Title: Improvements in and relating to the Steering of Rail Vehicles.
Inventor: PINTNER LUDVIK
IPC: B61F5/38
Filed: 1912-08-14
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 18,678. Pintner, L. Aug. 14, 1911, [Convention date]. Axle-trucks and bogies. - Radial axles are connected at their ends and middle points, or at their ends only, with a system of links and levers pivoted also to the body so that lateral movement of the axles upon entering a curve causes them to assume a radial position. The devices are shown in connexion with a body suspended by links from springs mounted on the axle-boxes which have the necessary freedom of movement in their guides. Fig. 3 shows one arrangement according to which bellcranks 9, 10 and a lever 14 pivoted upon the body are connected together and to the axleboxes and centre of the axle by links 5-7, 8-6, and 11-12. The lever 14 may be connected to the motor casing instead of to the axle, or this lever may be dispensed with and the link 11-12 connected to an arm, such as is shown in Fig. 11, rigid with the motor casing. According Fig. 5, a three - armed lever 7, 8, 18 pivoted to the body at 17 is employed. This Figure also shows how the links 5-7 &c. may be attached to points 5<1> on the axles instead of to the axle-boxes. The pivot 14 may be arranged on the other side of the axle to that shown, the lever being suitably extended. Fig. 8 shows the arrangement of levers 7-11, 8-12 and a three-armed lever 18 connected directly to the axle, but a fourth lever may be interposed between the arm 18 and the axle as shown in Fig. 5. In the form shown in Fig. 11, a bell-crank 10 has a pin-and-slot connexion 22 with an extension 21 of the motor casing. The two axles may be connected by a beam 26, Fig. 13, pivoted thereto at 27, 28. In this case, the links 11-12 may be pivotally connected at their middle points, directly to this beam or, as shown in Fig. 13, to levers pivoted at 29 on the beam and at 30 to the body. The connexion with the middle point of the axle may be dispensed with. Fig. 15 shows one arrangement. The bell-crank is pivoted to the body at 9 as before and the lever 13-14 pivoted to the axle-box at 15, has a sliding pivot connexion 14 with the body. In Fig. 17 the pivot 14 is fixed and a link connexion 15-15<a> is provided for the axle-box. The lever 13-14 may be dispensed with on one side of the vehicle, the corresponding movement of the axle-box on this side being effected by a link connecting the two bell-cranks, the arrangement of Fig. 3 being followed in this respect. Toothed segments engaging racks on the links may be substituted for the bell-cranks or flexible straps attached to segment wheels take the place of the links and bell-cranks.

Filed: 1913-07-30
Granted: 1914-07-09
Abstract: 17,452. Foley, J. S. July 30. Locking nuts.-To enable a nut or screwed cap to be locked on a bolt, the diameter of the threaded part of the bolt is greatest at a point a near its outer end, the diameter gradually decreasing towards each end, and the nut b has an extension c formed with one or more slits and with a conical end. By engagement with a conical recess in the part against which the nut bears, such as a washer e, the extension c is contracted so as to grip the reduced portion of the bolt. The nut b may also be slit. The reduced diameter at the end of the bolt facilitates the application of the nut. If the extension c only is slit, the slits may be of L or T shape to give greater resilience. The device is applicable to nuts or rings for securing detachable hubs of vehicle wheels.

Abstract: 796. Nicholson, T., and Barron, L. R. Jan. 12. Recording signals.-A device for recording the signals given by a ship's telegraph, and the time at which these signals are given, comprises a pair of time-indicating printing-dials, a roller with a printing-surface provided with type to correspond with the signals on the telegraph to which it is geared, and hand-operated means for taking impressions of the indication of the dials on a continuous roll of paper. The time-indicating dials 3, 4 are fixed to a plate 2 and are recessed to receive disks 3<a>, 4<a> carrying the indicating- hands 5, 6. The minute-indicator is driven by bevel - gearing from the minute-arbor of a clock 1, while the hour - indicator is driven by worm gearing from the minute - indicator spindle. The order indicator 13 is driven by bevel-gearing from the telegraph ; or, according to the Provisional Specification, chain gearing may be used. A printing-roller 19 rotated by hand may be fitted to give the day of the month. A strip of paper passes from a roll 23 over a reciprocating impression plate 24 and in front of a carbon ribbon 21 to a roll 27, and is fed forward each time an impression is taken by friction rollers 26 rotated by ratchet mechanism operated by a hand-lever 32. The impression plate, which slides on pins 29, is normally held out of contact with the paper by springs 28, but is adapted to be pressed into contact by a lever 30 operated by the hand-lever 32. According to the Provisional Specification, the strip of paper passes round a rubber-covered roller, which works in a frame adapted to be reciprocated in guides by a lever, which also takes the pressure off the dial plate. The roller is returned to take the impression by chains or wires fixed to a spring drum on to which the paper is fed.

A distributor c' is provided to ensure the admixture of the fluids. In a modification, a Bourdon-tube device is used. The chamber i may comprise a cylinder containing a piston. Instead of the chamber containing expansible fluid, a compound bent strip of two different metals, or system of rods or bars of different metals, may be used. The apparatus is suitable for hot air or gas which is cooled by the admixture of steam, air, or other cooling gas or fluid. The resulting fluid may be used in steam-engines, hammers, pumps, gas-engines, or turbines.

Abstract: 23,130. Allais, A. L. E. Nov. 26. Projectiles; projectile fuses. -Relates to bombs intended to be dropped from aircraft and comprising an inner shrapnel shell secured to an outer casing by a screwed piece carrying rear guiding-wings, the impact of the bomb on the ground causing the expulsion of the inner shell upwards and its own explosion in the air. According to the invention, (1) the inner shell c is only partly inserted into the outer casing b and is held in position by a ring of soft metal p clamped between the casing b and a screw ring e carrying guiding-wings d, and (2) the firing-pin f is fixed to the front end of the inner shell opposite the percussion cap g against the nose of the outer casing. On impact, the ring p is sheared, and the inner shell sinks into the outer casing and causes the firing-pin to strike the percussion cap; an explosive charge h is thus fired and expels the inner shell upwards, and this shell is exploded in the air by a time-fuse m. A ring s is provided for handling the bomb.
