Granted: 1914-08-13
Abstract: 13,682. Franchimont, E., and CÚsar, V. June 13. Signals and points, interlocking.-Signals and point-rails are operatively connected with the transverse shafts 24 of an interlocking-apparatus ; the shafts being adapted to be turned by the engagement of arms 21, 22, 23 on them with projections 25 on route planes 1. The arms and the planes are so related that all the points and signals relating to any of the roads of a system are operated by moving the corresponding plane. The planes may be arranged so that the movement of a plane from mid-position towards the operator makes the corresponding road for one direction of travel, and movement away from the operator makes it for the opposite direction of travel. The route-planes are arranged closely side by side in sets of three, and for each set there is an operating-gear by which one of the set is selected and operated. This gear includes a square shaft having a handle 3 and a boss 4 with a lug for engaging a part 2 of a route plane. The shaft slides through a sleeve 5 which has lugs for locking the planes that are not engaged by the lug on the boss 4. The handle 3 is pivoted upon the shaft and has a series of stop notches 7 which engage with the casing. The shaft 24 may be connected directly to signals and points, or may be used to operate other planes parallel to the route planes 1, by lugs such as 26. The route planes may be formed in two parts supported at opposite ends of horizontal levers so as to balance each other, and be moved vertically by the engagement of horizontal operating- bars with arms of the supporting-levers.

Inventor: GIBBS HARRY
IPC: F01B29/04
Filed: 1913-11-14
Granted: 1914-12-17
Abstract: 26,116. Gibbs, H. Nov. 14. Beat valves; cam gears. - In an intereonvertible multi-cylinder air-compressor and compressed air motor, each cylinder is connected to a reservoir through a passage controlled by a spring-pressed ball valve 15 and communicates with the atmosphere by terminal ports 28 and by a passage controlled by two poppet-valves 19, 22. The latter is in the form of a tube surrounding the valve stem and normally held against a squared shoulder by an adjustable spring 25. The valve 19 is held on its seat by a spring 21 and carries projections 26 on its upper surface, which coact with the ball valve. and the valve stem under the valve 19 is fluted. The poppet valves are worked from a cam 7 on the crank-shaft 6 through tappet levers 8 pivoted on a plate adjustable angularly on the crank-shaft. In one position of the plate, the machine acts as a compressor. For the machine to act as a motor to start the main engine of a vehicle, the plate is moved to another position so that the poppet valves are moved sufficiently to unseat the ball valve and admit compressed air in succession to the cylinders. During this admission, the valves 22 close the passages to atmosphere and on the exhaust strokes both poppet valves may be held in such a position as to allow exhaust to pass by the fluted parts of the stem. The ports 28 act as terminal exhaust ports. Intermediate positions of the plate enable variations in the working to be effected. The valve 22 has adjustable packing 23.

Abstract: 29,668. Pr÷tt, C. H. Dec. 23. Hygrometric apparatus; thermometers; calorimeters.-To read off easily the total heat of air, i.e. the free heat in the air if imagined to be dry plus the latent heat of the water-vapour content, a scale of total heats is calculated connected with wet-bulb readings of temperature. To the wet-bulb thermometer f, there are applied a scale b of temperatures, a scale o of total heats, and a scale p giving the moisture in grammes per cubic metre. The scale m of the dry-bulb thermometer d is an ordinary scale of temperatures, and the scale n is a scale of free heat, i.e. the temperature multiplied by the specific heat of air. In the Figure, there are shown curves r, s which are given as samples of two series, representing respectively temperature to relative moisture at constant total heat, and temperature to relative moisture at constant absolute moisture. Either of the thermometers can be used separately, or the two can be used without the curves r, s.

Abstract: 11,338. Loebenberg, L. May 7, 1913, [Convention date]. Pneumatic dispatch apparatus.-At sending or receiving stations a rotary gate 1 is used. containing a chamber 2 closed at one end. The drum is arranged in a casing 4, under pressure or vacuum, to which the sending or receiving tubes are connected. A shoe 5 is pressed against the drum, being attached to a tube 7 passing adjustably through the inside of a stuffing- box. By rotating the drum by the handle 13, a carrier, which has fallen into the tube 11 from the transit tube 10, is received into the chamber 2, and a reverse rotation enables the carrier to be discharged through the pipe 6. An inspection opening may be provided, or electric signals may show the presence of a carrier in the tube 11. Magnets may be employed to rotate the drum. To prevent a second carrier 3<1> from entering the drum, a finger 16 on a spring- pressed lever 15 normally enters an opening in the side of the tube 11 to hold up a carrier until the drum is rotated to the position shown, whereupon a projection 18 on the drum retracts the finger 16. Two chambers may be placed in the drum side by side, one always communicating with the pipe 11 and the other with the pipe 6.

Title: Improvements in Tag Stringing Machines.

Granted: 1914-12-17
Abstract: 16,204. Buckley, L. H. July 7. Making labels. -Comprises a tag-stringing machine of the kind wherein a doubled string is passed through the eyelet of the tag, and the ends of the string are pulled through the loop. The length of string used for each tag is measured by winding it once around the outer peripheries of two segmental blocks p, q. This is effected by a radial tubular winder n carried by a rotating shaft o, the string m passing into the winder at its centre. The end of the string is clamped in a groove in the block q by a spring-controlled pivoted clamp u, which is opened by the winder striking a cam w. A projection x on the clamp bends the string so as to lay it across the clamp. The measured length of string is cut off by a fixed cutter s and a pivoted cutter t actuated by a spring z and a cam. A needle l having a notched end rises through the block p and carries the string through the eye i of a shuttle f, reciprocating on guides g, through the eyelet of the tab b on the table a, and between the jaws of a clamp which are pressed together by springs k. The needle is then withdrawn, and the clamp j, which is carried by a pivoted arm 1 rocked by a spring 2 and a cam-operated link 3, carries the loop over the end of the tag into the position shown in Fig. 6. The shuttle f then advances, and its pointed end enters the loop to enable it to pull the ends of the string through the loop. During this action, the string is caused to move with the shuttle by the clamp j pressing it thereon, and the loop is pulled from the clamp and around the shuttle as shown in Fig. 9. When the ends of the string have been pulled right through the loop, the shuttle is withdrawn, and the tag can be removed. Tag-feeding devices are employed, but are not described.
