Patent GB-191118294-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Spring Suspensions for Vehicles.
IPC: B60G11/36
Filed: 1911-08-12
Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 18,294. Sgal, L., and Lever Spring Co. Aug. 12. [Cognate Application, 24,474/11.] Composite springs; connexions and attachments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.- Relates to spring suspension devices for vehicles, of the type in which rods dependent from the end of the main springs support helical springs on which rest caps sliding on the rods and attached to the dumb-irons, and consists in forming the caps as grease-containing stuffing-boxes about the rods with glands at their ends, and also in an arrangement whereby the caps are independently rotatable upon the bolt that secures them to the dumb-iron. In the form illustrated, the bolt 1, Fig. 1, secured to the main spring carries the rods 2, which are kept in place by the collar 4 and nut 5. A lubricator 6 is screwed to the collar 4. The lower caps 7 are adjustable by means of nuts 8. The bolt 9 attached to the dumb-iron or equivalent device has an enlarged end screwed to the boss 10 of the cap 11, and at the opposite end is screwed to a ring 12 which has a circumferential groove to receive pins 15 which allow rotation but not lateral motion of the ring. Lubricators 20 are also applied to the bosses 10, 13. The boss of each upper cap is extended to form a greasechamber closed by a nut 18 and fitted with a white-metal gland 16. A fibre ring 19 upon the rod 2 fits the chamber loosely to allow most of the grease to pass as the rod reciprocates, a little, however, being ejected at each reciprocation. In a modification, shown in Fig. 3, the head of the bolt 9 enters a recess in the boss of the left-hand cap, and is secured by a disk 22 and bolts 23, and a similar disk 24 with a boss the size of the bolt head is carried by the other cap.

Title: Improvements in Charging Apparatus for Furnaces.
Inventor: GMEINDL JOSEF
IPC: F23K3/06
Filed: 1911-08-25
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 19,096. Gmeindl, J. Aug. 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Charging.-In a feeding-device of the kind comprising a circumferentially pocketed drum which is rotated by the weight of the charge, the motion of the drum is retarded by a liquid brake. As shown, the drum a is formed with perforated radial partitions h which check the flow of liquid and so retard the rotation of the drum. The size of the perforations in the partitions may be adjusted to suit varying conditions by screws projecting through the side walls of the drum, and a ratchet-wheel and pawl are provided to prevent reverse rotation. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the brake drum may be separate from the feeding-wheel but geared thereto; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
Patent GB-191121806-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electro Magnetic Reciprocating Motors.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: H02K33/10
Filed: 1911-10-03
Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 21,806. Lake, W. E., [Dulles-Baldwin Electric Drill Co.]. Oct. 3. Reciprocating machines; electro-magnets.-A reciprocating motor for actuating drills, chisels, riveting-hammers, &c. comprises two or more alined coils 10, Figs. 1, 2, 3, which are spaced apart and are adapted to reciprocate a number of individual cores 19 at high speed owing to the relatively small time-constant of the solenoids. The cores 19 are rigidly held together by pieces 20 which may be of brass &c., or may be integral with the cores. The coils 10 are connected in parallel and are excited and deexcited simultaneously from a battery 36 &c. through a make-and-break switch of special construction, by which the circuit is not broken until the fields of the solenoids have built up completely. A spring 18 returns the plunger to the rear position when the circuits are broken. The switch comprises an insulated contact-plate 34 mounted upon the rear end of the plunger and two contact-fingers 27, 28 pivoted in brackets 25, 26. The finger 28 is kept continuously against the plate 34 by a spring 33. The finger 27 is of magnetizable material, such as steel, and is held in contact with the plate 34 by magnetic attraction. On completing the circuits of the coils 10 at other switch contacts 41, the compound plunger moves forward, and the finger 27 follows in contact with the plate 34 until it strikes the top of the bracket 25, which constitutes the stop. The plunger thereupon carries the plate 34 away from the finger 27 and breaks the circuit, the finger being then snapped back by a coil spring 31 engaging a pin 32 thereon. The finger is prevented from moving back too far by a short spring 29. The plunger is slowly rotated, while operating, by the action of the spring 18 or by the finger 28 so that the plate 34 may present a fresh surface to the fingers each time the circuit is closed. The starting-switch comprises a disk 38 with a bevelled edge adapted to engage the bevelled ends of two studs 41. The stem 42 of the disk slides in a socket 43 and is urged outwards by a spring 44; the switch is closed by pressing upon the tail-piece of a pivoted lever 46. To minimize sparking, a condenser 47 is connected across the contacts of the make - and - break switch.

Abstract: 23,378. Bohlin, S. K., and Edstr÷m, E. M. Oct. 23. Cameras, attaching dark-slides to; envelopes, plate and like. - In an envelope carrier having two telescoping casings a, b, Figs. 1 and 2, the plate or film is secured to an outer casing a having the exposure aperture d. The inner casing b is withdrawn for exposure by pulling the extending tab e and is returned after exposure by pulling the longer tab f which passes through a slot f<1> in the back of the part a. The sides of the slot f<1> are sloped as shown to prevent them from catching the edge of the part b, and a stop h prevents the part b from being withdrawn too for. To secure the carrier in the adapter or camera, the upper part has a socket i, formed by folding- over the material cut from the opening d, by which the carrier is hung on a hinged arm l, Figs. 5 and 6, on the camera. The arm l is recessed and is pressed against a ridge o by the hinged back m. The carrier is also pressed against a guide-rail p, which forces the film slightly inwards and guides the front edge of the part b when it is returned after exposure across the upper edge of the opening d.

Abstract: 25,349. Warwick Machinery Co., [Curtis, C. G.]. Nov. 14. Axial-flow type; balancing moving parts.- Impulse stages b, d are connected to a drum k by webs f, o. The moving blades of a third impulse stage u are directly mounted upon the drum k, while the guide blades are mounted upon a part v secured to the casing. A long drum stage h, which may be of the impulse or reaction type, is mounted upon a drum n. After passing through the stage b, the steam can operate against the dummy piston p owing to perforations in the web f . The admission nozzles situated between the steam-chest a and the first stage b have been omitted from the drawings. The drum k is mounted upon perforated webs m, x, while the drum n is mounted upon a solid web w. Steam leaking past the dummy piston g is thereby led to the stage h to perform useful work. In a modification described in the Provisional Specification, the stage u is omitted and the web o is solid and supports an extension of the drum n. The stage h is supported by perforated webs, so that steam leaking past the dummy piston is led direct to the exhaust.

The coal stove comprises a semicylindrical casing 25 having a grate 26, charging ash doors 27, 28 respectively, and a semicylindrical smoke outlet 29. A space is left behind the coal stove, through which air passes, and is heated and delivered to the room. Spring- pressed pins 7 engaging recesses may lock the apparatus, so that either the gas-fire or coal stove is at the front.

The carriage contains a type-holder, shown in plan in Fig. 7, which is divided by partitions 10 into compartments each of which contains one line of matter to be distributed. The carriage is propelled by a weight 32 and is fed step by step by an escapement operated by the keys of the setting- mechanism so that the bottom type of each line is brought successively over each of the magazine channels, which are provided with selecting- wards. The type-holder can be shifted in the carriage by means of a handle 371 to bring the compartments out of register with the magazine channels and permit the carriage to be brought back to initial position. A removable bar 34 is provided to support the type in the type-holder before distribution is commenced. The types are ejected from the magazine channels 37, Fig. 12, on to a race-plate 5 by plungers 46 operated by bell-crank levers 50 connected to key-levers. The channels are of varying length so that their lower ends lie in an inclined line. The ejected types are guided by an inclined comb-member 54 having vertical teeth.
