Title: A Self-Locking Hand Brake for use on Railway Vehicles, Motor Cars and the like.
Inventor: DADD FRANK ERIC
Filed: 1908-11-25
Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 25,394. Dadd, F. E. Nov. 25. Brakes. - Hand-brakes for motor-cars, railway vehicles, &c. are automatically locked in their 'on' position by a link connected to a plain or toothed wheel rolling over a notched quadrant. The brake lever m, Fig. 1, of a railway truck is loosely mounted on the cross-shaft c and works between two toothed quadrants g stayed by a bar g<1>. A lever d is fixed on the cross-shaft c and is connected by a double rod e to a sliding piece f, pivoted to the lever m and capable of moving between the quadrants g. When the lever m is depressed, two toothed wheels k on the sliding piece f roll over the quadrants g, which are struck with the cross-shaft c as centre, thereby turning the lever d until the reaction in the rods e forces the wheels k hard against the notches of the quadrants. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the lever d is connected by a rod u, a link 3, and a lever w to a spindle z on which the brake lever m is fixed, a wheel v, carried by the rod u, working on a notched arc 2 bolted to the hanger. In another modification the wheel v is carried by the link 3, and the arc 2 is bolted to one side of the hanger.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Metering and Transforming Electrical Energy.
Inventor: WILSON ERNEST
IPC: H01F38/22
Filed: 1909-03-18
Granted: 1910-03-18
Abstract: 6504. Wilson, E., and Wilson, W. H. March 18. Transformers.-Transformers and auto-transformers are combined with energy meters of the induction type. Figs. 2 and 3 show the connexions for a combined auto-transformer and meter. According to Fig. 2, the total energy delivered into the system is measured, with the exception of that dissipated in the series coil 4; according to Fig. 3, the energy absorbed by the work circuit 2 and in the coil 4 is alone measured. Fig. 6 shows the arrangement of the coils 4, 5, and 6 on the core of the transformer, which is similar to the usual inductionmeter core except that the slot 13 does not wholly interrupt the magnetic circuit. The usual series compensation coil 14 is idded, the rotating part occupying the air-gap 15. The coil 14 may be dispensed with by making this air-gap of equal width. Short-circuited coils are added to compensate for out-of-phase currents. By suitable adjustment of the ampereturns of the coil 4, magnetic shielding of the rotating member becomes unnecessary. The magnetic circuit 12 may be divided into two portions which may be magnetically insulated, one of which includes the series coil and rotating member. In the case of an ordinary transformer, the primary and secondary windings replace the coils 5, 6 on the apparatus. Fig. 5 shows the connexions for a combination of a transformer, an auto-transformer, and a meter. The transformer comprises a primary winding 8 and two secondaries 10, 11. The auto-transformer comprises the coils 5, 6. All these coils are located in the positions occupied by the coils 5, 6, as shown in Fig. 6. Two series coils 4, 4 are used, the distributing-circuit being threewire. Fig. 8 shows connexions for an autotransformer and meter, in which the series ampere-turns are derived from two coils 4, 4<1>, only one of which receives the shunt current. By suitably proportioning these coils, any desired proportion of the energy consumed may be be recorded. Specifications 10,705/98, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.], and 28,652/07 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Cash Delivering Machines.
Inventor: BOEHM LUDWIG
Filed: 1909-06-01
Granted: 1910-06-01
Abstract: 12,885. B÷hm, L. June 1. Money-delivering apparatus. - Relates to money-delivering apparatus of the kind described in Specification 21,066/08, and consists in providing the tappet-blade governing-slides with recesses of different width and depth arranged in groups, and with stops, so that each slide, at each step, successively brings about the delivery of one unit more than in the previous position, whereby the position of the slides determines the number of units to be delivered, the change being delivered in the minimum number of coins, either of the same or different metals. The blades and tappets may be constructed as described in the prior Specification. Fig. 1 shows the four slides of a machine arranged for German coinage, the first slide A' being provided with three groups C', C<2>, C<3> of recesses D for the three coins, one, two, and five pfennigs, the second slide A<2> having groups of recesses for ten- and fiftypfennig pieces, the third A<3> four groups for one, two, three, and five marks respectively, and the fourth slide has groups for ten- and twenty - mark pieces. Each slide can be moved in nine stages, the amount of movement being shown by the pointers G moving over scales H. Each movement sets the slide for a different combination of coins, each combination showing unit increase. The latches B are thereby allowed to move through corresponding amounts to raise the ejecting - tappets. The arrangement of the recesses may be altered, provided the same result is obtained, and, instead of being arranged in slides, may be cut in circular sectors, each mounted on a separate spindle, or all on the same spindle, as shown in Fig. 6. Or the recesses may be cut in disks, one disk being provided for each group, and the groups of disks corresponding to the separate slides mounted on separate hollow spindles. Each group of disks may be replaced by a roller. Double reservoirs may be provided, as for twenty-mark notes and coins, and slides are arranged for them above or next to each other, in such a way that relative adjustment between the slides and latches can be made. Fig. 11 shows a means for adjusting the disks K by means of forks N so that, for instance, notes or coins may be alternately paid out. By providing more than one group of recesses on disks K, change of a certain amount may be paid in different combinations of coins, means being provided for varying the relative position of the disks of a group.

Abstract: 24,502. Ewing, H. Oct. 25. Springs, arrangement of; axles.-A system of springs for vehicles, independent of the bearing-springs, permits road shocks to be met by an upward and rearward movement of the wheels with respect to the body. A link is pivoted at its upper end to some member of the frame or bogie, and at the lower end to the axle ends, and is maintained in its central position by springs. The axle arrangements are specially modified as shown in the Figures to adapt themselves to the longitudinal freedom. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 relate to the front wheels of motor-vehicles. The steering-pivot is surrounded by a member 5, having at its upper end an horizontal roller bearing 7, which forms the upper pivot of the link 8, the lower end being attached to the stub-axle 9. Springs 11, 13, 15 are carried on a rod which passes through projections 10, 12 on the member o and tne link. The link 8 is displaced from its vertical position to the position shown in Fig. 2, when an obstacle is met, the central spring 15 preventing forcible impact on the return. Figs. 5 and 6, show an arrangement for the rear wheels of motor-vehicles. The axle 18 is upturned at the ends, where it has bearings to take the links 24; and brackets 26 jut out from the elbow to support the rod 29. The central part is bent to clear the differential case; and on the part 18 a vertical pillar 20 is carried to take a link 21 which, in conjunction with the links 24, supports the whole of the driving shaft or axle 22 and the differential gear. Ball joints allow the wheels to move rearwards independently of each other. The link 24 has, at its lower end, a bracket 28, which supports the rod 29 with the help of a bracket 26. The springs may be supplemented by a weaker spring 32 to take light shocks. Fig. 7 refers to a bogie for a vehicle intended to move in both directions. The springs are placed on rods 41, of which there are two to each wheel, the rods being bent &c. the necessary shape, and carrying light and heavy springs as before.
