Title: Improvements in Magnetic Speed Indicators and the like.
Inventor: MENNS WALTER KING
IPC: G01P3/495
Filed: 1911-04-19
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 9575. Menns, W. K. April 19. Magnetic speed indicators. - Errors due to temperature changes are eliminated by the use of thermostatic d e v i c e s which vary the distance between the armature disk, and field mass, and the rotating magnet. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the armature disk 8, provided with a flange 12 carrying the s p e e d numerals, is pivotally mounted between a stationary field mass 7 and the rotated magnet 6. Two bimetallic strips 17 are each fixed at one end and carry, at the other extremity, bolts 22 connected to a casing 14, in which the field mass 7 and the disk 8 are mounted. Elastic plates 17<1> interposed between the strips and their support oppose the downward bending of the strips in order to produce uniform compensation effects. In the instrument shown in Fig. 3, the bimetallic strip 34 directly supports the pivot of the armature disk spindle 27.

Inventor: SCOTT RILEY ESTEL
IPC: B64D1/04
Filed: 1911-05-02
Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 10,638. Scott, R. E. May 2. Speed indicators forming part of apparatus for launching projectiles from aircraft, of the kind in which a support mounted on gimbals carries the projectiles and sighting-devices. Figs. 5 and 6 show an arrangement in which two projectiles 88 are adapted to be released simultaneously at a predetermined instant, with their axes horizontal, from an aerial machine travelling horizontally at a known height and speed. The height is noted from the barograph, and the speed is determined by noting the time which elapses between the instants at which an object upon the ground can be sighted with the telescope 61 set first at an angle of forty-five degrees and then set vertically. The telescope is then set at an angle 62, Fig. 5, corresponding to the known height and speed, and the projectiles are released when the target is sighted. The ring 69, Fig. 6, carrying the gimbals is adjustable in azimuth by a rack 70 and a pinion 171. The projectiles 88 are supported by flexible bands which are released simultaneously by electro-magnetic devices.

Abstract: 11,622. Dunlop, G. H. May 13. Skips; jib cranes.- In excavating-machinery of the type in which a scoop is dragged along the ground by a filling- rope, hoisted from the jib of a derrick, slued, and dumped, two hoisting-ropes are used, carried over guide-pulleys arranged on either side of the pivot of the jib so that the jib is slued by the tension of the hoisting-rope. As shown, a scoop 3 is filled by a rope 4 wound on a drum 5, hoisted and slued to the right by a rope 7<a> passing over guidepulleys set to the right of the pivot of the jib and wound on a drum 8<a>. The scoop is then tipped, the jib swung to the left, and the scoop lowered by a rope 7<b> passing over pulleys set to the left of the pivot of the jib and round a drum 8<b>. The three winding-drums are preferably on the same shaft, and each is provided with a brake and clutch. If the scoop is to be dumped sometimes to one side of the cutting and sometimes to the other, the two ropes 7<a>, 7<b> are used for hoisting and slueing only, and a separate tipping-rope as described in Specification 19,340/09 is used, or the end of the jib is furnished with trip gear engaging a rigid bail on the scoop and tipping the same. The jib is provided with a band brake to control the slueing, and with a splayed socket, wedges, and holding-bolts to enable its angle to be adjusted.

Abstract: 2624. Forrester, H. J. C., [European Brush Machine Co.]. Feb. 1. Automatic-feed weighers.-In a machine for assembling two kinds of bristles from separate hoppers to form a brush-tuft, bristles from the second hopper 5 fall on to a weighing-bar 75 from which they are transferred to a table 31. Into the hopper 5 enters a knife 87 pivoted at 51 and operated, by links 90, 91, cam 92, and gearing, through a clutch from the shaft 24. Through the same clutch are driven both a wheel 48 feeding the bristles to a throat 60, and a fork 61 (by a crossed band 71 and eccentric 63) the prongs of which by their elliptical motion through the throat discharge the bristles therefrom. The bristles fall on to the arms 72 of the weighing-bar 75, which turns on its pivot 74 when a predetermined quantity of bristles has collected. In so turning, the outer end of the weighing-bar turns the bell-crank lever 107. 108 so as to cause the clutch member on the shaft 24 to be disengaged, thus stopping the feeding of the bristles. In falling, the arms 72 pass arms 78, on which they leave the bristles. These arms 78 are then turned over on their pivot 79, by a sector 81 operated by links and a cam on the shaft 21, to lay the bristles on the table 31 shown in Fig. 27 viewed from the other side.
