Abstract: 12,908. Coanda, H. May 30, 1910, [Convention date]. Planes, arrangement and construction of.-A supporting - surface for flying - machines is formed in cross-section as shown in Fig. 1, the forward portion a c h being rigid and thickened at the front as shown, and the rear part c d h being flexible. The surface is moreover provided at the underside with webs or fins j which are disposed in the line of flight and serve to guide the air currents. Fig. 2 shows planes of this construction arranged to constitute a biplane, the surfaces being set at a dihedral angle. The front parts a of the planes are rigidly fixed to the body of the machine, and the spars k are connected to a vertical bar l pivoted at its centre about an axis in the line of flight. In a modification, the plane is shaped in plan as shown in Fig. 5, and is provided at the ends with radiating webs m, which may be adjusted about pivots at their front ends. Steering and balancing is effected by oscillation of the bar about its pivot either automatically or manually by means of a hand-wheel mounted on the pivot, whereby the spars k are moved as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and the rear parts of the planes are warped in opposite directions. Further, the converging webs m, Fig. 5, are pivoted at their front ends, and may be adjusted by means of wires connecting their rear edges together, thus varying the lengths of the channels enclosed between consecutive webs m and the action of the air thereon. The webs may be provided with springs at their rear ends, so that the adjustment takes place automatically when the machine tilts.

Title: An Improved Water Siren.
IPC: G10K7/02
Filed: 1911-08-02
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 17,598. Signal Ges. June 24, [Convention date]. Sirens.-Relates to water sirens of the drum type, and consists in the provision of separate openings in the siren by which the water is bypassed when the note is cut off so as to equalize the load on the pump. The load on the motor driving the rotor may also be equalized by causing the rotor to act as a reaction-wheel to brake the motor. Fig. 1 shows one form, in which the rotor 6 driven through a shaft 4 is formed with an upper series of holes 7, which intermittently register with holes 13 in a fixed sleeve 12, and, when an outer movable sleeve 14 is in the position shown, water supplied through a port 11 escapes in puffs through openings 15 and produces a signal. To cut off the note, the sleeve 14 is moved to bring the holes 13, 15 out of coincidence, and to open communication between other holes 19 in the sleeve 13 and a second series of holes in the sleeve 14. The lower part of the drum is of smaller diameter so as to leave a passage through which the water escapes continuously. By suitably proportioning the two series of apertures, the flow of water may be kept steady. The lower part of the drum may be so formed, as shown at 22, Fig. 2, that the escaping water, when the siren is silent, has a reaction effect, which is arranged to oppose the motor driving the shaft 4 to an extent equivalent to the load due to the intermittent cutting off of the water when the siren is running. This retarding effect may be obtained by fitting the rotor with impact blades which are acted upon by the issuing stream. In a further modification, the rotor is movable axially to uncover either the sound openings or the by-pass, the sleeve 14 being omitted.

Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 20,484. Weber, R., and Walker, H. Sept. 15. Coating confectioners' goods.-In machine for coating confectionery and like goods with plastic material such as chocolate of the type in which the articles are placed by hand in a reciprocating feed-member which is moved over and dipped into a bath of the coating- material and is then raised to deliver the articles to a conveyer, the feeding, dipping and delivering mechanism is modified. The articles are placed by hand in the upper end of the funnels 7<a> in the front of the reciprocating tray 5, which is actuated by a cam on the shaft 22. During the movement of the tray towards the bath 47<d>, a sliding plate 8 covering the lower ends of the funnels moves with the trav until a trigger is released by a projection 24 on the framing. Spring drums 26 then withdraw the slide and allow the articles to drop into wire dipping-baskets. A row of baskets are pivoted in a frame 30, Fig. 15, and the pivots of each basket are connected to pinions 88 engaged by racks 90. The frames 30 are adjustably suspended from a cross-head 36, which is slidably mounted in vertically sliding guides 38 reciprocated by suitable levers from the cam shaft 22. During the first portion of the downstroke of the cross-head, spring-pivoted levers 52 are released from depending rods 56, and thus a pivoted grid 49 is lowered on to the frame 30 to retain the articles therein during the immersion. After dipping, the articles are shaken to remove superfluous chocolate by vibrating the trays by means of ratchet-wheels 58 engaging depending rods 59<a>. An automatically-operated clutch may be provided on the main driving-shaft to stop all other operations performed by the machine while the vibrating or tapping operation is proceeding. At the upper limit of its stroke the cross-head engages depending forks 78 on the member 57, which is reciprocated by a third set of cam gear on the shaft 22 to bring the basket frames over the delivery table 79. During this movement, the racks 90 are engaged by cam-operated levers 91 to invert the baskets, and on the return movement they are engaged by fixed stops 94 to restore the baskets to their upright position. At the commencement of the return stroke, the cross-head is given an additional lift by means of a swell on the operating-cam to allow the inverted baskets to clear the dumped articles on the table. On the delivery table a paper band is superposed on an endless belt 92. In order to effect a positive removal of any material sticking to the baskets, a vertical set of prongs depending from the member 57 is lowered momentarily by the upward movement of the cross-head so as to enter the meshes of the baskets.

Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 26,738. Soc. Schneider et Cie. Dec. 1, 1910, [Convention date]. Speed - varying mechanism. - Controlling apparatus for hydraulic power - transmission mechanism, specially applicable to the breech mechanism of guns, comprises a slide block receiving movement from the controlled mechanism and formed with cams governing the direction and amplitude of movement of the regulating-part of the hydraulic mechanism. Fig. 1 shows the device in which a shaft a carries a chain wheel b and is provided with a screw-threaded portion a' carrying a nut m, to which is secured the rod k and slide block j. The block has cam portions j<1>, j<2> for controlling the movement of the shaft h. This part operates the regulating-apparatus of the hydraulic transmission mechanism d. An electric motor f rotates the primary shaft e of the hydraulic mechanism. Fig. 3 shows the position of the shaft h and block j in the inoperative position of the mechanism. The lever i secured to the shaft h and carrying the stops h<1>, h<2> may be moved in the upward position to displace the regulating-part and cause the slow movement of the shaft a and nut m. The slide is thus drawn back and the lever i is free to move further by the recessed cam surface j<1>. Further movement of the slide j causes the re-setting of the regulating-part to the zero position. The position of the parts is now as shown in Fig. 6, and downward or reverse movement of the lever i only is possible. This allows the device to be operated to return it to its original position. For example, the breech is brought to its closed position by a slow initial movement, followed by a more rapid but decreasing movement.
