Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 12,473. Abbott, J. May 28. Mountings; delivery pipes.-A pump for injecting oil into the wheels of railway and tramway vehicles is operated by a link 20, Fig. 2, connected to a vertically moving platform 2, 2<a> carrying the vehicle. The pump 5 is pivoted in an oil reservoir 18, and, when the plunger 19 descends, the delivery nozzle 22 is moved into register with the oil-box 4 of the vehicle wheel by rollers 23 running over a spring- supported guide 24. A guide 27 moves the nozzle out of register at the end of the upstroke. Fig. 9 shows a modification in which the nozzle is moved into its delivery-position by the oil pressure. The nozzle 48 slides on a stationary piston 51 secured to a casing 52, so that the oil pressure acting on the piston moves the nozzle to the left. A spring 54 returns the nozzle when the pressure is removed.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Control Mechanism for the Engines and Brakes of Railway Trains.
Inventor: BROWNE PATRICK
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 1913-11-26
Granted: 1914-08-20
Abstract: 27,226. Browne, P. Nov. 26. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains. -For line clear,' a wire or abutment on the track is electrically alive. On contact with a lever 18 projecting from the engine, the lever is turned, depressing a lever 16, which in turn depresses a rack 15 gearing with a pinion 14 mounted upon the stem of a valve 13 arranged in the inlet pipe 12 of a turbine 9. The pinion 14 is also geared to a rack 15<a>, which is therefore raised when the rack 15 is depressed, a pawl 20 engaging the rack 15<a> when it is raised. The admission of steam to the turbine 9 sets in motion the train of gearing 4, 2. An additional throttle valve 28 is controlled by a centrifugal governor 25. The rotation of the gear-wheel 2, which operates a hand on an external dial through one revolution, releases the pawl 20 by the engagement therewith of a pin 21 carried by the wheel 2, and the apparatus is reset. The track abutment is electrically alive. so that when contact with the lever is made, current passes through a wire 46 to electro-magnets 47, attracting an armature 49 and pulling over the hinged end 30 of a rack 32 into the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1, clear of the lever 16, and thereby rendering the rack 32 inoperative. For ' danger,' the abutment on the track is electrically dead, so that in addition to the operations previously described, the rack 32 is depressed, thereby operating a pinion 33 mounted upon the spindle of a valve 35. This operation admits steam to a cylinder 37, drives down a piston 38, thereby pulling a wire 39 connected to the throttle valve of the locomotive and shutting off steam. At the bottom of its stroke, the piston 38 strikes a plunger 40, operating the brake valve 44 and at the same time closing the valve 35. The racks 15, 32, on being depressed, also actuate visual ' caution ' and ' danger ' signals respectively.

Abstract: 13,622. Guerre, H. June 7, 1913, [Convention date]. Projectiles; projectile fuses. - Relates to incendiary bombs intended to be dropped from air-craft, of the kind in which, at the moment of impact, a relative sliding movement of two parts of the bomb causes the ignition of the charge. According to the invention, the sliding movement operates means to perforate a reservoir containing inflammable liquid and simultaneously releases spring mechanism which operates a pyrophoric igniter. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the fixed reservoir 4 is pierced by spikes 12 on a body part 8 adapted to slide on a central rod 1. The body part 8 carries, as shown in Fig. 3, the pyrophoric igniter 23, 24 and its spring mechanism, which is released, when the body 8 slides, by a fixed blade 6, Fig. 1. The central rod 1 has a directing-tail 30 and a barbed head for penetrating and gripping a balloon.

Granted: 1915-07-08
Abstract: 18,593. Wade, H., [Electric Compositor Co.]. Aug. 12. Magazines and escapements for type - bar - making machines. Relates to the construction of the escapements and to means for mounting them whereby their removal is facilitated. The magazine consists of grooved front and back plates A, C which are connected by end plates P and are separated by distance-pieces at intervals. The plate C is shorter than the plate A and is continued at its lower end by a series of metal blocks B placed side by side and supported by a bar N, which is fixed to the plate C. The blocks are held in place by removable locking-bars S, T, engaging in grooves. Each block has in one face a recess which contains an escapement comprising a starwheel E, two detent levers F, G, an operating- lever H, and a rebound-preventing dog J mounted on pins projecting from the recessed face of the block. Rotation of the star-wheel is normally prevented by a roller on the lever F, which is retracted by the depression of a key. The movement of the star-wheel is stopped by a roller on the lever G, which is connected with the lever F and moves reciprocally with it. The dog J prevents rotation of the star-wheel in the wrong direction.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Pliers for Making Dental Backings.
IPC: A61C13/12
Filed: 1914-08-13
Granted: 1915-07-08
Abstract: 18,656. Dental Manufacturing Co., and Latchford, A. Aug. 13. Pliers. - Relates to pliers for shaping metal dental backings of either circular or triangular section, and consists in providing on a single pair of jaws, two pairs of coacting surfaces forming circular or triangular recesses respectively when the jaws are in the closed position. The jaws 4 are shaped to form the triangular recess, and two metal dies 5, 6 which are screwed on to the lower and projecting parts of the jaws, and have respectively a recess and a corresponding engaging tongue 8, form the circular recess. To make a circular backing, a piece of sheet metal is bent into an elongated U-section and this piece is gripped near its bend in the circular recess until the metal is formed to the required section. The metal is then flattened over the front of the jaws with a hammer. For making a triangular backing, the same process is gone through, first in the circular recess, but with a piece of wire in the U-bend. The metal is flattened and the wire removed, and the metal then transferred to the triangular gap and flattened again.

Inventor: DENNE MARK THOMAS
IPC: D05B27/10
Filed: 1913-10-06
Granted: 1914-11-06
Abstract: 19,354. Denne, M. T. Oct. 6, 1913. Sewing-machines; presser-bars; locking and lifting.-A presser is lifted from the work and depressed after engagement with the work so as to compress it by amounts which may be adjusted independently of each other. A pivoted presserbar 2 has toothed engagement with a segment 5, which is also engaged by a pinion 8. The spindle 9 of the pinion 8 is mounted in a cam-actuated lever 11. When the spindle 9 is free to rotate, movement of the lever 10 causes the pinion to run idly over the segment 5. A ratchet-wheel 10 is secured upon the spindle 9 and is adapted to be locked by either of two oppositely-acting detents 16, 17, and when the spindle 9 is thereby locked, movement of the lever 11 is transmitted directly to the segment 5 by the locked pinion and thence to the presser. The amount of movement of the lever 11 after the wheel' 10 engages with the detent 17 is effective to impart to the presser a work-consolidating movement, and that after the wheel 10 engages with the detent 16 is effective for lifting the presser.

Contents, delivering.-A device for delivering matches singly comprises a hopper 1, formed with V-shaped sides, a straight front, and a sloping back 3, the front consisting of two portions, namely, a lower part 5 and an upper part set back from it in a slightly higher plane. The outside of the upper part is provided with guides 6 in which sharp-pointed pickers 7 are adapted to slide, the arrangement being such that the pickers, when depressed, strike the back of the hopper at a height of about half the thickness of a match from the bottom angle. Holes backed by india-rubber pads may be formed in the back of the hopper where the pickers strike. The pickers are manipulated by depressing the knob 11 of a forked lever 8 pivoted to the sides of the casing, and the arms of the lever may be counterweighted &c. to keep the pickers normally in the raised position. The slot or gap 14 between the two parts forming the front of the hopper is normally closed by a pivoted flap 15 having a corrugation 16 fitting into the slot. This flap is raised slightly by the act of depressing the pickers, and falls correspondingly when they are raised bearing the engaged match, forcing this to fall off the points on to a sloping delivery platform 17. The device may be enclosed within a casing, which may bear advertisements &c. Specification 8754/14 is referred to.
