Heating air.-In a system in which heated or cooled air is supplied to the various compartments of a ship, the supply for each compartment being under separate control, heated and cooled tubes are provided in connexion with each compartment through either or both of which the air is delivered. As shown in Fig. 1, the apparatus for each compartment comprises bell-mouthed tubes D, E, externally cooled and heated respectively, which are contained in a divided casing A, and have an insulating partition P between them. The tubes D are cooled by water which has been passed through a refrigerator, and either hot gases, or water which is preferably heated by exhaust steam, circulates round the tubes E. The air is supplied to the inlet C preferably by a fan on deck, and is controlled by a valve F which is connected to the valves regulating the supply of the heating and cooling media so that they are simultaneously operated. A hit-and-miss valve G is also provided. In ships which pass through warm and humid climates, all the air is passed through a central cooler to extract the moisture. Either the heating or the cooling means may be used alone where circumstances render the other unnecessary.

Abstract: 4445. Lonjarret, J. P., and Vion, N. E. Feb. 20. Sheafing or binding apparatus.-Relates to a binding machine fur hay and the like in which the hay is compressed upon a rocking plate which trips the binding mechanism into action when sufficient has accumulated thereon, and consists in a portable machine of this type provided with packing, knotting, and discharging appliances of the usual type. The hay is fed from a hopper 1 by a feed-roller to the binder table 36, at the side of which are reciprocating plates 19 driven by cranks 37 on bevel-wheels 16. The plates 19 are provided with teeth and are corrugated and assist the usual packers in compressing the hay upon the rocking plate 28. The plate 28 is adjustably mounted on an arm 46 attached to a rock shaft 29, which is fitted with another arm 49 to operate a clutch on the binder-driving shaft 31. The mechanism for driving the machine is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 2, in which 5 is the main shaft driven as shown from the band pulley 3 on the shaft 4. The packer shaft 11 is driven from the shaft 5 by a belt on the pullies 10, 12, and drives by means of the transverse shaft 15, the feed-roller shaft 18, and the reciprocating side boards 19 by means of cranks attached to the bevel-wheel 16 and a similar wheel at the other end of the shaft 18 (not shown). The binder-driving shaft 31 is driven by bevelgearing 8, 9 from the main shaft 5, and drives the shaft 25 carrying the knotter and through it the shaft 24 carrying the packers.

This arrangement is now modified by providing a water-tank or reservoir within the floating body and communicating with the separate expansion chamber, which is cut off from all communication with the external water so that loss of dissolved gas is entirely prevented. In the apparatus shown, the expansion chamber e encloses the generating-chamber a, and communicates by pipes g with a tank f surrounding the upper part of the apparatus. This tank is preferably divided by partitions f<0> into compartments, with limited communication between them, and a pipe e is provided for each compartment. U-shaped relief pipes g<1> are fitted to the tank.

Granted: 1914-08-13
Abstract: 8948. Cross, P. April 8. Reservoir pens. - In order to prevent damage to the nib of a selffilling reservoir pen during the filling operation, the pen is adapted to be filled without removing the cap, the cap being provided with a number of perforations communicating with the top and the bottom of the space enclosed between the cap and the pensection, the aggregate cross - sectional area of those perforations which are immersed in the ink being substantially equal to the area of the ink-passage through the pen-section. According to the Figure, which shows one construction of pen-cap, the cap a has one or more perforations b at its end, two or more perforations c adjacent to the end d of the pen-section, and one or more perforations or slots e communicating with the upper part of the space f enclosed by the cap. The cap is immersed until the perforations c are fully covered, whereupon ink flows into the cap through the perforations b, c, and air escapes through the perforations e; at the end of the filling operation, the ink drains out of the cap through the perforations b. In this construction, the aggregate area of the perforations b, c is made substantially equal to the area of the ink-passage through the pen-section.

Title: Improvements in Vehicle Signals.
Inventor: MARTIN MULFORD
IPC: B60Q1/34
Filed: 1914-05-05
Granted: 1914-12-03
Abstract: 11,086. Martin, M. May 5. Motor-road-vehicle signals.- A signal to indicate a motordriver's intention to turn is operated by hand, and is reset automatically from the steering-gear when the car resumes a straight course after turning. A casing open at the bottom contains two signalling-plates 17, 18 marked with directionindications such as arrows, the plate 17 being shown in the exposed or operative position. Each plate is suspended by links 35 from levers 33, which are turned by link-work from pairs of toothed wheels 42. One wheel of each pair is connected by shafting, bevel-gearing, and cranks to a sliding rod such as 53, Fig. 7. The rods 53 enter a box 54 having a casing 60, from which a controlling-shaft 58 and sleeve 59 rise to a box 61, Fig. 9, within the driver's reach. The rod 53 is shown as having been moved to the operative or signalling position by the crank-arm 56, which receives its movement from the sleeve 59, arm 64, pin 65, and freely-mounted control arm 62. It is returned, when the car resumes a straight course, by the bar 69 operated by the steering-gear. This bar carries a dog 73 having a cam-surface engaging the spring plunger 80, so that the dog is depressed till its point 85 engages the hooked point 72 of an arm 71 moving integrally with the crank - arm 56. A similar dog co-operating with the plunger 79 returns the other crank-arm 56<a> after this has been turned to give a signal. The dogs are operated by the plungers 79, 80 respectively whenever the steering-wheel is moved, but they only come in contact with the hook arms 70, 71 when a signal has been displayed by the movement of one of the rods 53. In such a case, the next following reverse (straightening) movement of the steering-wheel obliterates automatically the signal that had been set to indicate a forthcoming turn to right or left.

The member o is normally held against a bar q, forming part of the carrier a, by means of springs t mounted on pins r secured to the member o. When the carrier a is moved upwards to break the circuit by means of the handle c, the member o is held for a time by the frictional engagement of the contacts p with the fixed contacts u, while the bar q moves up and compresses the springs t. As soon as the widest part of the cam has passed the rollers l, the contacts p leave the fixed contacts, the springs m giving a quick break.
