Inventor: STUMPF JOHANN
IPC: F01B17/04
Filed: 1909-07-05
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 15,604. Stumpf, J. July 5. Cam gears; link-motions and linkage gears.- Relates to engines for marine, rolling-mill, or other uses, of the type in which the exhaust takes place through ports uncovered by the piston, and consists in the provision of an auxiliary valve - gear giving a later cut - off than the main gear, particularly for use in starting. The gear may be adapted to operate a supplementary valve, or to modify the action of the main valve. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the main inlet valve 1 is operated by a rod 10 pivoted at II to the link 4 of a Heusinger gear, an auxiliary valve 3 being operated by a rod 13 pivoted at III to the link 4. The auxiliary gear may be cut out by a cock, or by other means.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Applying Brakes on Engines on Railways.
Inventor: PRICE HAROLD WILBERFORCE
IPC: B61L3/22
Filed: 1909-07-19
Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 16,816. Price, H. W. July 19. Track apparatus for stopping trains.-In order to ensure actuation of the brake-operating apparatus by a momentary break in the circuit or reduction of current through the receiving-apparatus on the locomotive, two magnets A, B are connected in parallel, one B having a higher selfinduction than the other A. The armature of magnet A breaks the circuit from the battery 6, and the more powerful magnet B controls the brake-valve operating-lever D through its armature C. As the contact wheels F, G pass over the insulation blocks 3, the circuit from the battery 6 through the armature 9, of the magnet A, through magnets A, B in parallel, and through the leads 16 and track rails, is broken, or the current is considerably diminished, according to the resistance of the insulation piece. The high self-induction of the coil B causes a reverse current in the magnet A, so that the magnetic flux in its core is reduced to zero, and its armature drops, thereby opening and keeping open the circuit of the magnets A, B. The magnet B will drop its armature after a short time, which is, however, longer than the break of the circuit due to the passage over the blocks 3. In order to increase the speed of action further, the armature of the magnet A may be polarized.

Abstract: 25,577. Woodhouse, A. E. Nov. 5. Flexible metal tubes.-Conduits or -casings particularly suitable inter alia for electric conductors, of the type such as is described in Specification 6010/06, [Class 36, Electricity, Conducting &c.], consisting of a separable trough and cover, are constructed so that they can be bent by hand in any direction without sharp angles, by forming the halves a, b, with corrugations c, as indicated in Fig. 1. The crests and hollows may run continuously round the trough or cover, or the crests and hollows on the sides may coincide respectively with hollows and crests on the top or bottom. To increase the flexibility, a slit d may be formed down the cover, or in place of this, a series of slits as indicated in dotted lines, may be used; a corrugated strip e is secured on the cover beneath this slit, preferably by means of rivets f. In a modification, the trough and cover units are each made up from stampings, such as shown in Figs. 9 and 10. The narrow stamping g, shown in Fig. 10, is placed over the wide one h, shown in Fig. 9, and the projecting ends k<4> are folded over the tongues k so as to allow sliding to take place. The lugs k<2> on the stamping h embrace the lugs k<3> on the stamping g and act as stops to limit the movement of the tongues k, k<1> when bending takes place in one direction, the limit being reached in the other direction when edges of the tongues themselves come into contact. The outer edges of the tongues k are preferably convex. These slotted strips, instead of each being made in one piece of metal, may be built up from stampings as indicated in Figs. 11 and 12. The end portions of these lengths may be left plain, so that they may be joined in the manner described in the Specification mentioned above. The sections may be tinned, so that, after having been bent they may be heated and sweated together; and sections of the casing may be used for connecting up rigid cases and covers at angles and bends.
