Title: Improvements in Railway Signalling and Stopping Trains Independently of Drivers.
Inventor: MOORE HARRY WILLIAM
IPC: B61L3/02
Filed: 1914-01-31
Granted: 1915-03-31
Abstract: 2550. Moore, H. W., and Berry, R. G. Jan. 31. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-A whistle or train-pipe valve i and a miniature signal are operated when a cross-head b falls against a tail-piece l of the valve i. The cross-head is carried by a piston g in a cylinder K normally receiving compressed air through a piston valve, which forms part of a hollow vertically sliding engine contact. If the contact breaks or is raised by a track ramp so as to open the piston valve ports, air escapes from the cylinder, and the piston and cross-head fall. The cross-head comprises two pieces of soft iron which normally complete the magnetic circuit of a permanent magnet having laterally projecting pole-pieces c, and the magnet is thereby enabled to hold up a pivoted iron bar d. As the cross-head falls, the pieces of soft iron b are removed, and the bar d, falling away from the magnet, engages the tail-piece l so as to prevent the closing of the valve i after the engine contact has left the track ramp. If, however, an electric track circuit is completed through the ramp and the coils e of an electric brake acting upon the pivotal part of the bar d, the bar does not fall, and the valve i closes as soon as the train contact leaves the track ramp.

Abstract: 5873. Czerny, V. March 21, 1913, [Convention date]. Brushing and cleaning chains. - Chains to be cleaned are wound on a rotating drum which is guided past a rotating disk -brush and can be rotated about an axis at right-angles to the axis of the brush. The framework p carrying the drum a moves in a guide q which is pivotally mounted on and secured to the carriage n by a bolt r. The axis of the bolt r is at right-angles to the shaft v on which the brush o is mounted, so that by moving the drum about the bolt r it is possible to clean the lateral parts of the chain. An axially indisplaceable threaded spindle t is mounted in the frame p and is engaged by a nut h fixed to the guide q. The spindle t is connected by gearing to the spindle b of the drum a, which is driven through worm gearing s by a flexible shaft u operated by the shaft v. The movement of the frame p is reversed automatically at the end of its travel by changing the gearing between the spindles b, t from a single gear 7 to a double gear 8, 9, and vice versa. The gears 7 and 8, 9 are mounted on a square pin k provided with a notch 15 which is engaged by a pivoted lever z rocked in the known manner by tappets g on the guide q. In order to retain the lever z in both operative positions, it is formed with a projection 20, Fig. 5, which in both operative positions drops into slots 21 in a resilient plate 22, from which it is released by the tappets g bearing against the inclined end faces of the plate 22 just before they reach the lever z. The machine is preferably made with two drums a and brushes o, and is symmetrically arranged on each side of the line x-x, Fig. 2. The carriage n is adjusted by a threaded spindle 3.

Abstract: 12,954. James, R. W., [International Cigar Machinery Co.]. Oct. 9, 1913. Cigar-making machines. - The machine is particularly applicable for making Toscani cigars. The tobacco leaf is fed endways on a metallic belt 1003 and cut thereon by a diagonal knife 1044. The cut charge is then pushed sideways off the belt by a plunger 1069, a plate 1080 mounted to move with the plunger preventing the tobacco from being displaced. The charge is received on an elevator 1089, and when the top plate or bar 1095 has descended on the charge, the elevator descends and the charge is forced by a plunger 1114 into a compressing- mechanism. Both the plunger 1069 and the elevator 1089 are operated by overhead levers and cams on the main shaft. A roller 1033 rests on the tobacco on the feed-belt 1003 and operates a pointer 1040 for indicating the thickness of the tobacco layer. The knife is cleaned by means of a spring plate 1063, which is operated by the knife as it rises and falls.

Granted: 1915-12-23
Abstract: 24,630. Jones, W., and Jones & Attwood. Dec. 24. Fluids, regulating volume of flow of; combinations of interdependent valves; actuating. -The contents of tanks for purifying sewage, particularly by the method of aerating in presence of bacterial sludge, are discharged by continuously withdrawing the upper layers. The liquid from a tank 1 is discharged through a pipe 2 surmounted by a series of valve rings 3 seated one upon the other and connected by studded pins 4 passing through bosses 5. The rings 3 are lifted in succession by a bucket 10, which is filled slowly by a tap 14 from a cistern 13, which receives liquid through a tap 15. The bucket 10 is emptied by a valve 17 contacting with a stop 18, and the weight of the rings returns them to the closed position. The lowermost ring which retains the sludge in the tank is not raised by the bucket 10. In place of the rings 3, straight sliding bars or slats forming a weir in the sides of the tank may be used. The bucket 10 may hang in the tank 1. A floating siphon tube 26, Fig. 5, supported by an annular float 25, and which comes into action when a discharge valve in the tube 2 is opened, may be used. The valve is actuated by a device consisting of a bucket receiving liquid from the tank 1 through a regulated tap and connected by a cord passing over pulleys to a float in the tank. The cord carries projections which contact with projections on a shaft to operate compressed air valves to admit air to devices for opening or closing the sewage-supply valve, the air-supply valve for aeration of the sewage, and the sewage-discharge valve in sequence. The float 25 may be arranged to support the ends 30 of the siphon tubes out of the liquid when empty and be supplied with liquid from a regulated tap, to immerse the ends 30. The liquid is discharged from the float through valves opened when the float contacts with stops on the bottom of the tanks.
