Granted: 1914-01-23
Abstract: 498. Finck, C. Nov. 23, 1913. Weighing indirectly the liquid contained in tanks.-Relates to that type of apparatus for ascertaining the weight of liquid in a tank or the like, wherein a measuring-member in the form of either a vessel for receiving a portion of the liquid, or of a float for displacing a portion of same is employed, this measuring- member and the tank having similar crosssectional areas. According to the invention, the measuring-member b, Fig. 1, which is connected to the tank a by a flexible tube m is provided with interior plates e, f, g, Fig. 4, so shaped as to give the same ratio at all levels .between the effective cross-sectional areas of the measuring-vessel and those of the tank. The weight of the measuring - member itself is balanced by means of a pair of guided floats h on which the measuring-member rests, and the weight of the contained liquid is ascertained by means of a balance d. The weight of liquid in the tank can then be calculated. The balance may be graduated to give directly the weight of tank liquid. In a modified apparatus, a float provided with plates such as e, f, g and immersed in the liquid is used instead of the member b.

Inventor: WATKINS ARTHUR ANDERSON
IPC: F16H15/12
Filed: 1914-07-11
Granted: 1914-10-15
Abstract: 943. Watkins, A. A. July 11. Variable-speed friction and chain gearing.- In a change-speed friction gear, suitable for motor-vehicles, of the kind in which an intermediate axially-movable roller engages driving and driven disks not in axial alinement, and speed change is produced by raising or lowering the roller, a single hand-lever is employed for adjusting the roller and for locking it in an adjusted position. The intermediate roller C; which engages driving and driven disks A, B, is mounted in a frame D adapted to slide on a bar G supported by pivoted levers H. Sectors J on the levers H engage sectors on a shaft L connected through link-work to a hand-lever V. Instead of sectors, cams or eccentrics may be employed. A rack N connected to the frame D is adapted to be engaged by a toothed jaw 0 operated by an eccentric on a spindle Q coupled to the lever V. The lever V is movable in two directions at right-angles. In one direction of movement, the shaft L is operated to lift or lower the roller C and thereby alter the gear; in the other direction, the shaft Q is operated to lock the roller in its adjusted position. The driven shaft F is movable axially to bring the disk B into and out of engagement with the roller C, and a roller a coupled to the driving-shaft E can be brought into contact with the disk B for the purpose of obtaining a reverse drive. Motion can be transmitted between the shafts E, F by means of a chain drive, the chain-wheel j on the driven shaft being coupled thereto by a friction clutch. The movable member k of this clutch engages a rib on the shaft F when being brought into action, and thereby moves the shaft axially to remove the disk B from engagement with the roller C. A. spring m serves to maintain the disk Band roller C in contact, and a spring R presses the roller C into contact with the disk A.

Granted: 1914-03-02
Abstract: 1269. Dornes, R. A. Dec. 1, 1911, [Convention date]. Hydrocarbon oils, distilling and cracking: rectifiers.-In fractionating oil, the oil vapour or the mixture of oil vapours and steam from a vapour-generator is passed through a series of fractionators, each constructed with cold and hot zones, whereby the vapours entering each fractionator are partly condensed, and the condensate is partly revaporized. The hot zone is formed by an annular jacket t<6> to which steam &c. is admitted; the. cold zone may be formed by atmospheric cooling, or by admitting water to an annular jacket t'. Thermostatic valves t<8>, t<3> control the steam and water supply. The oil vapours enter the fractionator by a pipe n<20> provided with perforations n<14> delivering the vapours in jets against the walls of the fractionator between the hot and cold zones, and then pass upwards through a layer of glass-wool or slag n<16>, supported bv a basket n<15>. The oil and water of condensation flow away from the base ot the tractionator by pipes t<23>, t<17>, the latter being fitted with a valve t<20> under the control of a float t<19> operated by the water-oil level in an auxiliary casing t<18>. The fractionators in the series are maintained at successively diminishing temperatures and pressures. The invention is particularly adapted for use in the means for distilling and cracking oils described in Specification 27,615/12.

Title: Improved Automatic Car Coupler.
Inventor: WILLISON JOHN
IPC: B61G3/16
Filed: 1915-05-20
Abstract: 7588. Willison, J. May 20. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Couplings, automatic. - In an automatic coupling of the vertical-plane type in which twin coupler-heads pivoted to swing laterally are locked together by the overlapping of two gravity-controlled blocks, one in each couplerhead, the movement of each block is arranged to be substantially horizontal. For this purpose, each block g is formed on one side with an horizontal rib g<1> engaging a groove b<1> in the wall of the coupler-head. For retracting the block in uncoupling, an inclined groove g<6> on its other side is engaged by a projection k carried by a bar i, which is mounted to slide vertically in the coupler-head and is adapted to be lifted either from above by links connecting the top of the bar to an arm on a transverse operating-shaft, or from below by the mechanism shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In this arrangement, a bar o having projections o<1>, o<2> on its upper and lower edges is slidably mounted at one end in a slot e<2> of a bracket supported from the vehicle, its other end being pivoted by a slot o<3> on a bolt n at the bottom of the bar i. The bar o is operated to lift the bar i by rods q embracing the bar o between the projections o<1>, o<2> and the slot e<2> and supported in brackets at the sides of the vehicle. A lock-set device is provided in the form of a block h adapted to slide in a rearwardly and obliquely directed recess b<2> in the side wall of the coupler, and to tilt about the lower outer edge of the recess. When the block h is pushed inwardly by the co-operating coupler-head, its rounded inner end rides up on to the upper surface g<2> of the rib g<1>. Upon retraction of the block g, the inner end of the block h falls into engagement with a notch g<3> in the rib g' and serves to hold the block g retracted until the coupler-heads are separated, whereupon the block h moves outwardly and the block g moves forwardly by the action of the weight of the bars i, o. The movements of the block g may be facilitated by the provision of an antifriction roller v.
