Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 14,057. L÷wy, H., and Leimbach, G. June 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Prospecting and water-finding.-A method of systematically investigating large parts of the interior of the earth for the presence of electrically conductive bodies, such as ores, coal, water, &c. consists in using antennae for transmitting and receiving electric waves arranged vertically. For investigating flat areas, the antennµ wires, which are about 200 metres long and have the spark-gap and detector in the middle, are sunk in vertical holes as indicated in Fig. 1, whereupon if waves transmitted from S are received at E<1> but not at E<2> the presence of electrically conductive bodies between S and E‹ is indicated. By dividing the area to be investigated into squares and sinking holes at the angular points, investigation can be made along a large number of lines for each area, such number depending upon the distance of action of the waves. In mountainous districts, the antennae are placed vertically at the surface on the slope, and for islands and peninsulas, the antennµ are sunk on the coast, or in the water in proximity thereto.

Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 22,677. Smith, W. W. Oct. 14. [Cognate Application, 8661/12.] Lever-actuated pumps; casings for actuating- mechanism; regulating delivery by by-passes.- A pump for lubricating an internal-combustion engine for motor-cycles &c. is actuated by one of the engine valve tappets, or by a collar on the valve stem, and the supply of oil is regulated by means of a Bowden wire from the handle-bar. The pump is enclosed in a casing 1, secured to the timing-gear case &c., external to the crank chamber, and the plunger 6 is actuated by a bell-crank lever 11 engaged by a headed rod 13, which is moved upwards to effect the forcing stroke by a flanged collar 16 on the stem 17 of the inlet valve. The return stroke of the piston is effected by a spring 8. The lower arm of the lever 11 may engage loosely in a slot in the piston so that the return stroke is in part positive. To regulate the supply of oil from the pump, a valve 22 in the delivery pipe 21, and a bypass valve 23 communicating with the suction pipe 10, 19, are coupled together and actuated by a Bowden wire 24. The valves are so arranged that one is open when the other is shut, and by adjusting them, any proportion of the oil coming from the pump can be returned to the suction side through the bypass. Instead of using a by-pass, the Bowden wire may control a device limiting the stroke of the piston.

Abstract: 17,757. Holliday, C. E., and Renold, Ltd., H. July 31. Variable-speed belt and chain gearing comprising only two chain, belt, or like gear trains yields four speed-ratios by operating clutches on two shafts only. A driving-shaft a carries two loose gears c, d adapted to be engaged alternatively by a double clutch g, Figs. 9 and 11, slidably connected to the shaft. A driven shaft b carries loose gears e, f and a sliding double clutch h. A ' cross-over ' shaft i carries two gears l, connected so as to turn together. One chain m, passes over the gears c, e, k and another chain n passes over the gears d, f, l. Two speeds are produced by moving the clutches g, h together in the one and in the other direction, and two other speeds are produced by moving these clutches in opposite directions. In the latter cases, both chains are in action. To move the clutches in the same direction, the lever y engages simultaneously their striking-forks w, x. To move the clutches in opposite directions, the lever y is slid to the right, disengaging the fork w and engaging the upper end of a pivoted lever z as well as the fork x. The lower end of the lever z remains in engagement with the fork w, effecting the reversed movement. The chains are tightened by eccentrics on the shaft i. Means for effecting reversed driving comprises an additional chain p, Fig. 3, an additional clutch gear q on the shaft a, and a pair of gears o, one of which engages one of the chains m, n. The invention is suitable for motorvehicles and for machine tools.

Abstract: 19,866. Pindstofte, A. A. Aug. 30. Bottles and the like, washing.-Comprises a construction of apparatus for steaming bottles and the like, of the kind in which baskets filled with the bottles are moved successively up one side of an open-bottomed steam chamber, then across the top, and finally down the other side of the chamber. The apparatus comprises a chamber a terminating in a wider trough b. The full baskets are pushed rearwards one by one from a raised ledge in the front portion of the trough on to that part of a table f immediately beneath the rising column of baskets. The table f is reciprocated vertically by the worm gear shown, and during the ascending movement the basket on the table raises the whole column of baskets by tilting and thus passing the pivoted latches p. On the return stroke the latches hold this lowest basket in the raised position. The lifting movement brings the top basket into contact with the pusher q mounted on the chain r. The end of the chain at the right-hand side of Fig. 1 is connected to hand-actuated or intermittentlyoperated automatic power-driven mechanism so that the pusher moves the top basket on to the descending column of baskets during the return movement of the table. A weight t restores the pusher when the chain is released. The descending column of baskets is supported normally by sliding latches which are withdrawn by a hand or automatically operated lever when the table commences its return stroke, so that the column of baskets may move downward with the table. When the bottom basket is clear of the chamber, the latches are reengaged with the last basket but one in the column, while the lowest basket continues to move down to the delivery point. During their movement through the chamber, the bottles are subjected to the action of steam from a boiler d heated by a steam-pipe e, or they may be treated by steam introduced into the chamber from an external source. The heat at the top of the chamber is sufficient to sterilize the bottles. The cooling of the bottles during their downward movement may be accelerated by injecting water into the lower part of the chamber.

Abstract: 22,117. King, C. W., and Geraghty, W. Sept. 28. Franking-machines.-In a franking-machine of the kind in which the die-plunger is raised against the action of a spring by coin-released mechanism and when released is operated by the spring to make the impression, the plunger is fitted with a hinged hook which is engaged by a coin-controlled catch lever to raise the plunger, the hook being automatically released from the lever when the plunger has been raised to a certain extent. The hook is normally maintained by gravity in a vertical position. As shown, a plunger 22 with a die 26 is arranged in a casing 12, and is guided by fins 23 moving in slots 21 in an internal collar 20 in a cylinder 18 in which the plunger slides. A pivoted hook 28 on the plunger is engaged by a spring-controlled lever arm 33, which is operated by a lever 31 when a lever 38 is moved by the weight of a coin inserted down a shoot 17 on a flap 39 on the lever 38 which is balanced on a knifeedge. The plunger is thus raised against the action of a spring 24, and when the hook 28 comes opposite a curved part 36 of a guide 35 which normally keeps the hook vertical, the hook is released and the plunger descends under action of spring 24. A second spring 25 restores the plunger to normal position.

Abstract: 15,658. White, C. M., [Sturges, M. E.]. July 7. Systems, electro-magnetic. - In an electricrailway system of the kind in which fixed motor members extend along the track and the movable elements of the motor are carried by the cars, the motor elements on the cars are so supported as to be unaffected by the ordinary transverse movements of the cars and means are provided whereby the cars can be propelled at different speeds on different parts of the system. In the construction shown in plan and end elevation in Figs. 1 and 2 respectively, the car body is carried on a frame 7 having downwardly-extending brackets 8 in which are mounted bars 9. The adjacent ends of each pair of bars support a frame 10 carrying wheels 12 and motor elements 14. Springs 11 are inserted between the frames 7 and the frames 10, whereby relative movement of the frames is permitted while the air gap between the fixed and movable motor elements is maintained constant by the wheels 12 engaging the rails 4. A modification is described in which the motor elements on the cars are mounted centrally between springs on the bars 9. The speed of the cars or their rates of acceleration or retardation can be varied at different points along the track by sectioning the track elements and supply conductors for the motor elements on the cars and varying the frequency of the current delivered to the sections as desired.
