Title: Improvements in or relating to Tire Valves.
Inventor: CARLISLE FRED BURTON
IPC: F16K15/20
Filed: 1911-04-25
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 10,023. Carlisle, F. B. April 25. Tyre and like inflating-valves. - In a valve for pneumatic tyres of the kind comprising a valve member b seated at the end of an outer tubular casing a and an inner tube e adapted to conduct air to the valve and capable of being shifted longitudinally to lift the valve from its seating, the inner tube and outer casing have an annular space between them by way of which, on the valve being opened, the air can escape. The enlarged end e<3> of the inner tube e has a shoulder e<4>, which engages a corresponding seat on the casing a when the valve is in use, and prevents air being pumped into the valve from returning by the space between the inner and outer tubes. The inner tube is moved with relation to the outer tube a by an actuating-nut f, which has oppositely screwed internal threads f<2>, f<3> for co-operating with threads a<6>, e<2> of the outer and inner tubes a, e. The inner tube is prevented from turning by means of projections e<5> engaging slots a<7> in the outer tube.

Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 13,375. Walker, J., and Turnbull, J. June 3. Closed solid-fuel stoves; drought, regulating. -The draught in continuous-burning, and particularly anthracite, stoves is regulated by allowing air to pass to the chimney without traversing the fire or ash-pit, the quantity of air thus passing being controlled by the means regulating the flow of air through the fire. Fig. 1 shows a stove with passages M connecting air ports B at the base of the stove to ports M<1> leading to a flue M<2> and the chimney M<3>. These ports are controlled by valves E mounted in pockets L and guides C, and operated by tails I on the lower edge of the ash-pit door J, so that when the door is closed or opened, the valves E are opened or closed. Air enters the pockets L through apertures at the sides of the base A.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Systems of Electric Lighting.
Inventor: RUSHMORE SAMUEL WILLIS
IPC: H02J7/20
Filed: 1911-06-19
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 14,478. Rushmore, S. W. June 19. Lighting systems.-A resistance having a high positive temperature - coefficient is placed between a variable-speed dynamo and its load, and a switch is placed in the shunt field circuit of the dynamo to break this circuit when the battery is fully charged. In the arrangement shown, a resistance 3 having a high positive temperature - coefficient is placed between a dynamo 1 and the battery and lamp load 11, 12. A switch 4, arranged to connect the dynamo and its load, is provided with a shunt winding 9 in series with the shunt winding 2 of the dynamo and a switch 15; a demagnetizing series field winding 18 is placed across the resistance 3. When the dynamo 1 is generating the required voltage, the switch 4 connects it to the load circuit through contacts 10, 10' and resistance 3, and, while the speed of the dynamo is normal, the current flowing through the resistance 3 has but little effect upon the value of this resistance. At abnormal speeds, however, the value of the resistance 3 is greatly increased, and a larger current is shunted through the demagnetizing- winding 18 of the dynamo, thereby diminishing its voltage. When the battery 11 is fully charged, the switch 15 operates to open the circuit of the shunt field winding 2 and winding 9 of the switch 4, the switch 4 then operating to disconnect the dynamo 1 from the battery and lamp load.

Abstract: 13,370. Doyle, W. E. June 6. Jacks.-Tip-over lifting-members for raising motor-cars and other vehicles, of the kind that are pivotally mounted on the vehicle and, when lowered on to the ground, lift the vehicle with equal facility when it is moved either forwards or backwards, are constructed with locking- mechanism which prevents them from moving in either direction when the vehicle is in the raised position. Fig. 1 shows one construction in which a member a is pivoted to the axle b through the medium of an adjusting-eccentric f. A lower member carrying a curved shoe k and roller k<1> slides in the member a and has a pin-and-slot connexion therewith. Internal and external shock-absorbing springs separate the two members. The locking-mechanism comprises a hand-lever and notched quadrant u connected to the road-engaging member through the medium of the connecting-rod l and shockabsorbing springs p. Various constructions of fixed and detachable rollers and curved roadengaging feet are illustrated, which may be substituted for the roller k<1>. Fig. 2 shows a modified construction which can be collapsed to lower the vehicle independently of the lever and notched quadrant. In this case the lower member slides in an additional cylinder D, which has a pin-and-slot connexion with the member a a.nd is also connected thereto by a torsional spring J. A screwed cap provided with a handle Z retains the lower member within the cylinder D. On the handle Z being rotated against the action of the spring J, the pins G are rotated into alinement with the vertical portions of their slots, and the members a, D are then collapsed by the weight of the vehicle. When the apparatus is lifted clear of the ground, the members a, D are separated by the compression springs, and the pins G are restored by the torsion spring to the position shown.

Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 24,550. Vassberg, G. A. Oct. 26. Station, stopping-place, and like indicators.- A ratchet device used in a system for indicating the position of a train comprises a frame carrying an armature, the frame having pawls adapted to drive a ratchet-wheel in either direction. The electro-magnets which control the armature are in circuit with switches which are controlled from a wheel of the train. The armature 18 and bow 23 are mounted in a frame 20 by means of a pin 19, and the first movement of the armature brings a pawl on the bow into gear with the ratchet-wheel. The further movement of the armature carries the frame with it and moves the ratchet-wheel in one or the other direction according to whether the magnet 16 or the magnet 17 has been energized. Stops 25 are provided to limit the movement of the frame and the spring 24 to bring the frame back to normal position. The ratchet-wheel is geared with a pointer which indicates the position of the train. The switch for controlling the magnets comprises three disks 4, 5, 6 mounted on a shaft 3, which is driven from a train-wheel. The disk 5 is fixed on the shaft 3, and the pin 7 on its periphery extends into recesses 8, 9 in the loosely mounted disk 4, 6. The contact members 10, 11 are mounted at opposite ends of the recesses 8, 9, so that one or other of them comes into contact with the pin 7 according to the direction of rotation. The members 10, 11 make contact with strips 12, 13 encircling the disk 4, 6, and the pin 7 touches members 15 on the strips 14 as the disk 5 rotates. One of the magnets 16, 17 is in circuit with the strips 12, 14, and the other with the strips 13, 14, thus rotating the ratchetwheel in one or the other direction according tn the direction of movement of the train.
