admit pressure fluid at p, the consequent movement of the piston g determining the earlier opening of the admission valve. Specification 13,853/10 is referred to.

The bars C are secured singly or in pairs in recesses in the end disks B by wedges D, E, which are retained in position by rings F bolted to the disks. Longitudinal bars T are secured in slots S on the inside of the cover N by taper - headed bolts U and nuts V, and, to allow the cover to be adjusted towards or from the cylinder A, the bolts R by means of which it is secured to the supports P pass through slotted lugs 0 on the cover. The square or other bars X of the bottom cover or sieve Ware spaced apart and secured on the semicircular supporting - bars Y by wedgeheaded bolts Z, which pass between them and through the bars Y, and are provided with nuts a. Wedges c between the sole-plate d and the bearings b of the shaft G allow the cylinder A to be adjusted. The material is fed by a feedtray i, which is agitated by a rod operated by an eccentric shaft k driven by a belt k' from the shaft G, and is partly ground between the roller I and bars C and passes into the cylinder, any material remaining on the exterior being carried round and ground between the bars C and the cover-bars T, and then between the bars C and the sieve-bars X. The material passing to the inside of the cylinder is ground by the loose roller M, and passes between the bars C to the sieve W, where it is again ground and discharged.

Compensating for wear. - An arrangement for automatically taking up slack due to wear of the brake shoes in the vacuum or other brake apparatus of railway vehicles and the like comprises a pair of toothed eccentric sectors 1, 2, the former of which is pivoted to an arm or other part 4 connected to the brake shaft 5 and engages a square pin 24 carried by the pull-rod 7, and the latter of which is pivoted to the pull-rod and engages a detent 25 secured to the arm 4. The pivot 3 slides in a slot 9 in the pull-rod. The sector 1 has its teeth 10 ... 15 cut tangentially with respect to the centre 3, and is forked so that the other sector 2 may be disposed between the bifurcations. When the shaft 5 is rotated to apply the brakes, the pullrod is actuated by engagement of the tooth 10 with the pin 24, and the detent 25 slides on the tooth 18. When sufficient wear occurs, the detent 25 slides sufficiently to allow the sector 2 to fall so as to bring the next tooth 19 into engagement, and, as the parts are released, the sector 1 also falls to take up a tooth.
