Patent GB-191210255-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Means for Reducing or Allaying Dust Raised by Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: MASON SUSANNAH HARKER
IPC: B60S1/62
Filed: 1912-04-30
Granted: 1913-04-30
Abstract: 10,255. Mason, S. H., and Morfoot, J. F. April 30. Dust, preventing rising and spreading of.- In apparatus for reducing the quantity of dust raised by motor-vehicles, in which the dust-laden air is drawn by suction apparatus through conduits adjacent to the wheels and subjected to the action of a water spray in a delivery chamber, the water spray is produced mechanically through the medium of the current of dustladen air discharged from the suction apparatus, supplemented in some instances by the introduction of exhaust products from the engine. The apparatus comprises wheel conduits f connected to a common chamber i for separating leaves, straw, and the like from the dust-laden air before it passes through the fan chamber e, and thence along the delivery pipe h to the conical spraying chamber n. In the chamber n a shaft, preferably inclined as shown, is provided with a fan q rotated by the entering current of dust-laden air. This action may be assisted by the introduction of exhaust products from the engine through a pipe u. The shaft carries a series of plain or vaned disks or pairs of disks separated by spongy material, which receive and atomize drops of water from nozzles r connected to a water tank on the vehicle. The dust-freed air escapes at n<1>, while the damped dust gravitates through the opening t.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Devices for use in Governing the Speed of Water Turbines.
Inventor: HUGUENIN ALBERT
IPC: F03B15/20
Filed: 1912-05-25
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 12,452. Huguenin, A. May 25. Regulating. - Relates to regulating - devices for jet - wheels of the kind in which, on a sudden decrease of load, a deflector moves in front of the jet, thereby allowing the valve to be slowly closed, and consequently avoiding hydraulic shock. The invention consists in the provision of apparatus whereby the deflector is moved at a varying speed according to the conditions of load obtaining at the time of regulation. A nozzle valve 3 in a nozzle 2 is connected to a lever 5 operated by a governorcontrolled rod 4. By means of a lost - motion mechanism 8 and a dash-pot device 13, the valve 3 can be opened quickly, but can only close slowly. The upper end of the lever 5 is formed with a cam-surface engaging a cam-surface on a lever 18 to which a connecting - rod 19 is pivoted. The motion of the lever 18 is accordingly communicated to a piston 20 sliding in a sliding cylinder 21 to the head of which is pivoted a link 27 to which is attached a deflector 15, preferably of a shape similar to a snowplough. The cylinder 21, which is filled with oil, carries a pipe 22 within which slides a fixed spindle 23. When the lever 18 is moved to the left, the movement of the piston 20 is communicated to the cylinder 21 owing to the resistance of the oil therein. When the end of the fixed spindle 23 clears an annular recess 28 in the pipe 22, a larger outlet section is afforded for the oil on the left side of the piston 20. The spring 29 will then return the cylinder 21 to its original position. A valve in the piston 20 enables it to move from right to left in the cylinder 21 with comparative freedom. The cam-surfaces on the levers 5, 18 are designed so that for a uniform rotation of the lever 5 the speed of rotation of the lever 18 increases uniformly. When the turbine, therefore, is running on a light load, the increased distance between the deflector and the jet will be compensated for by the increased speed of the deflector when required for throttling.

Title: Improvements in Signal Installations for Supervising the Relative Positions of Turntables or other Rotating Stations.
Filed: 1912-06-22
Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 14,658. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. June 22. Turntable indicators.-For supervising the relative positions of two or more turntables or the like, a signal installation is provided having a transmitter connected with the receivers at all other stations, and at every station a circuit which depends on the position of parts connected to the transmitter and receiver, the latter being actuated by a transmitter at a distant station, which circuit automatically indicates when the two stations are in certain relative positions. Two stations I, II are shown in Fig. 1, having alternating transmitters G<1>, G<2> with spindles c actuated from the turntables, and receivers E<2>, E'. The energizing-windings e of the transmitters and receivers are connected to alternating mains N, while the armatures fare connected by three equalizing-leads v. The spindles c each carry two insulated brushes k sliding on contact plates s on the receiver spindles. Alarm devices w<1>, w<2> or other signals are in circuit with the brushes which, in certain relative positions of the stations lie on the conducting parts of the plates s and complete the alarm circuit. Supplementary indicating-receivers E<1>, E<1>2 are connected in parallel with the receivers to indicate at distant places, while indicating receivers and transmitters may be provided at the station. Instead of coupling the transmitters and receivers directly by contact devices, each may have a contact device in the indicator circuit.

Abstract: 15,409. Mirus, E. July 2. Machines with reversed or positive types; pad inking-arrangements.-In machines in which the types strike the back of the paper, inking is effected by a pad of character dimensions which is moved automatically from impression position to an inking-device. In the arrangement shown, the pad 1 is secured to a roller 2 and is adapted to be turned from the impression position shown into contact with an ink-ribbon 19 passing over a guide-roller 15. The pad 1 may consist of a segmental or a sector-shaped block let into a roller; or a polygonal block of which all the faces are adapted to serve as pads. The means for turning the pad consists of a pinion 6 gearing with a pinion 4 on the roller and having an arm 7 provided with a pin 13 which engages the slotted end 12 of a link 11 on a lever 10 operated by the universal bar. After impression, the lever 10 is returned by springs 8, 9, 23, and the link 11 turns the pad into contact with the ink-ribbon. The ink-ribbon passes from a spool 17 over guide-rollers 14, 15, 16 to a spool 18, the roller 15 being carried by a spring-pressed lever 21. One of the guide-rollers may be arranged as an impregnating-roller in which case the ribbon need not be previously inked. The inking-device may consist of a pad or a roller.

Abstract: 13,578. Dickson, A. S. June 12. Machines for making; finishing. - In order to eliminate the tendency of wire and other ropes to kink, the reel on which the rope is coiled is supported on a platform rotatable at a regulated speed in either direction, as required, about an axis perpendicular to that of the reel. The rope may be fed to the reel from the rope-making machine, or, when the device is used apart from a ropemaking machine, from the reel on which it was originally wound. Fig. 1 shows a reel a rotatably mounted upon a platform c which can be driven in either direction from any suitable source of power, such as the rope-making machine, by gearing d, e, f, v. A ring i on the platform rests on rollers j, and the pillar g is provided with tall bearings h. The reel a is rotated by gearing t, r from an internally toothed wheel q driven by bevel-gearing m and changewheels o from a belt &c. p. Rollers g<2> support the wheel q. For ropes having the strands twisted oppositely to the direction of twist of the rope, the apparatus may be used to untwist the rope until it assumes its natural permanent condition. Ropes with " Lang's lay" may be given an additional twist to counteract the slight untwisting produced by the "closer" of the rope-making machine.
