Title: An Improved Device for Manipulating or Controlling Aeroplanes.
Inventor: BLACKBURN ROBERT
IPC: B64C13/00
Filed: 1910-07-14
Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 16,802. Blackburn, R. July 14. Steering, control levers for. In a device for controlling three steering-members by a single hand, the handlever a is rotatable about its own axis in a socket p i v o t e d in a bracket f secured to a hollow shaft g. One end of the lever a can rotate in a fork l, and carries a drum q around which are passed the cords leading to the side balancing-planes. The shaft g is formed with slots k at each side through which passes a pin n secured to a sleeve o sliding on the shaft g and engaging with slots p in the limbs of the fork l. The cords t<1>, t<2> for operating the rudder pass through the hollow shaft g ana are connected to the pin n. The cords v<1>, v<2> are connected to a two-armed lever r secured to the shaft g. In operation, by rotating the hand-wheel, the cords s<1>, s<2> are operated ; by moving the wheel to the right or left, the lever a rocks about the pivot e<1> and moves the pin n to operate the rudder-cords t<1>, t<2>, and also to adjust the cords s<1>, s<2> slightly; by moving the hand-wheel up or down, the shaft g is turned and operates the elevator-cords. In a modified form, the bracket f lies on the opposite side of the shaft g to the hand-wheel.

Title: Improvement in and relating to Processes and Apparatus for Separating Solids by Means of a Liquid.
Inventor: PONT FRANCIS IRENEE DU
IPC: B03B5/44
Filed: 1910-07-25
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 17,594. Du Pont, F. I. July 25. Wet separating.-Solids of different specific gravities are separated in a volatilizable liquid other than water, and the liquid adhering to the separated ingredients is vaporized and condensed for re-use. The liquid may be either of greater density than one of the ingredients and of less density than the other, or of greater density than water and of less density than either ingredient. The apparatus comprises a rotary cylinder a containing a helical blade i, a conical extension b having a sectional blade n, a conical extension c having a sectional or perforated blade p, and cylindrical extensions r, s extending through a furnace w and having conveying-blades t. The material to be treated is introduced through a hopper f and conveyer c, and the liquid, which may be stannic chloride, is maintained up to the level j. The rotation of the cylinder a causes a circulation of the liquid in the direction of the arrows j<1>, j<2>, whereby the heavy ingredient is removed through the extension r and hopper u and the light through the extension s and hopper v. Liquid is supplied to the vessel a through a revolving pipe 8, the outer end of which picks up liquid from a vessel 5, the level in the vessel a being maintained constant by means of curved pipes 7 connected with a revolving pipe 4 leading to the vessel 5. Vapour is drawn out of the vessel a through a pipe 20 to a condenser y, the upper part of which communicates through pipes 11 with the hoppers u, v, and liquid from the lower part of the condenser passes through a pipe 25 to the vessel 5. The vessel a is cooled by a water spray 2. The inlet pipe c communicates with a suction device h, to prevent air from entering the vessel a with the material to be treated.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Loading Apparatus for Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A9/42
Filed: 1910-09-19
Granted: 1911-09-19
Abstract: 21,726. Dawson, Sir Ai T., and Horne, J. Sept. 19. Loading-appliances.-Relates to buffers for arresting the motion of a chain or telescope rammer, and consists in arrangements of hydraulic buffers, or of a device for gradually cutting-out the motor, whereby the rammer is brought to rest without shock both at the end of its inward strokes, and at the end of the outward projectile-ramming stroke. Fig. 1 shows the buffers applied to a chain rammer A. The buffer for arresting the rammer at the end of the projectile-ramming stroke comprises a cylinder B mounted upon the ramming casing A<1>, and containing a differential piston b. The cylinder B is under constant fluid pressure, the effect of which is normally to hold the piston in the position shown. A groove b<2> in the wall of the cylinder enables liquid to pass the piston when the latter is moved inwards. A projection a on the end link of the rammer engages towards the end of the ramming stroke, with a spring- controlled tappet lever D pivoted to the casing A<1>, and rocks the lever, thereby causing the lever arm d to force the piston b inwards. A similar piston c in a cylinder C is acted upon by the end link of the rammer chain when the latter is withdrawn. Springs may be employed to return the displaced pistons instead of the constant fluid pressure. Acting in conjunction with the buffers, or independently, a device may be provided consisting of a toothed segment which is rocked by a worm driven by the rammer motor so that, at the ends of the strokes, tappets on the segment operate the motor control lever and stop the motor. The buffers may be used in conjunction with the telescopic rammer described in Specification 20,119/10.

Copying and carving.-In a statuary-copying machine in which mechanically-driven tools and a guiding-member are mounted to rock in one of two pivotally-connected frames, the other frame being pivoted in stationary bearings, one or both of the frames are reinforced by a cagelike structure or structures. In the machine shown, the blanks and the model are adapted to be uniformly rotated in a slide 2 laterally adjustable on a bed plate 1 by means of a screw 2<a>. A frame 6, pivoted in bearings 4, pivotally carries a frame 7 having a shaft 10 on which the tools are adapted to rock. The frames 6, 7 are connected by links 8, 9, parallel thereto, and are each reinforced by a framework comprising rods, tubes, angle-irons, or the like arranged in the form of two four-sided pyramids placed base to base and having their apices connected together by a tie-bar, tightening- sleeves or the like being provided to stiffen the framework. The frames 6, 7 and the parts carried thereby are balanced by a single counterweight 83, suitably placed. The blanks are first roughly worked by tools 12<a> driven from pulleys 11. The frames 6, 7 are then adjustably fixed by means of disconnectible gearings comprising a screw 42 engaging a pivoted nut 41 and a toothed segment 43 engaged by a worm 44, and the work is finished by the mechanically or manually driven set of tools shown in Figs. 2, 5, and 7.
