Abstract: 15,138. Pieper, H. July 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Railway locomotives and tramway engines, internal-combustion engine.-Each axle of a locomotive or other motor-vehicle is directly driven by one or more cylinders of an internalcombustion engine, all the axles being coupled together to preserve the relative phases of the cylinders, so that the whole power unit is the equivalent of a single multi-cylinder engine having its moving parts balanced. Fig. 1 shows the application to a vehicle having four axles, each axle being driven by one cylinder, the engine cranks being arranged as shown. The cylinders are directly mounted on the axles and are connected to the main frame by springs 10. The axles are coupled by rods 11 so that explosions occur regularly in the order of the cylinders 1, 2, 4, 3. Engines working on either the two-stroke or four-stroke cycle may be employed. Modifications are described for vehicles having two or three axles, driven by engines having horizontal cylinders, the cranks in the latter case being coupled in the positions corresponding to a multi-cylinder engine with cranks at 120 degrees. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, each axle of a locomotive having two bogies is driven by a two-cylinder engine, the bogie axles being coupled in pairs, although all the axles may be coupled.

Granted: 1914-10-05
Abstract: 22,406. Western Electric Co., Nash, G. H., and Grace, B. B. Oct. 4. Telephone hand-sets.-Relates (1) to a telephone hand-set, the parts of which can be easily assembled and adjusted, (2) to means by which the necessary circuits are opened by hanging up the instrument, and (3) to the design of a hand-switch. The handle is made in two halves, of which the half 1 has flanges 3, 4 with holes 7 into which fit pins carried by similar flanges on the other half of the handle. The current-leads 38 pass into the instrument through a tube 13 upon which the transmitter 12 is adjustably fixed by means of the screw 14. This tube bears a plate 17 which is slotted at the edges so as to slide on the flanges 3, 4. The tube is kept in any one of several positions by a screw 49 which holds the halves of the handle together. The plate 17 has a vertical part 36 which carries the terminals 37, and in order that there may be no strain on these, the current-leads 38 are braided round bushings 44, 45, which surround the screws 14, 49. The current-leads to the receiver 9 are led through a tube 10 similar to the tube 13, and having a sliding plate 15 with a vertical part 180 bearing terminals and contact-springs and an horizontal lug 19 which forms a seating for a spring 24. The means for operating the circuit springs 26, 27, 28 comprise a rod 20 which slides within the tube 10 and is controlled by the spring 24. When the instrument is hung up by the ring 22 attached to the rod 20, the hook 29 on the spring 26 rides downwards over the surface of a cam 21 at the lower end of the rod, thus opening the required circuits. The hand-switch shown in Fig. 2 is designed so that it can be asembled without the use of screws. The key 32 lies in a slot in the casing 1, and has longitudinal grooves into which the prongs of a forked spring 33 can be slid. When the key 32 is depressed, the circuit-springs 31 are disconnected from one another to cut out the transmitter.

Abstract: 22,595. Rau, A. J., and Rau, J. A. Oct. 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Circulating fluids through materials; jigger type; travelling-band type.-Fabries are dyed, or otherwise treated with liquids, in length while subjecting them to hydrostatic pressure on one side only, thus holding them against an endless pervious screen, the dye-liquor being forced through the material. The web of fabric passes from one roll 6 thereof to another 7, or vice versa, the rolls being supported at the top of the apparatus by roller-rests 8, and an upper roller 4 against which the rests 8 lie. The web is supported by an endless screen or apron 3 carried by the upper roller 4, which rotates above the treating-liquor 2 in the vat 1, and by a lower roller 5 near the bottom of the vat. The screen 3 is preferably made of a coarse fabric or network of wire &c. and is supported internally by a number of guiderollers 10, and its edges are guided by overhanging battens 11, which also cut off communication between the inner and outer parts of the bath. Outside a frame 9, which supports the guide - rollers 10, filter - screens 12 may be fixed and held in place by movable struts 15. These screens 12 comprise a metal sheet 13 and an outer sheet 14 of fabric. The liquor circulation and hydrostatic pressure are preferably produced by a pair of propellers 16 in the base of the vat, communicating with vertical ducts 17, which themselves communicate with the suction chamber 18 between the sets of rollers 10. The liquor withdrawn passes down the ducts 17 to the outer chamber 19. The lower end of the apron is encased against an upward flow by a boxing 20, the lower roller 5, preferably, having grooves 21 to receive metal heads 22.

The knife co-operates with a pivoted U-shaped member 36 which is turned into the position shown by a cam 41 on the cylinder 2. During cutting, the web 20 is held by a pair of spring-pressed feet 33 guided by cross-pins engaging slots in the knife. The cut sheets are forced by the member 28 into a hollow member 38 carried by the member 36. To enable the cutting-mechanism to be rendered inoperative, the supports 29 are mounted on pivoted carriers 50 which may be turned to move the supports clear of the rollers 31.

Abstract: 27,645. Szeliga, A. Dec. 1. Kinematograph apparatus.-Fires are prevented in kinematographs by automatic devices which sever the film if ignited and stop the motor and cut off the light if the film does not feed correctly. A switch 45, Fig. 4, is normally held closed by an inflammable cord 50. If the film ignites, the cord is destroyed, and springs open the switch, breaking the connexion between contacts 43 and also between contacts 42, Fig. 8. Magnets 39, 61, 62 are de-energized and the motor circuit 85 is interrupted. The magnet 39 releases a spring- actuated knife 27, which severs the film and at the same time opens the projecting-light circuit at 36 and closes the auditorium-lights circuit at 37. Magnets 61, 62 release shutters which close the projection and sight apertures in the enclosure, and at the same time complete a battery circuit at 64, switching in a signal lamp 108 stationel near the conductor of the orchestra. Improper feeding of the film resulting in asudden shortening of the loop, separates contacts 68, 69, Fig. 7, de-energizes a magnet 91, and releases a switch 88, opening the motor circuit at 82 and closing the auditoriumlights circuit at 116. A magnet circuit 67 is opened at 111, allowing a shutter to fall in front of the condenser and cut off the light from the film.

Abstract: 13,024. Spirella Co., [Spirella Co.]. May 27. Stiffeners.-Sinuous garment stays, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, are formed by twisting the transverse portions immediately before forming the loops so as to impart a permanent set thereto to increase the resistance of the stay to flatwise bending and to increase the resiliency thereof. The successive portions are alternately twisted in opposite directions so that when bent the twists all run in the same direction. The resistance to flatwise bending in the direction in which the twists are formed is greater than in the opposite direction, and in the form shown in Fig. 1 is such that the recoil of the wire tends to bring the overlapping portions into close contact. The transverse portions may be straight or curved upwardly or downwardly as shown in Fig. 3.
