Title: Improvements in the Steering of Aeroplanes and other Air Craft.
Inventor: RICHARDS REJINALD FREDERICK
IPC: B64C13/00
Filed: 1911-08-02
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 17,602. Richards, R. F. Aug. 2. Steering and balancing.-The tail plane of an aerial machine is in two parts which are independently pivotable about axes inclined to the longitudinal axis so that each part is warped. As shown in Fig. 1, the tail comprises two parts 1 hinged or otherwise secured to the machine along axes 2, 4. At the rear the planes are secured to spars 6 pivotable about axes 7 carried by a box 8 which can turn about a tubular axis 9; the axis 9 can move in a vertical slot in a stern post 5. Elevating-tips 11 are mounted at the rear of the tail plane. The spars 6 are held in position by spring pins 40 engaging notched quadrants 43 on the box 8, and they are raised and lowered by ropes 20 operated from pedals 19. The pull on the ropes 20 first releases the spring pins and then rotates the spars. The box 8 is locked to the axis 9 by a similar pin 40, and is rocked about its axis by cords 15 connected to arms 14 secured to a rotatable pillar 13 which forms a back-rest. When the machine tilts laterally, the operator instinctively moves in the opposite direction and causes the tail on the raised side of the machine to be raised so as to make the machine turn towards that side. The axis 9 can be raised and lowered in a slot 33 in the post 5 by a cord 26 connected to an eye which is caused to move longitudinally by a worm-wheel 24 and worm 25. Elevators 11 are operated by drawing up or down a floating rod 31 connected by an elastic member 32 with the tips 11. The rod 31 is raised and lowered by cords 30 connected to a hand-lever 29 and passing through the bolt 9. Roller and hall bearings are used to facilitate movements of the parts, and the cords are passed through the axis 9 and over pulleys 37. Further pulleys 17, 22 are carried by a post 18. Planes, arrangement and construction of. - The planes 1 are preferably non-lifting and are shaped in longitudinal section, as shown by 54, Fig. 7. They are hinged or fixed along the. inclined axes 2, 4. The spars 6 may be fixed to their front or rear edges.

Title: Improvements in Reversing Gear for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: F01L13/00

Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 17,688. Lake, W. E., [Aachener Stahlwaarenfabrik Fafnir - Werke Akt. - Ges.]. Aug. 3. Reversing. - A premature explosion for reversing is produced by actuating the fuel pumps of one or more cylinders by the driving-members normally actuating the pumps of cylinders the cranks of which are oppositely directed. On moving the reversing lever v, the cams f, h which normally work the pumps b, d of cylinders II, III (not shown) are moved to work the pumps a, c of cylinders I, IV to give a reverse impulse. As the crank shaft reverses, the friction-driven sleeve p moves the rod o until the slotted bar m engages a stop and the cams e, f, g, h are moved to their normal positions for reverse running.

Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Testing the Eyesight.
Inventor: BLACK HUGH MILNER
IPC: A61B3/02

Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 18,819. Black, H. M. Aug. 21. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Sight-testing apparatus.-Relates to apparatus in which the acuity of vision is measured by the ability of the person tested to detect a gap in a straight line. Means are provided for simultaneously varying the thickness of the line and the width of the gap. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a pin 4 which can be moved along an horizontal slot 3 in the front of the apparatus engages also with an inclined slot 5 in the plate 6, so that by moving the pin the plate can be raised to cover the line 7. The plate 6 also has an horizontal slot 8 in which is engaged a member 9, of black material, by means of a pin 10; this pin also engages an inclined slot 12 in a member 11 of white material. When the plate 6 moves upwards, the relative horizontal motion of these two members effects the narrowing of the gap. The members 9, 11 can be moved together along the slot 8 by means .of cords 13, 14. In a modification, several gaps are employed, means being provided for completely covering any of them at will; the pin 4 carries a pointer which moves over a scale to indicate the distance at which a person with normal eyesight could distinguish the gap.

Filed: 1911-11-14
Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 25,358. Schrage, H. K. Nov. 21, 1910, [Convention date]. Alternating - current commutator machines.- To regulate the speed and improve the power factor of single-phase and polyphase motors, each phase of a polyphase secondary winding is short-circuited through a variable portion of a closed commutator winding which acts as a regulating winding. According to one modification, the primary winding P, Fig. 1, of the motor is on the rotor and is connected to the mains through slip-rings and brushes; and the regulating winding R is likewise placed on the rotor and is connected to a commutator on which rest three pairs of brushes a1, b1, a2, b2, a3, b3. The brushes a1, a2, a3 are secured to a common rocker-ring and the brushes b1, b2, b3 are mounted on a second ring, the two rings being independently adjustable. The phases S1, S2, S3 of the stationary secondary winding are connected to the pairs of brushes as shown, and varying portions of the winding R may be connected to the secondary winding by moving the brush-sets relatively to one another. The two rotor windings may be connected together. For single-phase working, the primary winding P may be connected to the single-phase mains through phase-splitting devices. The primary and the regulating winding may be arranged on the stator and the secondary winding on the rotor, the brushes then being rotated.

Title: Improvements in Electric Tablet Systems for Working Single Lines of Railway.
Inventor: BLACKALL ALFRED THOMAS
IPC: B61L23/24
Filed: 1912-01-23
Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 1852. Blackall, A. T., and Jacobs, C. M. Jan. 23. Staff, tablet, and ticket systems.-In addition to direct currents of different polarity for local traffic, alternating currents over the same line wire are used for through traffic. The Figure shows apparatus arranged for connecting up two short sections A-B and B-C to work as one through section A-C when the intermediate cabin is closed. Commutators similar to that described in Specification 424/05 are used, and normally connect the instruments T<1>, T<2> for the section A-B and the instruments T<3>, T<4> for the section B-C, through the line wires l, l<1>. To switch out the cabin B, commutator c is turned counter-clockwise to its second position, whenoe its further movement is prevented by the armature K' of the magnet M<1>. If the instruments T<1>, T<2>, T<3>, T<1> are normal positive currents from instruments T<1>, T<4> energize the polarized relays p<1>, p<2> and thus close the local circuit from the battery b<1> to the magnet M<1> which releases the commutator c for movement to its fourth position. The switches S', S<2> at the end cabins are moved to their middle positions and locked by the armatures K<2>, K<3>. The instruments T<1>, T<4> are thus disconnected from the line wires and the polarized relays p<3>, p<4> put in circuit so as to receive current through the switches S<4>, S<7> from the batteries b<2>, b<3>. These relays close the circuits of the magnets M<2>, M<3> and release the switches S<1>, S<2> for completion of their movements to their third position in which the through-token instruments T<5>, T<6> are connected to the line wires l, l<1>. Alternating currents may thus be sent from these instruments T<5>, T<6> to the alternating current relays R<1>, R<2> which close the circuit of the magnet M<1> and release the cummutator c for movement to its sixth position in which the line wires l, l<1> are connected together to put the through-token instruments in circuit to work trains from station A to station C in one section. To restore the normal condition of working the commutator c is moved to its fifth position and locked by the piece K<1>. If the instruments T<5>, T<6> are normal, current from these may be caused to energize the relays R<1>, R<2> and so allow the commutator to be moved to its third position. Switches S<1>, S<2> are next turned to their middle position and current sent from the battery b<2> over the switch S<5> to the relay p<3> and from the battery b<3> over the switch S" to the relay p<4>. The switches S<1>, S<2> are thus released to be moved to their first position and connect the instruments T<1>, T<4> to the line wires. The relays p<1>,p<2> are next energized by current from the instruments T<1>, T<4> and serve to release the commutator c for movement to its first position, in which the line wires are connected to the instruments T<2>, T<3>. Specification 8225/11 is referred to.
