Filed: 1910-01-18
Granted: 1911-01-18
Abstract: 1264. Jones, W., and Mills, S. J. S. Jan. 18. Single - rail vehicles.-A sewage distributor, which carries its actuating water-wheel, is adapted to be balanced upon a mono-rail or midtrack and is intended for use not only with circular filter-beds but also with rectangular. It is provided with a bogie carriage for passing around curves, and with means for proportioning the flow from the weirs during such passage. Upon an axle d is the supporting-wheel e and the two parts D of the water-wheel. The weir pipe F, with its weirs f, parallel pipe E, and bridge pipes G, G<1> constitute the main frame, from which are hung the bearings of the axle d. The pipes E, F are joined at the centre by a member J, to which are pivoted arms K having forked carriers M, which hold supporting wheels k and guidewheels m. The sets of four guide-wheels m are carried on studs m<1> and linked together by rods n. The arms K have rods K', which are coupled by a rod N, so that as the distributor passes from a straight to a curved part of the mono-rail the arms K and wheels k are moved out of line with the cross-piece J. to allow the guide-wheels m to adjust themselves to the curve. The cross-member J supports two antifriction rollers e<1>, e<2>, which bear against the driving-wheel e and move it forwards. The inner part of the distributor slightly overbalances the outer, and is supported by a roller running on a track formed on the upper edge of the supply trough. The axle d is also arranged to carry a roller which engages the underside of the trough A in the event of the outer part of the distributor D overbalancing the inner part. If all the supporting-wheels are swivelled to a rigid frame, then, as the support forms a chord of the circular track, the distributor must be free to move endways in the frame in order to remain balanced over the mono-rail. In such a modification, the axle box h is held by an open frame B<1>, the upper part of which rests on an antifriction roller D<1> supported from the cross-member A<1>.
