Title: Improvements in Devices for Supplying Feed-water to Travelling Locomotives.
Inventor: PESCI DINO
IPC: B61C17/02
Filed: 1911-04-24
Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 9933. Pesci, D. April 24. Water pick-up apparatus.-Comprises water pick-up apparatus for locomotives in motion, in which the water is supplied from a pipe through valves which are automatically opened as the locomotive passes. Figs. 1 and 2 show the apparatus in end and side elevation respectively. The locomotive tender is provided with a conduit 1 which can be swung outwards on pivoted arms 2 so as to be positioned under valves 12 carried on branch pipes from a fixed pipe 10. The valves are normally closed by weighted arms 13 or by the water pressure, but are opened as the conduit passes underneath by means of a rail 5 on the conduit, which operates rollers 14 on the valve arms. The conduit communicates with the tank on the tender by hose-pipes 4. Forwardly-inclined pipes 15 are fitted below the valves to give the water movement in the direction of travel of the locomotive, and partitions 16 are also provided in the conduit. The formed part of the openings 17 of the hosepipes 4 are flared to facilitate water flowing into the tender.

Title: Improvements in Means for Controlling Steam Blowers for Locomotive Boilers and the like.
Inventor: LANGER THEODOR
IPC: F23L17/00
Filed: 1913-01-07
Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 475. Langer, T. Jan. 10, 1912, [Convention date]. Draught, regulating.-Controlling-means for the blower of a locomotive are arranged so that, on opening the regulator, the blower is thrown out of operation, and on closing the regulator is thrown into operation and throttled after the lapse of a regulable period. On opening the regulator, steam passes at 17 through a conduit 18 into a cylinder 11 and also through a non-return valve 19 into a reservoir 21 and passage 20 leading to a cylinder 12. The pistons 13, 14 are thus seated at 15, 16 respectively and the piston valve 8 is moved into the port 9 closing the blower conduit which steam enters at 1 and leaves at 1<1>. When the regulator is closed, the conduit 17 is opened to the atmosphere and the piston 13 moves down until its stem abuts against the piston 14 which is kept raised by the pressure of the steam retained by the valve 19, which is slightly raised from its seat by the regulating- screw 22. The valve 8 then assumes the midposition shown between the ports 9, 10 and the blower conduit is fully open. As steam escapes by the valve 19, the pressure on the valve 8 gradually overcomes that due to the piston 14 and the valve 8 moves down throttling the port 10 to an extent determined by a regulating- screw 23 which limits the motion of the piston 14. A reservoir may be placed in communication with the space below the port 9 so that the blower may continue in operation for some time after the regulator is opened. Sudden throttling can be brought about by discharging the steam from the reservoir 21 and cylinder 12 by raising the valve 19 by the screw 22. In order to be able to start the blower at any time irrespective of the position of the controlling- means, a second valve 3 is arranged on a reduced portion 7 of the rod 4 of the valve 2 which normallv controls the flow of steam to the controlling-means. Further upward motion of the rod 4 causes the valve 3 to be opened and steam is then supplied direct through the passage 30 to the blower. The handle 5 of the rod 4 is provided with a spring-pressed sleeve 25 with a stop 26 which engages a stop 26<1> for keeping the rod and consequently the valves 2, 3 in the normal position shown. Movement of the sleeve allows the stops 26, 26<1> to pass one another if another setting of the valves is desired.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Embroidering Machines.

Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 3155. Saurer, A., [Firm of]. March 19, 1912, [Convention date]. Embroidery machines.-A shaft coupling between the embroidery machine and the automaton comprises a friction clutch and a pin or dog clutch, arranged so that, in starting the machine, the friction clutch becomes operative for a succession of brief periods in order gradually to speed up the machine, and thereafter, when the shafts are in proper relation one to the other, the pin-clutch positively and finally couples the shafts together. A cone frictionclutch member 8 is fixed upon the driving-shaft 1, and the member 9 is loose upon the shaft and has gear-teeth upon its periphery at 6 in order to drive the embroidery machine. The member 8 carries a pin 11 slidingly mounted within it and pressed toward the member 9 by a spring 17 and lever 15. When the member 9 is moved from the position shown into contact with the member 8, the pin 11 is carried with it towards the left, so that, on being carried round with the member 8, the pin 11 bears upon a fixed cam 18, is forced towards the right, and in pushing the member 9 in front of it disengages the clutch. The operator in continuing to press upon the starting-lever 10 causes several repetitions of this action until the pin 11 chances to slip into the hole 14 and thereby the shafts are positively clutched together.
