Jacks. - Jacking-apparatus of the type described in Specification 16,748/10 is modified by the provision of bearing-members engaging the ground on opposite sides of the axle to prevent tilting of the apparatus and consequent dumping of the load. Fig. 2 shows one construction in which an additional arm 28 is pivoted to the fixed arm 24. When the vehicle is raised, a pivoted spring dog 33 enters the space between the members 24, 28 and prevents relative upward movement of the latter. Preferably, the roller on the arm 28 is arranged just to clear the ground when the roller on the arm 24 rests thereon. Fig. 7 shows a modification in which the pivoted arm is locked by a spring latch 41 engaging a slot in the fixed arm. The tapered end 43 of the operating-lever forces out the latch and automatically unlocks the two members during the operation of raising the vehicle. The form of apparatus described in the before - mentioned Specification, for raising heavy vehicles in which the two axle supports are operated independently, is provided with rigid lateral bearing- members fixed to the centre of the rod connecting the axle supports.

Abstract: 18,371. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 9. Low-pressure metallic-vapour apparatus.-A hightemperature mercury or like lamp with a refractory envelope has a solid anode near, but out of contact with, a body of easily-vaporizable material, which is thus heated by radiation and increases the vapour density in the lamp. Fig. 2 shows mercury 7 surrounding the positive leading-in wire of tungsten and serving to fill a side tube the composition of which changes from silica at its inner end to sodium magnesium boro-silicate sealing glass at its outer end, as described in Specification 18,300/12, [Class 39 (ii), Electric lamps, Incandescent]. The upper part of the mercury may be insulated from the wire by a silica tube having a flanged end attached to the side-tube near the middle of the latter tube, which may then be entirely of silica, and be closed by a nickel-steel plug surrounding the wire. In another arrangement, the mercury 7, Fig. 5, is contained in a pocket separate from the sealing tube, which is then filled by a quartz or other body 11, to prevent condensation. Excessive evaporation of the mercury near the anode is in all cases checked by the increase in distance between them. By varying the size of the anode and its leading-in wire, and its distance from the mercury, the current and pressure required may be varied ; the efficiency is high. The cathode may have a narrow active surface, confined by a thick-walled constriction 12, Fig. 6. Specifications 24,470/04, 10,957/06, and 18,372/12, are also referred to.

Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 9577. Sartori, G. April 23. Indicating maximum movements.-Relates to apparatus for registering excess energy, operating only after a predetermined period has elapsed and primarily adapted for use as an electricity maximum-demand indicator whereby excess energy developed only for a short time is not registered. As shown in Fig. 1, one of the balancing weights of a Ferraris meter consists of a glass tube t into which small spheres are dropped to counteract any extra turning moment of the armature T. A clock-work M operates a screw conveyer v and a disk D provided with a scoop, so that at each revolution a ball is picked up and dropped into a shoot i and conveyed along the screw. If the maximum current is exceeded for the period occupied by the balls in traversing the screw, these begin to drop into the tube t until the turning moment is balanced, whereupon the casing m which is attached to the armature T rotates and allows the balls to drop out through a slot s, Fig. 2, into the reservoir R. In a modification, the armature turns against the action of a spring. The balls are supplied to small scoops arranged on a wheel gearing with a spindle to which one side of the spring is attached and provided with a ratchet-wheel to prevent back movement. If after the lapsed interval a ball is supplied to one of the scoops, a clockwork-rotated arm forces the wheel forwards another step, but on the supply of balls ceasing owing to the armature being balanced, the arm passes freely through a slot in the next empty scoop.
