Patent GB-190903198-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Water Elevator.
Inventor: MONTGOMERY JOHN
Filed: 1909-02-09
Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 3198. Montgomery, J. Feb. 9. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic.- Comprises a device for actuating the air-distributing valve by which the air pressure is transferred automatically from one chamber to the other in apparatus of the duplex type. As soon as one of the chambers is nearly emptied, air is admitted by a pipe 12 to the end of a cylinder 11, forcing a block piston 19 from right to left. The air in the left-hand end of the cylinder escapes past a pilot valve 23, carried by the piston 19, and through a port in the side of the cylinder (not shown). At the end of the stroke, a projection 21<a> on the pilot valve contacts with a spring plug 27, causing the pilot valve to close on the seat 24 and open from the seat 25. The piston is then ready for the return stroke. Projections 19<a>, 19<b> serve to actuate the air-distributing valve controlling the water-forcing chambers.

The slide is connected directly to a rackbar 40, which, upon moving to the right as shown in Fig. 6, extends, by means of pinions and a rack, the spring controlling the slide, and also, by means of a bar 56, removes a projecting detent 53, Figs. 1 and 7, upon the spring plate 51, 55, Fig. 6, from the path of the checks. A full - stroke device consisting of a pawl 58 on a bar 561, a ratchetrack 60, and a masking-pawl 63, is provided. The four last checks inserted are exhibited through a suitable opening, and the movement of the checks along the passage under the control of the slide depresses a spring-controlled connecting-rod 44, and thus effects the release of the latch of the cash-drawer, which is thrown open by its spring. A bell is rung by the hammer 66, and the first check in the row is ejected by spring plates 72, 74 into an upper compartment.

Abstract: 1793. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Jan. 24. Mountings. - Relates to elevating and loading gear of the kind in which elevating and loading pinions, controlled by independent worm gearing, engage with a floating segmental rack. According to the invention, the loading-pinion is also operated upon by a ranging-gear which may be disconnected from the loading-pinion, when this is actuated during the loading movement. The loading-pinion E<2>, operated through a shaft f by a crank F on the trunnion axis, and the pointing-pinion D<2>, operated through wormgearing d<Î>, D<Î> by a hand-wheel D on the carriage A, both engage with a segmental rack H mounted freely on the trunnion axis. Connected with the loading- pinion E<2> is a ranging- gear, operated through worm-gearing e<Î>, E<Î> from a hand-wheel E on the trunnion axis, and connected with the range dial E<ÎÎ> through gearing g e<1Î>, e<2Î>, E<2Î>, E<3Î>. The ranging- gear may be disconnected from the pinion E<2> during the loading movement by means of clutch gear of the kind described in Specification 19,926/08, which, through the medium of a rod f<Î>, operates upon a pin f' connecting the worm-wheel E<Î> with the shaft f. The wormwheel E<Î> carries stops, as described in the above-mentioned Specification, to ensure the return of the gun to the correct firing position after loading, which firing position may be varied by moving the wormwheel E<Î> during the loading movement.

Air is compressed, or water for compressing air is pumped in the spaces 7, 8 in front of the connected pistons 2, 3 in the cylinders 6, 9, the pistons actuating the inlet valves of the charge-supplying device, the outlet valves of the charge-supplying device which serve as the inlet valves for the combustion spaces 6, 9, and the oscillatory-ring exhaust valves 18, by means of a tappet 25, Fig. 18, rods, and bell-cranks. A hand-operated ring valve 19, Fig. 2, surrounding each valve 18 directs the products into one or other set of pipes or passages 12 and determines the direction of rotation of the wheels. Each valve 18 may be divided, and its two semicircular parts adjustably connected by right and left handed screws. There may be a third valve for controlling the relative quantities of gases passing to the two wheels. The wheels 33 may be secured to a shaft 42 passing through the cylinders 6, 9 or may rotate independently, and the blades 14 may be in one therewith or be formed by boxes dovetailed to the wheels and to each other. The edges 40 of the boxes near the sides of the casing are striated. When the wheel 33 carries a tyre 44, Fig. 9, or the like, the two parts of the casing may be kept up to the wheel 33 by ring-shaped splines 45 of dovetailed section, and the passages 12 on opposite sides of the wheel may be connected by perforations 47 through the wheel. The casings 32 and cylinders 6, 9 may be connected by interrupted threads. A brake, as described in Specification 1860/10, may be arranged to act on the periphery of each wheel 33 or on a separate brake pulley attached thereto.

Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 7290. Schenk, W. March 23. Preserving food. -In a process and apparatus for closing preserve jars &c., atmospheric pressure is employed for pressing the cover ot the jar on to its seating during admission of air to the exhausted casing containing the jar. In one form of apparatus, the pressure acts through a diaphragm 8 carried by a cover 7 applied directly to the jar 3 as shown in Fig. 4, or to a casing 6, Fig. 1, enclosing the jar. In both forms a connexion 11 is made to an air pump. The area of the diaphragm is less than that of the jar cover. The diaphragm acts either directly or through an intermediate disk 10 resting on the cover of the jar. The arrangement is such that a small space only exists between the jar and the casing and only a small pump is required. In another form, the membrane may be arranged below the jar which is then, with its cover, pressed up against a fixed support within the casing, or the jar may rest upon a suitably guided piston forming a part of the bottom of the casing. For operating on a number of receptacles simultaneously, either a separate membrane or piston may be employed in the casing cover for each receptacle, or a single large piston or membrane may be employed acting directly on the covers of receptacles, or, indirectly through transmitting levers.

Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 23,111. Moody, G. H., and Pecry, R. G. Oct. 6. Variable-speed toothed gearing.-In variablespeed gearing of the sliding-gear type, one gear such as j<1> of each pair is formed of different sections j<2>, j<3>, j<4> one of which, j<3>, comprises a complete ring of teeth, while the others j<2>, j<4>, each have a proportion of teeth missing so as to leave a space or gap j<5>, the object being to facilitate intermeshing. Four such composite gears i<1>, j<1>, l<1>, k<1> are, in the form shown in Fig. 5, adapted to slide together on a feather on a driving-shaft n so as to come into driving relation alternatively with gears i, j, l, k, respectively, on a countershaft m. When an operating-lever o is in its extreme position on the left, the complete ring section i<3> of the gear i<1> is meshing with and driving the gear i. In order to change the gear, the lever o is first moved a stop to the right into the configuration shown in Fig. 5, and it must only be possible to do this when the gap j<5> on the right of the gear j<1> is adjacent to the gear j. The shaft n then makes half a revolution, at the end of which time the gap i<5> of the gear i<1> has come opposite the gear i, so as to release that gear, and the teeth of the section j<4> of the gear j<1> have engaged the gear j. It then becomes possible for the lever o to move a step farther so as to bring the complete ring section j<3> of the gear j<1> into the plane of the gear j. The lever o is actuated by a slidable rod u<1>, Fig. 6, through a pair of springs p, p<1> threaded on a fixed guide-rod o<2>. The movements at the proper times are allowed to the lever o by the passage of the projection o<1> through gaps q<2> in a series of disks q secured to a shaft r which is connected by gearing v<1>, v to the shaft n. The end of the rod u<1> is formed as a rack to turn a pinion u<2>, Fig. 6, to operate a cam u<3>, which serves to bring into engagement a, claw clutch u, through which a direct drive can be obtained to a shaft n<1> in line with the shaft n. Reversed driving is obtained through a gear s slidable on the shaft m.
